A stunning mermaid dressed in the 1980s, the whole family lined up to pamper her endlessly.

Chapter 297

"Jiaojiao, did you catch this?"

Several people circled around the grouper, grinning from ear to ear.

Napoleon wrasse are not cheap, but this one is relatively small for its size, and it costs around 16 yuan per jin (500g).

"I didn't catch it; I traded it with that big bird."

"That eagle just now?"

This scene sounds so familiar.

Yun Linhe suddenly said, "Could it be that eagle from before?"

Yun Jiao nodded: "That's it."

Yun Linhe couldn't help but laugh: "How come you always seem to run into it?"

And it always managed to trick them into giving it their fish.

Yun Jiao protested, "I traded with it. Look how happy it is to see how many fish I caught."

Although the combined price of all those fish was less than a third of the price of this Napoleon wrasse.

Yun Linhai chuckled and said, "Jiaojiao is so smart."

Yun Jiao: Of course not.

They put the Napoleon wrasse back in the freezer and went back to exploring the island.

Chu An was astonished by the catch he had made in the past two hours: "Do fishermen ever catch this much?"

"Not everyone gets this benefit; many people don't come to these islands."

“We won’t have such a good harvest on the islands near our village.”

Chu An asked, puzzled, "Why? Others should know that the harvest is better on more remote islands."

Yun Chennan: "It's because it's too far away, and you only look at how much you can harvest. These things aren't worth much if you sell them, and how much can you eat at home? It's like eating sweet potatoes every day; you get tired of eating these things all the time."

"The reason we were able to travel this far is because we didn't have to row by hand on the way back. Otherwise, if we rowed back with so much stuff, we would be exhausted and wouldn't be able to sell it for much, which would be a huge loss."

"Furthermore, the farther the distance, the greater the danger. So ordinary wooden boats don't dare to go that far. As for those iron boats, they can catch more by simply casting nets at sea than by going to the islands to go beachcombing."

Chu An asked, puzzled, "Then why did you drive so far?"

Is it because there are many people on the boat, and everyone takes turns rowing on the way back, so it shouldn't be too tiring?

Yun Chennan didn't answer him, but patted his shoulder and said, "You'll know when we get back."

Instead of fighting those mussels, they went looking for other things.

On a fresh island, you can always find some relatively expensive seafood, though not much.

Yun Jiao discovered a nest of stone clams gathered together; these clams weren't cheap either.

She didn't rush in recklessly; the place was close to the sea, and if she went there and disturbed the fish, they would quickly disappear into the sea.

She turned and went to find help.

Upon hearing that there was a nest of rock clams, Yunlin Hai and Yunlin He grabbed a net and quickly followed Yun Jiao.

Everyone was excited to see the fish, but they were also worried about how to catch more.

After discussing it, they decided that Yun Jiao would hold one end of the fishing net and dive into the sea, going deeper, while they held the other end, trying to catch the fish without disturbing them.

Yun Jiao grabbed the fishing net and jumped into the sea, swimming towards the stone clam fish.

She was fast and moved very lightly, and because she was in a relatively deep place, the stone clam fish did not notice her.

She didn't stop until the fishing net could be pulled as far as possible, then quietly emerged from the water with the net.

Yun Jiao gestured in the direction of her father and the others that it was okay, and the two sides closed in together.

By the time the stone clam fish realized what was happening and tried to escape, most of them had already crashed into the fishing net.

Only a few escaped through the gaps in the fishing net; most were caught.

There are more than thirty of them.

Some of the smaller ones were simply thrown into the sea.

Seeing this harvest, Yun Linhai and his group grinned from ear to ear, their teeth practically showing.

"It's still early. Let's use a fishing net to enclose this area and then go check out other parts of the island." These rock clams won't die in the seawater if they're enclosed in a fishing net; bringing them back to the boat now would make them less fresh.

After confirming that the fish were all in the seawater but couldn't escape, everyone excitedly went to other places.

"Wow, there's such a big crab here. This crab... why is it so round?"

"It was also holding a smaller one."

Yun Jiao recognized the crab: "This is a mantou crab, and the smaller one is its wife."

She had seen them many times in the sea. These mantis crabs were rather round and cute. She often saw a large one carrying a smaller one as they swam across the seabed.

Later she found out that the smaller one was the wife of the mantou crab.

It was the first time Chu An and Wang Hongfei had learned this little-known fact, and they all gathered around the two mantou crabs.

"This is so strange, I don't even want to catch them and take them home to eat."

"If they don't want to arrest me, they don't have to. There are other options."

The two crabs were so affectionate that they couldn't bear to eat each other.

"Uncle, there are snakes here."

Upon hearing Shen Xiuyuan's shout, Yun Linhai quickly raised his voice and cried out, "Don't grab them! Sea snakes are all poisonous!"

They hurried over, and sure enough, there was a black and white sea snake in the crevice of the reef.

Yun Linhai: "Everyone stand back, this stuff is very poisonous."

For safety reasons, no one caught the sea snake.

Yun Jiao, on her side, liked to wander around by herself, and then she came to a place near the sea with a slightly steep coastline. With her excellent eyesight, she spotted a super-sized fish swimming between the rocks below the island.

Some seabirds were flying over the sea. Yun Jiao saw that the fish were lurking among the rocks. When the seabirds flew down to catch the fish, the lurking fish suddenly burst out with tremendous force and speed, and with a single snap of its beak, it snatched a seabird.

Fish eating birds is a rare sight.

What a thrilling hunt!

She glanced at the distance from here to the sea; it was quite high, about twenty meters. If she jumped in and came back, she'd definitely get a beating.

However, she felt restless and itchy if she didn't catch such a big fish.

"Father, Uncle!"

Let's just call them over to discuss it.

She did arrive, and with a shout, she summoned a whole bunch of people.

For some reason, no matter where Yun Jiao was, if she let out a shout, everyone else, no matter what they were doing, would excitedly run over.

Yun Jiao calling out means she's found something good.

This is what everyone assumes.

So everyone came to watch.

"What's wrong, honey?"

"Jiaojiao has found something good again."

Chu An yelled, "Wait! Wait until I get there before you make a move! I want to see it with my own eyes!"

Yun Jiao: …………

Once everyone had gathered around, she pointed down.

“It’s a very large fish, probably over a meter long, and it also hunts seabirds.”

As they were talking, another unfortunate seabird was eaten by a large fish that leaped out of the water.

A group of people gasped in surprise.

"Bullback tuna, it's bullback tuna!"

"Wow, it's huge."

Wang Hongfei: "Wow, this fish even eats birds! That's amazing!"
