Chapter 123 Oyster Pearl
Yunlin Hai and Yunlin He also noticed it, and their faces immediately lit up with joy.

"Quickly pull it up and let's see what kind of fish it is."

"It's a mudskipper, and it's quite big. Watch out for the thorns on its back."

Yun Linhai, wearing work gloves, said, "I'll come and get it."

Although mudskippers are not valuable, only worth seven or eight cents a pound, this fish is quite large, so it's a good start.

Yun Linhe rubbed his hands together: "Let me try too."

The feeling of opening blind boxes is quite exciting.

"Holy crap, it's a toadfish, and it's really ugly."

"This hook is missing."

"Hahaha... This is a squid."

"Ahhh, sea snake, sea snake, Jiaojiao, be careful!"

Yun Linhai: "Take him alive, I'll do it!"

Live sea snakes are not cheap.

Yun Linhai seized the sea snake by its vital spot, put it in a bag, and tied it up tightly.

The joy of longline fishing lies in the unknown. Look at how Yun Jiao and Yun Lin Hai have pulled up a lot of fish one after another. Although there were also some empty hooks, the harvest was much greater.

Yun Linhai rubbed his hands together and said, "Let me try too."

This fishing method yields pretty good results.

After he got his hands on the fish, he pulled up a few pieces of seafood, mostly toadfish and squid, but it was still pretty good.

"Xiao Fu, why don't you give it a try?"

Fu Mingyu was somewhat tempted; just watching him from the sidelines was amusing. However, given his previous failed attempt at fishing, he was a little uncertain.

"Let's try it."

Yun Jiao nudged him.

Fu Mingyu nodded: "Okay."

Then, all three hooks in a row were empty.

"hiss……"

The other three people on the ship were scratching their heads in dismay; Fu Mingyu's shipping business was ridiculously bad.

This is still a newbie, there's no protection period yet.

By the fourth hook, everyone had given up hope, but this one actually turned out to be a catch.

Before everyone's eyes could even light up, when they were pulled up, four pairs of eyes stared at the tiny fish, wide-eyed at each other.

"Damn, green stripe."

"Green stripe" is what they call it here; this fish also has a more famous name: herring.

It's thin and long, not even as long as the palm of your hand.

Yun Jiao pushed Fu Mingyu aside and said, "You shouldn't go fishing anymore. It's not for you."

Yunlin Hai and Yunlin He nodded in deep agreement.

Although Fu Mingyu's expression didn't change much, he just pursed his lips and frowned slightly, but his displeasure was clearly visible.

He felt that the sea was targeting him.

Yun Linhe coughed and said, "Didn't we find an island last time, but the tide was too high and we couldn't go? Shall we go check it out this time?"

Coincidentally, the island was discovered on the very day Yun Jiao rescued Fu Mingyu.

"it is good."

If there's anything on the island, Fu Mingyu wouldn't leave empty-handed, would he?

After retrieving the longline, they quickly rowed the boat to the island, otherwise Fu Mingyu felt like he was about to shatter.

Although Fu Mingyu was indeed very depressed, she was not that fragile.

He stared at Yun Jiao's smile, and his mood quickly improved.

Yun Jiao's smile is infectious, sunny and radiant, making people feel good without even realizing it.

There was no high tide when we arrived at the island.

This was an unfamiliar island; they had never been here before. They found a place to dock their boat.

"It looks like no one else has ever been to this island."

After a quick inspection, Yunlinhai and Yunlinhe concluded that the reason was because the snails on the reefs were all plump and large.

It's good that no one has come; it means there's a lot to be gained on this island.

"Bag, bring me a bag, there are so many big snails here!"

Sea snails, whelks, bull's-eye snails... on the reef

Those things crawling on the rocks are so funny they make you laugh out loud.

Yun Linhai handed Fu Mingyu a bag.

"This time we won't come away empty-handed."

Indeed, if those snails on the reef could see Fu Mingyu run away, then they would really be far from Dapu.

We encountered such a large patch of snails as soon as we arrived on the island, and everyone was extremely happy collecting them.

"Xiao Fu, be careful. These rocks are slippery. Don't go up to higher places."

Yun Linhai was quite worried about the two children. After instructing Fu Mingyu, he also told Yun Jiao to be careful. "Okay."

They avoided the dangerous reefs.

After bypassing the area, Yun Jiao and Fu Mingyu discovered a large number of oysters on the rocky beach behind them.

Not only are there many, but they are also big!

"Father, Uncle!"

Yun Jiao quickly called out.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"Dad, so many oysters."

Yun Jiao pointed to the oyster beach.

Upon seeing Yunlinhai and Yunlinhe, one immediately gasped in shock.

Goodness, that's a lot!

Yun Jiao walked over quickly, pried off an oyster, and found it to be much larger than her palm.

She squatted down and used brute force to open one of them.

Oyster shells are very thick and large; you really need some strength to break them open.

The meat inside was plump and juicy, and the live oyster meat was still slightly curled and wriggling.

"So fat."

These were spoken by three voices simultaneously.

Yunlinhai and Yunlinhe also came over.

"Goodness, how long will it take to shuck these oysters?"

Except for the shell, all the meat of oysters is edible.

It's delicious with just a simple steaming or boiling.

Moreover, this stuff is very nutritious.

Yun Jiao couldn't resist the temptation of the succulent meat and took a bite.

Yunlin Sea & Yunlin River: …………

"At least cook it."

When you bite into the fattest part of an oyster, you'll find some green stuff inside.

Those who don't know might mistake it for oyster droppings, but it's actually algae that oysters eat, and it's edible.

Fu Mingyu: "Is it delicious?"

Yun Jiao mumbled, "Shall I open one for you to try?"

He twitched his nose slightly, then shook his head in refusal.

He couldn't bring himself to eat it raw.

Yun Jiao: "It's delicious."

After saying that, she took another bite.

However, as soon as he took a bite, he felt a crunch in his mouth as if he had bitten into something.

Yun Jiao stopped chewing and then spat something out.

"What is this, a stone?"

Fu Mingyu leaned over and took a look.

Yun Jiao: "It looks like a pearl."

Even after spitting out the food, it didn't stop her from finishing what was in her mouth.

Yun Jiao washed herself with water and then observed carefully.

"It really is a pearl."

In her palm was a pearl the size of a soybean, white in color, and quite nicely shaped.

The pearl's luster isn't very good; it looks like a round pearl made from a white stone that's been polished.

"There are pearls inside the oysters?"

Fu Mingyu said he had learned something new.

"Huh? What pearls?"

Yun Linhe, who was shucking oysters, heard something and walked over. Then he stared blankly at the pearl in Yun Jiao's palm.

"What is this?"

Yun Jiao honestly replied, "I spat it out because it was hard on my teeth while eating the raw oyster."

Yun Linhe took a few seconds to react: "Pearls?!?"

His suddenly louder voice attracted Yun Linhai's attention.

then……

"What?! This is a pearl?! There are pearls inside oysters?!"

Yun Jiao blinked: She didn't know either. She had never seen oysters in her past life, and none of the oysters she had eaten in this life contained pearls.

The weather has been so unpredictable that I caught a cold. I'm not feeling well right now, so I'm taking a day off. I'll continue writing tomorrow.
