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

Chapter 142 Money was stolen
The bluefin tuna lay quietly in the freezer, and Yun Xiaowu and Grandpa Yun were overjoyed when they saw it.

"Stop crowding around, we need to get rid of this fish."

"Dad, there are still some silver pomfret on the boat. We'll weigh them for Awang first, and then we'll take the tuna to the Dayun Restaurant in town to sell."

Grandpa Yun nodded repeatedly: "Alright, go quickly."

"Let those two lads, Chen Dong and Chen Xi, go with them."

Yun Xiaowu jumped up: "I want to go too! Dad, I want to go too!"

"Don't go, Dad will buy you something delicious to eat."

If Yun Xiaowu goes, Xiaoliu, Xiaoqi, and Xiaoba will definitely go too.

"I do not!"

Yun Xiaowu felt wronged. Why was it always them who had to stay at home?

It's one thing if it's far away, but the town isn't far, so why should it be like this?

Yun Xiaowu immediately started throwing a tantrum on the ground.

Yun Jiao carried the baby sea turtle and walked up to Yun Xiaowu.

"Father, brother is going."

She patted her chest and promised, "Jiaojiao, I'll protect my brothers."

Small in stature, yet exceptionally confident.

But with her strength, she certainly has reason to be confident.

"Okay, let's go together then."

His daughter's eyes were so determined that he couldn't refuse.

Yun Xiaowu and the others immediately cheered.

They ran over and each of them kissed Yun Jiao on the cheek.

Yun Jiao was dizzy, "Stop kissing me! Stop kissing me!"
Before leaving, Yun Jiao and the others went back to change their clothes, and put the little sea turtle in a basin to raise it.

After that, I followed the bluefin tuna onto the tractor, driven by the village chief's son.

He volunteered when he heard that he was going to send bluefin tuna.

The tractor chugged along until it reached the entrance of the Dayun Restaurant in town.

Yunlinhe went in to find someone.

When the staff at Dayun Restaurant heard that bluefin tuna had been delivered, they immediately went to find the manager of this branch.

"Where are the bluefin tuna? Where are they?"

The banquet is in two days, and the arrival of a fresh bluefin tuna at this crucial moment will undoubtedly make their Dayun Restaurant the star of the show.

The employer will definitely be very satisfied.

"Was it just done?"

Yun Lin nodded: "Yes, Mr. Lin will go up and take a look."

"Good good."

Mr. Lin rubbed his hands together, climbed onto the tractor, and carefully inspected the bluefin tuna. He confirmed that it was fresh, that it had been caught and delivered that day, and that the blood had been drained. He was extremely satisfied.

"Great! Our Dayun Restaurant will take this fish. How about seven yuan a pound?"

Yunlin River: "Boss Lin, give us a fair price. When our boat docked at the pier, someone bid for this fish and offered seven dollars."

We came because we heard you were preparing a banquet, which meant the purchase price would be higher. Besides, we have more than just bluefin tuna; we also have a grouper.

Only then did Boss Lin notice the spotted rat in the corner that he had overlooked, because the bluefin tuna was just too eye-catching.

"A spotted mouse, is this also fresh?"

"It was caught around the same time as this bluefin tuna. Although it's dead, it's still fresh."

That grouper was quite large, and their restaurant had advanced preservation technology, so these two fish could be kept until the day after tomorrow without any problem.

The grouper, also known as the king of groupers, is not only prized for its tender and delicious flesh, but also for its rich nutritional value.

Finally, after back-and-forth price negotiations, the bluefin tuna was sold for nine yuan per kilogram.

The rat-spotted rat is priced at 25 yuan per kilogram.

When it was time to weigh it, there were already quite a few people gathered around.

Bluefin tuna are so rare that only deep-sea fishing boats can bring back one or two at a time, and they're always this big.

"Has a ship returned from the ocean? Such a big bluefin tuna!"

"No, I heard it was caught by a small fishing boat, not even a tin boat, but a small wooden boat."

"What? You're not kidding? A wooden boat can catch such a big bluefin tuna?"

Amidst the discussions of the onlookers, the weight of the bluefin tuna was revealed.

233 jin (165 catties). Wow... what's the difference between this and a pig ready for market?

Most importantly, this stuff is much more expensive than pork.

The rat-spotted mouse weighed 4.6 jin (approximately 2.3 catties).

The tuna sold for a total of 2097 yuan, and the grouper for 115 yuan.

The total is 2212 yuan.

After receiving the money, Yun Linhai and his men were all smiles.

This is more money than the last time I sold the Flame Orb.

However, such a large fish could only be surrounded by Yun Jiao, who is a bug in the system, by leading the orca.

For other fishermen, even if they wanted to catch them with a fishing net, it wouldn't be easy.

Especially wooden boats, with the speed and power that tuna can unleash, can drag people and boats across the sea for quite a distance until they get tired and stop.

If you're unlucky, you can really be dragged down with the ship.

Only iron boats could survive.

Therefore, catching such a large tuna still carries a significant risk.

But with so much money involved, even knowing the risks, who could resist catching such an expensive, top-quality ingredient as bluefin tuna?

"Make way, everyone make way, we need to go out for a bit."

There were so many people crowding at the entrance that Yun Linhai and his group were completely surrounded after they came out of the restaurant.

Yun Linhe frowned, a bad feeling creeping into his heart: "Why are there so many people?"

Restaurant staff also came out to disperse the crowd.

With so many people crammed together, Yun Linhai was working hard to protect the money he had earned.

Suddenly, he was bumped by someone, and the impact hit his ribs.

He was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Father, there's a thief!" Yun Jiao shouted.

"Money, my money!"

Yunlin Hai was not only in pain, but also terrified.

Just now, Yun Linhai had a bad feeling. When he reached for the place where he kept his money, he found a big tear in his clothes. It almost cut his skin.

The money in the innermost pocket of my clothes is also gone.

That's over two thousand yuan!

Yun Linhai felt a sudden darkness before his eyes.

"Go and arrest them!"

The man ran away after succeeding, and the scene instantly descended into chaos.

"Sister, Father Jiaojiao has disappeared!"

When Yun Xiaowu and the others discovered that Yun Jiao was missing, they immediately became anxious.

Upon hearing that Yun Jiao had disappeared, Yun Linhai and Yun Linhe immediately forgot about the money.

"Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao, where are you?"

"Did you see that pretty little girl so tall, wearing overalls?"

"Jiaojiao..."

The Yun family anxiously searched for Yun Jiao.

Meanwhile, Yun Jiao chased after the man who stole the money and ran out of the crowd.

Because she was small, after seeing the thief run away, she squeezed out through the gap between the adults' legs.

She recognized the thief and chased after him.

"Stop, thief! Give me back my money!"

She worked so hard to catch fish and sell them, and they dared to steal her money!

Yun Jiao was so angry that her face turned red, and she quickly chased after him with her short legs.

The thief ran very fast.

Yun Jiao chased him until they reached a quiet alley. When the thief saw that it was just a little girl chasing after him, he immediately had malicious intentions.

"You little thing, you've got some nerve. Since you've delivered yourself to my doorstep, don't blame me."

This child is so good-looking, I reckon he could fetch a good price.
