In Yulong Bay itself, many older generation fishermen have the habit of raising water retrievers.

Water retrievers can help fishermen find catches on the seabed and accomplish many things that humans cannot.

There are also a large number of animal trainers all over the world who have tamed various sea animals including dolphins, killer whales, and sea lions.

With these precedents, Li Xuan felt that even if he tamed an octopus to help him fish together, it would not be so unbelievable.

Of course, this matter cannot be rushed, it cannot be too abrupt, it must be done slowly and step by step.

Li Xuan controlled the octopus clone, dived into the rolling waves of the ocean floor, and quickly sank toward the deep sea.

Chen Bin stuck his head out to look, but could not see anything through the dark gray water. He could only see the waves rising from time to time on the sea.

"The waves on the sea are so big, there is no sound at all." Chen Bin curled his lips and retracted his head.

Li Xuan smiled and said: "The sound of the waves, do you think it is the waves hitting the rocks? Okay, stop looking and continue cleaning the catch."

The white fish was buried at the bottom of the piled catch.

After the octopus clone was carried away, a section of its fish body was exposed.

As soon as the two of them walked to the fish pile, Chen Bin's eyes lit up, he quickly raked away the fish piled on the white fish, and then shouted: "Brother Xuan, come and see, what is this fish?"

, so big.”

Li Xuan knew very well in his heart, but his face showed surprise, "It turned out to be a yellow-lipped fish."

"What?"

Chen Bin was startled, "Is this the legendary yellow-lipped fish?"

Father Li and other crew members immediately gathered around, "Yellow-lipped fish? Where is it?"

No one has ever seen yellow lip fish.

But the name of yellow-lipped fish is familiar to everyone.

If you want to rank various deep-sea treasures, make a price ranking list.

There are definitely different opinions on which seafood ranks first, and no one can give a clear number one.

But if the price of any seafood must be in the top ten of many deep-sea delicacies, then the yellow lip fish is definitely among them.

There are countless price lists for various seafood, but there is no list where the price of yellow lip fish is outside the top ten.

In the last century, yellow lip fish was still a very cheap marine fish.

At its cheapest, the price is only 40 cents per pound.

But since the 1930s and 1940s, the price of yellow-lipped fish has been rising.

From a few cents per pound.

By the 1960s and 1970s, it had risen to over a hundred yuan per pound.

In the past few years, the price per kilogram was as high as tens of thousands of yuan.

Which fisherman has never dreamed that one day he would be so lucky and catch a fish like this?

What fisherman doesn’t know the name of this fish?

On April 23, 2008, three fishing enthusiasts were fishing on the sea surface of Qingzhou Bay opposite the Kap Shui Mun Bridge in Hong Kong.

After fighting with the giant fish for 90 minutes, he caught a giant yellow lip fish called "Diamond of the Sea".

Gu Qiang

The yellow-lipped fish weighed 85 kilograms and was sold to a local boatman by the three fishing friends for less than 20,000 yuan.

Afterwards, the boat owner resold it to a seafood buyer for 580,000 yuan.

Finally, the seafood buyer resold it to one of the best hotels in the mainland at the time, the White Swan Hotel in Yangcheng, for a sky-high price of 1.31 million.

Coincidentally, on February 1, 2010, another fishing enthusiast from Xiangjiang caught a yellow-lip fish weighing 32 kilograms in the waters of Dangan Islands.

The fisherman was a foodie, so he ate the fish instead of selling it, but the swim bladder was purchased by Four Seasons, one of the top hotels in Hong Kong, for a whopping price of 300,000 Hong Kong dollars.

In August 2012, a fisherman in Zhoushan picked up a dead yellow-lip fish on the beach, weighing more than 80 kilograms, and sold it to a local fishmonger for 3 million yuan.

On May 4, 2017, a fisherman caught a 61-kilogram yellow-lipped fish in the waters bordering Fujian and Guangdong. After bidding, it was finally sold for a sky-high price of NT$16 million, which is equivalent to about NT$300.

Five hundred thousand.

Chen Bin looked at Father Li and others, pointed at the silver-white sea fish, and said blankly: "Brother Xuan said this fish is the yellow-lipped fish."

"Is this... so big!" Father Li was so excited that he stuttered.

Yang Hua looked at the dent on the fish's head and said: "This fish is dead. Judging from the wounds, the cause of death was not caused by the fishing net. It should have been preyed on by a large marine predator with an amazing bite force. The fish head

They were all chewed up."

"What a pity. It would be great if this fish were alive." Wang Lei said angrily.

Yang Hua glanced at him. In fact, what he just said was deliberately said in front of the ship's camera. If the fish was alive, there was really no way he could take it back.

Luo Hai stared at the fish with an expression as if he had seen a ghost, "It's incredible. I actually caught a yellow-lipped fish. I have only seen this fish in the news. It is said that this fish is full of treasures. One pound of fish meat can earn

It can be sold for several thousand yuan, and one piece of the swim bladder is worth millions."

Li Xuan smiled and said nothing.

In fact, according to Li Xuan's personal opinion, it is very doubtful whether the swim bladder of the yellow-lipped fish really has the legendary curative effect.

After all, the myths of so-called magical medicines such as Cordyceps sinensis and Ganoderma lucidum have been shattered one by one.

Moreover, yellow-lipped fish maw can heal wounds and relieve pain, but its efficacy in treating postpartum hemorrhage has not been scientifically verified.

The effect is questionable.

But the price is genuine.

That’s how valuable the yellow lip fish is.

"Hey, that's not right."

Chen Bin suddenly slapped his head, looked at Li Xuan and said: "Brother Xuan, although I have never seen a yellow-lipped fish, I have heard that the yellow-lipped fish has a golden appearance, like gold, and is very beautiful. How can this fish be silver?

White, you must have admitted it wrong, right?"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

Father Li also looked at Li Xuan and said nervously: "Li Xuan, I have also heard about this. Everyone is a yellow-lipped fish, which is equal to a golden fish. They are all golden and look very beautiful."

"Not all yellow-lip fish are golden in appearance. It is called white fish. You can see the scales on its body that are like ingots. It is definitely a genuine yellow-lip fish. You don't have to doubt this." Li Xuan said.

Li Xuan is the one who knows this best on the ship. Since Li Xuan has said so, others will naturally no longer doubt it.

"Li Xuan, go get me a knife." Li's father said.

Li Xuan looked at him strangely, "Dad, what do you want a knife for?"

"I took off the isinglass. The isinglass from this fish cannot be sold. You go back and hide it as a family heirloom." Father Li said firmly.

When Li Xuan heard this, he suddenly burst into laughter and said: "After removing the isinglass, the fish is no longer valuable. The price of yellow-lipped fish meat is actually only worth more than 3,000 yuan per catty. The real value is its isinglass."

, The current market price of a pound of isinglass is around two million. For such a big yellow-lipped fish, the isinglass must be a pound. For two million, I can buy a big boat. You want me to keep it as a family heirloom?"
