Just as Bai Yu was carrying his things toward the stern of the boat, he heard the chirping sound again.
He recognized that sound all too well. The culprit that had drenched him with seawater and startled him tonight, and who had eaten his spoils, also made that sound – it was an orca!
The orcas are back again, and now both a large and a small one have appeared, floating on the surface of the sea, looking at Bai Yu and Wang Hai with their dark eyes.
"Ahai, what's going on? Why are they out here? What are they up to?"
Bai Yu brought the barbecue to Wang Hai's side, and the latter immediately took a chicken leg from the plate and started eating it.
"Mmm, Brother Yu's grilled chicken legs are still the best! As for these two orcas, who knows what they're up to? They can't be looking for barbecue, can they?"
'Chirp chirp'
The moment Wang Hai uttered the words "barbecue," the giant killer whale on the sea let out two chirps. Whether it was a coincidence or the whale truly understood, it was hard to tell.
This scene piqued Bai Yu's curiosity, so he immediately took the remaining skewer of chicken legs and went to the side of the boat, waving it at the orca.
Wang Hai: ? ? ? Didn't we agree that both chicken legs were mine? Oh well, there are still beef skewers here.
"Hey, big guy, you want some barbecue? But what I'm grilling here is a chicken leg, can you eat that? Or how about I grill some fish for you?"
If you understand, just call out twice, and I'll grill it for you.
'Chirp chirp'
As soon as Bai Yu finished shouting, the giant killer whale responded, and its meaning was very clear: it wanted to eat!
Bai Yu's focus, however, was not on that; rather, he was astonished that orcas could actually understand human speech.
Although research suggests that orcas have very high intelligence, high intelligence does not equate to being able to understand human speech.
However, the giant killer whale in front of him could understand Bai Yu's speech. He asked the whale to call out twice, and it actually did call out twice.
Although Bai Yu had been tricked by this guy a few times before, being splashed with water and scared, Bai Yu still had a very high level of affection for the orca.
This isn't to say that Bai Yu has a masochistic fetish. The main point is that you can't say that the orca did what happened before on purpose. Even if it did, it just wanted He Bai Yu and the others to play with it.
To Bai Yu, the orca was just a child, at most a naughty child.
However, with his good looks and status, this mischievous kid isn't so annoying; in fact, he's kind of cute.
Indeed, the saying "beauty is justice" is absolutely true!
"Hey big guy, wait here. I'll go get you some grilled fish. Do you want some seasoning? Can you handle the spicy kind? If not, I'll just get you the plain kind."
'Chirp chirp'
Having received a response from the orca, Bai Yu immediately placed the chicken leg in his hand into Wang Hai's hand. Then, he quickly went to the bow of the boat, took an iron plate from beside the barbecue grill, and collected all the grilled fish slices from the grill.
These are all slices of beef carp that he cut, each about an inch thick. He grilled about three or four pounds of fish slices at a time.
Then he didn't keep a single piece; he plated them all up to give to the orcas.
As for the empty barbecue grill?
They continued to add fish slices and grill them. But these three or four pounds of fish slices were hardly enough for those two orcas; they wouldn't even fill their teeth.
When Bai Yu returned with the grilled fish slices, the two orcas were still floating on the surface of the sea, stretching out their big heads and waiting.
They've now moved to the side of the fishing boat, making it easier to eat the grilled fish that Bai Yu has given them.
"Ah Hai, have you reeled in the fishing line yet? Don't let these two guys tangle our fishing line again."
Before feeding the fish, Bai Yu asked about the condition of their fishing rods.
With those two orcas floating on the surface of the sea, fishing was out of the question. In order to avoid their fishing lines getting caught on the orcas and causing losses, they should reel in their lines now.
After all, these two orcas are both enormous, weighing in tons. Even the smaller one would weigh nearly a ton. If a fishing hook were to hook either of them...
Forget about fishing it up; you'll either have to break the line yourself or let the orca snap it.
Of course, this kind of thing is unlikely to happen. Orcas are no joke when it comes to defense; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to treat great white sharks like toys.
As for getting an orca to bite the hook, that's ridiculous. The bait Bai Yu and his crew used was a sea shrimp, and they only had one.
Are orcas crazy to bite a hook just for a shrimp? They don't even have enough to eat to fuel their own consumption.
Although the chances of catching an orca are slim, Bai Yu still planned to have Wang Hai reel in the fishing rod.
Before Bai Yu even mentioned it, Wang Hai had already reeled in his fishing rod. When he saw the killer whale, Wang Hai knew he could stop fishing. With those two around, they couldn't fish anymore.
Bai Yu then fed the two orcas the grilled fish slices he had brought. The fish slices weighed three or four pounds, but after grilling, only a little over two pounds remained. The larger orca ate about one and a half pounds, and the smaller orca ate about one pound.
Just as Bai Yu had predicted, these fish fillets were hardly enough to fill the gaps between the teeth of the two orcas, whose teeth were much larger than the fish fillets.
"Stop looking, stop looking, I don't have any left. I only have one bullhead tuna left. You ate the first one, so I can't do anything about it!"
There are at most seven or eight pounds of grilled fish fillets left. They'll be ready soon and I can feed them to you. Once they're gone, that's it."
The bull mackerel that Bai Yu used to make grilled fish fillets weighed only a little over ten pounds. After removing the head, internal organs, and bones, and grilling away a certain amount of moisture, the final grilled fish fillets would weigh about seven or eight pounds, which would be considered good.
After feeding them all the grilled fish slices, the two orcas had nothing left to eat.
What? You mean we can't grill another one for them?
Please, because of these two big guys, fishing is already difficult for them, and everyone's catch is very limited.
If Bai Yu had caught anything else, he could have grilled it for the two orcas, but he didn't. He only caught two fish in total. The first one had already been eaten by the big orca, and the second one was already being grilled.
As for Wang Hai, they need to eat their own sea wolf fish; they can't just give it all to the orca.
Faced with these meager pieces of grilled fish that could only be used to fill their teeth, the two orcas, one large and one small, cried out in dissatisfaction, looking exactly like children who hadn't had enough to eat.
"Stop yelling, you two. It's no use yelling anymore. This is the only bullhead tuna I have left to grill. Once it's grilled, it's gone."
It's not that I don't want to give you any, it's just that we really don't have any left. If you want some, you can catch some yourselves, and I'll grill it for you.
Bai Yu looked at the two orcas that were making a lot of noise and made them a request that seemed impossible to fulfill.
"Brother Yu, why don't you let them catch their own fish and then you grill them for them? If they can catch the fish themselves, they'll eat them themselves. Why would we need to grill them for them?"
"I know, I'm just making up an excuse for myself! Hey, Ah Hai, look! Those two orcas really left. Could they really have gone to catch fish?"
Just as Bai Yu and Wang Hai were chatting, the two orcas dove and disappeared. No one knew if they had gone to catch fish.
Bai Yu and Wang Hai, who were on the deck, stared blankly at the sea, remaining silent.
Of course, this state didn't last long. Soon, Bai Yu walked back to the bow of the boat to check on the remaining grilled fish slices.
In the short time it took for Bai Yu to go back and forth, the other people on the boat were very curious about where Bai Yu had taken the barbecue from the stern. How long had it been since he brought back two empty plates?
After all, there was quite a lot of grilled fish fillets in the last batch, and the beef tuna was a bit dry after grilling, so it would be difficult to finish two pounds of stir-fried fish fillets in a short time.
Then a fan asked a question, and Bai Yu responded, and the entire fishing boat erupted in excitement.
Although they came out to sea to fish, they were very satisfied with encountering two killer whales and felt that their trip was well worth it.
Now Bai Yu tells them that they can also feed killer whales, and that the killer whales will be right next to the fishing boat, feeding them at close range.
This isn't a question of whether it's worth it or not; it's that these people would be willing to spend money on it.
After all, this is an orca. If you want to see an orca normally, you have to go to an aquarium and buy a ticket. And those orcas are domesticated and you can't get close to them. The closest one you can get is about ten meters away.
Forget about feeding them; that's the zookeeper's job.
Things are different now. Now they have the opportunity to get up close and feed orcas, and wild ones at that. This opportunity is truly rare.
Just as they were about to take their catch to feed the orcas, Bai Yu's words brought them back to reality.
That means the orcas have disappeared. If they come back, Bai Yu will inform them. Also, the orcas are a bit picky eaters now; they prefer grilled fish.
Orcas that love grilled fish?
Fans said they had never seen it before, but expressed their understanding, since barbecue is such a delicious food, how could anyone or any animal not like to eat it?
The reason they didn't eat before was because they couldn't use fire, let alone marine creatures like killer whales.
Now that they've been exposed to barbecue, it seems quite normal for them to fall in love with it.
Just then, Wang Hai's shout came from the stern of the boat. Upon hearing this, Bai Yu handed the barbecue grill to Liu Zhuo and asked him to watch over the fire. Then, she quickly walked towards the stern of the boat.
