Rushing to the sea: I can see the prompts

Chapter 67: Does it look good and can be eaten?
Zhu Weiguang and Fang Yuan were having fun.

Zhang Yaohua saw that they did not run far away, so he ignored them.From the beginning, I didn't expect them to be of much help, knowing that they were just here to play.

The two of them got another piece of clam onto the boat.

"Look what I picked up." Shui Wang immediately showed off.

I saw him take out a white pearl, estimated to be 15 mm in diameter.

Zhang Yaohua looked at what he picked up, not far from the clam.

As we all know, pearls are also one of the organic gemstones, somewhat similar to clams.

However, there are so many cultured pearls now, which results in the price of pearls being generally low, especially white pearls. Wholesale pearls are weighed by the pound, which is slightly more expensive than plastic.

Zhang Yaohua said: "This is a natural pearl. With this size, I'm afraid it won't be cheap."

As far as he knows, generally pearls below 6 mm are not included in the category of jewelry-grade pearls. 7-9 mm are generally favored by consumers. Pearls of 10 mm are already rare. Pearls above 12 mm are relatively rare and the price expensive.

Hearing Brother Hua say this, Shui Wang became even more proud.

"How much is it worth?" Zhang Yaowei was curious.

Everyone looked at Zhang Yaohua.

Zhang Yaohua shook his head: "I don't know. I'll ask the people in the antique shop when I get back."

Later, Zhang Yaowei and Ah Hui also tried to go for a stroll. The two caught several large swimming crabs, several fist-sized conches, and a large lobster on the seabed.

Zhu Weiguang and Fang Yuan were almost done playing.

Fang Yuan picked up two sea cucumbers and a sea anemone.

Zhang Yaowei said depressedly: "Why did you pick up the sea anemone?"

He can't keep up with this guy's thinking.

Sea cucumbers can understand. After all, sea cucumbers are not cheap. The national football team has to eat several kilograms every day. If you don't eat sea cucumbers, you are not qualified to join the national football team.

But what is the use of sea anemones?

This thing looks like a flower on the seabed. It looks very beautiful, but it is actually a predatory animal. Its dozens of tentacles have special stinging cells that can release toxins.

They have no skeleton and are anchored to fixed objects on the seafloor, such as rocks and coral, or to the shell of a hermit crab.

"Don't you think it looks good?"

Zhang Yaowei: "What's the point of looking good? Can it be eaten?"

Sea anemones secrete toxins and should not be eaten under normal circumstances.Of course, for some people, it can still be eaten after processing.

You know, pufferfish is also poisonous, so why don’t some people eat it?Still flocking to it.

Many mushrooms are also poisonous, but Yunnan people still enjoy them every year. They eat them again just after leaving the hospital. People from other provinces cannot understand their happiness at all.

Zhu Weiguang and Fang Yuan smiled and did not explain much.

They are all people who have achieved financial freedom. Making money is not their purpose, the main thing is to enjoy life.Then, it doesn't matter to them whether it can be eaten or whether it is worth the money.

"Where's that pearl? Show it to us." Zhu Weiguang said to Shui Wang.

The pearl was in Ah Hui's hand. Ah Hui took it out and handed it to Zhu Weiguang.

Zhu Weiguang took over and admired it. Although he was not a treasure appraiser, he could tell the quality of the jewelry.He basically knew the color, shape, and size.

"Yeah! It's pretty good. Do you want to change hands?" he asked.

Shui Wang was stunned: "How much do you pay?"

As long as the money is available, there is no reason not to sell.There is no such word as "not for sale" here. "You also know that white pearls are the most common and have the lowest value. Even if they are natural, they cost a few thousand yuan. This one of yours is of good quality, color and size. I will pay you 7000 yuan."

In fact, the price is even slightly higher.If Shui Wang took it to a jewelry store and sold it, it wouldn't be able to sell for this price.

Today's pearl market is generally not good. A single pearl can cost more than [-] yuan. Only the best black pearls and gold pearls can do that.After being designed by a jewelry company and made into jewelry, the value will increase several times and can be sold for tens of thousands of yuan.

If it were during the two years when the hype was the hottest, a pearl of this color and size might even be worth over [-] yuan.

Shui Wang looked towards Zhang Yaohua, hoping that Brother Hua would give him some advice.

Although Zhang Yaohua is not a professional, he has at least checked the information.At present, the price of pearls is indeed average. Even if they are produced in Nanyang, they only cost a few thousand yuan at most.

He actually discovered this pearl and deliberately didn't pick it up, letting others drink the soup.

If it were Melo Pearl, Zhang Yaohua would pick it up without hesitation.

Meile beads are also called "dragon beads" or "flame beads". They are round in shape and come from the body of conches. They cannot be cultivated artificially, so they are relatively precious.

Its composition is similar to that of most shellfish, including aggregates of calcite and aragonite microcrystals. Its colors range from orange-red, orange, yellow, yellowish-brown to nearly white. It has the crystal-clear appearance of ceramics, flame pattern structure, and its shape ranges from irregular, oval to There are egg shapes, and round ones are usually more valuable.

It is said that it is extremely difficult to produce the rare and precious Merlot beads. The chance of finding them from conch is one in a few thousand, and the chance of being able to completely mine them into larger sizes and high quality is even lower.

Therefore, a Merlot bead weighing more than 5 grams is worth more than 10 yuan.

A 100.4-gram Merlot pearl was auctioned on Hong Kong Island and sold for US$270 million.

Can this be spared?
Zhang Yaohua nodded slightly towards Shui Wang.

Seeing Brother Hua nodding, Shui Wang agreed: "Okay, thank you Brother Guang."

Zhu Weiguang waved his hand, not worried, it was just a few thousand yuan.

As for Zhang Yaohua's two clams, the two of them just looked at them without thinking about them.

On the one hand, it is because the clams need to be carved and it is troublesome to buy them back; on the other hand, they do not understand the market situation of the clams. It does not matter if they pay a little higher, but they are afraid that if they pay a lower price, everyone will be embarrassed.

The fishing boat continued to move forward, casting three nets during the process, but only caught some marine debris.

"This is no good luck!" Fang Yuan said half-jokingly.

After running for so long, it was somewhat boring.

Zhang Yaohua shrugged: "If I want to reap something every time I ask to cast the net, am I still a human being?"

Fang Yuan thought for a while and nodded: "That's true."

“Let’s try again in the next three to five kilometers!”

Zhang Yaowei is very calm, as steady as an old dog.

The fishing boat advanced for almost five kilometers and the fishing net was lowered into the sea again.

This time, before it was time to close the net, everyone knew that something would be harvested.Standing on the boat, they could vaguely see the school of fish below, but they just couldn't tell what kind of fish they were.

When the fishing nets were put away, they finally saw the true face of the sea fish.

"It's black snapper, oh wow! There's also red snapper." Fang Yuan was surprised.

This is the gargi fish, also called red sea bream. According to the different colors of the fish scales, it is divided into black sea bream and red sea bream.This kind of fish is familiar to sea fishermen, but it is a bit rare to catch so many of it.

Red snapper is much more expensive than real snapper.

Generally speaking, adult red sea bream rarely gather in groups.

On the other boat, Shui Wang and the others were also collecting fish at a faster pace. The three nets in front made them quite depressed.
