Chapter 142 Conch Pearl



Chapter 142 Conch Pearl

The fishing boat was about to set sail, and Ye Yuan habitually used his perception to scan the bottom of this sea area. What surprised Ye Yuan was that there were countless conchs in this bottom.

At first Ye Yuan didn't pay much attention to these, but when Ye Yuan was about to withdraw his perception, he found a conch pearl in a dead conch, which made Ye Yuan couldn't believe his perception.

You can't be so lucky, can you?Just picked up a few shark corpses, and immediately picked up conch beads in the same place?

You should know that conch pearls are very rare pearls.

Conch beads are a rare and expensive natural jewelry.

Its uniqueness lies in its bright and clean surface, which contains a unique and bright flame. Another feature is that the pearl does not grow in the body of the clam, but slowly forms in the body of the conch.

It takes about 50000 conch shells to get one usable conch pearl, out of only 2000-3000 conch pearls found each year.

Only 20%-30% of conch pearls can be used for jewelry processing.In other words, only about 600 conch pearls can be made into jewelry worldwide every year.

Of course Ye Yuan couldn't miss such a precious thing, he ordered the crew to stay on board and go to the sea to see it by himself.

After speaking, Ye Yuan frightened the sea directly, and the crew members worried that Ye Yuan was in danger, after all, there is still a lot of shark blood in this sea area.

But no one thought that Ye Yuan would scare the sea so quickly, everyone had to take out their spear guns and stand on guard on the boat, if they really found sharks, they could disperse them.

Ye Yuan came to the place where the conch pearl was found, and directly picked up the found conch pearl.Put it in the space at will.

Then he used his perception to search for the conch shells under this seabed.

It can be said that the conch here cannot be measured by quantity.

That's because there are too many conch here.

There was no end in sight at a glance, Ye Yuan searched for a long time before he found another conch pearl in the corpse of another conch.

Ye Yuan was very satisfied with finding two conch shells, he conveniently filled a net full of conch shells, and then returned to the boat.

Seeing Ye Yuan come back, the crew felt relieved.

When everyone saw Ye Yuan coming up with a net of conch, everyone had weird expressions on their faces.

It's not that the conch is bad, but because the price of this thing is really affordable.So there are very few fishing boats dedicated to catching it.

Ye Yuan also knew what everyone was thinking, hehe said:
"It's nothing, I went down to see what's there, but I didn't find anything else, so I grabbed a bag of this"

As he spoke, he handed the net bag to Gong Hongzhuang.

"Take it and do it, this thing is still good."

"Okay, I'll make a few more catties of shark meat later, the boss likes my skills"

Gong Hongzhuang didn't care why Ye Yuan went down, anyway, he was only responsible for cooking.

After speaking, he took the net bag from Ye Yuan's hand, and hurriedly went back to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

While sailing, the fishing boat had cast its trawl net into the sea and started its first sea fishing in the Indian Ocean.

Ye Yuan returned to the room, first took out the 2 conch beads found under the seabed, maybe Ye Yuan was lucky today, the 2 conch beads were round, not irregular.

Ye Yuan liked the 2 conch beads very much, just now at the bottom of the sea because of time, Ye Yuan didn't watch carefully.

At this time, there is time to appreciate the rare treasure.

I saw that the patterns on the surface of these two conch beads were like bright flames.

This kind of flame is not only obvious from the outside, but sometimes it is delicate and soft, sometimes it is passionate and unrestrained, and it looks extremely noble.

After playing with it for a while, Ye Yuan put away the 2 conch pearls in his hand, seeing that it was already lunch time, Ye Yuan came to the restaurant.
At this time, Gong Hongzhuang had already prepared his lunch. Looking at the table, which was full of seafood, with a plate of fried vegetables in the middle, Ye Yuan could not help but smile wryly.

On land, such a table of dishes can be regarded as luxurious, but on the sea, the most indispensable thing is seafood, but vegetables and fruits are the most precious ingredients.

This is because there are few people on Ye Yuan's boat, and the fishing boat is still big, so that the crew can have food for every meal. It is not bad for an ordinary fishing boat to eat one meal a day.

Looking at the deep-fried shark meat, Ye Yuan still shook his head helplessly, these guys still do this after all.

At this time, the crew entered the restaurant one after another, and everyone found their own fixed position to sit down and wait for the meal.

Yu Hongbo was the last one to enter the restaurant, and seeing Ye Yuan was there, he nodded towards him.

Then clap your hands a few times to catch everyone's attention.

"Everyone, eat faster. The fishing net has been cast down for 2 hours. After eating, let's set up the net, speed, speed."

After saying this, I also found a place to sit down and began to eat with big mouthfuls.

Ye Yuan usually eats with these crew members, but he has never seen them eat so fast.

After Yu Hongbo finished speaking, the speed at which everyone devoured it was really due to their background as soldiers.

Before Ye Yuan had eaten half of the rice, all the crew members had already started to get up and walk towards the deck.

Seeing this situation, Ye Yuan also accelerated his eating speed, put all the remaining rice into his mouth in a few mouthfuls, took a random mouthful of vegetables, and followed the crew members out.

Ye Yuan also wanted to see the situation of his first catch in the Indian Ocean.

When Ye Yuan came to the deck, the mixer had already started to break, and with the rotation of the mixer, desire was rising towards the sea surface.

Ye Yuan didn't use his perception to detect the bottom of the sea, after all, the fishing nets will come up soon, there's no need to waste his mental power.

As the fishing net was hoisted above the deck by the crane, everyone has seen a large bag full of fish hovering on the deck.

All the crew put on their gloves and were ready to start sorting the fish.

Wearing gloves is one of the necessary work procedures for the crew. After all, there are many poisonous creatures in the sea, and it is a very troublesome thing to be accidentally injured by these creatures.

As the bottom rope was pulled out, a large bag of fish was piled up on the deck like a hill. This bag of fish was mainly octopus, mixed with some sea crabs and miscellaneous fish.

Octopus is one of the most common seafood in the ocean. Octopus is just a general term. If it is subdivided, there are as many as 256 species.

The octopuses that Ye Yuan and the others caught this time, the largest was more than 1 meter long, and the smallest was 30 centimeters, which was not bad, and it was worth a thousand catties by visual inspection.

The crew began to sort the octopus at this time, and put them into different plastic baskets according to the size of the octopus, which is conducive to the selling price when disembarking.

After all, octopuses of different sizes are not the same in terms of price and convenience.

Take some of the smaller ones back into the sea.

Seeing the skillful sorting by the crew, Ye Yuan was very relieved, after all, these retired soldiers who have only gone to sea with him a few times already look like fishermen.
