My deep sea fishery

Chapter 67-Pearl Mussels

Mussels are still very good.

A net bag of sea fish may be only 30 catties, but a net bag of mussels weighs more than 50 catties. It is very difficult for an ordinary person to swim back to the surface with such a large bag of mussels.

The crew member wanted to go upstream with the net bag, but could not swim at all, but persistently did not want to throw away the clam in the net bag.

After all it was his own, Xiang Yang rolled his eyes angrily, swam over and lifted the net bag and swam to the sea.

The crew member was taken aback for a moment, and when he recognized Xiang Yang through the breathing mask, he became excited, and swam underneath Xiang Yang to support the mussels, and then headed for the sea.

"Captain, thank you, thank you, I wouldn't have been able to get it if it weren't for your clam shell." The crew member on the surface said gratefully.

As long as the net bag is brought to the surface of the sea, the crew on the deck will naturally respond, but the crew who do not need to dive into the sea take the net bag to climb to the deck.

The name of the crew member who did not search for pearls on the seabed but put the mussel shells into the net bag was Wu Shiwen. He was also from Yanlong Village. He was two years older than Xiang Yang. He was very business-minded since he was a child. He has done a lot of business and is one of the few in the village. One of the villagers who bought more cars was driving Didi in the town before he went to Xiangyang’s boat.

"What are you going to do with these mussel shells?" Xiang Yang asked grimly.

In seaside fishing villages, mussel shells are also a very cheap seafood. The cheapness is even as cheap as squid. When they are caught accidentally during fishing, fishermen think they put them on the boat to occupy a place, and they want to throw them back into the sea like trash. .

Xiang Yang is really puzzled.

Because Xiang Yang knew Wu Shiwen and knew that Wu Shiwen was a very intelligent young man, he shouldn't be ignorant of how cheap mussel shells are in coastal areas. If he wants to make money, he can catch some swimming crabs.

"Captain, have you ever heard of gambling on rocks?" Wu Shiwen said with a smile.

Xiang Yang nodded, betting on the stone. Xiang Yang has heard that there are always crazy stones in the jade ore market. When the jade mine was first mined, the gods didn’t know what was in the stone. There might be nothing, but it’s not. It is denied that some raw ore actually contains top-quality jade. Over time, gambling on stones has even formed an industry, and there is even a saying that a cut in heaven and a cut in hell.

"I have opened five mussel shells on the seabed, three of which have pearls. The pearl production rate of mussel shells in this sea area is extremely high, but most of them are less than a large white pearl on a fingernail. Pearls can’t be sold for a few bucks. It’s not cost-effective to open them like this, so I want to get a batch of mussel shells back in this sea area. One hundred dollars to open a mussel shell will definitely be opened." Wu Shihao said excitedly.

Xiang Yang rejoiced, "What if a black pearl or golden pearl emerges from one of these mussels you caught?"

"What am I losing? These are all cost-free transactions. Every time I sell one I make a profit. All customers earn will become my free advertising and reputation in the future. I am anxious to buy my shells. People give out black pearls!" Wu Shiwen joked.

Xiang Yang smiled and didn't answer this. In fact, Xiang Yang has already opened dozens of mussel shells on the seabed. The most valuable thing is a milky white pearl with a diameter of 12 mm but an irregular shape. Wu Shiwen came up with this way to make money.

But Xiang Yang opened the clam shell by himself, and every time he opened the clam shell, he had a certain chance to produce black pearls and golden pearls. As long as he opened one, he would make a profit, just like drawing a card to get ssr.

"We have time. When you go down later, you will load less each time, otherwise it will be a waste of time to throw the clam shell out when the net bag is full." Xiang Yang reminded.

"Hmm."

After Xiang Yang went down to the bottom of the sea again, he was not in a hurry to open the clam shells. He thought about Wu Shiwen's words and took a good look at everyone's results.

First Xiang Yang swam to Fang Youqun and took off his net bag, and then pointed to Fang Youqun's net bag around his waist.

Fang Youqun was unclear, so he looked at Xiang Yang suspiciously.

Xiang Yang pulled open his net bag and showed the pearl in it to Fang Youqun, then pointed to the net bag around his waist to indicate that he wanted to see it.

Only then did Fang Youqun understand that Xiang Yang wanted to see his gains.

Fang Youqun, who had come to understand, immediately laughed, smiling very happily, taking off the net bag around his waist and presenting a treasure, and when he handed it to Xiang Yang, the breathing mask could not cover the smug look on his face.

When Xiang Yang saw the expression on He Fang Youqun, he thought that Fang Youqun had gained a lot, but he was disappointed after only looking at Xiang Yang.

Fang Youqun’s net pocket contains a lot of pearls, but they are all too small. Many of them are only three or four millimeters in diameter, or even a little more than two millimeters. Such a small pearl Xiang Yang will disdain it when he sees it. Just throw it back to the bottom of the sea.

Xiang Yang patted Fang Youqun's shoulder to signal him to continue, while he swam towards Uncle Xiang.

Uncle Xiang is with Zhou Wang.

Seeing Xiang Yang swimming towards this side, Uncle Xiang and Zhou Wang also swimming towards Xiang Yang.

When the three of them swam together, Uncle Xiang took the initiative to take off the net bag, poured the pearls in the net bag into his hand and showed it to Xiang Yang. At the same time, the other hand pointed at Xiang Yang’s waist and gestured to ask. "How many pearls did you find?"

There are only two pearls in Uncle Xiang's hand.One is an ordinary oval-shaped milky white pearl with a diameter of 8mm, which is probably worth more than a hundred dollars.The other is a pink pearl with a diameter of 6mm. It is round and full and exudes an exquisite jewellery. It is the top grade among pearls, and the market price must be more than 1,000 yuan.

Xiang Yang was a little surprised. It seemed that his uncle had good luck.

After seeing uncle Xiang’s pearls, Xiang Yang also showed the two of the pearls he found. There are seven pearls in total. The smallest one is 6mm in diameter, and the largest one is even 12mm in diameter. The jewels that exude almost light up this. Two people's eyes.

Uncle Xiang and Zhou Wang both gave Xiang Yang a thumbs up, their faces were full of admiration and envy.

He Mingde and Zhou Wang are also people who understand pearls. They know that some small pearls are worthless. They just threw them when they found them. They joined together and found two valuable pearls before they thought they were the best. , I thought that two pearls could just take out one value and leave the rest of them far behind. I didn't expect to encounter Xiang Yang's metamorphosis as soon as he developed a mentality of comparison.The value of each of the seven pearls is not lower than the two they found.

Xiang Yang made a gesture with Uncle Xiang and He Mingde on the bottom of the sea for a while, and figured out that the pearls on both of them were in the hands of Uncle Xiang alone, and there were only those two later Xiang Yang suddenly thoughtful.

It seems that Wu Shiwen is right that the most precious thing in this sea area rich in pearl mussels may not be pearls but pearl mussels.
