My deep sea fishery

Chapter 144 Emperor Jin Bao

A group of crew members followed Chen Qingsheng to the bottom of the sea, and followed Chen Qingsheng into a huge seaweed forest.

When Xiang Yang saw it, he nodded slightly in his heart. No wonder he didn't find the abalone but Chen Qingsheng discovered it first. It turned out to be hiding in this seaweed bush.

Abalones like to live among seaweeds. This is related to the habits of abalones. They are timid and fearful by nature. During the day, they usually hide in reef crevices or rock caves where seaweed grows and stay motionless. Look for seaweed and some non-aggressive plankton as food.

Before Xiang Yang did not expect that there would be abalone in this seaweed forest, so he did not deliberately search for it.

Now that he knew it this time, Xiang Yang naturally looked around carefully.

Taking advantage of his eyesight, Xiang Yang is like a human infrared scanner. Soon he found a brown patch on the surface between two reefs in a seaweed cluster, and the overall shape is a bit like a human ear. There is also a row of large abalones with small holes on the shell.

"Found it." Xiang Yang was happy, and immediately swam in that direction.

Chen Qingsheng noticed that Xiang Yang had left. He wanted to say that the place where he found the abalone was not here. However, he couldn't make a sound in the water and couldn't watch Xiang Yang leave. He immediately became anxious.

Soon, Xiang Yang unscrewed a slap-sized natural abalone from between the two reefs. This abalone was no smaller than the one discovered by Chen Qingsheng. At first glance, he knew that it was also a three-headed abalone, among seafood. Treasures.

Chen Qingsheng's eyes were straight. He has been watching Xiang Yang since Xiang Yang left the team. When he saw Xiang Yang leaving the team, he swam exactly between the two rocks and twisted an abalone from it. , If someone told Chen Qingsheng at this time that it was luck, he would not believe him.

But the distance from the starting point of Xiangyang to the spot where the abalone was caught was more than 20 meters. Under the dim light of the water, the abalone hiding in the bottom of the reef can be seen clearly with 20 meters away?

What international joke is this?

Let alone the bottom of such a small thing, you can't see it clearly on the road.

Xiang Yang looked at the big abalone in his hand and was also a little excited. He didn't expect to find an abalone just after coming down, and it was three-headed.

Xiang Yang is not going to sell this abalone. He is going to take this three-headed abalone home to his parents and taste it.

If it’s a single-headed abalone or a double-headed abalone, Xiangyang may still have a pain, but the three-headed abalone won’t. With Xiang Yang’s current worth, let alone catch it himself, even if he occasionally eats a three-headed abalone Also affordable.

Although Xiang Yang has never tasted the taste of abalone, he has heard of it for a long time. As early as two thousand years ago, the ancients who loved food began to explore abalone and made a variety of delicious dishes.

Emperor Wei Wu in the Three Kingdoms period admired the abalone even more, and Su Shi, a "foodie" in the Northern Song Dynasty, was also a loyal fan of abalone.

The most commonly recognized abalone on the market is the abalone with a dark green shell with reddish brown. It is a northern subspecies of the black abalone. The shell is generally 8-15 cm long. It is now widely cultivated. The yield is huge. The "little abalone" that everyone usually eats is of this quality. If you count on the head, the dried abalone is usually out of 100 heads.

It is worth mentioning that the number of "heads" of abalone is not the weight of the water, it refers to the weight of pure dry abalone. There are often some unscrupulous merchants on the market who take advantage of consumers' ignorance and regard the weight of live abalone as the number of abalone heads. Make huge profits.

Some friends who have eaten abalone may ask, the weight of dried abalone is not low, so it may be more than a hundred?

This is because the common abalones currently on the market in our country are wrinkled abalones. This kind of abalone is medium in size and only grows about 3 cm in a year. It is too risky to raise it for two years, and it is not worth the food for three years. It is seldom used to make dried abalone, and it is basically made into sugar heart abalone.

The cheaper dry abalone is the imported black abalone, the price ranges from several thousand yuan to tens of thousands of yuan, and the more expensive one is the imported net abalone, the price ranges from tens of thousands to more than one hundred thousand yuan. In other words, our country itself Originally, large abalones were not produced, and almost all people who wanted to eat large abalone depended on foreign imports.

Of course, things are not absolute.

Our country also has a world-famous abalone named Huang Jin Bao. It is a kind of "identified abalone" that condenses scientific research wisdom, and its cultivation conditions are harsh.

Each seedling of the golden abalone is bred after thousands of selections, scientifically fed natural seaweed, and the water quality of the whole logistics network is tested. Only in this way can the survival rate of the golden abalone reach 25%.

Royal abalone is also known as the "high, rich and handsome" in the abalone farming world. The price is even comparable to that of natural abalone. There are two types of fresh abalone and dried abalone. Fresh golden abalone is two to three times the size of ordinary abalone. And it is rich in collagen, the meat is firm and delicate.

Most of the commodities on the market have fakes, but the emperor golden abalone does not, because each emperor golden abalone has its own ID card, which is a real ID card. The growth cycle of the Emperor Jin Bao will not be cancelled until the death of the Emperor Jin Bao, and its safety can be traced to the birth of the Emperor Jin Bao.

The dried abalone of Royal Golden Abalone is made by a complex process. It is also called Huangjin Dry. It uses fresh golden abalone as raw material and uses an original hot-steaming technology to improve the quality of the abalone itself while shortening the storage. time.

Of course, there are also Sugar Heart King Abalone.

"Heart-stained" King Golden Abalone is selected from dried abalone rich in collagen, boiled in the broth over low heat for a long time, simmered slowly until the center of the abalone meat is in a semi-condensed "heart-strained" state, and there is a little sticky tooth between the flexible entrance In the past, there was a very popular documentary called Tip of the Tongue. The food consultant Zhang Xinmin, the tip of the tongue, was obsessed with the wonderful taste and was full of praise.

Of course, even if the abalone is no longer just a special offering for the imperial aristocracy, its expensive price can discourage ordinary diners. Ordinary people simply can’t afford to enjoy the ultimate taste just by looking at the price. idea.Whether it is dried abalone or fresh abalone, royal golden abalone is outrageously expensive.

Xiang Yang didn’t know the existence of abalones like Emperor Golden Abalone, and even if he knew it, he wouldn’t care, because compared with Emperor Golden Abalone, natural abalone is the essence of the ocean that dazzles the world with the sun and the moon. Even if the Emperor Golden Abalone of the same size takes ten Xiang Yang would not be willing to exchange a natural abalone.

Putting the natural abalone into the net bag, Xiang Yang was quite excited to swim back to the crew.

Xiang Yang gestured with both hands to signal Chen Qingsheng not to continue leading the way.

According to Xiang Yang, since an abalone has been found nearby, there is no need to go to other places to look for abalone. Just use this as the center and spread out to find abalone.
