Chapter 235
Uncle San calmed down and continued, "Anyway, don't do such dangerous things next time!
Everyone likes money, but no matter how much money you have, it is not as important as your safety."
A Gang also nodded repeatedly, "Yes, brother, what uncle said is absolutely right.
Next time this happens, you have to notify us immediately.
It will be faster if we pry it together."
"Okay! Next time I will definitely notify you in advance." Jiang Chuan could only smile and agree.
Then he took off all the net bags on his body and began to show the spoils of this trip.
The first few net bags contained basically all black gold abalone.
And these abalones are all very big. The larger ones, fresh ones should weigh about one pound.
Even the bottom quality ones, one weighs three or four taels.
Seeing that the black gold abalone brought back by Jiang Chuan was so big, several people looked at each other in surprise, and then their faces were full of disbelief.
"Brother, why are the black gold abalones you caught so big?
We are obviously catching abalone in the nearby sea area, but the black gold abalones we found are very small, and the largest one is no more than two taels.
Even your smallest one is not as big as it." Ah Gang asked everyone's doubts in one sentence.
They are obviously catching abalone in the nearby sea area. Logically, even if Jiangchuan went to a farther place, the speed of human swimming is limited, and he should not be too far away from them.
Therefore, in the same sea area, the size difference of abalone should not be so obvious.
"Yes, Xiaochuan, your abalones are too big!
The largest ones can barely be considered three-headed abalone after drying." Uncle San was also puzzled.
The distance of the sea area should not be too far, but the size and quality of these abalones are too different.
Seeing the puzzled expressions of the crowd, Jiang Chuan shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know! Maybe the area you just went to has been plundered by fishermen from other places before.
The larger abalone may have been picked up by others, and the sea area I went to may be where other fishermen happened not to go."
Jiang Chuan could only make up a reason.
But what he said is indeed very reasonable. Black gold abalone has been very popular recently, and there must be many fishermen who come here to catch abalone. After listening, the other people nodded.
And think about it, Xiaochuan's luck has always been much better than theirs, so although he was surprised to encounter abalone of better quality, it is completely reasonable.
Then several people also started to classify the abalone according to the size of the abalone at the same time.
According to the difference in the size of the black gold abalone, this batch of abalone was divided into three categories in total.
Jiang Chuan poured out all the seafood in the net bag.
"Brother, there are lobsters this big!
And these two white conches are so beautiful, I wonder if there are pearls inside?"
"Haha!! These two pufferfish are so cute, they must be very comfortable to use as bath towels."
Looking at the various seafood, Agang and Abo were also excited.
After all, they really didn't know some of the seafood, and these seafood were relatively rare when they were fishing or working near the sea.
This was the first time they saw a new species, so they were naturally full of curiosity.
Especially these round pufferfish, they looked even more naive.
At this time, everyone also discovered the two particularly large abalones.
"Oh my God... Brother, what kind of abalone is this?
Why is it so big?
It's almost bigger than my skull..."
Agang stared at the two giant abalones with brick-red shells, and his face suddenly showed an extremely surprised look, and at the same time, he was also extremely surprised.
Abalones were indeed common to them since they were young, and they could occasionally pick up a few abalones when they went to the sea.
But this was the first time he had seen such huge abalones...
Not to mention Agang, even the old fishermen, Uncle San and Gou Fugui, were shocked and confused just by looking at the two huge abalones.
They had lived for decades, and this was the first time they had seen such large abalones.
"Xiaochuan, what kind of abalone is this?
How can it grow so big? I'm afraid it has become a spirit?" Uncle San swallowed hard, his tone obviously showing extreme surprise.
In his impression, the double-headed abalone was already a very rare thing.
But the two giant abalones in front of him looked like they should weigh more than ten pounds...
This new species was indeed completely beyond his understanding.
But it was no wonder that Uncle San was very surprised.After all, my uncle is just a fisherman in a small fishing village and has not been to far seas.
It is very normal that he does not know the California red abalone.
This rare abalone is almost impossible to appear at the dock of a small fishing village like Qinglong Village.
Gou Fugui on the side stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then said in surprise, "Xiaochuan, this should be the largest California red abalone in the world?!"
"Huh?!"
After hearing Gou Fugui's words, Jiangchuan was shocked.
He did not expect Gou Fugui to actually know this abalone.
Then he smiled and asked, "Uncle Gou, have you seen this kind of abalone before?"
"How could there be such a chance..."
Gou Fugui shook his head decisively, and then said, "Although I have spent a lot of time drifting on the sea in my life, I basically wandered around our sea area. We can't encounter such good things there.
I just saw it when I was watching videos before!
But, I heard that this kind of California red abalone only grows in the waters of California, the United States, where the water quality is extremely good. How can there be one in Yinkou?"
Jiang Chuan naturally didn't know about this kind of thing.
However, although it is California red abalone, it is not necessarily only found in California. It's just because the production there is higher and it is more well-known!
Hearing that Gou Fugui was so knowledgeable, Jiang Tao couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder, "Good, second brother, your knowledge is really extraordinary!
You even know this big thing so clearly."
Indeed, he didn't know this kind of abalone at all.
"Third brother, please stop teasing me.
If you stay at home for three to five years, lying on the bed like a corpse and browsing your phone every day, I think you will be more knowledgeable than me." Gou Fugui said awkwardly.
As soon as this was said, everyone couldn't help laughing.
"Brother, this big abalone should be very valuable, right?" A Gang asked.
After all, they went to sea to make money. He was not very interested in the information and background of this giant abalone, but was interested in its value.
"Well, it is indeed very valuable!"
Jiang Chuan nodded seriously.
Everyone's eyes were also looking at Jiang Chuan at this time.
Jiang Chuan continued, "In fact, my knowledge of California red abalone, like Uncle Gou, is from the Internet.
I have read some information about California red abalone before. Eight years ago, someone in the United States sold an eight-jin California red abalone, and the transaction price at that time was 100,000 US dollars.
And the number of California red abalone in the United States is originally large, not as scarce as here.
Things are rare and valuable, I think the price here should be higher.
And the size and weight of this larger California red abalone should be far more than eight jin.
So I think the starting price of these two California red abalones should be more than 1 million, and there is still a lot of room for price increase!"
Hearing Jiang Chuan's popular science and analysis, Uncle San and Agang's faces instantly bloomed with bright smiles.
But Adong and Abo showed extremely shocked expressions on their faces at this time.
The price of an abalone can actually exceed one million, and there is even room for price increase...
For them, 1 million is an extremely huge astronomical figure.
In the past, they would not even dare to think of such a number.
It seems that poverty really limited their imagination.
