Chapter 149 Collecting Shells at the Bottom of the Sea

Arctic surf clams hide five to fifteen centimeters below the sand, requiring an iron rake to pull them out, just like the same method used when beachcombing on the shore.

Although it was troublesome, Chen Hong still enjoyed picking up Arctic clams.

Arctic surf clams are cold-water marine mollusks that can only grow in the cold waters of the North Pacific, Arctic Ocean, and North Atlantic.

Arctic surf clams from the fishing grounds of Hokkaido, Japan, live in the waters through which the Kuril Current passes, making them particularly rare.

They grow very slowly, generally taking 10 to 15 years to mature. Their long growth in cold water results in sweet and firm Arctic surf clam meat, making them excellent for sashimi.

Moreover, their clam meat is particularly beautiful, half red and half white, the strong contrast of colors is so beautiful that it makes your mouth water.

The key point is that the price of Arctic surf clams is particularly attractive, with wild Arctic surf clams selling for two to three hundred yuan per kilogram. The larger ones that Chen Hong dug up should fetch even higher prices.

Collecting shellfish can become tedious after a while. Chen Hong, who was alone on the seabed with no one else around, also started to feel bored while continuously digging in the sand.

She could only imagine that each Arctic surf clam was worth RMB, and sure enough, the power of psychological suggestion was quite significant.

Looking at the beach again, she felt as if pink banknotes were beckoning to her.

Instantly, all her frustration and exhaustion vanished, and she felt full of energy. Her depleted health bar was immediately replenished, and she felt she could keep digging at him for three days and three nights.

The feeling of finding money is just too amazing! This must be the only way in the world to get rich instantly without breaking the law!

It's even more exciting than buying and selling stocks! This job allows you to see the actual products, which makes you feel more at ease and gives you a greater sense of accomplishment!

No one knows how much time has passed. Chen Hong is like a robot lurking on the seabed of Japan, constantly waving a small iron rake and diligently digging for Arctic clams.

Even as schools of fish swam by overhead, she remained unaffected, using the vibrant underwater scenery as a backdrop for her work.

Perhaps it's because there are so many stonefish in this seabed area, and the seabed resources are so abundant that it seems no one has ever mined here before.

The place is overflowing with top-quality seafood; it's so satisfying to collect it all.

Looking at the beautiful coral reef in the distance, the swarms of fish, their vibrant and dazzling colors, were incredibly tempting, their plump bodies all enticing Chen Hong.

There are many red sea bream in this area. Their red bodies and schools of them swim among the coral reefs, like flames burning in the azure water.

There are many varieties of shrimp and crabs here, including many that Chen Hong has never seen before, regardless of what kind they are.

As long as they were big enough and plump, except for those with overly bright colors, Chen Hong put them all into her space.

It doesn't matter if I don't recognize them myself; if I bring them back, people in the food industry like Zhang Baiqiang should recognize them.

Aside from a few special varieties, I haven't heard of any other shrimp or crabs that are inedible.

Although they look very different, I've heard that the more unusual the seafood looks, the more delicious it is!

Chen Hong continued digging until night fell and the seabed was pitch black before she finally stopped.

She was exhausted after digging in the sand all day, but she was so excited about collecting seafood that she forgot to eat lunch!

Chen Hong was deeply awestruck by the sight of the underwater nightscape, not knowing what time it was.

I thought the seabed would be silent after dark, but I never expected that the underwater world at night would be so beautiful and spectacular, unlike anything I'd seen during the day.

Various fish, aquatic plants, and corals that are inconspicuous during the day emit various colors of light under the dark night.

Some look like a small orange nightlight by the bedside; some look like fireflies in a summer field; some look like a lantern moving across the wilderness.

Some resemble the headlamps worn by miners underground; others look like the flashing neon lights on city streets, colorful and dazzling!

In the pitch-black seabed, even a tiny glimmer of light can illuminate a small area, and these small lights combine to create a beautiful and mesmerizing underwater night scene.

Only a very small number of fish rest at night; the vast majority of fish simply slow down their swimming pace, swimming and resting in the dark waters.

Some night warriors, however, would ambush their prey at this time, such as moray eels, shrimp, crabs, and shellfish.

Even the long ribbonfish seemed to have woken up, swimming quickly to catch food and fill their stomachs that had been empty all day.

It turns out that there are so many nocturnal predators who, under the cover of darkness, have begun their hunting expeditions.

It is true that all things in nature have their own unique ways of surviving.

Chen Hong watched the marine animals' night raid quietly for a while. As she watched with great interest and admiration, her stomach started rumbling.

She then remembered that she should go back to her space to eat and rest. A thousand flowers can be dazzling, and so can a thousand fish.
