Chapter 640 Blue-lipped Abalone Pearl Oyster
"But it's not only edible, it's also very precious. Most people eat it raw, and it tastes delicious. The wealthy people in the country mentioned in the book are very fond of bluefin tuna and are willing to spend thousands, even tens of thousands, of gold just to eat its meat."
According to what she knew from her previous life, this kind of blue-lipped abalone is hard to come by. Many people want to eat it but cannot, and even if they have money they cannot buy it. It is extremely rare.
Everyone was surprised.
You Yuanlin: "Is this really edible? Ah Man, have you ever eaten it before?"
Song Chuman shook her head: "No, but I read in a book that we can try it with chickens and ducks when we go back. If they are fine, then we can eat them."
Yang Qingrui nodded: "That's true, but if Tianwailou doesn't accept this abalone, it will be our loss."
Song Chuman said, "We'll see when the time comes. In fact, the people in Tianwailou are very knowledgeable and know a lot about rare seafood."
Song Chuhuai grinned, "Sister, I'll go down again. There's still a lot down there, but I just couldn't hold my breath anymore, so I came up first."
Song Chuman: "Okay, I'll go down with you to the place we were just at."
After saying that, she poured all the seafood she found into the bucket.
"I found something good, too."
Everyone went forward to take a look out of curiosity, and saw that in addition to the seafood they had often seen before, there were actually a lot of shellfish in Song Chuman's net bag.
Moreover, the seafood seemed to be larger than what they had caught before.
Oh my god, that blue crab seems to weigh five or six kilograms each. Can blue crabs grow so big?
With such big pincers, isn’t Aman, a child, afraid of being pinched in the complex water environment?
Song Chuhuai asked, "Sister, we don't seem to have seen this seafood before."
As Song Chuman opened the shell, she said, "This is a pearl oyster. If you're lucky, a pearl will appear inside."
pearl?
Everyone's eyes lit up.
Song Chuhuai asked, "Sister, does 'pearl oyster' mean there are pearls inside the shell?"
"Yes." Not long after Song Chuman finished speaking, she opened the shell.
Unfortunately, all the pearls of this pearl oyster were hidden in the flesh, and Song Chuman tried to squeeze them out.
Seeing the white pearl inside, everyone couldn't help but move closer to the pearl oyster.
Song Chuhuai said excitedly: "Sister, there really are pearls, such beautiful pearls, such white pearls, such round pearls."
Others also spoke up:
"It's the first time I've seen a pearl come out of a shell."
"I've heard from the old folks that pearls do come from shells, but in recent years we haven't been able to catch many fish, let alone this seafood called pearl oysters."
"Now I'm rich! Pearls are very valuable. I heard that the bigger the pearl, the more valuable it is. I went to the city before and saw a rich lady lose her pearl earrings. She was so anxious, she said she had bought them with dozens of taels of silver."
"How many taels? How many pearls are on those earrings?"
"I don't know. The earrings aren't very big. I guess they can only hold two or three at most."
"What? Two or three pearls are worth dozens of taels of silver? Are these pearls more valuable than silver and gold?"
"I don't know, but I promise I heard it right."
Song Chuman took the largest pearl in her hand, then held it up to the sunlight and looked at it. "Well, it's not bad, very round. Although it's not very big, it's also very valuable."
