After handing the matter of the boat to Manager Cao, Yu Shengnan stopped thinking about it because he really couldn't help. If the boat worked, she would buy it. If not, she would have to go to the shipyard to order a new one. Maybe due to limited funds, she couldn't order a too big one, but it would still be enough for deep-sea fishing.
Yu Shengnan also has his own considerations. After the system is integrated, he can check the situation at a depth of 30 meters by himself. This is more advantageous in the near sea. In the deep sea area, 30 meters is not completely useless, but it is really not much different from not using cheats.
So Yu Shengnan wanted to expand the ship, but she was not too anxious.
Early the next morning, Yu Shengnan took Qiao Shan and Wang Qiang to buy breakfast.
I usually buy breakfast on the street, but today I went to the pier, mainly to exercise in the morning and motivate Qiao Shan to train.
Qiao Shan did not resist. Since he started fishing, he realized that his physical fitness was the worst among them.
I don't know when my childhood friend got so fit and strong. Wang Qiang and Zhao Lei always talk about how things are in the army. When they have nothing to do, they just practice boxing and kicking in the yard and have fun with Da Huang's family.
Now the only one that the Huang family is not afraid of is him. Qiao Shan also has to save face. Look at his own body. He can't bear to let you starve, so then exercise. At least you will have someone to accompany you and you won't be lonely.
There are many vendors at the dock of Jinjiang Fishing Village. After all, this is the only dock nearby that can accommodate large ships. The farther one is in Huicheng, which is a two-hour drive from here.
It doesn't feel far to drive from the Oriental Hotel to the pier for more than ten minutes, but when you run, you will find that it is four or five kilometers. Of course, you can walk on the beach and step on the soft sand, but that will lose the meaning of exercise.
"This is a king crab. Don't buy it next time. It's not tasty at all. I got fooled the first time I came here."
"This spicy snail is very common on the beach. I'll take you there next time and you'll know. I don't like the taste, but Shanzi is okay with it. He likes it as a snack."
"Spicy snails are delicious, aren't they? You just don't have the stomach for it. By the way, what kind of snail is this?"
When Qiao Shan was trying to justify himself, he found a strange stall in front of him. There were no living things in the stall, but more like some specimens or dried goods. What caught Qiao Shan's attention was a large conch shell.
Yu Shengnan was shocked when she looked over.
This conch is very big, about 18-19 cm high and 17-18 cm in diameter at its widest point. Its mouth is very large, almost round.
The shell is dark green with some white, red and brown mixed in. It looks very old. Not to mention the variety, the visual impact alone gives people a sense of historical weight.
Yu Shengnan had opened coconut snails before. Since he got it by chance, he has paid great attention to information about snails. He knows that some snails are very valuable, but he didn't recognize the one in front of him.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t know the person. Technology is very advanced nowadays. You can just take a photo and then check it on Tomato Ai Assistant.
"Boss, what kind of conch is this?" Qiao Shan was smarter than Yu Shengnan at the moment, so he asked the boss directly.
But what disappointed Qiao Shan was that the other party actually spoke English, and it was not standard English, but Yu Shengnan still understood it.
It turned out to be a foreigner. However, people at the beach get tanned, so it’s normal that I didn’t recognize him because he was also dark.
This is the shell of a luminous turban shell, which is consistent with the search result displayed on the mobile phone.
Luminous Turban
The Noctiluca turban shell is the largest marine mollusk in the family Turbanidae, belonging to the class Gastropoda, order Protogastropoda. Its shell is large, heavy, and sturdy, nearly spherical, with a conical spiral and an extremely inflated body whorl.
The Noctilucent Turbot lives on the rocky seafloor at depths of around 10 meters, feeding on algae. Its peak breeding season is spring and summer, when young individuals can often be found in coral reef caves.
What interested Yu Shengnan was that the luminous turban shell could also produce pearls, but unfortunately the one in front of her was just a shell.
The luminous turban shell is very large and has a very thick nacre. If the shell is removed to expose the nacre, it becomes a beautiful ornamental object. Various patterns can also be engraved on the shell surface, making it a precious work of art.
The shell powder of the luminous turban shell can be mixed into paint as a blending agent, making it extremely valuable. Its meat is edible. It is now listed in the National List of Key Protected Wildlife and is a Class II protected waste.
Well, seeing this, Yu Shengnan didn’t feel sorry at all, but since it was so precious, then this conch shell should be valuable.
Yu Shengnan asked the other party how much the shell cost, but the other party said he didn't want money and wanted to exchange it for food, oil and fresh water.
"How much is a shell worth? There are many people who want it," Yu Shengnan muttered to herself and glanced at his stall to see if there was anything else valuable.
"Uh, these blue rhizomes and white flowers... why do they look so familiar? Blue stems and white flowers... damn!" Yu Shengnan suddenly became excited.
"Boss, are these flowers from seeds? Or are they ornamental flowers?"
"No, handsome guest, this is a medicinal herb that can promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, reduce swelling and relieve pain. It is very effective."
After Yu Shengnan confirmed her guess, she asked him where he picked the flowers. He told her that they were on a small island in the northeast corner of Australia.
Yu Shengnan also knew the other party's identity - a tourist explorer. This kind of person has no official entry record. No wonder he didn't want money, but wanted to exchange for supplies such as water, food and oil.
Ice blue flower is one of the main ingredients for medicinal wine. It is the herb that Yu Shengnan had been trying to find out about before but could not get any information about. As for adult tiger bones and tortoise shells, he did not find them difficult to obtain. Unexpectedly, he got the information about the most important ingredients for the medicinal wine in one go.
We ordinary people are really happy today. We are really, really happy today.
With a wave of his hand, he bought the conch shell and provided the other party with 500 kilograms of rice and flour, 500 kilograms of vegetables and fruits, 20 tons of diesel, and a full tank of fresh water.
Yu Shengnan spent a total of 100,000 yuan. Qiao Shan and Wang Qiang looked at Yu Shengnan as if she were a fool.
The boss/brother who is usually very smart was fooled by just a few words?
When he returned home, Qiao Shan was still complaining to He Xinran.
"Sister-in-law, look at Brother Nan. He seems to have lost his mind. Wang Qiang and I couldn't stop him. He spent 100,000 yuan to buy a broken shell, and even a handful of grass."
Ni Yunjiao had come over long ago and took the shell of the luminous turban shell in her hand to look at it, while He Xinran stared at him with his big watery eyes.
"Don't listen to their nonsense. This is the shell of a luminous turban shell. It's very valuable. We won't lose out. The most important thing is..." Yu Shengnan waved the ice-blue plastic bag in front of her.
“Medicinal wine…”
