Chapter 23 Shocked Fishermen
The fishermen around him started to talk when they heard Chen Bin's shouts.
"Li Xuan didn't go to the sea to catch dragon beard vegetables?"
"It seems that yes, I didn't see him either."
"Well, I didn't go down. My child was watching him leave on the boat."
"What did he think? This is making money."
"Don't he be interested in money?"
Fishermen don’t understand Li Xuan’s idea. It is becoming increasingly difficult to make a living at sea now, and fishery resources are becoming increasingly poor. Many times, even cheap small sea fish cannot be caught.
In the eyes of fishermen in Hailong Village, finding so many dragon beard vegetables is an opportunity, and this kind of opportunity is not often found. If you miss it, you will really miss it.
The fishermen shook their heads and stopped talking about this matter.
If they were their own kids, who would not catch so many dragon beards and go to other places to roam, they would not say that they would just be beaten up if they caught them, at least a bad word would be indispensable.
But if that person is Li Xuan, it would be better not to say it behind the scenes. Today they were able to go to the sea to catch so many dragon beard vegetables, but it was all Li Xuan's credit, and at most they were just a few ridicule in their hearts.
Just then, Li Xuan returned to Yulong Bay, and the fishing boat was docked. He quickly jumped from the boat to the unloading bridge.
"Brother Xuan."
Chen Bin immediately met him, and he said anxiously: "I heard you didn't go to catch dragon beard today?"
Li Xuan smiled and nodded, "Yes."
Chen Bin said anxiously: "Yes? Brother Xuan, do you know how much I caught this morning? More than 230 kilograms and more than 1,000 yuan."
"oh?"
Li Xuan looked at Chen Bin and couldn't help but smile and said, "I didn't realize that you are fat, you are still quite flexible."
Chen Bin couldn't be happy, "You are still in the mood to laugh. If you go and make more than 1,000 yuan, you won't go. If your father knows, you will definitely be scolded."
Li Xuan smiled and said, "My dad won't scold me even if he knows it. He'd known it a long time ago. It's too tiring to catch dragon beards, and it's enough to have you there. I went to other sea areas to see if there are more valuable catches."
Chen Bin lamented, "It is not so easy to encounter more valuable seafood. I have only caught axe fish in the past few months. All the remaining ones are cheap small sea fish, and there are few crabs."
The other fishermen around who heard Li Xuan's words also wanted to laugh, thinking that Li Xuan was innocent, was it so easy to discover the valuable fishing catch?
If you don’t fish the dragon beard vegetables, go find other seafood. Isn’t this a typical monkey picks up sesame seeds and loses watermelon?
Li Xuan pointed to the fishing boat and said with a smile: "I found it."
"Ah? What did you say?" Chen Bin looked at Li Xuan blankly.
Li Xuan smiled and said, "I'm lucky. I caught some crabs on the sea and found some goddess clams."
When Chen Bin saw the more than 100 sling crabs carried on Li Xuan's boat and the goddess clams in two large wooden barrels, he couldn't help but take a breath, "So many crabs, Brother Xuan, are they all you caught in the morning?"
Seeing that Li Xuan's face changed, some people couldn't help but maliciously speculate that these crabs wouldn't be bought by this guy in the town?
Zhao Rufeng naturally knew that Li Xuan was a realistic person. He smiled and walked over, "Xiao Xuan has been tired all morning and must be hungry. Come on, drink a bottle of milk to cushion your stomach first. These crabs are very big. Even if they are sold to a purchase boat, they can be sold for fifteen yuan each. More than one hundred yuan is only one or two thousand yuan. It is indeed more cost-effective than catching dragon beard vegetables, but what is your bucket?"
Chen Bin also noticed the goddess clams in the two wooden barrels on Li Xuan's boat. He looked disgusted and said, "Brother Xuan, what's this thing? He looks so ugly."
Li Xuan smiled and was about to explain, when an insightful fisherman suddenly exclaimed: "This is geoduck."
"Geduck?" Everyone looked at the fisherman.
The fisherman shook his head and said, "I don't know very well, but I happened to see it once outside. It was a very precious seafood, sold for a few hundred yuan per pound."
When everyone heard this, they were a little dazed.
This is such an ugly thing called geoduck, but it is so valuable?
After Zhao Rufeng was slightly lost, he looked at Li Xuan and asked, "Xiao Xuan, is this thing really worth hundreds of dollars per pound?"
Li Xuan shook his head with a smile.
Everyone was relieved and said, this thing looks like it has no appetite, how could it be worth hundreds of dollars per pound?
The fisherman with some knowledge also blushed and said a little embarrassedly: "I didn't know very well when I said it. It happened that time I saw it outside, but that time, he did sell for several hundred yuan per pound, maybe he was slaughtering customers."
Li Xuan said at this time: "Uncle Huang, the ones you saw last time must be breeding, and they are much smaller than the ones I caught. I am all wild and very large. I will never sell them if I don't have two thousand yuan per catty."
"What?" Zhao Rufeng's eyes widened.
"Two, two thousand?" Chen Bin was even more stunned.
The other fishermen also took a breath and looked at Li Xuan with disbelief.
In the market, wild goddess clams have always been priceless and in short supply. A goddess clam imported from Alaska costs at least two or three thousand yuan, and weighs only one or two kilograms.
Like most seafood, goddess clams are also larger, the higher the price. Wild goddess clams weighing two or three pounds can be sold for thousands of yuan per pound. Li Xuan does not think that these wild goddess clams weighing four or five pounds will be sold for less than two thousand yuan per pound.
After a while, Li's father poked his head out of the crowd. He asked with rapid breathing: "Xiaoxuan, what kind of goddess clam is really worth two thousand yuan per pound?"
Li Xuan smiled slightly and nodded, "The ocean is actually a huge treasure house. It is more expensive than goddess clams. It is even rare fishing catch worth tens of thousands of yuan per pound. It is really the sea."
As he said that, Li Xuan took out one from the wooden barrel and handed it to Li's father and said, "Dad, this goddess clam is rich in nutrition, delicious in meat, and tender in taste. You took this one back and let my mother cook it, and I will sell the rest."
Li's father waved his hands repeatedly, "This thing looks so ugly, it's disgusting. How can I eat it? Besides, your mother can't cook this thing, so she'll sell it all."
In fact, Li's father was not unpleasant. When he first saw these goddess clams, he was amazed that the clam meat with these clam shells actually grew so big that he had to get one to drink at night.
But after knowing the price of this goddess clam, he was reluctant to eat it. It costs nearly 10,000 yuan per piece. This is not about eating goddess clams, it is about eating his life root.
Li Xuan naturally knew what Li’s father was thinking. He smiled and said, “Dad, I caught a lot this time, with more than a dozen, so it doesn’t matter if I only eat one. The goddess clam is so amazing. Actually, I have never eaten it before. At least we can try the taste ourselves. Besides, I’m hungry now.”
