Chapter 160: Fishing for Pearls

Ye Yuan was still very happy. After all, it was very convenient for brothers to get together when they had nothing to do.

It can be said that Ye Yuan is very familiar with his own sea area. There is a batch of pearl oysters in the sea area 100 nautical miles away from Yuwan Island. It was not that Ye Yuan did not want to catch it before, but he felt that the time was not right yet.

Ye Yuan didn't have much contact with the Zhao Chuan family before. Now that Zhao Chuan is working alone, as a brother, of course he has to help.

Not only pearls, but I will also pay more attention to jewelry, gemstones and other things when I go to sea in the future.

Don’t forget that the ocean is not only a paradise for fish, but also the origin of some gemstones. Don’t think that diamonds are only found in black states, diamonds can also be produced in the ocean.

Facing the slight sea breeze, Ye Yuan and Ding Yi drove the "Water Control" on the sea. After Ye Yuan told Ding Yi the coordinates in his impression, he came to the deck alone.

Finding a chair, Ye Yuan admired the scenery on the sea while sensing the depth of the sea and enjoying the beautiful scenery under the sea.

Ye Yuan was obsessed with this feeling. Two different pictures appeared in his mind at the same time. At first, Ye Yuan was not used to this feeling.

But as his perception ability strengthened, Ye Yuan gradually became obsessed with this feeling.

This is a visual feast that cannot be described in words, but it also brings new senses to people.

The "Water Control" drove for more than 2 hours and finally arrived at the sea area where Ye Yuan found pearl oysters before. This area is far away from the mainland and can be considered as a distant sea.

Ye Yuan felt that he had gone deep into the seabed, and the water here was only more than 40 meters deep.

The shellfish resources here are very rich, not only the common white butterfly oysters, Hepu oysters, Xie's pearl oysters, Ye Yuan also found several golden-lipped oysters among the many shellfish.

You must know that the golden-lipped oyster is the pearl oyster that produces golden pearls.

Although the output of that thing is very low, the price is also very high. Ordinary pearls cost more than one pearl, but golden pearls cost per gram.

The output of golden pearls in the world is very small. It is said that the annual output of Quanlan Star is less than 100 kilograms, and the price reaches 5,000 Chinese national dollars per gram.

Ye Yuan asked Ding Yi to park the boat here. Because only Ding Yi and himself were on board, Ye Yuan did not bring any diving equipment and jumped directly into the sea.

Ye Yuan came to the bottom of the sea and found that there were more shellfish here than he thought. Perhaps it was because there were many reefs here that were not suitable for bottom trawling.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many shellfish living on the seabed at this distance.

Don't underestimate the fishing ability of fishermen. It can be said that as long as it is in China's waters, there is almost no place where large fish can be caught that fishermen have not been to.

Especially for experienced fishermen, with the birth of the Juehu net, it can be said to have brought a devastating blow to marine fish.

Ye Yuan did not intend to catch all the pearl oysters here. He only found some dead shellfish and some precious shellfish to salvage.

Even so, Ye Yuan caught a full net bag in just a few minutes.

Ye Yuan did not go back to the ship directly. After all, it would be a waste of time to get up and down like this.

When a net bag is filled, he will send it directly into the space, and then an empty net bag will appear in his hand.

In this way, Ye Yuan fished tirelessly in the ocean of pearl oysters until time passed minute by minute. It took a full 2 ​​hours before Ye Yuan returned to the boat.

While returning to the ship, Ye Yuan piled all the pearl oysters salvaged in the space on the deck.

It was almost noon, and Ding Yi drove the "Water Control" back towards Yuwan Island.

Ye Yuan sat next to the pile of pearl oysters and reached out to pick up a Jie's pearl oyster. This pearl oyster was already dead. Ye Yuan easily opened the shell. As a result, there was nothing inside except rotten shell meat.

Just dig out the shellfish meat and throw it back into the sea. Ye Yuan is not particular about this and throws some garbage into the sea at will.

You must know that many marine creatures already eat these carrion. When these shellfish are thrown into the sea, they will soon be eaten by some plankton.

Ye Yuan was not discouraged. After all, it was impossible for every pearl oyster to produce pearls.

After opening more than ten shells in a row, only one produced a pearl, but this pearl was not so round.

Ye Yuan smiled bitterly. It seemed that his luck was not that good today. On the way back, Ye Yuan kept driving the Pearl.

Ye Yuan didn't care about the quality of the pearls that came out, and kept repeating the same action.

In this way, when the "Controlling Water" docked at the pier of Yuwan Island, Ye Yuan only opened less than half of the shells.

In front of Ye Yuan, there was a plastic bucket. There were already hundreds of pearls in the bucket, of various sizes and colors.

These pearls are mainly white, with occasionally orange and pink among them.

Now that the ship has docked, Ye Yuan did not continue the work of opening shells. He stood up and sorted out some of the shell meat that fell on him due to opening the shells.

Pick up the small bucket containing pearls and get off the "Water Control".

Ding Yi, on the other hand, followed Ye Yuan's instructions to load the unfinished shells into a large net and use a small transport vehicle on the island to deliver them to Ye Yuan's villa.

That's right, it was sent to the villa. Ye Yuan planned to let Niu Niu do this. He also wanted to find something for the girl to do, so that she wouldn't have to ride a rhubarb and take Niu Niu all over the island as soon as she came back.

When I got home, my parents had come back and were tidying up the room. When my mother saw Ye Yuan coming in, she started nagging her.

"Tell me, kid, what a mess you have made of your home, and you don't know how to clean it up."

While wiping the sofa in the living room with a rag, he was nagging.

Ye Yuan touched his nose embarrassedly.

Except for wiping the dining table after eating, he really hadn't wiped any other places. It seemed to Ye Yuan that there wasn't much dust in other places, and he didn't know why his mother had to wipe it as soon as she came back.

Putting the plastic bucket in his hand into his study, Ye Yuan had no choice but to join the cleaning army.

The villa was very big, and it only took my parents and myself an entire afternoon to clean it.

Ye Yuan vowed that before his mother comes back next time, he will go to Pinghai County to find some cleaners to clean up the house and never clean up by himself again. This is simply more tiring than sorting fish.

In the evening, my mother cooked a table full of dishes. When Niuniu returned to the island, she took Rhubarb and Ainiu out, and did not come back until dinner time on Rhubarb.

Ye Yuan was not worried about anything happening to Niu Niu on the island. After all, with Dahuang by his side, even if she fell into the sea, Dahuang would be able to bring her back safely.

After eating, Niu Niu wanted to ride Dahuang out again, but was caught by Ye Yuan.
