On the beach, by the bonfire.

Watching these people devouring red abalone that had been roasted by Li Shiyun.

Ye Yuan asked in surprise:

"Isn't this the place where red abalone comes from? Why do you look like you haven't eaten it before?"

Ye Yuan's question made several young people very embarrassed.

Jon put down the piece of abalone meat in his hand and said seriously:

"Ye! Do you know how expensive this thing is?"

Ye Yuan smiled:

"Of course I know this, but no matter how expensive it is, it shouldn't be nothing to those of you who often catch red abalone, right?"

Jon looked at Ye Yuan and found that he didn't mean to make fun of his group, so he said with a wry smile:

“Those damn fishing quotas have pushed the price of red abalone to unimaginable heights.

The abalone we catch is sold to top hotels, how can we be willing to eat it ourselves?"

After listening to Jon's words, several young people from Country M fell silent, while Babu on the side raised his hand and said:

"Yeah, I'm not afraid of your jokes. This is my first time eating red abalone!"

Li Shiyun, who had been silent all this time, asked in an unbelievable tone:

"Isn't it right? I saw on the Internet not long ago that California red abalone is for sale, but why is it not available locally? Isn't this unscientific?"

Ye Yuan burst out laughing after hearing Li Shiyun's words.

"What? Are what I said so funny?"

Li Shiyun rolled her eyes at Ye Yuan and asked coquettishly from the side.

"Haha, you just heard my silly rhyme. Even Babu, who has lived here since he was a child, has eaten red abalone for the first time.

Then how could you just buy it on a domestic website?”

After hearing Ye Yuan's words, Li Shiyun asked in surprise:

"Are those all fake?"

“I can’t say whether it’s true or not, after all, I haven’t bought it.

But it is conceivable that something that is difficult for people in the country of origin to eat can be sold online in China without restrictions?

This doesn’t make sense, does it?”

Ye Yuan doesn't want to comment on some businesses in China. They really dare to do anything to make money.

Ye Yuan has heard of a situation where many merchants take advantage of mainlanders' ignorance of abalone and use pearl abalone to pass it off as abalone and sell it online.

As a soft-bodied shellfish marine organism.

The price of pearl abalone is very different from that of abalone.

If we talk about small abalones on the market, the cheapest one can be sold for 10 yuan per piece.

Then the price of pearl abalone is about 10 yuan per catty.

In terms of nutritional value, pearl abalone is similar to common seafood such as scallops and conches.

In terms of taste, pearl abalone is absolutely incomparable to real abalone, both in terms of seafood flavor and texture.

But even so, many mainlanders will still be deceived.

Because they don't even know what real abalone tastes like.

I am used to the taste of pearl abalone all year round, so I regard this taste as the taste that abalone should have.

I have to say, this is also a kind of sadness.

Because the two people spoke in Chinese, Jon and others had no idea what the couple were discussing.

Several people had no intention of guessing them, they just lowered their heads to taste this rare and delicious delicacy.

"Ye Yuan, what do you think about introducing these California abalone to your fishing bay island?

In this way, we can eat such delicious red abalone at any time."

Li Shiyun suggested while chewing the abalone meat in her mouth.

Ye Yuan shook his head and seriously explained to his girlfriend:

"You think you're the only one who can think of this?

If it were feasible, someone in China would have done it long ago.

Why has no one successfully cultivated red abalone so far?”

Speaking of this, Ye Yuan paused deliberately, and after looking at Li Shiyun who wanted to know the answer, he continued:

"Because red abalone is a subtropical species, it is difficult to adapt to the ecological conditions of northern China's waters, so it is impossible to achieve large-scale farming.

And on the southern coast of China, we cannot adapt to the local algae food, so we still cannot carry out large-scale farming."

After saying this, Ye Yuan spread his hands, indicating that this was an unsolvable problem.

When Li Shiyun heard this, she pursed her lips and asked as if she had been wronged:

"Then if we want to eat red abalone in the future, will we have to travel thousands of miles to eat it here?"

Ye Yuan found a piece of paper, wiped it with his somewhat greasy fingers, then lovingly touched his girlfriend's little head, and then said comfortingly:

"Since my family, Shiyun, likes to eat red abalone, I will think of a way!"

After hearing Ye Yuan's words, Li Shiyun asked curiously:

"Didn't you say we can't breed domestically? Why is there a way now?"

"Haha, when did I say we can't breed? I mean we can't breed on a large scale, but if I want to satisfy my family's appetite for poetry, I think I can still do it, right?"

When Ye Yuan said this, Li Shiyun's entire face turned red.

Against the backdrop of the bonfire, it looks particularly moving.

While the two were still chatting quietly here, Babu, who had been eating abalone just now, returned to the sea at some point.

At this moment, he was holding an unknown unknown creature with his hand, and he was running towards the crowd excitedly.

While running, he was still shouting:

"Hey! Guys, do you see what I caught?"

When Babu shouted, the few people who hadn't finished their food also put down their food.

They all turned their heads and looked at the creature in Babu's hand.

At first, Ye Yuan didn't pay much attention to it, but when he saw the creature in Babu's hand, he was also attracted by its good looks.

This creature is small, only the size of a finger.

Its whole body is flat, its head is round and blunt, and there are many tentacles near its mouth, and it also has a pair of olfactory horns on its body.

There are also conspicuous blue stripes on the abdomen.

Three pairs of appendages separate the extra forked tentacles at the tail section of the body, forming a uniquely shaped gill.

No matter which angle you look at, this unknown creature is so beautiful.

At first glance, it looks very similar to the elves in Western mythology.

Several young people saw something so beautiful and had never seen it before, so they all came over to it.

Even Li Shiyun ran to Babu's side and stretched out her fingers to touch the cute blue elf.

Ye Yuan frowned in thought, his mind quickly searching for memories of this strange creature.

When he had just retrieved a little information about the strange blue fish from his memory, he saw that Li Shiyun's fingers were almost touching the blue elf's body.

Ye Yuan quickly shouted:

"Don't touch Shiyun, it's poisonous!"

Time was running out, Ye Yuan shouted in Chinese.

So this also resulted in that, except for Li Shiyun, the other people had no idea what he was talking about.
