Gelidium is a common food on the tables of many Blue Island citizens.

It has a crispy texture and can be served cold or made into jelly.

Agar can also be refined.

Speaking of agar, it has a wide range of uses.

The most commonly used solidifying agent for microbial culture media, it is also used in canned meat, fish, poultry, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and dental care.

It is widely used in food industry, pharmaceutical industry, daily chemical industry, bioengineering and many other aspects.

Agar-agar used in food can significantly change the quality of the food and improve the grade of the food.

Its characteristics include coagulation, stability, and the ability to form complexes with some substances and other physical and chemical properties.

It can be used as thickener, coagulant, suspending agent, emulsifier, preservative and stabilizer.

It is widely used in the manufacture of oranges and various beverages, jelly, ice cream, pastries, soft candies, canned food, meat products, eight-treasure porridge, white fungus and bird's nests, soups, cold foods, etc.

Agar is used in the chemical industry, medical research, and can be used as culture media, ointment base, and other uses.

"Haha, it's been a long time. Every time I see it, I pick some and bring them back. You give them to the fat man, and he makes them cold for me at noon today."

Ye Yuan was in a good mood. He had eaten this kind of food a lot when he was a child.

In recent years, Gelidium has gradually faded out of his menu. I accidentally discovered it today and there is no reason not to pick it back and try it.

After saying this, he turned around and entered the sea again.

Time passed little by little, and when Ye Yuan returned to the fishing boat again, there were already many crew members sitting on the deck to rest.

Take a look at the items around these crew members. They are really full of things. They have everything.

"Boss, help me see if this is a treasure snail."

Ye Yuan returns to the ship

Before he could take a breath, Ma Hua ran over happily holding a conch.

Originally, Ye Yuan didn't take this guy's words to heart.

But when he saw the conch in his hand, he was also attracted by the conch.

Reaching out to take the conch, Ye Yuan observed it carefully.

The shape of the conch is round and fat, the bottom of the conch shell is round and convex, there is a slippery layer on the edge, and the conch layer has obvious involution.

The most distinctive thing about this conch is that it has a long and narrow mouth and fine teeth on its outer and inner lips.

The surface of the shell is smooth and shiny, and the body is light brown with dark brown spots and stripes.

"Boss, is this a treasure snail?"

Seeing that Ye Yuan didn't reply and was only observing the conch, Ma Hua couldn't wait to ask again.

Ye Yuan did not expect that Ma Hua actually recognized the identity of the conch.

Just as Ma Hua asked, this beautiful-looking conch is the famous treasure conch.

However, in Pinghai County, the old people call this snail a treasure.

Snails are generally found in tropical and subtropical sea areas.

It moves slowly, is afraid of strong light, and hides in coral holes or under rocks during the day.

They only go out to look for food at dawn or dusk.

Although the snail is not big, it is a completely carnivorous animal.

They use their radula to hunt sponges, foraminifera, and small crustaceans.

The spawning season of snails is mostly from March to July, and the eggs are usually laid in coral caves, empty shells and dark places.

…

After the mother snail lays eggs, it does not leave the egg group, but still lies on top of the egg group to protect it until it hatches.

The shell of the treasure snail is usually oval, with a layer of enamel on the surface, which looks very beautiful.

smooth.

Baoluo is very popular among people because of its beautiful appearance.

And Ma Hua found this, which is a relatively rare map conch among the conchs.

If this snail is alive, it can be sold at a very good price in the ornamental fish market.

Unfortunately, the one Ma Hua picked up was obviously a shell that had been dead for many years.

However, because the shell is relatively well preserved, I believe the price should be good.

After all, conch collection is still very popular in some coastal cities such as Landao.

"You're lucky, kid. This is the map snail."

Ye Yuan said this with a smile, and then returned the conch to Ma Hua.

"Ah? Then what price can this snail be sold for?"

"I can't say for sure. It depends on the gloss and completeness of the shell.

I don’t know the specifics, but a few hundred yuan shouldn’t be a problem.”

Ye Yuan really doesn't know much about treasure conches. He only cares about some precious conchs. There is no need to care too much about something like this that costs hundreds of dollars.

I thought Ma Hua would be disappointed.

After all, these guys and I have developed an appetite for going to sea many times.

A few hundred dollars may not be something that his crew members take seriously.

But who knows, when Ma Hua heard that the conch could be sold for hundreds of dollars, instead of being annoyed, he laughed loudly and said while laughing:

"Get rich, get rich."

"Are you stupid? How can you make a fortune with a few hundred yuan?"

Yu Hongbo really couldn't stand this guy's nagging, so he could only say this in a nonchalant way.

"Hahaha, yes, it's a few hundred apiece, but there are so many of these treasure snails down there, wouldn't they add up?

Have you made a fortune?"

After Ma Hua finished speaking, he ran out in a hurry, took the diving equipment he had just changed and put it on himself.

While wearing the equipment, he shouted loudly:

"Brothers, let's go! Come and make a fortune with me!"

As soon as the crew heard that they had found the treasure, they started to get busy. Everyone knew that even if these treasure snails belonged to the fishing boat, they would still get a commission.

So everyone happily changed their equipment.

Especially the new crew members are so excited when they hear they have a baby.

Yu Hongbo looked at Ye Yuan with questioning eyes.

He couldn't figure it out. What kind of treasure could a conch that that guy Ma Hua picked up be?

And from what this guy said, there are many more down there.

Ye Yuan also didn't expect that there were really good things in a random place he just found.

The reason why I chose to dive here is because the seabed here is rich in seafood.

There are not only abalone here, but also rich shellfish resources.

Ye Yuan's original plan was to allow newbies to adapt to the work of seabed collection as soon as possible, so he chose this sea area.

At that time, I just used my senses to scan the place in general, and didn't observe it too carefully.

But he never expected that Ma Hua would actually find an expensive treasure snail here.

Then Ye Yuan shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Seeing Ye Yuan shaking his head, Yu Hongbo, who had been looking at him, asked curiously:

"Boss, you're not fooling Ma Hua, are you? Don't those things have such a high price?"

Hearing Yu Hongbo ask this, Ye Yuan knew that he had misunderstood him, so he shrugged and said with a very relaxed look:

“The reason why Baoluo can be sold

That price is because it is rarely seen on the market.

That's why it was speculated to that price.

If there are a lot of snails on the market all of a sudden, think about the price."
