Chapter 4 The best sea cucumber
Chen Xuan swam to the beach. Chen Bin and Chen Hua reached out to pull Chen Xuan ashore. Chen Xi and other people on the shore also came over. Everyone looked at the mesh bag hanging on Chen Xuan's waist and glared at him, unable to believe his eyes.
"Is this...sea cucumber?"
"Damn, why are you so big?"
"There are so many more, a bag full of, how many pounds do you have to have?"
Chen Bin, Chen Hua and others looked at Chen Xuan's mesh bags, and they all looked suspicious of life. In addition to being very expensive, there is another reason why wild sea cucumbers are so expensive, which is that they are small in quantity. This area is not a sea area rich in sea cucumbers. From childhood to adulthood, I rarely heard of anyone salvaged them. Chen Xuan was fine. He went down to the beach and took a net bag to raise them. Why don't you go to heaven?
"Haha, brother, you are so awesome." Chen Xi laughed happily, took the net bag and poured all the sea cucumbers into the bucket brought by Chen Xuan.
"What did you get?" Chen Xuan said with a smile.
"this……"
"that……"
Chen Hua and Chen Bin both scratched their heads and kept their cover up, not wanting Chen Xuan to see it. It is a playful nature to go fishing directly in the sea. They can catch a small amount of oysters and some crabs, which is already worth showing off. However, compared with Chen Xuan, they can't make any move.
Chen Hua suddenly changed the topic: "By the way, Boss Zhou is choosing seafood at the dock. If he knew there were fresh wild sea cucumbers, he would be happy to buy them at a high price."
"Which boss Zhou?" Chen Xuan asked.
"His name is Zhou Hai. The owner of a newly opened seafood restaurant nearby often comes here to buy fresh seafood. He has high requirements for freshness, but the offer is fair. Especially when he wants to buy it and eat it himself, he is willing to offer a high price." Chen Bin said.
"So, is there any phone number for him?" Chen Xuan asked. His family was not poor, but not rich. Chen Xuan spent a lot of money to go to college. Chen Xi would have to go to college in another two years, which made the family a little stretched. He saved money and estimated that a few kilograms of wild sea cucumbers would cost hundreds of dollars. He couldn't bear to eat them directly. He sold them to subsidize the household income, which was still good.
"We often deal with him, of course he has a phone number, so call him." Chen Bin found his cell phone from the pile of clothes on the shore and called. He thought that even if he had to get through, he would have to send it to him in person. Unexpectedly, after a moment, a slightly fat middle-aged man with a big belly and a young man hurried over.
"I really caught wild sea cucumbers? Don't lie to me. Wild or raised, I can recognize them at a glance." Zhou Hai said as he walked over.
"It's really wild, I'm just caught." Chen Hua said, Chen Xi handed the bucket to Zhou Hai. Zhou Hai looked down and his eyes lit up. He picked up one, observed it for a while, and then came closer to smell it, and then praised: "Good ginseng!"
It is also a sea cucumber, and it is also divided into grades.
First of all, wild people are generally more nutritious than raised. Zhou Hai has rich experience and is not difficult to identify. These are real wild sea cucumbers.
Secondly, it depends on the type. These ginseng are obviously prickly ginseng, which belongs to the best quality of more than 20 edible sea cucumbers in China.
Again, it depends on the size and age of sea cucumbers. The bigger the size, the longer the age, the better. The more powerful the ginseng body, the more smooth, the thicker the ginseng, the better, and the taller the thorns, the stronger the thorns. These sea cucumbers are overgrown and perfect in all aspects.
Zhou Hai has seen many fresh sea cucumbers, but he has never seen such impeccable ones. Looking at them, you feel that it will inevitably be nourished by eating them. What kind of blessing is it to raise such a level of sea cucumbers?
"I didn't expect that there was such a top-quality ginseng in this sea area. It's really a long way to know it." Zhou Hai was amazed.
Chen Bin, Chen Hua and others were muttering in their hearts, let alone you, we grew up here, and we didn’t know that there were such good sea cucumbers in this area.
"You guys just went into the sea to catch?" Zhou Hai then noticed Chen Xuan and others in simple diving outfits, and couldn't help but be surprised. If he went out to sea to catch such a top-notch sea cucumber, it would be fine, but he was shirtless and could catch it at the beach without diving equipment?
"Yes." Chen Xuan nodded, Zhou Hai was a little confused. He glanced at Chen Bin and Chen Hua, and both of them thought to themselves, don't look at us, we are also confused.
"I bought these sea cucumbers," said Zhou Hai.
"What price?" Chen Xuan asked.
"Two hundred and twenty yuan per pound, what do you think?" Zhou Hai asked.
Both Chen Bin and Chen Hua's eyes lit up, but Chen Xuan really didn't understand the market very much. He turned to look at Chen Bin and Chen Hua. As a result, Zhou Hai thought Chen Xuan was unhappy and said, "It's 300 yuan per pound, no more."
Chen Bin and Chen Hua kept nodding. The most expensive one on the market is light dried sea cucumber, which costs several thousand yuan per pound or even nearly over ten thousand yuan. However, processing a top-grade light dried sea cucumber requires 30 to 40 kilograms of fresh sea cucumber and 300 yuan per kilogram of fresh sea cucumber. In terms of the market conditions in Dongsheng Town, it is much higher than the market price, which shows how much Zhou Hai likes these sea cucumbers.
"Okay." Chen Xuan nodded.
Chen Bin, Chen Hua and others were playing games, so they brought a small scale over, and then used this small scale to weigh it. Five ginseng, a total of five pounds, and each one reached one pound on average. Most people couldn't believe this.
This money was 1,500 yuan. Zhou Hai paid Chen Xuan cash on the spot, which made Chen Xuan and Chen Xi happy. He made 1,500 yuan the next trip, which was so exciting.
"A Xuan, you got it there, right?" Chen Bin was a little jealous and pointed to the direction where Chen Xuan had dived before.
"Yes, it's there." Chen Xuan nodded. There was nothing to hide, and it couldn't be hidden. Everyone saw that he had just swam to the other side.
"Then I'll try my luck, too." Chen Bin said.
"You work harder. This level of sea cucumber costs 300 yuan per pound. I will buy as much as I can." Zhou Hai said. These words stimulated Chen Bin, Chen Hua and others, and everyone rushed into the sea, rushing to swim in that direction.
"Brother, go quickly, otherwise they will all be snatched away." Chen Xi said anxiously.
"What's the hurry? They had already fished in the water before I came, but it was mine." Chen Xuan smiled, looking calm and composed, but in fact he was also stimulated by money. He handed the 1,500 yuan and his cell phone to Chen Xi and put it away, and then put it in the water again. This time he was preparing to salvage it seriously, so he didn't bring his cell phone.
Chen Xuan, Chen Hua, and Chen Bin were all working much harder than before. They swept the seabed nearby, but after half an hour, they were very tired, but they didn't catch a single sea cucumber. Zhou Hai waited for a while and left with the sea cucumber. He had to deal with these sea cucumbers as soon as possible, otherwise the sea cucumbers would dissolve themselves and lose nutrients after a while.
"No, no, let alone sea cucumbers with thick arms, no one with big farts." Chen Bin slapped the water surface, looking depressed.
"I just said, how could there be such a big sea cucumber by the sea? Ah Xuan, what luck did you have just left?" Chen Hua said.
