Chapter 808 Map Treasure Conch
Stone cauliflower is a common food on the tables of many Blue Island citizens.

It has a crisp taste and can be cold or made into jelly.

It can also extract agar.

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

The most commonly used curing agent for microbial culture media, also used in meat, fish, poultry cans and cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and dental care.

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

The use of agar in food can obviously change the quality of food and improve the grade of food.

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

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

Widely used in the manufacture of oranges and various beverages, jelly, ice cream, pastry, soft candy, canned food, meat products, eight-treasure porridge, tremella bird's nest, soup food, cold salad food, etc.
Agar can be used as culture medium, ointment base and other purposes in chemical industry and medical scientific research.

"Haha, it's been a long time. When I saw it, I picked some and brought it back to the fat man. I asked him to make cold salad for me at noon today."

Ye Yuan is in a good mood, he never ate this kind of food when he was a child.

In recent years, agaric cauliflower has gradually faded out of his recipes, but I found it by accident 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, when Ye Yuan returned to the fishing boat again, there were already many crew members sitting on the deck to rest.

Looking at the items around these crew members, the good guys are really dazzling, and they have everything.

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

Ye Yuan returned to the boat, before he could catch his breath, Ma Hua happily ran over with a conch.

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

But when he saw the conch he was holding 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 shell is round and convex, there is a slippery layer on the edge, and the spiral layer has obvious involution.

The most distinctive feature is this conch, with a long and narrow mouth and fine teeth on the outer and inner lips.

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

"Boss, is this a treasure snail?"

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

Ye Yuan didn't expect that Ma Hua actually recognized the identity of this conch.

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

But in Pinghai County, the old people will call this kind of snail a treasure.

Treasure snails are generally produced in tropical and subtropical sea areas.

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

They only come out to forage at dawn or dusk.

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

They prey on sponges, foraminifera, and small crustaceans with their radula.

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

After laying eggs, the female snail does not leave the egg group, but still lies on the egg group to protect it deliberately until it hatches.

The shell of Baoluo is usually oval, and the surface is coated with a layer of enamel, which looks very smooth.

Baoluo is very popular because of its beautiful appearance.

And Ma Hua found this, which is a relatively rare map treasure snail among treasure snails.

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

It's a pity that the one Ma Hua picked up was obviously a shell that had been dead for many years.

However, because its shell is still relatively intact, I believe the price should be good.

After all, conch shells are now collected in some coastal cities such as Blue Island, and it is still very hot.

"You are lucky, this is the map treasure snail."

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

"Huh? Then how much can this snail be sold for?"

"I can't say that well, it depends on the glossiness and completeness of the shell.

I don't know the details, but a few hundred yuan should be no problem. "

Ye Yuan really doesn't know much about conch shells, he only cares about some precious conch shells, there's no need to care too much about things that cost hundreds of dollars.

I thought Ma Hua would be disappointed.

After all, the appetite of these guys and myself to go to sea many times has been cultivated.

A few hundred dollars is not necessarily a serious matter to his crew.

But who knew, when Ma Hua heard that the conch could sell for hundreds of dollars, instead of being annoyed, she laughed, and said while laughing:
"Get rich, get rich."

"I said, are you stupid? How can you make a fortune with a few hundred dollars?"

Yu Hongbo really couldn't bear to see this guy's embarrassment, so he could only say such a sentence on the sidelines.

"Hahaha, yes, each is a few hundred, but there are many such precious snails down there, wouldn't adding them together make you rich?"

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

While wearing the equipment, he also shouted loudly:

"Brothers, let's go! Go get rich with me!"

As soon as the crew heard that the treasure had been found, they started to get busy. Everyone knew that even though these treasure conch belonged to the fishing boat, they still got a commission.

So everyone happily changed gear.

Especially those new crew members, when they heard that there was a baby, they were excited.

Yu Hongbo looked at Ye Yuan with questioning eyes.

He couldn't figure it out, what kind of treasure was a conch that Ma Hua picked up casually?

And listening to this guy, there are many more below.

Ye Yuan didn't expect that he just found a random place, and there are really good things.

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

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

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

At that time, I just scanned here with my perception, and didn't observe too carefully.

But it never occurred to her that Ma Hua would actually find an expensive snail here.

Then Ye Yuan shook his head and smiled wryly.

Seeing Ye Yuan shaking his head, Yu Hongbo who had been looking at him asked curiously:
"Boss, aren't you fooling Ma Hua? Isn't that thing such a high price?"

Hearing Yu Hongbo's question, Ye Yuan knew that he had misunderstood himself, so he shrugged and said with a very relaxed look:
"The reason why Baoluo can be sold at that price is because it is rarely seen in the market.

That's why it was fired at that price.

If there are many precious snails on the market at once, think about the price. "
