Chapter 778 - Treasure Hunt in the Water (Page 1/1)

The owner of the coral specialty store waited at the door, rubbing his hands, slightly nervous.

These imported corals come from thousands of miles to support the revolutionary cause of the Chinese people, and even if they are carefully insulated and oxygenated during transportation, individual deaths will inevitably occur.

"Tap, put, tap!" he said, distressed, as he instructed the workers to unload the carts.

Zhang Zi'an noticed that these incubators were stamped with various stamps, all of which were signs of the approval of the import and export quarantine permit.

After unloading the goods, the workers pushed the empty carts and left.

The boss carefully unpacked the incubators one by one, and the others stood aside and watched.

As the lid was lifted, a slightly peculiar smell permeated the inside of the box.

Zhang Zi'an and the others couldn't wait to gather around, and saw that there was about half of the seawater in the box, and the bottom of the box was a plastic square, and more than a dozen different kinds of coral were placed on top of the plastic square.

In addition to the weight of the seawater, another reason why the incubator is particularly heavy is that the living coral is attached to the living stone, and each coral in the box comes with a living stone of different sizes and shapes.

The boss opened another box, which was also coral.

"Ah, the roundness of this Australian doughnut is good, and the radiant strip is quite symmetrical, how much does it cost? I want that two-color river valley brain coral!" The female customer fell in love with the two brain corals at a glance, as if she was afraid that Zhang Zi'an would rob her.

This brain coral has an orange base color with a slight depression in the center and a relatively uniform distribution of purple radial stripes.

The pattern of another bicolor valley brain coral resembles the folds of the cerebral cortex, and it resembles an unproduced labyrinth, with bright orange-red bumps and fluorescent light green suns.

The boss thought a little and stretched out four fingers, which meant four thousand yuan, and the price was fair.

"Okay, I want it. She said boldly.

Xiaoxue quietly poked Zhang Zi'an and urged him to choose quickly, otherwise the good corals would be snatched away by this female customer who didn't seem to be bad for money.

Zhang Zi'an was actually quite anxious, but he still tried to keep calm, he was choosing corals for the first time, silently recalling the pictures and introductions of corals he had seen before, and trying to correspond to the various corals in front of him one by one.

If you point to the coral and ask what kind of coral it is, you will definitely be looked down upon by the female customer, and maybe the boss will take the opportunity to raise the price, in short, you can't show your timidity.

He found that the coral species in the two incubators seemed to coincide, with the first incubator having larger corals and the second incubator being smaller.

In addition, there were a few corals in the second box that seemed to have awkward shapes, and after careful inspection, he roughly guessed that some corals had been cut for artificial propagation, and the shape of the cut was still somewhat different from the natural form.

The female customer also noticed this, preferring the natural form of coral, and kept her eyes on the first box and disdained the corals in the second box with artificially cut marks.

Obviously, the same kind of coral, the second box is much cheaper.

Zhang Zi'an estimated that the corals in the first box may be mixed with wild bony corals that Indonesian fishermen quietly mined in the sea, otherwise how could so many natural forms of corals be sold?

But after all, this boss has a coral import license, and the incubator is also accompanied by the local coral export license document of the exporting country, even if Zhang Zixin has doubts, he has nothing to say.

In fact, artificially cut corals are also good, and after a period of breeding, they are basically the same as natural corals.

In addition to these differences, the bottom of the second box is littered with fragments of living stone, presumably due to the bumps in the transportation process that have shattered the already sturdy living stone even more.

Instead of competing with the female customer for the corals in the first box, Zhang Zi'an put on the disposable gloves provided by the boss and picked and picked in the second box.

Of course, there are many rules when choosing, such as not taking the coral out of the water, holding the living rock with your hand and not touching the coral, etc.

The boss was worried that Zhang Zi'an was a rookie at first, but after watching it for a while, he found that he was very well-behaved, so he was relieved, and the coral in the second box was not expensive.

Xiaoxue also leaned over to the second box and pointed her phone camera at the coral inside the box.

Netizens in the live broadcast room are anxious for Zhang Zi'an.

"Pick the store manager, don't pick at this time! Do you really want to dig the treasure out of the garbage heap?"

"If you slam the door again, the good things will be picked up!"

"I'm so angry, store manager, you're too loB!"

Zhang Zi'an was unmoved, and it was not them who paid for it, of course they could talk about it.

After carefully browsing the corals in the second box, he had a draft in his heart, and he estimated the price of a few corals, which should be within the budget.

When his fingers pulled at a scattered fragment of living stone, a soft touch came from the fingertips.

Hey?

His first reaction was to be nervous, because he felt that he might have touched the coral body and violated the rules of selection, and he might be coldly attacked by the boss.

"What's wrong?" asked Xiaoxue, noticing his strange expression.

"Nothing. ”

Zhang Zi'an was relieved to see that the boss didn't pay attention at all.

He turned the shard of the living stone over and saw a coral perched on the other side of the shard.

The coral was a dull color, only a tiny size, an earthy grayish-brown color, almost blending in with the color of the living stone fragment itself, and would have been barely visible to the naked eye had it not been for the touch of his fingers.

What kind of coral is this?

Zhang Zi'an stared at it for a while, but its appearance did not match any kind of coral in his mind, it was very similar to certain types of coral, but it was plausible.

Is it because it has been cut and it is incomplete?

But when he looked closer, there seemed to be no obvious cut marks on its form.

His movements caught Xiaoxue's attention, but she didn't understand why he kept staring at a stone fragment.

"Is the manager of the barge stunned?"

"I thought the store manager would only do this when he picked up his wallet......"

"Haha!"

Due to the limitation of the definition of the mobile phone live broadcast, netizens who were not at the scene could not see it clearly, and they ridiculed Zhang Zi'an one after another.

When Zhang Zi'an was thinking, the female customer over there had already selected several corals from the first box, many of which cost tens of thousands, but even then she was still not very satisfied.

"Boss, please come over for a moment. ”

Zhang Zi'an raised his free hand and gestured, "I want to buy these corals and help me calculate how much it is." ”
