"As for being happy like this?" Liu Fu looked at Han Peacock's smile and lost his eyes, and was a little unhappy.

Zhou Meiren also leaned beside them and said, "Yes, even if you see it, this is also the bathtub for catkins children." ”

Han Peacock glanced at them disdainfully and said, "Am I so obsessed with money?" Don't worry, I won't rob this clams, but it can't be used as a bathtub for the child, such a big live clams are rare, I think it's still good to raise, however, this clams can be recorded in the child's name, you think of the province, I, as a father, robbed his own children. ”

"It's a pity, this is a living one, I don't know how much time it will take to grow so big? It's a pity to kill. Liu Wu said.

Zhou Meiren smiled and said: "It's a pity, there is no such thing as a bathtub, so let the child and his father find another one." ”

Han Peacock smiled and said: "I have a plan, after eating, I will take you to dive, when the time comes, we will look for more, if we really find it, not only to make a bathtub, but also to do others, like Buddha beads, Yingluo, etc., you women should like it." ”

"I think you have itchy hands, right?" Liu Fu chuckled.

Han Peacock said: "There are a lot of treasures in the sea, this time, don't you want to have a good look?" If the little one is born, it will not be so leisurely in the future. ”

"You're a person who can't walk when you see a treasure, so what's the use of it? Better than tortoiseshell? Liu Wu asked.

Han Peacock said: "This is really a good thing, the pearls worn by the second-rank officials of the Qing Dynasty in my country when they went to court are made of clams." In various places, Buddhist monks and Tibetan lamas have Buddhist beads made of clams.

The "Compendium of Materia Medica" records that it has the effect of calming the heart, calming the nerves, cooling the blood and lowering blood pressure, and can have incredible magical powers after long-term wearing, such as enhancing immunity, preventing aging, stabilizing heart rhythm, improving insomnia and other medicinal effects.

At the same time, it has a very high medicinal value, can cool the blood, lower blood pressure, calm the nerves, especially for sore throat, children's blisters are more curative, Tridacnus can protect the body, prolong life, Tibetan Buddhism regards it as a magical treasure to exorcise demons and avoid evil spirits.

In addition, it also has the functions of warding off evil spirits and keeping peace, eliminating disasters and misfortunes, eliminating evil spirits and changing feng shui. Therefore, it is listed as one of the "Seven Treasures of Buddhism".

The Qing Dynasty's "Huidian" stipulates: the clams of the pearls worn by second-grade officials when they go to the court; The top of the six-rank official is also a clams. From this point of view, people who were able to possess clams in ancient times. Either princes and ministers, or virtuous monks, ordinary people rarely get it. ”

"So you're going to get rich again?" Liu Fu smiled and looked at Han Peacock and said.

Han Peacock threw a wink at the catkins and made her laugh before saying, "How can I say that I am rich?" It should be said that we have made a fortune. ”

"Xiao Han. Love this gift, right? Looking at Han Peacock and Liu Wu, they were happy. Xu Jiachen knows. This time their gift, Han Peacock, should be very satisfied.

Of course, Han Peacock was satisfied, so he said, "I have given you a lot of things, and this is the first time I have seen a return." It's not a bad feeling. ”

Xu Jiachen laughed and said: "We can't just let you contribute, this time we also have to show our sincerity, otherwise it won't make you feel cold?" ”

Han Peacock also smiled: "Although I am very satisfied with this gift, you don't seem to have much money, right?" ”

Xu Jiachen said with a smile on his face: "How can you say that?" Not to mention such a large clams, plus a sea area where clams grow, it is a priceless treasure, and the economic value of this thing is so high, you shouldn't know it, right? ”

"Know a little." Han Peacock said with a smile.

Xu Jiachen said: "Don't know a little! You should be well aware that this is crucial to your island strategy, and if you use some special means, it is definitely a good way to make a fortune.

You can rest assured, if you can really breed clams on a large scale, we can also provide you with some other varieties of clams, and when the time comes, we will definitely make your clams breeding industry bigger and stronger. ”

Han Peacock nodded, it seems that Xu Jiachen is very sincere this time, and he can't even mention the idea of refusing.

It is important to know that there are two genera and ten species of clams, and there are 6 species distributed along the coast of China, they are: large clams, scaleless clams, scaly clams, long clams, saffron clams and clams oysters, of which five species can reach 50cm in length of shells.

The largest bivalve shellfish is the largest species of bivalve shellfish, with the largest recorded individual shell up to 1.3 meters long, weighing 500 kg and being over 60 years old.

The clams are also very superior in growth, as long as the environment is suitable, it can grow to thousands of catties.

"This thing is really good, and the economic value is also very high, but the growth period is too long, and the average person does not have that kind of patience." Han Peacock said.

"This shouldn't be a problem with you Han Peacock, right? Although the growth period is a little longer, it has a large number of reproductions! Xu Jiachen obviously put a lot of effort into it, otherwise, he wouldn't know what a clams are.

"That being said, it takes a lot of input to breed this thing, and I need to produce it now." Han Peacock was unmoved.

Xu Jiachen said: "You can rest assured about this, since it is a gift, naturally we can't just draw a big cake for you, the real benefits, we also let you see it, and give you this, you can't say that we only talk about it and don't do practical things." ”

Xu Jiachen is cautious and cautious in selling favors, because he knows very well Han Peacock's demonic Cheng dù.

So after he finished saying some basic information, he immediately handed Han Peacock a copy of the text, which contained some information about the Tridacn, of course, in the control area of the Han Peacock, the origin of the Tridacnus was also clearly marked.

Some basic information Han Peacock naturally knew for a long time, except that Han Peacock didn't think that he would use a big shell to make a bath for the baby, everything else was clear.

Tridacns are hermaphroditic, generally the eggs are released after half an hour of ejaculation, the life history of the clams is the same as that of other bivalve shellfish, and it takes a long process, which is the difficulty of cultivating clams.

The growth of the clams is through the hatching of fertilized eggs - single round larva - planktonic disc larvae - late disc larvae - juveniles, and develops to maturity after two to three years.

The most unique thing is that the clams establish a symbiotic relationship with zooxanthellae at a very young age, so even young juveniles need plenty of sunlight.

Like corals, the mantle of the clams is extremely colorful due to the symbiotic relationship of zooxanthellae, and the same species has different colors and patterns - no two clams have the same pattern and color.

Such a good thing, if it can be born quickly, the benefits obtained are great, and the active water in the Xuanyuan Water Flag is naturally of great benefit to this sea creature, which has been verified very clearly in the Tasmanian lobster.

In addition to the huge role of the shell, the shell meat is also very delicious, the adductor muscle of the large clams growing for seven years can reach 1.5kg, and the dried scallops made are known as the best in Taiwan and Hong Kong.

In addition to processed shellfish meat and shells, even small shells that are intact are valuable, and there are many countries around the world that collect shells, and tropical shellfish shells are the most popular for their rich colors and dense chitin.

The price of the clams varies according to the size and variety, and a shell of more than 60 cm and cultivated from large clams can be sold for up to 400 US dollars.

In China, the clams shell has the characteristics of gemstones, is the first of the 'seven treasures of Buddhism' to drive away evil spirits and avoid evil, and the rosary and Buddha statues made of the clams are the magic objects of the great monks.

In many seaside tourist destinations, there are shell markets of all sizes, and with the development of tourism, this market has a tendency to expand.

In some places in China, the processing of clams has formed an industry, the price of clams from the South China Sea, in recent years, has continued to rise, the quality of high quality can reach 10,000 yuan per ton, the harvesting and processing of clams crust has been one of the main sources of local economy.

The sale of shells does not have the problem of transportation and preservation, and the pearls that can often be found in the clams are even more expensive, which can be described as rare treasures.

In addition to hunting and killing clams, as an ornamental aquatic creature, the value of clams is not small, seawater ornamental aquarium clams, is an important species in seawater ornamental aquarium, in the North American marine ornamental fish market, a high-quality, brightly colored clams, the retail price can reach 200 US dollars, mainly small clams and long clams.

Seeing Han Peacock nodding frequently, Xu Jiachen couldn't close his mouth with a smile, he knew that some of Han Peacock's previous grievances against them should have almost dissipated.

After watching the clams, the group walked up to a wooden building and sat down in a single room with a wide view and a view of the sea outside, Xu Jiachen spoke again: "Xiao Han, your Uncle Xu takes care of you very much, and I also brought you another gift this time." ”

After speaking, Xu Jiachen clapped his hands, and a staff member brought up a delicate wooden box.

Han Peacock looked at Xu Jiachen in surprise and said, "Which one are you playing?" Our negotiations are over, and you keep giving me gifts, why do I feel a little chill in my heart? ”

Xu Jiachen said with a smile: "It is because the negotiations are over that we can talk about our friendship, which shows that we send you something without any political purposes, so you can accept it with confidence." ”

"Since it's Uncle Xu's hospitality, then I have no reason to refuse?" Han Peacock said with a smile.

Xu Jiachen said: "This is not something I Xu Jiachen gave you, you can treat him as a national gift." ”

"A national gift? Do I need to give you a return gift? Han Peacock said strangely.

Xu Jiachen said with a smile: "If you are not prepared, you can not go back." ”

Han Peacock was speechless, this was already an obvious request for a return gift, he had long known that Xu Jiachen's gift was not easy to receive, but the previous gift had already been received, even if he didn't accept it this time, he owed the favor, since this was the case, it was better to accept it all.
