Nowadays, there are more and more abalone farmed, and the price is getting cheaper and cheaper, and in some places it has even been sold for a few yuan a piece.

This has also made abalone from a high tribute in the past, to a seafood that ordinary people can afford.

However, this is limited to captive-farmed, relatively small abalone.

Now there are fewer and fewer abalone in the wild, and the price is getting more and more expensive.

Four- or five-headed wild abalone can now be sold for thousands of dollars each.

In 2021, a 1.5-kilogram farmed fresh golden abalone in Shanghai was sold at a high price of 13,888 yuan. For example, some of the perfect RB Jibin abalone and net abalone can be sold for 300,000 yuan a piece in Hong Kong.

The most expensive American red abalone has even been sold for a sky-high price of $100,000 each.

Abalone is not only loved by Chinese, there are also a group of enthusiasts abroad, but foreign countries have very strict regulations on the picking of wild abalone.

Look at the dozen or so black abalone clinging to the reef, where is this abalone, it is clearly RMB!

There are several abalones in this, which should be able to reach the standard of two abalone and three abalone!

It is only in this dangerous place that they can grow to such a large size safely.

Li Xiaofeng knew that the abalone had a very strong adsorption capacity, so he didn't try to catch it directly with his hands.

Instead, he swam to the abalone, then took out the diving knife he carried with him, inserted the blade into the connection between the abalone and the rock, and carefully pried the abalone off one by one and put it into the net pocket on his body.

Things are vaguely expensive!

Li Xiaofeng also picked four abalone that reached the standard of double-headed abalone and pried them down, and let them continue to grow quietly here.

After prying the abalone, Li Xiaofeng did not delay under the water, and surfaced with the abalone.

Liu Xuexia and Li Yonglin, who were in the distance, did not relax until they saw him surface.

Liu Xuexia couldn't help but blame her: "It's such a big person, and it's not worrying!" ”

Li Yonglin glanced at her and did not answer.

He knew his wife's temper, and she said that it was okay, but if others said bad things about her son, he would not be able to eat and walk around.

Li Xiaofeng climbed onto a slightly flat reef and rested for a while, then activated the thruster, took the equipment, woven bags, and net bags, and swam back in the direction of the fishing boat.

After handing everything to the boat, Li Xiaofeng climbed onto the boat out of breath. This time I was tired, but I was much better than last time.

Seeing Li Xiaofeng climb onto the boat, Liu Xuexia complained and said: "Didn't you go to pick up the dog claw snails, why did you still dive, do you know how worried my mother is!" ”

Li Xiaofeng smiled, pointed to the net bag placed in the cabin and said, "Mom, what do you see inside?" ”

Liu Xuexia brought the net bag on the deck, opened it, and exclaimed: "Such a big abalone!" ”

When Li Yonglin heard this, he also put down the things in his hand and hurried over, and was also startled when he saw the abalone. These abalone are really not small, they are almost the size of two palms of an adult!

Li Yonglin has been fishing for so many years, and he used to often do odd jobs on abalone steaks.

He had never seen such a big wild abalone. Not to mention the wild, it is artificially bred, and he has never seen such a big one!

Liu Xuexia looked at Li Yonglin and asked, "How much can such a big abalone be sold for?" ”

Li Yonglin said with a wry smile: "I have never seen such a big abalone, how do you know how much it can be sold for a catty?" But I know that such a big abalone is no longer counted by catties, but by one, how much money can be sold for one! ”

Then he turned his head and asked Li Xiaofeng, "These abalone should be able to meet the standard of double-headed abalone, right?" ”

"Almost!" Li Xiaofeng replied with a smile.

"Then this abalone is worth a lot!" Liu Xuexia said with a smile.

After all, it is a fisherman who has lived by the sea for a long time, although he has not caught it, but the famous double-headed abalone has been heard, and the fishermen who do not know the saying "it is difficult to buy double-headed abalone"!

Li Yonglin was also very happy to hear it, and said: "The mobile phone signal here is not good, I will contact those bosses on the way back in a while!" ”

"This abalone is not as big as tens of thousands of one, we would rather keep it than sell it! Such a big wild abalone is really a rare treasure. It can be said that one is caught, one is missing! This thing is also easy to feed, and we are not in a hurry to sell it. Li Xiaofeng said with a smile.

Li Yonglin and Liu Xuexia also felt that it was very reasonable, and when they went home, they put them in a fish tank, put clean seawater, and injected oxygen, and they could live for a long time!

In this way, the three of them chatted on the boat, and after resting for a while, Li Xiaofeng ate some more chocolate, and Snickers replenished his strength.

Feeling that he had almost rested, Li Xiaofeng said to Li Yonglin and Liu Xuexia: "Dad, Mom, I've rested, wait for me to explore the place where the shipwreck last time!" ”

Liu Xuexia looked at him worriedly and said, "If you feel tired, we will come again next time, don't rush this time!" ”

Li Yonglin also said: "You just consumed a little too much physical strength, no, let's come back next time!" ”

Li Xiaofeng said with a smile: "Parents, it's okay, I have just rested, and I have eaten something to replenish my strength, and I have completely rested!" ”

After speaking, he also posed with a powerful pose.

In this way, under the slightly worried eyes of the two people, Li Xiaofeng changed the battery of the thruster, took the fishing gun, hung the underwater metal detector on his body, and brought a net bag, and jumped into the water again with confidence.

Shipwreck, treasure, I'm coming!

It's really exciting to think about.

Li Xiaofeng activated the thruster and swam in the direction of the last time he encountered the big vortex. Sure enough, as soon as he got closer, he was sucked into the maelstrom again, only this time he was much calmer.

After turning off the thrusters, this time he was also in the mood to observe the surroundings.

He felt as if he was spinning inside a giant hourglass, and a huge force was constantly tearing at him, as if it was going to drag him to the bottomless depths of the sea.

And there seemed to be a force that wanted to pull everything away from him, which made him clench the thruster and fishing gun in his hand.

There was also some seaweed that had been sucked in in the whirlpool, and the small fish, right in front of his eyes, swirled with the current.

It feels like it's close at hand, and it's like it's far away.

It's an amazing feeling!

Soon he was swirled by the current and pulled to the bottom of the sea, and he also seized the opportunity to quickly activate the thrusters.

The pull of the thruster took him away from the vortex that had shrunk a lot.

I glanced back at the mysterious and dangerous vortex in front of me, and then swam towards the shipwreck area not far away, driven by the thruster!
