Chapter 307: Blood Pearl

Li Xiaofeng picked up the sharp knife and began to pry up the blood clams more carefully.

With a "snap", the blood clams were pried open by him, and Li Xiaofeng hurriedly looked inside the blood clams, but unfortunately he did not find anything abnormal in the clams.

Although Li Xiaofeng was still a little looking forward to it just now, but now that he saw this situation, he didn't feel particularly disappointed, after all, he knew that most of the clams did not have pearls.

It is good luck to find one of the three clams with a pearl, not to mention the discovery of a particularly precious pearl.

Seeing that there were no pearls in the clams, Li Xiaofeng directly used a knife to cut the internal clams meat.

One knife, two knives, but when Li Xiaofeng began to cut the third knife, he obviously felt that the feeling seemed to be wrong, and the knife seemed to have cut something hard.

Li Xiaofeng's face couldn't help but change, and he was ecstatic in his heart, wouldn't he have found any pearls again!

So he carefully used a sharp knife to peel off the flesh of the clams little by little, and finally found a hard pimple in the mantle of the clams against the shell.

With the tip of the knife, the outer inclusions were carefully cut, and a blood-red pearl that was crystal clear, round and smooth, pure as water, but bright red as blood, was suddenly revealed.

"Blood Pearl!" Li Xiaofeng couldn't help but let out a low snort.

You must know that in the pearl world, since ancient times, there has been a saying that "the east pearl is not as good as the west pearl, the west pearl is not as good as the south pearl, and the south pearl is not as good as the deep-sea blood pearl", it can be said that the blood pearl is the most high-grade and the rarest pearl among the pearls!

It's just that because they're extremely rare, they're not famous!

So much so that many people now think that Tahitian black pearls and Australian white pearls are the best pearls among pearls.

Li Xiaofeng had never seen the actual blood pearls before, and he rarely even had photos of them on the Internet.

The legendary deep-sea blood pearls are extremely rare, not only are they not easy to make pearls, but they also live in the deep sea for many years, which is extremely difficult to obtain. Ordinary people who want to get them can only wrap their blood in oil sacs, hang on long ropes, and hang into the deep sea.

When the blood pearl mussel smells the scent of blood, it will float up and bite the oil sac, so that they can be hung up, and only after breaking the shell can they have a chance to find the blood pearl.

There is even a fantasy legend in history that "the rich man pricked blood and fed the shellfish for three years, and got a string of blood pearls".

It is said that as early as the Western Han Dynasty, blood pearls were designated as royal tribute, and they could only be used by the royal family.

Moreover, it is said that the deep-sea blood pearl can not only make the wearer look graceful and gorgeous, noble and elegant, but also has the special functions of calming the nerves, removing saprophytic skin, clearing heat and detoxifying and lubricating the skin!

It was precisely because blood pearls were so rare that Li Xiaofeng didn't know their prices, but the only thing he knew was that blood pearls were the best among pearls, the most precious pearls!

Looking at the pearl in his hand, which was as red as blood and like a blazing flame, Li Xiaofeng's eyes couldn't help but show a look of intoxication.

This pearl is not big, the diameter should only be 10-12mm, but its shape is perfect, close to perfect circle, of course, the rarest is its color like flowing blood, Li Xiaofeng has never seen a pearl of this color before.

After a long time, Li Xiaofeng put away the blood pearl in his hand.

I have to say that today is really his lucky day, and he got three precious pearls in one day, especially this blood pearl and that "bullish" pearl!

After Li Xiaofeng had cleaned up the blood clams, he came to his captain's room with three clean clams and pearls.

First, they were wrapped in fine flannel cloth and locked together in a cabinet in the room.

Then he took out the small bags of flannel cloth and put the pearls that had been opened today, and the most precious blood pearls and the milky white pearls the size of a ping-pong ball were placed separately.

However, these small bags could not fit the largest "bullish" pearl found today, so he had to take out a large piece of fine flannel, wrap the volleyball-sized "bullish" pearl, and lock them together in the safe in the room.

In this safe, it can be said that he has preserved all kinds of valuable gains since his voyage to sea. Here are the eight dragon palace Weng Rong conch that he found before, the Merlot Pearl, which is known as the "Dragon Ball", and the pearls he found before have also been collected by him, and now he has added a bigger harvest this time.

After packing up everything, Li Xiaofeng returned to the deck again, and at this time, Li Xiaoliang was taking two crew members, busy sorting out the net of conch that the crew had just fished.

Seeing him coming, Li Xiaoliang handed him a peach-colored conch, and said, "Brother Feng, just now a crew member discovered this unknown conch, so he brought it back casually, do you know what kind of conch this is?" ”

Li Xiaofeng took the conch in his hand and recognized it carefully.

Although Li Xiaofeng would directly display the name of the conch as long as he opened the map, he did not do so, because he didn't want to rely on the map for everything, and he himself had not made any progress.

I saw that the length of this conch is about seven or eight centimeters, it is long ovate, and it is covered with a natural enamel, and its appearance is very smooth, and under the sun, the surface of the conch emits a deep peach luster.

"It's a golden snail." Li Xiaofeng said with a smile.

The golden snail is a species of sea snail in the family Gastropodidae, which generally lives in warm sea areas in the tropics and subtropics, and feeds mainly on algae and coral animals.

In the huge conch family, the golden conch is also one of the best, it is not only the shell is large and beautiful, the color is more dazzling, so the golden conch is also rated as one of the world's top ten most beautiful conch, is the "dream snail" in the minds of many conch lovers.

"Golden Conch, is it worth anything, Brother Feng?" Li Xiaoliang asked a little impatiently.

After all, with a name like gold, it is always associated with money.

"In the forties of the last century, it was said that a golden conch could be exchanged for a Mercedes-Benz car." Li Xiaofeng said with a smile, "But now the average golden treasure snail is only worth a few hundred yuan, of course, if the size exceeds ten centimeters and the quality is good, the price can be much higher." ”

Due to the fact that few golden conches were found in the early days, and their appearance was indeed beautiful, the price of golden conches at that time was very expensive, and the price of a golden conch even exceeded the value of a Mercedes-Benz at that time.
