It's just that more and more of them were discovered later, so their prices have dropped a lot. However, even so, the golden conch is still one of the most popular collectible species of conch.

And in some places, the golden conch also symbolizes luck and power, which makes many people like them even more.

There is also a popular legend about this.

It is said that a long time ago, on an island in the South Pacific, a young man drove a small boat out fishing at night, and suddenly encountered a violent storm at sea, and the young man did not return overnight, and everyone thought he had been killed.

But unexpectedly, the next day, he returned safely with a golden conch in his hand. It turned out that when he was swept by the huge waves and fell into the sea, and was feeling desperate, he was attracted by a glimmer of light.

】

Then he followed the light and found an oval-shaped treasure in a coral grove, shining brightly.

He picked up the treasure in both hands and surfaced under its guidance. The golden light drove away the gloom, the sky suddenly brightened, and even the sea returned to calm, and then he returned safely.

Marveling at his luck and magic, people eventually elected him to become the chief of the island, and the golden conch has since become a symbol of luck and power.

In many tribes, only the highest-ranking tribal chiefs are eligible to wear ornaments made of gold conch.

When Li Xiaoliang heard that a golden conch could be exchanged for a Mercedes-Benz car in the past, but now it is only worth a few hundred yuan, he couldn't help but sigh repeatedly, as if he wished that he had been born decades earlier, and he could use the golden conch to exchange for a Daben.

"Xiaoliang, who found this golden conch?" Li Xiaofeng asked, "Did he say that there were any other golden conches there?" ”

"The golden treasure conch was discovered by Li Xiaojun." Li Xiaoliang scratched his head and replied, "As for whether there are other golden snails there, I didn't ask him, or I'll ask him again when he comes up." ”

"Well, if he says that there are still golden conches there, you tell him that the fishing boat is willing to buy them from him for a hundred dollars a piece, which should be more profitable than him catching other conchs." Li Xiaofeng said with a smile.

According to the purchase of one-fifth of the price, you must know that even if it is a relatively valuable snail, the purchase price of the fishing boat is only twenty or thirty-one catties, so he is now paying a price of one hundred yuan to buy the golden treasure snail, and the price is not low.

Some may wonder if the price at which he bought the fish from the crew was too low, and how could the crew agree?

As everyone said, the price of his purchase is indeed not high, but you must know that this place is what he is looking for, and the crew is also on his boat to eat his supplies, not to mention that he still pays the crew's wages normally, logically speaking, even if he does not spend money on the acquisition, the crew must obey the fishing boat's arrangement to fish.

It's just that in order to stimulate the crew's enthusiasm for fishing, he will spend money to stimulate the crew to try to catch as much as possible, and of course he can't arrange the crew to fish in some particularly dangerous places.

Now the feng shui treasure he found can be said to be very rich in resources, a crew member normally relies on underwater to catch conch, scallops, lobsters, crabs, sea cucumbers...... There is no problem at all in earning seven or eight hundred yuan, and if you are more diligent, it is possible to earn one or two thousand yuan.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to put his trawl net and arrange for the crew to come here to catch all kinds of seafood, because the resources here are too abundant, so he is reluctant to leave, and of course another reason is that he found clams in the vicinity.

"Okay, Brother Feng!" Li Xiaoliang hurriedly agreed.

After seeing Li Xiaoliang agree, Li Xiaofeng was no longer ready to stay on the deck, he had just thought of how to catch those passinch-tailed mantis shrimp on the bottom of the sea, there were still a lot of passinar-tailed mantis shrimp waiting for him on the bottom of the sea!

So Li Xiaofeng took the tools again, went down to the sea, and swam towards the place where the passertail mantis shrimp had just been found.

With the help of the thruster, it didn't take long for him to arrive at the place, and with the map, he picked up the two nets he had just brought down, and came to the side of an inconspicuous hole in the bottom of the sea.

He first made a slight movement at the entrance of the cave, and then soon a menacing male sparrowtail mantis shrimp rushed out quickly.

The net fell with his hand, and the sparrowtail mantis shrimp was quickly covered under the net.

He took advantage of the fierce and aggressive characteristics of the passerine mantis shrimp and its strong territory. The damselfish mantis shrimp will expel all creatures that enter its territory and threaten its nest.

It can be said that many times the passertail mantis shrimp is either on the dry rack or on the way to the dry rack.

Seeing that the plan was indeed feasible, Li Xiaofeng couldn't help but clench his fists excitedly at the bottom of the sea. However, his method is not available to anyone.

You must know that the damself-tailed mantis shrimp is always building new caves and discarding the old ones, and if it were other people, there was no way to know which cave must have the damself-tailed mantis shrimp in it.

Carefully snatched the passertail mantis shrimp in the net, and caught a plastic box with a lid that he had just brought down, and Li Xiaofeng swam towards the location of the next passertail mantis shrimp without stopping.

After about an hour and a half of being busy underwater, the plastic box he carried with him was already filled with most of the passertail mantis shrimp, and there should be about forty or fifty of them, and they were basically male d'allar mantis shrimp with more colorful colors and more beautiful bodies.

After all, a male passertail mantis shrimp is much more expensive than a female.

However, Li Xiaofeng is no longer ready to continue to catch it, not because the finch-tail mantis shrimp here has been caught by him, in fact, the bit of the finch-tail mantis shrimp he caught is just a drop in the ocean for this vast sea area.

This is mainly because these damself mantis shrimp are brought back, and it is also troublesome to keep them.

These guys are so territorial, every darrowtail mantis shrimp will occupy a territory at that time, and as long as the creature that enters its domain, it will wave its iron fists at the slightest disagreement, regardless of whether you are of the same kind or the same species.

If he continues to catch them, his fishing boat will not have so many places to farm them, after all, he is not ready to return to the sea, and the space on the fishing boat will have to be reserved for the fish caught later.

And if he really brings back a large number of dampentail mantis shrimp, it is likely to have a great impact on the price of passertail mantis shrimp in the market.

After all, in a city, there are only a limited number of people who play in the sea tank, and even fewer people who like the damself's tail mantis shrimp.

So Li Xiaofeng simply put away his tools and swam back in the direction of the fishing boat again.
