The ironware I made shines

Chapter 390 "Dummy" Diving Suit
When Ge Xiaohua used to work in Guangdong City, he went out to eat with the boss. He once ate abalone, such as nine heads, six heads, four heads, etc. He didn’t understand the title of this grade at all. It’s not that there are several heads in abalone, so what grade is determined?This may be the thinking of many people in inland cities. They have never eaten abalone, and they don't even know how to judge the grade of abalone, so it is easy to make jokes.

For Ge Xiaohua, if he doesn't understand, he won't pretend to understand, so he raised his own doubts.

"Lao Yang, how is the grade of abalone determined? What about thirty thousand a catty?"

"There are several abalones in a catty, which means how many heads. For example, if there are two abalones in a catty, it is a double-headed abalone, and there are four abalones in a catty, which is a four-headed abalone. There are three abalones, so a total of 3 yuan."

"A catty is a market catty?"

Ge Xiaohua asked a key question. After all, the weight of abalone may not be the same as the market weight, which is a bit similar to the meaning of the ancient Han Jin.

"Yes, a catty of abalone is not marketed, but a Sima catty, which is about 604 grams."

"So if it is made into dry goods, the weight will be greatly reduced? From this point of view, each of the three-headed abalone is almost 200 grams? If it is fresh, how big is it? No wonder it can be sold for so long."

Three-headed abalones are rare, and they are wild, so it seems that fresh abalones must be at least 2000 grams, because according to Lao Yang, if they are made fresh and dried, they will at least shrink a lot , can reach up to about 10%, anyway, it will not exceed this range.

From this point of view, the number of abalone heads mainly shows the size of the abalone, but there are some details to understand, such as units and quantities.

"Is there really a 2kg fresh abalone down there?" Ge Xiaohua was curious, could he meet a three-headed abalone of this level?

Yuan Zhiming naturally knows this. The growth environment of wild abalone is inherently complicated, so it is more difficult to grow up than captive abalone, and the requirements for the marine environment are stricter.

"Unload the net!" Yuan Zhiming checked the surrounding sea area and started to unload the net, but all he caught were small fish and shrimp, basically no abalone.

"Captain, I suggest sending underwater frogmen to pick up abalone. This kind of wild abalone may be adsorbed on the rock wall, and they like the low temperature environment very much, so they dive into deeper sea areas." Lao Yang is very familiar with the habits of abalone , Knowing that fishing nets cannot catch abalone.

"Frogman? Lao Yang, we only have one diving suit, and we are still amateurs. The diving depth is not enough."

"It's okay, I'll go in and check it out."

Lao Yang volunteered and said that at the age of more than 60, he still looks very strong, but wearing a heavy diving suit, young people feel depressed, and there is no guarantee of safety in the seabed, let alone Lao Yang.

"Old Yang, I can't agree to this. It's not necessary for a little abalone." Yuan Zhiming firmly disagreed, mainly because Lao Yang had just escaped from a waterspout and dived into the bottom of the sea. Can't afford it.

"I'll go!" Ge Xiaohua also wanted to see what the situation on the bottom of the sea looked like, and he was still very interested in the big abalone.

"boss……"

Ge Xiaohua is even more of an amateur diver. Although he is young and strong, experience is also a must for divers. Yuan Zhiming has a headache. He didn't wear small shoes, but some decisions made him a little embarrassed.

"Old Yuan, don't worry, my water quality is good, there is nothing wrong with it."

"But……"

"If something goes wrong, you are not responsible."

Ge Xiaohua took a video to testify, reassuring Yuan Zhiming and others, and then put on a heavy diving suit and planned to fish for wild abalone.

Not wearing a diving suit is likely to make them suspicious, so they still have to wear it, but Ge Xiaohua is familiar with the basic structure of the diving suit, the way to put it on and take it off, and has a bold idea.

After putting on the diving suit, Ge Xiaohua also installed the safety rope and prepared to go into the sea. Yuan Zhiming and others talked a lot about diving knowledge, the main meaning was to let Ge Xiaohua guarantee his own safety.

Ge Xiaohua has a diving inner armor, even if there is an accident with the diving suit, it will be fine, not to mention that he himself intends to give up the diving suit.

"It's 100 meters, and the diving suit is a bit unbearable. It's time to leave. If you go down, you can't leave the diving suit." Ge Xiaohua took off the diving suit at this depth, pretending to be salvage at about 100 meters, In fact, he had taken off his diving suit and dived without any defense at a depth of 100 meters.

"There is no problem with the pressure of the gold mask at a depth of 100 meters. Go deeper." Ge Xiaohua slowly dived to 150 meters, and felt a little pressure, but it was not obvious. Only then did I feel that the golden mask was closed a little bit, but it didn't break. It can be seen that even at a depth of 200 meters, it is still easy to do, but it is extremely dangerous, so it is enough to guarantee a depth of about 300 meters. Ge Xiaohua can explore the mystery at this time, the strong pressure can crush the golden mask.

"Sure enough, there are a lot of abalones." Ge Xiaohua saw a lot of shellfish attached to the coral reef at a depth of 200 meters. Judging from the appearance of the abalones he checked on the shore, it should be.

Abalone is also a shellfish. The outer shell is hard limestone and has a right-handed spiral shape. If you look carefully, you can see that the inner shell has colorful flashes, like gems, which are extremely eye-catching on the bottom of the sea.

Ge Xiaohua pulled out an abalone, weighed it, but it didn't meet his requirements, and he didn't have a suitable tool in his hand to hold it. He didn't like this kind of small abalone with nine heads, and his goal was more than three heads.

According to previous estimates, abalone with three heads must be at least about 2 kilograms, so it is easy to distinguish from the size.

I found a lot of small abalones. Although there are many, it is difficult to pull them apart. The arms and legs inside the abalones are like suction cups, which are firmly attached to coral reefs and rocks, so it is still very laborious. Without harming the abalones, It was very difficult to pry it open with bare hands, and Ge Xiaohua didn't have any convenient tools, so he probably looked at the size and inspected it, but found nothing suitable.

"Three-headed abalones are really rare." Ge Xiaohua can also understand why Lao Yang and the others caught several three-headed abalones, and they were tens of thousands of excited when they shot them, because it was not only rare, but also depended on luck.

"Go home." Ge Xiaohua estimated the time. If the "dummy" diving suit at a depth of 100 meters was left for too long, Yuan Zhiming on the shore would become suspicious, so his time was also very tight.
