Sea-hunting system: I became rich by fishing at sea

Seagull Island Beach

The father and son had already helped Chen Zhiyao move the harvest from her fishing today onto the kayak. Now, what they were holding in their hands were the fruits of their labor in the morning.

The two of them had a good harvest today, and their buckets were almost full.

The bucket in Grandpa Chen's hand was filled with mostly spicy snails, flower snails, and sea snails, as well as quite a few large crabs.

The two net bags in Chen Weiqiang's left hand were full of large spicy snails, and there were several black sea breams and a few octopuses in the bucket.

It can be said that the father and son returned with a full load. They happily carried their things and strode towards the fishing boat.

Suddenly, Chen Zhiyao caught up from behind, shaking a giant coconut snail in her hand and said:

"Dad, Grandpa, this coconut snail is so big, there might be Melo Pearls inside. Let's find something to smash it open after we get on the boat."

She had already searched for information online. Melo Pearls are quite expensive. A slightly better quality one would cost at least 10,000 or 20,000 yuan.

Some were even auctioned off at sky-high prices.

She is not greedy and would be satisfied if she could open a Melo pearl worth about 10,000 yuan.

There are small pearls inside these two coconut snails. At least one of them will be of good quality, right?

Grandpa Chen frowned and whispered to his granddaughter: "This coconut snail is quite big, but Melo Pearls are too rare, so you may not be able to find them."

Such a big coconut snail is worth at least a few hundred dollars, and Grandpa Chen feels a little bit reluctant to spend the money.

Chen Weiqiang, who was standing by and was quite brave, was looking at the coconut snail as big as his head in his daughter's hand with eagerness.

"This guy must be almost a spirit. It's rare to see a coconut snail weighing more than 4 kilograms. I think there might be Melo pearls inside. Let's open it and take a look."

Chen Zhiyao nodded frantically, "Yeah, I thought so too, there must be Melo beads in it."

She couldn't tell anyone about the X-ray glasses, so she could only pretend that she had guessed the Melo Pearl herself.

The father and daughter kept arguing with each other, which made Grandpa Chen very confused.

The old man looked at the excited father and daughter helplessly, but was finally persuaded.

Anyway, it's something picked up from the sea, so it's okay to open it for fun. At least the snail meat inside is edible.

It's not a loss since the coconut snails are eaten by our own family.

Grandpa Chen was worried that if he smashed the shell directly, the Melo Pearls inside would be broken, and it would be a pity to smash such a beautiful giant shell.

So he found two iron wires, hooked the wires on the snail meat, and then hung the two coconut snails on the wall.

"That's it? It's that simple?"

When Chen Zhiyao saw her grandfather's actions, she was a little confused and didn't quite understand why he did that.

Seeing his granddaughter's puzzled expression, Grandpa Chen smiled and explained:

"The shell of the coconut snail is quite heavy. If you hook the snail meat and hang it for about 10 minutes, the snail meat will come out by itself, and both the snail meat and the shell are intact."

Chen Weiqiang, who was standing by, was considerate enough to place two buckets under the coconut snails to catch the Melo Pearls if they fell out.

"Dad, you are so smart." Chen Zhiyao gave him a thumbs up with a happy face.

Thinking that she could hang out the snail meat in about 10 minutes, she was no longer in a hurry to go to the mangroves to collect the traps.

After waiting for a while, the snail meat was slowly lifted out, but the Melo pearls were not seen yet.

Chen Zhiyao quickly turned on the camera function of her mobile phone and recorded a video of the two coconut snails being opened.

If there really are Melo beads, this snail opening video might come in handy in the future.

There are two coconut snails hanging on the wall, one weighs three pounds and the other weighs more than four pounds, both look exaggeratedly large.

The coconut snail naturally couldn't bear such a heavy shell hanging on the snail meat, and half of the snail meat was hung out in just a few minutes.

At this time, Chen Zhiyao secretly opened her X-ray glasses and saw the shadow inside the snail meat slowly moving outwards.

About two minutes later, a strange-shaped object suddenly dropped from the smaller coconut snail.

This Melo pearl is irregular, neither round nor square, and even has two small protruding bumps.

The color is yellowish brown, with a few light patterns inside.

To be honest, this thing is not ugly, but I can't say it looks good in all conscience.

Chen Zhiyao picked up the Melo pearl, which was said to be extremely rare, and felt very worried.

Is it true that someone would spend a huge amount of money to buy such an ugly thing?

She would have to be crazy to spend ten thousand or several thousand dollars on this thing.

Just when Chen Zhiyao was worried, suddenly a slight sound came from the corner of the wall, as if something fell into the bucket.

Chen Weiqiang and Grandpa Chen, who had been squatting in the corner, saw what was in the bucket and said excitedly at the same time:

"It's a round Melo pearl."

At this time, Chen Zhiyao also ran over and took the Melo beads in the bucket in her hand.

Round Melo Beads

It is amber in color, with a ceramic luster on the surface, and cloud-like patterns evenly distributed inside.

But the pattern looks very faint and you can't see it at all if you don't pay attention.

But even so, it looks much better than the first Melo Pearl, and is somewhat similar to what is described on the Internet.

Melo Pearls are something that is in short supply. They sound expensive, but in fact not many people buy them.

Moreover, it is not more beautiful than pearls and gems, and it is not as valuable as gold. Chen Zhiyao does not plan to keep it.

So she simply edited the video, took several photos and sent them to the fishing group.

There were quite a lot of people watching the snail opening video. Within a few minutes, someone asked her if she was selling the Melo beads.

Chen Zhiyao didn't know much about Melo beads, but she had searched on Taobao and found that she could buy round Melo beads like the one in her hand for only 10,000 or 20,000 yuan.

Finally, Chen Zhiyao sent a message in the group, saying that the Melo beads were for sale, and friends who were interested could go to the fishing tackle store tomorrow to inspect the goods and participate in the bidding.

Yes, Chen Zhiyao plans to hold a small auction.

Some people say that Melo Pearls are valuable, while others say they are not. She is not sure how much she should sell them for, so it would be better to just let the highest bidder win.

After sending the message in the group, Chen Zhiyao took Grandpa Chen on a kayak to the mangroves to collect traps.

Chen Weiqiang couldn't wait to take out his fishing rod and start fishing on the boat.

The tide was high at this time, and nearly half of the mangroves were submerged in sea water.

The two of them paddled their kayaks directly to the creek where they had placed the traps yesterday.

At this time, the small river that was originally more than one meter wide has turned into a turbulent river with a water surface of three meters.

The two followed the marks and quickly found the trap they had placed yesterday.

There are a total of three earth dragons on this side of the stream, and the first one is almost full of blue crabs, with eight in total.

It’s a pity that these little guys are not very big, most of them weigh around 300 to 400 grams.

The second trap was moved to the place where the little blue dragon was found when Chen Zhiyao left yesterday.

Sure enough, there were two small green dragons weighing about half a pound inside.

As for the last trap, unfortunately, there was nothing inside.

The other four traps on land are basically filled with blue crabs and orchid crabs.

Grandpa Chen placed the traps in a very good position. Almost every one of them weighed more than 700 to 800 grams, and two of them weighed more than one kilogram.

Chen Zhiyao and Grandpa Chen happily returned to the boat carrying a bucket full of crabs and two little green dragons.

Chen Weiqiang, a fisherman who has always come up empty-handed, still performed steadily today.

Ever since the hook went into the water, the fishing rod in my hand hasn't moved at all.
