Chapter 92 The real value of isinglass
What Li Xuan caught was another species with a pointed head, called White Flower, which inhabits the middle and upper layers of brackish water estuaries. Generally speaking, it has a narrow distribution. It is a fish unique to the South China Sea in my country, and there is basically no overseas trade.
The white flower fish is also a protected animal. It is a second-level protected animal and its protection scope mainly covers only a few provinces along the southern coast.
However, even if it is outside the scope of protection, no one dares to buy or sell it blatantly, because there is no fishing for this kind of fish in the north. As long as it appears, there is no need to think about it, it must be caught from the South China Sea.
But in short, trading in Yulong Bay is absolutely not allowed.
After hearing Chen Tianzi explain the reason, Li Xuan smiled and said, "Don't bother me. My death was not caused by man-made causes. It was killed by other marine predators. When it was fished out, its head was sunken.
There is surveillance on the deck to prove it, so there is no need to be secretive. If it was really alive, I would have released it long ago. How could I dare to sell it?"
When Chen Tianzi heard this, he was immediately surprised. He continued: "Brother Li, you are so lucky. You have encountered such a small chance. Please save the monitoring and give me a copy later."
"It's natural."
After hanging up the phone, Li Xuan glanced at the deck.
The white fish has been packed with ice by the crew and sent to the freezing warehouse.
Li Xuan sighed. In fact, there was nothing wrong with the white fish being killed by other marine predators.
The octopus clone is really an octopus.
Moreover, as soon as the white fish saw Li Xuan's octopus clone, it immediately took the initiative to attack the octopus clone, taking Li Xuan's octopus clone as its prey.
If Li Xuan's octopus clone hadn't had some tricks, it would be Li Xuan's octopus clone who was dead at the bottom of the sea now.
At this time, Chen Bin walked up to Li Xuan and said with a smile: "Brother Xuan, why are you in such a daze?"
Li Xuan shook his head and said: "I'm wondering how long this sea area can support us fishermen."
Chen Bin looked at Li Xuan strangely, "Brother Xuan, didn't you say it yourself? There are countless fish species in the ocean, and the fishery resources are inexhaustible. As long as you can catch a small part of them, you can
Feed all humanity.”
Li smiled and said, "Yellow-lip fish was once one of the most common economic fish in my country. In the 1970s, the annual output of yellow-lip fish in Guangzhu River Estuary reached more than 200 tons, setting a new record Record catch of 1.5 tons of yellow lip fish.”
After the 1990s, for some reason, people suddenly believed that the swim bladder of yellow-lip fish has important medicinal value and is a rare nourishing product. In addition, changes in fishing methods have led to over-harvesting, and the yellow-lip fish has been harvested.
Endangered Animals.
In fact, Li Xuan knew that the nutritional value of yellow-lipped fish that was so hyped was simply false.
Scientists have long ago discovered after analysis that the swim bladder of yellow lip fish is actually a high-protein and low-fat food, and its nutritional value is not even as good as beef.
At this time, Li Xuan's cell phone rang.
Li Xuan shook his head, "Let's not talk about this anymore. I'll answer the phone first."
When I looked at the caller ID, I saw it was Chen Tianzi calling.
Li Xuan picked up the phone in confusion, "Mr. Chen, didn't we just hang up the phone? Is there anything else we haven't said yet?"
"Brother Li, I'm already in the car. Has the white fish been preserved in ice?" Chen Tianzi asked.
Li Xuan suddenly burst into laughter. Chen Tianzi actually made another call about this matter.
"Don't worry, it's well hidden in the freezer. Is there anything else?" Li Xuan asked.
"No, that's it. Just freeze it. I'll hang up now. We'll meet at Yulong Bay Pier later."
On a main road in Star City.
An Alfa is driving fast.
Fatty Wang, who was driving, looked back helplessly, "Mr. Chen, in this situation, the more you urge and the more anxious you are, the higher the price the other party will ask for. The more this situation is, the more you have to show
You have to show off your indifference, it's best if no one else goes and you just leave the matter to me."
Chen Tianzi rolled her eyes, "I'm afraid that the fish will already be in someone else's pocket before I finish laying out the score."
Gu Zao
After saying that, Chen Tianzi looked at Fatty Wang again, "By the way, didn't you say that you only think about the one-headed abalone now and are not interested in anything else? Why did you come with me?"
"Ah? Really? Did I say that?"
"Oh, yes, I did say that, but I'm just not interested in saffron and Kobe beef. I'm still very interested in this white croaker."
Chen Tianzi suddenly said in a deep voice: "It's okay to be interested in the white fish, but you are not allowed to be interested in the isinglass from that fish. I have great use for this isinglass."
When Fatty Wang heard this, he immediately stopped and the two started arguing fiercely in the car.
What they didn't know was that Li Xuan didn't plan to sell the piece of isinglass at all.
Although Li Xuan had read a book, the book said that the nutritional content of isinglass is almost all protein, and the actual nutritional content is actually about the same as that of an egg.
But now you really need to use one piece to lose one piece. Things are rare and expensive, so you are not afraid of losing value if you keep them in your hands.
maritime.
The fishing boat is moving at full speed.
Chen Tianzi really cares about that white fish.
Along the way, Li Xuan answered four or five more calls from him, and each call was just one or two sentences long.
Brother Li, I have already left the Star City area.
I've arrived at Longmen Town.
Is that white flower fish definitely in the freezer?
Brother Li, I have arrived at your Yulong Bay. How long will it take for you to dock?
...
Finally, after more than three hours of continuous sailing at full speed, the fishing boat returned to Yulong Bay on a starry night.
As soon as the fishing boat docked and stopped, Chen Tianzi climbed onto the boat and took Li Xuan's hand when he got up, "Brother Li, you are finally back."
Fatty Wang also said: "You don't know, our Mr. Chen is so eager to see through it."
Li Xuan said with a smile: "I kept you waiting for a long time. The main reason is that I ran a little far this time, reaching the Golden Bay. Then I didn't come back directly. I also dragged a few nets on the sea."
"Your trip is really worth it. You are really lucky. You were able to snatch a white croaker from the mouth of a marine predator. If you had been earlier, the white croaker would still be alive.
, cannot be traded, if it were a little later, such a good fish might have entered the belly of the shark." Chen Tianzi said.
"It is indeed a gift from the ocean." Li Xuan smiled and nodded.
Fatty Wang looked around, "Where's the fish? Brother Li, let me see it quickly, I'm so anxious."
Li Xuan ordered Chen Bin and Wang Lei to lift the white fish out of the frozen warehouse.
Chen Tianzi and Fatty Wang rushed forward with a quick stride.
"It's really a white fish."
"Can't be wrong."
"Hey, where's the swim bladder? Was it eaten by other sea creatures?"
Both of them turned back to look at Li Xuan.
