"All the houses in my family were sold. When I was packing up, I kept these conchs and kept them together with the abalone. I sold everything else that could be sold and threw away the ones that couldn't be sold. Only these were left.
Ordering souvenirs, I didn’t expect that it would cause disaster. In this case, I think my dad will forgive me and will definitely be willing for me to sell them all.”
Looking at the woman gnashing her teeth, it seemed that she didn't want to sell it in the first place.
But what can a woman do with a sick child?
Chen Wenzhe is considered a rich man with a good conscience, so naturally he doesn't mind helping a woman look at things.
However, when he took out the things, Chen Wenzhe was shocked.
If it were morning, he really wouldn't know this thing, but after a morning of study, he could now recognize it at a glance.
In the morning, he was taught a lesson by an abalone, letting him know that princes and generals like Xiang Ning have a lot of talent. No, he shouldn't look at an abalone through a crack in the door, and he shouldn't look down on an abalone.
Therefore, he really wanted to get to know some valuable bosses in the ocean, and among them, there was a conch that the woman took out.
This is the Nautilus. It is so special that anyone who has seen it can recognize it at a glance.
What's more, Chen Wenzhe's memory is so good. He has just seen such a valuable thing, how could he not recognize it?
Thinking of what the woman said this morning, her old man likes to collect some strange things, including a kilogram of dried abalone, and now he has taken out a nautilus shell.
From the looks of it, you can tell that this thing has been preserved for many years, but it is well preserved.
The long time ago means that it was not captured in modern times, so it will not violate the law.
And if it is well preserved, it has value.
It can be said that her old man really left a valuable wealth to future generations!
After taking the thing, Chen Wenzhe knew at a glance that it was an old nautilus because the features were so obvious.
The reason why this thing is called Nautilus, as the name suggests, is because it looks like a parrot's nose, so it is called Nautilus.
This snail is very magical. If you shake it gently, it feels like there is water inside and you can hear sounds.
The nautilus has a curled, pearl-like shell composed of many chambers separated by membranes.
The shell is thin and light, spirally coiled, and the surface of the shell is white or milky white. The growth lines radiate from the umbilicus of the shell, which is smooth, dense, and reddish brown.
This nautilus is not big, only about 20 centimeters long, but Chen Wenzhe knows that such a size should be considered a big one among nautiluses.
Nautilus shells in nature can have a maximum shell size of 26.8 cm, but adult nautiluses generally do not exceed 20 cm.
Some of the Nautilus family are relatively small, generally only 16 centimeters.
I took it in my hand and looked over it over and over again, but found no problems.
However, the price of this thing was relatively high after all, so Chen Wenzhe asked Ye Chengfeng to get another probe and go deep into the nautilus to check it out.
You must know that the interior of the nautilus is quite special. Its shell is composed of many chambers, divided into approximately 36 chambers. The last chamber is where the body lives and is called the "living chamber".
The other layers are called "gas chambers" because they are filled with gas.
It is because of these special structures that the nautilus is called the jet thruster in the ocean by marine biologists.
The structure inside the cut nautilus is very magical. Based on the structural characteristics of the nautilus, humans imitated the way the nautilus drains water, floats up and sinks when absorbing water, and created the first submarine.
It is this ability to dive that makes this thing so rare to see when it is alive.
But when the nautilus dies, the body software sheds its shell and sinks, and the shell drifts at sea for the rest of its life.
Once the ticket is on the shore, it will naturally be picked up by others, so this thing has been picked up by people since ancient times.
However, whoever finds it is considered lucky.
After looking through it inside and out, Chen Wenzhe was sure that this was the Nautilus.
Sure enough, the system immediately gave feedback: "The identification is correct, and the achievement value is increased by one."
Since it is a Nautilus, you can accept it. This thing is worth at least a million.
After putting down his things, he raised his head and saw the woman looking at him with a strange look on her face.
Chen Wenzhe was stunned. He behaved very badly?
Looking at Ye Chengfeng and Zhao Fei, they also looked at him in surprise.
When Chen Wenzhe thought about it, he knew why.
I'm afraid they didn't realize that this was no ordinary conch.
If he were in an antique store, would he want to pick something up at this time?
A smile appeared on Chen Wenzhe's face: "Sister-in-law, are you planning to sell?"
"Can you buy them here? Pawn them. See how much you can give. Keeping these things at home is a disaster. I plan to deal with as many as you want."
The woman waved her hands with a relaxed look on her face.
Her current temperament is completely different from that in the morning.
She looked miserable in the morning and her face was pale. Now, although her face could not be said to be rosy, the kind of relaxation made her laugh out loud.
"If you are good, you should come to us, otherwise it will be really troublesome!"
After speaking, Chen Wenzhe glanced at the woman.
Sure enough, she had no idea what trouble there should be.
"How much money are you prepared to pay, sister-in-law?" Chen Wenzhe asked tentatively again.
"You can give it as you see fit, I believe you are a pawn shop." The woman waved her hands nonchalantly again.
Chen Wenzhe sighed, if this was in an antique shop, he would definitely be swallowed up to the last dregs!
However, this is a pawn shop, and even according to the rules, the value of this thing is not low.
"Then I will tell the truth?" Chen Wenzhe put away his smile and said very seriously.
"You said, even if you give me three to five yuan, I will take it." The woman said nonchalantly.
However, at this time, Ye Chengfeng and Zhao Fei had already realized that something was wrong.
Chen Wenzhe paid too much attention to the conch in front of him, but no matter how they looked, they didn't find anything special about this conch!
"This thing is a nautilus!" Chen Wenzhe didn't show off and gave the answer directly.
"Nautilus? There's nothing strange about it, right?" Zhao Fei still didn't know why. Nautilus was special? She said she had never heard of it.
Ye Chengfeng said at this time: "I know that one of the four famous snails is sold in many tourist attractions in the country. You can get as much as you want!"
Chen Wenzhe was stunned for a moment, then continued: "One hundred and twenty?"
"Yes, that's right. There are many factories that process Nautilus, and there are also various Nautilus handicrafts. Isn't this thing very precious?"
Chen Wenzhe was speechless. He didn't expect that Zhao Fei didn't even know this.
However, she also told part of the truth.
In the eyes of ordinary people, especially those who have seen a nautilus, this thing is very ordinary.
Didn’t you hear what Ye Chengfeng said? These things are everywhere!
