After looking at the surrounding environment, there were some densely packed things growing on some rocks that were exposed out of the water, which looked a bit mind-numbing.
Just by looking at it, Chen Wenzhe recognized it as a gooseneck barnacle.
Anyone who knows high-end seafood ingredients knows that this kind of delicacy, which is said to come from hell, is mostly grown in reef areas with good water quality but dangerous.
The reef area in front of us, which is constantly washed by waves, is very suitable for the growth of gooseneck barnacles.
Wearing a close-fitting diving suit, Chen Wenzhe did not intend to dive over, but swam directly from the sea.
The main reason is that the underwater environment is more complex, and there are even many undercurrents caused by the waves.
In this environment, veteran fishermen dare not drill into the underwater reef area with pieces.
Swimming on the sea, through the diving goggles worn on his head, Chen Wenzhe can also feel how rough the waves are.
Looking at the constantly crashing waves, he was still a little tired even though he was in good physical condition.
After finding a rock, Chen Wenzhe climbed up directly.
He lay on the rocks and kept panting. He really didn't expect that swimming would be so tiring.
However, there seem to be gooseneck barnacles in the cracks on this reef.
At this time, Chen Wenzhe remembered Lao Zhao's words: The only time to really pick the gooseneck barnacles growing on the rocks is at noon.
Even if this time waste is smaller, it will still make many people timid.
Every time a wave hits, Chen Wenzhe quickly lowers his body and uses his back to resist the waves.
Even Chen Wenzhe, who has always been bold, was very nervous at this time. He was afraid that he would lose his footing and fall off the rocks.
If you are really knocked down by the waves, the consequences will be very serious!
Because there are many reefs hidden under the surrounding sea water.
Seeing that kind of environment, the bodyguard following Chen Wenzhe could only smile bitterly.
Fortunately, Chen Wenzhe is not arrogant and does have some skills.
In just a moment, he successfully escaped from the area where the waves hit him and found a relatively stable place to stay.
"Fuck, Wen Zhe, you are risking your life!"
Just when Chen Wenzhe stood firm, a sound came from his earbuds.
"I got some...green grass!"
Chen Wenzhe was startled when he suddenly heard a sound and almost fell into the sea water.
"Hey, the equipment you have on you has a lot of hidden functions. There is a button on the headlight, which controls the camera. There is a signal amplifier on the ship, which can connect to the Internet. You turn on the camera and let us see what's going on over there.
"
Chen Wenzhe really didn’t know that the earplugs were Bluetooth headsets, and there was actually a camera on his head. It seemed like there was a talker on the diving suit?
"Show us what those precious seafoods look like!"
Following Zheng Yu's guidance, Chen Wenzhe turned on the camera above his head and aimed it at the crevices in the reef.
Zheng Yu and others on the big boat instantly saw gooseneck barnacles that were washed by the waves from time to time and were absorbing nutrients.
Although this thing doesn't look very good-looking, Zheng Yu and others who know this kind of seafood understand that this thing is very expensive.
"Densely packed! People with trypophobia would probably faint just by looking at it!" Cao Qingchun's voice came.
"Isn't this a dog claw snail? It seems to be very common?" Zhang Yijie also said.
"The dog's claw snail is the name in China, but abroad it is called gooseneck barnacle. Gooseneck barnacles of this quality are really rare in China. It seems that we are in good luck today!"
After chatting with Zheng Yu and the others for a while, Chen Wenzhe began to open the net bag he brought, and collected the dog claw snails growing in the rock crevices one by one and threw them into the net bag.
It wasn't until he picked a bag full that Chen Wenzhe said with satisfaction: "After squatting for a long time, my waist can't stand it. It's really troublesome to pick this thing. However, it's really lucky to find a place where it grows.
ah!"
Show Zhang Yijie and others what he has gained, and then focus the camera on the waves hitting the rocks.
The feeling of waves crashing into their faces also shocked them through the lens.
Dog claw snails are very expensive, and there is a reason for that. Just look at the current sea area. If you don’t have any water skills and courage, you may not even be able to climb on the rocks, let alone pick the dog claw snails that grow in the rock crevices!
Even local fishermen would not dare to come to such a place easily, otherwise, there would not be so many dog claw snails here.
After chatting for a few more words, Chen Wenzhe heard Lao Zhao's voice coming over.
"Compared with climbing up, the return trip is more dangerous. To ensure safety, it is best to concentrate on it, turn off the camera, and not be disturbed."
Naturally, Chen Wenzhe knew that this place was dangerous, so he followed the rules and turned off the camera.
As for the scuba diving treasure hunt requested by Zheng Yu and others, we can only wait until we have the opportunity to talk about it later.
There are many reefs in this place, and the surrounding fishermen dare not approach easily.
Perhaps it is because of its dangerous location that it became a natural shelter.
There are not only lobsters here, but also a lot of wild abalone!
The abalone that Lao Zhao caught by diving before should have been in the same situation, but the abalone growth environment there was better than here, and it was easier to catch.
Facing the waves, with the rocks behind them, people on the ship in the distance can also feel the waves hitting the rocks from time to time, and the sound of the waves can be clearly heard.
It can be seen that Chen Wenzhe, who is returning, is under a lot of pressure.
Fortunately, Chen Wenzhe was quite powerful, and the scene of being swept down by the wave did not occur.
Chen Wenzhe, who successfully returned to the sea, quickly returned to the boat.
Looking at the gooseneck barnacles that had retracted into their shells, Chen Wenzhe said with a smile: "Today's harvest is pretty good. I'll look for lobsters and abalones down below later. If we're lucky, we can really eat our fill this time."
After hearing this, Cao Qingchun looked directly at Zheng Yu: "Little Fatty, how much does this thing cost per pound?"
"I have never bought one, but from the information on the Internet, such top-quality dog claw snails cost several hundred euros per pound!"
"A few hundred euros? Are you crazy? This thing is so valuable?"
Chen Wenzhe, who is very sensitive to valuations, immediately said: "It's really so valuable. Gooseneck barnacles are a foreign name. We call them dog claw snails in China. In fact, you can also harvest this kind of snails in some places near the sea."
There are not many of these things here, they are relatively rare. Ordinary dog claw snails can be found for tens of yuan per pound. The ones I picked now are a bit more expensive. This bunch can be sold for about two to three thousand yuan.
Money!"
"This pile should weigh about ten kilograms, right?" Cao Qingchun said.
"One or two hundred per pound doesn't seem very expensive!" Zhang Yijie was also a little disappointed.
"You guys are really wealthy! One or two hundred pounds a pound, isn't that expensive?"
Zheng Yu looked at Zhang Yijie, how much has this guy earned recently? How could he be so wealthy?
As several people began to discuss, Lao Zhao laughed.
It doesn't matter whether the price is expensive or cheap. The main thing is that it is difficult to collect.
