1168. Red coral
Qin Shiou saw the photo of the ship. It was an old ship, and the old one could be the freighter of Grandpa Fenghuo.
At that time, the Qin Emperor was surprised. Billy is also a talented person. How could he find such a ship? Let me describe it. The ship was the image of the Harvest Counter on fire ten times, re-opening eight times, hitting the reef five times, and being robbed several times by pirates.
You should know that the North Atlantic Ocean is still a long distance away from the Indian Ocean, where the Somalia waters are located. He is afraid that the ship will sink halfway there...
Billy said awkwardly: "When my ship left the port, no one dared to take such a boat to sea. There is no way, I can only hire a small boat to accompany me so that those sailors are willing to get on the boat."
Qin Shiou said: "If it were me, I wouldn't dare to take such a boat to travel far away. I will definitely not be able to come back when I encounter wind and waves. I really don't know how you could buy such a boat."
Billy said aggrievedly: "I'm not saving money for us? Besides, acting in a whole set of ways, such a ship sank halfway through. If your Melon Princess was driving out for some reason, can you explain it?"
Qin Shiou thought about it, so he patted his shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work, brother, it's not easy for you."
Hearing this, Billy almost shed tears: "It's not just not easy, Qin, you don't know how difficult it is for me. Recruiting crew members is difficult enough. Damn it, and the more difficult thing is to obtain a transportation certificate!"
"The damn customs will not allow our ship to go to sea anyway. I will let it be scrapped in a few days. I will scrap his face! You don't know how much effort it took to get this ship out."
Qin Shiou recalled the appearance of the broken ship and felt that the US Customs was quite responsible. Putting that kind of ship out of the sea was to kill money.
Then, Billy introduced him to him that the broken ship had just entered the Indian Ocean, and there was no way, the broken ship was driving slowly. When it drove faster, the crew members were afraid of refusing to do it. It was estimated that it would take another half a month to reach the Somalia waters.
At that time, the engagement ceremony between Qin Shiou and Winnie was over, and he could take the time to preside over the salvage work of the gold mine.
The two often come to say goodbye to the island. The place to live is simple, one can live in a fishing ground and the other can live in a hotel in the town.
To welcome the two of them in the evening, Qin Shiou specially made several fish dishes. Mao Weilong grinned and said, "Forget it, there are also many of these fish in Hamilton's seafood market recently. I'm a little vomiting."
Qin Shiou smiled and said, "Can this be compared with my fishing ground? Cellins can only be eaten fresh. If you try the fish I fried, the taste will definitely be different."
Mao Weilong grabbed a golden capelin with doubts, then dipped it in some seasonings, chewed it in his mouth, and couldn't help but nod and said, "Well, you're right, this fish is fresh and different!"
If capelin is not fresh, it will be more fishy, and the fishy smell is particularly obvious when fried.
Qin Shiou has become more experienced in making capelin fish. When dealing with small fish, he first uses white wine and vinegar to deal with it firmly. In this way, the fresh fish will have a light fishy smell. Once it is treated with white wine seasoning, the taste will be even better.
The meat of the capelin is very tender. How can the fish meat be rough with small fingers? If it is fried, the fish roe is even better. The fried fish is very fragrant. And although this kind of fish is small, the fish roe is big enough. The feeling of chewing the fish roe is very pleasant.
While eating dinner and drinking beer, Qin Shiou had a hint of sorrow on his face. Billy and Mao Weilong saw it and asked him what was wrong.
Qin Shiou sighed and said, "Ring matter. I haven't figured out what kind of engagement ring to use now."
Mao Weilong said casually: "You'll give Winnie a 50-carat one, which is definitely great."
Qin Shiou sneered: "I want to give my wife, not to give me a mistress. What I want is meaningful and unconventional. The diamond ring is too ordinary. Of course, if it is just to be valuable, it would be simple. Why am I still in a difficult position?"
Mao Weilong blinked when he said, "I didn't say you're giving away a mistress, can't you give your wife a diamond ring?"
Of course, if there is no better choice, Qin Shiou will give him a diamond ring. In fact, he had an idea in his mind, but it was too late, and if the engagement ring was given, there would be no wedding ring.
Billy thought about it for a while and sighed, "There are only a few that can be given. The diamond ring is the best choice at present. If your red coral beads were not auctioned, that one would be fine."
Qin Shiou asked, "What does this have to do with the Red Coral Bead?"
Billy said: “Isn’t it more meaningful to polish the beads and polish them into rings?”
Qin Shiou smiled bitterly and said, "The beads are only that small, how can they be polished and worn? Winnie wants to bring them to her middle finger, not her little finger."
Billy said: "Of course I know which finger she wears. The head bead in the center of the bead is big enough. Grind it..."
Qin Shiou just said this subconsciously. He heard Billy react until now, interrupting him and said, "Is the value of red coral enough?"
Billy nodded and said, "Of course, if it is Aka Red Coral, that gram is worth 5,000 Canadian dollars or even more! Although it is not as good as diamonds, you should know that diamond rings are just diamonds for rings, ring rings are platinum, and red coral rings? Then all of them are red coral!"
There are red corals deep in Qin Shiou's fishing ground. He has been maintaining the coral forest. Not only does he send a large army of sea pythons to protect them all, but he also constantly inputs sea god energy to them. He doesn't know what kind of corals are, but they look bright red and very beautiful.
The sea god's consciousness was released and he directly found the red coral bush. Qin Shiou rolled up the stone and picked the most colorful piece in the middle of the coral bush. When he went up, he broke a large piece directly and controlled a sea python to swim to the shore.
While transporting, Qin Shiou asked, "What are the varieties of red corals? Tell me, a friend of mine has a good piece of red coral in his hand. I'll go find him to get it tomorrow, and you can see what happens then."
Billy agreed while drinking beer: "It's okay, man, I'll introduce you to the basics first. There are many types of red corals, and the most common and valuable ones are aka corals, touching corals and sardine corals."
"The value of these three types of red corals is high and the value of aka coral is the lowest, and the price difference of a single gram can reach several times! So you'd better ask your friend first what texture is this coral? In fact, only aka is suitable for high-end decorations."
Qin Shiou didn't dare to say this, and he didn't know what kind of corals were, so he changed direction and asked, "If it was just ordinary red corals, then if it was large enough, would it be valuable?"
"How old?" asked Billy.
"Well, the sizes add up to about one ton." (To be continued.)
