Chapter 778: Purchasing Treasures in the Water

The owner of the Coral Store waited at the door, rubbing his hands together, a little nervous.

These imported corals have traveled thousands of miles from foreign countries to support the revolutionary cause of the Chinese people. Even if they are kept warm and oxygenated during transportation, some of them will inevitably die.

"Let's put it down!" He distressedly commanded the workers to unload the goods from the cart.

Zhang Zian noticed that these incubators were covered with various seals, all of which were signs of passing the import and export quarantine permit.

After the workers unloaded the goods, they pushed the empty carts and left.

The boss carefully unpacked the incubators one by one, while the others stood aside and watched eagerly.

As the lid was lifted, a slightly peculiar smell permeated from the box.

Zhang Zian and the others couldn't wait to surround them, and saw that the box was filled with more than half of the seawater. The bottom of the box was a plastic grid, and a dozen different types of coral were placed on the plastic grid.

In addition to the weight of the sea water itself, the reason why the incubator is so heavy is that the corals are attached to the live rocks. Each coral in the box comes with a large live rock of different shapes.

The boss opened another box, which also contained corals.

"Ah, the roundness of this Australian donut is pretty good, and the radiating strips are quite symmetrical. How much is it? I want the two-color valley brain coral too!" She is like grabbing.

This brain coral has an orange base color, with a slight depression in the center, and purple radiating stripes are more evenly distributed.

The pattern of the other two-color Valley Brain Coral is like the folds of the cerebral cortex, and it is like an unfinished maze. The raised parts are bright orange-red, and the sunken parts are light green with fluorescent light.

The boss thought about it for a while, and stretched out four fingers, which meant that it was 4,000 yuan, which was a fair price.

"Okay, I want it." She said boldly.

Some quietly poked Zhang Zian, urging him to choose quickly, otherwise all the good corals would be snatched away by this female customer who seemed not short of money.

Zhang Zian was actually quite anxious, but he still tried his best to remain calm. It was his first time picking corals, and he silently recalled the pictures and introductions of corals he had seen before, and tried to correspond to the various corals in front of him one by one.

If you point to the coral and ask what kind it is, you will definitely be looked down upon by female customers, and maybe the boss will take the opportunity to drive up the price, so don't be shy.

He found that the coral species in the two incubators seemed to overlap, with larger corals in the first incubator and more in the second incubator.

In addition, the shapes of several corals in the second box seemed a bit awkward. After careful observation, he roughly guessed that some corals had been cut for artificial propagation, and the shape after cutting was still somewhat different from the natural shape.

The female customer also noticed this. She prefers the natural form of coral, her eyes always stay in the first box, and she dismisses the coral with artificial cutting marks in the second box.

Apparently, the same kind of coral is much cheaper in the second box.

Zhang Zian reckoned that the corals in the first box might be mixed with wild bony corals secretly mined by fishermen Yu, otherwise why would there be so many natural corals for sale?

But after all, the boss has a coral import license, and the incubator is also accompanied by a local coral export license document from the exporting country. Even if Zhang Zi'an has doubts, he has nothing to say.

In fact, artificially cut corals are also good. After a period of breeding, they are basically the same as natural corals.

In addition to these differences, some live rock fragments were scattered on the bottom of the second box. It is speculated that the bumps in the transportation process had shaken the already weak live rock to pieces.

Zhang Zian did not compete with the female customer for the corals in the first box, but put on the disposable gloves provided by the boss and picked and picked in the second box.

Of course, there are many rules when choosing, such as not taking the coral out of the water, only holding the rock but not touching the coral, etc.

The boss was worried that Zhang Zian was a rookie at first, but after looking at it for a while, he found that he was very well-behaved, so he was relieved, and the coral in the second box was not expensive.

Some of them also moved to the second box and aimed their mobile phone cameras at the corals in the box.

Netizens in the live broadcast room were all worried for Zhang Zian.

"Shop Manager, stop picking at this time, really want to find treasures from the garbage dump?"

"No matter how stingy you are, all the good things will be picked up!"

"I'm so pissed off, store manager, you are too lowB!"

Zhang Zian was unmoved in the slightest, and they didn't pay for it, so of course they could just talk about it.

After carefully browsing the corals in the second box, he had a draft in his mind. He was interested in a few of them, and estimated the price, which should be within the budget.

When the fingers touched a scattered piece of living rock, there was a soft touch on the fingertips.

Huh?

His first reaction was embarrassment, because he felt that he might have touched the coral body and violated the rules of selection, and he might be scorned by the boss.

"What's wrong?" Some noticed his strange expression and asked.

"nothing."

Seeing that the boss didn't pay attention at all, Zhang Zian was relieved.

He turned the fragment of live rock over and saw that there was indeed a coral perched on the other side of the fragment.

The coral was dull in color, only a tiny bit in size, and had an earthy gray-brown color that almost blended with the color of the living rock fragments themselves. If it hadn't been for his finger just touching it, it would have been almost invisible to the naked eye.

What kind of coral is this?

Zhang Zian stared at it and thought for a while, but its appearance couldn't match any kind of coral in his mind, it looked like some kind of coral, but it was specious.

Is it because it has been cut, making it incomplete?

But he took a closer look, and couldn't seem to find any obvious cutting marks from its shape.

His movement attracted some attention, but she couldn't understand why he was staring at a fragment of stone.

"Is the store manager in a daze?"

"I thought the store manager would only do this when he found a wallet"

"Ha ha!"

Due to the limitation of the clarity of the mobile live broadcast, netizens who were not at the scene couldn't see clearly, and made fun of Zhang Zian.

When Zhang Zian was thinking, the female customer over there had already selected several corals from the first box, many of which cost tens of thousands, even so, she was still not very satisfied.

"Boss, please come here."

Zhang Zian raised Kong Xia's hand to signal, "I want to buy these corals, help me figure out how much."
