"But where did you buy these shrimps? We don't think we have this kind of shrimps here." Xiang Yang said.
"It's in an aquarium store in Longcheng, and the owner also said that the shrimps are imported." Fatty Zuo said.
Xiang Yang nodded, "The boss probably didn't lie to you. This kind of shrimp is indeed very rare even abroad."
The Jurassic shrimp is a type of shrimp that has existed since the Jurassic period. It was once thought to be an extinct creature 50 million years ago. It was not until 2005 that scientists rediscovered this shrimp in the Coral Sea in Australia and cultivated it artificially in large quantities.
In 2005, the Global Census of Marine Life team conducted research on seamounts in the Coral Sea off northeastern Australia.
At that time, the research team was trawling in waters more than 400 meters deep and caught a very strange and beautiful shrimp that had never been seen before.
At that time, the entire scientific census team was very surprised.
Because after careful comparison and verification, the scientific survey team discovered that this kind of shrimp is exactly the Jurassic shrimp that the scientific community believed had become extinct five thousand years ago.
"This shrimp is obviously an improved variety that has been artificially bred. It has ten legs and is slightly larger than a crayfish. Its body is covered with beautiful pink spots. The color is very bright and beautiful, but its legs are very thin. The legs of wild Jurassic shrimp are very thick and strong, and their eyes are huge. They need light to capture food. These functions of this shrimp have degenerated." Xiang Yang said to Fatty Zuo while fiddling with the Jurassic shrimp.
Originally, Xiang Hui had no interest in this shrimp. There were so many valuable marine creatures in this ocean. He had even seen the French blue dragon worth millions, let alone this small shrimp worth only one thousand dollars.
But after hearing Xiang Yang say that the shrimp was artificially cultivated, Xiang Hui immediately leaned over and said, "What the hell, an artificially cultivated shrimp that is not even as big as my palm costs a thousand yuan? Let me take a look."
Xiang Yang handed the bag to Xiang Hui.
Xiang Hui lowered his head and glanced into the bag.
I saw the Jurassic shrimp standing at the bottom of the plastic bag with its six legs stretched out, its head held high, and the tip of its tail also at the bottom of the plastic bag. The remaining two legs were waving in the air, looking like it was dancing, which was particularly beautiful.
Xiang Hui fell in love with it at first sight, "Wow, this shrimp is so beautiful, no wonder Fatty Zuo would spend over a thousand yuan to buy a shrimp that is barely enough to fill my teeth."
Xiang Yang grinned, "If you really want to eat this shrimp, it's this big, enough for you to eat for a day."
Xiang Hui naturally didn't believe it, "How is that possible? I can eat several lobsters several times bigger than this one in one day."
"The reason why I said that it will take you a day to finish it is not because of how much it is, but because of how bad the meat tastes." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
The taste of Jurassic Shrimp really cannot be described by seafood.
Unlike other delicious seafood, Jurassic shrimp does not taste fresh at all. It can even be described as disgusting and is very difficult to swallow.
This is related to the fact that Jurassic shrimp like to live near craters and accumulate a large amount of chemicals such as hydrogen sulfide in their bodies.
Scientists have discovered that the seawater environment of Jurassic shrimp was very special.
It is said that the water temperature in that area is very low, below minus two degrees Celsius.
But the submarine craters in that sea area can erupt water with temperatures of over 400 degrees.
Such a high temperature is even enough to melt some metals directly.
However, the Jurassic shrimp was discovered by scientists in this extremely harsh living environment.
Scientists have discovered that Jurassic shrimp can adapt to water temperatures ranging from -10 degrees Celsius to 80 degrees Celsius.
In the whirlpools created by the interaction of hot and cold water, Jurassic shrimps are often washed into hot water with a temperature of hundreds of degrees Celsius. Scientists were surprised to find that the Jurassic shrimps that were washed into ultra-high temperature water can always swim out of the hot water quickly on their own.
Therefore, many people like to call Jurassic shrimp boiling shrimp.
In fact, scientists have never understood why Jurassic shrimp can survive in such high temperatures, as proteins in organisms usually decompose quickly under high temperatures.
This phenomenon remains a mystery in the scientific community, and a large number of scientists are studying it.
The corner of Xiang Hui's mouth twitched, and his eyes changed when he looked at the Jurassic shrimp. "There are actually such magical shrimps? So, if I put this shrimp in a pot to cook, my pot would be burnt, but the shrimp is still not cooked? The water has boiled dry, but it is still alive and kicking?"
Xiang Yang smiled and shook his head. "I don't know about that, but this shrimp can indeed escape quickly from the sea water that is several hundred degrees hot."
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Have you had lunch?" Xiang Yang asked.
Fatty Zuo and Xiang Hui both shook their heads, indicating that they had not yet.
Xiang Yang took out his phone and checked the time. "I'm going to Binhai Department Store in a while. You guys go back and put the shrimps away first. Then we'll go shopping at Binhai Department Store and have something to eat."
In fact, Xiang Yang had already had lunch at Li Chao's place.
However, Xiang Yang heard that several stores had already opened in Binhai Department Store. As the second largest shareholder of Binhai Department Store after Li Chao, Xiang Yang naturally had to go and take a look since he had the time.
"Okay, I'll go right away. Huizi, you and Yang wait for me here." Fatty Zuo immediately turned around and ran towards home.
Xiang Hui turned around and got on the motorcycle, then he turned the accelerator and made a handsome turn. "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get on the motorcycle. I'll take you back."
Fatty Zuo quickly climbed onto the motorcycle and sat down, then shouted to Xiang Yang: "Brother Yang, wait for us here, we will be there in a few minutes."
Xiang Yang smiled and nodded, then turned and walked slowly towards the Binhai Hotel.
A few minutes later, Fatty Zuo and Xiang Hui came running over from the other side of the road, panting, and met Xiang Yang in the square of Binhai Department Store.
Binhai Department Store has not officially opened yet. At the entrance of the first floor, a craftsman is installing a revolving glass door.
However, the decoration inside the building has been completed. There are already many areas on the first floor with various glass counters. Most of them sell sunglasses, swimsuits and swimming trunks, or cameras. Some counters have already displayed the goods, but no one has come to do business yet, but some counters have already started business.
"Have you ever been to Binhai Department Store?" Xiang Yang asked Xiang Hui and Fatty Zuo beside him. (To be continued)
