"If you often eat the types of conch I'm going to talk about next, you must be a serious foodie!" Xiang Yang said.
Chen Qingsheng and Fang Youqun listened attentively.
Xiang Yang said: "The scientific name of the first snail I want to talk about is called Concha squarrosa. It is well-known that this kind of snail is delicious. You may not know its scientific name, but you will definitely know its other name if I tell you."
"What's the name?" Chen Qingsheng asked puzzledly.
Fang Youqun also scratched his head and said, "I don't like eating snails. I haven't liked it since I was a child. I don't believe I know this kind of snail."
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "Its other name is the Flower Snail, because it has many patterns on its body. You haven't heard of this kind of snail, right?"
"Flower snail? I know this kind of snail." Chen Qingsheng suddenly realized: "Flower snail is indeed very famous. The meat of this kind of snail tastes very delicious and has a relatively light fishy smell. It is very suitable for people who don't like the fishy smell of seafood."
Fang Youqun also nodded and said, "I know that too. My dad often catches this kind of snails. They taste really good. Even people like me who don't eat snails like to eat a couple. In fact, this kind of snail is very popular. No matter how many my dad catches, they can be sold out quickly. However, some people think that flower snails are too small. It's a pity to miss out on this delicacy."
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "The second delicious conch I want to talk about is the one Chen Qingsheng is holding. The scientific name of this snail is Red Wrinkled Rock Snail, also known as Sea Snail. It is a kind of snail that Internet celebrities often pick up. It is not only large in size, but also tastes delicious. It is becoming more and more famous on the Internet. It is especially enjoyable to eat it in big mouthfuls. After steaming it, eat it directly with dipping sauce. It is so delicious, otherwise it would not be so popular on the Internet."
Fang Youqun stared at the snail carefully and said, "I remember that last time I was watching a live broadcast at the beach, a beautiful woman was eating this kind of snail. Her mouth was full of oil. But this kind of snail is not expensive. It's only 9.9 yuan, including shipping, and she sells several of them."
Xiang Yang blinked his eyes. "I just said it tastes good, but I never said it's expensive. In fact, the reason why this kind of snail is sold at such a low price is not because of its poor quality, but mainly because there are so many of them, and it is a buyer's market in the market."
"But then again, if there weren't so many of these snails, they wouldn't be so popular on the Internet."
"Okay, we'll pick up some of these snails and take them back to eat with wine." Chen Qingsheng smiled and put the snails in his hand back into the net bag.
Fang Youqun's face was full of disgust. The first time he saw someone else eat this snail, he felt sick the whole day. If he were asked to eat it himself, he would definitely not eat it.
Fang Youqun quickly said, "Brother Yang, we know this type of snail. Please tell me the next one."
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "The third type is the large jade snail. It looks similar to the snail you played with when you were a child. Although it is small, it has a lot of meat inside. If it is in a relaxed state, it looks very large, but if it is stimulated by external force, it will discharge all the water in the body, and then it will become very small. So when you buy it, you must shake it more to shake out the water inside, otherwise it will be a big loss."
"Isn't this a sea snail? It's one of the rare treasures." Chen Qingsheng said in amazement.
"It's not that mysterious. It's just that a few years ago, some inland people who had never seen this kind of snail ran to the coast and saw coastal people eating this kind of snail. They spread the rumor that people in the coastal areas all eat snails. Later, the rumor was debunked several times, but the more it was debunked, the more it spread. Finally, the rumor evolved that rich people like to eat sea snails." Xiang Yang said.
"In fact, the price of large conches is very cheap. I remember when I was in junior high school, there were people selling them at the school gate. They were 50 cents for a small bag. They were fried with a lot of sharp peppers. Eating one was so spicy that smoke came out of my nose." Xiang Yang said.
"Brother Yang, now I know what's going on if you say so. I've eaten this kind of snail before. It tastes delicious when fried with chili peppers." Fang Youqun said with sudden enlightenment.
Chen Qingsheng glanced at him and said, "Don't you not eat conch?"
"Except for the giant jade snail, I never treat it as a conch. I eat it as a snail." Fang Youqun said immediately.
Chen Qingsheng shook his head, too lazy to continue bickering with Fang Youqun. He asked, "Boss, are there any other conches I should be aware of?"
Xiang Yang thought about it carefully and said, "In fact, there are only three common and delicious conchs. You only need to remember these three. There are too many other delicious conchs, but most of them are rare and expensive."
At this point, Xiang Yang suddenly slapped his head and said, "Oh, by the way, there is another kind of conch that is also very common, and it tastes very good."
"Which one?" Chen Qingsheng asked.
Xiang Yang said: "It's the mud snail. You must have seen this kind of snail, right?"
Chen Qingsheng frowned. He had definitely seen him before, but he didn't recognize him and didn't know his name.
Fang Youqun reacted immediately. He said with a look of disgust: "I know this snail. It's like a slug. It has a very strong fishy smell. I would rather die than eat it."
Xiang Yang smiled and nodded, "Many people do dislike mud snails when they see them, including me, because there is a layer of snot-like substance on the outside of mud snails, and they do have a very strong fishy smell when eaten. But this is not the way to eat mud snails. Pickling them into drunken mud snails is a rare delicacy on the beach, and it is also a very famous snack on the beach."
Fang Youqun curled his lips, still looking disgusted.
Chen Qingsheng smiled and said, "Since it is a very common conch, I will definitely have the chance to see it in the future. Next time I see it, just based on Fang Youqun's expression, I will definitely want to try its taste."
"Are you disgusting? You must try the taste of something I dislike." Fang Youqun said with contempt.
Chen Qingsheng laughed, "Because you are a freak picked out of a million!"
As he spoke, Chen Qingsheng took two steps forward on the beach, then bent down, picked up a conch as big as half a fist, and threw it into the net bag.
Fang Youqun was immediately furious when he heard this, and went up to argue with Chen Qingsheng.
At this moment, Fang Youqun suddenly glanced over and saw a large, earth-gray creature in a crack in the rock.
"Fuck! Lobster!" Fang Youqun exclaimed.
"Where?" Chen Qingsheng asked hurriedly.
Xiang Yang also looked in the direction where Fang Youqun was.
"Shh!" Fang Youqun made a gesture to silence everyone, and then tiptoed towards the hiding place of the lobster. (To be continued)
