Chapter 60: A lottery ticket worth 3 yuan and Melo Pearls worth 12 yuan! (Please read it again, please read it again!)
Today's Intelligence 01:
You talked with Xu Li yesterday about the topic of lost lottery tickets and obtained relevant information -

Xu Li's lottery ticket worth 3 yuan was folded into a small airplane by her daughter Jiang Xue and thrown behind the TV in the living room.

Today's Intelligence 02:
You and Lv Qian dined at Pangge Seafood BBQ in Xiaoshahe Village yesterday and obtained relevant information—

In the seafood box of Pang Ge Seafood BBQ, a coconut snail contains a Melo pearl worth 12 yuan.

……

"That naughty kid Xiaoxue really screwed her mother over this time."

Seeing the content displayed in the first piece of information, Jiang Tao couldn't help but laugh and cry.

Xu Li was depressed and blamed herself the night before yesterday, and she spent the whole day feeling exhausted.

It turns out that the culprit was her little cotton-padded jacket!
In Jiang Tao's impression, Xu Li has never been such a careless person.

When Jiang Tao heard Xu Li say yesterday that she lost her lottery ticket, he thought she was joking.

The truth of the matter was probably that Jiang Xue took the lottery ticket out of Xu Li's pocket and used it as origami.

Jiang Xue is only 6 years old this year. She has no idea about lottery and naturally doesn't know the value of the lottery ticket.

Fortunately, Brother Tongzi reminded me.

Otherwise, this lottery ticket of yours would probably expire quietly in a corner where no one would notice it, just like the one you picked up.

When he was comforting Xu Li before, he acted as if he regarded money as dirt and didn't take the 3 yuan seriously at all.

In fact, it was just to alleviate Xu Li's guilt.

Jiang Tao was very happy that he had lost and found the lottery ticket worth 3 yuan again!

With these 3 yuan, I can buy a lot of New Year’s goods!
After reading the first piece of information, Jiang Tao continued to look down at the second piece.

"Coconut snails, Melo pearls worth 12? What the hell is this..."

Jiang Tao had never heard of what was mentioned in the second piece of information, so he took out his mobile phone and looked it up online.

The coconut snail is also called the coconut vortex snail and papaya snail. Its shell is yellowish-brown and looks like a large papaya.

The production areas of coconut snails are mainly distributed in warm and tropical sandy and muddy shallow seas.

There are also many videos online of food bloggers slaughtering coconut snails and making delicious food.

It looks quite delicious too.

The Melo Pearls mentioned in the intelligence, also called "Dragon Pearls" or "Flame Pearls", come from the bodies of conchs and cannot be artificially cultivated.

The composition of Melo pearls is similar to that of most shells, consisting of aggregates of calcite and aragonite microcrystals.

这种宝石的硬度约为摩氏4.5-5，折射率约为1.51-1.64，比重约为2.75。

The colors range from orange-red, orange-yellow, yellow, yellow-brown to nearly white, with the crystal-clear appearance of ceramic and flame-patterned texture.

The shapes of Melo beads range from irregular, oval, egg-shaped, and round.

Round Melo beads present the best and most beautiful visual effects.

The orange-yellow Melo beads that Jiang Tao searched for looked very much like the dragon balls in the Japanese action movie Dragon Ball, where you can summon a dragon when you collect seven of them.

Very beautiful indeed!
Because the formation process of Melo Pearl is quite unique, it is formed naturally in the body of the snail and cannot be obtained through artificial breeding.

Due to their rarity and unique appearance, Melo Pearls are highly sought after in the market and command high prices.

Melo beads are commonly used in the jewelry industry to make rings, pendants, bracelets and other jewelry.

The value is usually determined by the quality of Melo Pearls.

The cheap ones may only cost a few thousand yuan, but the expensive ones may cost hundreds of thousands or even millions!

While searching for relevant information, Jiang Tao also found some very interesting news.

A few months ago, a girl posted a video saying that her teeth hurt when she was eating conch at a dinner party with relatives and friends.

When I spit it out, I found it was an orange "conch pearl".

This incident also became a hot topic, and netizens envied the girl's good luck.

However, a blogger quickly debunked the fake news story, claiming the girl was posing for the photo. The small conch she ate couldn't possibly produce such large Melo pearls, and the proportions were seriously out of whack.

It’s just like no matter how big a person’s eyes are in real life, it’s impossible for them to take up less than half of the face like those of two-dimensional anime characters.

Pearls like Melo Pearls can only appear inside giant snails like coconut snails.

After checking the information on his mobile phone, Jiang Tao felt excited and secretly happy again!

The seafood meal yesterday was not in vain!
Such important information was obtained!
According to the information mentioned in Brother Tongzi's intelligence, the Melo Pearl hidden in the coconut snail in Brother Pang's Seafood Barbecue Restaurant is worth 12!

If I can get this coconut snail, I will get another 12 yuan, and I can have a prosperous year this year!

"Although there's no new information on antiques, it's still pretty good."

"The combined value of these two pieces of information is 15!"

"If I could generate intelligence of equal value every day, I could make four or five million a month!"

After analyzing the two pieces of information refreshed by Brother Tongzi today, Jiang Tao was generally satisfied.

I glanced at the time on my phone and it was already around 12:30 in the evening.

After a quick wash, Jiang Tao quickly went to bed and went to sleep.

Silent all night.

Jiang Tao slept until 7:30 in the morning before getting up and going downstairs to Lao Guo's shop to have some breakfast.

He didn't plan to go to the Red Star Second-hand Market to do business today.

Getting the coconut snail from Pang Ge Seafood BBQ Restaurant was worth a year and a half of hard work.

Even a fool can tell what is more important.

After breakfast, Jiang Tao strolled to Pang Ge Seafood BBQ Restaurant where he had dined last night.

At this time in the morning, naturally no one would come to eat barbecue.

When Jiang Tao walked in, there were only two cleaning ladies in the store sweeping the floor, wiping the tables and cleaning.

"Are you here for dinner, young man?"

One of the aunts saw Jiang Tao coming in and greeted him with a puzzled look on her face.

Pang Ge Seafood BBQ opens at 10 am and closes at 10 pm.

It is rare to see a customer like Jiang Tao coming to the store early in the morning.

Jiang Tao didn't waste time talking to the cleaning lady and said directly:

"Auntie, is your store manager here? I want to buy some seafood from you. Do you sell it to me?"

"Of course we sell it. We sell seafood here, so why wouldn't we sell it?"

After hearing what Jiang Tao said, the cleaning lady smiled heartily, thinking that he was asking a nonsense question.

Jiang Tao added: "What I mean is that I buy the fresh produce myself and then go back to process it myself."

"There are some fresh produce options. Go ask our lady boss. She's over there."

The cleaning lady turned around and pointed to Jiang Tao, where a woman in a black dress was standing behind the counter and was busy counting the bills.

"Okay, thank you auntie."

After thanking the cleaning lady, Jiang Tao walked straight towards the counter, his eyes also looking at a huge glass seafood tank placed in the middle of the first floor hall.

In Jiang Tao's field of vision, in a grid in the upper left corner of the seafood tank, a coconut snail with a dark golden glow was very conspicuous among the many seafoods.

"Hello, Madam Boss, I'd like to buy two coconut snails from you, is that okay?"

"I'm a food anchor and I want to shoot a video about making coconut snails. I'd like to ask for your help. The price is negotiable."

After Jiang Tao stopped in front of the counter, he greeted the proprietress with a smile and found an excuse to buy some coconut snails.
