Chapter 238: 238
The White Flower Fish’s swim bladder was also sometimes called flower maws, and were considered an extremely expensive item .
Flower maws are famous in China; alongside abalone, Sea Cucumbers, and shark fins, the swim bladder are one of the four famous Chinese supplements .
Flower maws are extremely nutritious and contain a lot of colloid and protein . They are good for feminine health, good for the kidney, good for male virility, and helped improve healthy problems in the lung and kidney, and was also considered a cure for anemia . They are extremely helpful in relieving fatigue and helping surgical patients recover from their wounds .
An authentic wild catch white flower fish’s swim bladders obviously came with an extraordinary price tag . If pregnant women ate it, their babies would grow healthier . It also helped relieve pain and stop blood, made the skin healthier, helped wounds heal, cured stomachaches, helped with pain in the waist and bone, and had many other effects .
Among the swim bladders, the most famous were those that belonged to the Chinese Bahabas, and this part of the fish was the main reason why a Chinese Bahabas was always sold for millions of rmb .
As the highest quality swim bladder, the Chinese Bahabas’ swim bladder market price was over 1 . 5 million rmb per catty . It was said that after eating the Chinese bahabas’ swim bladder, illness would immediately be cured . After these bladders have been removed from the fish, they are dried and preserved . If used at the right time, they could save lives .
Other than the swim bladders of Chinese Bahabas, there are still Room Maws, Spider Maws, White Flower Maws, and Red Mouth Brown Croaker Maws . Of course, the White Flower Maws come from the White Flower Fish .
When Chu Xian found out how valuable this white flower fish was, he was happily surprised and even more excited fir this than for his one headed abalone catch .

The sale of the abalone would be a one time income, but these white flower maw’s would be permanent revenue . In the current market, an authentic white flower maw went for thirty thousand rmb per catty . The price definitely fit its reputation for a top quality tonic .
This news was an unexpected delight to Chu Xian .
“Now I already own two kinds of precious fish . It’s too bad that I still don’t have a Chinese Bahabas, but this is good enough . ” Chu Xian chuckled and brought Sword Two and Sword Three to the airport .
But, when they passed through the security check before boarding, the attendants asked Sword Two to open the bag of abalones .
Chu Xian smiled and nodded at Sword Two . “Open It!”
Sword Two nodded and opened the bag and placed the dozen or so giant abalones on the table . It was an impressive sight .
“These are? Abalones? There are actually such huge abalones?” The two beautiful security staffers hadn’t spoken yet when a passenger behind them pointed at the abalone and exclaimed .
“Alright, Sword Two, put them away . ” Chu Xian smiled . “Can we go in now?”
“Of course, Sir, please pass on through . ” The two beautiful security check employees were stunned and hurriedly let them through .
“Hey hey, brother, where did you get so many abalone . That’s insane, and if I’m not wrong, one of those abalones is at least a one headed abalone?” At that time, the middle-aged man behind them rushed over and gushed .
“They’re just normal abalone . ” Chu Xian glanced at the middle-aged and and chuckled before turning away .
“Hey!” The middle-aged man hurried to catch up with him, but Sword Three immediately turned around and zeroes in on the man with a murderous gaze .
The middle-aged man immediately backed away and laughed awkwardly . He looked at Chu Xian’s back and thought to himself . “So many abalone, worth at least ten million rmb . A real magnate . ”

In the first class cabin, Chu Xian lay back and relaxed . When he landed in Hai Qing, Old Huang and the others were already with their cars waiting .
Three Mercedes Benz and a Rolls Royce lined up outside . The current Chu Xian finally looked like a big boss .
“Dry the abalone . ” After returning to his Villa, Chu Xian called out to Old Huang . “Is this fish farm ready and prepared?”
“It’s ready . Old Feng has already hired people . ”
“En . ” Chu Xian nodded . “Tomorrow, have them all gather here . We’ll officially start production the day after tomorrow . ”
After handling some more matters, Chu Xian went home . He returned to the heartwarming scene of readied dishes on the dining room table .
“You’re home! How did everything go . ” Xiao Ying called out as she walked over to greet him .
“En, I’m home . ”
“Come try the food I made . You used to complain, but I’ve been learning these past couple of days . ” Xiao Ying said happily, pulling him over to the table .
“As long as you made it, it’ll be delicious . ” Chu Xian rubbed her head .
The next morning, after breakfast, Chu Xian drove Xiao Ying over to the university . When he had time, he liked to drive Xiao Ying to work and pick her up after her day .
After the university, Chu Xian headed over to the villa . When he arrived, Grandpa Feng and ten workers had already been waiting for a while .
Chu Xian greeted them and asked them to wait .
“Old Huang, get me five basins of sea water . ” Chu Xian entered a side room and called out to Old Huang . After some thought, he returned to Grandpa Feng and the others with orders . “Grandpa Feng, bring these men and get at least a hundred catties of small fish and small shrimp . Living ones, and small . ”
“Alright Xiao Xian . ” Grandpa Feng nodded, and brought some people and drove a local Chinese brand car to the fish market .
Very quickly, Old Huang had the five basins of sea water prepared, and Chu Xian looked over and nodded . With a moment of concentration, a small yellow fish appeared in his palm .
“A yellow croaker costs three energy . Not bad, its not too expensive . ” Chu Xian relaxed . If everything cost ten energy like the Dunkleosteus, he would not be able to create a huge amount of little fish .
Very soon, twenty yellow croakers were created and separated into two basins .
Chu Xian continued, and very quickly a white flower fish appeared in his hand .
“Twenty yellow croakers, and twenty white flower fish . Will this be good enough for success?” Chu Xian wondered as he looked at the forty little fish inside the basins .
He was not completely certain about cultivating the yellow croakers and white flower fish . Everything depended on today’s experiment .
An hour later, Grandpa Feng and the others were back with the small fish and small shrimp . Old Huang brought the fish and shrimp into the villa room .
Because Chu Xian had used his energy to cultivate the fish, they were born around the size of a nail and could eat the small shrimp without any problem .
Chu Xian placed a handful of small shrimp inside the basin with the yellow croakers .
The yellow croakers were not active predators like the Dunkleosteuses, but when they saw some little shrimp, they slowly swam over and started eating .
Very quickly, the shrimp were all eaten . Chu Xian put some more in .
The yellow croakers still ate slowly .
As Chu Xian fed them five or six more times, he noticed that the fish were growing visibly bigger . Happiness appeared on his face .
“It actually works . Fish made through my cultivation have an accelerated growth . ”
