Red Abalone

Things like abalone floats, abalone gauges, abalone irons, Diving Gloves, fins, Diving Masks, Underwater Respirators, Weight Belts, Buoyancy Control Vests, and regulators.

It could be said that the shop had every piece of diving equipment Ye Yuan could think of.

The shop actually had everything.

The middle-aged woman was deeply disappointed. She had originally thought she had found a fat sheep.

Yet aside from getting an Abalone Fishing Permit, Ye Yuan had not even bought a single Diving Mask.

The White woman who had been so delighted moments ago immediately became unhappy.

Seeing the change in her expression, Ye Yuan quickly took Li Shiyun to a wall near the entrance.

There, they carefully read through California's regulations on harvesting red abalone.

It would have been fine if he had not looked, but after reading them, Ye Yuan nearly cursed.

He had just thought that forty Mi Jin for a permit was cheap, but after seeing the regulations, he no longer thought so.

The rules posted on the wall were extremely detailed.

Every year, California's bays were open to harvesters only in September.

Even if someone had a fishing permit, they could not go into the sea to harvest red abalone at any other time.

That was not even the most outrageous part. The worst part was that even with a permit, one could only harvest four red abalones per day.

What Ye Yuan found most incomprehensible was that—

A person could harvest no more than twenty-four red abalones a year.

And any abalone smaller than seven inches could not be harvested.

"Isn't this just an absurdly overbearing rule?"

Ye Yuan complained unhappily.

"We're only here to have some fun. Are you planning to stay here and make a living harvesting abalone?"

Li Shiyun asked with a smile.
