What do the real abalones look like?

First of all, we need to know that the unit of measurement of abalone is the head. The greater the number, the smaller the size.

Generally, we usually choose six-headed abalone, eight-headed abalone, and ten-headed abalone. How many abalones there are in one pound, we call them several abalones. For example, if there are eight abalones in a pound, we call them eight-headed abalones. The fewer the heads, the larger the abalone and the higher the price. My family eats it. It makes no difference whether I use one abalone or nine abalone for making soup and porridge. They are all eaten in the stomach, and the nutritional value is the same.

The heads here refer to the number of abalones of similar sizes in a pound. This head is similar to a quantifier. "Several abalones" does not mean how many heads an abalone has, but how many abalones can be weighed per pound. One is called a one-headed abalone, two is called a two-headed abalone, three is called a three-headed abalone, and so on.

For example, "4 abalone" means 4 abalones are 1 catty, and "10 abalone" means 10 abalones are 1 catty. For example, one abalone is extra large, and one weighs 500 grams. Two abalones weigh 500 grams. Abalone weighs 250 grams.

In coastal cities, the price of fresh abalone is generally 5-10 yuan each. Dried abalone costs thousands of yuan. It's okay to buy it occasionally to try it out, but the price is a bit expensive. Abalone is rarely available inland and is only available when dining in high-end hotels. Many friends think abalone is sold by the piece. In fact, when you order abalone at a restaurant, the waiter will usually ask you how many heads you want, rather than how many abalone you want. If you ask for 6 abalones, the waiter will definitely laugh at you.
