Volume 1 The Entry of the Demons into the World Chapter 74 The Young Master of the Xi Family is Fa Li
In the next two days, Shen Lingyi personally went to deploy Su Er's plan, but we were really hanging around, Xi Fan also took us to a local folk street, which is full of all kinds of pearl craft shops, but they are all ordinary freshwater pearls, and occasionally there are some saltwater pearls, which look average.
Not only pearls are sold, but other seafood treasures such as corals, hawksbill turtles, clams and many more are traded. Of course, because of trading restrictions, the top red coral will not appear here. In the same way, it is also illegal to trade tortoiseshells, but some small handicrafts are not strictly investigated, and Xi Fan told me that another reason is that they are basically fake.
Let's have fun, Xi Fan said that there is nothing else to buy, but to see if we can meet a good clams. Tridacnis is the largest shellfish in the sea, and its diameter can even reach two meters.
This shell was as white as jade when it was alive, and it became a fossil after death, and it is a rare organic gemstone, which is said to be the gemstone with the highest purity of whiteness. Some fossils will also be jadeized, giving them a moist texture, and they are the darlings of the market. Compared with pearl agate corals, clams are obviously more cost-effective.
Well, this suits me, we poor people, we have to be real, and it doesn't seem to be of much use to the big man's whole pearl thing, but I heard Xi Fan say that it is not a good clams bracelet. I found a familiar shop, saying that it was his father's friend, and Xi Fan introduced us to the difference between the clams, some of which are pure white, some that look like jade, and some that are red.
I saw that there was a more pleasing thing that there was a yellow line in the middle of the white beads, Xi Fan smiled and said that it was called Golden Silk Tridacn, don't look at the name is very good, in fact, it is quite cheap. What's cheap, let's choose the right one instead of the expensive one, so as not to be the one who is wronged. I look down on these rich second generations the most, and you don't eat clams if you have abalone.
As we were picking it up, we heard some movement next to it, and we looked up and saw that it was a girl who was pretentious with the shopkeeper.
"Miss Ru, the condition of your clams is indeed good, but the pearls you want to exchange are not ordinary colors, I can only exchange them for four at most. ”
"Boss Qian, it's so hard to find big clams fossils now, what I gave you is still complete, and it can be processed as a whole or cut into pieces, and it's very cost-effective to exchange for five pearls." ”
"No, Miss Ru, we are all people who understand the market, and you are not doing business with me for the first time, otherwise, let's not barter for things, I will accept your clams, I will give cash to you." ”
"The price of five pearls?" the young lady seemed insisting.
"No, why can't you get around the bend, I can only promise you that if you settle the cash money, you can get more than four pearls, and if you want to buy it elsewhere, you can probably buy five. ”
"Where else can you have such a good pearl, if you buy it casually, I can weigh it by the pound. ”
"Otherwise, I see if you want me to exchange this pearl for clams, five must not be given, just four, I will make up some money for you, what do you think?"
The girl hesitated, "That's okay, don't make up my money, give me four first, can you help me stay for a while longer?"
"I'm doing business here, how can I not let people buy it. The boss was also very embarrassed when he heard this.
"I know, you will leave me for another week, and if it doesn't work then, I won't be difficult for you, and besides, such a good pearl will not worry about the buyer at all." ”
"Okay, okay, ouch, Miss Ru, I didn't say you, I'm fresh to do business with you, it's not good to buy anything with money, I have to ask for this pearl." ”
"Well, you just keep it, thank you. ”
The boss shouted to the back, "Come on, move that clam to the back." ”
Then he took a box and handed it to the girl, "Look, I won't return the goods." "No problem, just know you're a good person. ”
The girl just glanced at the pearls in the box and carefully put them in her bag, then waved at the boss, "Okay, a week." ”
"Got it. ”
The girl turned around and walked out of the store, and the boss was stunned when he saw our group, and said with a smile: "Isn't this the young master of the Xi family, what's the matter, you plan to take over your father's business and not be a cook?"
Xi Fan was busy introducing us, the boss's surname was Qian, "No, it's better to be a chef, okay, it's not like you have a few friends to play, I'll take them to go shopping, is there a better Tai Chi clams, pick a bunch for my brother to play with, I don't want to fade." ”
"Why, I dare sell that thing to you, I'm still not messing around on this ground. ”
Boss Qian smiled and picked out a few strings of golden silk clams from the cabinet and put them in front of me, "This is Tai Chi Tridacnus?" I was a little confused, isn't this a golden silk clams?
The boss explained with a smile: "Tai Chi is a ball, and this golden wire just runs through it, dividing the two sides of yin and yang, so it is also called Tai Chi Tridacn, which is the most beautiful of the golden silk Tridas." Hey, I'm not afraid of your jokes, which is the choreographed lip gloss, you can call it custard bun if you want to. ”
This boss looks quite real, I picked up a string and looked at it carefully, and compared it with what I just saw, sure enough, the gold wire that Xi Fan pointed out to me just now has a thickness and a thin gold wire, and the position is also relatively messy, and the strings given by the boss are similar in thickness, and they are all in the middle of the beads.
I picked a string and gestured in my hand, and asked casually, "Boss Qian, what's the matter with that girl just now?"
Boss Qian said "Hi" and said: "That's one of my customers, and it's also my supplier. ”
"You're in the pearl business?"
"I don't know, if you want to say that this girl's eyes are really poisonous, the pearls in her picture are all good goods, they are all from the Xi family, you have to say that you use it yourself, how can you use it so much, look at her like she doesn't look like a master who is short of money, maybe she takes it back to sell jewelry. ”
"Isn't it cheaper for her to find the original channel?"
"The amount she can exchange is small every time, my pearls, or familiar with Lao Xi, only to get the goods, others can't take it at all, you say that people are such a big deal, can you take care of the kind of bargaining just now." "It's the same when you think about it.
I picked a string of hands, I handed it to the boss and said that's it, before I asked Su Er to pay for it, Xi Fan had already paid the bill first, saying that he couldn't let me spend it when he came.
Xi Fan was stupid and said to Su Er and the others over there: "Come, you can also pick one, ah, it is suitable for self-use and gifts." Second uncle, second uncle, do you want to have a string. "If I'm the second uncle, I'll kick him in the face, where do you say it's hanging?
When it came to the day of cleaning the mother oyster, we also arrived at the base early, looking at the busy crowd on both sides of the causeway, I couldn't help but feel the huge workload, some people dived into the water to carefully put the cage away, and someone was responsible for cleaning observation and recording.
I followed behind Shen Lingyi and asked her, "Aunt Shen, have you arranged it?"
Shen Lingyi nodded, "I let the children of the family be responsible for cleaning the upper grade mother shell, and when I put it back, a protective cage will be installed, and then a few target points will be arranged, and the person who overhauls the monitor will reposition the instrument, and they will transmit the surveillance video to your mobile phone when the time comes." ”
"Okay, I'll stare for two days and see. ”
Xi Fan pointed to the busy staff and asked, "Brother Li, do you want to play diving?"
"Diving in the farm, suitable?"
"Of course it's appropriate, the water quality in this area is the best, and it's not deep, and the field of vision after diving is quite open, so let's experience it." ”
"Forget it, just my old smoking gun, I can't reach that lung capacity, and I won't be able to float up in less than twenty seconds. ”
Xi Fan said with a smile: "They are all good water-based, just fishing for a mother shell, of course, they don't need any gas supply equipment, but we also have scuba water, and occasionally some long underwater operations can be used, you carry the gas cylinder down, can't you play to your heart's content." "Hey, it's so professional, I feel a little excited.
I turned my head and asked Su Er if she wanted to play, and Su Er glared at me and refused very simply. What kind of person, let you play and not let you sell your life, what are you staring at me for? Min Ziqin and Feng Feng showed some interest, so we were taken to the locker room to change into diving suits, Min Ziqin and I went down first, and Xi Fan took Feng Feng to play for a while.
When I came out of the locker room, I figured out why my daughter-in-law refused, she couldn't get this thing in, at least now it was enough to choke, even if she did, she didn't want to come out to meet people, okay, woman.
Someone specifically told us about the wearing of the equipment, because the water level here is very shallow and very safe, so there are not too many precautions at all. After making sure we could both swim, he just said it briefly.
Although it is not deep, but also avoid rapid snorkeling, after all, we still brought a gas cylinder, and there is no need to say any gestures when it is over, just one person gave a bracelet to wear, two buttons, one alarm and one lift. I asked him what he could see underneath, and if there could be no sharks.
The man thought for a moment, "Except for the cage, he should be a busy person." You can go up to the side a little, anyway, you can't throw it if there is a fence, you can see fish and the like in the place where there is no cage outside, remember to pay attention to the amount of gas, although it will come up as soon as you kick your legs, if there is a shark to tell me, I want to see it. "I heard it, and I was buried there.
