Chapter 109: Beading
Bukhara's face was relatively immature, he looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, but his height and body shape were nearly eighteen years old, and he was tall and fat. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
He has an inch head, short and thick eyebrows, small eyes, a relatively rare nose facing the sky, and a big mouth always with a smile, giving people a simple and gentle feeling.
is also a more conspicuous person in the reef area, Luo You noticed Buhara, whose characteristic appearance and body shape are very similar to the examiner of the first hunter test after the plot began in the original book.
After that, Luo went to contact Bukhara, and only confirmed his guess after learning the name.
Buharat had also come to take part in the hunter test, but he had come to Mafando a month earlier.
After arriving in Mafando, his travel expenses were almost on the cost of the room, and after learning of the existence of drifting shells, he used the last bit of money to rent a net and catch drifting shells in the reef area every day, which was his daily food.
This guy is not very lucky, he can catch a lot of drifting shells every day, but the pearls can only be regarded as average, and the money in exchange is basically used to maintain the house fee and the rent of the net.
The reason why he insists on eating drift shells every day is that on the one hand, the only seafood he can get is drift shells, and on the other hand, after Luo got him a chilled thin slice of shellfish, he was out of control and pestered Luo every day to help him cut shellfish meat.
The two walked on the street of Ma Fanduo, and they could see gambling stalls along the way.
A variety of drifting shells of different grades are placed on the table for buyers to choose, and the price of a drifting shell is as low as 50,000 rings, but it is generally more than 100,000 yuan.
At this time, it is the busiest time of the day, and many people gather at various gambling booths.
One after another, some people selected the drifting shells, paid to open the shellfish, and in just a few minutes, they could know whether they were making money or losing money.
After the rise of gambling shells, the meat of drifting shells was gradually replaced by the value of pearls, and now there are very few people like Bukhara who come for meat.
Some time ago, a lucky young man opened a few black pearls the size of a thumbnail, which were bought on the spot by a jewelry merchant for seven million rings.
The young man was so happy that he couldn't take it anymore, so he threw seven million nuns into gambling on shellfish, and as a result, he lost everything and became one of the shellfish fishers in the reef area.
This phenomenon is not uncommon in Mafando.
Luo originally wanted to play with gambling shells to see if he could make a beautiful purple pearl, and then he could bring it back to March.
However, during this time, he has been practicing boat racing, and this guy Buharat automatically sends twenty or thirty drifting shells every day, so he does not participate in gambling shells.
Dozens of drifting shells are opened every day, and there are a lot of pearls, but they are not valuable goods.
After the prevalence of gambling shells, Ma Fanduo can open a lot of pearls every day, as the so-called rare is expensive, the more ordinary pearls open, the price is naturally lower and lower, only the pearls with rare color and good appearance are valuable goods.
Walk through the bustling streets and come to a quiet residential area.
Luo led Bukhara back to the grandmother's house.
In the courtyard, the grandmother sat on the edge of the door, weaving fishing nets, while Sambika helped.
The two walked into the courtyard, and Bukhara came to the well in the courtyard with ease, threw the drifting shells on the edge of the well, and began to draw water from the well without Luo instructing him.
"How's the boat racing?" the old woman stopped what she was doing and looked up at Luo with a faint smile on her face.
"Almost. Law smiled.
The old lady nodded slightly, and said with emotion: "After outsiders come to Ma Fanduo, few people will be willing to practice boat racing, but they are all attracted by gambling shells, and they don't want to think about how to get on when the boat comes." ”
"Boat racing is still very difficult to practice. Luo smiled bitterly, he had to capsize the boat many times before he could barely grasp it.
"Can you practice the art of eating?" the old woman glared.
Luo said weakly: "You also know that it is difficult to practice, if I am not interested, I will give up after practicing for a few days." ”
"There is no harm in learning more skills, because it is too difficult to give up, and it will be like that for the rest of your life. The old lady said.
"You're right!"
Luo is like a good student, with a very good attitude, but he sees Sambika casting a pitiful gaze.
The grandmother asked Sambika to learn how to weave fishing nets with her skills.
If it weren't for the grandmother being alone, Luo would really think that the grandmother wanted to bring Sambika into the door as a granddaughter-in-law.
Sensing Sambica's gaze, Law pretended not to see it, and he suspected that if it weren't for the boat racing, maybe the old grandmother would have to let him learn to weave fishing nets.
No matter what, Sambika can't be saved, so to speak, he can't help it.
Seeing Luo pretending not to see it, Sambika was quite helpless.
"Luo, get ready. ”
At this time, Bukhara, who had fetched a large bucket of water, could not wait to shout.
"Open them all. ”
Luo walked to the well, half-crouched down and looked at the thirty-one drifting shells arranged neatly on the ground.
Each shell is the size of a washbasin, and the shell surface is slightly flattened, dark purple in color, and quite dark in color.
He has already eaten the meat of drifting shells, and the data has only increased by 0.1%, which is not the average, and the effect is pitifully low.
Buhara rubbed his hands, directly used brute force to break the drifting shell, and after breaking one, he rushed to the next.
Luo was picking up pearls, picking out pearls from the light yellow shell flesh, and still in the basin next to him.
The value of a pearl depends on its luster, color, size, and the presence or absence of surface defects and shape.
The pearls dug up from the Drift Berry are basically the same, and occasionally they are both shiny and good-looking, but the color is too common and the value is not very high.
After digging up more than a dozen pearls, Luo suddenly dug out a natural black pearl from a drifting berry, which was of the highest quality in terms of appearance, size, and color, and there was no defect on the surface.
Seeing this beautiful black pearl, Sambica's eyes immediately appeared in Law's mind...
"What beautiful beads. Bukhara was also attracted by the black pearl and immediately stopped.
When the old grandmother and Sambika heard the voice, they both looked at the black pearl in Luo's hand.
"Good luck. The old lady stared at the black pearl and said, "It's been a long time since I've seen a black pearl in such good condition." ”
"Bukhara, continue to open shells. ”
Luo paused, let Buhara continue, and then walked up to Sambika, handed the black pearl over, and said simply, "I've sent you." ”
Sambika was stunned when she heard this, and a touch of ridicule flashed in the eyes of the old grandmother on the side, and she said lightly: "Xiao Sang, according to our custom here, if a man gives you a beautiful pearl, you must have to go next." ”
The man sent the beads, and the woman braided the beads, and then it became a token of love, which the grandmother did not say.
"Is that so..."
Sambika came back to her senses, did not doubt him, slowly took the pearl, and then looked at it carefully, and was a little happy.
After seeing Sambica's subordinate Black Pearl, Law ran to the well again.
He felt that his luck would be very good today, as long as he dug up another purple pearl, it would be perfect, and he could take it to give to March when the time came.
Purple is Marchi's favorite color and corresponds to her hair color, while black pearls are as beautiful as Sambica's eyes, so it's the perfect gift for her.
When Luo turned around and walked away, the old grandmother looked at Sambika and said seriously: "Xiao Sang, I see that you have learned almost everything about how to weave nets, so let's start teaching you how to weave beads." ”
"Huh?"
Sambika was dumbfounded, she hadn't finished weaving nets, and now she was knitting beads again.
