Chapter 11: Merlot Beads (2)

Although Li Miao had seen those so-called pearl mussels a few times when she was in Linxian before, she was still young at that time, and her heart was not there. It's just that when I pass by, I see many southerners with foreign accents on the street, and there are many sea mussels the size of two adult palms selling there.

Is that kind of sea mussel really a pearl mussel? Li Miao has not yet reached a conclusion.

And in front of her, whether it is or not, Li Miao does not have the corresponding knowledge base to solve her doubts. It's just that when I saw these mussels in front of me, they seemed to be smaller than the ones I saw when I was a child.

Each mussel is about the size of an adult man's palm. Some are slightly larger, others are slightly smaller. The outer skin is black or tan and looks a little dirty, but very thick. The shape is not an ellipse that I have seen before, it is almost triangular.

I don't know if it's because of the fright, the muzzles of these mussels are closed.

If you look at it from the outside, you can't see the pearl inside, so how do you pick it?

Li Miao was confused, and not long after she gathered at this stall, many idlers who had been passing by on the street also came over as if they were bustling.

Many of them heard what the proprietress just said, thirty yuan a piece, is not expensive. It's nothing to play once. But these people are greedy for money, and no one wants to pick one that can produce big pearls. And this proprietress said beautifully, but whether to admit it for a while or not is two different things, so everyone just can't look at it for a while.

A few of them were still urging Li Miao over there: "Don't care about those, how can you see anything from the outside, just pick one?"

"Where can I pick and choose? Girl, listen to me, choose the biggest one. In the shell, the pearl inside will be big. Otherwise, there will be no place to grow for a long time. ”

The person who said this was a middle-aged man, tall and large.

Li Miao glanced back at him and thought: This uncle, I'm picking pearls, not pigs, what's the use of being big?

What's more, others don't know, but Li Miao understands: the reason why she plays this is not because of pearls at all, but because of this inexplicable coolness.

It's just that this coolness doesn't seem to come from these sea mussels that this lady fished up this time.

This feeling made Li Miao feel strange, is there no pearl in these mussels? Or does this kind of coolness have nothing to do with these mussels at all?

Thinking of this, Li Miao raised her head and asked the proprietress, "Boss, do I fish for myself?"

The proprietress paused for a moment, then smiled again, and shoved the net bag in her hand in front of her: "Okay, you can fish it up." Be careful, just don't break it, these guys aren't dead things, they're squeamish. ”

When these words came out, Li Hua raised his eyes and looked at the proprietress . But she didn't say anything, but continued to watch Miao Miao play, which she rarely liked.

After Li Miao thanked him, he took the net bag and began to fish in the water.

The water in this tank is a little darker, but it's still clear. Looking at it from above, the mussels in the half jar inside are densely packed together. If you look at the skin alone, you can't tell which one is special. So Li Miaocai has to fish it herself.

She held the handle of the net bag, letting the mesh gently glide over the mussel shells.

In order to be able to sense the sea mussels in this tank more comprehensively, Li Miao took the flat S route. Start from the bottom right and work your way up layer by layer. It's a pity that there was no feeling in the past on the first floor, and there was no special situation in the second row, the third row, the fourth row, until the net pocket was squeezed almost to the upper left corner of the water tank, Li Miao suddenly felt a strong coldness.

Got it!

Right here.

As she flipped through her pocket, she felt two or three things fall into her pocket.

And there seems to be a guy among them who exudes a faint coldness.

Li Miao was so excited that her liver was pounding, but she had to tell herself that she was calm and calm, and she must not let others find out that something was wrong. She had to get her hands on it at the least cost. Anyway, she has already paid the money, even if this clam looks different, it can only be hers.

With the sound of water, Li Miao's net pocket finally surfaced.

It's just that when the net pocket came out of the water, Li Miao, or the people gathered around the stall to watch the excitement, and even the proprietress herself was stunned.

Because: uh...... In the net pocket that has just been scooped up, in addition to two inconspicuous pearl mussels, there is also a conch that is not yellow and not black?

The tall man just now was happy when he saw it, pointed to the conch and smiled: "Is this also your pearl mussel?"

It's okay not to say this, but the people around me just made the sudden conch a little confused for a while. But as soon as these words came out, there was an immediate burst of laughter from the crowd of onlookers.

Even the proprietress was embarrassed: "What are you laughing at? What is so strange about this? My pearls are all raised in the sea pool, and if you go down in a net, what will you get in? Next time, the old lady will bring you some little squid to come and see, that thing is rare." ”

Someone in the crowd immediately coaxed: "Boss, don't want the little squid, if there is a small octopus, give me two catties." ”

"Yes, yes, instead of raising these pearl mussels that no one wants, you should raise baby octopus, which is delicious and easy to sell. Pull a car and go to the night, and I promise to eat it all for you in half an hour. ”

It's obviously a pearl mussel seller, but after calling for a long time, I don't know how to run to the night market.

Li Miao didn't care how those people called next to him.

In Li Miao's opinion, the less these people pay attention to her, the better. The more she took the opportunity, the more she caught the conch in her hand.

She wanted to see what was so strange about this conch?

What makes her feel so special?

But what Li Miao couldn't have imagined was that she had just grabbed the conch in her left hand, but the coolness was swishing...... It's gone!

The coldness around him turned into nothingness in an instant.

The temperature rose quickly, and Li Miao soon felt the temperature of the sun.

What the hell is going on?

"Miaomiao, what's wrong with you?"

Li Hua saw that her daughter's face was wrong, so she hurriedly came up and patted her.

Li Miao hurriedly came back to his senses: "Mom, I'm fine." It is...... This thing, it seems, is not alive. ”

Li Hua's mother didn't understand this, but the proprietress came over to take a look when she heard it: "It's okay, it's just a useless conch." It's not worth much, little girl, if you like it, take it back and play with it. Come on, hurry up and pick one. You're so lucky, I have so many things in this tank, I don't even know there's such a thing in it, and you're going to go down the net and get around. With your luck, you will definitely be able to unravel a big bead today. Little girl, pick quickly. ”

The proprietress yelled and drank more interestingly than just now, but Li Miao was no longer interested.

glanced at the two pearl mussels in the net, and pointed to one casually: "That's it." Boss, open it for me. ”
