Song Tianming was doing an experiment, he looked at the things under the microscope seriously, recording something in the notebook from time to time, and he didn't notice that there was an extra person behind him.

Xiao Ping didn't bother Song Tianming, just stood quietly behind him, patiently waiting for Professor Song to finish the experiment. Speaking from the bottom of his heart, Xiao Ping still admires Song Tianming very much, not because he is Song Lei's elder, but because there are not many people like Song Tianming who are dedicated to research.

Song Tianming, who was dedicated to experiments, was busy for more than half an hour, and Xiao Ping waited for more than half an hour. It wasn't until Song Tianming inadvertently turned around and saw him that Xiao Ping's long wait was over.

Song Tianming has always had a good impression of Xiao Ping, and when he saw him, he was immediately surprised: "Xiao Xiao, when did you come, why didn't you call me?"

"Uncle Song is good. Xiao Ping said politely: "I've been here for a while, and I saw that you were doing experiments, so I didn't dare to disturb." ”

Xiao Ping's words made Song Tianming, a young man, look more and more pleasing to the eye, thinking of his relationship with his niece Song Lei, Song Tianming couldn't help but look at Xiao Ping and said, "Not bad, very good!"

"Uncle Song, what's good?" Xiao Ping asked puzzled.

"Oh...... I said it was nice to have the tea you asked Lei Lei to bring me last time. Song Tianming hurriedly covered up: "I have never drunk such a good tea, thank you, Xiao Xiao!"

"You're welcome, this tea is fried by myself in my spare time, just for you to taste. Full text" Xiao Ping gently brought the matter of tea, and then said to Song Tianming sincerely: "Actually, I came today because I have something to ask you." ”

In Song Tianming's impression, Xiao Ping was a person who was very enthusiastic about scientific research, and he was very happy to hear that he had something to ask him. He immediately replied: "If there is anything to ask, as long as I know the Tao, I must say everything." ”

Song Tianming's attitude also moved Xiao Ping very much, and he quickly continued: "That's the case, I want to engage in pearl farming recently, but I have encountered problems in the process of planting pearls......

Song Tianming is worthy of being a biology professor at NTU, and after patiently finishing Xiao Ping's words, he immediately thought of the crux of the problem. smiled at him and said, "I think the problem is still in the position of your beads." It is only possible to form pearls if they are planted in the middle of the mantle and shell of pearl oysters. If you put the sand elsewhere, the pearl oyster will be able to expel the foreign matter from the body. ”

"Outside...... Mantle?" Xiao Ping had no idea about these technical terms. Not to mention figuring out where the so-called mantle is in the pearl oyster.

Song Tianming was very patient with Xiao Ping, and smiled kindly: "What kind of pearl oyster do you raise? I can tell you where the mantle is." ”

Xiao Ping was prepared for this, and hurriedly patted the plastic box he was carrying and said, "I brought a few pearl oysters." I was about to ask you for advice. ”

Song Tianming was very satisfied with Xiao Ping's studious attitude, and smiled and motioned for him to take out the pearl oyster, while he himself went to prepare the tools for opening the shell. The tools in the university are much easier to use than the knockoffs that Xiao Ping learned from other people's pearl farms, Song Tianming opened the pearl oyster without much effort, and carefully explained the structure of this creature to Xiao Ping, the focus is to tell him where the mantle is and where the best place to plant beads is.

With the university professor personally explaining, Xiao Ping naturally benefited a lot, and finally understood the correct position of the seed beads after some study. This incident also made Xiao Ping very happy, fortunately he met Song Tianming. Otherwise, there is a high risk that the plan for cultured pearls will be aborted.

Song Tianming is also very busy, and being able to spare so much time to mention Xiao Ping shows how much he attaches importance to this young man. Xiao Ping also knew that Song Tianming's time was very tight, and he didn't continue to bother him after figuring out the correct location of the seed beads, and sincerely thanked Song Tianming. He politely took his leave.

Song Tianming didn't stay with Xiao Ping much, but gave him the set of tools that specially opened the shell of pearl oysters. With this set of tools, it will be much more convenient when planting beads, Xiao Ping was not polite to Song Tianming, and happily left with the tools.

After leaving Song Tianming's laboratory, Xiao Ping called Song Lei. Tell her she's leaving. Xiao Pepper was still with her friend, and said to him apologetically: "I'm really sorry, I really can't leave here, she was clamoring to cut her vein just now, it seems that she can't send you off." ”

Xiao Ping comforted Song Lei: "It's okay, you can accompany your friends well." ”

Song Lei whispered: "Next time you come to the provincial capital, I will definitely accompany you well." ”

Xiao Ping agreed with a smile, and hung up the phone after laughing a few more words with Xiao Pepper. Before returning to Su City, Xiao Ping contacted Zhang Yuxin again, and the two made an appointment to meet at a coffee shop near Zhang Yuxin's Xinya advertising agency. Xiao Ping asked Zhang Yuxin to have something important, just to give her a set of pearl jewelry. Zhang Yuxin helped a lot with the recruitment of new employees last time, and Xiao Ping took this opportunity to express his gratitude.

Although this set of pearl jewelry is worth tens of thousands, it is nothing to Zhang Yuxin. However, because it was given by Xiao Ping, she accepted it happily, and interviewed two accessories in front of Xiao Ping with great interest. However, compared with Song Lei, Zhang Yuxin is much more mature, so naturally she will not ask Xiao Ping if she looks good wearing a pearl necklace. Judging from Zhang Yuxin's expression, she is still very satisfied with this gift.

Zhang Yuxin was very busy with work, so naturally she couldn't chat with Xiao Ping for too long, so she hurried back to work soon. Xiao Ping returned to Su City by himself, and he was busy planting pearls for pearl oysters for the next few days.

After Song Tianming's careful guidance, Xiao Ping finally mastered the trick of planting beads. Coupled with the help of that set of special shell-opening tools, he also got twice the result with half the effort when planting beads, and everything went very smoothly.

Pearl farms use artificially made cores, all the size of a grain of rice. Although the speed of cultivating pearls in this way is much faster, the quality of pearls will definitely be affected. Different from the pearl farm, the core of Xiao Ping's pearl cultivation is the fine sand on the beach, which is exactly the same as the formation of natural pearls, and the quality of the pearls formed in the future will of course be better.

In these days, Xiao Ping planted pearls for pearl oysters as long as he was free, and in order to ensure that the quality of the cultivated pearls was good enough and large enough, Xiao Ping planted only one pearl in each pearl oyster. While this will undoubtedly affect the yield of pearls, it can make the resulting pearls larger and rounder more cost-effective.

Xiao Ping was tired of planting beads, so he rested on the beach and took the time to carve the jade leaves that were almost completed. After a few days of busy work, all the pearl oyster bead work was finally completed.
