As soon as the box was placed on the table and opened, it was suddenly dazzling. Boxes of pearls were almost full, each round and smooth, and though they were of various sizes, the smallest of them were larger than the largest they had seen in the fish market today.

A few people counted them, and there were one hundred and fifty-two of them, in addition to white, pink and black, all of which were not only round but also almost flawless, and could shine a shadow. Three of them were twice as big as the others.

Liu Heng and An Ruyi directly accepted all these pearls, except for the three that were collected at the price of three hundred taels of silver, and the rest were all collected at one fifteen taels of silver. calculated a total of 3,135 taels of silver, and the two of them directly gave 3,200 taels of silver tickets, and bluntly said that the rest was the hard work of tomorrow's family to take the two of them to sea.

Looking at the whole stack, each of the silver tickets of one hundred taels, the second child and the father were stunned.

Their pearls here have always been sold by the bucket, this kind of big they sell directly to the shop, a bucket can only be sold for about fifty taels, the high can be sold for seventy or eighty taels is already rare, and the merchant he met when he was young once received his best pearls at the price of two hundred taels a bucket.

If the pearls they took out this time were only five or six taels according to the bucket theory, even if the price of one bucket was two hundred taels, it would only be one thousand two hundred taels of silver at most, not to mention that there would be an extra two thousand taels of silver at once. In fact, even the previous price point is only what they usually think about occasionally. And now it turned out to be

"Those who are all over Luo Qi are not silkworm breeders." Liu Heng sighed in his heart. Looking at their stunned appearance, they didn't know what they were thinking, the price he gave was higher than the price of the pearls they had here, but they didn't know that they took these pearls back, not to mention anything else, only those three could be worth thousands of taels, or there was no price. So he didn't mind giving them more pearl divers.

"Will the two nobles give too much? Our pearls don't really cost that much. It is not measured by the grain, but by the bucket. ”

In addition, the second child said with a trill, he was afraid that after the two of them went back, they would find that they had spent a high price, and if they got it back, there would be more rights and wrongs. For these nobles, they can't really afford to mess with them.

"Rest assured, these pearls are worth the price." Liu Heng said bluntly, "Actually, the price we directly charged from your shop here is about the same, and we didn't give more." If you have relatives and friends with strict mouths who have such good quality pearls, you can also bring them, and I will take them at this price. ”

Besides, the second child was excited, yes, Liu Heng's words reminded him that this matter cannot be leaked, otherwise those people in the shop will definitely not be able to spare them, they can be regarded as a tiger's mouth. It seems that in the future, the eldest son will be involved in this matter at most. Others are afraid that it will not be easy for them to know the true price of these pearls.

"I also have an eldest son, who also makes a living from pearl diving, and I am afraid that there are some good pearls at home, I don't know if you want it?" The second child said tentatively.

"Yes."

"Then please wait, I'll go and ask him to bring the pearl." The second child was overjoyed, and hurried all the way back, but the kung fu of a stick of incense really brought a man who looked a little similar to his father, and he was happy when he came in and saw Liu Heng and An Ruyi.

The second son of the state introduced that this is his eldest son named Guo Da Niu, and Guo Zhu'er's father is his third son named Guo Sanniu.

When the big cow opened a package that he was carrying, he was fine, and there were one hundred and twenty-three pearls, and there were two pearls in the condition of three hundred and one taels, so he also got two thousand four hundred and fifteen taels of silver, and Liu Heng directly gave him two thousand four hundred taels of silver and one fifteen taels of silver.

Then they made an appointment with Guo Sanniu to see each other the next day, and Liu Heng and An Ruyi said goodbye and left.

The second son looked at the eldest son who was counting the silver tickets, and couldn't help but say to the two sons with a stern face: "You have all remembered it for me, and this matter must not be leaked in the future." Don't drink a few sips of cat urine when you go out later, just spit it out. Besides, the second child bitterly told the two of them about the powerful relationship again. The two brothers finally really realized the severity of the matter.

The big cow put away the money and said to the second child: "Dad, we are not stupid, this kind of thing must be hidden and hidden in the future, and no one else will know." ”

Sanniu also nodded again and again, and after this incident, the two brothers were even more convinced of their father. If it weren't for the old father's previous instructions to let them hide the good beads and not sell them to the shop, they wouldn't be able to get these many good beads even if they met a nobleman.

"Third child, you have to remember to take the nobles around tomorrow, don't just care about pearl diving and neglect others." The second child was finally relieved and did not forget to explain to his son.

"Dad, don't worry." Needless to say, Sanniu knows what to do.

Besides, Da Niu took out the fifteen taels of scattered silver and put it on the table, "Third brother, the person was brought back by Zhu'er, and she can be regarded as a great hero of our two families, these are the private money I gave her, you let her put it away by herself." ”

"How does this work?" In addition, Sanniu refused again and again, and in the end, the second son directly asked the third son to accept it, and asked Zhu'er to collect the silver directly, and Sanniu reluctantly accepted it.

When the second child and the big cow were gone, the Sanniu family plugged in the door and surrounded the hall, and the third cow took out the silver ticket and the ingot of gold and handed it to his mother-in-law, and then told the process in detail, and finally gave the fifteen taels of silver given by the big cow to the pearl to collect, and the family was very happy. The mother-in-law of the three cows, Ge's direct recitation of the Buddha.

Guo Zhu'er remembered the box of beads that An Ruyi gave herself, and took it out to open it for her family to see, there were twelve beads, not only delicate like real flowers, but also the buds of the flowers were inlaid with small and scattered gemstones, and everyone opened their eyes wide.

When Liu Heng and An Ruyi appeared the next day, the enthusiasm of the family was extraordinary, and it was more than ten times more than the previous day. Guo Zhu'er also got up early and baked several thick stacks of scallion pancakes, let her family take them, and eat them as the staple food with Liu Heng and An Ruyi at noon.

also boiled fish porridge and boiled eggs for breakfast for the two.

The fish porridge was rich in flavor and smooth in the mouth, but there was no fishy smell, An Ruyi couldn't help but sigh in the face of this little girl who was particularly talented in cooking, it was really a master in the folk.

This time, the two wanted to give money again, but the family refused to accept it. (To be continued.) )
