Chapter 303: Betting on Pearls
After eating, it was only seven o'clock, and the fishing village was still very lively, with people coming and going.
The group was still wandering around the fishing village.
They also heard that there is a very interesting activity in the fishing village, and in the Lianhu area, in addition to industries such as Xianglian water chestnut fish farming, there is also pearl farming.
However, the pearl cultivation in Lianhu is not famous, mainly because the production is small, and there are not many suitable areas for breeding.
However, the quality of the pearls produced in Lianhu is not bad.
In order to attract tourists and enrich various projects, this pearl gambling activity has gradually flourished.
Of course, this kind of activity is limited to the Lianhu area.
The group came to the fishing village square.
This is the place to bet on pearls.
Moreover, in addition to betting on pearls, there are also various stalls selling various local products.
However, the most are still betting on pearl stalls.
At this moment, in the square like daytime, piles of people are surrounding the stalls.
The way to bet on pearls is very simple, the stall owner will choose some cultured pearl mussels, most of these mussels have pearls, the quantity is different, the quality is not the same, the stall owner will sell these pearl mussels at a specific price, tourists can spend money to buy, and then you can open the mussel shell on the spot, take out the pearls inside, as for what quality pearls will be obtained, it depends on luck.
There are often tourists who open high-quality pearls.
However, more than ninety percent of pearls are ordinary or even defective, and there are very few high-grade pearls.
Moreover, there is no way to judge the quality of pearls in pearl mussels, and it can only rely on luck.
Of course, it is not impossible to detect pearls in mussels, for example, some X-rays for fluoroscopy, it is completely fine. It's just that this kind of detection can only judge the presence of pearls, but not the quality of pearls, at least not technically.
"Let's buy a few too."
Ye Xinqi said with a smile, "I heard that this thing is all about luck, and it has no technical content compared to gambling stones." If you can open a high-grade pearl, you will make a lot of money. ”
The quality of pearls has a great impact on the price, and ordinary pearls are a few or dozens of pieces, if they are high-grade pearls, they are thousands or even thousands, and tens of thousands are possible.
"This must be coaxing, a piece of lake mussels costs dozens or hundreds of yuan, if there is no one in it, wouldn't it be a big loss."
Uncle Ye Linxuan shook his head and said.
For someone his age. It's really reluctant to spend dozens or hundreds of dollars to buy a piece of lake mussels that may have nothing.
Several other people were also a little hesitant, wanting to try, but also afraid of falling short, and the money was wasted.
"Play or play, I'll pay for it."
Ye Feng said with a smile.
As he spoke, he took out his wallet and pulled out ten red bills. "Let's pick one for each of us, and see which of us is lucky."
Now that Ye Feng appeared. The others naturally had no opinion, and they all became interested, and Dad didn't say anything, he wouldn't care about this, if Mom was here, seeing Ye Feng wasting money so much. I'm afraid I'm going to nag right away.
Soon, nine people crowded into the crowd.
On the ground are three rows of large frames filled with some water and piled with lake mussels.
The lake mussels in the three rows of large frames are of different sizes and are divided into three grades. The largest on the right costs 100 yuan, the smallest on the left costs 30 yuan each, and the middle one is 50 yuan each.
The size of the lake mussel still has some influence on the quality of the pearl, at least the large lake mussel has more space to breed larger pearls.
Soon, the crowd began to choose.
Ye Feng stood directly in front of the frame of a hundred yuan, and picked up a lake mussel, which was really big, at least two or three catties each.
Suddenly, Ye Feng's heart moved, could he use his spiritual consciousness to detect the situation inside this lake mussel?
Thinking of this, his spiritual consciousness moved, and it had already penetrated into the river mussel.
His current spiritual consciousness can release three inches when it is released, which is equivalent to about ten centimeters, which is enough to detect the situation inside the river mussel.
Gradually, the image inside the mussel shell appeared in his mind.
It's a strange feeling, like an extra pair of eyes.
A pair of eyes that are pervasive.
And in terms of visual effect, it is incomparable to the naked eye, more delicate, and you can see a more microscopic scene.
Finally, under the detection of his spiritual consciousness, Ye Feng saw a few bead-like things in the mussel shell, which should be pearls.
However, judging from the detection situation, these beads are not rounded and the shape is not very good.
He had already checked that the quality of pearls was related to shape, size, luster, bead thickness, finish, color, etc.
Obviously, the pearls in this lake mussel, judging from the shape alone, are not very good.
He just put down this lake mussel and then looked at the second one.
With the experience of the first time, the second and third probes are simpler.
As long as it is too small and not in good shape, he will simply discard it.
In the end, he chose two lake mussels.
Of course, it is only the shape and size of the judgment, as for the other aspects, there is no standard for the time being, and it is impossible to judge in detail, so he must verify it well.
Others have already chosen.
There were ten in all, five hundred, and five fifty.
A total of seven hundred and fifty dollars.
After giving the money, the next step is to open the mussel shell.
There is a person who specializes in opening the shell next to it, of course, you can also open it yourself, or take it back to open it.
However, there is also skill in opening the shell, otherwise in the process of opening the shell, it is easy to hurt the pearls inside.
The first one to go up and open the shell was Ye Xinqi, a big lake mussel he picked out, which looked very beautiful.
When the mussel opened, his face collapsed, and there were five pearls, one ordinary and four defective. And the ordinary pearl is also small, estimated to be only a few dollars, as for those defective products, no one wants them.
In other words, this lake mussel is a gamble.
The next few people are almost the same, especially Brother Hui, who is even less lucky, there is not even a pearl in it.
The best luck belongs to my father, who opened three ordinary pearls and two defective pearls, which should be worth a hundred dollars, which is considered to be a return to the capital, of course, it is only a return to the capital.
In the end, only Ye Feng remained.
Ye Feng handed the two lake mussels to the master who opened the shell.
The old master moved very neatly, and soon opened a mussel shell, revealing three pearls inside, one of which was not small and very round, and the other two were much worse.
"Hehe, you're lucky, although they are all ordinary pearls, but this one, whether it is the volume or the shape, is not bad, it should be worth two or three hundred yuan."
The old master smiled.
Ye Feng also smiled and picked up the pearl, as for the other two, they were both defective, and they were directly thrown into the trash can by the old master.
"It's only two or three hundred, so add it up, so many of us have opened pearls, haven't we even returned to Ben?"
Ye Xinqi said very depressedly.
Ten mussels cost seven hundred and fifty dollars, and now the pearls are worth less than four hundred.
There is still a pearl from Ye Feng as the base, otherwise it will be more lost.
"I still have a piece here, maybe I can get it back."
Ye Feng said with a smile.
At this time, the master had already opened the second piece of lake mussels
