In the studio on the second floor of the Blue Sea Star Store, Jiang Yichen handed a bucket of new varieties of pearl mussels to Xiaojia's sister.

Su Xiaojia had never seen this kind of female mussel, so she searched the Internet according to her morphological characteristics, but she didn't find an accurate answer for a while.

Jiang Yichen estimated that this fan-shaped mussel may be a relatively rare species, and the professional information on the Internet is limited, so it is normal to not be able to find it, so it is clear to mention yì and open it directly.

Su Xiaojia stopped, nodded, and then got up and began to prepare for the operation of taking live mussels and pearls.

After a while, a rectangular stainless steel tray was placed on the workbench, in which a full set of professional tools such as shell openers, scalpels, curved needles, small wood chips, cotton wool, alcohol bottles, tweezers, and small flashlights were placed.

The process of extracting pearls from this kind of live mussel is very troublesome, energy-consuming, and has high technical requirements. But Su Xiaojia believes that beautiful pearls are the essence of the ocean, a precious gift from nature to human beings, and it is already a very happy thing to get it, how can she bear to hurt the mother mussel that has been pregnant with pearls for many years? So she has stubbornly insisted on doing so.

"I'll help you."

Jiang Yichen said, rolled up his sleeves and went to the faucet to wash his hands, and sat down next to Su Xiaojia as before.

Since the opening of Blue Starfish, because Jiang Yichen has given up power, he has stayed on Yunsha Island for a long time. The two hadn't been so close for a long time, Su Xiaojia was a little uncomfortable, her delicate face was slightly red, but she didn't make any repulsive moves.

A wisp of familiar fragrance wafted into his nose, and Jiang Yichen couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Looking at the delicate silhouette of the girl's side, he suddenly felt an urge to take her into his arms.

Calm down. Calm, it seems to be very abrupt. He quickly took two deep breaths to suppress his restless thoughts.

Next, the bead extraction work officially begins.

The same procedure, the large mussel is first illuminated against the lit table lamp, then placed on the operating table, inserted from the back end of the abdominal margin of the mussel with a shell opener, slowly stretched open and plugged to fix it, so that its double shell cannot be closed.

She Su Xiaojia took the round-headed thin sheet paddle and reached into the crack of the shell, carefully and slowly dialing it.

Jiang Yichen turned on the switch of the small flashlight and shone it into the shell.

Then. Through the flashlight column. At the same time, the two found several small black balls in the big mussel.

Strange, based on experience, this mussel should be in stock, but how can the color be so dark? It's completely different from what it used to be.

Su Xiaojia seemed to remember something. Her breathing became a little rapid. There was also a slight sweat on his forehead.

But the hand remains steady. Like an experienced surgeon.

Use a paddle to push the visceral mass of the mussel to the side without beads, then use a curved needle to fix the pearl, and change the scalpel to make an accurate cut on the pearl sac. With a gentle push, a round ball is squeezed out of the pearl sac.

Then change the tweezers to pick it up, only to hear a crisp sound, Jiang Yichen looked at it, and saw that there was a wet black ball on the plate.

It turned out to be a black pearl! This immediately surprised him.

Su Xiaojia couldn't help but let out a hum sound, obviously there were also fluctuations. After a pause, she lowered the beads into the stainless steel sink next to her before placing them back on the plate.

It was only at this moment that the full picture of the black beads was presented under the eyes of the two.

The black pearl, which is about 11 or 2 millimeters in diameter, is drop-shaped, emitting a deep purple iridescent halo under the illumination of the flashlight, which is moist and moving.

Su Xiaojia's eyes widened, her eyes revealed excitement, she hummed again, and then used tweezers to pick up the black pearl and change the angle to view.

As the angle changes, the luster on the surface of the black pearl also changes, and it is colorful and mysterious, like a dream.

"It's a black pearl, it's so beautiful!" She grabbed a piece of copy paper from her desk and quickly scribbled a line on it.

"yes, it's so beautiful, it's rare." Jiang Yichen looked at this elegant and atmospheric black pearl and admired it sincerely.

Su Xiaojia dragged the laptop over again, skillfully and continuously typing on the keyboard, and the relevant information was soon displayed on the screen.

Jiang Yichen approached and watched with her.

Black pearls are undoubtedly a shining wonder in the pearl world, basically produced by a female mussel called a black lipped oyster. According to the data, there are only two main natural origins: one is the island of Tahiti in the Polynesian archipelago, which produces 95% of the world's black pearls; The second is Penlin Island and Majuhiki Island in the Cook Islands, which account for 4 percent of the total production.

Tahiti, in particular, is home to a unique sea spirit with its beautiful scenery and warm, pure waters.

In addition to the above two places, the rest of the world produces very few black pearls, and according to legend, there is only one in 10,000 on average. Except, of course, in captivity.

It is reported that natural black lipped oysters have also been found in the South China Sea area of China, but the number is small and scattered and does not form a community, and the mining value of the guide zhì is limited.

As the saying goes, scarcity is expensive, and the world of pearls is no exception. Due to its scarce production and beautiful appearance, black pearls have easily been recognized and sought after all over the world, and frequently appear in various fashion jewelry and luxury goods shows or auctions, attracting the attention of countless people.

Compared with pearls of other colors and similar qualities, the value of natural black pearls is several times higher, and any ordinary color costs one or two thousand yuan, and a black pearl with a diameter of about 12 millimeters is nearly round and high-quality, and the price is as high as six or seven thousand, and a single bead of tens of thousands of yuan also abounds. Therefore, it is mainly aimed at the more affluent consumer customer group.

I didn't expect that the pearl mussel habitat on the seabed in the southwest corner of Yunsha Island could also grow such a precious black lipped oyster, which is really a treasure. Seeing this, Jiang Yichen sighed secretly in his heart.

However, although the name of this black lipped oyster has a black letter, the color is not the same, in fact, there are only three kinds of light gray, dark gray and silver gray.

"Okay, let's look back at the information slowly, let's continue to take the pearls, how uncomfortable it is to let this female clam open her mouth all the time." He smiled and said to the little girl who was staring intently at the computer screen.

Su Xiaojia woke up like a dream, she hurriedly pushed the computer away, took the tools, and continued the work of taking the beads.

Beads of different sizes appeared in stainless steel trays one after another, all the way up to the seventh. The paddle and probe in Su Xiaojia's hand searched all over the female mussel to confirm that nothing was missing, then released the shell opener, and then carved a circle mark on the shell of the female mussel with a knife, and then put the female mussel back to the bucket.

Jiang Yichen grabbed the second light gray female mussel from the bucket and repeated the procedure just now.

It wasn't until the sixth female mussel that the two of them stopped to rest.

Of the six female mussels, only one was empty, and the others were harvested. The stainless steel tray on the table is already covered with large and small black pearls, ranging in size from eight or nine millimeters to fifteen or six millimeters.

After a rough inventory, nearly seventy beads have been removed. Among them, there are five large ones with a particle size of about 15 millimeters, and what is even more surprising is that the shape of these five beads is nearly round, and the condition is quite good, which can be relatively rare in the black pearl family.

There are also some deformed beads of crooked melon cracked jujube, but the proportion is not large, which shows that the quality of this batch of selected black lipped oysters is quite high.

Under the warm light of the table lamp, the black pearls on the plate reveal a variety of rainbow colors such as purple, pink, and sea blue, and a few of them are the most unique, that is, the brilliant and precious peacock green. These colors are a natural reflection of nature, coming together to make them a sight to behold.

According to the data, the surface of the highest grade black pearl can glow with a metallic light color, and can clearly illuminate the human figure. Although these beads in front of me are not yet reachable for the time being, it is estimated that they will be very promising after being nourished by space ice water in the later stage.

"Hey, with these goods, this time the blue starfish can be upgraded." Jiang Yichen looked at the treasures in front of him and said happily.

Su Xiaojia took a towel and wiped the fine beads of sweat on her forehead, and her face became red because of her excitement.

Don't look at the fact that only six black lipped mussels are opened, but this work is quite energy-consuming, and the operation requires full attention, and a little carelessness of the scalpel can cause fatal injuries to the female mussel. (To be continued)
