This girl is really kind-hearted, smart and studious, which is really rare. Jiang Yichen looked at Su Xiaojia's busy and clever back, and thought secretly.

After the preparations were completed, Su Xiaojia sat on the chair in front of the stage and began to perform the bead removal operation. Jiang Yichen didn't understand this, so he could only be an assistant on the side.

Su Xiaojia took a large mussel, first shone it on the table lamp, then put it on the operating table, inserted it from the back end of the abdominal edge of the mussel with a shell opener, slowly stretched it open and plugged it to fix it, so that its double shell could not be closed.

She stretched out her finger and pointed at the small flashlight, and she reached into the crack of the shell with a round-tipped flake pick, carefully and slowly flicking.

Jiang Yichen understood, pulled another chair, sat next to her, turned on the switch of the small flashlight and shone it into the pearl mussel.

Because the two were very close to each other, a faint fragrance wafted into his nose, which made Jiang Yichen feel uneasy, and then quickly retracted.

After a moment, Su Xiaojia shook her head and signaled that there were no beads in this shell.

The stopper and shell opener are then loosened and the mussels are returned to the bucket. Jiang Yichen hurriedly dialed it to a corner to save confusion.

Another one, it is still the procedure of opening the shell and plugging and fixing. As the flashlight shone and explored with the paddle, Su Xiaojia nodded, indicating that this was only the goods.

Then the real operation begins, first using a paddle to move the mussel's viscera to the side without beads, then using a curved needle to fix the pearl, changing the scalpel to cut a wound on the pearl sac, and gently pushing, the beads are squeezed out of the pearl sac.

Then I changed the tweezers and grabbed it, only to hear a crisp sound, and a round pink pearl fell into the stainless steel tray.

"Wow. It's a big bead, it's so beautiful. Jiang Yichen looked at this one with a diameter of more than one centimeter. In the reflection of the light, the pearl that shimmered pink sè and lustrous couldn't help but praise.

Su Xiaojia glanced at Fan Sè Pearl, revealing an excited gaze, and then continued the work in hand.

At this time, she was like a doctor doing surgery, her lips were pursed, and her expression was focused. Perhaps because of the heat, a fine bead of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Jiang Yichen saw this. Hurriedly took a towel from the rails and wiped it for her.

Su Xiaojia was a little embarrassed, but her hands were occupied, so she had to do it.

She then squeezed out the pearl sac one by one according to the method she had just done, and after harvesting, she restored the mother mussel to its original state and put it back in the bucket.

Over time. More and more pearls are taken out and placed in another tray.

The big mussels I got this time did not disappoint the two, and the quality was very high. Most of them contain pearls, and the pink sè and white sè are the main ones, and the proportion of the shape is perfectly round or nearly round.

There are more than a dozen of them with a diameter of more than one centimeter. The luster and iridescence are also very sè. The three largest of them have a diameter of 14 millimeters and are in excellent condition, and according to the information on the Internet, it is estimated that the price of a single piece can reach 5 or 6,000 yuan. Of course, this is the merchant's selling price. The acquisition market is unknown.

Apart from these, the others are between six millimeters and one centimeter in diameter. There are 60 or 70 pieces of jewelry that can be used to make zuò. The harvest is very rewarding.

Others that are small but in good shape can be used as matching beads. As for the rest of the deformed waste beads, you can also grind pearl powder, which also has their uses.

Such a meticulous way of taking the beads is quite time-consuming and labor-intensive. Su Xiaojia took a break halfway, and finally it was not fully completed until more than ten o'clock.

Aunt Wu finished the work in the store and went into the house to take a look. The large number of pearls that glowed in the light made her eyes glow.

She had never seen so many pearls, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes were stretched.

Jiang Yichen went to the bathroom to get a basin to draw water and clean all the beads.

Su Xiaojia went to her room to find a tin box for pastries and padded it with crimson flannel.

Carefully wipe the jewelry pearls one by one with a soft cloth and then put them in. The rest of the waste beads are also dried and received in a plastic bag.

The texture of pearls is very soft, the hardness is lower than the dust in the air, and it is easy to cause wear and scratches in contact with hard objects, and it is afraid of acids and alkalis, and cannot be exposed to the sun or in a heated high temperature environment. Extreme care should be taken in preservation.

Su Xiaojia handed the tin box to Jiang Yichen, who shook his head again and again.

"Xiaojia, these are still up to you, I'm careless, maybe I'll forget where I threw them. Also, I heard that pearls need to be maintained regularly, otherwise they will fade, and I don't bother to do that. Jiang Yichen's reasons are very sufficient.

Su Xiaojia thought for a while and felt that it seemed to make sense, so she took back the tin box. And in sign language, she explained that she would take good care of these beads and put them together with the last ones.

For sign language, Jiang Yichen can only understand some of the simple words and sentences so far, and the complex ones have to rely on Mrs. Wu's translation.

"Auntie, I have another idea. Xiaojia girl likes shells, pearls, these things, ingenious, and quite talented in art, I think she always works in this spicy hot shop, it's really not interesting. It's better to wait for some riddles, let's get a small marine handicraft shop for her to run and be a manager, what do you think? Jiang Yichen pondered for a moment, and brought out his thoughts and thoughts some time ago.

"Craft shop? That's good, but we haven't done it before, so what should we do if we lose money? Besides, there is a shortage of people in the store, so I can't leave. ”

Aunt Wu was stunned when she heard this, but after thinking about it a little, she also thought it was a very good idea. Her granddaughter was brought up by her since she was a child, and of course she knows very well that making shell crafts is obviously much more suitable than Malatang.

But she is a very practical person, and she is very worried about the state of operation in this unfamiliar industry.

"Auntie, everything has a first step, how do you know if you don't try it? Let's talk about a small shop, even if you don't do it well, how much can you lose? It's a big deal. I think, the quality of our pearls is good, and the pick-up can be used as the first batch of goods, as well as the shell crafts and shell paintings made by Xiaojia's sister, which are also ready-made goods. As for the manpower problem of Ding Xiangyuan, it will be possible to recruit one or two more people to make up for it when the time comes. Xiaojia, what do you say? Jiang Yichen persuaded him, and then turned his head to ask the girl's opinion.

Su Xiaojia sat on the chair with her hands crossed, and after hearing these words, her hands tightened, her face was excited, her eyes became bright, and her attitude was naturally self-evident. She has been fond of marine life since she was a child, dreaming of living in a world surrounded by shells, starfish, corals, pearls and colorful fish.

Later, when I grew up, I realized that this qiē was an extravagant hope, and that the life composed of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea was a reality.

Brother Chenzi's words just now suddenly ignited her childhood dream, which naturally made her excited.
