Ye Quan picked a sea mussel with the largest body size and the largest aura fluctuation, held it in his hand, and floated towards the sea, the other sea mussels couldn't move, and there was no seawater in the space, so he could only keep it temporarily.
The sea mussel in his hand is estimated to weigh more than ten catties according to Ye Quan, and it is not able to surface the sea at all, after returning to the boat, Ye Quan counted the lines on the mussel shell, if it only grows once a year, the life span of this sea mussel is estimated to be sixty or seventy years, and it is definitely the old birthday star in the sea mussel.
According to the fluctuation of the aura, Ye Quan found that there should be two pearls in the mussel shell, and it is believed that the size is not small, because the pearls that Ye Quan had come into contact with before had never had such a big fluctuation, not even one-fifth.
After paddling on the sea for a while, the women felt a little weak, and they were worried that their skin would be tanned by the sun, so they quickly returned to the boat, and saw that Ye Quan had brought back two bags of seafood and a huge sea mussel, and they were immediately interested.
"This is a sea mussel? Is there a pearl in it? Han Yueying asked.
Yuan Hui said: "There must be such a big sea mussel." ”
Xie Yan has a wide range of knowledge, explaining: "That's not necessarily, not every sea mussel has pearls, it has to be stimulated by foreign objects to secrete nacre and form a natural pearl, which is not very likely." ”
Xu Yihong said: "Is there any?" Don't you know when you open it? ”
Han Yueying said with a pity: "It's not easy for this sea mussel to grow so big, and it won't survive after it is dissected." ”
Ye Quan has a way to take out the pearls without harming the sea mussels, but the sea mussel meat is the best delicacy in the world, the taste is delicious, crispy and tender, and it is still a famous dish at the state banquet in the Great Hall of the People, it is a pity not to taste it.
Thinking of this, Ye Quan didn't squeak. Anyway, there will be an ocean in the future, and with the concentration of aura in the space, you can achieve as many sea mussels as you want.
Ye Quan found a fruit knife and a bone chopping knife, and it took a lot of effort to pry the sea mussel open, and turn over the mussel meat, revealing two large pearls that were shining. The larger one is round, smooth, and crystal clear; The other one is not yet formed, just semicircular.
Yuan Hui said happily: "There are really pearls!" It's a pity that one is not round. ”
There are many shapes of pearls. It is divided into round beads, flat beads, oval beads, mabi beads and special-shaped beads.
Among them, the beads are divided into three types according to the roundness, namely the positive bead, the round bead and the near-round bead.
Positive round beads refer to the pearls with the best roundness, and are also commonly known as walking beads in business.
As for the classification of special-shaped beads, there are pie-shaped, diamond-shaped, square-shaped, pear-shaped, drop-shaped, rice-shaped, potato-shaped and bean-shaped, etc., which are strange.
Liao Xiaolei sighed: "You can be content, it is great luck to have one, let alone such a big pearl." It's definitely worth a lot of money. ”
Xu Yihong nodded and said, "Yes, I have never seen such a big pearl." ”
Ye Quan remembered that the largest pearl in the world was one of the existing safes of the Jinshan Bank of the Republic of China, weighing 6,350 grams and measuring 27.94 centimeters in diameter, almost the size of a human head, which was unimaginable and incalculable.
It is said that the acquisition of this pearl also experienced an unusual encounter.
In 1943, the son of a Filipino tribal chief went swimming in the bay with his partner. Suddenly, he heard the chief's son screaming, and he quickly sank to the bottom of the sea.
When his dead body was found at the bottom of the sea, it was found that his right hand was tightly clamped by a huge sea mussel, and the salvage crew managed to get the giant mussel to the shore with great effort, and when people knocked the mussel shell open with an iron rod, they found this sensational pearl king in the world.
The United Arab Emirates also auctioned a 575-carat irregular shape. The giant pearl, with a diameter of 7.87 centimeters, was estimated at a staggering $8 million at the time.
The largest natural saltwater pearl in Xinhua is a southern pearl with a diameter of about 2.5 centimeters. It was discovered by chance in 1990 by a pearl farmer in the waters of the Beibu Gulf.
Compared to those pearl kings, the pearl in front of him can only be regarded as a small thing. But its diameter is almost 2 centimeters, and if you participate in the auction, it will definitely be a sky-high price.
In addition, the unformed pearl is also of great value, Li Shizhen in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" on the medicinal effect of the pearl recorded as follows: "Shock, clear the liver and remove the puff, converge and grow muscle." ”
Modern medicine has also proved that pearls have the curative effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, healing wounds, promoting skin and flesh, reducing inflammation and brightening the eyes.
The Empress Dowager Cixi was particularly superstitious about the role of pearls, believing that pearls could prolong life, and according to historical records, Cixi had to take a silver spoon of pearl powder every ten days.
A newspaper once reported a strange incident, a lady suffered from a benign tumor in the neck, but was afraid of surgery, heard that pearls have the effect of clearing heat and reducing swelling, so she bought a string of pearls to wear, as a result, half a year later, the swelling began to decrease, a year later the tumor disappeared automatically.
And the more natural the pearl, the longer it is contained by the sea mussel, the better its medicinal effect.
Ye Quan was not short of millions, but he really wanted to take it into the space to decompose it to see if he could obtain dozens of spiritual energy points, but after seeing Han Yueying and the other women's eyes glow brightly, he immediately dispelled this idea.
Ye Quan took out the mussel meat and put it in the refrigerator, and handed the two pearls to Han Yueying, Ye Quan said: "You take it first, you have the opportunity to ask a jewelry company to customize a piece of jewelry, and the other one can be used in medicine, or simply ground into pearl powder." ”
Han Yueying didn't understand the market of natural Nanzhu, but she also knew that it would definitely not be cheap, so she hurriedly said: "I don't want it, and I don't like to wear jewelry." ”
Liao Xiaolei said with a smile: "It's polite to become a family, don't make jewelry, it's good to take a look and play with it." ”
Xie Yan also said: "I heard that wearing pearls also has the effect of beauty and calming the mind, and it is always good to bring them on your body." ”
When I was happy, I always felt that time passed very fast, and in a blink of an eye, the sun was about to throw into the arms of the sea, Ye Quan and the others handled all kinds of ingredients, and then moved the barbecue tools onto the deck, blowing a slightly cool wet sea breeze, and began to do it themselves to fill their stomachs.
A few people's barbecue skills are not very good, but the seafood is too good, as long as it is not burned, the taste of the ingredients is tender, and the special seasonings of Ye Quan, everyone bakes things taste good, which can be described as a feast.
The barbecue banquet lasted for more than an hour, and everyone cleaned up the mess with a shy stomach, returned to the cabin or chatted, or played games and entertainment, and after another two hours of liveliness, the people who felt tired finally rested.
After all the rooms were quiet, Ye Quan drove away from the Youlong in a miniature submarine, that is, an underwater attack boat, and moved the group of sea mussels into the space first, and then stopped in the sea area five or six miles away.
Next, Ye Quan opened the door of space, pouring a huge amount of seawater into the space, and in an instant, a huge whirlpool appeared on the sea.
The psionic space is another scene, a waterfall like the Nine Heavens Milky Way falling from the sky, falling into the giant pit, the abundance of water is no less than the Yangtze River, in a moment in the giant crater spread out, the sea water is mixed with countless fish and other marine animals and plants, even including some corals and reefs.
