Chapter 515: Pearl! (Tears begging to subscribe)

"I'm down!"

Yun Yi was shocked, hurriedly held his breath, and stroked hard in the water several times before he stabilized his figure.

Due to the slow flow speed of this big roundabout, the river water is very clear, but Yun Yi can't see the underwater situation, he is very good at water, he immediately signed into the water, and then tried to open his eyes and look around.

Sure enough, he saw a one-meter-long shadow swimming around under the water, which immediately made him realize that it was a big fish just now.

Yun Yi didn't think about it, such a big fish, the amount of strength in the water is very exaggerated, not to mention that he is also in the water, even if he catches this fish on the boat, he can pull it up without being sure.

"I'll settle accounts with you in the future, and I must catch you to make braised fish!"

Muttering a word and shaking his head, Yunyi slowly swam into the shallow water, stepping on the mud and sand under his feet and walking slowly.

"What's that?"

Suddenly, Yun Yi felt a hiccup under his feet, and suddenly became a little curious, it seemed that the bottom of the river had been very gentle.

Suspicious, he dived into the water lightly, touched it with his hand, and was immediately happy, it turned out to be a river mussel, and it was quite big, as big as two slaps of a human being, so he cooperated with both hands to get the river mussel up.

River mussel is a kind of common freshwater shellfish, in the rivers, lakes and seas (the sea is called sea mussels, but it is not counted as river mussels, hehe), this thing lives under the water all the year round, it is said that it can nourish the spirit, invigorate the blood and brighten the eyes.

The meat of the river mussel is tender, but it is very troublesome to make, Yun Yi remembers that when he was a child, the river mussel was caught in the small pond west of his home, because it was boiled in water too much, and the result was that he couldn't bite at all.

Later, Yun Yi learned that there are two ways to eat river mussels, one is to pass the water a little, and then stir-fry; Not only does it taste good, but it also kills bacteria; Another way is to simmer over low heat. I have been stewing the mussel meat.

This river mussel is the size of two palms, and Yun Yi happily held the river mussel and walked to the shore humming a small song.

Just took two steps, Yun Yi felt that there was another grid under his feet, and he was even more happy in his heart, this river mussel was thrown into the space, and then sank down and touched it. Arrived at a river mussel.

However, the volume of this river mussel surprised Yun Yi, and he worked underwater for a while before he could figure out the volume of the entire river mussel, which was a full thirty centimeters in diameter.

It's been a waste of work. Yun Yi picked up the river mussel and walked towards the shore.

"Uncle Yun, why did you find a river mussel?"

When a group of bear children saw the river mussel in Yunyi's hand, they immediately swam over and asked.

"Oh, that's where you looked!"

Yun Yi turned around and pointed to the place where he was looking for the river mussel just now, and the children from several cities immediately swam over there, apparently preparing to find the river mussel.

"What's so good about this river mussel, it's not delicious and can't be sold for money, and I can't find it!"

Huzi shook his hand at a few bear children. Although a few people were puzzled, they came back, and Huzi continued to say to Yun Yi: "Uncle Yun, if you want more river mussels on the shallows, you can dig them up casually!" ”

"The mussels in the shallow water are small. Uncle Yun wants to see if there are any pearls in here! ”

Yun Yi smiled, and then thought about where to go with the backpack he had placed on the shore.

Seeing Yun Yi coming up with a 'huge' river mussel, Yun Yi and the three sisters and several girls all surrounded him, looking at this river mussel with a diameter of only more than 30 centimeters in surprise.

"Uncle. What do you catch mussels for? This thing smells terrible and not tasty! ”

The eldest girl looked at Yun Yi with a smile, her eyes full of doubts.

"Nature is for pearls. Don't you know that this mussel has pearls in it? ”

Yun Yi smiled and said, in fact, he was thinking about eating at first, but he fooled Huzi just now, and now they are watching him take pearls, so naturally he can only continue to talk about taking pearls.

Sometimes pearls can be bred in river mussels, and some river mussels accidentally let the sand into the shell of the mussel, and the sand irritates the flesh of the mussel. The membrane secretes a unique substance that wraps the sand grains, and pearls are formed over time.

The price of pearls is high and low, freshwater pearls are most famous for the east pearl in the northeast, and the beads on the top of the hats of princes, nobles and ministers in the Qing Dynasty are the best east pearls.

As for the pearls that seem to be produced in other places, the quality is not as good as the East Pearl, just like the one in Yunyi's hand, even if the pearl is produced, it will not be worth much; However, if it is big, the price is not necessarily.

He reached into his backpack and 'summoned' a knife from the space, and then Yun Yi skillfully pulled the knife out along the shell of the mussel. Plug in the place of the nozzle. went in, stirred it twice, and immediately cut off the two big muscles of the mussel, and then the knife was hard to grasp, and both hands grabbed in the water. As soon as the shell of the river mussel was broken, the entire Dahe State was suddenly opened by Yunyi, and the mussel meat inside was exposed.

"There are pearls!"

The people around suddenly exclaimed, Yun Yi's eyes froze, and he suddenly saw two bright things on the edge of the clam shell, about a little larger than soybeans, flashing with a white halo.

Excited, Yun Yi hurriedly buckled the two pearls, and after the two pearls removed a faint film on the surface, the white halo was even more obvious.

"It's so beautiful!"

Chen Yuequan looked at the pearl with a small star, and said that women are the primates who like pearls the most, which is not an exaggeration at all.

"Come, big girl, this pearl is for you! Yan Yan, this pearl is for you! ”

Yun Yi gave two pearls, one for each person, to Yun Yan and the eldest girl, which made Chen Yueyuan envious, but unfortunately Yun Yi would not give him a drop.

"Yunyi, you are quite lucky, there are few pearls in the ordinary mussel shell, and you will find one all of a sudden, this luck is really not covered!"

In the academy, a high school teacher lifted his glasses and said in surprise, he mainly teaches biology, and knows the characteristics of things like river mussels.

Although ordinary river mussels can breed pearls, the chance is very small, unless they are artificially cultivated; Yunyi found this mussel, and he was quite lucky.

"Hey, lucky!"

Yun Yi smiled, and then threw the river mussel on the beach, ready to go down to the river to continue looking for the river mussel to dig pearls; Xiaobai saw the master go down to the river again, and immediately fluttered and followed behind Yunyi, Wukong jumped up and down in a hurry to squeak on the press, but it had never swam before, and did not dare to go down the river, so he could only watch it by pressing it.

A group of bear children, as well as a slightly younger teacher in the academy, are all excited, although this pearl is not valuable, but at least it is an honor to pick it out, so more than a dozen people in Hula followed together to touch the river mussels on the river beach.
