Ninety-nine, unexpected joy
Everyone gathered around the mussel and happily argued about how big the pearl would be if there was a pearl in it. Some say it's at least 6 mm big, some say it's at least 8 mm big.
Finally, the captain of the boat said with great certainty: "If the pearl is 8 mm in size and the roundness is good enough, it is a treasure, and when it is 10 mm in size, it is the best." And I've only heard of pearls over 10 centimeters, but I've never seen them. And this sea mussel has a lifespan of at least a few hundred years, and if there are pearls, it may really be an eye-opener today. ”
Hearing the boat boss say this, it aroused everyone's desire again, and everyone wanted to know if there were any pearls in this big mussel?
"Okay, this sea mussel was caught by Brother Ye from the sea, naturally it belongs to Brother Ye, let's go back first, go home, let Brother Ye do it himself, see if there are any pearls in it, so that we can open our eyes." Seeing that everyone was about to move, the head of the Sun family hurriedly stopped everyone.
"Okay, let's drink fresh clam broth today." The boat was cheering.
The head of the Sun family called Sun Wen to the side and carefully explained the matter of fixing the magic weapon, and Sun Wen got on another boat, stayed with the engineer who followed him, and personally dealt with the matter.
On the way back, the head of the Sun family was in a good mood. The stuffiness that has accumulated in my heart these days is all blown away by the oncoming sea breeze.
"Brother Ye, I was in charge just now, and I have already arranged for someone to pick up Luo Qingxue from the securities company, and we will have dinner in the courtyard in the evening. Just drink this fresh clam broth. The head of the Sun family stood at the bow of the boat, and Sun Wu was holding him tightly beside him, beware of any mistakes he made.
"Thank you, Uncle Sun." When it comes to Luo Qingxue, Ye Zifeng feels that he hasn't seen her for a long time, maybe this is a man and a woman in love, who don't see her for a day, like every three autumns.
There was nothing to say all the way, and everyone hugged the head of the Sun family and Ye Zifeng back to the Sun family's courtyard.
Luo Qingxue was looking at the flowers and plants planted by the head of the Sun family in the yard. When she saw Ye Zifeng being surrounded by everyone and entering the courtyard, she didn't know how to greet him.
When the head of the Sun family saw it, he laughed and quipped: "Xiaoxue, it's me who is not good, Brother Ye, I borrowed it for two days, and I didn't tell you, and I will return to Zhao today." ”
"Uncle Sun, make fun of me, Zifeng has called me to tell me." Hearing the head of the Sun family say this, Luo Qingxue became more and more embarrassed.
"It's good to call and ask for leave, Brother Ye, you have to be kind to Xiaoxue, I can treat her as my granddaughter." According to the head of the Sun family, the generations are a bit messy, he treats Ye Zifeng as a brother, but he also treats Luo Qingxue as a granddaughter, and Ye Zifeng and Luo Qingxue both call him Uncle Sun.
"Come, Xiaoxue, see what Brother Ye has brought you?" The head of the Sun family asked someone to bring over a net bag containing a large sea mussel.
"Sea mussels, so big!" Luo Qingxue recognized at a glance that this was a sea mussel.
"Yes, this is the big sea mussel, this was caught by Brother Ye, and the boat boss said that this big sea mussel is at least a few hundred years old. Guess what, are there any pearls in there? "Sun Wu and Luo Qingxue are familiar with each other, so they speak more casually.
"He caught it? Will there be pearls in it? Luo Qingxue looked at Ye Zifeng curiously, because there were many people, they didn't speak.
"If there is one, open it and you'll know."
Sun Wu asked people to bring hammers and shovels and handed them over to Ye Zifeng. Ye Zifeng took these tools, facing the sea mussel but didn't know where to start.
"Use a hammer to crack the edge of the shell, and then use a spatula to stick it into the gap, not too deep. If it is inserted too deeply, if there is a pearl, it will hurt the pearl gestational sac. Then forcefully open the two mussel shells, and you're good to go. The boat boss pointed at Ye Zifeng on the side.
Because the head of the Sun family was happy, he invited everyone on the boat to his home as guests, and the old nature of the boat followed. Now is the time for him to perform.
Under the guidance of the boat boss, Ye Zifeng quickly opened the mussel shell, revealing the pink mussel meat.
"There are pearls. Don't move yet, go get a thin knife and a basin of cold boiled water. Of the group, only the captain knew how to take pearls, and when he saw the bulging pearl gestational sac, he knew that there were pearls.
Hearing that there were pearls, everyone was excited, and Sun Wu asked people to quickly bring a thin knife and a basin of cold boiled water. The boat boss asked Ye Zifeng to gently cut the gestational sac with a thin knife, and a large crystal pearl rolled out of the gestational sac.
"Ah, Pearl King! It's the King of Pearls! The captain of the boat did not have the expression of the whisper just now, and roared rudely. Because he could see at a glance that the pearl was at least 10 mm or more in diameter, he had to be excited.
He asked Ye Zifeng to quickly put the pearl in the cold boiled water to wash off the mucus on it, revealing the pearl's crystal clear luster.
"Walking the beads, it turned out to be the beads." The captain of the boat shouted again rudely.
Walking beads refer to pearls that are naturally round and have very good roundness. As the name suggests, the pearl is placed in a jade plate, and it will roll back and forth in the jade plate, as if it would walk around in the jade plate. Walking beads are already rare, and more than 10 mm walking beads have never been heard of. If this had been placed in the past, it would have been a tribute, and only the emperor and queen could have it.
Ye Zifeng touched the pearl gestational sac with his hand, feeling that there were still many pearls in it, and with a slight force of his fingers, another big pearl was squeezed out of the pink mussel meat.
"It's the same size, it's all the King of Pearls." This time, there was no need for the boat boss to remind him, and the people around him shouted at the same time.
A superb walking bead has not been encountered in a hundred years, but two superb walking beads can appear in a mussel, which can only be described as a miracle. It has to make people scream. Even the head of the Sun family couldn't hold back, and shouted as excitedly as they did.
Ye Zifeng's hand touched the tender gestational sac of the sea mussel, and the touch on his hand told him that there were at least three pearls of this size in the gestational sac. There are also some smaller and smaller pearls. If you take it all out at once, I don't know what your expressions will be.
After everyone screamed, seeing that Ye Zifeng didn't move, they urged Ye Zifeng: "Take a look, is there anything else?" ”
"What's wrong? Without? Still stunned? ”
"Is there any?" The head of the Sun family looked at Ye Zifeng's strange expression, and guessed that there might be this kind of superb walking bead.
The tone of the head of the Sun family became cautious, this is the best walking beads, in the past, it was only enjoyed by the emperor, and now it can be in the Sun family, this is the glory of the Sun family.
"And." Ye Zifeng said to the head of the Sun family. Ye Zifeng's fingers were forced, and another pearl was squeezed out of the gestational sac.
"Ah, another one, another one." Screams erupted from the crowd.
Ye Zifeng squeezed out the three big pearls in the gestational sac in one go. These three large pearls are almost exactly the same as the previous two pearls, with delicate and crystalline color and excellent roundness, and they are also the best walking beads.
The appearance of five superb walking beads in the same mussel can only be said to be a miracle within a miracle. Only spiritual creatures nourished by spiritual veins and earth qi can produce this kind of superb pearl with spirituality.
Then Ye Zifeng used a thin knife to cut open all the pearl gestational sacs of the mussels, and the gestational sacs were full of small pearls, which were only relative to the first five superb pearls. These dozen pearls are 5-6 mm in size, and the color and roundness are also excellent, all of which have reached the level of walking beads. But because there are the best walking beads in front, the appearance of these pearls did not cause too much shock to everyone.
Luo Qingxue picked up a superb walking bead and held it in the palm of her hand, and against the backdrop of her white palm, a charming halo appeared around the best walking bead, which was extremely flexible.
"Like it or not?" Ye Zifeng stared at Luo Qingxue's eyes and said.
"I like it!" Luo Qingxue replied. The two of them were completely immersed in the enchanting halo of pearls.
"Ha, ha, just like it, this superb bead can only be worn by the emperor and queen before." The head of the Sun family said.
"If these pearls were made into a necklace, they would be superb. I know the young owner of Xiangjiang Qifu Jewelry, and Brother Ye can make these pearls into a necklace and give them to Xiaoxue, which is just like our Xiaoxue. Sun Wu said.
"Okay, just trouble Brother Sun, help me contact it."
"Okay, I'll contact you, let you go to Xiangjiang with Xiaoxue, and let him arrange the best designer to design a string of top styles, so that we can match Xiaoxue." Sun Wu said.
"Brother Sun will arrange it, and I will go over with Qingxue then." Ye Zifeng held Luo Qingxue's hand and agreed for Luo Qingxue.
