"With such a big shell, there should be good beads, right, do you say yes?" Chen Xu turned his head to look at the crowd around and said with a smile.

"Hehe, Childe will know when you open it!"

Countless people in the crowd laughed dryly, obviously not optimistic about Chen Xu's ruined business.

Taihu mussel shells produce pearls, and this matter is well known to the world.

Especially five years ago, after the auspicious rui out of the water, it is to provoke countless crazy shellfish and pearl people, a few years ago this Taihu Lake is crowded with people in the middle of summer, the fishing boats are densely packed, all over the country with a variety of accents of rich businessmen and tourists all hope to try their luck, in the water temple worship the mussel shell ancestor after the lake fishing, sometimes continuous fishing for a whole summer, but can get a good pearl of only a handful of people, almost 99% of the people are to take advantage of the joy to come and return happy, spend a lot of money to hire local fishermen and fishing boats to go down to the lake to catch shellfish, In the end, there was no return, so in the past two years, the number of people who came to fish for shellfish gradually decreased, and in autumn even less, because the mussels have dived into the mud deep at the bottom of the lake, and it is more difficult to catch them.

In this era when pearls are born to grow, they are extremely scarce valuables, but the production can naturally be seen, if you can open pearls casually, then pearls are not valuable.

And Chen Xu's defeat action today also fully confirms this situation.

It cost 40,000 yuan, used thousands of people successively, and finally obtained only more than 3,000 yuan worth of pearls, and one-tenth of the cost was confiscated, which was definitely a bloodless transaction.

"Anyway, tens of thousands of dollars have been spent today, these are my hopes for the last fortune, if you bloom a priceless pearl later, you don't have to be red-eyed......"

Chen Xu took out the dagger, his eyes wandered among the large and small lake mussels for a long time, and finally chose a large mussel of about two feet, squatted down and pried a gap with the dagger, and then the sharp blade slashed it open with a pop.

"Wow, pearl ......"

"Golden~"

As the two huge shells parted on both sides, the snow-white mussel meat was turned over, and a pale golden light was released in the strong sunlight overhead, and the onlookers instantly exclaimed and were agitated, and many people rushed to squeeze over, and the scene was chaotic and a little out of control.

"Stand back~" A group of guards instantly became extremely nervous, clenching their swords and scolding loudly, and the crowd slowly stopped.

"This pearl is so beautiful!"

Watching Chen Xu, who was squatting on the ground, slowly dig out the pale golden pearl and hold it in the air, the onlookers were amazed, Ying Shi, Mengwan, and a group of women such as Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter were all confused, and all the shining stars were little stars.

"Haha, hahahaha......" Chen Xu laughed heartily, and after watching for a while, he turned his head to look at the dense crowd of onlookers, "Everyone, this pearl is five points in size, and it is a colored pearl, I don't know how much it is worth?" ”

"Childe, how about selling this gold bead for 3,000 yuan?" A middle-aged man in a fancy costume in the crowd stretched out his hand and shouted.

"Childe, don't lose 3,000 dollars!" An old man who is familiar with the market stood next to him and reminded.

"Daddy, give it to me, I want this big pearl!" Chen Xi rushed up and hugged Chen Xu's arm and shook it.

"Good, good, the first victory, this pearl will play with you!" Chen Xu smiled and stuffed the pearl into his daughter's hand, then carried the dagger and began to look for the next target.

Open the mussel is actually the same as the gambling stone, there is no so-called experience at all, it all depends on luck, because the formation of pearls is an extremely accidental factor, when there is grit and foreign matter into the mussel shell, the mussel shell will find a way to spit it out, but if it can't be spit out and fall into the mussel meat, the mussel shell will secrete a kind of nacre to wrap it up under the discomfort, when the nacre accumulates more and more, so that the pearl is slowly formed.

For humans, pearls are treasures, but for shells, pearls are especially cancerous for a lifetime, because pearls hidden in the body not only affect eating, but also affect movement as they grow.

But in any case, the longer you live the shell, the greater the chance of having pearls in your body, so the chance of having large pearls increases a lot, just like it is a fact that older people are more likely to get cancer.

Soon, Chen Xu chose another lake mussel that was also about two feet in size, and opened it very quickly, but there was nothing in it except a bunch of mussel noodles.

Chen Xu made persistent efforts, and drove seven or eight in one breath under the watchful eyes of hundreds of people, but still found nothing.

"Hehe, the first time was lucky, this pile is all opened, and it is estimated that there will be no more!" There was schadenfreude in the crowd.

"It's hard to say, maybe this son will be lucky!" Someone retorted.

"Husband, I'll help you!" Shui Qingrou also pulled out the meteorite short sword handed down by the master, and chose a broken lake mussel to squat down.

"Okay, hurry up and go back to dinner, it's impossible to get rich, but this deal is not a loss......" Chen Xu smiled and said while keeping his hands on his hands, and three more were cut in a sloppy uproar, and there was still nothing in the mussel meat after carefully touching it.

"Puff~"

The water light short sword gently slashed the clam shell in her hand, the movement was extremely light, and as the two shells were broken open by her hand, a pink light instantly appeared in the depths of the onlookers' eyes.

"Wow, it's a colorful bead again......"

"What a big ......"

The crowd of onlookers instantly exclaimed again in a restless manner, the water was gentle and excited, and the slender fingers pinched a thumb-sized pink pearl in the snow-white mussel flesh, and a pink halo instantly rippled around it under the sunlight.

Everyone looked at this extremely beautiful pink pearl and exclaimed, many of them put their fists in their mouths, their eyes wide in disbelief.

And looking at this pearl, not only Chen Xu was stunned, but even Qu Hai and the others and the two men in fancy clothes who had just sold shells looked at each other.

"This ...... This is not scientific, but there are more than 100 lake mussels, why can they bloom two big beads in succession, and they are rare colored beads......" There are countless people in the crowd who know jewelry and muttered to themselves.

"I'm afraid that this one is worth more than 10,000 dollars~" After being excited, some people in the crowd began to speculate about its value.

"Definitely more than that, an ordinary silver bead with a diameter of eight points is worth tens of thousands, the diameter of this pink bead is an inch, the price is at least doubled, the old man has lived in the five lakes for more than 50 years, and he has only heard of this kind of colored bead appearing once, and the big pearl was finally dedicated to the king of Chu by the pearl diver, and he got countless grain fields and real estate, and he had to be named the lord of the doctor...... "An old man directly gave a higher speculation with his life experience.

"Brother Xiaoxu, is this color bead okay for me?" Yu Ji was also instantly moved by this pearl, and hugged Chen Xu's arm and kept begging.

"Haha, okay, okay, I'll give it to you!" Chen Xu waved his hand, and the pearl instantly belonged, Yu Ji took the pearl from Shui Qingrou's hand with a cheer, held it in the palm of his hand, and watched it with Chen Xi and a few little maids beside him.

"Alas~" A few jewelry merchants in the crowd who originally wanted to offer a price instantly put down their hands with a gloomy face, and the young man in front of him was not bad at first glance, and such a valuable jewelry instantly rewarded two girls.

And it's actually very reasonable to think about it, after all, it's a guy who spent 40,000 yuan to have fun, I don't know if there is anyone in the world who will be so ruined and so rich, and if it is rich, the richest person in the world is except for the emperor, I'm afraid there is only the famous Qinghe Marquis......

Qinghe Hou ...... Qinghe Hou ......

In an instant, someone couldn't help but shudder suddenly, seeing that Chen Xu's eyes were suddenly much brighter, and then looking at the group of women around Chen Xu, their hearts suddenly brightened, and then they began to beat excitedly one by one.

"Childe, would you like to sell the rest of these lake mussels to me?" A slightly chubby middle-aged man squeezed into the middle of the crowd and asked excitedly.

"Why, you saw that I got rich in an instant?" Chen Xu glanced up at this guy who liked speculative businessmen at first glance.

"Hehe, a certain is in the jewelry business, Zhenze has to come once a year, but he has never met a person with such good fortune as Childe, so he also wants to be contaminated with some of Childe's fortune, and you can buy the rest of these lake mussels even if you offer a price!"

"You're obviously robbing me of my chance to make a fortune......" Chen Xu smiled and stood up and moved his hands and feet.

"As long as the son is willing to sell, he will never bargain!" Merchants continue to add weight.

"I want to buy a few too!" An old man with gray hair and a fancy costume in the crowd also crowded over.

"And me, and my ......," another man in his forties, with a warm face and a slender body, also pushed away the crowd and raised his hand.

"These people want to go crazy with big beads!" Seeing that several rich people wanted to buy the remaining lake mussels in an instant, someone in the crowd began to mumble.

"Maybe the rest of these can really make big beads? I also want to buy a few to try ......" and some people expressed a different opinion.

Chen Xu's eyes swept over several men, and after a slight mutter, he said with a smile: "Don't regret it, maybe there won't be a single pearl left!" ”

"Don't worry, Childe, you offer the price as soon as possible, pearl diving is all about luck, how can you regret it!" The fat man who was the first to stand up hurriedly said.

"Okay, I won't offer a price, there are about seventy left, let's have a game of gambling on mussels, the floor price of one foot is twenty yuan, less than two feet of fifty yuan, and more than two feet of one hundred yuan...... You can participate in the bidding of these lake mussels on the spot, and open the mussels on the spot, so that you can not only look at your financial luck, but also get some fun, what do you think? As Chen Xu spoke, he used his feet to divide the lake mussels on the ground into three piles according to their size.

"Okay, Childe's method is good, it depends on financial luck, I want to participate in it!" While the eyes of countless onlookers were shining, some people couldn't wait to stand up.

"Not bad, it's not bad, it's lively when there are more people, I'll have a fun time waiting for it!" Several businessmen from Wuhu Park standing behind Chen Xu also joined in with a smile, and in an instant, there were more than ten people around who participated in Chen Xu's gambling game.
