In the days that followed, Sun Chen's life was really fulfilling and interesting.

Every morning, he would always go to the port with his cousin Li Yicong, take a look here, go there to have a look, and often spend the whole day in this way.

When you come across a fishing boat that comes back from going out to sea, you always buy some fresh catch. The most surprising thing for Sun Chen was that someone caught more than a dozen huge lobsters in the shallow sea that day, you must know that Sun Chen has always thought that these things will only appear in the deep sea, at least with the current fishing technology, he will not have the opportunity to eat.

After some fierce competition, Sun Chen finally spent sixty taels of silver to buy one. This is really not a small amount, you must know that on the first day Sun Chen came here, he bought two large baskets of seafood, and it only cost five taels of silver.

However, this big lobster weighing more than ten catties still made Liu Mingxuan and them amazed, and they were full of lobster meat for that meal, and in the end there were a lot left, all of which Liu Mingxuan rewarded his subordinates.

Sun Chen sometimes buys some seaweed and kelp to dry with fishermen who have no money to buy fishing boats, so they can only catch the sea on the beach after low tide with small fishing nets. After peeling the sun-dried sea rice and clam meat, he also collected a lot of it, and took it all home when he was ready to leave.

However, what Sun Chen was most willing to do was to stand on the dock of the port, waiting for the big ships of the Gentiles who had crossed the ocean to come to the apocalypse to pan for gold.

Every time such a big ship docks, it means that there are countless new things coming. At this time, Sun Chen would stand in the crowd, waiting for the Gentiles who had not found a buyer in advance to sell on the spot.

Some of the things brought from the ship, such as ivory, rhino horn, hawksbill turtle, etc., were all transported by Gentiles to curry favor with the power class of the Apocalypse Dynasty by the head of their own country.

The timekeeping utensils of the Apocalypse Dynasty are hourglasses, ordinary people watch the sky, and there are people everywhere who are specially responsible for reporting the time, so Sun Chen has never had the opportunity to know what the specific time is, and he has followed others ignorantly. He saw a quartz clock on a Gentile ship, and inquired about it, but it was a birthday gift from the Empress of Britain to Emperor Tianyun. Sun Chen only had time to see the heavy curtains on top of the quartz clock, and he didn't even know what it looked like.

However, there are still many daily necessities for ordinary people, and mirrors are one of them.

Most people in the Apocalypse Dynasty use copper mirrors in their lives, even if they are polished and smoothed, the reflection effect is very poor, and when women look in the mirror, they can't see clearly if they don't look carefully.

And what the Gentiles brought over was the kind with mercury coating behind the glass that Sun Chen was most familiar with. The mirror made of this material has an excellent reflective effect, and the figure reflected is naturally delicate and lifelike, which makes people amazed, and it is a very popular foreign commodity.

However, the scarcity is expensive, an oval glass mirror of only two or three square decimeters, and with the ordinary wood, but carved with a complex pattern of frames, the asking price is two or three hundred taels of silver, and the larger ones are more expensive. In the past, Sun Chen's floor-to-ceiling dressing mirrors everywhere cost thousands of taels of silver. This is only the landing price, if these things are sold through the hands of a big businessman like Liu Mingxuan, when ordinary people buy them, the price may more than double.

Sun Chen couldn't avoid the vulgarity, he bought the smallest one, and sighed in his heart while paying for it, such a small mirror, in his time, was only a few yuan, but now it is sold so expensive, he really feels sorry for him!

There are also gentlings who bring in jewelry and jade, most of which are just small pieces, but all of them are very valuable, and because they are made by foreigners, the strong exotic customs on them make them the objects of competition among the merchants of the Apocalypse Dynasty.

Sun Chen also followed the trend and bought two pearl necklaces. As for Yu Jue or something, he always thought that the carvers of those Gentiles were never as good as the craftsmen of the Apocalypse Dynasty, so he didn't buy it, but Li Yicong spent eighty taels of silver to buy a jade little whale, saying that he would give it to his future daughter-in-law.

The pearls at this time were not the large-scale batch cultivation of pearl oysters in later generations, but they were really rummaged out of the shells one by one. The color of the pearls is different, and the price is naturally different, Sun Chen chose not the largest one, but the one with a medium size, but uniform size, and the beads also shone with a lustrous pink luster.

The two small pearl necklaces cost him five hundred taels of silver, but Sun Chen didn't feel too distressed, and brought gifts to his sister, and he was embarrassed to spend less money.

"Our Apocalypse Dynasty actually has a place rich in pearls, but compared with the Miluo Kingdom, the quantity produced is too limited, and the quality cannot be compared." Liu Mingxuan said with emotion. This time, he bought forty or fifty thousand taels of silver from the merchants of Miluo at once, and he would definitely be able to make a lot of money when he changed hands.

"Oh?" Sun Chen knew it for the first time. But it's not strange to think about it, the coastline of the Apocalypse Dynasty is also quite long, and it is naturally indispensable among them.

"Where?" During this time, Sun Chen wandered around the beach a lot, and when he heard the pearls that others found from the scallops, he counted them on both hands. I've eaten so many scallops myself, and I haven't found a pearl the size of a soybean. Of course, this is also because no one is looking for pearls, they are all found by accident when fishing for other seafood.

If you specialize in breeding this thing, I don't know if it's feasible?

"It's not far from Fenghai County, it will be there in two or three days. There is a place called Pearl Bay, and one out of ten scallops can have beads in it. However, the quality of the pearls is not very good, and most of them cannot be used to make jewelry, and can only be ground into pearl powder for women's faces. ”

After Sun Chen heard this, he couldn't sit still.

……

Three days later, Liu Mingxuan couldn't stand Sun Chen's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and after dealing with the things in his hand, he took him on the road to Pearl Bay.

As for the way to make money in Sun Chen's mouth, he is actually not very optimistic, and the Apocalypse Dynasty has not been without other businessmen who have seen the business opportunities and want to make achievements in this area.

But no matter how confident they were at the beginning, no one has ever been able to really get their wish in this field. At best, it can be said that it is very good to be able to get a toss for nothing.
