Act 97 Can You Raise Pearls!?
When Shi Qirong left, Old Man Guan relieved the state of the old god, almost his whole body trembled, and he couldn't speak well. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Little ...... Derpy...... You know...... Do you know what you've just done!? ”
Guan Kunyu nodded: "Naturally, I know." ”
"Alas...... It is said that the eldest husband can bend and stretch, but I didn't expect that the most bent and able to stretch is you, a little idio, I used to be really blind...... Okay, okay, it's not wrong for you to do this, bear with it, and finally earn something for the family and come back. ”
Old Man Guan sighed heavily.
"However, I'm afraid that no one in your family will agree to do this. This time, the Shi family has gone too far, everyone is angry in their hearts, they are annoyed in their hearts, your method is to be a lackey for the Shi family! Forget it, after I go out, I will treat these as if these are my decisions, and I can't turn the sky up with an old man like me!
The only thing to worry about is the Qin family, I don't know what kind of charter they have over there. If you let the Qin family not collect grain by themselves but buy it from the Shi family, this is to cut off their roots! I don't know if my father-in-law can figure it out. ”
Guan Kunyu said hatefully: "Grandpa, this is a mistake, I don't plan to surrender to the Shi family!" The matter of the second uncle, the matter of the Qin family, and the matter of our family's food, it must not be so easy to settle with the Shi family! This time, I want the Shi family to be sold by me, and I am grateful to Dade for counting the money for me!
I can't move someone behind their Shi family, but the Shi family is different, since he Shi Qirong dares to stretch his claws to our Guan family, then I can't complain that I chopped his dog paws! ”
Old Man Guan was surprised: "That Shi Qirong is not a good match, you want to fight with him!?" What the hell do you think!? Hurry up and tell me to help you take care of it, don't make any mistakes, otherwise we will have to suffer from the closure of the family! ”
Guan Kunyu shook his head: "My plan won't work if I say it, even if I tell my grandfather, if you know, you will definitely not help me." ”
Old Man Guan was furious: "Then you still dare to do it!?" ”
"Because I'm 100% sure of winning!"
"Derpy, you're so proud! In the business field, where is there a 100% sure win!? ”
"Okay then, nine out of nine."
"You...... You ......" Old Man Guan pointed at Guan Kunyu for a long time, and in the end, he didn't come out of your senses, so he put down his arm dejectedly and sighed, "Forget it, let's talk about what you want to do next." ”
"First of all, I have to persuade Master Qin to do what I say, this matter is indeed more difficult for the Qin family, and the risk is also greater, but if the Qin family is willing to do this, I plan to collect all the old grain that his family has backlogged."
"What!?" Old Man Guan was completely shocked this time, "You want to accept their old grain!?" Or do you take it all!? You have to know that if the Shi family can really keep the price of grain down, then how much will be lost as much as this old grain is collected, even if the price is low! ”
"Well, of course, it will be closed at the market price, and the aunt's maiden family will naturally take care of it, so let's lose a little bit."
Old Man Guan was helpless: "Okay, after all, it's a family, if you can pull a handful, you can pull a handful, and we will collect the grain!" ”
"Then the second thing, I'm going to build a grain depot."
"Grain depot?" Old Man Guan was puzzled, "Didn't two new ones already be built last year?" Why do you want to build it? ”
"Because these two are not enough!"
"Not enough!? How many more are there!? ”
"Actually, it doesn't take much, just build another one. Well, our stone castle is pretty good. Although it is on the riverside, it can be built on high ground, and the terrain is high enough not to be afraid of flooding; The place is also large enough to hold food; There are also waterways to transport grain. In my opinion, as long as you put a roof on top of the stone castle to prevent rain, you will not be afraid of anything. ”
"Add a top to the stone castle!? How big does that have to be!? Old Man Guan exclaimed, "You're crazy! Do you know how much silver it costs to add such a top!? Also, if you really make trouble with the Japanese Bandits, this is a scourge at the top, and it can kill all the people in the stone castle! ”
"It's okay, it's okay, we're just using it for a while, and we'll tear it down when the new grain depot is built." Guan Kunyu smiled, "Don't delay things at all." ”
Old Man Guan touched Guan Kunyu's forehead and said, "It's not hot, aren't you evil!?" Why is it that you are talking nonsense today!? ”
"I'm not talking nonsense! Grandpa, just say whether you can help or not! ”
"If you don't say one, two, three, I definitely can't let you do nonsense this time!"
"Do you really want to say!?"
Old Man Guan nodded.
"Do you really want to say it!?"
Old Man Guan continued to nod.
Guan Kunyu sighed and said, "Actually...... When I was younger, the reason why I was in a daze was talking to immortals. ”
Old Man Guan knocked Guan Kunyu's head fiercely, and said angrily: "There are gods three feet above your head, what are you talking nonsense!?" In case you offend any of the gods, it's too late for you to regret it! ”
"How dare grandchildren talk nonsense about this kind of thing! In fact, I didn't learn my characters from Master Chen at all, I knew it long before I met Master Chen, and it was all taught by immortals! It's the same with painting, the ability to make sugar, the ability to be a Luban bird, are all taught by immortals! ”
Old Man Guan was still skeptical.
Guan Kunyu saw that Old Man Guan still refused to believe it, so he could only sigh.
"Alas...... I was going to talk about it later, but now it seems that I can't do it without saying it, grandpa, come with me, I'll show you something. ”
Old Man Guan was puzzled and went out with Guan Kunyu, all the way to the stream.
Guan Kunyu walked to a water nest and touched it, and then began to throw river mussels on the river bank one by one.
"How can there be so many mussels here?"
"Because I raised these things."
"You...... Raising river mussels? Old Man Guan only felt that his brain was about to turn today, "If you want to eat river mussel meat, just say it, what else do you want to raise them?" ”
"Raising river mussels......" said Guan Kunyu while taking a knife to pry open a river mussel, "Of course, it's for the pearls inside." ”
When Guan Kunyu pinched out the pearls, Old Man Guan's eyes lit up, but they quickly returned to normal - it was true that there were pearls, but they were a little smaller and not very round.
"Derpy, you're really lucky, the first mussel found a pearl."
"Good luck indeed." Guan Kunyu agreed.
Different from modern pearl farming, Guan Kunyu's experiments alone are too poor and manpower is too poor after all, and there is no room for choosing river mussels, so he can only plant pearl nuclei on all the mussels he finds, and a considerable part of them are actually no longer suitable for pearl farming. However, last year's pearl harvest gave him some experience and can roughly determine which mussels are likely to have pearls.
So, when the second pearl was taken out, Old Man Guan smiled kindly.
When the third one appeared, Old Man Guan stopped talking.
When the fourth one appeared, Old Man Guan's mouth was already open.
When the fifth one appeared, Old Man Guan jumped up.
"Dumb you...... You...... Can you raise pearls!? ”
