Chapter 297: Golden Carp's Friend
The town is the only subordinate territory under Fengxiang's jurisdiction built by the sea, and the east of the territory is the vast ocean, and the area where the town is located happens to be located in a large bay.
The bay is more than 30 miles long, in the form of an irregular semicircle, the diameter of this semicircle is about 20 miles, and the wharf is built at the center point of the semicircle. In such a bay, even if ten of the largest warships of the Han Dynasty entered and exited at the same time, there was no problem, and the most commendable thing was that the port of the town was still a deep-water port.
Because the dock is located in a depression of 6 places, even without the protection of the golden carp, the ships moored at the pier can avoid most storms at sea. Objectively speaking, Jiang Qi put a lot of effort into the location of the foreign town.
Such a bay actually produces pearls!
Under the guidance of several teenagers, the fishermen of the town confirmed that there were indeed pearls in the bay, and they caught a few natural pearls, and there were a large number of pearl oysters on the bottom of the sea, which had never been seen before. This kind of situation made the villagers of the foreign town sensational, many villagers were talking excitedly, and several teenagers who had regarded pearls as "beautiful stones" also woke up like a dream.
Pearl shellfish, also known as pearl mother, is a warm sea-dwelling shellfish with shells that vary in size from left to right, usually the left shell is larger than the right shell, and the depression is deeper than the right shell. The length of the shell is about the same as the height, usually about 6 to 7 centimeters tall and can be more than 10 centimeters.
Pearl shellfish are marine shellfish that produce pearls!
Since Jiang Qin led the Canglan Naval Division to leave the territory, Lu Han had taken over the defense of the town, and when pearls were produced in the bay where the town was now located, the soldiers of the Shanzi battalion stationed in the town had begun to patrol the bay.
A certain city lord and Jiang Qi had already understood that the real reason for the upgrade of the town was obviously inseparable from these sudden pearls, and the value of the pearls was obviously far greater than the fishermen's catches. If it weren't for those teenagers who salvaged pearls from the bottom of the sea, there would be no way to complete the upgrade mission in Alien Town.
China is one of the first countries in the world to use pearls, as early as 4ooo years ago, Hepu pearls are treasures in our court. In the book "Huainanzi" written by Liu An in the Han Dynasty, it was recorded: "The pearl of the bright moon is the disease of the snail and my benefit." It shows that at that time, our country had recognized the cause of pearls.
The bay where the town is located is a natural harbor, more than a mile from the coast, and the water depth has reached 15 meters, which is still suitable for shellfish growth. However, the only dock in Fengxiang City is built next to the wharf, and the noise from the shipyard during the non-stop production day and night has an impact on many aquatic animals, and from this point of view, the bay of the town is actually not the most suitable place for shellfish to move and grow.
In addition, the appearance of pearl shellfish in foreign town is also very sudden.
The time goes back to two months ago, when the weather was hot, and there were countless villagers swimming in the bay where the town was located, and of course there were more divers, but at that time there were no pearl shells in the bay.
Now the time in the game is late autumn, and the temperature of the sea is not pleasant, in this climate, ordinary NPC villagers will not go to the sea without nothing, and the diving of several teenagers from foreign towns is purely a manifestation of the teenager's heart.
In other words, the pearl shells in the bay of Takelai Town should have just appeared recently!
After a certain city lord groaned, he already had a trace of enlightenment. After smiling faintly and instructing Jiang Qi and Lu Han to be responsible for maintaining order, Ah Niu walked along the beach alone, and soon came to a deserted beach and made a few strange movements.
It's not that Ah Niu is on a whim, or he is stimulated by the good news that pearls have appeared in the territory. Before releasing the golden carp into the sea, the golden carp taught Niu a special way of communication, so that Niu could quickly contact the miraculous carp.
The golden carp was originally the guardian beast of Fengxiang City, and a large number of pearl shells suddenly appeared in the sea area of the town, and the guardian beast had no reason not to know the reason.
The golden carp soon appeared on the surface of the water in front of Ah Niu.
"Master, what's the matter?"
After Ah Niu told the story of the appearance of pearls in the town, the carp quickly reacted. As expected, the golden carp did know about this matter, and what made a certain city lord even more surprised was that the appearance of the real pearl shell was clearly created by this dead fish!
At the invitation of the golden carp, the golden carp was released into the sea, and the golden carp soon began to visit friends. As the golden carp that failed to leap over the dragon gate, its friends will naturally not be "ordinary people", to be precise, not even "people" at all, but one thing is certain: they are all creatures full of spirituality in the sea!
For example, a friend brought back by the golden carp this time, who was called Xiaobei's, Bei Niangzi.
Bei Niangzi is a pearl shell, and in the ethnic group is quite high, this time at the invitation of the golden carp to come to the bay adjacent to the town to visit the door, with Bei Niangzi came with thousands of pearl shells. This is the reason why a large number of pearl shells suddenly appeared in the bay of the town.
As for the pearls that appear in the bay, of course, they come from these pearl shells.
Pearl shells live on the bottom of the sea, and the current and the activities of animals on the bottom of the sea are easy to bring up sand grains, and the number of pearls generated in a pearl shell may be as many as more than ten or dozens of pearls. According to the golden carp, pearls, which are extremely precious in the eyes of people, are simply uncomfortable garbage for pearl shells, and they always find a way to remove the garbage from their bodies when they have time.
As for why the golden carp made friends with Bei Niangzi, and how the slow-moving shellfish could complete the migration in such a short time, these details were not a matter of concern to a city lord. You must know that since the golden carp that was supposed to appear in freshwater can appear in the sea, then even if someone tells a certain city lord that the pearl shell can swim five hundred miles a day, a certain city lord will not be surprised.
"How long will Bei Niangzi stay here? Can you let Bei Niangzi settle down with us, so that you don't have to be so troublesome if you want to see friends in the future. It would be better if Bei Niangzi was willing to become the guardian beast in our territory! ”
When Ah Niu knew that Bei Niangzi was just "visiting" and not "settling" this time, he immediately started to think. Just look at the number of pearl shells that followed Bei Niangzi to the town this time, if Bei Niangzi can live in the bay outside the town, Fengxiang will naturally be able to harvest natural pearls for a long time.
"It's not clear how long they will live, but in fact, Bei Niangzi is still very satisfied with the environment here, and the water temperature and depth are very moderate. With my friendship with Bei Niangzi, I believe it will not be difficult to let it settle here, but whether it can become a guardian beast is not something I can be sure of. ”
Under the persuasion of the golden carp, Bei Niangzi really agreed to the request to settle in Fengxiang, but she was not interested in serving as the guardian beast of Fengxiang City. But this result has already made a certain city lord quite satisfied, no matter whether Bei Niangzi becomes a guardian beast or not, as long as she is sure of living, it is already a great thing.
"Ding-dong. Due to the quiet environment of the bay in Fengxiang, which is suitable for the growth of shellfish, the Zhenzhen shellfish group in the East China Sea settled in Fengxiang Bay under the leadership of Bei Niangzi; Fengxiang City's new specialty: East China Sea pearls. Congratulations to Zheng Aniu players. ”
This kind of information naturally made Ah Niu smile from ear to ear, and while rejoicing that the golden carp had attracted the pearl shell tribe for the territory, he was also quite proud of the fact that he had released the golden carp into the sea in the first place. However, although pearl shells can produce pearls, the collection of pearls is not an easy task, and it is impossible to send a large number of people to search around the bottom of the sea, or use violent means to obtain pearls! If that happens, I'm afraid that the Pearl Shell Clan will soon leave Fengxiang.
A certain city lord had a flash of inspiration in his mind, took out a pearl and said to the golden carp:
"This kind of small stone, there must be a lot of pearl shells in the body, not long after coming to us, they littered the bottom of the sea, this behavior is obviously wrong."
"Well, the living habits are really bad, but if you don't throw these small stones, they will be uncomfortable, especially the relatively large stones......"
"It's a pity to say, it seems inhuman not to let them throw stones, but you can't just let them go. So, I'll have people put a large porcelain plate at intervals on the bottom of the sea, and I'll send someone to clean up the garbage at regular intervals. ”
"The master is wise!"
As a result, under the painstaking teaching of the golden carp, the pearl shells who settled in Fengxiang Bay were quickly cultivated into good living habits.
The emergence of pearls in the East China Sea made Fengxiang finally have a second specialty after Baihua wine, and this special product is far more widely used than Baihua wine.
The most commendable thing is that this specialty is not like Baihua Liquor that requires raw materials, craftsmen, and shops, and is basically costless and profitable, and even a certain city lord only needs to regularly send people to take the pearls in the porcelain plate on the seabed, which is almost comparable to an automatic production line.
The only thing that is slightly lacking is that the output of pearls in the East China Sea is not too high, at least in the consciousness of a certain city lord, the output of "only" two or three hundred pearls per month is far from enough.
