"Miss Gu, is there the pearl you said?" The villager asked, expectantly.

"Yes." Gu Tingcheng nodded affirmatively, and then took a knife to cut open the protruding flesh, revealing a white pearl the size of a thumb.

It's really beautiful, and it's round, if this is in modern times, it definitely belongs to the top grade, and the price is not low.

Gu Qingcheng took it out, washed it in the river, and handed it to Yu Niang to take a look.

He searched for other protruding places of the big mussel and slashed them one by one with a knife.

There are so many pearls, and this river mussel can live for so long, it's really rare.

And there are also a few pink pearls.

After all the pearls were taken out, Gu Tingcheng took them into the water and washed them before giving them to everyone to see.

Everyone was also a little amazed when they saw such a beautiful pearl.

It's so beautiful!

"I don't know uncle, do you sell this pearl?" Gu Tingcheng asked the villagers who dug up this river mussel.

"Sell, of course you have to sell, it's useless for me to keep it, Miss Gu, you say, how to sell it? I listen to you. Uncle said boldly, after all, he didn't know what pearls were, and he didn't know what to do with them.

What can be exchanged for money is naturally exchanged for money.

And he also believed that Gu Qingcheng would not pit him.

"This kind of small pearl, we charge 100 Wen a piece, this big one, a tael of silver, what do you think?" Gu Chengcheng is a relatively fair price.

After all, the villagers will not lose in this way, and they will not lose either.

"So much? One hundred! Everyone gasped, this thing is so valuable?

You must know that they are only about one or two hundred wen a month, but this thing is only 100 wen each, and the big one is even one or two silver!

They only spend a tael a year!

"Isn't that going to be too much?" The villager asked with some embarrassment.

"No, the price is just right. You take these pearls first, and when you get back, you can trade them with us. Gu Qingcheng said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll go back and wait for you guys first." Uncle carefully took the pearl and went home with his basket on his back.

Lest he be here again, he has dug so much.

That's at least 20 of them! It's all money!

Seeing him gone, the rest of the people became more motivated.

Now that the price has come out, some people have ventured into the depths for money.

"Let's go back too, the rice should be almost cooked. Let your people go back to eat too, there is time to dig in the afternoon, not to mention that we can still buy it. Gu Qingcheng said to Yu Niang.

Yu Niang nodded and let his people go back to eat.

Then he followed Gu Qingcheng back.

On the way, Yu Niang asked

"Allure, will we charge a higher price?" After all, a river mussel has more than 20 pearls, the big one is one or two silver, and the small one is 100 Wen, will they lose?

"No, you must know that not every river mussel has so many, just like I just dug it, and I opened a few big ones, but there may not be them."

"Okay."

"By the way, these pearls can also be made into jewelry, after all, there are few such things, and they are beautiful, and if you brag about it, there must be a lot of people who buy them. The price of jewelry has always been relatively high, so we will not lose anything. Gu Qingcheng explained.

"I know, don't worry, I can still afford this money." After all, her family business is quite large.

After returning home, Honghua said that the rice had been almost done, but the river mussels had not been fried yet, and they were afraid that the river mussels would not taste good after being cooked for a long time, so they would wait for them to come back and fry them.

So Gu Qingcheng drank two cups of tea, and all the dishes were ready.

Honghua: They brought all the dishes to the table.

Gu Qingcheng sat on the table and looked at the dishes they had made today.

I made a dish of braised fish, and a fillet, and then fried a tomato, and this should be pork liver soup.

Then there's a big pot of mussel meat.

"Let's eat it, the food you cooked today was pretty good." Gu Qingcheng praised them.

"This is all learned from you, girl, try this river mussel meat, how about it is fried? Is there any old? Orchid looked at Gu Qingcheng expectantly.

You have to know this dish, but she does it herself. And this dish is a difficult dish, she hasn't made it before.

Gu Tingcheng also had a lot of face and added a chopstick.

I tasted it carefully

"It's good, it's not old, and the taste is okay, but you put more salt, and next time you put less salt."

"Okay, I see, girl." Although it was not perfect, Orchid was still very happy to hear Gu Tingcheng's statement.

"It's really delicious, crispy and tender, and I've never tasted it before." Yu Niang took a bite and commented with a smile.

"Thank you, Miss Rain, for the compliment." After the orchid thanked her, she went into the kitchen by herself.

After eating, Gu Qingcheng asked Yu Niang to go back to the room to rest for a while, after all, it was the hottest time.

Yu Niang was indeed a little tired, so she went back to her room to rest.

Although Gu Tingcheng was not very tired, it was already a habit to take a lunch break, so he also went in to rest.

As for the safflower and orchid, what do they like, Gu Qingcheng generally doesn't care about them.

So a few people are also more free.

"Orchid girl, I'm a little thirsty, can you help me make a pot of iced tea?" Xiao Liu asked as he sat on the table.

At this time, the three of them gathered around a table, and Yu Niang's two girls also sat at another table.

"Do you have no hands, do you want to call it an orchid?" Honghua scolded him unceremoniously.

"Ahem, Sister Honghua, don't I know? Besides, it's not called an orchid, but who? You won't help me get it. Xiao Liu retorted.

"You didn't call me, how do you know? I'm not going to get it for you? Honghua asked sarcastically.

"Okay, Sister Honghua, would you like to make me a pot of iced tea?"

"I do, but I'm sorry, I won't." Honghua said with a sneer.

"......" Xiao Liu suddenly said that he was a little speechless.

But the good thing is that the orchid has already gone in.

The two of them were suddenly a little quiet, but they heard two girls not far away

"It's so strange this morning, how did you think we both fainted so well?"

"Yes, Miss said, the two of us fell down suddenly, she screamed for a long time to wake up, it's really strange, are we evil?"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"I'm not talking nonsense, don't you think it's strange here? How can a small mountain village develop so well? To say that there are no ghosts, who would believe it? ”

"Shhhh The other girl hurriedly covered the mouth of the girl who was talking just now, and her eyes glanced at Honghua and them.

Although they think that their voices are so small that others cannot hear them.

But I don't know that Xiaoliu and Honghua are both people who know martial arts, and their hearing is much better than that of normal people.

What they said, they heard clearly.

Honghua and Xiaoliu glanced at each other, but neither spoke.
