Chapter Twenty-Six: Finally the Mussels Are Blooming
Xie Siyun opened the mussels, and everyone's heads came over, almost squeezing Chu Yue aside.
After touching the entire mussel meat, Xie Siyun's hand paused in a corner, and with a slight buckle, a round-smooth pearl slipped from the mussel meatβ
"Shhhh
Chu Yue could hear the sound of someone gasping behind her, and she also looked at it, and her heart shook: The pearl lying in Xie Siyun's palm is very small, and it can be said that it is the smallest pearl in this normal competition.
And this pearl is not extraordinarily round, but somewhat oval, which is really not the best in terms of size and shape.
It's strange that this pearl is pale yellow!
Not the pale yellow that is smeared by the afterglow of the setting sun, but a soft pale yellow glow that radiates from the inside out. Although this yellow color is not deep, it is obviously very different from the milky white pearl in Xie Honghui's hand.
"He's got the beads!"
Naturally, someone in the crowd exclaimed: "Our Pearl Village, we haven't seen colored beads for ten years!" β
Even Chu Yue, who is not interested in pearl diving, was also excited when he heard this: "Really, the best is always left at the end!" β
Carefully handing over the pearl to the village chief and the pawnshop shopkeeper for identification, Xie Siyun's hand patted Xie An's shoulder heavily: "Xiao An, well done!" β
The village chief and the pawnshop shopkeeper looked at the pearl compared to the sunset, and even sniffed it with their noses, and finally nodded to confirm: "It is indeed a pale yellow colored pearl, although it is small, it is also very valuable, and it is on par with the one in Xie Honghui's hand!" β
"How can it not be comparable?!"
As soon as these words came out, the first person who was anxious was Yan Sulan: "Although his one is a colored bead, it is too small, right?" And the shape and gloss are not enough, even if it is a color bead, what is the use? It is also the lowest grade in the color beads, how can it be compared with our big and bright one? β
She was anxious to be righteous, but Chu Yue's heart was clouded with a layer of haze because of this: their three rooms had been neglected, and now that it touches on the interests of the matter, I am afraid that everyone will choose to help the big house, which is still powerful, and no one will stand on their side.
Just thinking like this, he heard Xie Jiangqi beside him muttering in a low voice: "But I haven't seen colored beads for ten years, this is a rare treasure." Anyway, I like these colored pearls, better than ordinary pearls. β
As soon as Xie Jiangqi's words fell, he was glared at by Yan Sulan viciously: "There is no place for you to intervene as a four-room maid here!" β
was reprimanded by it, Xie Jiangqi was not annoyed, stuck out his tongue, turned his head to Chu Yue is smile, as if telling Chu Yue that she always supported them.
But Xie Jiangqi's support alone was useless, such a thing was cut and messed up, and in the end, the old man of the Xie family was invited to come out to administer justice.
Sure enough, even the old man of the Xie family looked at the pearl thoughtfully: "Indeed, although it is a colored pearl, if it is calculated according to how many catties and taels it can be sold, this one is really comparable to Honghui's." β
As a result, even a few people who evaluated the results made it difficult.
After discussing and muttering together for a long time, they probably saw whether they were the neglected Sanfang, or tilted the scales towards Xie Honghui's side: "Pearl diving is a craft, not luck." The value of the two pearls was almost the same, but Xie Honghui went ashore early, while Xie An was slow to go ashore until the time was almost up. We think that Xie Honghui's technology is better. β
So the implication is that they were just lucky enough to pick this pearl?
The first moon is not convinced!
Seeing that she was about to step forward to theorize, she felt that the hand that had been strong and strong all the time grabbed her wrist tightly.
raised his eyes, and crashed into Xie Siyun's eyes. All day, he was always serious and cold, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
But at this moment, the last ray of the slanting sun reflected in his eyes, and there was a little more soft halo in plainness, as if to tell the early moon that there is no need to worry, the cold moonlight has not yet arrived, and there is always justice between heaven and earth.
After staring at Chu Yue for a long time, he calmly raised his head, looked at the mess, and said calmly: "Don't we still have a pearl mussel?" Open that one first, and then there is a conclusion. β
"Hahaha! Wish for the moon! β
As soon as Yan Sulan heard this, she smiled and crossed her waist: "Do you really think that you can get another colored bead?" The pearl mussel is a little bigger than the one you drive, I'm afraid there is nothing in it, so don't waste everyone's time! β
She was so arrogant, but she didn't shake Xie Siyun's composure: "Auntie is scared?" β
Hearing this, Yan Sulan's eyes widened, and her voice rose: "I'm afraid?!" What am I afraid of?! β
Xie Siyun smiled calmly: "Since you are not afraid, it won't be long before you open the mussels, why did the eldest aunt speak out and obstruct it?" β
He didn't leave Yan Sulan's face at every word, which made Yan Sulan's face extremely ugly, and even gritted her teeth: "Okay!" You can be eloquent, I can't talk about you, but do you dare to make a bet with me? β
