Chapter 224: Pearl Diving
When Sun Qing and Sun Feng heard this, they only wanted to see the scenery, so they had to remove the sails, row the boat pulp, and row in the direction pointed by Xu Qingyan.
Anyway, I won't be diving pearls today, so it's better to let this eldest lady have a good time, and then leave quickly.
After rowing the boat to the place designated by Xu Qingyan, Sun Qing and Sun Feng still sat in place after putting away the boat pulp.
Seeing that they had no intention of going into the water, Xu Qingyan reminded: "There are a lot of pearl oysters here, are the two uncles sure they won't go into the water?" ”
Sun Qing said idly when she heard this: "How did the girl know that there were pearl shells under this water?"
"I saw it."
Of course she knew, otherwise what else would they be doing with their boat here, of course, pearl diving.
Under this water, with the ship as the center, the pearl shells gathered within a radius of 100 meters are more than ten times larger than in the previous place.
Sun Qing sneered in disbelief: "Girl, don't talk nonsense, Zhubei is sunk to the bottom of the river more than ten meters underwater, how can human eyes see through this surging river." ”
Of course, the human eye can't do it, but girl, I am the eye of God.
"I was born with excellent eyesight, there are hundreds of pearl oysters under this water, as for whether what I said is true, Uncle will know when he tries it." Xu Qingyan said with a straight face.
Seeing that her expression didn't seem to be panicked, Old Man Sun pondered for a moment, and then said to Sun Qing and Sun Feng: "Why don't you two go down and have a look?" ”
Sun Qing was silent, obviously still not convinced.
After hesitating for a moment, Sun Feng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go down and see, is what the girl said true or false?" ”
When Old Man Sun heard this, he helped Sun Feng tie the long rope, because he just went into the water to visit, so he didn't bring a bead basket or a knife.
Sun Feng entered the water with ease, and when his body sank to six meters underwater, he saw three pearl oysters scattered three meters below his body.
His eyes lit up suddenly, and then he waved his hands again and again, scooping all the three pearl shells under him into his palms, and then pulled the long rope on his waist vigorously.
Old man Sun on the boat saw that the long rope was moving, and immediately began to pull the rope, and Sun Qing hurriedly ran over to help when he saw this.
The two quickly lifted the rope, and after a while, Sun Feng emerged from under the water.
He surfaced, didn't bother to speak, and gasped for air.
After dozens of seconds, I felt that my chest cavity had recovered and was not so swollen, so I raised my hands under the water.
Said to Old Man Sun and Sun Qing: "Second uncle, eldest brother, there are really pearls under the water, the girl didn't lie to us." ”
Looking at the three pearls in Sun Feng's hand, Old Man Sun and Sun Qing both had their hearts skipping a beat.
Three, really three!
Just after Sun Feng entered the water, the girl said that Sun Feng could bring three pearl shells up.
Sure enough, she could actually see what was going on underwater.
Thinking of these two people, their hearts suddenly became excited, and just now she said that there are hundreds of pearl shells under this water.
"Hurry up and change A-Qing into the water." As he spoke, he pulled Sun Feng onto the boat.
When Sun Qing heard this, he immediately tied the rope to his body, and when he saw him, he was about to go into the water.
Considering that it was difficult for them to hold their breath underwater, Xu Qingyan pointed him to a specific location.
"Ten meters ahead, five pearls underwater."
Sun Qing paused when he was about to enter the water, and then his eyes lit up.
There is a specific direction, so he doesn't have to look around after he gets into the water, so that the breath-holding time can be shorter.
When Sun Feng heard this, he hurriedly followed her instructions to move the boat forward ten meters.
When he arrived at the designated position, Sun Qing jumped without a trace of hesitation.
After diving into the water, he looked around with wide eyes, and sure enough, as far as the eye could see, there were five scattered pearl shells.
This time, he went into the water and brought the pearl diving basket, quickly picked up the five pearl shells into the pearl basket one by one, and then pulled the long rope vigorously.
Seeing this, Old Man Sun and the others hurriedly retracted the rope and lifted him out of the water.
In this way, the two rotated, and after an hour, the board of the ship was full of pearl oysters, and at this time there were still hundreds of pearl oysters under the water that had not been taken.
Old man Sun pulled Sun Qing, who wanted to go into the water again, and said with a smile: "Forget it, let's rest for a while, and then get down, there is no place to put your feet on the boat." ”
"Let's take advantage of the rest to open these pearls and mussels, and take out the pearls."
When Xu Qingyan heard that the beads were about to be opened, she hurriedly came over.
In fact, if she wanted to know if there were any pearls in these pearls, and how many pearls there were, she would know as long as she had a sense of consciousness to sweep them.
It's just that what's the point of that, and it's interesting that I didn't know it beforehand.
Old man Sun sat down on the board of the boat, took a medium-sized pearl shell beside him, and when he stabbed down, the pearl mussel was split into two, revealing the mussel meat and pearls inside.
As soon as more than a dozen pearls of different sizes and shapes appeared, they caused Lingxian and Zelan to exclaim again and again.
"Wow, that's a lot of pearls." Zeeland shouted.
The first mussel bloomed so many pearls that it made a few people so excited.
Old man Sun picked the pearls with a happy face at this time, put the big ones together with a round face, and put the small ones together with the ones that were not in good shape.
Seeing this, Sun Qing and Sun Feng couldn't help but itch their hands, and deliberately picked up two slightly larger pearl mussels.
As soon as he pried open the bead cover, Zelan exclaimed, "Wow, there are so many pearls." ”
The fairy followed, "There are even pink ones, so beautiful." ”
Sun Qing took out the pearls one by one with a happy face, and there were more than 20 in the end.
However, there are only three large ones, about half a centimeter in diameter, and the others are relatively small, and there are only three pink ones among the twenty or so pearls, and they are not large.
Seeing this, Old Man Sun said happily: "Although these pink ones are not big, they can be sold for a good price with this color alone." ”
Not all pearls are sold by pounds, large and good color pearls can be sold.
Only those small, badly shaped pearls are sold, and there is only one use for these pearls, which is to grind them into pearl powder for beauty and medicine.
Another half an hour passed, and half of the pearl mussels on the ship were opened, and more than four catties of pearls were taken out.
Sun Feng and Sun Qing, who had rested enough, went into the water again and took 90 of the remaining 100 pearl shells, and did not take the remaining 10 or so small pearl shells.
Naturally, they know that they can't fish with all their might, and they must always leave some seeds for reproduction in order to survive.
After picking the remaining pearl shells, a few people were not greedy, and after asking Xu Qingyan, they planned to return.
The return journey was not smooth, so the sails were not used, so they could only rely on Sun Feng and Sun Qing to row back manually.
Old man Sun said with a smile while taking mussels: "I can harvest so many pearl shells today, thanks to the girl's guidance, I propose that the pearl mussels collected today be divided into half of the girl, what do you think?" ”
Sun Feng and Sun Qingzi are not the kind of people who don't know what to do, and they all nodded in praise when they heard the words.
"It should be, it should be."
"Yes, thanks to the girl."
Xu Qingyan didn't shirk when she heard this, and happily responded.
"Okay, since the two uncles and the old man are gracious, I will be disrespectful."
The uncles and nephews of the Sun family can read her good and share her pearls, proving that they are people who know how to make friends.
In fact, even if there are no uncles and nephews of the Sun family, she can easily get these bead mussels. 2k reading web
