Chapter 770: Go to the Pearl Field

The next day, it was the tenth day of the seventh month, and the weather was fine.

Although it was already midnight when she came back last night, it was probably yesterday afternoon that she had a drink.

The reason why he slept for too long, Ye Qing woke up early today.

At this time, it was already dawn, but because of the incident that their group was hunted down and killed the day before yesterday, and they were disturbed last night, the whole courtyard was still very quiet.

I guess they haven't gotten up yet.

Ye Qing got up, and seeing that Qian Junbao was not by his side, he yawned a lot first, stretched his waist, and then took his clothes and put them on.

She opened her lips and wanted to call for Dongqu to come and comb her hair, but she quickly gave up again.

walked to the dresser and took a ball at random, inserted a silver hairpin, and then took the handkerchief and copper basin for washing his face, and Ye Qing walked out.

After fetching water and washing her face, she took out a set of toothbrushes and toothpaste that she had exchanged from the space and began to brush her teeth.

As soon as I finished washing, I saw Qian Junbao appear, holding a book in his hand, followed by a post house servant.

The little guy was walking towards the dining room with a large food box of vermilion mahogany in his hand.

"Junbao." Ye Qing put away the toothbrush and toothpaste and called softly.

Qian Junbao stopped and turned his head, and said with a smile: "Lady, you are awake."

It just so happened that I asked them to prepare breakfast, and we used it together? ”

"Well, you wait for me for a while."

After breakfast, Ye Qing arranged for Qian Duoduo to return to Chongyang with the goods and sustenances she bought.

It's hot, otherwise something will go bad.

Then she took the title deed given by Chu Pengfei and planned to go to Xia Cheng to accept the pearl farming island.

I am in such a hurry because the space gold coins are about to bottom out.

Qian Junbao wanted to accompany Ye Qing, but she refused, he had just experienced the incident of being hunted down, and the weather was hot, and his health was not very good, so he still didn't run around outside.

She asked Qian Junbao to stay in the post house, and by the way, she could take care of Bai Lichu's injuries.

Qian Junbao thought about it for a while and quickly agreed.

Rather than let Ye Qing take care of Bai Lichu all the time, he would rather come by himself.

The guy suddenly gave up his life to save him, which gave him a sense of crisis.

Soon, Ye Qing left the post house with only Huo Zimeng.

Sitting on the big boat that went to Xia City, Ye Qing leaned on the deck railing, blowing the sea breeze.

A ray of golden light rises from the eastern sea, and the sea breeze blows, and the waves are sparkling, which is very beautiful.

The sunrise on the sea is very spectacular, but Ye Qing has no intention of appreciating it.

The night before, she experienced two groups of people chasing and killing, one of which was from Wofu, and she already knew it, and it was not surprising.

Another group of people, I heard that they came for the Buddha statue, who was it, Qian Junbao didn't explain too much to her.

But this also reminded her that some things that were too rebellious to the ancients really shouldn't be taken out when they were not able to protect themselves.

Although she was able to deal with those robbers for the time being last time, what if the other party sent them out a little more powerful?

Now that she is not alone, it is inevitable that she will affect others.

Just like Bai Lichu, he suddenly gave up his body to block the knife, which Ye Qing did not expect.

These two things originally had nothing to do with Bai Lichu, and he was seriously injured, which made Ye Qing very unhappy in his heart.

After almost an hour of sailing, the ship had come to the beach of the Chu family's pearl farming island.

This island is called Sanbao Island, and the area is not very large, but the beach on the periphery of the island looks very white, and the water is much clearer than what later generations saw.

As soon as the ship broke anchor, several people approached the beach and looked at the boat.

Ye Qing got off the boat wearing a white gauze curtain, and a middle-aged man wearing a brown silk shirt and a mustache walked over.

He arched his hand and smiled at Ye Qing: "You are the Mrs. Qian that Chu Sanshao said, you came here today to prepare for the acceptance of this island?" ”

Ye Qing bowed slightly, it seemed that Chu Pengfei had already explained to them, it was better this way.

Seeing Ye Qing nodding, the man smiled slightly and said, "Mrs. Qian, in Xia Wang Yongping, is the manager of the pearl farm on this island.

If you have any questions, just ask me, and I will know everything. ”

"Show me around first." Ye Qing said lightly.

Under the leadership of Wang Yongping, Ye Qing successfully entered a pearl farm on the edge of the island.

The scale of this farm is quite large, there are more than a dozen large ponds in the farm, each with an area of several acres.

Bamboo rafts float on it, and some workers are sitting on the edge of the bamboo rafts.

There are also rows of bamboo huts built around it, which is probably a place for them to work and rest.

Seeing Ye Qing looking at the workers on the bamboo row, Wang Yongping introduced to her: "This is the place where pearl oysters are cultivated, there are a total of eighteen ponds, each pond is five acres large.

There are 300 cages in each pond and 500 pearl oysters in one cage.

However, the pearl oysters here are all small shellfish, and for most mussel farmers, the seedling work of pearl mussels is generally not carried out.

Therefore, after these pearl mussels have been raised for half a year, they can also be sold to other mussel farmers.

There are three such farms on the island, which can produce more than 30,000 taels of pearls per year. ”

"Yes, how many years has this farm been in business?"

"It's been more than eight years."

Ye Qing bowed his head, put his hands behind his back, and said to Wang Yongping in a big way: "Ask someone to bring me a live mussel that can take pearls, don't pry it open!" ”

Wang Yongping was stunned, but naturally he would not have any opinion on her instructions, and quickly asked someone to fetch a five-year-old big pearl mussel.

"Mrs. Qian, I'll take you to the bead planting workshop to have a look."

"Bead workshop?"

"It's the place where pearls are bred for pearls, do you want to see it?"

Ye Qing's eyes blinked, and he thought clearly: "Oh, are you talking about the kind that puts something into the pearl mussel?" ”

"Exactly."

Ye Qing nodded, "Then let's go and have a look." ”

The room is spacious and bright, with dozens of tables lined up in four rows, most of which have a person working with their heads down.

Ye Qing saw a worker take out a palm-sized pearl oyster from the bucket next to the table, skillfully pry open some of the shells with a black knife, and then stuffed a few white grains of rice into the shells with something like a small clip.

The worker's movements were very fast, and it only took more than ten seconds for them to throw the pearl oysters into another large vat.

Ye Qing had seen this kind of operation on some news before, but it was the first time he had witnessed it with his own eyes.

She couldn't help but stop at a table, take a closer look, and find that the ancients made this "medium" for pearl mussels is not much different from that of later generations.

It is to put some foreign species into the outer membrane of the pearl oyster, and then the pearl oyster will slowly secrete nacre to wrap the foreign matter into the shell, and after a long time, it will form a pearl.

Soon, a worker walked over with a pearl mussel the size of two palms and respectfully handed it to Ye Qing.
