Chapter 22: A Thief?
Chen Xuan put the Dragon Palace Weng Rongluo and the pearl on the table and admired it for a moment. Then, looking up information on the Internet, I first checked the Longgong Weng Rongluo, and found that the price of 120,000 yuan from Lei Jianshu was not too high, the Longgong Weng Rongluo was too rare, such a large and intact shell, it is estimated that it may reach 200,000, let alone live.
"Raise it first, look back and see how high the price Mu Lao can get, and then decide whether to sell it to him or not. Chen Xuan put the Dragon Palace Weng Rong snail into a fish tank and raised it.
Then I checked the value of the clams pearls, and I couldn't help but be stunned for this check, and then I found that the original clams do not produce real pearls. The so-called clams pearl refers to the white clot formed in the shell of the clams, which is not composed of nacre, but is composed of calcium carbonate microcrystals in an organic matrix. To put it in layman's terms, it looks like a pearl at first glance, but it is not a pearl.
"In other words, this is not a pearl?" Chen Xuan looked at the bead the size of a ping-pong ball in amazement, and found that no matter how he looked at it, it looked like a real pearl. If you look closely at the light, you will find that it is a little different, it is not translucent like ordinary pearls, and the inside seems milky white. But even so, it's very, very beautiful.
"What should I do now, do I want to take it for identification?" Chen Xuan felt a little empty in his heart, in case it was identified as not a pearl, then it would be a wasteful rejoice? If it was a pearl, such a big one, would it be targeted, and the husband would be innocent of his guilt. Longgong Weng Rongluo is okay or something, but the value of such a big pearl is too amazing.
"It's better to hide it first, find an opportunity, and let a trustworthy friend who happens to know this aspect see. Chen Xuan thought, took the pearl to the kitchen, turned on the faucet to rinse, and brought it back before it was washed, and it was still stained with the slimy things in the clams. In fact, it can be washed in the sea, but Chen Xuan was too nervous at that time, as if he would lose it as soon as he washed it.
After washing, Chen Xuan also wiped it with a cloth, and was surprised to find that this pearl actually exuded a fragrance, which smelled very good, and even made people want to take a bite. This made Chen Xuan not know whether to be happy or depressed, this fragrance is obviously very pleasing, but the question is, is the scented pearl still a pearl, why does it seem to be more and more fake?
Chen Xuan was helpless and temporarily hid the pearl in the drawer of the room.
Then, idle is idle, Chen Xuan began to deal with the fish eggs that were fished up near the reef. Chen Xuan's family also has cages on the other side of the bay to raise fish, there is a hatchery pond at home, pour the fish eggs into it, adjust the temperature to 26~28 °C, generally 10 to 20 hours, you can hatch into fish larvae, that is to say, you can know what kind of fish they are tomorrow at the latest.
For dinner that day, at Chen Xuan's request, Chen Yi slaughtered the catfish and made a sumptuous dinner, and the rest was grilled into dried fish. Although the catfish is not expensive, it is fished from the East China Sea, and the taste is great, and the family has a hearty dinner and is happy.
After eating, his parents and grandmother watched TV, Chen Xuan hid in the room and played on the computer, Chen Xi obviously played with his mobile phone, but he had to lie on Chen Xuan's bed.
At about ten o'clock in the evening, Chen Xuan and Chen Xi heard what their parents were talking about in the kitchen, and their tone was still very excited, so they couldn't help but run out.
Just listened, Li Fengjiao said: "That catfish is too big, except for the boiled one, the rest is used to bake, because it is still hot, it was not put in the refrigerator, covered with a basket, why is it missing? There are also two pieces of dough, which are also missing." ”
"It won't be stolen and eaten by the little fox, right?" said Chen Yi, who is a cat raised at home.
"How can it be, how can it be eaten secretly under the cover of the basket, even if it is secretly eaten, it will not be able to eat so much. Li Fengjiao said.
"That's weird. Chen Yi was puzzled.
"Mom and Dad, the grilled catfish and dough cakes are missing?" Chen Xuan asked as he walked out of the kitchen.
"Not really. Li Fengjiao's face was full of doubts, the baked catfish and dough cakes were gone, and it would not cause much loss, but the problem was that it was too strange.
"You two won't steal it, right?" Chen Yi turned his head and glanced at Chen Xuan and Chen Xi.
"We've had a full dinner, where can we still eat?" Chen Xuan was a little speechless, are they really two brothers and sisters or children?
"Could it be that grandma stole it?" Chen Xi said with a smile.
"Don't talk nonsense. Li Fengjiao was amused, Chen Xi's words were obviously a joke, grandma couldn't eat much, and now she is still asleep.
"Forget it, don't worry about it, it's just some grilled fish and bread, maybe stolen by wild cats, some of which will steal it. Go to bed early, and wake up early tomorrow. Chen Yi said, and said to Chen Xuan and Chen Xi, "You two don't play too late, go to bed early." ”
Chen Yixin was bigger, so he went to sleep, Li Fengjiao was still very concerned, muttering a few words, but thinking that he would have to get up early tomorrow, he had to go to sleep.
Chen Xi also went back to his room this time, after Chen Xuan returned to the room, he didn't sleep immediately, ten o'clock was too early for him. He clicked on "Langya Bang" and watched it, and once chased it once, because he liked it too much, he recently rewatched it.
As a result, he looked at it, but accidentally fell asleep on the table, and when he woke up, saliva flowed all over the table, he wiped off the saliva, and was about to turn off the computer and sleep.
"Huh?" Chen Xuan looked at the computer and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, remembering that he had seen the 13th episode of "Langya Bang" before, and now he was playing the first episode, and he saw more than half of it. Look at the time, at 12:05, even if it plays automatically after falling asleep, it should be episode 14/15/16, how can you skip to the first episode?
"Did I accidentally click it after I fell asleep?" Chen Xuan was still a little dazed in his sleep, and he didn't bother to think about it, so he turned off the computer easily.
At this moment, he saw next to the mouse, an open pack of fries, which had been half eaten, but he had the impression that he had not opened this pack of fries.
"There is a thief in the house?" Chen Xuan suddenly sobered up, and then searched around the room, including the bottom of the wardrobe bed, and then searched the living room and kitchen, but did not find the thief. If you think about it, it's not right, what thief comes into your house and uses your computer and doesn't take it, only steals your grilled fish and pastries, and even eats your fries?
"It's weird. "My parents, grandmother and sister are asleep, and Chen Xuan can't wake them up, after all, it seems that he is probably thinking too much.
However, Chen Xuan was really a little worried, he thought about it, turned on the computer again, and used video surveillance software to set the computer camera to video surveillance.
Then, Chen Xuan lay on the bed, half-squinting, still uneasy. But I was too sleepy, squinting and squinting and still falling asleep without a fight.
