Chapter 9 Jade Tridacnis

"That's ...... Clams?" Peng Lao was stunned.

"It's a little small, but it should be right, at a glance, it seems that the degree of jade is not low. The tall middle-aged man nodded.

"But the little girl seemed to be playing with it. Peng Lao said with a smile.

"That's why I found it interesting. The tall middle-aged man laughed.

"Yuhua Tridacnis, is it impossible?" Zhou Hai couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this, just now his attention was on the brown crab and mouse spots, and he didn't pay attention to the net bag that Chen Xi was carrying, and he didn't dare to think that the villagers here would actually carry the Yuhua Tridacna to wander around.

"Little girl, can you show me the shells in your hand?" asked Peng Lao.

"Why do you want to show you?" Chen Xi said vigilantly.

"Don't worry, I won't rob you or break you, just take a look. Seeing that Chen Xi looked wary of himself, Peng Lao couldn't help but be happy.

Chen Xi turned her head to look at Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan nodded, and then she handed the net bag out. The tall middle-aged man took it, opened the net bag, and Peng Lao reached out to take out the shell.

There are three shells in total, twenty or thirty centimeters long, very thick, and quite heavy in the hand. It is slightly triangular, with a curved top and a wave-shaped buckling at the edge. The surface is gray, with several deep grooves that look like they have been run over by wheels. The outside is relatively rough and not pretty, but the inside is as white as jade. Two of them looked worse, with some cracks and insect eyes, and one was intact and warm as jade.

"This is really jade. After Zhou Hai took a closer look, he was surprised, turned his head to look at Chen Xuan and Chen Xi, and thought to himself What happened to these two brothers and sisters, even if they didn't forget about the stinging cucumber, brown crab, and mouse spot, they actually carried the jade clams around? Now that Peng Lao sees it, it's not good for him to interfere anymore.

"These three pieces are actually not bad. Peng Lao was surprised.

"These two pieces are a little bit different, and this one is amazing. The middle-aged man pointed to the most beautiful piece and said, "The whole piece of clams, the part with a high degree of jadeization, accounts for more than 10%, which is simply rare." ”

"Unfortunately, it's too small and thin. Peng Lao said.

Chen Bin, Chen Hua, Chen Xi, and others were all a little confused, how small is a shell with a length of twenty or thirty centimeters? Also, what exactly is a jade clam? A few people know about the clams, but they don't know much about the jade clams.

"Grandpa, what are you talking about?" asked Chen Xi humbly.

"Little girl, you should have heard of clams, right?" Peng Lao said, seeing Chen Xi's confused look, he couldn't help but smile, "The so-called clams are a marine animal of the mollusk phylum Bivalves, and it is also the largest bivalve shellfish in the ocean. The large body length can reach more than one meter and the weight can reach more than 300 kilograms, so these clams are considered small and should be underage. ”

"As for the jade clams, there is another way. It refers to the organic gem formed after the clams die alive, and its chitin is buried by sediment in the seabed and precipitated for thousands of years. Speaking of which, I can't help but ask, where did you get these three pieces of jade clams. ”

"My brother caught it by the sea. Chen Xi said.

"Caught by the sea again?" Peng Lao was a little speechless, looking at Chen Xi's innocent appearance, it didn't look like he was lying. However, in this sea area, is there really such a high degree of jade? This probability is not much higher than buying a lottery ticket to win the lottery. When he saw the brown crab and mouse spots before, he was surprised, and now he can only sigh, what kind of luck did this guy go?

"What kind of clams are this, after all, they are just shells, not worth a few dollars, right?" At this time, Liu Yinghua interjected again, listening to what Peng Lao said, what kind of clams seemed to be very rare, she was worried, and now the most concerned thing is the price.

"The conditions for the formation of jade clam are quite harsh, it takes thousands of years, and with years of indiscriminate mining, the number has long been in jeopardy. How can things be worthless if they are scarce and expensive?" Peng Lao replied to Liu Yinghua, which made Liu Yinghua's face even heavier.

"Young man, little girl, I am a little interested in these three clams. But I don't want to lie to you, so I'll tell you more. Peng Lao looked amiable and said slowly, "The value of jade clams mainly depends on several aspects: the degree of jadeization, the number of white moire, whether there are cracks and insect eyes, luster, oiliness, color, and so on. These two clams have cracks and insect eyes on them, and the degree of jade is also low, and their value is limited. This piece is intact, the degree of jade is also quite high, and the value is much greater......"

Peng Lao obviously belongs to the type of good teacher, explained in great detail, and finally came to a conclusion: "I'll give an estimate, three yuan for a total of 30,000 yuan, how about you sell it to me?"

Hearing this price, Chen Xuan and Chen Xi both opened their mouths slightly, and they were pleasantly surprised. I originally wanted to pick up the shells to play with, but I didn't expect them to be so valuable, Chen Xuan felt that this Peng Lao was trustworthy, if he wanted to lie to himself, it was better not to tell the value of the jade clams, so he said without hesitation: "Grandpa, then listen to you, sell it to you for 30,000." ”

"Deal. Peng Lao nodded and smiled, and immediately Alipay transferred Chen Xuan 30,000.

"Thirty thousand, my goodness. ”

"Isn't that worth more than the giant brown crab of Bambi? ”

"I really can't see it, but I think about whether I picked up this kind of shell before, and then I threw it away, and the more I think about it, the more painful it becomes. ”

"I have a few pieces at home that seem to be about the same, so I'll go get them. ”

"I don't have any shells at home, but I can go fishing. Let's go to the sea, fishing for sea cucumbers, brown crabs, rat spots, jade clams, our seaside resources may be far more abundant than we imagined. ”

Seeing that Chen Xuan changed hands and made another 30,000 yuan, no one could be calm this time.

Chen Yue pretended to be calm, but could not hide his shock. Liu Yinghua is whole person is not good, she was originally ready to welcome the envy of the people in the village for herself, and took the opportunity to ridicule Chen Xuan's family, but in the blink of an eye, Chen Xuan's money earned in a day was as high as 57,000, which was almost comparable to her husband for three months, and she dumped her husband for a few streets.

Listening to the people around her who were exclaiming Chen Xuan, no one discussed her husband anymore, thinking that Chen Xuan's family might counterattack from now on, and press on their heads in the future, the more Liu Yinghua thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became, she had nowhere to go in her breath, her chest was stuffy, and her head suddenly dizzy, and her steps shook, if it weren't for Chen Yue's eyes and hands to help her, I am afraid she would have fallen.
