Chapter 12: Selling Pearls (1)
After a simple tidying up, Li Zhi dressed neatly and left the house to go to the dock at the entrance of the village.
Although the road to the village has been connected to the seaside, most of the villagers still travel by ferry, and many families have their own fishing boats.
It takes about 15 minutes to get to the port of SF Town from the sea, and at least 20 minutes by car from the road.
"Grandpa Su, are you going to go to the town to drink?" Li Zhi said politely to a rickety old man waiting for the ferry by the dock.
"Oh~ you are... You're a smart baby, aren't you? You're back from vacation? When you have time to sit at home, I'll invite you to drink!" Su Anjian held a wooden stick, and when he looked back, he couldn't help but say happily when he saw Li Zhi.
"Where do I dare you invite me, I will bring two bottles of good wine to visit you another day. Li Zhi understood that the old man was optimistic and joking, and he had no wine or joy every day, so he replied politely.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay to have wine~ It doesn't have to be too good~ Hey!Hey!Hey!The passenger ship is coming, let's get on the boat quickly!Otherwise, there is no place~" Su Anjian said as he jumped up and down the dock with a wooden stick.
"Slow down, don't fall. Li Zhi hurriedly followed, stretching out his hand to protect him beside him.
After a while, the old man happily pulled Li Zhi on the passenger ship and chatted, and Li Zhi also listened carefully, mostly about some things that had happened in the village over the years, as well as some anecdotes in the town.
And at the end, the old man said that the purpose of this trip was that Su Jin was coming back.
No wonder the old man was so happy today, and he went to the port to pick her up in person.
Su Jin was born young, grew up playing in Pearl Bay together, when he was a child, he often went to Grandpa Su's old yard to play with Su Jin, and this crying girl is now returning from studying abroad, I don't know what it looks like.
It's a pity that he is not available today, otherwise he must have waited for her to come back in person and wash the dust for her.
Li Zhi said goodbye to Grandpa Su and walked along the promenade along the harbor.
After a while, he came to the lively beach, compared to last night, at this time when the wind is beautiful, the sea breeze is blowing, and the scenery is excellent, and the popularity is naturally bursting.
Many middle-aged uncles and aunts are playing with their children on the beach, while tourists from other places account for more than half of the beach's popularity, as for the rest, local vendors and handsome men and women who come to the beach for romance.
Soon Li Zhi came to Chen Mo's stall, but this guy was busy, and he was grilling fish with his head down.
After clearing his throat, Li Zhi opened his mouth and said, "What, bring a hundred grilled fish to the uncle, and I'll pack them and take them away." ”
"Okay! You... your sister~ Roll and cut. Chen Mo looked up, and immediately became unhappy, and immediately said impatiently.
"Haha! I don't have a sister here, if I have it, I still need to say, sure... I won't kill you. Li Zhichang smiled happily and walked to the side to watch him grill the fish.
Hearing this, Chen Mo suddenly froze, turned his head and stared at Li Zhi viciously, pulled off the mask, revealed a ruddy face, and said, "Last night, was it a good thing for you to get drunk with melon skin?!"
"What's wrong, it's okay, you're not good, it's normal!" Li Zhi couldn't help but say inexplicably when he heard this.
"Fart, this morning's face was hot and painful, I asked Da Hua'er what was going on, she told me that you were drunk and crazy, catch me and pump hard! If Da Hua'er hadn't dragged me away, my face would be swollen today!"
"You don't know who I am, even if I'm drunk, I will never do such a thing! It's definitely not me!" Li Zhi immediately patted his chest and promised.
After thinking silently for a long time, Chen Mo muttered to himself: "Da Hua'er also said this to me..."
"And is there anything unusual about her today?"
"Suddenly a lot softer to me... But she never lied to me. ”
"What, don't talk nonsense. I'm here today to talk about some serious business, are you interested in making a fortune with me?" Li Zhi stepped forward and grabbed his shoulders and whispered in his ear.
Hearing this, Chen Mo suddenly moved, put yesterday's unpleasantness behind him, rolled his eyes, and said, "Okay! I know that your kid has something to hide from me, and when I finish baking this, I will close the stall." ”
It's just that he didn't figure out who smoked him last night until many years later.
Ten minutes later, Chen Mo took the stall back to Moran's shop, and at this time, the customers who bought things in Moran's shop also paid and left, and they were cleaned.
At this time, Mo Lan couldn't hold back any longer, and with a touch of his slender hand to his chest, he found the pearl that was as round as jade, and Li Zhi couldn't help but stare at the boss with his eyes.
"What are you looking at! Your sister-in-law's breasts can be seen casually?!" Chen Mo suddenly stepped forward to block it and said dissatisfiedly.
"I look at the pearls, look at your little look. Li Zhi turned his head with a disgusted expression, sat on the stool next to him and lifted Erlang's legs.
"Your sister, that's my exclusive stool!"
"Huh?!"
"Okay, okay, today you are the uncle, you have the final say. After Chen Mo said that, he lay on the counter, snatched the pearl from Mo Lan's hand, and continued: "Okay, Ah Zhi, you casually threw a pure natural pearl to your brother, or pure gold! Do you know how much it is worth?"
"Why don't I ask for directions, otherwise why do you think I'm looking for you today, to pick up conch?" Li Zhi propped himself on the counter with one hand and said speechlessly.
"Ahem, judging from the professional knowledge I learned from my father, I look at this pearl as pure natural!"
"Don't talk nonsense, I don't know?
"9 mm in diameter, round, without a trace of impurities, perfect color, produced offshore..."
"Focus, focus!"
"Okay, with our market here, this one is exactly the same, the artificially bred one is at most three thousand, and the pure natural one is worth at least ten thousand!"
Hearing this, Li Zhi's eyes suddenly lit up, this is still the best one of the best grains in the batch he took out, and he scraped the nest of the blue devil shrimp and seized nearly a hundred, roughly calculated, this batch of pearls can be sold for one million!
His consciousness immediately entered the black fish space, glanced back and forth, and soon came to the conclusion that the diameter of less than 1 centimeter accounted for seventy percent, the diameter of more than 1 centimeter accounted for twenty percent, and the direct 2 centimeter of one percent, among which the best one, enough to be the size of a fist!
"Azhi, Azhi, what do you want?" Chen Mo suddenly shook his shoulders and asked.
"Hey.. Hey... If you get rich, what do you want? Go! Accompany me to the jewelry store to make a fortune. Li Zhi suddenly slapped the table and spoke.
"Fuck you, how many of these best products have you got, tell me about it, I'll think about how to help you maximize your benefits!" Chen Mo suddenly became energetic, and hurriedly pulled Li Zhi and asked awkwardly.
"Big flower, don't eavesdrop, don't go out to blind Bibi!" Chen Mo handed the pearl to Mo Lan, who was rarely quiet for a while, and went to the back room with Li Zhi.
"Okay, you don't know who I am? Qianbei is not drunk, and he is as tight-lipped as a bottle!" Mo Lan waved his hand, winked at Li Zhi quietly, and then couldn't put it down and kissed and wiped the pearl.
Seeing this, Li Zhi couldn't help but smile, and he also winked at his future sister-in-law in response.
Ten minutes later, Li Zhi walked out leisurely with his hands in his trouser pockets, while Chen Mo changed into a black suit and trousers, brought a pair of sunglasses, and walked behind Li Zhi with his unshaven chin shaved cleanly.
An hour later, Li Zhi paused, stopped in front of a jewelry store in the most luxurious area of the town, and whispered without looking back: "Ah Mo, are you sure it's this Mrs. Yun jewelry store?"
