Chapter 108: Conch Beads
When they arrived home, Lin Xiuqing had just boiled the water and put Tang Guanluo in, after all, it took a lot of work to start a fire with matches in the earthen stove.
"All back?"
Second sister-in-law Ye glanced at the pot, her eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "You have already put it in the pot, then wait for you to cook it first to see if there are any beads, and I will wait for the next pot." β
lest there be confusion, and what if the beads are opened? Who's it? It's time to tell.
Lin Xiuqing smiled unmindfully, "Okay." β
Sister-in-law Ye said curiously: "Why did you all pick up this snail?" I just saw the secretary's wife pick up one, and Ah Dan, who makes shrimp sprout sauce, also picked up one. β
Second sister-in-law Ye smiled and said, "I don't know this snail, but I only know it by listening to Yaodong." β
As he spoke, he looked at Ye Yaodong again, "What kind of beads can this emperor snail produce?" Isn't it worth the money? β
"What beads? It is called the emperor Tang crown snail pearl, and it is also a kind of conch pearl, that is, this snail is a little precious, and there is a certain probability of producing Tang crown snail pearl. How can there be any conch beads that are not valuable, it depends on whether you have the luck to open it. β
"Don't worry about it, you can't drive it, what should you do, the tiles are still pasted over there, I'll go and drive the boat to a safe haven." Father Ye is hopeless, the probability is too low, not to mention that the daughters-in-law picked it up, and it has nothing to do with him.
Mother Ye didn't care about them, she went to the backyard to pick vegetables and wash vegetables, ready to make lunch.
After Ye's father left, the eldest and second brothers were also about to go to the house to help, but they were stopped by Ye Yaodong, "Wait and go together, anyway, it's just a short time, and it's not too late." β
He had opened all the melodiums, and he still had expectations.
Lin Xiuqing too.
When it was almost cooked, she fished out the two, and the second sister-in-law Ye couldn't wait to put her two in.
Ye Yaodong wrapped his hand in a rag and grabbed the snail, took a fast piece and went to it from its head, and then rotated the snail meat and carefully picked it out.
pinched its tail, but there was nothing, and he unwillingly broke the flesh off his head, and there was none.
He shrugged his shoulders and handed Kuaiko to his wife, "No, maybe I'm unlucky, and there's another one for you to try." β
"Okay."
As a result, there is no doubt that there is none!
Ye Yaodong looked disappointed at her, and comforted her: "It's okay, it's normal to have no conch beads, how can you have such good luck every day, people may not be able to open tens of thousands." β
"Is the probability really that low?"
She opened a Merlot bead and came out, as if she had the illusion that these conch beads were easy to obtain. @Β·error-free start~~
"Of course! If it's too easy, how can it be rare? Conch beads are not the same as pearls. Conch beads are conch beads that come out of the shell when eating, bringing sand or other impurities from the outside world into the body, and then its flesh is stimulated, it continues to secrete unique substances to wrap the foreign body, as the foreign body continues to wrap in the body of the conch larger and larger, it is slowly formed. β
"This time takes 5-20 years, and 1-6 years is enough for water pearls, which is much more precious than pearls, and I heard that only one conch bead can appear in 50,000 conch pearls."
After saying that, he threw a look at his wife, as if to say, now you know how lucky you are, right?
Lin Xiuqing was instantly comforted.
Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua, the two couples, also looked at Ye Yaodong in surprise, "How do you know so much?" β
They all knew that there was a very small chance that the conch beads could be produced in the conch, but they didn't know the principle.
"Am I not a fool?"
After living for a few more decades, of course he knows more than them, and after a few decades, information will circulate quickly, all kinds of short videos will be brushed, and the illiterate can also know a lot of things.
They were suddenly a little impressed, and Ye Yaohua said with a smile: "In the future, if we don't know anything, we don't have to ask others, just look for you." β
"You don't have to look up at me, I know a little bit, it's very limited, I can only show off occasionally."
Lin Xiuqing glanced at him with a snicker, he must be troublesome!
Second sister-in-law Ye heard him say this, too.
Don't get your hopes up.
Only 50,000 conch beads can be produced, isn't this the same as hitting the luck?
Even if this Emperor Tang Guanluo can produce Imperial Tang Guanluo pearls, the probability is too low, and she knew that it would be better to sell it directly, and now her intestines are repentant.
At first, I was blindfolded by listening to him talk about the top ten precious and rare pearls.
Alas, pat your thigh and regret it!
When the snails in the pot were almost cooked, she didn't look forward to it, so she scooped it up and directly asked Ye Yaohua to pick it out and slice it, so that it would be like Ye Yaodong, how to fry it.
"You cut it directly? Don't take a closer look? β
Second sister-in-law Ye suffered heavy losses, was in a bad mood, and said angrily: "My mother is ready to cook, why don't you cut it directly?" β
"Well, there's also a coconut snail meat there, let's cut and fry it too. _o_m β
"Huh? Did you even open a coconut snail? β
"Yes, nothing, I knew that I would sell it directly, and I could sell it for a few dollars."
Lin Xiuqing really feels a pity, she has always been thrifty, today is really too extravagant, she actually wasted 3 top-quality snails, and she doesn't feel heartache yet, only a little pity, and I think it's not bad to be able to taste it, maybe it was damaged by her man!
Second sister-in-law Ye heard that they had opened an extra coconut snail, and her heart instantly balanced, and they lost even more!
After Ye Mu came in with the washed vegetables, she saw the snail meat that was being detained by the stove, and the one that was being sliced, and asked casually, "Nothing, right?" β
"Alas~ No...... Yes! What is this? β
Second sister-in-law Ye felt that she had cut a foreign object, and quickly put down the kitchen knife, but saw that there was a milky white and yellow bead in the snail meat, and she was immediately ecstatic.
"Pearl!?"
When the others heard this, they all hurried over to take a look, and their eyes widened in an instant.
"Damn, really!?"
"Ah, Conch Beads!"
"I'll look at ......"
Ye Yaohua was excited and wanted to stretch out her hand, but was slapped off by Ye's second sister-in-law, and she said painfully: "There is a scratch, it was cut by a knife!" I XXX......"
She couldn't help but curse in the local dialect, and her heart was distressed.
Who would have thought that she would lose hope and actually cut it out for her? It's really a dog!
She kept stroking the scratches on it in distress, eager to smooth it out, she knew that she had learned from Ye Yaodong to pick up the snail meat first, and she actually cut it so hard just now.
I'm mad at her!
Everyone also saw a scratch on it, although it was not their own thing, but they were also very heartbroken!
This is a conch bead!
I can let them go out and blow for days.
Ye Mu also immediately wiped her wet hands and hurried over, her eyes widened, "Still... Did you really open a conch bead? Why are you so careless, and you cut it with a knife, why don't you deduct it when it's cooked? Hey, young~ This scratch is still so big......"
Ye Mu was also distressed when she saw it, her facial features were wrinkled together, conch beads! No one in their village has opened it in recent years.
"Mother, don't say it, I'm sad enough." Second sister-in-law Ye kept touching her face with tears, and walked to the back door with the beads, and shone under the sun, "The scratches really can't be removed." β
Her heart was bleeding......
"You'd like to show me!" Second Brother Ye was also distressed, so he wanted to take it in his hand and take a few looks.
"Here you go, here you go!"
Second Brother Ye held the beads in his hand, and he was also distressed, and couldn't help complaining: "It's all cooked, why don't you know how to pick it?" Look at this scratch...... What's the matter? It's all flawed......"
"You know me? Why don't you remind me? If you are resolute and remind me that I must pick it, I will not be disappointed to cut it directly with a knife......"
The more Sister-in-law Ye thought about it, the more angry she became, and she started as she spoke, and slapped him hard several times, "It's all your ......"
Second Brother Ye shrugged his shoulders and didn't dodge, letting her slap him, "You... Why are you still quite unreasonable, and you beat a rake! Obviously, you cut it directly with a knife, and blame me for not reminding you! Xiuqing reminds you,.
Let you take a closer look, you didn't listen to it yourself, and blame me for not saying it......"
"She's her, you're you, if you remind me, I'll definitely want to dig it up......"
Ye Yaohua was exhausted, "You are still reasonable!" Look at what you've become......"
"How did I know there were beads in there?"
It's a good thing, it developed into a family farce in an instant, everyone was a little dumbfounded, Second Brother Ye has always listened to Second Sister-in-law Ye, and it's rare to say it out loud.
However, there is still no invincible second sister-in-law Ye's nonsense.
Ye Mu listened to the reason and couldn't help but speak, "Okay, okay, I didn't look for it carefully, and now that I've made a cut, who can I blame?" Show me. β
Second Brother Ye handed the conch beads to Ye Mu again, and then everyone saw the appearance of the conch beads clearly, the size of a soybean, an irregular oval, and a very obvious scratch in the middle.
Now even Mother Ye couldn't help complaining about Second Sister-in-law Ye, "Tell me, why don't you dig it?" It's all cooked, is it still taking that time? Dongzi They didn't take it out, it doesn't mean you don't either, if you don't have hope, you might as well sell the conch just now. β
Facing Ye's mother, Ye's second sister-in-law didn't have the confidence to mess around, but only said depressedly: "How do I know!" β
Sister-in-law Ye smiled and said: "It's already like this, it's useless to say it, since you can open conch beads, it's also a good thing, it's better than nothing!" If you have a flaw, you can't sell it for money, but you can keep it for yourself, take it to make a necklace pendant, or the ring face can also be, this color is the same as the shell of a conch, and it is very good-looking. β
"I can only wear it myself."
After Mother Ye glanced at it twice, she returned the beads to Second Sister-in-law Ye.
Second sister-in-law Ye was comforted, although she felt better, she was still very depressed.
Lin Xiuqing said with a smile: "There is another one, the second sister-in-law might as well dig it up, maybe she can dig out another one, then she will really make a fortune." Error-free updates @"
"Yes, yes, there's one more." She almost forgot, she was surprised and depressed by this conch, she forgot that there was still a snail that had not been dug up.
Everyone was looking forward to it now, and several pairs of eyes were staring at the Tang Guanluo in her hand.
When she went to the table with Kuais, Ye Yaohua suddenly held her hand, "Why don't you let me do this?" β
"Get out of the way!" Second sister-in-law Ye angrily pushed him with her elbow, and then took care of herself *** to pick out the snail meat.
