Feeling that the woman had stabilized her feelings, and was turned away, the corners of Zhou Nan's mouth lifted, his hands tightened, and while recalling, he continued to say, "When I met Nirvana, she was very powerful, and I couldn't beat it. But I didn't give up and kept fighting. In the subsequent contact, I was moved by her infatuation, and we knew each other and walked together. She has been lonely since she was a child, and she has been with her grandmother as a companion and wanders the world. But I never saw a hint of giving up on her face. We didn't spend much time together, and all her tears were shed for me. That's what she's ever shed, and it's the most tears. But even so, she is still a girl who can only be strong. As long as you work hard, I firmly believe that you and Sheng'er will definitely be able to do this. ”

Hearing this, the woman was silent, and couldn't help but think, "It turns out that she is such a person." Compared to her, I was so weak. No wonder you never see giving up. You are really enviable. ”

Thinking wildly in her mind, I don't know how long later, when the woman came back to her senses, the two had come to a busy city. This place, she has only been to once. That time, before she was halfway through, she ran back in tears.

But this time, she decided that no matter what happened, she would stay the course. Zhou Nan is right, she doesn't owe the world. She wants to take a good look and live well. People are terrible, but if you are fearless, then all difficulties are not difficulties.

"Let's go, be happy!" Looking at the woman with a determined expression, Zhou Nan patted him on the shoulder and walked forward.

In the downtown area of Koba Island. Most of the things sold are seafood. Eat the sea by the sea. This is vividly reflected here. What fish, shellfish. Fruits, seaweeds, etc., are displayed in front of one stall after another, and there are a lot of them.

In addition to the countless stalls, there are also many shops. It's just that there are some precious things sold in it. Silk shop, jewelry shop, fat powder shop. Restaurants, inns, fireworks and moon places, ordinary people, no money to enter.

Because of the special environment, Xiaoye Island has few silver and gold deposits and very little output. The same is true for other metals, which are also very rare. Hence the currency in which the transaction is traded. It's all some shells. More advanced ones use pearls, which have strong regional characteristics.

In the case of pearls, the value is judged by the size of the color. Very well distinguished. But the shells are a bit particular. These shells are engraved with an extremely complex and strange pattern. As if it were born in nature. Most of the shells fished out of the sea are missing.

Because of the peculiarity that the pattern can not be faked. In addition, there are many shells with this pattern on the island. Over time, these shells. It became a recognized currency. Even if it was taken to other islands by some merchants, the legitimacy of the currency was recognized.

Because they rarely go to the market, women don't have much money. In addition, he sent Sheng'er to buy medicine for him, and his pocket was already empty. And Zhou Nan, who came here for the first time, could not have these things. Therefore, he had to make some money before he could buy something.

After glancing around, Zhou Nan blinked, smiled, and had an idea. In a corner of the downtown area, surrounded by a lot of people. There, there is a very interesting game. Guess if there are pearls inside the shell and win or lose a shell coin.

"What are you doing?" Seeing Zhou Nan looking at the stall in a daze, the woman walked over, blinked her eyes, and asked curiously.

"It's interesting, go over and have a look. Zhou Nan smiled mysteriously, pulled the woman, and walked forward quickly.

Seeing Zhou Nan squeezing inside, the other people just wanted to look angrily, but when they looked at the woman behind him, within a breath, these people disappeared. The small-eyed, sleek thin old man stall owner would have run away if he hadn't been able to leave the stall.

"This brother, can you play here?" Zhou Nan picked up a shell, threw it, and said lightly.

"Yes, but this girl?" the stall owner nodded, but looked at the woman in embarrassment.

"It's none of her business, it's just playing. Open the door to do business, if you don't want to, then you can smash the signboard yourself. Zhou Nan played with the shell in his hand, pulled the woman behind him, and looked obviously protective, and immediately stopped the stall owner.

"Well, well, you should know all the rules, right?" the stall owner softened when he saw sweat on his forehead.

"Ahem, I don't know, it's just fun to watch, and here it is. Zhou Nan shook his head, leaving the stall owner speechless for a while.

"In that case, then you listen up. The shells here are divided into three grades, upper, middle and lower, guess the proportion of pearls, and decrease them in turn, divided into four percent, two percent, and half percent. A fine shell, a 10-dollar shell. Medium shells, one five shells. Inferior shells, one by one. If the pearl is guessed, according to the fineness, the old man buys it at a price one to five times more than the purchase of the shell. Hehe, but if you can't guess, you're out of luck. The stall owner said quickly, and in his small eyes, there was a treacherous light, and the mercenary nature of the businessman was vividly reflected.

"Can you pick whatever you want?" Zhou Nan nodded, then replaced another shell and weighed it gently.

"Yes, but you can't destroy the shells. The stall owner nodded, opened a basket of shells, and pointed at random.

With a slight smile, Zhou Nan squatted down, stared at the basket, and looked at it. The color of the shells in this basket is a little dull. It was covered with mud and sand, aquatic weeds, and even a lot of unknown things. It can be seen that he has not done anything.

picked up a shell at random, Zhou Nan checked it, put it down, and replaced it with another. And the woman just stood slim behind him, her eyes bright. As for the stall owner, he simply sat down and nibbled wildly with a fruit.

Since doing this business, with his unparalleled experience in Chaibei, he has not accompanied the money. The shells in the basket were all seen by him. Although there is no 100% certainty that pearls can be opened, he can still guarantee 80% or 90%.

Chaibei is a very special profession that requires a certain amount of talent. Both are through guò sense of smell. Or tactile, as long as you can discern the subtle differences between shells. Add to that a lot of experience and you can tell. Otherwise. You can't see anything at all based on your appearance. If Zhou Nan's divine thoughts can still be used, he can casually find out whether there are zài pearls. But now, it's not possible.

Zhou Nan's speed was very fast, and a basket of inferior shells, less than half a cup of tea, was weighed by him with a brush. In the end, only seven or eight of the two or three hundred shells remained. He put it on the table, and it didn't look dazzling.

"Selected?" Although he didn't care about it, the stall owner could see everything Zhou Nan did.

"That's all!" Zhou Nan clapped his hands and stood up. smiled slightly, giving the woman a reassuring look.

"Eight in total, eight shellfish. Pay first, then start the goods. The stall owner nodded, and stretched out a dirty, stumpled hand. But that kind of remnant. But it is not nurture, but a natural disability. Zhou Nan glanced at it casually and judged it.

"There is no money, open the goods first. The corners of Zhou Nan's mouth lifted. spread his hands and said very shamefully.

"I can't see it, you're quite confident. That's fine. If you can't open a pearl, you can't pay for it. The old man doesn't embarrass you, how about you run for the old man's legs for a year?" stared at Zhou Nan and started the idea of free long-term work.

"Haha, a word is a deal, open the goods!" Zhou Nan laughed, not too dirty, and slapped each other's palms with the stall owner.

Walking the rivers and lakes, the word righteousness is the head. What is a poisonous oath and a written note, it is also an empty word, a dead letter. If others don't comply, there's nothing you can do. Hitting each other's palms seems simple, but it is very secure. Anyone who doesn't comply with it is smashing their own signboard.

"Zhou Nan, let's go back, don't play. The woman came up and whispered in Zhou Nan's ear. Although Zhou Nanbiao is very confident, she still has a lot of concerns. After all, she grew up by the sea, how could she not know about Chaibei?

"Trust me, it's fine. Zhou Nan patted the woman's shoulder, and then looked at her together.

got Zhou Nan's affirmation, the stall owner smiled and acted quickly. The production of pearls in the shell is a small thing. If you want to open the shell safely and take out the pearls inside, you can't be too violent, and you need to be a little careful.

There are usually two ways, sand irrigation and salt irrigation. To put it bluntly, the essence of both methods is the same. It is to let the shell lose water, and then open its mouth on its own. In this way, people can easily open the shell and ensure the integrity of the pearl.

But the thin old man was not ordinary, but took out an incense burner, lit an unknown incense, and roasted the selected shells on it. Under the influence of smoke, after a while, those shells opened their mouths on their own, revealing the true face of Lushan.

Looking at the thin old man's movements, Zhou Nan nodded secretly, knowing that this old guy was not ordinary. People like them, although they may seem inconspicuous, but they all have unique skills and have a lot of experience. If you don't have two brushes, how dare you run out and mess around?

As soon as the first shell was opened, pink flesh was revealed. At this moment, a milky white pearl the size of a thumb is half-wrapped in the flesh. Under the light of the sun, it exudes a warm glow. It's a brilliant color, it's very beautiful.

put down the shell, gave Zhou Nan a thumbs up, and the stall owner concocted the same way again. Next, three shells in a row bloomed pearls. At this time, the stall owner's face was already very gloomy, and he didn't know that he had met a master.

With trembling hands, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and under Zhou Nan's supervision, the stall owner continued to move again. After a while, eight large open shells and eight pearls the size of thumbs were arranged on the table, which looked so raw that they were not dazzling.

And the people who were hiding around also surrounded one after another, looking at the eight shiny pearls, with a shocked face. But they still had scruples, just stood a foot away, and didn't dare to get too close, looking cautious and cautious.

After doing this qiē, the stall owner looked up to the sky and sighed, and with a buttocks, he reached the top of the chair, looking at Zhou Nan, and was speechless for a long time. is a handful of years old, and he has been in this industry for most of his life, and for the first time, he was beaten to the ground.

"You win, eight shells, eight beads. The color is good, all medium. If you are willing, the old man will charge five shell coins each, what do you think?" In order to curry favor with Zhou Nan, the stall owner took the initiative to increase the price of pearls by one percent. (To be continued......)
