Chapter 117 [Pearls Open Mussels! 】

Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, Zhuji A.

The sky was half overcast, and the light rain was sparsely falling, and it seemed that it was about to stop.

After getting off the long-distance bus from Suzhou-Hangzhou South Railway Station to Zhuji Bus Terminal, Dong Xuebin was carrying a

The big cloth bag in the US supermarket walked forward quickly, and while walking, it was uncomfortably tugging it against the body.

The clothes on are so twisted. The air in Zhuji is clammy and cold, accustomed to the dryness of the north.

Of course Dong Xuebin, who has a cold temperature, will not adapt. Looking left and right on the main road, he hurriedly found a

Big restaurants go in to shelter from the rain, and it doesn't matter if the shops around the bus station and train station are cheating.

"Boss, the menu." Dong Xuebin sat down at an empty table.

"Come on." The middle-aged aunt with a wide waist and a fat body came over with the menu.

After ordering two familiar home-cooked dishes, Dong Xuebin said, "What's special about you here?

The color soup is also served casually, warm and warm. "

Ten minutes later, several dishes were ready.

Coincidentally, the proprietress actually served clam soup, and clam is the local name for people in Beijing.

The method is actually mussels, pearl mussels, except for a slap-sized mussel in this steaming soup

Other than that, there is nothing else. Dong Xuebin was suddenly curious, picked up chopsticks and opened the mussels,

Good guy, there are actually white pearls one by one. After tasting the mussel meat again, Dong Xuebin was shocked.

Sound, bah bah, I vomited, too old, how to eat this stuff?

The proprietress, who had rejected the stage, looked at it and said with a laugh, "I don't usually eat mussels, I drink it.

soup. "

Dong Xuebin blushed, "cough, what does this pearl mean?"

"Are you here to travel? You can spend money to find someone to string the pearls for you, and bring them back to be the leader.

decoration. "

"Oh,

So your soup is actually gambling pearls? "

"Let's put it this way, if you're lucky, you'll be able to get a good bead, or I won't give it to you again.

A pot? "

"Don't say goodbye, this is enough to drink." Dong Xuebin said in his heart that you should talk nonsense, he is more than ten

The hour-long train is not idle. I have carefully studied the pearls and mussels, and I know that this kind of fineness and size is rare.

Pearls and clams are all inferior goods, and it is a piece of shit luck to be able to dig out a pearl worth 20 yuan.

The situation is full of crooked and defective pearls that are not worth much at all, "... Madam Boss, talk to me.

You want to ask something, do you know where there is a place to bet on pearls nearby? how much is it? "

The proprietress looked at him and said, "You go two ways to the west, there should be a cart that sells at the price.

Money, two hundred and three hundred? "

Dong Xuebin said: "Is there anything better? For example, 2,3,000 mussels?"

"Yo, then you have to go to the breeding base to see, their mussels are good, but those people don't gamble on precious things.

Beads, the mussels they fished up are usually opened by themselves, and then they are classified according to the fineness and then sold to

Others, most of the gambling pearls on our side are scattered, and the grades are not too high. www.YZ u m You can go to Ye Ziyou after reading a novel~”

After chatting with her for a while, Dong Xuebin had a rough idea of ​​Zhuji's pearl industry.

untie.

The rain stopped outside, and after dinner, Dong Xuebin went out and took a taxi.

The driver asked, "Where are you going?"

Dong Xuebin said: "You can go to the pearl cultivation base closest to here. "

As soon as the driver stepped on the accelerator, he said as he drove: "Are you from the capital? Are you here to travel?"

"Well, try your luck by buying some pearl mussels."

"Oh, buy mussels." The driver thought for a while, "Then we should go west and get out of here.

The two most recent farms may not be in season yet, it is not the month when mussels are opened, the one in the west is breeding

The field is far away, but my house lives nearby, and I saw them fishing for mussels these two days. "

Dong Xuebin said: "Well, go to the west, thank you."

About 20 minutes later, the car stopped, Dong Xuebin paid the money and got out of the car, looked left and right, tightly

Grab the bag in your hand and head east. This bag looks unremarkable, even a bit soiled.

Haw, he had the leadership style of killing Dong Xuebin, but he did it on purpose. in a bag

It's a password box. Inside is Dong Xuebin's total savings of 440,000 yuan. This time he took the risk

I was ready to play a big game to earn a million, so I brought all my belongings.

In the distance, several white office buildings appeared in the field of vision, and when we got closer, it was about five

Six pearl ponds.

Dong Xuebin stepped on the muddy dirt road and walked to the iron fence gate. Seeing no one outside, he hesitated.

walked in.

"Hey! What are you doing?" A middle-aged man with leather gloves covered in mud

A breeding pond stood up and said loudly to Dong Xuebin, "Who let you in?"

"Buy pearls!" Dong Xuebin frowned and glanced at him, "Where's your boss?"

"Buy pearls?" The middle-aged man looked him up and down, "I'm the boss here, what do you want to buy?

What about pearls? Pearl powder? "

are you the boss? Dong Xuebin was stunned, he knew that the annual income of this kind of pearl farm

If it is more than one million yuan, it is not a good place to put it in the capital. Even if you don't wear a suit and tie, you can start

The code also has to have a little boss temperament, right? But in the eyes of Dong Xuebin, the person in front of him is as much soil as possible.

Damn, I'm afraid that a small restaurant owner caught in the capital will be more temperamental than him.

At this time, three men dressed as workers walked quickly from the lakeside on the northwest side, "Boss,

all ready now

Open mussels? "

Only then did Dong Xuebin believe it and said to the boss, "Are you selling pearl mussels? What price?"

The boss shook off the mud on the leather gloves, "The mussels are not for sale. If you want pearls, come back tomorrow and the day after.

This batch hasn't opened yet. "

What you want is that you don't open it. Dong Xuebin followed up and said, "How about the batch of mussels to be opened?

what colour? "

The boss said impatiently, "Didn't you say you won't sell it? Go back quickly!"

"If this batch is in good condition, money is not an issue.

"Dong Xuebin is a little disgusted with his bad attitude, and he knows that the other party must think that he is too young.

It's not like a rich man, so that's why it's like this. If a middle-aged man with a big belly comes over,

I don't believe he would have the same attitude. Dong Xuebin looked at him and opened the cloth bag to reveal the password inside.

The box was raised towards him, "Even if you don't want to sell it, there's nothing to lose if I look at it? As for the price

Money... let's talk about it later? "

The boss was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought about it, then turned his head and walked towards the lake, "...Come on."

Dong Xuebin stepped up to hide from the puddle in the turf and followed.

The lake surface is sparkling blue, and from the shore to the distance are all rows of buoy-like things, densely packed.

Hemp covered the entire area neatly, and two small wooden boats were parked on the muddy shore.

There are a few mussels wrapped in small net pockets with the width of each arm on the boat, plus the number of piles on the shore,

There are hundreds of such nets, and the number of mussels is estimated to be nearly a thousand, and each mussel is a brain

It's big and much better than the mussels that Dong Xuebin ate with the restaurant before. It looks high-grade at first glance.

Freshwater pearl mussels.

Approaching, the boss said to a worker on the left: "Let's take a look first."

As soon as the worker agreed, he opened his net pocket and took out a slightly thinner mussel, squatted down, and picked it up from the mud.

With a kitchen knife, squeeze the mussels and forcefully cut the blade of the kitchen knife into the mussels along the gaps.

With a twist, under Dong Xuebin's fiery gaze, the mussels were divided into two, revealing the mussel meat and slightly

Pearls with golden light. The worker reached out and grabbed the mussels and turned them around, placing nine large or small or round

Or the crooked pearls are pulled out and put into a plastic basin that has been prepared for a long time. Freshwater Pearls

Unlike seawater pearls, the yield of each mussel is very large, not just one or two.

This is the Pearl Clam! Dong Xuebin thought it was exciting and fun.

The boss lowered his head and touched it, then picked up the largest one and measured it with an instrument, "Well,

Not bad, m's. "The instrument is specially used to measure the diameter of pearls, there is a table at the bottom,

The head is something that you hold in your hand, and you can hold the pearls with one click. "A small part can be used as jewelry, and the rest can be

Classification. "

Full, round, lustrous, and big - this is the standard for identifying a good pearl

. Although golden pearls are of the highest quality among pearls, they are crooked by a few millimeters.

Golden pearls are also worthless. Like the nine golden pearls from this mussel, more than half of them cannot be made.

jewelry.

"Right." The boss looked at Dong Xuebin and said, "How many mussels do you want?"

Dong Xuebin smiled, "Let's take a look, let's go first." M's pearls are worth it though

Money, but not enough to make Dong Xuebin's heart move. Count what you have now, then go back

Zhou Guoan did not use up the evidence ten times when his family checked the evidence, and he kept it twice, plus the accumulation of these days.

Save, Dong Xuebin now has ten times.

The boss and the workers began to cut the mussels with kitchen knives.

Click, a mussel bigger than a palm was opened and there were eleven white pearls in it, the largest

an m. The value of a mussel is not determined by the number of pearls, but by the number of pearls

What diameter is the largest pearl

Son, so this mussel didn't open very well.

The eighth……

Ten minutes passed, and so many mussels didn't even come out with an M pearl!

It's not that this batch of mussels is bad, it's just that pearls above m are too rare, just like crystals

The hair crystals in it, like the ice seeds and glass seeds in jadeite, are not so easy to come out!

The ninth mussel... the largest is an m, which is not bad.

The tenth mussel...all of m beads.

When the eleventh mussel...

"Ai! Boss! This is big, this is big!" the black-faced worker shouted.

Dong Xuebin and the boss shifted their attention, only to see Xiaogong from the mussels.

He pulled out a huge golden bead, "This one has to be 1.5 cm, and the quality is also very good.

what. "Take the instrument to measure, it shows exactly 1.5 cm, no flaws, full and round color, yes

Top-quality gold pearls!

The boss smiled, "Well, not bad."
