After Entering the Book, She Became Rich in the 1980s

Chapter 93 Jiang Xia’s hand is the Midas touch

Father Zhou closed the courtyard door, returned to the patio and sat down: "Open the pearl!"

The tone was obviously not as cheerful as before.

Zhou's mother had already finished washing the dishes and asked, "Did Zhou Bingqiang's family buy another boat?"

Zhou Bingqiang spoke so loudly that the whole family heard him.

Father Zhou pretended not to care and said, "Just buy it, it's none of our business."

That being said, Father Zhou is envious. How much money can three fishing boats make every day when they go out to sea together?

From now on, the grandson won’t be able to show off in front of him every day?

But his family doesn’t have the strength, A Lei doesn’t have a house, and he doesn’t have a child.

I lived in this house in fear when it was windy or rainy. Sooner or later it had to be built, and the money I earned to build the house was gone.

A boat costs several thousand or even tens of thousands of dollars, and the price keeps rising every year. It’s very difficult to save money to buy a boat!

He could only look back and sigh!

Zhou Chenglei: "Dad, Jiang Xia and I are also going to visit the shipyard tomorrow and order a ship."

Father Zhou's eyes lit up: "Is there enough money?"

"Order one that's about the same size as your home. It should be about the same."

Father Zhou suddenly became energetic: "I'll go with you tomorrow and open the pearls quickly. After opening the pearls, go to bed early tonight."

Zhou’s mother also laughed: “Why don’t you hurry up and drive!”

So Father Zhou happily picked up a pearl oyster from the snakeskin bag and pried it open.

As a result, the first pearl oyster opened by Zhou's father had no pearls.

Father Zhou: "..."

"Thanks to its size, it doesn't even have pearls!"

He looked at Zhou Chenglei depressedly.

As soon as Zhou Chenglei pried open the pearl shell, he saw a white pearl exposed in the shell's flesh.

Jiang Xia smiled: "It looks pretty big, I wonder if there are any flaws."

Father Zhou also smiled: "It's not small! Take it out quickly and see if there are any flaws."

Zhou Chenglei buttoned it up and washed it with salt water in a bowl: "A little."

Jiang Xia: "Let me take a look."

Zhou Chenglei gave her the pearl.

Jiang Xia took it and looked at it carefully. The white pearls had a faint pink luster. They were lustrous and full of color. They were perfectly round in shape, about 10mm, but there were some flaws, but these flaws were almost negligible.

Most wild natural pearls have flaws, while cultured pearls have fewer flaws and better luster.

This one is considered to be of the highest quality, because pearls need to be drilled to make jewelry, so the flaws can be completely covered up.

She handed it to Father Zhou, who took it and took a look at it, smiling from ear to ear: "Haha, not bad, it's such a big piece with few flaws, it should be worth thirty or forty yuan."

Father Zhou felt that he was out of luck, so he said, "Xiao Xia, pick a pearl oyster and I'll open it. You're in luck."

Jiang Xia was amused by Zhou's father's words: "Dad, it's the same for everyone. If there were pearls, they would have grown inside."

Father Zhou: "It's different even if it hasn't been opened yet! Ah Lei has touched that pearl oyster. Isn't this a good pearl if it's not opened?"

Zhou Chenglei: "Well, you're lucky, help me get one too."

Jiang Xia's mouth twitched, and after convincing the two of them, each of them gave them a pearl oyster.

Father Zhou happily pried it open, and then took a breath!

"Haha... I just said Xiaoxia is lucky."

Jiang Xia's hands are simply the Midas touch!

Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei both looked over.

A golden pearl was pulled out by Zhou's father, which was bigger than the one Zhou Chenglei had just pulled out.

It is estimated to be about 12mm, and it is golden, round and smooth, shiny and jewel-like. "This one is really flawless at all!" Father Zhou held it in his hand and smiled from ear to ear, as if he was appreciating some peerless treasure.

After reading it, he showed it to Zhou's mother, who said with a smile: "This one is good, the gold color is beautiful, like gold."

The old lady likes golden things, and white ones don’t look beautiful to her.

Zhou Chenglei also prescribed two pills. Both pills are white, with a bit of pink luster, exactly the same size, and have minor flaws that are not obvious. They can be made into rings, earrings, or pendants to cover up.

Jiang Xia: "These two look like twins. I will put them together. When I sell them, I will tell the buyer that they are from a pearl oyster. Maybe I can get more money."

Father Zhou: "That makes sense, I just said you are lucky, come again!"

Jiang Xia handed another pearl oyster to the two of them.

Zhou Chenglei took the pearl oyster handed over by Jiang Xia. It was a big pearl oyster and a bit heavy.

Zhou Chenglei pried it open but did not see the pearl.

Father Zhou took a look and said, "Isn't such a big shell without a shell?"

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

Zhou Chenglei pinched the white mussel meat, pinched something hard, and pulled it out. It was a gray-black pearl. It's round and translucent, and it's big, over 12mm!

"This one is good!" Jiang Xia blurted out, her eyes brightening.

Father Zhou took a look and said, "Black pearls! They are rare! Check to see if there are any flaws."

"No." Zhou Chenglei washed it in a bucket, washed it in a bowl, and handed it to Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia held the pearl and looked around carefully. Under the light, the black and green pearls reflected various colors, with soft luster, fine texture, crystal clear, round and full.

Black pearls are considered rare pearls, and Jiang Xia vaguely feels that this pearl will definitely fetch a good price.

Jiang Xia divided another pearl oyster between the two of them.

There were two pearls that Father Zhou pried open this time, one was deformed, one was very large, one was small and the other was round.

Father Zhou: "It's a pity. This one is so big, but it has a weird shape."

Father Zhou washed it and put it in a clam shell.

Jiang Xia felt that the Baroque pearl was beautiful in shape and color. She smiled and said, "This kind is called Baroque pearl. Foreigners like it very much. It can be used to make pendants, brooches and other accessories."

Father Zhou immediately felt that this Baroque pearl was particularly beautiful!

He also needs to be educated, otherwise if he sells it, he will sell it at a low price, "Sell it to a ghost guy and earn foreign exchange!"

Jiang Xia smiled.

Next, the pearls that Zhou's father and Zhou Chenglei opened were not very big, but many were 7-8mm. Most of them had some flaws, not many. They also opened a few millet beads, and one was over 12mm. Big beads, pink, no flaws, very beautiful color, pink, very special pink, jewel-like.

The production of seawater pearls is relatively small. Generally, one shell gives birth to 1-2 pearls. However, wild seawater pearls are nucleated pearls. The particles are relatively large, mostly round, and the shape is relatively perfect, but there are some flaws on the surface, and few are perfect. .

Probably Zhou Chenglei only picked out big and old pearls. The pearl content was quite high, so he only found one without them. Moreover, the quality of the pearls was very good, round, beautiful in color, with few flaws, and only a few. The defects in the grains are very obvious, the color is not enough, it looks ugly, worthless and can only be used for grinding.

Soon, more than thirty pearl oysters were opened, and the largest pearl oyster was left. Zhou Chenglei picked it up.

Zhou's father clapped his hand: "Xiao Xia didn't touch it, why did you touch it?"

Zhou Chenglei: "..."

Zhou Chenglei simply looked at Jiang Xia: "Would you like to try?"

Zhou's father immediately said: "Yes, Xiaoxia is here to drive!"

Seeing that they had been driving for so long, Jiang Xia knew how to open it. She nodded: "Okay, then I'll open it."

"Be careful, don't hurt your hand." Zhou Chenglei gave her the tool.

Jiang Xia took the pearl shell and the knife and inserted the knife into the shell like Zhou Chenglei did.

Zhou Chenglei was frightened when he saw it, fearing that her hand would be pierced by her thrusts, so he directly held her hand and opened it with her.

Come, come, come again! Husband and wife are in love, and it's time for him to serve as a memorial tablet.

Father Zhou immediately straightened his back and straightened his posture!
