Start a mysterious island

As soon as the oysters are served, the aroma hits your face immediately.

"Sir, here are the twenty charcoal-grilled oysters you ordered. They come in three flavors. Please use them slowly."

"Thanks."

After the waitress left, her eyes focused on the twenty palm-sized oysters in front of her.

The oysters sold in this store look similar to those sold in Blue Star, but may be larger in size.

The smooth and plump oyster meat is grilled over charcoal fire, exuding a sweet and refreshing soup.

Although the oyster meat shrank a lot after being cooked, the size is still okay.

Such large oysters only cost five copper coins each, which can be said to be very affordable.

Original, garlic, and slightly spicy. Looking at the three flavors of charcoal-grilled oysters in front of him, Lin Li thought about it and decided to eat his favorite garlic oysters first.

He took off the hat on his head and put it aside, picked up a garlic oyster, blew on it, then put it into his mouth with chopsticks and took a bite.

"Click."

After taking a bite, Lin Li was about to savor the flavor of the garlic oyster when his teeth hit something hard, so he immediately spit the oyster in his mouth back into the oyster shell.

"Why is there something in the oysters?"

Lin Li used chopsticks to dig open the belly of the oyster with a puzzled look on his face.

"pearl?!!!"

A round, flawless pearl appeared in front of Lin Li.

Looking at the pearl lying in the oyster meat, Lin Li finally knew where the pearls on the tables of the previous diners came from.

"There won't be other oysters, right?" Lin Li thought for a while, then used chopsticks to dig into the bellies of other oysters.

As a result, he found that in the belly of each oyster, there was a pearl of about the same size.

Although the oysters on Blue Star may also have pearls, they are only a minority after all.

Some people go to an oyster shop to eat oysters, dozens or hundreds of times, but they may not eat a pearl in the oyster.

And Lin Li was eating oysters in Dongwu City. He ordered twenty oysters, and every oyster had pearls, and the pearls were very big.

There is only one possibility for this situation, that is, it is common for oysters in this world to have pearls.

Each pearl has a diameter of twelve to thirteen millimeters, round and flawless. Pearls with this appearance would cost at least two hundred yuan if sold at Blue Star.

"Tsk, there are twenty pearls in my oysters, that's four thousand yuan!!!" Lin Li thought to himself as he took out the pearls from the oysters, "What a business opportunity! I really want it now." It’s a huge profit.”

…………

The oysters have a smooth texture and rich flavor. The girl who handed out the flyer to Lin Li to come here to eat oysters did not lie. The oysters here are all very fresh, and I can give it a nine points.

Lin Li quickly ate all the twenty oysters he ordered, and gave a very high evaluation to this restaurant, which specializes in charcoal-grilled oysters.

Then, he raised his hand to signal, and soon a waitress came to his table.

"Sir, do you want to pay the bill? Or do you want to order something else?" the waiter asked as she glanced at the oysters that Lin Li had finished on the table.

Lin Li smiled and said, "Check out."

"Twenty oysters cost 100 coppers in total. Now that a new store has opened, you can get a 50% discount if you spend over 100 coppers. Sir, you only need to pay 50 coppers..." the waitress said.

Lin Li took out a fifty-copper note from his pocket and handed it to the waitress.

The latter collected the money and was about to leave when he was stopped by Lin Li.

"Miss, wait a moment."

"Huh? Sir, do you have any other instructions?"

The waitress who was about to leave looked at the young guest in front of her with confusion.

"Miss, I would like to ask, can I take these pearls away?" Lin Li asked.

"Huh?" The waitress was stunned for a moment after hearing Lin Li's question.

Why would this guest ask such a question? The pearls in the oysters are just like the oyster shells. They are useless garbage. If you want them, just take them away.

"Sir, you ordered these oysters, and these pearls are also yours. If you want to take them away, I can get you a bag to put them in." The waitress replied with a smile.

After confirming that the pearls in these oysters belonged to him, Lin Li showed a smile that puzzled the waitress.

"Calm down, keep a good attitude, and don't act too abnormally." Lin Li thought to himself.

"This customer is so strange!" The waitress couldn't help complaining in her heart when she saw Lin Li's raised lips and bright smile.

"Miss, I wonder if your shopkeeper is here. I want to discuss a business with him." Lin Li said to the waitress.

"Um..." When the waitress heard Lin Li say that she wanted to discuss business with her shopkeeper, she nodded and said, "Our shopkeeper is here. Sir, please wait a moment, I will call him."

"OK."

Lin Li glanced at the leaving waitress. He withdrew his gaze and turned to the twenty large, flawless white pearls on the table. His thoughts began to wander.

…………

"Tap, step, step..."

The waitress who came back brought a middle-aged man who was 1.75 meters tall, slightly fat, wearing a white chef's uniform and with a very kind face to the table.

"Hello, my name is Wang Gui, and I am the manager of this restaurant."

Seeing the kind-faced man in chef's uniform in front of him, Lin Li stood up and said with a smile.

"Hello, Shopkeeper Wang. My name is Lin Li. I just had your charcoal-grilled oysters. They tasted very good. Shopkeeper Wang's restaurant will definitely have a prosperous business in the future."

"Thanks for the compliment from Mr. Lin, I heard from my staff that you have business to discuss with me?" Wang Gui asked Lin Li directly because the kitchen was very busy, so he didn't beat around the bush.

"Yes." Lin Li nodded.

"What business is Mr. Lin referring to?"

"I want to buy pearls from Shopkeeper Wang."

When Wang Gui heard that Lin Li said that he wanted to buy pearls from him, his eyes showed doubts.

Pearls in oysters are the same as oyster shells. They have no value at all. They are garbage and must be thrown away.

The young man in front of me wants to buy garbage from him. Is he kidding himself?

Wang Gui thought for a moment and thought Lin Li was making fun of him. His smiling face suddenly turned cold.

The business in the store is so good now, and the kitchen is still busy!

I put down my work and came to meet the customer who wanted to discuss business with me, but the other person made fun of me. This would make anyone unhappy, no matter how good-tempered he was.
