After marrying sick Yangzi, I made my whole family rich

Chapter 402: Capture Jiasong Village, happy cooperation
"There is a way to give these river mussels more stimulation through artificial intervention, and they will produce more pearls, which are larger and rounder than those naturally formed!"

This is why river mussels are allowed to grow in rivers with sediment.

Because the sand contains a lot of impurities and gravel, it will stimulate the mussels to produce pearls, but these people don't know the reason.

Furthermore, I wonder if there is a better way to raise clams and pearls!
When Chen Lizheng saw that she was willing to talk again, he suddenly felt excited and thought of something——

"I intervened myself. I have seen an old master do this, but the pearls produced were not lustrous enough and not as beautiful as my own."

This is a problem.

Artificial intervention, especially in the vain attempt to produce more pearls, will result in a loss of quality if the quantity is lost.

But it will definitely not be worse than the existing ones!

What's more, the pearl jewelry that Xu Mengxiao wants to make doesn't intend to be too high-end, and the quality requirements for pearls are not that high.

No matter what else is used to make medicine, pearl powder, or pearl ointment, the essence will not be much different.

After all, pearls are composed of calcium carbonate and organic matter. Their shape, luster, and regularity are all given by people's aesthetics.

And she has another way to make pearl jewelry.

"I heard that artificial intervention can control the shape of pearls and form nucleated pearls..."

She said this to the few core members of Jiasong Village around her, and she didn't say it too loudly.

Even so, Chen Lizheng and others were still startled and quickly lowered their voices, "Control the shape?!"

"What other shapes can it be transformed into? Isn't the original shape and oval the most beautiful?" They were amazed.

Xu Mengxiao also knew that the shapes she wanted had never been seen in ancient times.

Any five-pointed star, heart shape, triangle, four-leaf clover shape, etc., but when you make it, it will definitely make people's eyes bright!
This can be achieved by giving the mussel a relevantly shaped "core", or "gravel".

When the river mussel is stimulated, it will secrete substances to wrap it, thus forming a pearl of the corresponding shape.

Hearing this, several people hissed, quickly looked around, and sent some people away.

"It's just an idea. Let's give it a try when the time comes." Xu Mengxiao chuckled nonchalantly.

"This method is indeed novel, but once we actually implement it and circulate it, it will definitely not be kept secret for long. But as long as we don't deliberately leak it, it will be enough for people who want to imitate to ponder it for a while."

Although natural pearls are also formed into various shapes, even some beautiful and unique shapes.

But not to mention that it is extremely rare, people in this period did not know how to use it. If it is used to make various jewelry, it will definitely be very beautiful!

The pearl jewelry she wants to make is unique, unique and creative.

The specifics needed to be carefully considered. At the moment, Xu Mengxiao clarified some ideas and gave them a brief explanation.

Perhaps realizing that something in her words was important, Chen Lizheng and several elders quickly invited her to their home.

But he was not in a hurry to discuss this with her immediately. Instead, he asked the women at home to prepare good meals and dishes for them as soon as possible.

In the square farmyard, several chickens pecked at each other's grass seeds on the ground.

The cackling sound made Xu Mengxiao feel more friendly and fond of Jiasongzhuang.

I miss Yao Yucun and the chickens, ducks and geese she asked Lu Hai to raise at home. The dishes must taste very good!

"Ahem, the food is hot. If you don't mind, Boss Xu, please give it a rest."

Chen Lizheng's family brought out several dark plates of stir-fried chicken with wild vegetables, wild vegetable dumplings, and stir-fried cabbage.

When Xu Mengxiao saw that there was a pot of fragrant chicken stew, he knew that they had spent a lot of money. "You guys can eat together too. You're welcome. We'll eat while we talk."

"This..." Several elderly people hesitated.

After all, life is very difficult for them here, and the meals served by Li Zheng's family are of the highest standard in the village.

Slaughtering all the hens that lay eggs at home will make it even more difficult in the future. He doesn't even eat at home, so how can they be embarrassed!
Xu Mengxiao saw that their humility and simplicity, and their lack of intention to take advantage, were actually better than the Yaoyu Village under the rule of his father-in-law.

She was even more satisfied, "Let's all sit down. How can we discuss business if we don't sit down?"

Everyone's eyes lit up, "Eat, eat first and then talk!" Chen Lizheng happily greeted several people.

A few people were indeed a little hungry. They ate in a hurry in the morning in order to rush on the road, and they consumed so much on the way that it was already afternoon.

Xu Mengxiao was extremely satisfied with the simple meal and ate two bowls in one go.

But such a simple meal is the best food for the Li Zheng family. Didn't you see that his two grandsons were secretly swallowing their saliva?

When Xu Mengxiao put down the bowl, he also put down an ingot or a tael of silver.

"Boss Xu?" Chen Lizheng was a little confused.

"This is meal money, no need to refuse. You prepared a sumptuous meal, and we were very satisfied with the meal. We haven't had such a homely meal in a long time."

Chen Lizheng suddenly blushed, "That's all we have at home, as long as you don't dislike it..."

"So let's talk about our business." In order to prevent him from being polite, Xu Mengxiao just hit him hard——

"I bought the river pond and will go to the government. I also collected this batch of river mussels from you, but I don't need to do anything at the moment, so I need you to continue to raise them. Therefore, I will also hire a group of people from your village. In the future We will raise more river clams, and you will need to take care of them."

The work of raising river clams is neither too much nor too little. It does not require so many people.

But when it comes to catching river mussels, picking pearls, picking clam meat, cleaning, transporting, sorting pearls, etc., they are all very detailed and complicated tasks.

We definitely can't leave everything to the stewards Xu Mengxiao found.

And if she was asked to find someone to do these things again, she wouldn't have anyone available. It would be better to have the villagers of Jiasong Village who are more experienced.

"If my business starts and gets bigger in the future, I will definitely hire more people from your village."

"Next, Chen Lizheng, please recommend some reliable villagers. Priority will be given to those with experience and their character should not be questionable. After all, I must have some unique secrets of my own for raising mussels and pearls. It would be bad if they were leaked."

Chen Lizheng was completely confused at the moment.

He was still caught up in the surprise and excitement of the previous sentence, and Xu Mengxiao said so much in one breath.

Seeing that he didn't follow, Xu Mengxiao had to reiterate it again.

"What? After buying mussels from our river pond, are you willing to hire people from our village?" Chen Lizheng responded slowly.

"Yes, that's what Boss Xu said. Why are you so slow to react?" Several old people said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, as long as you like our Jiasong Village, we will definitely take care of things for you and try not to make any mistakes!" Chen Li was hurriedly responding, his eyes moistening.

"To be honest, I have always wanted to preserve this ancestral inheritance, but the magistrate and the county asked us to deal with it. Now that we can stay and continue to do this work, we are very satisfied! If one day, We can make river mussels and pearls here..."

Xu Mengxiao looked at his expression of joy and incoherence, and also had some ambitions. If they could make pearls here...

That means her business is booming, right?
Chen Lizheng had this idea. She would only be more serious and responsible when doing things, and she would have nothing to worry about.
