Chapter 26 The Most Beautiful Pearl (for collection)
When Zhao Long returned home, he quickly checked the market value of pearls online.

China's natural freshwater pearls are mainly produced in the Hainan Islands.There are five types of pearls: white, red, yellow, dark and variegated, most of which are opaque.The perfect shape of pearls is round. In ancient times, people called natural round pearls "rolling pearls".

Natural pearls are spherical, oval, irregular spherical or oblong, with a diameter of 1 to 6 mm.The surface is off-white, yellow-white, light pink, light blue, etc., with beautiful color luster and smooth.Most of the pearls used as ornaments have perforations in the center.The quality is hard, difficult to break, and the cross-section is layered.There is a crackling sound when burned with fire.No gas, slightly salty taste.

"I didn't expect pearls to be so valuable. I didn't know if I didn't look at them. I used to know that pearls have whitening effects, but I didn't expect them to have useful value. It's amazing." Zhao Long looked at the computer and said.

Pearls have the functions of calming the nerves and calming convulsions, improving eyesight, detoxifying and promoting muscle growth. Modern research also shows that pearls have unique effects in improving human immunity, delaying aging, removing freckles and whitening, and supplementing calcium.

"It seems that the price is judged according to the specific shape and color of the pearl. It seems that it is difficult to know the specific price. Let's take the pearl and find a professional jeweler to have a look." Zhao Long thought
Afterwards, Zhao Long held the pearl in front of his mother. Zhao Long's mother saw the pearl in Zhao Long's hand and asked, "What is this? It's a strange pearl."

"Mom, this is a pearl. It's the jewelry that the people in the city carry. Although it's not very precious, the color is very good. It shouldn't be worse than those in jewelry stores on the market. It may be even worse than those in the jewelry store." It's okay." I found a complacent explanation.

"Jewelry? This is jewelry? Why do you have this? Didn't you buy it yourself?" Zhao Long's mother asked when she heard her son say that it was expensive jewelry.

"Why did your son buy this? It's from the mussels. In fact, some people are breeding mussels to produce pearls. Your son is lucky to find it in the mussels." Zhao Long said proudly.
"My dear son, why have you discovered all the good things, are you looking for your mother to be happy?" Zhao Long's mother asked intentionally
"Yo, Mom, it seems that you don't believe that your son is a pearl. Look at me, Mom, you are looking at me suspiciously. I am sad for your son, hahahaha." Zhao Long grinned.

"Mom saw the one worn around the neck on TV, so it should be this one?" said Zhao Long's mother

Seeing that his mother was really asking him, Zhao Long hurriedly said: "Yes, it's this pearl. My mother has a good eye. Come on, I'll give my mother a bunch too, hehe!"

"Okay, okay, mom is waiting." Zhao Long's mother said

"Then mom, I'll go to the irrigation pond and tell my uncle the specific structure of the pond. I'll go there first." Zhao Long said

"Okay, let's go. Mom will also go to the vegetable garden to pick some vegetables. There is also the beef you bought at home. Our mother and I will roast the beef tonight." Zhao Long's mother said.

Afterwards, Zhao Long came to the pond with his design plan. Seeing that the old uncle and people from other villages were cleaning up the weeds and sundries in the irrigation pond, Zhao Long hurried forward, handed over cigarettes one by one, and Tell everyone to rest on the sidelines.

Everyone also lit their cigarettes one after another, came to the side and smoked beautifully, Zhao Long handed the designed plan to the hands of the three old uncles and said: "Old uncle, the layout of our village is a pattern that really wants to gossip. Surrounded by mountains, the aura is compelling. I plan to design my own pond as a gossip pattern. Then, the whole pond is covered with cement. This pond itself has a place where water flows in four directions. It is all modified to add pipes inside, buried deep in the ground, built in front of the pipes, installed with underwater pumps to form a paradise for easy water exchange and a living water." Zhao Long said

"That's a good idea. We all understand what you mean. Is there anything else? For example, what about security?" the third uncle asked
Zhao Long continued: "As for safety, all the pools are wrapped in waterproof foam leather within 2 meters from the edge of the pond, which is soft and safe, even if it is touched, it will be safe. This kind of protective layer is widely used, and I will buy this in a few days."

"Zhao Long, you are very thoughtful, but isn't the cost too expensive? It requires a lot." The old uncles were worried about Zhao Long's financial problems.

"Don't worry, old man. I have considered this. It's okay. I'll go to the town to buy cement tomorrow. How about we start work the day after tomorrow?" Zhao Long asked

"That's okay, we will clean out the pond today, prepare for it tomorrow, and we will start work the day after tomorrow." The old uncles said.

Zhao Long hurriedly thanked the old uncle, and after a brief chat, Zhao Long went home.

Unknowingly at dusk, Zhao Long was still inquiring about pearls at home, and then, Zhao Long's mother came to Zhao Long and said, "Son, don't play with the computer all the time, your eyes will become short-sighted, mom is going to burn beef now. "

"Mom! Let's cook together, I haven't cooked with my mother for a long time." Zhao Long said

Immediately, Zhao Long accompanied his mother to cook together: Zhao Long quickly and carefully washed the beef and put it into boiling water. Zhao Long's mother was burning the ground pot, then added cooking wine, boiled and drained the water, and put the large pieces of beef Cut into small pieces and place on a plate.

"Long, are you going to town tomorrow?" Zhao Long's mother asked while lighting the fire.

Zhao Long put an appropriate amount of oil into the pot and said, "Well, I'm going to buy cement tomorrow." The chopped green onion, ginger and garlic are ready, and after heating, add the green onion, ginger and garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Stir-fry the onion, ginger and garlic, then add beef cubes and stir-fry to dry out the water; then add soybean paste and stir-fry until fragrant, add sugar, cooking wine, five-spice powder, star anise, grass fruit, cinnamon and stir-fry evenly
Finally, add half of the hot water and ingredients at home, such as carrots and potatoes, which can be added according to the family situation.Immediately there was a smoldering.

"Then, you should pay more attention to safety when you go to the town by yourself." Zhao Long's mother said

At this time, Tingting came running and said as soon as she entered the room: "Brother, Auntie, I smell the fragrance, I will be here today, I won't go."

"Okay, okay, Tingting eats here, eats here." Zhao Long said

Then Zhao Long went to the big house with Tingting, Zhao Long said: "Brother Tingting tomorrow, can I take you to the town?"

"Okay, okay. Really. Tingting hasn't been there for a long time, and it's not worth what the town has become. That brother must wait for me tomorrow." Tingting said

"Okay, okay, I will definitely wait for Tingting, and I will buy you delicious food tomorrow, haha." Zhao Long said

Not long after, Zhao Long's mother brought up the beef, and then another plate of stir-fried pork with celery, and hot and sour potato shreds.Cooked some porridge, and the three of them ate very well. Tingting said it was delicious, and she almost couldn't bend down.
