Golden Fishing Village

The head of state didn't know what the use of these round or flat beads was. He fiddled with them curiously with his paws, and the pearls rolled on the ground, making his eyes round.

Cats seem to naturally like to play with round things.

Lu Rover subconsciously reached out to take a look at the pearl. The head of state widened his eyes and waved his paws, shouting: "Meow!"

Ao Muyang rushed home, found a small ball of wool and threw it on the ground.

The head of state no longer paid attention to the pearl, jumped directly to the wool ball and started playing with a smile on his face.

Lu Rover picked up a pearl that was slightly larger than a soybean and looked at it. The pearl was in good condition, round and plump, and its color changed endlessly when the sun shone on it.

Most of the pearls taken out by the head of state were of good quality. Ao Muyang collected these pearls first, then dug into the sac of the swallowing eel, and finally dug out a few more pearls.

He went to dig into the sacs of other swallowing eels, and more or less harvested them. Twenty-eight fish, together harvested more than 200 pearls.

Seeing this, Lu Rover subconsciously said: "Brother Ao, you are rich!"

Ao Muyang was smiling as brightly as the head of state. Garfield had made a great contribution today. It had helped him earn a sum of money, which almost missed him.

There are three main types of pearls currently circulating in the market: freshwater pearls, Japanese pearls, and South Sea pearls.

The cheapest are freshwater pearls, with the price of a single pearl ranging from tens to hundreds of yuan, and then there are Japanese pearls, with the price of a single pearl ranging from hundreds to thousands of yuan.

The most expensive ones are South Sea pearls, which cost at least a thousand yuan each. If they are of high quality, the price will be even higher. The highest gold pearls can fetch hundreds of thousands of dollars each!

Among them, the reason why freshwater pearls are so cheap is that they have been artificially cultured for a long time, and one acre of pearl fields can produce dozens of kilograms of pearls.

The reason why pearl production is so high and prices are so expensive is because not all pearls produced can enter the market. Maybe not one commercial pearl out of a hundred pearls can meet the entry standards. Most pearls are Waste products can only be ground to make pearl powder to deceive little girls.

Of course, many people travel to the beach and have seen a string of pearl necklaces that can be purchased for only tens of dollars or even a few dollars. Those pearls are also very beautiful, round and shiny.

But those are often fakes. Those that cost a few yuan are plastic pearls, and those that cost dozens of yuan are fake pearls that are pressed with shell powder and then polished.

A real pearl necklace, even one made of inferior freshwater beads, costs hundreds of dollars apiece.

Needless to say, the pearls in Ao Muyang's hands are all sea pearls. They belong to the Japanese pearl classification. Most of the more than 200 pearls are in good quality and can be sold for one hundred or two hundred thousand without any problem.

After listening to Lu Rover's words, he smiled and said: "Brother Hu, do you know anyone in the jewelry business? Introduce me to a customer, and I will give you a drink!"

Lu Rover also laughed: "You have a good idea. I will introduce you to a high-quality customer, but you will get rid of me as an intermediary with a big drink? Don't even think about it, at least two meals!"

"Then two meals!"

"good!"

Lu Rover agreed, then wondered: "Where did the pearls in the swallowing eels come from? And they are in pretty good condition, hiss, I get it! Where did you get these swallowing eels?"

What he was thinking of now, Ao Muyang thought of it the first moment after the head of state fiddled with the pearls. He had missed an opportunity before, an opportunity to discover a large number of wild pearl oysters!

Devouring eels cannot produce pearls. These pearls must be leftover from the pearl oysters they eat. The flesh is swallowed by them and the pearls settle at the bottom of the sac.

In other words, there are pearl oysters in the sea areas where these swallowing eels live, and there are a lot of them. Otherwise, pearls would not be found in every swallowing eel's sac.

In addition, most of the pearls Ao Muyang obtained were in good condition. Why?

It's very simple. The shellfish eaten by swallowing eels are all old shellfish. The longer the pearl oysters live, the better the quality of the pearls in their bodies!

It is conceivable that swallowing eels live on the seabed around huge blue holes, where the water is very deep and marine predators are rare, so most pearl oysters can live for a long time.

As for where they were hidden and why Ao Muyang hadn't found any trace of them before, he now had a guess.

But when faced with Land Rover's inquiry, he responded with a wry smile: "Brother Hu, you may not believe it. The sea area where I caught these swallowing eels is not very deep, maybe only one or two hundred meters. As for the specific location, I don't remember it either." ”

Of course he remembered, after all, the huge blue hole gave him too much shock.

But this cannot be said casually. He has other ideas about the Blue Hole.

Lu Hu smacked his lips and took away the swallowing eels. Ao Muyang made a total of more than 10,000 yuan from the eels, but when he sold the pearls, he could earn hundreds of thousands more.

In the evening, the two had another big drink, but the Land Rover didn't leave. The mountain road was too difficult to walk, so he simply stayed in the village. The next day, he packed the car into the ferry and was sent to Hongyang together with the car. .

Ao Muyang sent Lu Hu away and wandered with the general and the head of state at the beach for a while. He returned home and saw a girl standing at the door of his house from the entrance of the village.

The general rushed out immediately, grinning to defend his territory.

Apart from bitches, it only allows one female animal to stand at the door of its home, and that is the deer Zhizi who often feeds it bones!

Ao Muyang shouted: "General, come back!"

The general braked suddenly, his paws scraping against the concrete, leaving brake marks of five or six meters. Ao Muyang felt pain just looking at it. If a person braked barefoot like this, the bones on the soles of their feet would probably be worn out.

But it was no problem for the general, and he continued to jump around.

Ao Muyang looked at the girl in surprise and asked, "Hu Xiuxiu? Why are you here?"

The one who came to see him was the little nurse. The little nurse smiled and said, "If you don't go to town to find me, then I can only come to you."

Ao Muyang smiled and said, "No, I've been busy recently and haven't been to town much."

Hu Xiuxiu looked at him straight and asked, "Really?"

Ao Muyang said vaguely, "Well, take advantage of the autumn to go to sea quickly. When winter comes, it will be cold, so you can stay at home for the winter."

Hu Xiuxiu shook her head and said, "Don't lie to me. Did my mother tell you something when we watched the community opera last time? That day, my father called me and said that my grandma was not feeling well. After I went back, my grandma was still the same. They deliberately sent me away."

Ao Muyang didn't know this, but her mother did express her opposition.

Since Hu Xiuxiu came to the door, he couldn't be hypocritical, so he opened the door and invited her in to sit down.

After the door was opened, the general immediately jumped onto the lounge chair under the Wanxiang tree and occupied this position first.

Ao Muyang brought her a chair, and the head of state jumped on it again, basking lazily in the morning sun.

Hu Xiuxiu smiled and said, "The dog and cat you raise are really fun. They must be living a good life and growing well."

Ao Muyang said, "That must be good. The dog is eating imported dog food now."

Lu Hu also liked the general very much, and brought a portion of imported dog food every time he came.
