Chapter 127 I’ll buy them all for you
After Hua Xia Li passed by, he prepared the kerosene lamp and kitchen knife. When he heard a slight knock on the door, he went over to open the door, and then grabbed Huo Beixi. Her arms pulled him in, and then locked the courtyard door, "I'm going to trouble you again. "
"We are a family. If you have any trouble, don't worry." Huo Beixi was a little surprised to see so many large freshwater clams in the yard. He had gone into the water to help her pick them up before, but there were really none. She picked up such a big one. I don’t know when she picked up such a big freshwater clam.
Hua Xiali handed the kitchen knife to Huo Beixi, then picked up another kitchen knife and was about to open it. Huo Beixi said, "Don't move, just let me do it. You can take charge later." Just take out the meat."
"Okay." Hua Xiali didn't say anything more, but sat on the chair and watched Huo Beixi opening freshwater clams.
Huo Beixi opened a large freshwater clam in just a few clicks. Seeing the round, grainy texture in the clam's shell, Huo Beixi reached out and touched it, "This should be a pearl, right?"
"Maybe." Hua Xiali took the freshwater clam over and squeezed out the round particles. It turned out to be a round pearl. She didn't know whether she raised it by relying on the spiritual spring water, or whether it was originally contained in the freshwater clam. of.
Thinking of this, Hua Xiali stood up and walked behind Huo Beixi. Carrying him behind her back, she took out a large freshwater clam from the space. Then she handed the freshwater clam to Huo Beixi. , "Huo Beixi, please open this for me first."
As long as you open this, you will know where the pearl comes from.
Huo Beixi took the freshwater clam from Hua Xiali. The shell of this clam was obviously not as clean as the ones on the ground. However, Huo Beixi didn't say anything. Instead, he sat down and started opening it. After opening it, she handed it to Hua Xiali. Hua Xiali looked at it carefully and saw that there were pearls. She quickly took out the pearls. The pearls were of different sizes. The big one was only about the size of a soybean and the small one was about the size of a mung bean. Then she returned it. Irregular, some oddly shaped, some slightly rounder.
Only one or two pearls from a large handful can be processed into jewelry. It will probably take many years before they are as big as the pearls they took out. It seems that natural pearls are really rare.
It is probably because she has raised freshwater clams in spiritual spring water for a period of time, so the pearls taken out can be so perfect in size and luster, and then the matter of raising freshwater clams in large water tanks can be carried out.
But they have to be raised in a place with easy access to water. The land where the school is located is outside the village, quite far from the river bend, and raising freshwater clams requires water, so it is not convenient to get water.
Unless she raises them near a river bend, but to raise them there, she will have to buy another piece of land.
"Is there any?" Huo Beixi asked.
Hua Xiali shook his head, "No, how is it possible that there are pearls in every clam shell? Otherwise, wouldn't we have discovered it?"
"Forget it if it doesn't exist, don't be too disappointed, this thing is meant to be It’s free, if you have it, forget it if you don’t have it. If everyone had it, wouldn’t everyone go crazy? I’ll buy it for you whatever jewelry you want in the future.”
"Really? You can buy me whatever I want?" Hua Xiali asked with a smile on her face. She also wanted to buy her any jewelry. His salary can only buy some jewelry for him now. Wage increases cannot keep up with the increase in jewelry prices.
So if she wants to wear jewelry, she has to buy it herself, but some words are comfortable to hear. After all, not every man is willing to say nice words to make his wife happy.
Some people don’t even want to talk to their wives.
"What is the purpose of making money? Isn't making money just for spending? What's the point of saving money if you keep saving it and don't use it?" Huo Beixi was talking, but he didn't stop holding the things in his hands and continued to open the fresh water. mussel.
Hua Xiali quickly took out the pearls and clam meat and placed them in two basins. The weather was cold now, so the clam meat would not lose its flavor even if it was processed the next day. And after Huo Beixi returns, she can store the clam shell meat in the space and take it out when she processes it tomorrow.
"By the way, the clam shells that were harvested last time are still piled in my yard. Are those clam shells still useful?" Huo Beixi suddenly remembered that they were still piled in the yard. asked the empty clam shell in the corner.
“Keep it for me and wait for me to go and get it when I have time.” The clam shell can be used as fertilizer for flowers, so it should also be used as fertilizer for vegetables.
When people ask her why the vegetables she grows are so delicious, they can just say that they are grown using clam shells as fertilizer.
"I will bring it to you tomorrow night. It is not convenient for you to take so much." Huo Beixi said, such a small thing does not require her to do anything.
Huo Beixi opened the freshwater clams in four large tanks for more than three hours. It started from about 7 o'clock in the evening to nearly 11 o'clock in the evening. It was already late at night. Because it was already winter, not even the sound of insects could be heard outside, and the whole world was silent.
Hua Xiali handed the soap to Huo Beixi, "Wash your hands quickly to wash away the fishy smell. That's it for today. I'll come over to handle the rest tomorrow morning."
"If you want to sell the pearls, give them to me and I will help you sell them. The price should be higher now than before." Huo Beixi glanced at the pearls in the basin.
The colors of the pearls are not exactly the same, but they are all light and none are dark.
The pale gold, lavender, and pale pink, if made into a pearl necklace for Hua Xia gift, it should be particularly beautiful.
“There’s no hurry about this, we’ll talk about it later.” Hua Xiali hasn’t decided whether to sell the pearls yet. Anyway, he didn’t agree to it, let alone give him hope, so there’s no way to let him do it. Disappointed.
"Okay, if you have anything to do, just tell me." Huo Beixi warned.
In terms of making money, he is not as good as Hua Xiali, and the salary of their ordinary unit is not as good as that of an individual, but in other aspects, he can contribute.
Isn’t there a saying that those who have money contribute money and those who have no money contribute effort?
There must be a place where he can be used!
"Don't worry, you are my boyfriend. If I don't come to you, who should I go to?" Locking the door of the new house, the two of them walked back side by side, Huo Beixi holding Hua Xiali's hand Without a flashlight, I just walked forward in the darkness.
Watching Hua Xiali enter the courtyard gate, Huo Beixi turned around and left, walked to the well in the back, and looked up at the window upstairs.
Seeing the lights in the room, Huo Beixi's eyes were gentler than anyone else had ever seen.
Not long after that, good news came from the restaurants in the town, saying that they wanted to buy the vegetables grown in their vegetable base. They may have thought that they could wholesale them at low prices just like the wholesale market. When they told the price, Hua Xiali refused. I really thought that the rural people were ignorant and the price they gave was lower than the wholesale price at the farmer's market. Hua Xiali asked them to go to the wholesale market directly and not buy her vegetables.
