Chapter 59 Golden Pearl
Lin Yuan had already scanned all the pearl oysters.
"Betting on shellfish basically depends on luck, and I have no experience!" Lin Yuan said modestly.
"Even if it depends on luck, Brother Lin, your luck is better than ours. Please point me to some!" Huo Qingtong still pestered Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan had no choice but to point out four or five to her.
"Just these few!"
Among them, there is actually only one pearl clam with pearls. It is not very valuable, but it is better than the one Qiao Yufan just opened.
Huo Qingtong readily gave the money and asked the stall owner to help open it.
She's the kind of person who hates getting her hands dirty.
The first one was unfortunately just a lump of meat.
The next one was even worse. It turned out to be a dead clam. Once it was pried open, an unpleasant smell came out, and even the stall owner spat it out.
The onlookers took two steps back, and some couldn't help but cover their noses.
Lin Yuan spread his hands: "I told you, I have no experience."
The audience in his live broadcast room were all happy and expressed that this was a tasteful live broadcast.
The stall owner quickly threw away the thing and rinsed it with water. He couldn't let the smell affect his business.
The last two were also empty. Such a low "winning rate" left the stall owner speechless.
"The last one, do you want to open it yourself?" The stall owner himself was made a little unconfident.
Lin Yuan took the shell opener, handed the live broadcast mobile phone to his uncle first, and then opened the pearl shell neatly.
The stall owner's eyes trembled slightly and the corners of his mouth twitched. He couldn't help but look at his hands and thought to himself: Could it really be...
I saw a pearl bigger than my thumb stuck in the shell meat, and it was golden.
Golden pearls are rare pearls. Even people who don’t understand the pearl market know that they are valuable when they see a golden pearl.
"Brother Lin, you are so awesome." Huo Qingtong almost wanted to hug Lin Yuan and take a bite.
"Congratulations! This golden pearl is very valuable." The stall owner forced a smile. If it weren't for the crowd, he would have regretted it.
No one here understood the preciousness of gold pearls better than him.
As we all know, pearls come in rich colors, such as white, black, pink, gold, etc.
For golden pearls, the best golden pearl color is a rich tea-gold color with green undertones. To put it simply, it is a pearl color that has a metallic texture and is tinged with cyan.
In the market, the price of gold pearls with a size of about 10mm and slight flaws is generally around US$500 to US$700 per piece.
And like the one in front of you, the diameter reaches about 18mm, which can be said to be almost the best. Such gold pearls often cost more than two thousand dollars each.
At this time, Huo Qingtong didn't mind that it was dirty. He reached out and took the golden pearl that had not been cleaned yet, took out a tissue and wiped it carefully.
Women, who doesn’t love this kind of jewelry?
Besides, this was a bet made by myself, which makes it even more memorable.
Therefore, Huo Qingtong does not intend to sell this golden pearl. He will ask someone to help design and make it into a pendant someday, which should look good.
Li Qiushui is envious!
She looked at Lin Yuan: "Brother Lin, help me pick a few too!"
Henry smiled and said: "It's not enough to help me pick, I have to help drive."
Everyone saw the situation just now. The stall owner in front of him opened four times in a row, and it was not until Lin Yuan opened it himself that he opened the golden pearl.
Lin Yuan waved his hands repeatedly: "I just opened the Golden Pearl, I guess all my luck has run out."
When everyone heard it, it seemed right. But the old uncle fell in love with the two conchs in the bucket of the stall owner. He had eaten these conchs before, and they were very good when grilled over charcoal. So, he pointed to the conch in the bucket and asked: "How much does the conch cost?"
Lin Yuan was very surprised because the conch was very precious. The treasure hunter showed a yellow light, indicating that it was worth more than 100,000 US dollars.
Originally, he wanted to win it by himself, but he didn't expect that the old uncle's vision would be so vicious this time.
However, he had no idea that the old uncle just wanted to buy it and eat it.
The stall owner was also stunned for a moment, because he bought these two conches to eat himself and did not intend to sell them. However, now that business is coming, there is no reason not to do it.
If you want to eat conches, you can go to the fishing port to buy them.
He first raised his thumb to his uncle: "You know the goods! This conch is delicious, especially..."
The old uncle interrupted his old lady selling melons.
"How much?"
"$300."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The price is a bit high, but the old uncle is also a bit "rich" now and is too lazy to care about it. He waved his hand: "Put it up for me."
The old viewers in the live broadcast room all said: My uncle is getting better now.
There’s no need to bargain for the $300 conch.
At this time, Lin Yuan also understood that the old uncle was just interested in the conch meat.
Sure enough, after the old uncle got the conch, he turned around and said to Lin Yuan and others: "In a moment, Paul and I will go get some more seafood. How about we have a camping barbecue later?"
What else?
Everyone must have no objection. They are all young people and like camping and barbecue more than my uncle.
"If I had known this, it would have been better for us to rent an RV and come out."
"It's a good idea to rent a pickup truck! Pull your camping stuff out."
Qiao Yufan and others discussed it one sentence at a time.
In the United States, pickup trucks are the most popular vehicles. Although SUVs and new energy sedans are also popular among locals, the status of pickup trucks remains unshakable.
First of all, the popularity of pickup trucks is inseparable from their culture. The pickup truck fully embodies their DIY spirit. Many people in the United States like DIY, and pickup trucks can haul various tools and materials.
The most important thing is that they like pickup trucks from the bottom of their hearts and do not feel that pickup trucks lose face. It is a common phenomenon to drive pickup trucks to parties.
Secondly, the United States is a large agricultural country. For some farmers, pickup trucks are the best choice for carrying goods and traveling.
In the United States, pickup trucks are agricultural vehicles with low emission requirements and no vehicle and vessel use tax. Agricultural vehicles entering the city enjoy many convenient discounts on agricultural products, fresh products, etc. They can use BRT express lanes and dedicated bus lanes to avoid congestion and many restrictions.
China's Sanbengzi has become popular in the United States because it also has the characteristics of a pickup truck and is more convenient.
"Who knew he would run here before setting off?" Qiao Yufan rolled his eyes.
They originally planned to go to Los Angeles.
Lin Yuan did not join the discussion, but looked at the two conches.
At first, he thought the conch shell was valuable, but he thought it was wrong if he thought about it seriously. If the conch shell is valuable, then both conches should be valuable.
It seems that what is valuable is something else, not the shell.
Suddenly, he thought of something, an orb that was similar to a pearl, but much more valuable than a pearl.
Apart from the orb, Lin Yuan really couldn't think of anything else valuable inside the conch.
That’s right! What Lin Yuan was thinking of was the Melo Pearl, known as the "Dragon Pearl" or the "Flame Pearl".
