Chapter 47: What does this flame pattern look like?
Jiang Xia quickly walked to Zhou Chenglei: "Open a conch?"
"Yes." Zhou Chenglei carefully placed the two conchs on the ground and went to the utility room to find tools.
Mother Zhou saw two big guys on the ground and said in surprise: "Hey, what kind of conch is this? It's such a big one! These two big things are quite beautiful. Why didn't you sell them just now? So... The beautiful conch shell is also worth some money.”
The shell of the orangutan sea chrysanthemum clam is similar in color to the shell of the coconut, except that the shell is covered with white spikes of different lengths, which is not easy to mess with. .
The imperial tangle is white, decorated with brown spots. It also has thorns, but the thorns are not as sharp as the star clam, nor are they completely untouchable like the orangutan clam. It has thorns but is a bit blunt. feeling.
Father Zhou just came out of the bath, took a look, immediately put down the bucket and walked over: "What are you selling?! This snail is the imperial Tang Guan snail, and this is the orangutan sea chrysanthemum clam. Such a big one may produce pearls. Oh! Which one of you picked it up?"
Zhou Chenglei: "Jiang Xia picked it up."
Father Zhou: "..."
Jiang Xia again?
"Xiao Xia, your shipping is amazing!"
Jiang Xia smiled: "I am just a blind cat that hit a dead mouse."
When Mother Zhou heard that there was a possibility of pearls, she urged: "Then hurry up and open it!"
Tian Caihua came in with a basket of vegetables and asked casually: "What blind cat hit a dead mouse? Why open it?"
She is I went to the vegetable garden to pick cucumbers and gave them to the children as fruits. This year’s cucumbers are growing well and there are so many of them. If I don’t eat them, I will get old, so I sent a basket over.
Then Tian Caihua saw two big guys on the ground. Her eyes widened: "What kind of conches are these? Fourth younger sister, did you pick them up?"
Jiang Xia couldn't hide them even if she wanted to. , who knew she just left and came back.
Mother Zhou was proud: "Except for Xiaoxia, who in our family has that shipping? Dad said it's the Imperial Tang Guanluo and some kind of star clam. There may be pearls. Ah Lei, hurry up and see if there are any pearls."
Tian Caihua is sour again, what kind of shipping is this from Jiangxia?
She couldn't help but said: "This conch looks really big, but I saw that the conch with pearls that Dahai picked up before was bigger than this one. This one is so small. I don't know if there are any. ?”
Mother Zhou glared at her: "Bah, bah, bah...you crow's mouth! If you can't speak, don't speak!"
The orangutan sea chrysanthemum clam was covered in thorns, and Zhou Chenglei managed to remove it with gloves. The clam shell was pried open, and a white UFO-shaped pearl was exposed in the clam meat!
Tian Caihua: "..."
What kind of luck is this?
Just pick up something covered in thorns and get a pearl?
Although Jiang Xia had known about the pearl for a long time, she still couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised: "This pearl is quite big."
Zhou Chenglei pinched the pearl and washed it in a bowl of salt water. Wash it before handing it to Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia took it and looked at it.
The pearls of the orangutan sea chrysanthemum clam are white, without any pearlescent luster, not round enough, and only have a little luster. Its luster is far less than that of ordinary white pearls, but this pearl is bigger than a suit button. The most important thing is that its texture is like a camellia!
It just lies in the palm of your hand like a blooming white camellia, elegant and low-key.
Even if it lacks a little pearlescent sparkle, it’s still worth a lot of money!
If it can go to an international auction, it will probably be bought by someone from a certain brand at a high price!
Tian Caihua took a look: "The pearls are pearls, they are big enough, but they have too many flaws and no luster at all. I'm afraid they are not worth much. What a pity!"
Not all pearls are valuable.
Mother Zhou was also a little disappointed. How could such a big pearl lack some sparkle? Otherwise it would be worth a lot of money!
Jiang Xia: "If you can't sell it for much, then keep it. This is a natural pearl, a gift from nature. It's not expensive and it can keep your home!"
Father Zhou can't stand listening to his eldest daughter-in-law either. If this is unlucky, no matter what, it is very good luck to get a pearl.
He said: "Jiang Xia is right. The old man in the past said that intact pearls can ward off evil spirits. If you can't sell them for money, keep them at home. Such a big one can keep your family safe. "
The corners of Tian Caihua's mouth moved, thinking that a pearl can also keep the house safe? Everyone was safe and well that day, but they didn't say anything, so as not to displease their parents-in-law. Tian Caihua said: "The fourth brother and sister are so lucky, maybe this conch also has pearls. The fourth brother quickly takes it out and has a look."
Zhou Chenglei wanted to break the conch shell into pieces. Jiang Xia thought that such a big conch shell could be used as a work of art and was quite beautiful. She quickly stopped him: "Is there a way to get out the conch meat without breaking the conch shell?"
Father Zhou immediately took out an iron hook.
It took some effort for Zhou Chenglei to use an iron hook to pull out a large piece of conch meat.
Mother Zhou: "Look carefully for pearls."
Zhou Chenglei rummaged through the conch meat carefully.
The family gathered around him, watching his movements without blinking.
Tian Caihua’s heart is aroused. He has already opened one just now. He can’t be so lucky, right?
Suddenly Zhou Chenglei made a move.
Tian Caihua’s heart skipped a beat.
Isn’t it?
Zhou Chenglei pinched the conch meat, and he pinched out a golden, round pearl the size of a fingernail.
Father Zhou's eyes lit up: "This pearl is valuable at first sight."
Tian Caihua: "!!!"
Mother Zhou said excitedly: "This pearl It’s beautiful! It looks like a gold pearl, and it looks so smooth. It seems to have no flaws.”
Ninety-nine percent of pure natural wild pearls will have flaws. Is it true that there are no flaws at all? God favors you and makes you rich.
Zhou Chenglei washed the pearl in salt water before handing it to Jiang Xia: "There is no flaw, that is not a flaw at all."
Jiang Xia was reaching out to pick it up, Tian Caihua reluctantly He couldn't help but reach out to grab it: "Let me see!"
Zhou Chenglei avoided her hand and handed it to Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia reached out and took it.
Tian Caihua pursed her lips and retracted her hand silently: What's so great about it? It’s not like I’ve never seen it before!
She also picked up a pearl oyster a few years ago and found two pearls.
Jiang Xia ignored her and lowered her head to study the pearl in her hand.
This is a golden pearl with a little orange flame pattern. The shape of the pearl is very good, it is a perfect circle, the luster is soft and full, and it is full of pearls.
"This bead is much better than the one just now. It is round and big. If it is not flawless, it is worth at least a hundred or dozens of yuan." Zhou's mother looked at it with a pleased tone.
Jiang Xia turned the pearl in her hand: "There is a little flaw."
Tian Caihua also saw the small black spots on it, "It looks so good, why is there still a little flaw? ? Otherwise it would be so valuable!"
Jiang Xia didn't say anything, looking at the texture on the pearl carefully. Suddenly, she pulled Zhou Chenglei's clothes: "Zhou Chenglei, look at the flame pattern on this pearl. What?”
Jiang Xia’s voice couldn’t help but be a little excited.
