Chapter 93 Jiang Xia's hand is the Midas Touch
Father Zhou closed the courtyard door, returned to the patio and sat down: "Open the pearl!"
The tone was obviously not as cheerful as before.
Mother Zhou had already finished washing the dishes and asked, "Did Zhou Bingqiang's family buy another boat?"
Zhou Bingqiang spoke so loudly that the whole family heard it.
Father Zhou pretended not to care and said: "Just buy it, it's none of our business."
That's what he said, but Father Zhou was envious. Three fishing boats went out to sea together every day. How much money can you make?
The grandson won’t be able to show off in front of him every day from now on?
But his family doesn’t have the strength, A Lei doesn’t have a house, and he doesn’t have a child.
I lived in this house in fear when it was windy or rainy. Sooner or later I had to build it, but the money I earned to build the house was gone.
A boat costs several thousand, or even tens of thousands of dollars, and the price increases every year. It is very difficult to save money to buy a boat!
He can only look back and sigh!
Zhou Chenglei: "Dad, Jiang Xia and I are also planning to go to the shipyard tomorrow and order a ship."
Father Zhou's eyes lit up: "Do you have enough money?"
“Order a boat that’s about the same size as your home, it should be about the same.”
Father Zhou suddenly became more energetic: “I’ll go with you tomorrow and open the pearls quickly. After that, go to bed early tonight.”
Mother Zhou also laughed: "Why don't you hurry up and open it!"
So Father Zhou happily picked up a pearl oyster from the snakeskin bag and pried it.
As a result, the first pearl oyster opened by Zhou’s father had no pearls.
Father Zhou: “…”
"Thanks for being so big, there are no pearls!"
He looked at Zhou Chenglei depressedly.
As soon as Zhou Chenglei pried open the pearl oyster, he saw a white pearl exposed in the shell's flesh.
Jiang Xia smiled: "It looks pretty big, I wonder if there are any flaws."
Father Zhou also laughed: "It's pretty big! Take it out quickly and see if there are any flaws."
Zhou Chenglei buttoned it up and washed it with salt water in a bowl: "A little bit."
Jiang Xia: "Let me take a look."
Zhou Chenglei put the pearl in Gave it to her.
Jiang Xia took it and looked at it carefully. The white pearl had a faint pink luster. The pearl was lustrous and full of color. The shape was perfectly round, about 10mm, but there were some flaws, but this flaw was almost Can be ignored.
Most wild natural pearls have flaws, while cultured pearls have fewer flaws and better luster.
This one is considered to be of the highest quality, because pearls need to be drilled to make jewelry, so the flaws can be completely covered up.
She handed it to Father Zhou, who took it and took a look at it and smiled from ear to ear: "Haha, not bad, such a big piece with few flaws, it should be worth thirty or forty yuan."
< br>Father Zhou felt that he was out of luck, so he said: "Xiao Xia, pick a pearl oyster and I'll open it. You're in luck."
Jiang Xia was amused by what Father Zhou said: "Dad, it's the same for everyone. Yes, if there were pearls, they would have grown inside."
Zhou's father: "It's different before it's opened! Ah Lei's pearl oyster has touched it. If it doesn't open, it will be. A good pearl?"
Zhou Chenglei: "Well, you're lucky, help me get one too."
Jiang Xia twitched her lips and convinced the two of them to take one. A pearl oyster for them.
Father Zhou pried it open happily, and then took a breath!
"Haha... I just said Xiaoxia is lucky."
Jiang Xia's hand is the golden touch!
Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei both looked over.
A golden pearl was pulled out by Zhou's father, which was bigger than the one Zhou Chenglei had just pulled out.
It is estimated to be about 12mm, and it is golden, round and smooth, shiny and jewel-like. "This one is really flawless at all!" Father Zhou held it in his hand and smiled from ear to ear, as if he was appreciating some unique treasure.
After watching it, he showed it to Zhou’s mother. Zhou’s mother said with a smile: “This one is good, the golden color is beautiful, like gold.”
Old people like gold. She doesn't think the white ones are beautiful.
Zhou Chenglei also prescribed two pills. Both pills are white with a bit of pink luster. They are exactly the same size. Some small flaws are not obvious. They can be made into rings, earrings, or pendants to cover up.
Jiang Xia: "These two look like twins. I will put them together separately. When I sell them, I will tell the buyer that they are from a pearl oyster. Maybe I can sell them for more money."
Zhou Father: "That makes sense. I'll tell you that you're lucky. Come again!"
Jiang Xia handed another pearl oyster to the two of them.
Zhou Chenglei took the pearl oyster handed over by Jiang Xia. It was a big pearl oyster and a bit heavy.
Zhou Chenglei pried it open but did not see the pearl.
Father Zhou took a look and said, "Is such a big shell without a shell?"
Zhou Chenglei pinched the white mussel meat, pinched something hard, and pulled it out. A gray-black pearl. It's round and translucent, and it's big, over 12mm!
“This one is good!” Jiang Xia blurted out, her eyes brightening.
Father Zhou took a look: "Black pearls! They are rare! Check if there are any flaws."
"No." Zhou Chenglei put them in a bucket, washed them, and then put them in a bowl Washed it and handed it to Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia held the pearl and looked around carefully. Under the light, the black and green pearls reflected five colors, with soft luster, fine texture, crystal clear, round and full,
Black pearls It was considered a pearl of rare color. Jiang Xia vaguely felt that this pearl would definitely fetch a good price.
Jiang Xia gave another pearl oyster to the two of them.
There were two pearls that Father Zhou pried open this time, one was deformed, one was very large, one was small and the other was round.
Father Zhou: "It's a pity, this one is so big, but it has a weird shape."
Father Zhou washed it and put it in the clam shell.
Jiang Xia felt that this Baroque pearl had a beautiful shape and color. She smiled and said: "This kind is called Baroque pearl. Foreigners like it very much. It can be used to make pendants, brooches and other accessories." ”
Father Zhou instantly felt that this Baroque pearl was particularly beautiful!
You have to be educated, otherwise if he sells it, it will be sold at a low price, "Sell it to a ghost guy and earn foreign exchange!"
Jiang Xia smiled.
Next, the pearls that Zhou’s father and Zhou Chenglei opened were not very big, but many were 7-8mm. Most of them had some flaws, but not many. Some of them also opened a few millet beads, and some were sold. I got a large bead of over 12mm, pink, no flaws, very beautiful color, pink, very special pink, jewel-like.
The production of seawater pearls is relatively small. Generally, one shell gives birth to 1-2 pearls. However, wild seawater pearls are nucleated pearls with relatively large particles, mostly round and perfect in shape, but the surface will be uneven. A little imperfect, less perfect.
Probably Zhou Chenglei only picks out big and old pearls. The pearl content is quite high. He only found one without so many pearls. Moreover, the quality of the pearls is very good, round and beautiful in color. , there are few flaws, only a few grains have very obvious flaws, the color is not enough, it looks ugly, worthless, and can only be used for grinding.
Soon, more than thirty pearl oysters were opened, and the largest pearl oyster was left. Zhou Chenglei picked it up.
Father Zhou clapped his hand: "Xiao Xia didn't touch it, why did you touch it?"
Zhou Chenglei: "..."
Zhou Chenglei simply looked at Jiang Xia: "Do you want to try?"
Father Zhou immediately said: "Yes, Xiaoxia will drive!"
Jiang Xia saw that they had been driving for so long and knew how to drive, so she nodded. : "Okay, then I'll drive it."
"Be careful, don't hurt your hand." Zhou Chenglei gave her the tool.
Jiang Xia took the pearl shell and the knife and inserted the knife into the shell like Zhou Chenglei did.
Zhou Chenglei was frightened when he saw it, fearing that she would pierce his hand through the thrust, so he directly held her hand and started to move with her.
Coming, coming, coming again! Husband and wife are in love, and it's time for him to serve as a memorial tablet.
Father Zhou immediately straightened his back and straightened his posture!
