Chapter 108 Conch Pearl

When they arrived home, Lin Xiuqing had just boiled the water and put the Tang Guanluo in. After all, it took a lot of time to start a fire in an earthen stove with matches.

"Are you all back?"

Sister-in-law Ye glanced at the pot, her eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "You have already put it in the pot, so let's wait until you are cooked to see if there are any beads. I will wait for the next pot."

To avoid confusion, what if a bead comes out? Whose? It’s time to tell.

Lin Xiuqing smiled nonchalantly, "Okay."

Sister-in-law Ye asked curiously: "Why did you all pick up this snail? I just saw the secretary's wife pick one up, and Adan who makes shrimp paste also picked up one."

Sister-in-law Ye Er smiled and said, "I don't even know this snail. I only found out about it when Yaodong told me about it."

Then he looked at Ye Yaodong, "What kind of beads can this imperial snail produce? Is it valuable?"

"What bead? It's called the Imperial Tang Guanluo Pearl, which is also a type of conch bead. This snail is a little more precious, and there is a certain probability of producing Tang Guanluo Pearl. There are no conch pearls that are worthless. It all depends on whether you are lucky enough to get them. ”

"Don't worry about it. If it can't be driven out, go ahead and do what you have to do. The tiles are still stuck over there. I'll drive the boat to a safe haven." Father Ye has no hope. The probability is too low, not to mention The daughters-in-law picked it up, and it has nothing to do with him.

Mother Ye didn't care about what they were doing, and went to the backyard to pick and wash vegetables, preparing to make lunch.

After Ye's father left, the two brothers, the eldest and the second, were about to go to the house to help, but they were stopped by Ye Yaodong, "Let's go together later. It's only a short time anyway, so it's not enough time."

He has already opened Melezhu, but he still has hope.

So does Lin Xiuqing.

When it was almost cooked, she took the two out, and Sister-in-law Ye couldn't wait to put her two in.

Ye Yaodong wrapped his hands in a rag and grabbed the snail, took a piece of tachyon and shot it from its head, then rotated the snail meat and carefully picked it out.

He pinched its tail, but there was nothing. He reluctantly broke off the meat on its head, but there was nothing.

He shrugged and handed the kuaizi to his wife, "I don't have this one. Maybe I'm unlucky. There's another one for you to try."

"good."

The result, without a doubt, is that there is none!

Seeing her disappointed expression, Ye Yaodong comforted her and said, "It's okay. It's normal not to have conch beads. How can you have such good luck every day? People may not be able to get one out even if they open tens of thousands."

"Is the probability really so low?"

After opening a Melo Bead, she seemed to have the illusion that these conch beads were easy to obtain.

"Of course! If it's too easy, how can it be rare? Conch beads are different from pearls. Conch beads come out of the shell when the conch eats, bringing sand or other impurities from the outside into the body, and then its flesh is irritated , it continuously secretes unique substances to wrap the foreign objects, and as the foreign objects continue to wrap up larger and larger in the conch body, it slowly forms."

"This takes 5-20 years, while 1-6 years is enough for Danshui pearls. These are much more precious than pearls. I heard that only one conch pearl can appear in 50,000 conches."

After saying that, he glanced at his wife, as if to say, now you know how lucky you are, right?

Lin Xiuqing was instantly comforted.

Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua also looked at Ye Yaodong in surprise, "How do you know so much?"

They all knew that there was a very small chance that conch beads could be produced from conches, but they didn't know the principle. When they heard what he said, they suddenly became enlightened.

"I'm not fooling around for free?"

If he lives for a few more decades, he will certainly know more than them. In a few decades, information will flow quickly, and various short videos will be available, and even illiterate people will know a lot of things.

They suddenly looked at each other with admiration, and Ye Yaohua said with a smile: "In the future, if we don't know something, we don't have to ask anyone else, we can just ask you."

"Don't think too highly of me. I only know a little bit. It's very limited. I can only show off occasionally."

Lin Xiuqing glanced at him with a snicker. He must have found it troublesome!

After hearing what he said, Second Sister-in-law Ye gave up hope.

Only one conch bead can be produced out of 50,000 conches. Isn't this just like getting lucky?

Even if this Imperial Tang Guanluo could produce Imperial Tang Guanluo pearls, the probability was too low. If she had known it would have been better to sell it directly, she regretted it now.

At first, I was blinded by what he said about the top ten precious and rare pearls.

Alas, I regret patting my thigh!

When the snails in the pot were almost cooked, she didn't look forward to it any more. She just fished it out and asked Ye Yaohua to pick out the tassels and slice them into slices, so as not to end up like Ye Yaodong, who made them all messy and fried.

"You just cut it? Don't you look carefully?"

Second Sister-in-law Ye suffered heavy losses and was in a bad mood. She said angrily: "Mom is ready to cook. Why don't you just cut it?"

"Okay, there's also a coconut snail meat there, let's cut it up and fry it too."

"Ah? You even opened a coconut snail?"

"Yeah, there's nothing. If I had known I could have sold it directly, I could have made a few dollars."

Lin Xiuqing really felt that it was a pity. She had always been thrifty, but today she was really extravagant. She actually wasted 3 top-quality snails. Moreover, she didn't feel heartache, only a little bit of pity. She also thought it would be good to try it, maybe she would be cheated. Her man is evil!

When Second Sister-in-law Ye heard that they had opened an extra coconut snail, her heart immediately became balanced. They were even more at a loss!

After Ye Mu came in with the washed vegetables, she saw the smashed snail meat on the stove and the snails being sliced. She asked casually, "Is there nothing?"

"Oh~ No...ah! What is this?"

Sister-in-law Ye Er felt she had cut something foreign and quickly put down her kitchen knife. When she saw a milky white to pale yellow bead in the snail meat, she was immediately ecstatic.

"pearl!?"

After hearing this, everyone else hurriedly came over to take a look, and their eyes widened instantly.

"Damn it, is it really happening!?"

"Ah, conch beads!"

"Let me see……"

Ye Yaohua was so excited that he wanted to reach out his hand, but Sister-in-law Ye slapped it away. She said in pain: "There is a scratch, cut by a knife! I XXX..."

She couldn't help but curse in the local dialect, feeling very distressed.

Who would have thought that even though she had given up hope, it would be cut out for her? It’s really a shame!

She kept stroking the scratches on it distressedly, wishing she could smooth it away. If she had known it, she would have imitated Ye Yaodong and dug out the snail meat first. She actually cut it so hard just now.

She was so angry!

Everyone also saw clearly a scratch on it. Although it was not their own thing, they were also very heartbroken!

This is a conch bead!

I can let them go out and play for several days.

Ye Mu also immediately wiped her wet hands and hurried over, her eyes widened, "And... I really gave you conch beads? Why are you so careless? You still cut them with a knife. Why didn't you cook them after they were cooked? Do you want to buckle it and take a look first? Hey, the scratch is still so big..."

Mother Ye felt very distressed when she saw it, her facial features were wrinkled together, what a conch pearl! No one in their village has been driving in recent years.

"Mom, please stop talking, I'm already sad enough." Sister-in-law Ye kept touching her face while crying, and then walked to the back door with the beads.

Her heart is bleeding...

"You should take a look at it!" Brother Ye was also very distressed and really wanted to take it in his hand and take a look at it.

"Here you go, here you go!"

Brother Ye held the beads in his hands and felt very distressed. He couldn't help complaining: "It's already cooked, why don't you know how to pick it? Look at this scratch... How can you fix it?" They are all flawed..."

"You still know how to talk about me? Why didn't you remind me? You were watching from the sidelines, and now you have the nerve to open your mouth to scold me. If you are more determined and remind me to pick it, I won't be disappointed and just cut it with a knife... …”

The more Sister-in-law Ye thought about it, the angrier she became. As she spoke, she took action and slapped him hard several times, "It's all you..."

Brother Ye shrugged his shoulders and did not dodge, and let her slap him, "You... why are you so unreasonable, slap me down! You obviously cut it with a knife yourself, and you blame me for not reminding you! Xiuqing reminded you, let you Look carefully, you didn’t listen, and you blame me for not saying anything…”

"She is her, and you are you. If you remind me, I will definitely think about digging..."

Ye Yaohua was exhausted, "You are still reasonable! Look at what you have become..."

"How did I know there were really beads inside?"

A good deed turned into a family farce in an instant. Everyone was a little dumbfounded. Brother Ye had always listened to Sister-in-law Ye, and it was rare for him to speak loudly.

However, she was still invincible against Second Sister-in-law Ye's nonsense.

After Ye Mu heard the reason, she couldn't help but said, "Okay, okay, I didn't even look carefully, and now it's scratched, who can I blame? Let me take a look."

Brother Ye handed the conch bead to Mother Ye again, and then everyone saw clearly what the conch bead looked like. It was about the size of a soybean, in an irregular oval shape, with a very obvious scratch in the middle.

Now even Ye's mother couldn't help but blame Sister-in-law Ye, "Tell me, why didn't you take it out? You've already cooked it, so why do you still need so much time? Dongzi and the others didn't take it out, it doesn't mean you didn't either, you If you don’t have any hope, you might as well just sell the conch just now.”

Facing Mother Ye, Sister-in-law Ye did not have the confidence to mess around, so she just said depressedly: "How could I know!"

Sister-in-law Ye smiled and smoothed things over and said, "It's already like this. There's no point in talking about it. Since you can get conch beads, it's a good thing. It's better than nothing! If it's defective, you can't sell it for money, but you can keep it for yourself. You can use it to make a pendant or a ring. The color is the same as the conch shell, so it looks pretty good."

"I can only wear it myself."

After Ye's mother looked at it twice, she returned the beads to Ye Ersao.

Sister-in-law Ye was comforted. Although she felt better, she was still very depressed.

Lin Xiuqing said with a smile: "There is another one. Second sister-in-law, why don't you dig it up and take a look? Maybe you can dig out another one, and you will really make a fortune."

"Yes, yes, there is one more." She almost forgot. She was so surprised and depressed by this conch that she forgot that there was another conch that had not been dug out yet.

Everyone was looking forward to it now, and several pairs of eyes were looking passionately at the Tang Guanluo in her hand.

When she was taking Kuaizi's handbag to the table, Ye Yaohua suddenly held her hand, "How about you let me do this?"

"Don't get in the way!" Sister-in-law Ye nudged him with her elbow angrily, and then went to pick out the snail meat.
