Chapter 245 The Old Lady Gave Another Gift
"Shhh!!"
Ye Sihai let out a long, long sigh.
Damn!
You don't know until you see it.
It's scary.
Qiaohuamei is right.
This is not a pebble.
This is a gem!
If the stone is polished, it must be a top-grade gem.
Although the surface is already very smooth, the hazy layer covers the glossiness of the stone.
The white-bellied frigatebird originally lives in tropical and subtropical areas.
By the same token, the nearest subtropical gem production area is Sri Lanka.
And the gems in Sri Lanka have been mined almost completely.
These things that Ah Da brought back must be on some deserted islands and cliffs, where humans can't go at all.
Ye Sihai didn't know what to say for a moment.
Is this thing valuable?
Of course it is valuable.
It may even be worth a lot of money.
But...!
Forget it.
Don't think about it for now.
Just treat it as a pebble.
But don't let someone who knows the value of it steal it.
Also, I have to persuade the little Wanwan.
Don't give pebbles to a good friend in the future.
Ada has given Wanwan three, all of which are multicolored stones larger than pigeon eggs.
As for Qiaohuamei's, it is particularly large.
I guess Ada also knows that this female biped has a different relationship with his family's livelihood.
So, he specially gave a big one.
Ye Sihai decided to go to Ada's nest quietly when he was free.
"Is it very valuable?"
Qiaohuamei looked nervous and excited.
Ye Sihai put the stone back:
"It's a gemstone, it should be very valuable, but I don't know about the raw stone, but you have to keep it well and don't show it off everywhere."
Qiaohuamei was so excited that she danced with joy.
She likes to save money the most.
She is reluctant to spend a penny of the money Ye Sihai gave her.
She also asks her parents, brother and sister-in-law for living expenses.
She can't spend all the money, and she can save some money.
"Ada, thank you."
Qiaohua reached out and gently touched Ada's head again.
Ada immediately whimpered a few times.
Very proud.
Wanwan smiled and moved closer, touching Ada's forehead with her little face.
One person and one bird together, it was so fun to watch.
Qiaohua had no other thoughts now.
She spent all her time studying the gem in her hand carefully.
The more she looked at it, the more she liked it.
If you cut it open, there are several colors.
It's so beautiful, layer by layer.
Qiaohua held the colorful stone tightly in her palm, like a treasure, afraid of losing it.
"You look so ignorant."
Ye Sihai laughed:
"With Ada and the others, you can have as many as you want."
Qiaohua couldn't help but shine:
"Yes."
Ye Sihai smiled:
"Let's go, let you open your eyes again."
He took Qiaohua to the ecosystem in the middle of Crescent Bay.
"Wow, how did it become so beautiful?"
"Oh my god, Ye Sihai, this coral reef is so beautiful."
"The water is blue and transparent."
"Woo woo woo, Ye Sihai, you are so amazing."
Qiaohuamei was dazzled.
There were small groups of colorful tropical fish everywhere.
When Qiaohuamei saw the old lady sperm whale, she was shocked at first.
But she was not afraid soon.
"Is this the sperm whale?"
"Its head is so big."
"I want to touch it."
"Wow, Ye Sihai, look at the teeth on its lower jaw, they are 30 centimeters long, and they can bite me to death with one bite."
Ye Sihai...!
The sperm whale is originally a beast.
It has long teeth on the lower jaw and no teeth on the upper jaw.
This big guy, even Gray Ye has to admit defeat when he sees it.
Do you really think the old lady has no fighting power?
The old lady has shared memories with Ye Sihai for some time, how could she not recognize Qiaohuamei?
Seeing that she wanted to touch her head, the old lady slowly floated most of her head out of the sea.
The small half of her head was like a mountain.
"Ye Sihai, she is so smart, she actually let me touch her."
"Uh...!"
"Oh, she stinks."
"Don't talk nonsense, be careful she bites you."
"Sorry, sorry, big whale, I didn't mean it!"
Qiaohuamei quickly reached out and touched the old lady's head twice to comfort her.
Ye Sihai laughed:
"She is a female whale, more than a hundred years old, I call her grandma, you have to call her grandma too."
Qiaohuamei was shocked:
"More than a hundred... years old? Oh my God!"
Ye Sihai was about to speak.
Hmm?
The old lady passed a thought to him.
"Boy, give your young wife a gift."
The old lady shook her tail gently, her huge body retreated back, and then floated her head out of the water and opened her big mouth.
Her big mouth was indeed very smelly.
There is no way, the food is too good and too much, and brushing teeth with seawater every day is not enough.
"Oh, grandma is so stinky!"
Qiaohuamei can't stand the fishy smell at all.
She almost vomited.
Ye Sihai hurriedly comforted her:
"Be polite, grandma gave you a gift."
"Huh?"
Qiaohuamei immediately became energetic:
"Really?"
The old lady slowly spit out a shell about the size of a bowl from her mouth.
Ye Sihai was shocked.
In the summer, he picked up a giant clam fossil and studied it specifically.
Giant clam is the king of shells.
But there is another kind of shell, which is called the queen of shells.
That is the queen shell.
It is jade white with pink, extremely beautiful.
The queen shell, also known as the queen phoenix conch, can be worn as a bracelet.
The degree of beauty is even higher than that of giant clam.
The most precious thing is not the queen shell itself.
Because the queen shell produces a kind of pearl.
Conch pearl.
In a world dominated by cultured pearls, the pearls that are naturally formed without human intervention are rare treasures.
The black pearl on Qiaohuamei's bracelet is already very rare and precious.
But compared with the conch pearls produced by the queen shell, it is nothing.
Conch pearls are also pink.
The closer the pink is to red, the rarer it is.
A top-quality conch pearl is worth millions.
It is the Rolls-Royce of pearls, more precious than diamonds.
The largest conch pearl on auction record today is 50 carats and the size of an index finger.
Conch pearls are called conch pearls abroad and are the most precious organic gemstones.
"Hey, what is that?"
Qiaohuamei didn't know yet, and her small money would be much more.
"Ye Sihai, do you know him?"
Ye Sihai didn't hesitate and jumped directly into the old lady's mouth.
Enduring the fishy smell, he picked up the queen shell and climbed onto the motorboat.
It was heavy in his hand.
"Thank you, grandma."
Qiaohuamei thanked the old lady very politely, but Ye Sihai concentrated on washing the queen shell.
There were a lot of disgusting things in the shell, but when you are in the sea, you can't see it, so you can tolerate everything.
Not long after.
He trembled all over.
He touched it.
In his hand, it was a water drop-shaped thing as big as a table tennis ball.
Pray it's pink!
He suppressed his excitement and slowly took out the pearl.
Wash it in the water with eyes closed...!
"Wow, it's so beautiful!"
Qiaohuamei couldn't help herself first.
Ye Sihai opened his eyes and took a look.
He was stunned.
Bright pink.
Regardless of the value, this size and color are unique in the world.
The little fiancée posted it.
