Mermaid prince travels to eighty

Xiao Yuzai and Qianqian didn't wait long.

The two just stood at the door for about 5 minutes before they saw Lawrence coming out with her son.

Lawrence's eyes were a little red, but the expression on his face was already relaxed.

"The others are still inside, let's find a clean place to talk first." Lawrence's son finished speaking, wrapped his arms around his mother, and stretched out the other, signaling Xiao Yuzai to follow them.

Xiao Yuzai nodded, followed the mother and son together with brother Qianqian, and walked to a nearby conference room.

Pushing open the glass door of the conference room, the two mother and son walked in and sat on chairs at random.

Xiao Yuzai and Qianqian followed in, closed the door and sat down.

"Song, I'll just say it directly. The black pearl you opened just now must have been transferred to me, right?"

Xiao Yuzai looked at Lawrence and nodded: "Well, we agreed at the beginning. If I meet the black pearl, I will give it to you."

As he spoke, he took out the black pearl wrapped in white flannel from the cowhide bag he was carrying.

Against the backdrop of white flannel, this pearl looks extremely low-key and luxurious.

Xiao Yuzai thought, if the black pearls he and brother Qianqian were carrying were not of better quality than this, he would be envious of Lawrence's luck.

Yes, Xiao Yuzai felt that it was Lawrence's own luck to find this pearl this time.Although I have the ability to help in the middle, if there is no invitation from Lawrence, there will be no follow-up income.

"Just give me the money I paid for this, and the pearl will be yours."

Xiao Yuzai put the black pearl and the white flannel on the table.Lawrence hurried over, holding the black pearl in both hands, feeling a little agitated.

Lawrence's son said: "Please don't be offended. My mother is a little out of control. This pearl belongs to you, Mr. Song, and we will buy it at the market price. I can't directly buy you the price of sea oysters. It's not fair to you."

Xiao Yuzai thought for a while and said, "However, you didn't take any benefits when you brought us in. So I can't charge you more than what you paid for sea clams."

Qianqian listened to Xiao Yuzai and Lawrence's son evading back and forth. It was getting late, so we couldn't waste too much time.

He thought for a while and said, "Let's not push back and forth. Or you can follow our ideas, sir!"

Lawrence, whose mood had stabilized again, said, "Charlie, just trade according to their words! However, I can't take advantage of your children. I see that you are all very interested in pearl farming. I invite you to our shellfish breeding field visit experience.”

Lawrence is going to show them around and study as a thank you.

Xiao Yuzai was very happy when he heard that he could visit and experience their shellfish farm.

I just took a look at the albeit farm I visited last time.This time it was invited by Lawrence, so they should be able to see the production process of the entire industrial chain.

"Okay, thank you."

Hearing their reply, Lawrence took out a business card from his bag and handed it to Xiao Yuzi.The two sides agreed on the time and place of the next meeting.After receiving the payment, Xiao Yuzai and Qianqian left the exhibition center first.

After returning to the dormitory by car, Xiao Yuzai and Qianqian threw a large bag of sea mussels into a plastic bucket.

"Brother, why are you so excited about Lawrence getting the black pearl?"

Xiao Yuzai is actually very curious, but he thinks it's his privacy, so it's not easy to ask.

Qianqian handed him a bottle of drink, sat next to him, and said softly, "It must be a touching story."

Xiao Yuzai took a sip of his drink and nodded: "It must be. Her feelings are too complicated, I can't even understand them."

"Brother, let's open clams together!"

Xiao Yuzai put aside the little doubt just now, looked at the plastic bucket, and said with a smile.

The two didn't go anywhere, and directly lifted the barrel to the small balcony of the room.

Then he squatted on the ground and started to open the clams.

I saw Qianqian picked up the knife, took a sea clam and started to move.

They bought a total of 9 sea mussels this time.

The first one to open is the relatively small sea clam.

Xiao Yuzai is very optimistic about this little thing.

Qianqian raised the knife and dropped the clam in a second.Tear off the mantle inside and pull out the pearl.

This is a 10mm black pearl.In terms of size, it's not too big.It's not even round in shape.

But the color of this black pearl is very beautiful.Unlike the one that was transferred to Lawrence before, it had a black halo under the light.Instead, under natural light, it exudes a halo similar to golden luster, which is very peculiar.

Xiao Yuzai couldn't help admiring the good craftsmanship of that shellfish farm.I don't know how their sea oysters are raised in this way, and such pearls can still appear.

Rinse the pearls and put them in a transparent box on the side.

The two continued to open clams.

The remaining 8 sea mussels are full of goods, most of which are white pearls.The size of these pearls is generally between 10-15 mm, and they are mainly round.There are two drop-shaped purple pearls mixed inside.

Xiao Yuzai is very satisfied with this harvest.

If it wasn't for Lawrence's help, they wouldn't be able to get these pearls of such good condition at such a low price.Although he can go to the deep sea to find it by himself, but he has been too busy recently.Unless you finish your studies here, you probably won't have time to go to sea in the short term.

After the two packed up their things, they returned to the room with freshly baked pearls.

Xiao Yuzai picked up the pair of purple pearls, thinking about what to do with it.

Qianqian came back after throwing away the trash, saw his appearance, and said, "Little Yuzai, hurry up and do your homework for your professional class. If you don't do the small homework, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it tomorrow."

Xiao Yuzai: "Brother, when I think about it, I will give gifts to Dad, Mom, Uncle Zheng, and Aunt Xiaoyu."

They were two-thirds of the way through this exotic trip.

When he finished the small homework and the big final homework, they were going home.Moreover, there is still time to visit Lawrence's shellfish farm in the middle.Time is really not enough!

Xiao Yuzai wants to learn more knowledge here, but he wants to go home more!Relatives and friends at home don't know how they are doing?Every time I call home, my father and mother only say that the family is very good and let him and brother Qianqian study hard here.

However, without seeing them with his own eyes, he was always worried.He has not forgotten the great achievements of that Haiji family before the Chinese New Year last year.

As for the Zheng family and the Song family, although it cannot be said that they encountered difficulties.However, when Xiao Yuzai and Qianqian went abroad as exchange students, they did encounter a lot of small troubles.Even if these minor annoyances are eventually resolved, it makes them sick to keep going back and forth like this.

During the Chinese New Year, Hai Kee saw that their seafood shop was closed for rest, so they simply opened the whole New Year without rest.

Taking advantage of the Chinese New Year period, there are discounts every day.

It is the price of jumping off a building and the price of cabbage at every turn.Occasionally there is a buy one get one free event.

During that time, most residents in the entire southern province knew of the existence of such a seafood chain store.

However, in addition to setting up price stations, they also told the residents who came to buy seafood that their seafood shops were too expensive.It is obviously a local, but it is a shop that cheats the locals.

Of course, few neighbors would believe such a statement.

However, Nan Province is a province with a large population flow.There are often new residents who hear the rumors and are attracted by them, but stay away from such a long-established seafood shop like theirs.

In the end, this matter was settled by two strong women, Chen Hehua and Chen Xiaoyu.

The two went directly to the Southern Province TV station and invested tens of thousands of yuan in advertising fees.Promote their reputation further on television.

This effect is very obvious.

When many people see that advertisement now, they will come to watch it.The downside of this is that advertising costs affect profit margins at a rate that is visible to the naked eye.

Originally, the seafood they sold was a conscience price.Therefore, once there is a large expenditure, it is difficult to hedge this expenditure all at once.Especially things like seafood, cheap seafood is bought every day.But the really precious and rare ones are very difficult to sell.

Of course, in addition to the small problems in the seafood shop, there are also problems in the oyster farm they opened.

The oysters raised outside did not know what happened, and all of them died overnight.Although staff on night shift were arranged to guard the oyster farm, these people said that they did not see any strangers approaching their oyster farm that day.

Such large-scale deaths are generally caused by bad things in the sea water.And this thing is neither too close nor too far away.And to say the least, someone made trouble on purpose.

Because they will conduct a water quality test at 6 o'clock every morning, the four characters of natural death are basically ruled out.

The luck in the misfortune is that this batch is all oyster seedlings.Although oyster seedlings are expensive, if they are all adult oysters that have been raised for two years, then the two of them will really suffer.

In the end, this incident was only characterized as a sudden overnutrition of the water quality, which caused the oysters to die due to lack of oxygen.Both families do not believe this result, but there is no other means of investigation.I can only wait for the seawater to metabolize automatically, and then buy a new batch of oyster seedlings.

But Zheng's fishery is a little calmer.

Because the rules and regulations in all aspects are very strict, there are no major problems.Occasionally, someone places an order for a batch of fish, but runs away without a deposit.However, such a small size has no major impact on Zheng's fishery.

These things, the two families have a tacit understanding, and did not tell the two sons who are far away abroad.Instead, choose to face and solve these difficulties by yourself.

Xiao Yuzai and Qianqian don't know anything about the family affairs.

Today was another weekend, and they took this opportunity to go to Lawrence's shellfish farm.

This shellfish farm is a bit far from the school.

It took the two of them almost two hours to get there by taxi.

After getting off the car, I realized that this area is all shellfish farms.

According to the taxi driver, this is their largest shellfish farm base in the country.

When the two arrived at the gate of the Beibei Base, they took out their mobile phones and called Lawrence.Although an appointment was made yesterday, after they came, they still needed someone from there to pick them up before they could go in.

Before the two of them had to wait too long, someone came over on a motorcycle.

The rumbling sound made Xiao Yuzai and Qianqian turn their heads.

They saw a heavy black locomotive parked in front of the two of them, and the driver was Lawrence's son Charlie.

"Mr. Charlie, why bother you to come and pick us up?"

Charlie waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, and signaled the two to get into the car.

After Qianqian got into the car first, he let Xiao Yuzai sit behind him.After the two sat down firmly, Charlie cheered harder, and with a bang, he headed towards his own farm.

Xiao Yuzai sat behind Qianqian, blocking all the sea breeze by him.

He turned his head to look at the surrounding environment freely.

There are no tall buildings here.Except for the road when they first came, there are some gravel roads.

The gravel roads extending in all directions lead to different farms.

The motorcycle drove to the end of the gravel road, and there was a two-story wooden house with white walls, with a distinctive wooden sign hanging on it.

Although Xiao Yuzai couldn't understand the words on it, he guessed that it was the name of the shellfish farm.

The two got out of the car, and after Charlie parked the motorcycle, they followed him directly to the beach.

The beach sand here is very fine.

Xiao Yuzai and Qianqian came here today wearing sports sandals, but they were not greatly affected.

Charlie, who was walking in the front, began to introduce that this sea area is all shellfish farms.In addition to their family, there are five other families.Everyone is about the same size, but the species of sea mussels they raise are different.The pearls produced by different sea clams will have different colors.

All five of them have their own characteristics. Although there is a competitive relationship, there are not many places where their business overlaps.

Xiao Yuzai looked around with interest.

Qianqian deserves to hold his hand to prevent him from falling because he didn't see the wooden slats on the ground.

Soon, they came to the beach.

The view from here is very spectacular.

As far as the eye can see, the offshore area is covered by the ropes for raising sea mussels.

These ropes are separated from each other at a certain distance and are fixed at sea.

But now in the sea, there are people holding small wooden boats to collect net cages for raising sea mussels.

Seeing how interested they were, Charlie simply said, "There is also a small boat here, I'll take you to see it."

Xiao Yuzai immediately dragged Qianqian up quickly, he couldn't wait to see it.

After the two got on the small wooden boat, they saw Charlie rowing the small wooden boat in one direction.

"The acre of sea oysters in front has been raised for five years, and it is ready to come out of the cage to pick pearls. You came at the right time."

As he said that, he carefully avoided the rope and went to the acre of sea mussels.

Soon, they reached their destination.

After Charlie stopped the boat, he demonstrated how to get the cage.

It's very simple, Xiao Yuzai and Qianqian both went to experience it for themselves.

It's just that the net cage is quite heavy, and there are about thirty or forty sea mussels in it, so the weight is still a little bit.

Charlie took them to catch five net cages together, and then rowed back.

Xiao Yuzai sat there, looking into the distance.

Many workers are sitting and doing the same movements, it seems that they are all ready to harvest.

After landing on the shore, Xiao Yuzai and Qian Qian walked to the wooden house with the net cage.

This wooden house is the office and mussel opening area of ​​the shellfish farm.

The delicate work of cultivating mussel seedlings and implanting pearl nuclei is carried out in the factory across the road.There, there is a sterile environment, and each sea oyster can be implanted with pearl nuclei to ensure that they can all produce beautiful pearls.

Listening to Charlie's introduction, Xiao Yuzai piled sea mussels in the workshop on the first floor of the wooden house.

There didn't seem to be many seats here, only Lawrence was there waiting for them.

"Oh, you are all here! Come and see this first."

Xiao Yuzai and Qianqian walked over after hearing Lawrence's words.

I saw a black pearl ring on her left ring finger.

Judging by the luster and size, it should be the pearl from that day.Unexpectedly, it was inlaid on the ring setting so quickly and became a ring.

"You must be surprised at my mood that day, right?"

Lawrence said, seeing Xiao Yuzai and Qianqian looked a little embarrassed.She smiled and waved her hands: "You don't have to be embarrassed. I was rude in public. If you don't mind this matter, I will tell you this little story."

Xiao Yuzai and Qianqian quickly said they didn't mind.

They could all see that Lawrence wanted to share with them.And they did care a little bit about the story.

"My husband promised to give me this ring. He knew that I like pearls, so he opened such a shellfish farm. At that time, we didn't have much money. Everything was done by ourselves. When we put the first mu After raising the sea oysters, my husband said that we only need to wait about ten years to get perfect pearls."

"At that time, we didn't know the color and shape of pearls, so we opened this shellfish farm with enthusiasm. Slowly, life got better. I also collected pearls of various colors. Before In two years, my husband saw my collection and was short of black pearls. He told me to breed sea oysters that could produce black pearls for me.”

"I was very happy and touched at that time. When our family of three was ready to devote energy to this project, my husband was diagnosed with cancer. Soon, before he had time to raise the black pearl sea oyster, he passed away. Before he passed away, He has always regretted that he couldn't help me raise black pearls."

Lawrence said this, with a smile on his face and tears rolling down his eyes.Transparent tears just dripped on the black pearl ring.

At this moment, Xiao Yuzai seemed to understand the relationship between her and her husband.

Lawrence was still lost in his thoughts.

"In order to let him know that I can have a black pearl. In the past two years, I have been looking for the right pearl everywhere. I know that if I find it, he will be very happy."

After the story was finished, Lawrence took the tissue from his son and wiped his eyes: "Is it boring, listening to old stories like this from me."

Xiao Yuzai and Qianqian shook their heads together.

They could all feel the sincere emotion between Lawrence and her husband, and were moved by such emotion.

"Okay, let's open clams happily together! Let me tell you, when I was young, I especially liked to open clams. Every time I saw these big black guys can open beautiful pearls, I would be amazed." Very happy, like winning a lottery.”

Xiao Yuzai reached out and took La Qianqian's hand, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

They walked to the table together, took the knife that Lawrence handed over, and started opening clams with her.

It took about an hour to open the mussels, and everyone was talking and laughing, very happy.

Although only three pearls were in good condition, it did not affect everyone's good mood.

"Lawrence, what do you do with the clam shell and clam meat?"

Lawrence: "Clam shells will be recycled by special handicraft factories. The clam meat will be taken out and used as fertilizer or feed."

Xiao Yuzai found that the method of processing mussel shells here is the same as that of their farm.No matter at home or abroad, the handicraft market is becoming more and more prosperous now.

After the place was cleaned up, they followed Charlie and Lawrence to the staff cafeteria for a working meal.

In the afternoon, Charlie took them to visit the opposite factory.

There, Xiao Yuzai saw the clam seedling cultivation room and various nuclear implantation techniques written in the book.

The two of them stayed in this factory all afternoon.

Charlie showed them all the places that outsiders could see.Of course, where the core technology is involved, the two of them will not be seen, but the basic operations are not in the way.

Xiao Yuzai even personally implanted a circular nucleus in a sea mussel.Then, under the guidance of the technical staff, help the sea mussels to be sterilized and closed.

After eating the second working meal, he and Qianqian got into the taxi that Charlie called for them and went straight back to the dormitory.

Along the way, Xiao Yuzai excitedly told Qianqian what happened today.

Although Qianqian also followed him, but now he heard Xiao Yuzai say it again, he could feel his excitement.

It seems that Xiao Yuzai really likes this kind of work.

In fact, while Xiao Yuzai was talking about what happened today, he was sorting it out in his mind.He found such pearl farming interesting.Moreover, if you do it yourself, many things may need to be changed.

The two talked and laughed, and when they returned to the dormitory, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

Teacher Hu and Teacher Lin are sitting on the first floor, waiting for the students who have not returned.

"Where are you going today? Why did it take you so long to come back? You didn't pick up your phone calls." The two teachers, who usually don't discipline them too much, looked worried.

"Teacher, our mobile phone is out of battery. I'm sorry to make you worry." Xiao Yuzai and Qianqian immediately apologized to the teacher.

The teacher was so worried about them, did something happen?

"It's good that you are safe, I have something to discuss with you today."

The author has something to say: update it!Thank you for your support!
