The Reborn Wife is Farming

Chapter 950 Lack of Money

The little bear took the stone from the old man's hand and scratched the shell of another clam, but the clam didn't respond at all.

The old man took it, held his hand, changed the direction and gently scratched twice, the clamshell slowly opened...

It is not difficult to open the clam shells. All fishermen's children in Hepu can do it, because they have been fishing for pearls for generations, and they have learned this ability since they can swim.

They used to kill clams to get pearls like other places, but later on, too many clams died, and there may not be one pearl in a thousand clams. In the Tang Dynasty, folk pearl fishing was prohibited. They could not bring clams to the shore to fetch pearls, but could only fetch pearls in boats or in the water.

Even on a boat, you can open the mussels. In the water, it is difficult for people to breathe, and they have to bear the pressure of the water. How dare they use so much strength?

Therefore, the method of opening clam shells has gradually been perfected. This is a method that ancestors worked hard to find out. Fishermen and fishermen do not hide their secrets. All fishermen and children in Hepu know it.

But it is limited to that area, they are very cautious to the outside world, and do not spread it to the outside world.

But only adults will think about these issues, while children think it is as normal as eating and drinking water. They don't know how to open the clam shells, so they look at the little masters in surprise?

Little Xiong didn't notice their thoughts. After studying for a while, he found that he still couldn't open the clamshell, so he didn't worry about it anymore. He calculated in his mind that there were twenty-four people in the three families, and they all knew how to do it. If it's that simple, it won't be difficult to plant seeds, and it doesn't matter whether they know it or not.

Little Xiong discussed with his three younger brothers, "We asked people to separate a space from the sea field, and let them plant seeds, and put the sowed ones in that space. They only need to scratch to open the clam shells. It should be very fast, within four or five days."

As long as the sea mussels can be planted, the rest is to ensure that they have enough food.

Xiaoan volunteered: "My cousins ​​and I went to find round gravel."

Bear nodded.

Everyone worked together, and the four took out the lucky money they received during the New Year, and asked the fishermen to help separate the space, and asked them to help pick up the sea mussels. The three of them just had to sit on the beach and scrape open the shells, and put the gravel in. That's fine, someone will throw back the prepared sea mussels.

And Xiaoan used copper coins to invite a group of children to help collect suitable gravel. As for what kind of gravel is more suitable, it is a matter of opinion.

For example, the tiger head thinks that the round and large gravel is the best, so the pearls will be big and round, but the little lion thinks that the round and smaller gravel is better, so that the sea oyster can grind the pearls out faster.

The two children only looked for their favorites, while Xiaoan looked for all kinds. He remembered a key point when he heard the fourth aunt say that pearls are secreted by sea oysters when they are stimulated by foreign objects. It is made of foreign matter by continuous grinding, so the ones Xiao An finds are slightly angular. He thinks that the sea oysters will secrete more nacre.

But the gravel chosen by the three children all have one characteristic, that is, they are larger than most of the sand on the beach.

The speed was much faster than Little Xiong expected. It took them only three days to fill all the sea mussels. At the last net, the four children decided to do an experiment. They stuffed a lot of sea mussels. Small gravel, some stuffed a big and round one, some had a sharp and big one, and some stuffed other messy things in it. Hutou even broke the shell he found and chose a plug Into the mouth of sea clams, in short, there are all kinds of messy things.

Then this net of sea mussels was woven into a small space with special care, and they were placed in it alone. Xiao Xiong asked them to pay more attention to the sea mussels inside. This net is equivalent to their "experimental field"

Sea mussels are creatures that are easy to survive. As long as the sea is not polluted and there is enough food, they can live well. Therefore, no sea mussels died within five days after the seeds were planted.

The four children were very happy, and the third child went to play with confidence. They have recently become obsessed with making music boxes, and they plan to figure it out by themselves. Heizi and the others are already on the way, and they may arrive in a few days. They decided to try it out by themselves first. , If you make it, you can show it off to your friends.

And Xiaoxiong was busy soliciting sponsors. He calculated the cost of making the sound box. It was not high, but not low. Except for the school, most of the rest of his money was invested in the sea field. I have to spend it myself, so I have no money.

And Haichang is still spending money.

Xiaoxiong first found his parents and explained to them the future development direction and bright future of Haichang. They will never regret investing in shares at this time.

Qi Haoran finally gave Xiaoxiong twenty taels of silver, not as a share, but as a kind of father's support for his son's career.

Little Bear was very happy. This was the first sponsorship he received. He told his father that when the lobsters and crabs in his sea farm grew up, he would give his father a table of seafood for free.

And Mu Yangling gave Xiaoxiong a hundred taels, and also said that it was not a shareholding, "The sea field was tossed by you children. I am not easy to buy shares as an adult, but this hundred taels is not for you. It is a loan. your."

Little Xiong's originally happy face froze, and he lowered his head and asked, "Mom, how much do we owe you?"

"Oh, you are a bit miserable, and even this time you owe me one hundred and sixty-eight taels. Tiger Head and Little Lion saved a lot when they were young, so they don't owe much for now, but they don't have much savings left with me. Xiao An is a little better than you, he owes me twenty-nine taels, but his father is very rich." Mu Yangling gave his son a "you understand" look.

Little Xiong was shocked, "Xiao An paid back one hundred and twenty-one taels for Chinese New Year?"

He did know that Xiao An owed one hundred and fifty taels of silver before, which was more than his own. How could he have paid so much in just a year?

Mu Yangling sighed and said, "Xiao An's lucky money is too much, and he will pay back most of it at once. He said that he will pay it off when the music box is made."

Little Xiong became nervous, isn't he the only one in debt again?

Thinking of the profit of the sound box, Xiaoxiong immediately went back and wrote to Xiaobao, inviting him to join the group. If they could make the sound box, each of them could earn ten times the profit. This is a huge income. Of course, they Funding is a bit difficult right now.

While reading the letter, Xiao Bao went to see his second, third, and fourth brothers who were sitting on the carpet and playing. He slowly put away the letter, ordered the maids and eunuchs serving in the palace to step down, squatted in front of the three younger brothers, and took Unscrewing the music box he received during the Chinese New Year, a burst of music sounded, and the eyes of the three children were all attracted.

Xiao Bao showed an angelic smile and bewitched them: "Brother, do you like this toy?"

The second prince nodded repeatedly, and the one-year-old third and fourth princes stretched out their hands to grab him. Xiao Bao hurriedly stepped aside and smiled at the three younger brothers: "Then elder brother can use this to borrow some money from you? Wait a while, I'll give each of you a prettier sound box."
