Chapter 179 Unlucky Tian Caihua

Because it was a meal for two families to eat together.

Except for the four brothers Guangzongyaozu who ran away without a trace after putting down their bowls after dinner and disappeared somewhere to play, Zhou Chengxin and Tian Caihua were still there.

Tian Caihua had just finished washing the dishes and was surprised when she heard what Zhou's father said, "What do you mean by opening pearls?"

Picked up another pearl shell? Zhou Chengxin glared at her and said, "Do you want to go to the radio station and tell us about it?"

Tian Caihua quickly covered her mouth.

Mother Zhou: "Xiao Xia found pearl shells on the seabed again today. We picked up some and A Xin also picked up a bag. Don't shout outside."

Tian Caihua nodded quickly, she was not stupid!

She was just too happy just now and didn't control the volume for a moment.

Pearls! Her family also picked up pearls, so can they buy a big ship?

Father Zhou said nothing and ran to find tools.

Jiang Xia didn't even look at Tian Caihua, and said to Zhou's father: "Dad, find some wood, I will cut a few small pieces of wood first."

Zhou's father was confused: "Why are you cutting wood?"

Jiang Xia: "Let's not pry open all the pearls this time. Let's try to get the pearls out without killing the pearl oysters. Then we can try to put these pearl oysters back into the sea to see if we can keep them alive."

The lifespan of a pearl oyster can be as long as thirty years, during which time it can continue to form pearls.

Tian Caihua almost rolled her eyes when she heard this. If it weren't for Zhou Chengxin's cold look, she would have rolled her eyes! Taking out the pearls would damage the flesh of the pearl oyster. If the flesh is cut off, can the pearl oyster still survive? And how can you know if there is a pearl inside without prying it open? How to take the pearl out? Zhou Chengxin asked, "How do you do it?"

Jiang Xia: "First cut a few small pieces of wood, and I will teach you later."

Father Zhou ran to the kitchen and got a kitchen knife, a hatchet, some wood, and a chopping board and ran out: "How do you cut it?"

Jiang Xia took a kitchen knife and a piece of wood, then she split the wood into a small rectangle and sharpened one end at an angle. It didn't need to be too sharp, because the wood would be stuck in the middle of the pearl oyster, so sharpening it a little would make it easier to insert.

By holding it in this way, a small crack will appear in the pearl oyster, and then the pearl can be carefully taken out from the crack.

If the wound on the pearl oyster is not too big when the pearl is taken out, the pearl oyster can still survive.

After all, it is a living thing and has the ability to heal itself.

Jiang Xia carved a piece of wood, and Zhou's father and Zhou Chengxin almost immediately followed suit and carved the remaining two pieces.

They are used to doing carpentry work.

Then Jiang Xia took a small knife, carefully pried open a hole in the pearl, and stuffed the shaved wood into the pearl shell to lock it in place.

"Mom, do we have new chopsticks and bamboo sticks at home?"

"Yes! I'll get it out." After the family split up, Zhou's mother went to the market in town when she had time and bought some new bowls and chopsticks.

Zhou's mother found some new bamboo chopsticks and bamboo sticks. Jiang Xia washed them, scalded them with boiling water to disinfect them, and then used the round end of the chopsticks to gently press the pearl meat inside, and soon pressed down on the round hard object.

Without tweezers or other tools, Jiang Xia could only use a bamboo stick to carefully pick open the flesh of the pearl oyster and take out the pearl. During the whole process, he needed to try to make the wound on the pearl smaller and neater, and not to make the wound torn.

The whole process took more than ten minutes and was not completed yet. Tian Caihua was getting anxious watching it! But when Jiang Xia picked out a golden pearl, she couldn't help but envy: "This pearl is so beautiful! It looks like a golden pearl!"

Jiang Xia took a look and found it to be really good, 8mm in diameter, with good color, and no flaws that outweighed its merits.

Jiang Xia placed the pearl in the bowl in front of him and said to Zhou's father, Zhou's mother and Zhou Chengxin, "That's probably how you open it. Try to make the pearl's wound small and neat to facilitate healing."

Tian Caihua immediately picked up a pearl oyster from her bag of pearls: "Let me try it too!"

Zhou Chengxin reminded: "Be careful, don't kill Zhenzhu."

"I know!" Tian Caihua said unhappily.

Although she thought it was impossible to support him, what if she could? Wouldn't she regret it to death? Tian Caihua would still be careful about everything related to money.

Father Zhou: "Xiao Xia, bring two pearl shells to me and your mother."

Jiang Xia took two and gave them to them.

Father Zhou began to open the pearl with great anticipation. His movements were very careful, and he kept repeating to himself: "Big, round, and perfect! Big, round, and perfect..."

Tian Caihua also carefully pried open a hole in the pearl oyster, and then imitated Jiang Xia to look for pearls! She carefully picked up chopsticks and fiddled with it for a long time, but she didn't feel any pearls.

She couldn't help but give Zhou Chengxin: "You try it."

Zhou Chengxin took it, carefully looked around and confirmed: "There is no pearl."

Tian Caihua: “…”

Why is she so unlucky?

Father Zhou had already discovered the pearls and looked at their pearl oysters: "You still don't have any at this age?"

Zhou Chengxin shook his head, "No."

Tian Caihua didn't believe it: "I'll try another one."

Father Zhou: “…”

Doesn't she have any self-awareness that she is suffering from such misfortune by squandering her wealth?

Do you still dare to open it?

As a result, Tian Caihua was really unlucky. She didn't find any pearls this time! But Zhou's father and mother found pearls again!

The size is not small, about 5mm and 6mm, the color is good, and there are few flaws.

Jiangxia even produced a large white pearl measuring 9 mm.

8mm saltwater pearls are rare, and 9mm and above are even rarer.

Jiangxia's pearls are getting bigger and bigger. Tian Caihua is extremely envious. Is it true that her luck is not as good as Jiangxia's?

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

She didn't believe it and continued driving!

No! She wanted to cry! Zhou Chengxin was also afraid of her and said directly: "You'd better not touch it!"

I opened so many and didn’t get one. It’s really my bad luck!

Father Zhou: "Yes, Ah Hua, please stop opening the door! You have such bad luck, you don't have any fortune! Don't waste these pearl shells!"

Tian Caihua was unhappy when she heard this. She refused to admit that she had bad luck with money and could not help but said, "If I have it, I have it. If I don't have it, I don't have it. What does it have to do with my luck?"

She couldn't help but ask Zhou Chengxin, "Why do you only pick up the ones without pearls?"

Zhou Chengxin didn't bother to pay attention to her, so he picked one up and opened it, and then he found the pearl! Tian Caihua shut up!

But it turned out to be only about 4mm, the smallest one at present, and also has the most defects.

But Tian Caihua was also happy, because it had finally blossomed. She quickly picked up another one and handed it to Zhou Chengxin: "Keep going! Keep going! You're still lucky!"

Zhou Chengxin couldn't help it: "Can you please stop touching me?"

Tian Caihua: “…”

"I just handed it to you. I didn't open it! You can't even touch it?"

"Nothing you touch is good!"

Tian Caihua felt really wronged: "You made me sound like a plague god!"

Zhou Chengxin didn't say anything and agreed!

Tian Caihua was furious: "Then you open it and see if there is one! I may have found one before, and this time I can find a big one!"

In the end, there was no answer! Tian Caihua: “!!!”

Zhou Chengxin took a pearl oyster and opened it himself, and found another one. It was white, with a good luster, a few flaws, about 6mm, and larger than the previous one.

Father Zhou took a look and asked, "How is it?"

Zhou Chengxin smiled and said, "Not bad! No flaws. The pearls from these pearl oysters are of high quality."

Tian Caihua was also happy, the pearl was getting bigger and bigger! She was so happy that she picked up another pearl shell and handed it to Zhou Chengxin.

Zhou Chengxin: "...You drive it yourself!"

No need to open it, you know it's gone! He was too lazy to do it himself, so he took another one.

Tian Caihua: “…”

Let her drive!

She couldn't believe she was so unlucky that she couldn't get a single pearl! And in the end, there was none!!! How could she really be so unlucky?

But why is Jiang Xia so lucky?

She couldn't help but look at Jiang Xia, and then her eyes widened! Tian Caihua's expression was like a soldier on the battlefield who died with his eyes open after being pierced by thousands of arrows.

She really felt that her heart was hurt a thousand times!

What kind of luck is this for Jiang Xia?
