Chapter 211 This is the King!
After hearing this, Zhou Chenglei went into the kitchen with Jiang Xia.
Except for Zhou's father, no one in the yard cared when they heard Jiang Xia say that he wanted to eat conch meat.
Tian Caihua also picked up a conch today, but she sold it. Jiang Xia would eat it, and she knew he was willing to eat it.
Anyway, she was not as willing to eat as Jiang Xia.
Father Zhou glanced at the people who were killing fish seriously. He put down his butcher knife, picked up a fish, and stood up: "I'll get a fish for Xiao Xia."
No one cared about it. The fish was full of treasures and the fish meat could be sold for a good price, but with so many fish, it was normal to eat just one at home.
Zhou Chenglei was taking snail meat in the kitchen.
Jiang Xia saw Zhou's father coming in with fish and asked, "Dad, do you want to eat fish? How do you want to eat it?"
Father Zhou put the fish in the basin and whispered, "No, I just came here to take a look. I want to witness a moment of history!"
Jiang Xia: “…”
Where did Zhou's father's inexplicable confidence come from? At this time, Zhou Chenglei took out the snail meat.
Father Zhou hurriedly urged Jiang Xia: "Xiao Xia, go look for him! Look for him together!"
He doesn't trust anyone's hand, only Wangcai's fortune-making hand! Of course, he trusts the couple even more.
Zhou Chenglei gave the snail meat to Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia took it and looked for it carefully, and immediately touched a round, hard object.
She pinched it directly.
An orange-red bead with flame pattern was taken off by her!
Father Zhou took a look and smiled! As expected, there is stock!
Although this bead is a bit small, it is not as big as I imagined.
But the chance of this conch shell producing pearls is only one in several thousand!
People in their village have picked up this conch many times, but no one has ever found a pearl in it!
Only Wangcai has this luck! No matter how small a dragon ball is, it is still a dragon ball!
Father Zhou loves pearls with festive colors and nice names! Jiang Xia also felt that the pearl was a little small. Melo pearls can be very large. I heard that the largest Melo pearl can reach 200 carats. This one is probably only a dozen carats.
But it's already very lucky to be able to open it! Jiang Xia washed it in the water, then put it in her palm and looked at it carefully. The more she looked at it, the more excited she became. She whispered: "Zhou Chenglei, look at the pattern of this bead, what do you think it looks like?"
Zhou Chenglei's head moved closer.
After hearing this, Zhou's father couldn't help but lean over! The father and son looked at each other carefully for a while, and Jiang Xia asked again: "What do you think it looks like?"
Zhou's father couldn't see it, but he thought it was very beautiful.
This dragon ball is a little small, but the color is really beautiful!
The whole bead is crystal clear, lustrous and flawless.
Zhou Chenglei: "It looks a bit like a chrysanthemum."
It's only somewhat similar, but this resemblance is enough to elevate this bead to a higher level.
Jiang Xia smiled: "I think it looks a bit like a chrysanthemum, too."
Haha… this bead is a little small, with a diameter of only about 6mm, but the color is great! Its color is as orange-red as a ripe papaya, and its shape is perfectly round, round and transparent, with a luster as glittering as porcelain. The flame pattern inside is yellow, and it is beautifully distributed. At first glance, it looks a bit like a blooming yellow chrysanthemum.
This is really rare!
When Zhou's father heard this, he immediately asked, "How did you know that?"
The value of pearls with random patterns and those with patterns that resemble something is completely different!
Jiang Xia handed the bead to Zhou's father, whose eyes seemed to jump out and land on the Melo Pearl.
Father Zhou took it and fiddled with it in his palm: "Why does it look like a chrysanthemum?"
Jiang Xia stretched out a finger and rolled the bead in Zhou's father's palm: "Dad, looking at it this way, do you think the flame pattern at the bottom is like a blooming chrysanthemum holding up a bead?"
After Jiang Xia said this, Zhou's father felt that they looked alike! "Looks alike! Very alike! Extremely alike! Extremely alike!"
Even if you can't tell the difference, you have to say it looks similar!
This is how a bicycle can be transformed into a motorcycle! !
"This bead can be sold for thousands of dollars, right?"
Melo Pearls, also known as Dragon Pearls and Flame Pearls, are very rare and precious pearls.
Moreover, it cannot be cultivated artificially. If it were in modern times, this bead would be worth hundreds of thousands.
Jiang Xia had no idea how much this bead could be sold for in this era. After all, it was a little small, less than 8mm.
But one thousand dollars is definitely okay.
"Is it okay?" Jiang Xia continued to touch the snail meat casually to see if there were any fish that had escaped the net.
She was really just looking for it casually, and she didn't expect to find it again.
Moreover, it seems there is more than one!!
Moreover, it seemed to be a little bigger than the previous one? ! ! Jiang Xia quickly took it down.
Jiang Xia picked up a bead that was similar in color to the previous one, but half as big as the previous one, and put it in the bowl.

This one is estimated to be sixty carats!
It was a big one! Father Zhou's eyes widened: "There are actually two?"
He knew how Wangcai’s luck could be so bad!
"Not only that, there's one more!" Jiang Xia picked out another one.
The third one is even bigger, much bigger than the second one! The other two are like its babies! This one is huge, probably 150 carats! The colors of the three beads are similar, all orange-red.
The most expensive and beautiful color among Melo pearls!
A conch shell opened three dragon balls, and they were all perfectly round and flawless! Hahahaha... It's worthy of being called a lucky charm!
Father Zhou felt that a house in the town was secure! Jiang Xia looked carefully at the flame patterns on the remaining two pearls.
The flame pattern on the second pearl is not obvious and is very fragmented, so the whole bead looks like a night sky full of stars, mysterious and dazzling.
Sparkling! The flame pattern of the third pearl is almost invisible. If this pearl is like an orange sunset, then its flame pattern is a peony quietly blooming in the depths of the sun.
Very low-key,
Yet noble and extraordinary.
This is the king!
King of Pearls!
After looking at these three beads, Zhou's father felt that he had hope of buying a house in the market!
A conch shell, three flawless dragon balls, almost all the brothers and sisters! If they were auctioned together, their value would probably more than triple.
Jiang Xia was very happy. She gave the beads to Zhou Chenglei and said, "Hide the beads. I will cook."
I'm lucky today, so I have to make a delicious meal to celebrate.
Zhou Chenglei first took the three beads back into the house and hid them on the beam, then came out to cook with Jiang Xia.
After witnessing history, Zhou's father went out to kill fish!
There were still a pile of fish waiting to be killed and a pile of isinglass waiting to be processed in the yard.
Zhou Chenglei and Jiang Xia cooked dinner together, and Zhou Zhou helped to light the fire.
Pan-fried golden sturgeon fillets, steamed butter crab, chopped pepper fish head, stir-fried snail meat with pepper, and cold shredded kelp and green vegetables.
After the butter crab is steamed, as soon as you open the crab shell, you will see it full of butter. The golden butter will make you salivate.
The roe is sweet and fragrant, and the meat is tender and sweet! This is definitely the best crab I have ever eaten in Jiangxia.
The other dishes are also extremely delicious. The fish pieces are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the snail meat is refreshing and chewy, and the fish head is spicy and appetizing.
While eating crabs, Zhou Chenglei scraped the crab roe off with a spoon and handed it to Jiang Xia, saying, "Today, Xiao Xia and I bought a few shops and seafood stalls at the seafood market under construction in the city. I think the price is quite reasonable. Do you want to buy it, big brother?"
I saw three Melo pearls on the Internet, I don't know if it's true or not! It's Mid-Autumn Festival, in addition to mooncakes, you can also eat snails~ My dears, happy Mid-Autumn Festival~
