Qiao Xuejun's eyes widened slightly and she took the black pearl from Zhao Xian's hand.
She held up the beads and looked at them in the feeble daylight.
The pearl is not small, about the size of a quail egg, but very round. Its entire body is a dark blue-black like the night sky. Even under the not-so-strong sunlight, the pearlescent light on its surface still glows with colorful fantasy colors.
Eye-catching.
Very dazzling and beautiful.
Qiao Xuejun thought about the value of pearls and asked Zhao Xian, "Do you want me to grind them into powder for you? Pearl powder has certain anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects and can cure oral ulcers?"
Zhao Xian: “…”
He couldn't help laughing: "It's up to you. I hunted a giant clam before, and it's useless for me to keep this thing." He paused and asked, "Do you think it looks good?"
Shouldn’t it be necklaces, bracelets, and pendants?
Qiao Xuejun nodded: "It looks good!"
She looked at the sunlight again, and the pearly light was tiny and dazzling.
Zhao Xian lowered his eyes and looked at Qiao Xuejun.
She was looking at the pearl in the sunlight seriously. In this kind of weather, the sun could not come out, blocked by clouds, and the light was soft. The black pearl was reflected in her eyes, and even her eyes seemed to be shining.
The first time he saw the pearl, he was reminded of Qiao Xuejun’s bright black eyes.
Qiao Xuejun looked at Zhao Xian and reconfirmed: "Give it to me?"
Zhao Xian nodded: "Yeah."
Qiao Xuejun thought about it carefully.
The greatest value of this beautiful waste in the end times should be what she said, that if it is ground into powder, it can theoretically cure oral ulcers, but it seems to have no other effect.
It doesn't matter if he accepts it, Zhao Xian really has no use for it.
Qiao Xuejun put the pearl in her palm, squeezed it, and looked at Zhao Xian with happiness in her eyes: "Thank you, Lord."
Zhao Xian: "As a thank you. You helped me deal with Professor Huo."
Qiao Xuejun: "It should be."
Even when the surname Huo was mentioned, Qiao Xuejun's mood was not affected. The pearl was slightly cool and smooth in the palm of her hand, but it was soon heated by the temperature of her palm.
This was the first time Qiao Xuejun received such a gift, a beautiful thing.
Not to mention the end of the world, even in the past, when she had extra money, she had never spent money on such things.
To her, such things were too pretty and useless, with little practical value. Before she could earn her own money, she used the inheritance left by her parents, using every penny wisely, and every penny had to be put to good use, such as tuition, accommodation, exercise books, stationery... She didn't dare to spend money on useless things.
When she can earn her own money, her profession will no longer make it suitable for her to wear these things. She needs to go out, and any jewelry will make her movement more or less inconvenient.
Qiao Xuejun's teachers are all simple and unpretentious. They often work in the fields and rarely make these beautiful and colorful accessories.
But Qiao Xuejun likes it very much.
Zhao Xian: "I'm leaving."
"Wait a minute." Qiao Xuejun stopped him, "Wait for me, I have something for you."
Qiao Xuejun ran back into the house and came out after a while, holding two transparent plastic jars in her hands.
Zhao Xian took a look.
A red jar that looked like some kind of sauce.
The other jar is easier to recognize, it contains jerky.
"Lord, I ate your canned food while I was recovering from my injuries at your place. I can't repay you for the canned food. These are my gifts to you in return." She handed two plastic cans to Zhao Xian. "The red one is sour soup. You can add some water and cook cabbage to make it more flavorful."
"This jar contains dried rabbit meat with salt. You can take it with you when you go on a mission. It can help you replenish your energy while on the road. It's a little dry, though, so it's a little hard to chew."
They didn't put much salt in it, because it was dried, and the weather was good, so the shelf life was naturally long. They mainly put some peppercorns, and they still had a lot of spices in the warehouse.
Qiao Xuejun used the plastic jars for dehydrated vegetables at the time. The jar was small, about the height of a palm when standing upright, but it was a wide bucket with a capacity of 800ml.
The red sour soup was not full, but the rabbit jerky was barely full.
She had caught the rabbits with traps in the mountains, and they had multiplied a bit. But they were still wild rabbits, not meat rabbits, so the meat yield was not high.
It took two rabbits to produce this much meat.
She handed the two jars to Zhao Xian.
Zhao Xian has big hands, so the jar looks even smaller in his hands.
Zhao Xian looked at the two jars in his hand, raised his eyes to look at her, and confirmed: "Only for me?"
Qiao Xuejun nodded: "Yes, I only ate your canned food."
Of course, it’s only given to Zhao Xian.
Zhao Xian smiled: "Yes."
Canned or not, it's for him, and he's the only one who has it.
Qiao Xuejun whispered, "Take it back and try it. If you don't like it, I'll make you something else."
Zhao Xian nodded: "You can go back. It's cold and dangerous outside recently, so don't run around. If anything happens, contact me by radio."
Qiao Xuejun didn't agree, and looked down at Zhao Xian's shoes: "Have you guys helped me keep an eye out? Are there any more plants outside?"
The green powder at that time looked very much like a kind of moss spores she had seen before.
That kind of moss has a very strong water purification ability. If we find it, it may be able to help the First Base get clean water.
Now the water in the first base is also collected rainwater that is filtered and requires a lot of blue oil to be heated and distilled.
Zhao Xian seemed to be afraid that she would be disappointed, so he did not answer directly that he did not have any. Instead, he said, "I'm still looking for it. I'll tell you when I find it."
Qiao Xuejun was not disappointed.
In agricultural development, new varieties have always been found through untold hardships. In order to find suitable rice, Mr. Yuan used a magnifying glass to observe each plant in the wild rice fields.
