Nian Adie made his living at sea. He had good eyesight. Looking at the kelp all over the ground, he excitedly slapped his thigh and said, "Mom, please pull the boat to the shore quickly. Let's go pick up kelp. We are so lucky today. Could Xiaoyan be the daughter of the sea?"
Miao Xiuying was also very happy, "Our Xiaoyan, that's God's gift, it's just a small scene, don't be excited!"
Nian A Niang swiftly steered the boat over and moored it near the reef. Several people hurriedly jumped in holding snakeskin bags.
Looking around, there is endless kelp under the reef, and the reef is covered with dense oysters and sea mussels.
The others were numb, so Jiang Yan spoke up: "We'll pick up the big ones and take them back. We'll discard the shells of the small ones, pry off the meat and put it in bags. We'll dry them when we get home, and we'll have something to eat in the winter!"
Lu Li was rubbing his hands, ready to do something big. "Sister-in-law, last time we opened the oysters, we opened pearls. Can we open them this time too?"
When Nian's father heard that she could open oysters to produce pearls, he gave her a thumbs up and said, "You have encountered such a one in ten thousand chance. You are really lucky. Let's get on with our work."
As soon as Lu Yang bent down, he heard Lu Li suddenly say, "These oysters can nourish men. They are said to be a gas station for men. Brother, eat more!"
Lu Yan was so shocked that he almost slipped. He steadied himself, turned around and glared at him fiercely.
"If you don't speak, no one will think you're dumb. How do you know I'm not good enough? I'm very good!"
As long as you are a man, you can't stand others saying that you are not good enough.
Seeing his angry look, Lu Li said innocently, "I'm just reminding you that this man is not good. It affects your marriage life. It's always good to eat more."
After listening to his nonsense, Lu Yan was also fooled. Yes, eat more, it will come in handy eventually.
Seeing that he had listened, Lu Li covered his mouth and laughed, "You are just stupid. If I don't fool you, who should I fool?"
He continued squatting and prying oysters. He heard that this could also improve beauty? He had to take good care of himself to beat the other rough guys.
Jiang Yan sat on the ground and started prying oysters with a pry. The first one... um... nothing. The second one... emm, nothing either. So she opened another one.
When it came to the third one, she hesitated. The younger sister next to her was sweating from the heat. She urged her, "Sister-in-law, don't hesitate. Cut it now. Wait until you get the oyster pearl. It's rare and very valuable."
This one in ten thousand chance will not fall on me, but Jiang Yan is different, she is the daughter of the sea.
Jiang Yan spread his hands: "I have no confidence in driving this car anymore. As expected, I won't be lucky all the time. I'll keep driving then."
She pried open the oyster, not holding out much hope at first. She pinched the soft flesh and was about to put it into her pocket when she touched something round and hard.
Well, wow, there are more than one. Her eyes lit up as she squeezed a plump, round pearl out of the oyster meat.
The porcelain-white pearl lies in the white palm, emitting a faint silver glow under the sunlight, so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it.
Miao Xiuying walked over in two or three steps, rubbed her hands, and asked Jiang Yan: "Xiao Yan, can you show it to me?"
It was her first time to see oysters produce pearls up close, it was really rare.
Jiang Yan gave her the pearl, and Miao Xiuying took it carefully. Jiang Yan continued to take out the second, third, fourth, and so on until the twelfth.
The expressions of the others were indescribable, some even looked a little numb.
Nian A Niang murmured, "Nian Lao, pinch me, am I dreaming? I have been on this beach for decades, and I have only found one or two pearls, and at most two. But Xiao Yan came here and found twelve. How can this be so lucky? No, I want to try some."
So she went over too.
After Nian Adie stretched his sore feet, his knowledge was also refreshed.
Ah, am I really not dreaming? Twelve pearls popped out of an oyster? They are all plump and rosy. This is too exquisite.
It's something I've never heard of or seen before.
Lu Yan and Lu Li had fiery eyes. They stopped cutting kelp and just started prying open the oysters, waiting to get the pearls!
Lu Yan was full of confidence: "I'll drive it too."
Lu Li refused to be outdone, "I want to drive too."
This pearl is more valuable than those hairtail fish. One is worth several dollars or dozens of dollars, and some can even be sold at a sky-high price of several thousand dollars. If you get a good one, wouldn’t you be rich?
What else are you fishing for? This is the real deal.
The other people's hands were almost leaving afterimages, Miao Xiuying returned the pearl to Jiang Yan and joined the main force.
She moved faster than the others, and she was determined to get the oyster pearl.
Jiang Yan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. How could an oyster be opened so easily?
She looked at the large conch washed up by the waves, and couldn't help thinking that it would be great if it had a hole in it or a Melo pearl, both of which are valuable and top-grade.
Seeing that she didn't continue to open the oysters, Ah Mei was even more anxious than she was: "Sister-in-law, you're not going to open them anymore? How about a few more? With your luck, you will definitely get better pearls."
Jiang Yan pried the conch open and said without looking up, "Conchs can also produce pearls, which are more precious than oyster pearls. Now that we have come here, we must return with a full load!"
She thought of something, put down the pry, clasped her hands together, and muttered: "Dragon Mother Goddess, bless me and let me get Kongke Pearl or Melo Pearl."
Several people acted in a very formal manner, praying for blessings from the Dragon Mother or Mazu, and the scene was very lively for a while.
Then, all you could hear was the sound of prying open the oysters.
Lu Li was a follower. When he saw Jiang Yan opening the conch, he remembered the top-quality pearls he had opened last time, and he also felt itchy.
While opening a conch with a prying tool, Lu Yan asked him, "You don't want to open oysters anymore? Can conches really produce good pearls?"
Lu Li rolled his eyes at him: "Conches are more valuable when opened, and they are also more rare. You can't even open oysters, let alone conches. Just focus on prying open your oysters and don't be distracted."
Jiang Yan made a hole at the tip of the conch to see if there were any pearls inside. If not, she would pry the snail meat out from the head and dry it at home to eat.
