Chapter 216 Stones and Cell Phones
Jiang Wanwan put the opened melon seeds on the cashier counter for everyone to take.
She also peeled two melon seeds to eat, which was also a demonstration for everyone.
Eating melon seeds requires skills, although sunflower seeds are easier to peel than other melon seeds.
But the mermaids who just came into contact with it still felt a bit flustered.
Fortunately, foodies often learn without a teacher in front of delicious food.
After trying it, Ruoshui quickly found the trick to peel melon seeds and shared it with the tribe members.
Seeing that the mermaids were getting better at eating melon seeds, Jiang Wanwan came to deal with the apples in her hand.
She picked up the kitchen knife and started cutting pieces and removing the cores, while introducing it.
"This is called an apple. It is a kind of fruit. It is crisp, sweet and sour, and has plenty of water. One costs 50 star coins. You can eat it with or without peeling the skin, but the core inside is definitely not edible."
The apple was evenly cut into small pieces that were just right for the mouth, but unfortunately there were no forks or toothpicks, so it could only be eaten with the hands.
Fortunately, the guests on the seabed didn't understand these things, so naturally no one complained.
At this moment, the mermaids had just mastered the trick of peeling melon seeds, and
they were peeling and eating one by one! To be honest, they didn't really want to stop, and they hadn't even finished eating the melon seeds in their hands!
But everything here is delicious, and this apple must be good.
What should I do with the knot?
Finally, Ruoshui couldn't resist her curiosity and stopped peeling melon seeds. She picked up an apple and put it in her mouth.
With a light bite, the apple burst with juice in her mouth, and the sour and sweet juice spread in her mouth.
The mouth, which was originally a little dry because of eating melon seeds, was immediately injected with a sour and sweet spring.
"Well, this is delicious too!" Ruoshui nodded repeatedly, chewing and speaking vaguely.
With Ruoshui's example, other mermaids also took action.
In short, this new product introduction and tasting event was very successful.
The mermaids were all smiling while eating and couldn't put it down.
After all the apples on the chopping board were eaten, Jiang Wanwan finally spoke in summary.
"The new products I brought this time are these six kinds. Everyone has tasted them. If you like any of them, you can come to me to place an order."
As for the first three kinds of goods, they must have been spread among the mermaids, so there is no need to introduce them specifically.
Hearing this, Ruoshui was the first to respond, shouting loudly: "I, I'll go first!"
As he said, he twisted his big tail and moved to the star coin exchanger.
"In order to buy things, my mother asked me to bring three pieces of mermaid silk."
Ruoshui said proudly, holding up the mermaid silk in her hand.
The mermaid silk is about one meter wide and rolled up like a piece of cloth. It looks radiant and colorful, yet thin and breathable.
The mermaids standing around were eating melon seeds while curiously watching the transaction process.
Upon hearing this, they started to communicate.
"I wonder how many star coins can be exchanged for one piece of mermaid silk?"
"I still have a few pieces of mermaid silk at home! I'll exchange them for delicious food when I have time."
"Hey, I don't have many mermaid pearls, and I haven't woven mermaid silk in the past two years. What else can I exchange for money?"
...
Ruoshui immediately grasped the key point and turned her head to answer.
"In addition to mermaid pearls and mermaid silk, fish in the sea can also be exchanged for star coins. A fish as big as mine can be exchanged for more than ten star coins!"
"Catching fish? This is my specialty! We'll get started later."
"Catching fish is such a simple thing, who among us is not good at it? Why are you so excited?"
Jiang Wanwan interrupted the two mermaids before they started arguing.
"In fact, in addition to sea fish, there are some things that can be exchanged for star coins, and they are easy to get."
"What are they?" Without waiting for others to react, Ruoshui asked what everyone was thinking.
"Some stones on the seabed!" Jiang Wanwan gave a general answer.
"Ah?" The mermaids looked at each other.
What's the use of stones? Aren't the stones on the seabed also stones?
If you carry a lot of them, you can only exchange them for a few star coins. It's better to go catch fish!
Jiang Wanwan naturally knew the doubts of these mermaids, and quickly took out her mobile phone.
"It's not ordinary stones, but some specific minerals."
After saying that, she found a video from her mobile phone and played it for these mermaids.
The content of the video is about polymetallic nodules and the collection environment of cobalt-rich manganese nodules.
This was specially sent to Jiang Wanwan by the country yesterday.
It is to let the mermaids know better where to find these minerals.
Yes, the country plans to focus on these two types of minerals. As for other minerals, although they are also important, they are not suitable for mermaids to collect.
The video in the mobile phone started to play, but the mermaids' first attention was on the mobile phone itself.
"What is this?"
"It's amazing, there are people talking inside, and the picture is moving.
" "Is this a voice transmission?"
...
Ruoshui couldn't help asking, "What is this? It's amazing, can you sell it to me?"
These reactions were expected. Jiang Wanwan paused the video and explained.
"This is a machine that saves pictures, but I'm sorry, this kind of machine cannot be put on the shelf for sale to you."
Mobile phones are not so easy to sell, especially in ancient times.
Let's not talk about how ridiculous the price tag would be.
Just a mobile phone is not fun. At least it needs to be equipped with electricity, network, and even various content.
Think about how many places this will take up. It's really a loss-making deal. We can't do it!
Hearing that they couldn't sell it to them, the faces of the mermaids suddenly looked a little disappointed.
After all, this machine looks so magical, it must be fun.
Fortunately, most of the mermaids are very carefree, and they will get over the disappointment.
Jiang Wanwan then opened the video again and played it for them.
After withdrawing their attention from the mobile phone, the mermaids finally noticed the content played in the video.
"What's in here seems to be from the ocean?"
"Ah, such an ugly stone, can it really be exchanged for star coins?"
"I seem to have seen this kind of stone before. There is a lot of it on the bottom of the sea. It's really annoying, so I never went there again."
...
After the video was played, the mermaids had a specific understanding of the stone that Jiang Wanwan wanted.
Ruoshui confirmed again: "Are you sure this thing can really be exchanged for star coins?"
"Of course it can be exchanged, but to know how much it can be exchanged for, you need to see the real thing!" Jiang Wanwan replied.
"Okay! After I buy things, I will go find one to try, and tell you when there is a result!" Ruoshui agreed.
Anyway, you can just pick up stones at the bottom of the sea, and they are not big, so it will just take some time.
