Chapter 259: Breeding is a great success
At first, Mrs. Su didn't take Jiang Tangtang's talk about pearl cultivation seriously. She thought her daughter-in-law was probably dreaming.
Put a round bead made from a river clam shell in it, and after raising it in the pearl oyster for one or two years, a real pearl will be formed.
How is this possible?
But watching his daughter-in-law busily planning a pearl farming base, recruiting talent, and personally leading a team to research how to implant round pearls into pearl oysters...
Thinking about what her daughter-in-law had done since her exile, she gradually changed from a firm disbelief to a little suspicion, and finally to trusting Jiang Tangtang.
Now, the day has finally come to collect pearl oysters and get pearls.
Su couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Whether it can succeed or not depends on this time.
Jiang Tangtang received a letter from Su and learned that the pearl oysters at the base needed to collect pearls, so she took time out to return to the treasure island.
This time when Jiang Tangtang went back, in addition to guards such as Yuan San, he also brought Lili and Haihai with him.
Under the nourishment of spiritual energy, Lili became more and more powerful. Haihai was now half a year old. Although he was not as powerful as his mother, he was still powerful enough to make ordinary people afraid.
When Jiang Tangtang and the two tigers appeared on the island, they immediately caused a sensation. When Lu Jingcheng and his siblings heard the news of Jiang Tangtang's return, they all ran to the dock excitedly.
Lu Tiantian, who used to pounce on Jiang Tangtang every time she saw her, was frightened by the tiger this time and did not dare to pounce on Jiang Tangtang.
She looked at Lili and Haihai with a look of fear and curiosity in her eyes.
"This is Xiao Tiantian..." Jiang Tangtang rubbed Lili's head and introduced him to Lu Jingcheng's brothers and sisters. "You can't scare them!"
Lili and Haihai both showed a docile look. Lu Tiantian and her siblings were shocked when they saw it, and asked in unison, "Mom, can it understand you?"
"Of course! Come over and say hello to him." Jiang Tangtang felt that Lili had the IQ of a seven or eight-year-old child, so she liked to talk to it.
The children came closer, but still didn't dare touch Lili. Compared to the tall and mighty Lili, they felt that little Haihai was easier to get close to.
Little Caspian Tiger was usually very aloof, and wouldn't even look at anyone except Jiang Tangtang. But knowing that they were his young masters, he was quite friendly towards the children.
Jiang Tangtang knew that the two tigers would not hurt them and that the two tigers could protect their safety, so she planned to let a few people play with the two tigers, but Lili was unwilling to leave Jiang Tangtang and insisted on staying with Jiang Tangtang.
Although Lili cannot speak, his animal senses are the most acute. Recently, there have been many malicious auras around Jiang Tangtang, which made him very alert and he was unwilling to leave Jiang Tangtang easily.
Jiang Tangtang didn't think much about it. She just thought that Lili had become clingy recently, so she took it to the pearl breeding base.
Jiang Tangtang set up a pearl breeding base on the island, and the fact that it specializes in pearl breeding is no secret on the island.
After all, the famous pearl diver Haisheng recruited a group of disciples on the island. These disciples often took river clams to practice how to open them without hurting them.
But Haisheng and his men worked hard on the island for two years, but no one had ever seen him mine pearls. The people on the island had all kinds of things to say about the famous breeding base on the island.
Some people say that it is impossible to grow pearls, while others think that this pearl farm was run by Jiang Tangtang, and if she said she could grow pearls, then she would definitely grow them.
After all, isn’t growing kelp at sea a success?
Hearing that the clams would be opened to get pearls today, many islanders gathered around, wanting to see if pearls could really be obtained.
Su was so nervous that her palms were sweating. "Tangtang, you've always had good luck. Pick one and open the clam."
All the pearl oysters in the sea have been fished out and are now kept in large tanks.
Because Jiang Tangtang said that after taking the pearls from these pearl oysters, small round beads can be put into them to continue breeding. The workers in the breeding farm are very caring towards these pearl oysters.
Jiang Tangtang did not refuse. She knew that Su was nervous and was afraid that after working hard for two years and spending a lot of effort, she would end up making a fool of herself and not being able to grow any pearls.
But with modern successful cases in the past, Jiang Tangtang knew that pearls could definitely be cultivated.
Just look at the quality.
Jiang Tangtang picked up a pearl oyster at random and handed it to Haisheng.
Haisheng is not only very experienced in pearl fishing, but also very skilled in opening clams.
Soon, everyone saw Haisheng take out a round pink pearl from the triangular clam that Jiang Tangtang handed over.
Pearls are rare nowadays, let alone pink ones.
The scene was silent for a second, and suddenly there was a thunderous cheer.
“A pearl has really been unearthed!”
"You are truly worthy of being my lady!"
"I told you, if Madam says we can grow pearls, then we can definitely grow pearls!"
…
There was a burst of admiration at the scene, and Su quietly loosened his clenched fists and told Haisheng to take his apprentice to open the remaining shells.
After taking out the pearls from these pearl oysters, they have to put in the small round beads prepared earlier, which is a great test of one's skills.
Although this was somewhat difficult to do, Haisheng had already practiced it with his disciples countless times, so it went very smoothly.
The pearl farm gradually released more than a thousand shells, some of which were triangular clams that had been kept in the space since the exile, and some were later found from various places.
The pearls produced by the triangular clams that Jiang Tangtang has cultivated for the longest time using spiritual springs in the space are the best.
Basically no need to polish, each one is round and bright.
In addition, several extremely large and high-quality pearls were also produced.
The most dazzling ones are the pink pearl picked out by Jiang Tangtang herself and another black pearl.
Su packed these exquisite pearls in individual boxes and gave them to Jiang Tangtang, saying, "Keep these pearls and make some jewelry of your choice."
She looked at Jiang Tangtang's clothes and said, "You are too plain. You don't even have an extra hairpin on your head."
She couldn't help but blame her son in her heart. He was like a piece of wood. He didn't even know to give some jewelry to please his daughter-in-law. What's the use of him?
"Mom, no need, let's auction it off!" Jiang Tangtang didn't carry any jewelry, mainly for convenience. After all, she often entered the space and picked fruits to eat when she had nothing to do. Too much jewelry would hinder her movements.
Su misunderstood. "That won't do! This is too unfair to you! Apart from anything else, you must keep these pearls. There are still quite a few left. I think they can fetch a lot of money if you sell them."
Every pearl oyster in the farm has produced a pearl, and there are about two hundred pearls that are naturally round and do not need to be polished.
There are about three or four hundred high-quality pearls that can be polished a little, and there are also some low-quality pearls with bad shapes.
Overall, the pearl farms have yielded a huge harvest. Even if all the pearl divers in the Great Zhou were to work together for their entire lives, they wouldn't be able to collect this many pearls.
Jiang Tangtang had seen modern pearl farms and was not very satisfied with the output.
Currently, pearl farms mainly rely on catching river clams for breeding, and do not have the technology to cultivate river clam seedlings themselves. If they can cultivate river clam seedlings themselves, the output should be higher.
