The one in Ye Qingling's hand was pink and had faint flame patterns.
Although it is not perfectly round, it is very close, and its eccentricity is very close to 1.
It's about the size of a peanut.
Ye Qingling looked at the conch bead in her hand, her eyes gleaming with disbelief.
"It's so beautiful, it's comparable to that Melo Pearl, just not as big."
Her voice was full of surprise.
Feng Ye said approvingly, "Ah Ling, you're really lucky. You've found such a fine conch pearl."
"hey-hey……"
Ye Qingling grinned foolishly.
Feng Ye smiled and said, "If I find any conches that can produce pearls in the future, I won't sell them. I'll keep them all for you to open and make pearls."
"Isn't that a bad idea? Isn't it too wasteful? Didn't you say the probability was very low? I can't expect to get a pearl every time."
"You should think of it this way: no matter how many conches you waste, as long as you open one of good quality, you'll make a fortune."
"Besides, snail meat isn't inedible, so what's the waste? It's just a matter of selling it for a few dollars less."
"That's true."
Looking at the pearl in her hand, and then thinking about that top-quality Melo pearl, Ye Qingling felt incredibly happy.
Feng Ye reminded him, "Quickly wash it and put it away, don't let anyone find out, this thing is too rare and valuable."
Conch pearls are among the world's ten rarest pearls.
Of course, the conch pearls mentioned here generally refer to the pearls produced by the Queen Conch.
However, pearls produced by conch shells are quite rare and therefore command equally high prices.
Once word gets out about something of this high value, someone might covet it, which could cause unnecessary trouble.
It's better to keep it hidden and admire it secretly.
"Um."
Ye Qingling nodded, carefully washed the conch pearl, and then gently wiped it clean with a soft cloth.
She held it in her palm for a while, admiring it, before saying, "I'll go put it with Melo Pearls."
"The snail shells have been cleaned and put together; they're valuable too."
"You don't need to tell me. Such a beautiful shell, even if it's not worth much, I'll still keep it carefully."
"Alright, I'm going to find Ah-Can to go out to sea."
After Feng Ye finished speaking, he turned and took two steps, then turned back and said, "We can't eat all the goods in the snakeskin bag at home. Pick some out," and said, "Take the valuables to Uncle Fa's shop to sell."
"Okay, I know, enough with the nagging..."
...
Feng Ye had planned to go to A-Can's house to call him, but unexpectedly, he saw A-Can right in front of him when he reached the fork in the road leading to his house.
"Haha, Ye-ge, we really have great chemistry," A-Can said with a laugh. "I was just about to look for you when we bumped into each other."
"It's quite a coincidence," Feng Ye replied with a smile. "How much did you sell that sesame-spotted hair for?"
"Hehe, three jin and two liang, that's 35 yuan in total."
"That's pretty good, I got 35 yuan for free."
"That's right."
Are my mother and the others still drying fish at your house?
"It's almost all dried in the sun. My yard and my uncle's yard are both full of it..."
The two talked as they walked towards the dock empty-handed.
Containers like baskets had already been moved onto the ship during the early morning trip.
As luck would have it, the loudspeaker set up on the dock started blaring as soon as we arrived.
They say a typhoon is coming, so we need to quickly prepare for it. Fishing boats that need to go ashore should go ashore, and those that need to go to the harbor should go to the harbor...
Everyone had already guessed that the typhoon was coming, and preparations were underway.
This notice is simply to make everyone more certain.
Once on the boat, Ah-Can was still at the helm, while Feng-Ye watched from the side.
The sea is merciless, so it's best to keep an eye on it; he can take over at any time.
One wave after another rolled in, relentlessly crashing against the Rising Sun.
It's still within a tolerable range; it won't hit the deck, but it's quite shaky, so you have to be extra careful.
They didn't see many ships operating along the way; most were heading towards safe harbors.
Even fishing boats that were supposed to go out to collect their nets had already left long ago and wouldn't have waited until now; some had even already returned to safe harbors.
Come to think of it, they're really crazy; they're thinking of going out to do some fishing during a typhoon.
"Brother Ye, let's not go too far. Let's just stay near the coast. If things get weird, it'll be easier for us to make a run for it."
"It's alright, the typhoon is still a long way off, and the waves are just so-so, they won't get too big for now."
Feng Ye answered calmly.
Waves of this magnitude weren't enough to frighten him; he'd seen plenty of them in his past life.
Big fish are caught in big storms.
Many ships set sail to try their luck.
Ah-Can still said with some concern, "The weather at sea can change in an instant. A strong wind might pick up suddenly, so it's best to be careful."
"Don't worry, there's no danger. I'm not afraid, so why are you?"
Ah-Can rolled his eyes: "I'm not like you, you've got a wife and a son. I'm an only child, and I haven't gotten married or had any descendants yet, so I'd better take it easy."
"Young people need to be ambitious and not always timid and hesitant."
"But I can't really risk my life, I don't want to become fish food in the sea."
"You're usually so brave, why are you so timid today?"
"That's not called being timid, that's called being cautious."
"Being cautious is a good thing, but you're being a little too cautious. Alright, let's just stay near the coast, we won't go too far."
Feng Ye eventually compromised.
In fact, Ah-chan's concerns were not entirely unfounded.
