Feng Jialing quickly said, "Such a good thing, it would be nice to keep it as a family heirloom."
"Okay, then we'll keep it for now."
Ah-chan didn't really want to sell; he just wanted to know its specific value.
As Feng Ye said, he is not short of money now.
Even if we're short of money, we can't sell something so unique.
He still has quite a few large yellow croakers hidden at home; if he's going to sell any, he'll sell the large yellow croakers first.
"Quickly put it away, don't let it fall."
As Feng Jialing reminded him, he took a handkerchief out of his pocket and handed it over, saying, "Wrap it up with this handkerchief."
"Um."
Ah-chan took the handkerchief, wrapped the pearls up, and then stuffed them into his pocket.
"Ah Ye, do you think those three snails might also yield pearls?"
Feng Jiaqing suddenly asked, as he knew the allocation plan for the four triton shells.
"They haven't even been opened yet, who knows?"
"If only two more were to be found, one for you and one for Ah-Xuan, then you'd both have one."
Feng Jiaqing's face was full of anticipation.
Feng Jialing also said, "Yes, it would be best to have two more, otherwise it would be embarrassing to take just one from Ah Can."
"Brother Ye, if you don't manage to open it, I'll sell the pearl and share the money with you."
Ah-Can thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said.
Feng Ye said with a half-smile, "You're willing to do that?"
"I'm reluctant to part with it, but I can't take advantage of this."
Ah-Can said with a pained expression.
"Don't overthink it. You're lucky you managed to get it. Just take it."
Feng Ye waved his hand and said magnanimously.
"Hehe, then I won't be polite."
"You'd better be careful not to let anyone know you have such a treasure, or you'll be in trouble," Feng Ye warned.
“Ah Ye is right. It’s enough for us insiders to know. We can’t let outsiders know.”
"It's not the theft itself that's scary, it's the thief's eye on it. It's best to keep good things hidden."
Feng Jialing and Feng Jiaqing both echoed this sentiment, each adding their own comment.
"Don't worry, I'll be careful and make sure no one can find me."
...
Throughout the afternoon, Feng Ye and A Can went into the water twice more, each time bringing back forty to fifty kilograms of sea urchins.
Feng Jiaqing and Feng Jialing only went into the water once before Feng Ye stopped letting them go in again.
He and Ah Chan are young, in great health, and can still handle it.
But they are getting older and their physical condition is declining, so it's better for them to dive less.
Excessive diving can easily lead to various decompression sicknesses, such as decompression sickness, nitrogen narcosis, and benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).
He only dives occasionally; he doesn't rely on it as his sole means of making a living.
Since acquiring diving equipment, he hasn't gone diving very often.
Moreover, he knew exactly what to do, and after each dive back on the boat, he would rest for a sufficient amount of time before going into the water again.
In this way, you can't actually go diving many times a day.
Just like today, after four trips, it's already 3 PM, and it's about time to head back.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the days get shorter and the nights get dark earlier.
Today they were the first to return again, and seeing more than ten baskets of sea urchins being unloaded from the boat caused another commotion.
The harvest was excellent; a total of 621 jin (360 catties) of various sizes were weighed, earning 1780 yuan.
As usual, Feng Ye gave his father and Feng Jialing 50 yuan each as a reward for their hard work.
When they arrived at the workshop, he gave Du Guilan her share of the money, and also let her choose a Tang Guan snail, explaining to her how precious it was.
As expected, Du Guilan also picked according to size, taking the only remaining larger one.
Then, he couldn't wait to take Ye Qingling home to open the snail shell.
It can actually be opened in a workshop; a stove has been built, and there are pots and fuel.
But with so many people talking, if it really gets open, wouldn't the whole village know?
Although the fishing boats haven't returned yet, the people who hired fish cleaners have arrived early to wait, and there are also construction workers nearby.
Du Guilan also took her conch shell home with her.
Boil water and start cooking.
Since there's one big and two small ones, it's easy to tell them apart, so I just cooked them all in one pot.
When they were almost cooked, Feng Ye took all three out of the water.
He skillfully picked out the meat from his two triton snails, but when he squeezed them, there was nothing inside.
"I'm out of luck, this one isn't available. Here's another one you can try."
He shrugged in disappointment and handed the other one to Ye Qingling.
"good."
Ye Qingling's luck seemed to be even better; she actually managed to get a pearl.
It's a bit small, only about 10 millimeters in diameter.
The flame pattern wasn't very obvious, and the color was pale yellow to white, much worse than Ah Chan's.
But regardless, this is still a conch shell pearl, so it won't be cheap.
Feng Ye and Ye Qingling were overjoyed, their mouths practically stretched to the back of their heads as they smiled.
