Chapter 1682 Butterfly Effect 4

The soldiers nearby pulled up the net, and everyone who were chatting hurried forward to help, except Feng Qingxue and the old squad leader.

The old squad leader said to Feng Qingxue, "Since he is an old comrade, you will most likely visit him after you return to the island. I tell you, Captain Du is a very good person, but his wife is not easy to get along with, so you should be careful."

A question flashed through Feng Qingxue's mind, "Why?"

The old squad leader waved his hand and said, "It's not good to gossip about people behind their backs. You'll learn about it later. Pick out some beautiful conches, and I won't fry them later."

There are many ways to cook conch, such as salad, stir-fry, etc.

In order not to damage the conch shell, you have to remove the conch meat by steaming or boiling it.

Feng Qingxue selected more than 20 conchs with beautiful patterns. The old squad leader placed them separately in a basin of fresh water, added some salt, let them spit out all the mud and sand, then steamed them in a steamer used for steaming rice for more than ten minutes, and took out the conch meat.

Feng Qingxue is currently free, so she helps out in the kitchen.

"Are you really giving it to me?" Feng Qingxue was holding three Melo beads. The largest one was very round, almost a perfect circle, with a diameter of about ten millimeters. The two smaller ones were a little smaller and oval in shape.

The old squad leader handed it to her casually and said, "Take it if you like it. Don't even mention exchanging it for something."

"What are Melo Pearls?" Not only the old squad leader was curious, but the two cooks were also curious.

Melo pearls are a particularly expensive variety of pearls. They are very expensive and extremely rare. They cannot be cultivated artificially, and the yield rate is only one in a few thousand. Feng Qingxue has never seen Melo pearls in her past or present life, but living in an information-rich age, she has naturally seen related introductions on the Internet. The orange-red Melo pearls in front of her are the most precious.

Feng Qingxue nodded, "Old squad leader, can you give me the pearls? I'll exchange them with what you need. My daughter likes these beads. When we were back home, I used to make a necklace out of grass beads for her to play with."

Feng Qingxue's eyes widened, "Old squad leader!"

The old squad leader laughed, "You like this thing?"

The bottle was half filled with pearls, some big, some small, some round, some irregular, some oval, and some egg-shaped. They were also colorful, with 50% white and the remaining 50% being black, gold, and pink.

"Hey! There are pearls in this conch!" As soon as the old squad leader finished speaking, three pearls, one large and two small, were cut out from the conch meat. They were all orange-red in color, shining with a warm and crystal-clear luster.

Feng Qingxue leaned over to take a look, her eyes lit up, "Melo Pearl!"

Feng Qingxue explained: "It's a kind of pearl. I heard about it from someone. Don't you think it's beautiful?"

The old squad leader took out a can from under the chopping board table and put it on the table, "Here!"

"This stuff can be exported." The old squad leader said, "When we work at sea, we sometimes come across pearls. We often collect them together and sell them to the trade department. Some fishermen do the same, and then export them. It took me several months to save up for this half bottle. It won't make much money if I sell it, but we are earning foreign exchange for the country, right? If you like it, pick some more and bring them to your daughter."

Feng Qingxue swallowed and said, "Old squad leader, I want to buy a batch of pearls. Can you help me?"

"Doctor Feng, what do you want to do? If your daughter likes it, just pick something nice and take it away. It's not good to buy it privately."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"I want to use it to make pearl powder. Pearl powder is a precious medicinal material." Feng Qingxue said seriously. She planned to collect the good pearls and use the irregular and defective ones to make pearl powder and pearl cream.
