Chapter 642 White Butterfly Shell
"But no matter how you use it, it's not as valuable as jewelry."
You Yuanlin asked, "So, is this pearl also a medicinal herb? If it were cultivated, the round ones could be made into jewelry and sold for money, while the oddly shaped ones could be used to make pearl powder and medicinal herbs."
Song Chuman nodded: "That's indeed the case."
Yang Qingrui asked, "Can the meat of pearl oysters be eaten?"
Song Chuman: "Of course you can, but if it's not handled properly, it might not taste good."
Song Chuhuai thought of the seafood farmed on his beach, his eyes shining as he said, "Sister, let's raise pearl oysters. Then we can have lots of pearls. We can sell the pearls and eat the meat. Nothing will be wasted."
The others nodded in agreement: "That's a good idea."
Song Chuman smiled and said, "That's exactly what I was thinking. There are many types of pearl oysters. The one we saw today is called the white butterfly oyster. There are many other marine products that can produce pearls."
"For example, mussels, black lipped oysters, Pinctada martensii, penguin oysters, and even some abalone and clams can produce pearls. When we come across them, we collect them and don't sell them. We raise them on our beach."
She has space, and there will definitely be countless pearls in her house in the future.
Yang Qingrui was stunned: "Abalone and clams may also contain pearls?"
"Yes." Song Chuman nodded: "Some snails also have pearls inside."
All the fishermen's faces suddenly became solemn.
They used to find seafood and sold most of it.
I guess even if there were pearls inside, they all went into the buyer's pocket.
Zeng Xiaonan thought about the many clams he had sold while fishing, and suddenly became anxious. "So, there's a high probability that there were pearls among the seafood we sold before?"
Seeing that their expressions were a little strange, Song Chuman nodded: "Yes, several common shellfish may be in there."
All the fishermen immediately had regretful expressions on their faces. They should not have sold the fish if they had known.
As long as there is a pearl in it, it is very likely that it can be used to catch a month's worth of seafood.
Song Chuman didn't want their emotions to affect their fishing, so she quickly explained, "The chances of pearls being found in abalone and clams are actually very small. I said they might have pearls, but it's just a possibility."
"The marine products that produce more pearls are the ones I just mentioned. Otherwise, they wouldn't be called pearl oysters."
"Each of you has a good income now. If your family finds clams or abalone while fishing, and you want to see if there are pearls inside, you can keep them."
"Let the past be the past. Don't let it affect your future life, otherwise you will suffer greater losses."
All the fishermen thought about it carefully and agreed that she was right.
There was no point in thinking about the past, and it could not be undone. It was better to pay close attention to the seafood found by the family in the future.
And what Aman said was right. In the past, many of the clams and other things they found were opened, and the meat inside was taken out and dried to make dried goods, which they then sold to people in the city. They really didn't see many pearls.
Thinking of this, everyone felt relieved.
Seeing that they all loved pearls, and that today was the first time they had found a pearl oyster, Song Chuman said generously, "My dear uncles and brothers, I'll give you the pearls in your hands as a souvenir. Consider it a gift from me."
