The sun has just risen in the early morning, and there is a morning glow on the horizon.
In the distance, where the water meets the sky, there is an island with layers of pavilions. The island is surrounded by ships coming to do business, coming and going like ants.
"The mirage has arrived." Someone shouted.
At the dock, as soon as the mermaids jumped ashore, merchants surrounded them and bought mermaid pearls from them.
Tang Qingxi was protected by Ye Qingyi and squeezed out of the crowd with difficulty, without waiting for her to take a good look at Hai Shi.
Tianchi squeezed out of the crowd behind her and said to her, "Let's go to the mermaid's shop first. The other three mermaids will wait for the owner over there."
The dock was crowded with people and it wasn't a good place to talk. They left in a hurry.
When they arrived at a shop on the street, Tianchi took Tang Qingxi upstairs.
In the lobby of the second floor were sitting the mermaids from the West, South and North seas. They saw Tianchi coming up with two young women.
One is a good friend of Donghai Laogui, and the other is a stranger. Could this be the supermarket owner? He is too young.
"I guess this is the supermarket owner. He's really young and promising."
"Fairy Ye, long time no see."
"Hello everyone."
After everyone exchanged greetings and sat down, the leader of the South China Sea mermaids lost his temper and said anxiously, "We've brought the storage shells and water-repellent beads. Can we trade them now?"
"Of course you can," Tang Qingxi reminded him, "but you need sugarcane to make sugar. You have to buy it or grow it yourself."
"We know." Seeing that the mermaids were not in a difficult situation, it seemed that they had channels to buy sugarcane.
Tang Qingxi didn't waste any words and directly handed the sugar-making manual to the mermaids. The mermaids also readily handed the things to Tang Qingxi.
After Tang Qingxi and the other mermaids finished looking through the manual, they began trading mermaid pearls and mermaid silk with them. Needless to say, the price was the same as what the mermaids in the East China Sea bought at the supermarket.
By the time everyone had finished exchanging their items, it was already night time. The mermaids had each exchanged their items to their satisfaction and left.
This time, Tang Qingxi exchanged all the mermaid pearls and mermaid silks from the mermaids of the four seas. I wonder what the merchants in Hai City are going to exchange for this time.
Only after she walked out of the shop did she have time to take a good look at the mirage.
Tang Qingxi now stood in the middle of the long street. Looking around, the left and right sides of the long street were a sea of lights and flowers. The market was bustling with people, and the sounds of hawking were heard one after another, making it extremely lively.
Tang Qingxi saw that some mermaids had already put out the solar lights they bought from the supermarket. A dozen or so table lamps made that area as bright as day.
In ancient times, people used candles and oil lamps for lighting at night. The light was dim and of poor quality, and it hurt people's eyes. Even the night pearls did not shine as brightly as this.
Seeing such bright lights, merchants flocked to the market.
There were also vendors selling wine, glass, and spices nearby. Tang Qingxi had just been worried about what to do if these merchants couldn't buy the mermaid pearls, but now it seemed there was no need to worry.
I was about to start shopping, and after walking a few steps, I came across a stall selling pearls. The pearls were piled up in tattered frames as if they were worthless, and each frame had a different color.
Tang Qingxi saw rare conch pearls, gold pearls, and even black pearls at a glance. Each pearl glowed with a warm luster under the candlelight.
Feeling the light from the stall wasn't enough, Tang Qingxi took out a flashlight to illuminate the stall. As soon as he turned it on, the stall owner snatched it away.
"What are you doing?" Ye Qingyi shouted.
The stall owner wasn't angry. He fiddled with the flashlight curiously. "This is the same new thing those mermaids brought out. Do you have any more? Sell me some."
Tang Qingxi said, "I have plenty of flashlights. So, how do you sell your pearls?"
