The pearls clattered in the large iron basin.
After Wu An finished prying open the last one, he subconsciously reached into the basket and found nothing there. He then looked up and asked, "Are you done opening them all?"
Ah Qing brought over the tea: "Brother, it's all finished."
"Have some tea."
"Hey, why are you shaking..."
Wu An took the teacup and tried to bring it to his lips, but he couldn't. His arms were weak and sore, and he was shaking violently as if he were being electrocuted.
The teacup was finally brought to my lips when all the tea had spilled onto the floor.
Mei Wu brought over another cup.
Aqing took it and brought it to Wu An's lips: "Brother, you've worked hard, let me feed you."
After finishing a large glass of water, Wu An said, "Let's settle things."
Aqing nodded.
Each person received a small basket, and then they started counting them.
Wu An wanted to lend a hand, but he found that he could barely lift his arm, let alone count the pearls by moving them with his fingers.
He wanted to rub it.
As a result, I tragically discovered that when I rubbed my right hand with my left, my left hand was in a semi-disabled state and couldn't exert any strength; when I rubbed my left hand with my right, my right hand was in a semi-disabled state and had the same effect.
He was fine while working, but taking a break was so uncomfortable that he wanted to bang his head.
Seeing that Aqing and Meiwu were both fine, he couldn't help but wonder, what's going on? His physical strength is not as good as Aqing and Meiwu's.
Gao Qiangqi finished counting first and said with a smile, "A'an, it's our fault. We noticed you were having good luck, so we all slowed down. You were driving most of the time."
Wu An: "..."
Gao Qiangqi brought over a bottle of tea oil. Although it was evening, there was no wind in the yard, so Wu Anben took off his vest. He said he would apply it himself, but it didn't work, so Gao Qiangqi helped him apply it.
After applying the tea oil, Gao Qiangqi didn't put it away: "I'll take it back later."
"Apply it after showering these past two days."
"It will be better soon."
Wu An didn't stand on ceremony: "Thanks, Brother Qiang."
Gao Qiangqi patted him on the shoulder and said, "I was inconsiderate."
Wu An shook his head.
Luck is invisible and intangible, but it does exist; otherwise, how could there be unlucky people and lucky people?
He's lucky; if he works harder, he can earn more money.
He was a little annoyed, but there was nothing he could say. After all, he had gotten a bit carried away opening pearls, which was much more interesting than opening blind boxes.
soon.
Everyone has taken stock.
Ah Qing came over and excitedly shouted, "Brother, there are 1240 pearls in total."
Wu An nodded happily: "That's good."
This was more than two hundred more than he had expected.
Everyone cheered happily, and Gao Qiangqi said, "What's the point of just yelling? If you're so happy, let's drink and celebrate."
Ah Jin went over to help.
Soon, a sumptuous feast was laid out.
Mei Wu asked, "Brother, can we sell those shells and meat too?"
Gao Qiangqi nodded: "Everything is arranged."
"As for pearls, I contacted jewelers in the provincial capital."
"I contacted friends in the shell carving association about those shells."
"As for the shellfish meat, it's even simpler. We'll send it away first thing tomorrow morning, and it'll be on the tables of major restaurants by noon."
Wu An raised his glass: "Thank you, Brother Qiang."
Gao Qiangqi waved his hand; for him, it was just a matter of making a few phone calls.
Everyone was starving.
After eating and drinking heartily, Wu An was full in half an hour. He took a walk around the yard and saw that A Jin had finished packing up, so he said he was leaving.
Gao Qiangqi asked, "Are you just leaving like that?"
Wu An nodded.
Gao Qiangqi looked at the others.
Aqing: "I'll listen to my brother."
Mei Wu and Old Fu nodded without saying anything.
Gao Qiangqi said, "A'an, why don't you arrange for someone to keep watch?"
Wu An smiled and said, "Brother Qiang, no need."
Retaining people is an option.
But who should be kept?
If only one is left, is there a possibility that they could be bribed?
Once doubts arise, the matter will never end.
I'll say it again.
Since he chose Gao Qiangqi, he trusts him completely and will continue to do so.
Gao Qiangqi said, "Alright, it's so late, you can stay and get some sleep, and leave tomorrow."
Wu An shook his head: "We can't keep him."
He leaned close to Gao Qiangqi's ear and whispered, "Actually, the reason I'm in such a hurry to leave is because there's still treasure on the ship."
Gao Qiangqi asked in surprise, "What else?"
Wu An didn't intend to hide anything and said, "Actually, we didn't go there for the white butterfly shell, but to find ambergris. Luckily, we actually found it."
"When we found ambergris on the seabed, we unexpectedly discovered a lot of white-lipped oysters."
Even with Gao Qiangqi's composure, he was stunned.
Were all those white-lipped mussels discovered by chance?
He couldn't help but ask, "How big is ambergris?"
Wu An said, "It's about sixty-six jin."
"..." Gao Qiangqi was stunned for a while, then quickly did some calculations in his mind. Wu An and his few people had worked hard in the sea for the past few months and earned more money than he had worked himself to the bone with his many employees for a year.
Wu An felt he was being a bit pretentious and said, "I have to thank Brother Qiang for what you said back then, otherwise I wouldn't have made up my mind to find ambergris."
Gao Qiangqi was completely bewildered. Just as he was about to ask where this came from, he remembered that Wu An had told him before that he wanted to look for ambergris. At that time, he didn't discourage him and even said something like, "You're lucky, maybe you can find it."
In reality, he said that, but he didn't really believe it at all.
result.
Wu An actually did it.
Although he was incredibly curious, he didn't ask any further questions.
He knew that Wu An's ability to find ambergris with these people was definitely not just due to luck.
After Wu An and the others left, A Jin asked curiously, "Why were Brother An and the others in such a hurry to leave?"
Gao Qiangqi said, "Don't ask questions you shouldn't."
Akin nodded.
...
Back on the ship.
Old Fu set sail, and Wu An and the others didn't sit idle either. They quickly cleaned and tidied up the fishing boat. When they arrived at the village dock, there were quite a few fishing boats moored there, and the weather had already turned bad.
The dock was bustling.
Those who run breakfast businesses are already setting up their stalls.
Aqing disembarked, borrowed a tricycle from Lao Xie, and the group hid the ambergris incense before riding the tricycle straight to the old house.
Along the way.
Everyone was very careful. Apart from Aqing on his bicycle, Wu An and Mei Wu looked around as if they were guarding against thieves. Old Fu was somewhat helpless when he saw the two of them like this.
He also reminded Wu An and Mei Wu to relax, but when he saw someone knocking on his eye, he became nervous as well.
We arrived at the old house.
Move the ambergris into the house and close the door.
"Is no one watching?"
"No, don't worry."
"That's good."
There was nowhere better to put the ambergris, so it was temporarily placed on the bed. After everyone finished their work, they sat down to drink tea and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
