"A shell of such a big one should have good beads, you guys say yes, right?" Chen Xu turned his head and looked at the crowd around him and said with a smile.

"Hehe, the young master will know when he opens it!"

Countless people in the crowd laughed dryly, obviously not optimistic about Chen Xu's money-breaking business.

The Taihu clam shell produces beads, and this is known to everyone in the world.

Especially after the auspiciousness came out of the water five years ago, countless people were crazy about fishing shells and picking beads. In the past few years, there were crowds of fishing boats on Taihu Lake as it reached midsummer. Rich merchants and tourists from all over the country who spoke with various accents wanted to try their luck. After worshiping the clam shell ancestor in the Water Temple, they went to the lake to catch fish. Sometimes they fished for a whole summer, but only a handful of people could get good beads. Almost 99% of people came back with excitement and returned in a bad mood, spending a lot of money to hire local fishermen and fishing boats to go down to the lake to catch shells, but in the end they lost all their money. So fewer people came to catch shells in the past two years, and even less in autumn, because the lake clams were dived into the mud deep in the bottom of the lake, making fishing more difficult.

In this era when pearls were born and grown up, they were extremely scarce and valuable items, but their output was naturally visible. If pearls could be produced casually, then the pearls would not be valuable.

Chen Xu's prodigal actions today also fully confirm this situation.

He spent 40,000 yuan and used thousands of people one after another. In the end, he only earned more than 3,000 yuan worth of pearls, and one-tenth of the cost was not recovered. It was definitely a lost deal.

"Well, I have spent tens of thousands of dollars today. These are my hopes for the last fortune. If the priceless pearl is opened later, don't be jealous..."

Chen Xu pulled out the dagger, his eyes wandering among the lake clams of all sizes for a long time. Finally, he chose a large clam about two feet, squatted down and pried open a gap with the dagger, and then cut it open with a sharp blade inside.

"Wow, pearl..."

“Golden ~”

As the two huge shells separated, the snow-white clam meat flipped open, and a light golden light was released from the strong sunlight above the head. The onlookers were instantly exclaiming and restless, and many people rushed over. The scene was in chaos and lost control.

"Back back~" A group of guards was extremely nervous in an instant, holding their swordsman tightly and pressing the spring to scold them loudly. The crowd slowly stopped.

"This pearl is so beautiful!"

Seeing Chen Xu squatting on the ground slowly digging out the light golden pearl and lifting it into the air, the onlookers were amazed. Ying Shiman Meng Wan, spring, summer, autumn and winter and other groups of women all had blurred eyes, and the shining stars were all shining.

"Haha, hahahaha..." Chen Xu laughed happily, and after watching for a while, he turned to look at the crowded people watching, "Everyone, this pearl is five-minute size and is also a colorful bead. I don't know how valuable it is?"

"Young Master, how about selling this golden bead for three thousand dollars?" A middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes in the crowd reached out and shouted.

"Young master, you won't lose three thousand dollars!" An old man who was familiar with the market stood beside him and reminded him.

"Dad, please give it to me, I want this big pearl!" Chen Xi rushed up and hugged Chen Xu's arm and shook it.

"Okay, okay, win the first time, this pearl will play with you!" Chen Xu smiled and stuffed the pearl into his daughter's hand, then carried the dagger to find the next target.

Opening a clam is actually the same as gambling stones. There is no so-called experience at all. It depends entirely on luck, because the formation of pearls is an extremely accidental factor. When gravel and foreign objects enter the clam shell, the clam shell will find a way to spit it out. However, if it cannot be spit out and falls into the clam meat, the clam shell will secrete a pearl to wrap it up when it is uncomfortable. When the pearls accumulate more and more, pearls will slowly form.

For humans, pearls are treasures, but for shells, pearls are just cancers that torture their lives, because hiding pearls in the body not only affects eating, but also affects movement as they grow older.

But no matter what, the longer you live, the greater the chance of having pearls in your body, so the greater the chance of producing large beads. Just like older people are more likely to get cancer.

Soon Chen Xu chose another lake clam of the same size as two feet and opened it very quickly, but there was nothing but a bunch of clam noodles.

Chen Xu continued to work hard, and opened seven or eight in one breath after hundreds of people watching, but still found nothing.

"Haha, the first time I was lucky. All this pile was opened, and I guess there would be no more!" Someone in the crowd gloated.

"It's hard to say, maybe this young man is lucky!" Someone retorted.

"Husband, I'll help you!" Shui Qingrou also pulled out the meteorite iron sword passed down from the master's sect, and chose a damaged lake clam and squatted down.

"Okay, I'll go back to eat soon. It's impossible to get rich, but this deal is not a loss..." Chen Xu smiled and kept talking, and cut three more opens in a flash. He touched them carefully in the clam meat and still had nothing.

"Puff~"

Shui Qingrou's dagger gently cut the clam shell in his hand, and the movement was extremely light. As the two shells were pried apart by her hands, a pink light suddenly appeared in the depths of the onlookers' eyes.

"Wow, it's another brilliant bead..."

"What a big one..."

The crowd of onlookers suddenly became restless and exclaimed again. Shui Qingrou was also excited. Her slender fingers pinched a pink pearl the size of a thumb among the snow-white clam meat, and a pink halo suddenly rippled around under the sunlight.

Everyone stared at this extremely beautiful pink pearl, and exclaimed that many people stuffed their fists into their mouths and widened their eyes tightly. They couldn't believe it.

Looking at the pearl, not only Chen Xu was stunned, but even Qu Hai and the two men in the gorgeous clothes who had just sold shells were looking at each other.

"This... this is unscientific. There are only a hundred or ten lake clams, why can they open two large beads in succession, and they are rare colorful beads..." In the crowd, countless people who know how to use jewelry were drooling and murmured to themselves.

"This one is only worth more than ten thousand yuan~" After being excited, some people in the crowd began to speculate on its value.

"It must be more than that. An ordinary silver bead with an eight-cent diameter is worth tens of thousands of yuan. This pink bead is inch in diameter and its price is at least doubled. I have lived in Wuhu for more than fifty years and have only heard of this kind of colored bead once. The bead was finally presented to the King of Chu by the bead collector. He received countless grain fields and real estate, and had to be awarded the title of doctor..." An old man directly gave a higher speculation based on his life experience.

"Brother Xiaoxu, can you give me this colorful bead?" Yu Ji was also moved by this pearl in an instant, and hugged Chen Xu's arm and kept begging.

"Haha, okay, okay, I'll give it to you!" Chen Xu waved his hand, and the pearl became home instantly. Yu Ji cheered and took the pearl from Shui Qingrou's hand, held it in the palm of her hand, and watched it with Chen Xi and a few little maids beside her.

"Oh~" Several jewelry merchants in the crowd who had wanted to offer a price instantly put down their hands with a depressed expression. The young man in front of him seemed to be the kind who was not short of money. He instantly gave such expensive jewelry to two girls.

And thinking about it is actually very reasonable. After all, it is a guy who spent 40,000 yuan to buy fun. I don’t know who in the world is so spending money and so rich. If you are rich, besides the emperor, there is probably only the famous Qinghe Marquis...

Qinghe Hou... Qinghe Hou...

In an instant, someone couldn't help but tremble suddenly. His eyes suddenly became much brighter when he looked at Chen Xu's eyes. Then he looked at the group of women radiating around Chen Xu. His heart suddenly became brighter, and then he started to beating his heart in excitement.

"Young master, how about selling me these lake clams?" A slightly fat middle-aged man squeezed into the crowd and asked excitedly.

"Why, did you see me getting rich in an instant?" Chen Xu looked up at this guy who liked speculative businessmen.

"Hehe, I was originally in the jewelry business, and Zhenze came here once a year, but I have never met a person as lucky as a young master. Therefore, I also wanted to get involved in some young master's fortune. If you offer the price of these lake clams, you can buy them all!"

"You are obviously robbing me of my chance to get rich..." Chen Xu stood up and moved his hands and feet with a smile.

"As long as the young master is willing to sell, I will never bargain!" The merchant continued to increase his bid.

"I want to buy a few too!" An old man with gray hair and beard in the crowd also squeezed over.

"And I and I..." Another 40-year-old man with a gentle face and a long and thin body pushed away the crowd and raised his hand to signal.

"These people are crazy about Dazhu!" As they looked at several rich people who wanted to buy the remaining lake clams in an instant, some people in the crowd began to mutter.

"Maybe the rest can really be used to make big beads? I also want to buy a few to try..." Someone expressed different opinions.

Chen Xu's eyes flashed across the men, and after pondering for a moment, he smiled and said, "Don't regret it when you wait, maybe there will be no remaining pearl!"

"Young master, don't worry, you can offer the price as soon as possible. Picking pearls depends entirely on luck, so how can you regret it!" said the fat man who stood up quickly.

"Okay, I won't offer the price. There are about 70 left here. Let's play a game of gambling clams. The base price of one foot is twenty yuan, not enough for two feet, and one hundred yuan more than two feet... You can participate in the bidding for these lake clams on site. You can open clams on site. This not only depends on your fortune and some fun. What do you think?" Chen Xu spoke while using his feet to divide the lake clams on the ground into three piles according to their size.

"Okay, the method of young master is good, it depends on financial resources and luck. We want to participate!" As countless onlookers' eyes lit up, some people couldn't wait to stand up.
Chapter completed!
