Mushroom House: let you do the whole job, not let you do it for nothing

Chapter 169 No matter how small a pearl is, it is money

"This seems to be a pearl?" Lin Yi was taken aback for a moment.

Good guy, he didn't expect that pearls would be produced from just a few mussels.

Although everyone knows that pearls can grow in mussels, the probability is actually quite low.

Especially wild mussels, without human intervention, the probability of producing pearls is even lower.

"Pearl, let me see." Huang Xiaochu and others' eyes lit up when they heard the word "Pearl".

"Are pearls very valuable?" Sister Zifeng blinked.

Are there many on the market?

The prices seem to be very low. A pearl necklace can be bought for hundreds of dollars.

"That kind of pearls are artificial, and some are technological and hardworking, so the price is naturally low. These are natural pearls, and the price is quite different from that." Xiaochu Huang cleaned up the hard object Zifeng's sister found just now, When I found out that it was really a pearl, I couldn't close my mouth from laughing.

Properly good stuff.

In fact, the price of pearls varies greatly.

Huang Xiaochu said that natural pearls are very expensive, compared to artificial pearls.

In fact, compared to gold or something, it is not expensive.

Anything, if it can be man-made, its value will be greatly reduced.

Diamonds, for example, were touted to the sky before.

But now after artificial diamonds come out, the price has also turned down, and the myth has been shattered.

Pearls have been very popular since ancient times.

Especially in ancient times, the price was even more expensive than gold and silver.

Its magnificent colors and elegant temperament make people can't help liking it.

"How much is this pearl worth?" Director Xixi asked Huang Xiaochu.

This stopped Huang Xiaochu from asking.

How did he know.

He just said that casually.

"Brother, you know a lot, tell me." Huang Xiaochu turned to Ji Dong for help.

Lin Yi put down the mussel in his hand, took the pearl from Huang Xiaochu's hand, and examined it.

In fact, the price of pearls, the water is very deep.

It's not that transparent, it's calculated according to how much a gram of gold costs.

It depends on the variety and quality of the pearl.

Freshwater pearls are less expensive than saltwater pearls.

The rarer pearls on the market are more expensive.

For example, natural black pearls cost more than 10 yuan.

The same quality, compared to the size, the larger the pearl, the rarer it is, the more expensive it is.

"There is a saying in the industry that seven parts are pearls and eight parts are treasures."

The score here is the size of the pearl, that is, millimeters.

Pearls below 6 mm are not called pearls and are not worth much. Pearls of 7 mm are ordinary pearls, while pearls of 8 mm are treasures.

In addition to looking at the size, it also depends on whether the surface of the pearl is flawed and whether the pearl is round enough.

Lin Yi talked about how Datong judged the price of pearls, which whetted Huang Xiaochu's appetite.

"Brother, just tell us if this pearl is worth anything."

"Yeah, we can't understand what you said so much."

"I'm so anxious, can this pearl be worth 1 w?"

Ji Dong shook his head: "What are you thinking? The quality of this pearl is so-so. It's worth 1000 yuan at most. How can it break W."

Everyone was a little bit surprised when they heard that, and that's it?

White looking forward to a game.

"Ahem, how much more do you want?" Lin Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Could it be that they have seen too many good things in the past few days, so they are not quite used to returning to normal.

But in fact, picking up a few mussels can earn 1000 yuan, which is really delicious for most ordinary people.

"No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat. I think this pearl is not bad. If no one buys it, just give it to me. I'll buy it for 1000 yuan." Lin Yi said.

Pearl is actually a traditional Chinese medicine.

"Whatever you can buy or not, brother, if you want it, just take it." Huang Xiaochu stuffed the pearl into Ji Dong's hand.

Ji Dong thought about it and put it in his pocket, but he was disrespectful.

If you don't take it, it will be hypocritical.

"Why are there pearls in the mussels?" Sister Zifeng was a little puzzled.

She was rarely exposed to this kind of knowledge before.

You may have heard of some, but forgot.

"The reason for the formation of pearls is similar to the inner alchemy I discovered last time, but the price is one in the sky and the other in the earth. Pearls refer to the soft body in the shell, which has diseased itself, or can not be invaded by external foreign objects ( Such as sand, etc.) are excreted from the body, just like sand in our eyes, we will secrete tears to repel it." Lin Yi explained to sister Zifeng.

The same is true for shellfish. Through their own physiological functions, they secrete something called nacre.

Nacre will wrap the lesion or foreign matter (sand) after a certain period of time.

It will form crystals, which are pearls.

Sister Zifeng suddenly realized that this was the case.

She figured it out.

"666, little brother is well-informed, I'm Buddha."

"Clam: Where's my pearl? My pearl is gone, you give me back my pearl."

"Is it just me who thinks that the existence of pearls is a cruel thing? Humans always like to base their pain on the pain of others."

"I'm rough, a person ran out of Notre Dame de Paris, hurry up and catch him back."

"Brother, you can buy a high-speed rail ticket, go to Leshan, find a big Buddha, you let him stand up, you sit."

"This isn't cruel, right? Everything has a law of existence."

Soon, under the concerted efforts of everyone, the shell and flesh of the mussel were separated.

After all the mussel meat was cleaned out, there were only two plates, which was indeed as they had expected in advance, which was pitifully small.

"These mussels are so tight." Sister Zifeng opened a lot of mussels just now, and she felt her hands hurt.

Ji Dong smiled slightly, it was important.

This shows that the mussels are very fresh.

Look at these river mussels, the meat is very tender, and they feel different to the touch.

If it's the kind of mussel that can be opened as soon as it is broken, Ji Dong would not dare to eat it.

Might have an odd smell.

Ji Dong took the processed mussel meat to the small kitchen for processing.

This kind of ingredients needs to be marinated with light soy sauce, salt, and cooking wine to remove the fishy smell, and then it will be nice to cook.

This trick was learned by Ji Dong from his mother.

Different ingredients, different processing methods.

"Little brother, how are you going to burn it?" Reba asked Ji Dong curiously.

Lin Yi told Reba to stir-fry directly with chili.

Just like chili fried meat.

High-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking method.

It doesn't need to be too fancy to deal with. Stir-fried clam meat is very suitable, spicy and delicious.

"Little brother, it's the first time I've eaten this mussel meat when I've grown so big, I hope it won't disappoint me." Reba swallowed from the side, looking forward to it.

"When have I let you down, don't worry." Lin Yi smiled slightly at Reba.

This is true, Reba still has great confidence in Ji Dong's skills.

Lin Yi walked into the kitchen, and the popularity of the live broadcast room actually increased a lot.

This surprised the assistant director in charge of the live broadcast.

It's outrageous, do all the water friends this year like to watch cooking so much? ?
Not to mention, the barrage in the live broadcast room was still discussing other things just now, but now it has become unified.

"Brothers, come to learn how to cook again."
