Chapter 56 Ginseng and Black Pearls
After lunch, the whole family went to the wasteland, Xiao'er didn't follow, she took this opportunity to go up the mountain, and then came to the woods that Jingrui said was unlucky, Xiao'er suspected that what they said would cry The tree is a rubber tree, and now I see that it is really the rubber tree I saw in the previous life. I can't help but feel a little excited and also feel strange. According to the memory of the original owner, the climate here is not suitable for planting rubber trees. Why do rubber trees appear here?

"There is geothermal heat nearby, which affects the warmer climate here." He spoke at the right time during the day.

Xiao'er nodded. There are many wonders in the world, and the natural world is even more mysterious. However, even if there is geothermal heat nearby, it is difficult to use it. So she didn't bother with this problem, cut a hole with a sickle, and started to pick up latex with a wooden barrel.She gave Shangguan Xuanyi a hand-operated water pump in the previous design drawing, in which a rubber sealing ring that fits on the press tube needs to be made, just use these latex to see if it can be made.

She transplanted two smaller rubber trees into the space for future use. After picking up the latex, she put the whole bucket of it into the space and went down the mountain. When she went down the mountain, she picked up two pheasants and put them in the space to raise.

The ginseng planted in the space was already very large, so she found a smaller one and prepared to take it outside and said that it was picked on the mountain. Then she took out several herbs grown in the space and went down the mountain.When she got home, she didn't meet anyone, so she took a sack and packed a big sack of herbs, put ginseng in the bag, locked the door of the room, made some bait, and went to the village with two baskets. Head to go.

"Brother, Hao'er, why don't we go catch some fish and eat it tonight?"

When they heard Xiao'er's words, they quickly put down their work and ran to her side, "Sister, are you going to catch fish? Why don't you bring a bucket? How can you hold fish without a bucket?"

"Hey, Hao'er is more thoughtful, you go ask dad to help us pull a bucket to the river in a cart, let's catch more fish, and give extra meals to the people who help us open up wasteland tonight."

After hearing this, Jing Hao hurriedly ran to tell Shen Chengyao, and Shen Chengyao put down his work and went back to help a few children transport Mutong.

When they came to the river, Shen Chengyao and his two brothers were in charge of catching fish. She didn’t go into the river. The river was very cold at this time. Shen Chengyao repeatedly told Xiao’er not to allow her to go into the water. Xiao’er took a bamboo and fiddled with the stones by the river. Shen Chengyao didn't stop her when she saw it, thinking she was just playing for fun, Xiao'er saw that the three of them didn't pay attention, so she put three extra-large mussels into the seam of the three rocks in the water, and then put some smaller ones, and then made a loud noise. Shouted: "Dad, Dad, come and have a look!"

When Shen Chengyao heard Xiao'er's shout, he looked back and saw that Xiao'er was standing on the rock well, so he was relieved. Then he picked up the basket in the water, lifted it to the shore, and asked Jing Hao to pick up the fish into the bucket. Then he walked towards Xiao'er.

"What did Xiao'er see, is it a small river crab?"

Xiao'er beckoned, looking very anxious, "Father, hurry up, come and see."

Shen Chengyao came to Xiao'er, and Xiao'er used bamboo to pick up mussels in the water. Shen Chengyao saw a mussel in the river that was as big as a small pumpkin, so he reached out to pick it up from the water, "Hey, this river Has the clam matured?"

"Father, I heard that river mussels can grow pearls, let's break them apart and have a look."

The two brothers stopped fishing after hearing this, and ran over to see the giant clam, "Dad, see if there are any pearls in it!"

Jing Hao picked up a stone and handed it to Shen Chengyao. He was about to smash it down when he took it, but Xiaoer hurriedly stopped him, "No, if Dad has pearls and smashes them down like this, it will be destroyed!"

"It's so tightly closed that you can't break it open with your hands!"

"I'll go home and get a kitchen knife!" After Jing Hao finished speaking, he ran away like a breeze.

"I'll look for it again to see if there's any more." Jing Rui buried himself in the search carefully.

"There is another one here, this one is bigger!" Jing Rui scooped up the clam from the water, held it up with both hands and waved it cheerfully.

Seeing this, Shen Chengyao also searched earnestly in the river, and Xiaoer naturally searched together, and found all the mussels that had been put in after a while.

Jing Hao soon came over with a kitchen knife, and this kid was also smart and brought a backpack and cloth.

Shen Chengyao carefully cut open the clam shell with a kitchen knife, revealing a black pearl the size of an apple inside, the black nacre glowed blue-purple in the sun, Shen Chengyao took the pearl out, and The river water was cleaned and turned again. The strong metallic luster of the black pearl changed into various colorful colors with the turning, showing a more beautiful luster.

"Can black pearls be sold for money?" Jing Hao was a little worried.

"Black pearl is a very precious pearl species. It symbolizes the crystallization of the most difficult years. It is called the most painful tears of the mother oyster. It is rare and a symbol of nobility after suffering."

"That's very valuable?!" Recently, he was worried that he would run out of money after the house was opened and the house was built.

"Father, cut open the remaining mussels to see if there are any pearls." Jing Rui looked at the small pile of mussels on the ground, feeling unstoppable excitement.

Shen Chengyao picked up another large mussel and cut it up more carefully, revealing another purple pearl the size of a goose egg.

"Purple, it's a purple pearl, so beautiful!" Jing Hao jumped up happily, "Father, go ahead, cut it quickly."

Shen Chengyao picked up the pearls and cleaned them. Xiaoer spread out the pan that Jing Hao brought with cloth, and then put both the black pearls and the purple pearls in. The two brothers looked at the two pearls inside the pan and couldn't bear to blink.

Shen Chengyao cut open the last giant clam, this time it was a white fist-sized pearl, radiant and dazzling.A lot of fish-eye-sized pearls were also cut out from the remaining smaller mussels, including pink, golden yellow, and blue ones, each with about ten or twenty pearls.

Shen Chengyao forcibly suppressed the joy in his heart, "Rui'er, go and cut some grass and put it on the basket. Don't fish for now, we'll catch it tomorrow, now let's go home first."

Xiao'er had already gone to dig some wild vegetables when the three of them were seriously immersed in the great pearl-cutting business. "Father, I dug some wild vegetables. Just put the wild vegetables on top."

Shen Chengyao nodded, put the wild vegetables in the back basket, and after making sure that there was nothing hidden underneath, he loaded the bucket with fish and two baskets onto the cart, and put the back basket on the cart, Then pretending to be calm, he pushed the cart and walked home with floating steps.

Greetings to familiar people on the road are almost irrelevant.Making others confused, Xiao'er couldn't help lowering her head and sniggering.

As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he saw Mrs. Li coming out of the west wing, and saw them carrying a big bath tub, and rushed towards them with glowing eyes. Shen Chengyao thought she knew there were pearls in the basket, and was startled.

Mrs. Li threw herself on the tub and saw more than a dozen big fish inside, her eyes lit up, "Third brother, my family just doesn't have anything to eat tonight, this fish?"

Seeing that Mrs. Li just wanted fish, Shen Chengyao breathed out lightly, "Second Sister-in-law wants to eat fish, just choose two."

After hearing this, Mrs. Li caught the two biggest fish inside without any hesitation.

"Father, let's also send some fish to Grandma and Fourth Uncle's house. I'll cook first." Xiao'er ignored her, picked up the basket naturally, and went back to the West Wing.

When they saw Xiao'er went back to the house with a basket on her back, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
