A Farmer's Lady's Guide to Getting Rich

Chapter 655 Pearl
Changning and Xiao Qian returned to Kaoshan Village again, and were warmly welcomed by the villagers. The scene was really crowded with gongs, drums and firecrackers.

That scene was even more lively than when Xiao Qian and the fourth prince first visited the mountain village.Then boss Xin, who has become Lizheng, ran over and told Chang Ning excitedly: Now Kaoshan Village is no longer called Kaoshan Village, and everyone collectively decided to change the name to Fenghuang Village.

Because the golden phoenix Changning flew out of the mountain nest!
It made Changning very ashamed.

Xiao Qian also took the opportunity to tease: "Fortunately, the name was not changed to Wangfei Village, Fenghuang Village sounds very nice, Fengqiuhuang, um—"

Xingfuju is still the same as it was before, and everything is well maintained, even the pond where the pearls are tested has not changed at all, except that the trees and flowers on the side have grown taller.

This time Chang Ning came over and brought Xiao Ran along. The little girl followed behind Qin Changxi, looked at everything in surprise, and couldn't help saying: "Brother Changxi, your house is very beautiful!"

"Of course, the Xingfuju in my family is the most beautiful within a hundred miles around here. It was built with a drawing drawn by my sister herself back then."

"Really?" Xiao Ran blinked her eyes in disbelief.

Although she was young, she had heard people mention that the concubine's natal family was very poor, and it was because the prince's brother who was married to her climbed a high branch that life was easier.

But now it seems that the princess's family is very rich!

snort!Those women must be jealous of the princess.

Because the concubine's sister-in-law is beautiful and capable!
Xiao Ran turned her head around and immediately came to a conclusion, and when she looked at Chang Ning again, she also became admiring.

"In the future, I must be like my sister-in-law, a capable woman!" She secretly made up her mind.

Chang Ning didn't know that she had become a role model for Xiao Ran's children. She was a little surprised to see that almost every house in the village had built new houses, and they all imitated the architectural style of Happy House.

After asking the villagers, they found out that they all knew that Xingfuju was designed and built by her, so they purposely built it to be the same, so that it could be said to be full of the princess's joy.

With the completion of Fenghuang Village, the nearby villages have followed suit. At present, this simple and elegant architectural style has become a popular trend.

"I really didn't expect that I was purely saving money, but I became a trend-setter." Seeing this, Chang Ning couldn't help but sigh with emotion about the changes in the world.

"Aifei's aesthetics has always surpassed others, and the happy house is built extremely well. If the palace in Huining City is not bad, I would like to tear it down and change it to this."

Xiao Qian also liked the environment of Xingfuju very much. He walked around the Xingfuju and pointed out the only shortcoming: "The windows are still made of paper. It will be fine when they are replaced with glass."

"There is already a glass factory in the suburbs of Beijing, but the output is not large and the price is too high. My parents are reluctant to use it!" Chang Ning said with a smile, "I'll send someone to say hello and ask them to bring some over."

"Well, if you have something good, of course you have to keep it close to your own family."

Xiao Qian nodded, and wanted to say something more, when he saw Chang Ning calling Le Zhen Le Xing, Xiao Ling, Yan Luo, Liu Shi, Yang Yulan, Xiao Ren and others together, and prepared baskets, basins, daggers and other items.

"What is this for?" He was puzzled for a moment.

"Picking pearls!" Chang Ning handed Liu Liu in his arms to Xiao Qian, and directed everyone to start preparing.

"It can really be raised!" Xiao Qian followed curiously with his son in his arms to watch the fun.

"I don't know either. Let's try it. Anyway, those river mussels have survived for three or four years. If there are no pearls, let's add mussel meat to dinner."

Chang Ning didn't hold out much hope, and thought calmly.

Mrs. Liu still doesn't believe that river mussels can grow pearls, so she interjected: "Pearls are such a precious thing, how can we grow some river mussels? I think it's a waste of work."

"Clam meat is also delicious, how can it be a waste of work!" Chang Ning replied with a smile.

"In the past few years, I was afraid of hurting the mussels. Looking at such a ready-made pond, our family didn't dare to raise fish or shrimps. We only raised mussels. Thank you! How much are the mussels worth? !"

Qin Changxi took Xiao Ran along, and ran excitedly to watch the mussels being fished, hoping to see pearls.

Seeing that Mrs. Liu refused to believe it, he immediately argued: "Fish and shrimp are not as valuable as pearls! Mother, which of the things my sister is going to do has never been done?"

"That's it!" Mrs. Liu thought for a while, Changning had never done a loss-making business, so she suddenly had nothing to say.

Hearing that Xiao Ran's beautiful eyes widened, she pulled Changxi's clothes vigorously and asked, "Really? Brother Changxi, are there really pearls in the clam?"

"There must be, you are right to believe in my sister, just wait and see!" Chang Xi had an unconditional sense of trust in Chang Ning, and patted his chest to reassure.

After the group reached the edge of the pond, Chang Ning took a look first, and then ordered Xiao Ren to bring up a cage.In the past, river mussels were kept in cages, but now it is convenient to collect them, just pick them up and put them in a basin.

The mussels are quite fat, each bigger than an adult's palm, and the shells are tightly closed with great strength.

Chang Ning picked up a mussel and looked at it, then handed it to Xiao Ren, asking him to pry the mussel open with a dagger.

Everyone fixed their eyes on Xiao Ren's movements, and they were so excited that they didn't even dare to breathe.

When they first pried it open, they saw all the clam meat, and everyone was feeling disappointed, when Xiao Ren turned over the clam meat, and there were many small round grains underneath. Shiny pale pink pearls are revealed.

"My God!"

Liu was the first to scream, and the others were also stunned, saying in unison: "It's really a pearl!"

It was the first time for them to see the appearance of pearls in the shells.

Xiao Ren got out the first pearl, and she was also very excited, so she simply split the pearl oyster into two pieces, and then pulled it out with her hands.Pearls rolled out one after another, pink, white, and light orange.

A pearl oyster harvested more than [-] finger-sized pearls. After washing them in clean water, each pearl shone brightly. Although some pearls were not round enough, they were quite beautiful.

In this world without pearl cultivation, the price of natural pearls is quite expensive. If these twenty or so pearls are brought to the market casually, at least a few hundred catties of rice can be exchanged.

Just one mussel can harvest so much, if all the mussels in the pond are caught, how many pearls can be harvested?

God!This is really a windfall!

In an instant, everyone's expressions became anxious, and their gazes at Chang Ning also became more admirable.

Seeing that the pearls had really grown, Chang Ning was also very pleased. She took the twenty or so pearls and looked at them, then ordered someone to send a team of reliable guards to catch all the mussels and gather them together to open them. Pearling.

In addition, send someone to the capital to invite Su Gongzi, who is a treasure of happiness.
