Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982

  Chapter 57 Meile Pearl (National Day plus update)

Lin Xiuqing also squatted down to look at it, stared for a long time, and then said: "Will the snail meat come out like this? How long will it take to hang? If I had known, I would have borrowed the weight, and I could also weigh the snail. .”

   "It's okay, it doesn't matter whether you call it or not, the most important thing is whether you have a baby? This coconut snail only weighs 3-4 catties, let's hang it for a while!"

  She had to wait patiently, wondering what kind of treasure was in this snail? Her man is still mysterious?

  Ye Yaodong lowered the weighing hook, and after a while, the shell of the coconut snail fell off and fell on the beach, and the snail meat hung on the weighing hook like a spring.

But at this time, who cares whether the snail meat is big or not, Q or not, the moment Lin Xiuqing dropped the shell of the coconut snail on the beach, she immediately picked it up with bright eyes, then opened and closed her eyes to look at the spiral part .

  Ye Yaodong also asked nervously: "Is there anything inside?"

   "Orange! There's really something in it!"

  Lin Xiuqing's eyes widened, and she was pleasantly surprised. When she first saw the waves rushing up, she thought it was just shells and no flesh.

   "Fuck!"

  He was instantly excited, took the shell in her hand and poured it over, and a round orange-red bead with ceramic light fell directly on his hand!

   "Hahahaha~ I got rich~"

  Lin Xiuqing looked at his happy face, and knew that it must be worth a lot, so she asked in surprise, "What kind of bead is this! Why haven't I seen it before?"

  Ye Yaodong held up the beads, grinning so much that the corners of his mouth almost went behind his ears, "Mele beads! Have you heard of them? This snail has a one-in-a-thousand chance to produce Mele beads."

   "What are Melo beads? Are they also a type of pearl?"

"It's more valuable than pearls. If the beads come out of this coconut snail, they are called Meile beads, and they can also be called "Dragon Balls" or "Flame Beads". The colors are orange red, orange yellow, yellow, and nearly white. Some Merlot There are also flame patterns on the beads, and the shapes are irregular, oval and round, among which the round has the highest value."

   "Our bead has flame patterns on it!"

   "Yes", Ye Yaodong narrowed his eyes with a smile, "This is the best Merlot bead, it looks bigger than a two-cent coin!"

  The diameter of a two-cent coin in this era should be about 21 mm. He visually estimated that it was larger than a two-cent coin and a little smaller than a five-cent coin. It may be about the same. The diameter of a five-cent coin is 24 mm.

   Really made a fortune!

  Lin Xiuqing was overjoyed, "Let's compare the coins when we go back. Today is really the right time to come out!"

   This is the second time she said this, which shows how happy she is.

  He was triumphant, "Now you know that you listened to me right!"

   "Yes, yes, even if you come to the beach during a typhoon, who in the village would dare to be swept away by the waves!"

   "They are cowards. Typhoon geniuses have surprises. As long as there are big waves, the beach is more rewarding than when there is a high tide."

   "Then how much can this bead be sold for? Where are we going to sell this bead?"

  Uh... This question is also a bit difficult for him, he really doesn't know how much this bead is worth at this time...

  Influenced by my country's traditional dragon culture, the collectors have always regarded Meile beads as "Dragon Balls", endowed with sacred symbolic meaning, and also belong to rare royal jewelry.

  According to what he heard in later generations, this is all priced at ten thousand dollars, but now, he is not sure. After all, the productivity is backward now, and the problem of food and clothing for the people has just been solved.

He frowned, "I only know that this bead is very expensive. I don't know exactly how much it can sell for. The jewelry stores in our town and county towns definitely can't estimate the price. Even if they can estimate it, they will definitely not be able to give a high price. I don't think it's going well, maybe I have to go to the provincial capital!"

   "Huh? Going to the provincial capital? So far away?" Lin Xiuqing was also dumbfounded when she heard this. Is this bead so great?

Ye Yaodong also felt that it was a bit troublesome. After thinking about it, he said in a discussing tone: "We are not very short of money now, and we can get by. How about we keep this bead and this luck? It's also a 'Dragon Ball', staying in our house may also bless our family with smooth sailing and good luck!"

Lin Xiuqing thought about it for a while and felt that it made sense. They can still get by now. If it's really that valuable, sell it and let relatives and friends know. There must be a bunch of seven aunts and eight aunts taking turns to borrow money, and they don't want to live in peace. up.

  In their rural areas, half of the village is full of relatives and friends. When the time comes, if the child has no money to go to school, and the family has no money to see a doctor, will you borrow it?

  Don’t borrow… Say you have no conscience, you are all relatives and friends, if you have difficulties, you don’t lend your hand when you get rich.

  Borrow it... People may not be grateful, and those who have not borrowed will have complaints...

   Make yourself not a human inside and out!

   It’s better to cover your hands first. It’s still a ‘Dragon Ball’, so it’s good to keep it to protect your family. If the family is really difficult and can’t go on, it’s not too late to change the money.

  And...she glanced at her man secretly, what if he becomes worse and more lazy than before when he becomes rich?

  A man becomes bad when he has money. She has heard too many gossips. After all, he seems to have gotten better these days, so it's better not to sell it.

  After just a while, Lin Xiuqing's mind was spinning and thinking a lot.

"Yeah!" She nodded, "You're right, we're getting by now, and it's our luck to find this 'Dragon Ball', so let's keep our luck and bless our family with smooth sailing and a lot of harvest .”

   "As long as we know about this bead, don't tell other people."

"I know!"

  Ye Yaodong handed the Meile Pearl to her, "You keep it, it will be locked after you take it home."

  Lin Xiuqing took the beads with a gentle smile on her face. He didn't hesitate to hand over such a valuable thing to her for safekeeping, which made her feel satisfied with being trusted, and couldn't help but look at him more.

   "Why? Suddenly think your man is handsome?"

  She smiled and pushed him, "Don't be silly, go around and see if there is anything else you can gain?"

  Ye Yaodong was pushed by her and sat on the beach, not annoyed, he stood up with a smile and followed her, "You won a rare jewel, don't you want to reward me?"

Lin Xiuqing squinted at him, "Husband and wife are one, is there any problem with me keeping it? Besides, you seem to have forgotten that I picked up this snail... Ah, by the way, don't forget to take this coconut snail shell, keep it. Keep it as a memorial."

   "I picked it up, the shells were thrown into the sack, and the meat was still hanging on the scale. You take it with the scale, and take it back to fry at night. Adding food and luck."

"Um."

  He leaned close to her again, "Since you picked the snail, why don't I reward you?"

   "No, I refuse, I'm more realistic, just buy more seafood and reward me."

   "If you don't tell me, I will work hard to find some seafood. This is not a reward... Come, I will give you my reward..."

   "Go away... Are you annoying..."

   I wish you all a happy National Day! Have a nice trip!
