Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 605 Scallops and Pearls

Now that the top-grade agarwood is so popular that it has a price but no market, Zhao Lei feels that he can completely cultivate the agarwood supply market in the gourd space.

In the gourd space full of aura, the animals and plants grow very well, and they can definitely produce the best agarwood, making Zhao Lei earn a lot of money.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lei was also a little eager to try, and asked Mahathir with a smile: "Is a tree like white incense tree very precious in Malaysia?"

"Acacia is not a rare tree species. Small saplings can be seen everywhere on the mountain." Mahathir told Zhao Lei: "However, there are very few Acacia that have grown for a long time and have already produced fragrance. As for the Acacia that produces high-quality agarwood Fragrance wood is even rarer, especially in recent years, so the top-grade agarwood will become more and more expensive."

"I see..." Zhao Lei nodded slightly, and then asked Mahathir: "Do you know where I can get saplings of Agarwood? I am a little interested in agarwood, and I want to get some saplings to try to plant."

Mahathir said with a smile: "It's not easy to get saplings. There are quite a few on the hillside behind the villa, which should be grown from the seeds of these two big trees. If you want saplings, I will find two people to go up the mountain to dig them." That's it."

Zhao Lei said happily: "This is really great, then I will trouble you!"

Mahathir's work was very efficient, and in the evening of the same day, he sent Zhao Lei more than a dozen white fragrant wood saplings.

Zhong Jiahong happened to be there too, and when he saw the saplings, he said unexpectedly: "This is white fragrant wood, Mr. Zhao, are you planning to cultivate agarwood?"

Zhao Lei said with a smile: "I'm just a little curious about agarwood. I just planted a few saplings for fun. I don't plan to cultivate them on a large scale."

Only then did Zhong Jiahong heave a sigh of relief, and seriously reminded Zhao Lei: "Although many people are planting white agarwood now, the artificially cultivated agarwood is always not as good as the wild agarwood, and they can't be sold at a good price. Farms grow fairy gourd vegetables. The profit is definitely far better than cultivating agarwood, we must not put the cart before the horse."

Knowing that Zhong Jiahong was doing it for the good of the farm, Zhao Lei didn't take his words seriously, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't affect the normal operation of the farm!"

That night, after all the farm workers got off work, Zhao Lei entered the Hulu Space with the saplings.After practicing the three pure mind methods as usual, he planted these dozen or so white fragrant wood saplings on the edge of the gourd space.

The gourd space is full of aura, these saplings will grow into big trees in a short time, and then there will be a small forest in the gourd space.

When these white fragrant trees grow into big trees, Zhao Lei can find a way to make these trees start to bear fragrance.The agarwood cultivated in the gourd space must be of extraordinary quality, and it can definitely be sold at a very high price.

And the money earned from selling agarwood can in turn promote the continued evolution of Zijin Gourd, forming a virtuous circle.

On the second day, Zhong Jiahong continued to lead the workers to plant sugarcane seedlings, and at the same time rice was planted, and everyone was very busy.Zhao Lei was the only one in the whole farm doing nothing, so he went to the beach to relax again.

Zhao Lei was pacing in the knee-high seawater, and accidentally found a scallop on the beach under the sea.This was also the first time he saw live scallops, so he quickly fished them up to see what happened.

This scallop is not small, bigger than Zhao Lei's palm.The brown surface texture is clear, and the two shells are tightly closed together, protecting the delicate shellfish inside.

But in front of Zhao Lei, the scallop's self-protection mechanism is not worth mentioning.He grabbed the shell of the scallop and gently bent it, the hard shell immediately shattered, exposing the shellfish inside.

However, Zhao Lei's attention was not on the shellfish, but something inside the shell that immediately caught his attention.

"What is this..." Zhao Lei picked out the thing that was a little bigger than mung bean, put it in his palm and looked at it carefully, and soon realized: "Pearl, this is a pearl!"

What Zhao Lei said was right, the gadget found in the shell of the scallop was indeed a genuine pearl.Although small in size, the surface has the unique luster of pearls.However, unlike the perfectly round pearl in Zhao Lei's impression, this pearl showed an irregular shape, no wonder he didn't recognize it at first.

This was the first time Zhao Lei found a pearl from a scallop. Although the pearl was not worth much at first glance, he was very pleasantly surprised.

Looking at the little pearl in his palm, Zhao Lei suddenly had an idea, thinking of what else to raise in the ocean of Gourd Space, isn't this scallop a good choice?
Not only can Zhao Lei use scallops to cultivate pearls, but the scallops themselves are also a kind of food.Especially the scallops in the scallops are very precious ingredients in both Chinese and Western food.

The scallops raised in the gourd space must be of very high quality.Even if pearls cannot be cultivated, the scallops alone can be sold for a good price, no matter how you look at it, you will not suffer a loss!

However, to raise scallops in the gourd space, Zhao Lei's catching scallops in the sea is definitely not enough. It is necessary to buy suitable seedlings.

When he got off work that day, Zhao Lei told Zhong Jiahong about his plan, and the latter said that there was a scallop farm dozens of kilometers to the south.

What made Zhao Lei even more happy was that Zhong Jiahong also told him that the farm also cultivated pearls.Zhao Lei can not only buy scallop seedlings, but also learn the technique of planting pearl cores into scallops, so that scallops can produce more pearls.

Since there was such a good thing, Zhao Lei certainly didn't hesitate, and drove the farm's old truck early the next morning to the scallop farm in the south.

Zhao Lei quickly found this large-scale breeding farm and met the owner Adula.

Adula is a native of the country, but fortunately he can speak some English, so it is not too difficult to communicate with Zhao Lei.

Knowing that Zhao Lei came to buy scallop seedlings, Adula was also very enthusiastic about him and introduced several specifications of scallop seedlings.From small scallops just formed with a diameter of only a few millimeters to sub-adult scallops with a diameter of more than five centimeters, it depends on how Zhao Lei chooses.

Considering that the main purpose of raising scallops is to cultivate pearls.If you buy a scallop that is too small, there is no way to implant the pearl nucleus immediately, so he would rather pay more and buy the largest scallop.

Zhao Lei's decision made Adula very happy. After all, the bigger the scallop, the higher the price. As the owner of the farm, he can also earn more money.

After some haggling, the two agreed that the price of each scallop was one dollar, and Zhao Lei bought a total of three thousand scallops, which was three thousand dollars in total.

After confirming the price, Zhao Lei proposed to learn the technique of growing pearl cores.However, after hearing this request, Adura showed embarrassment, as if he was not willing to pass on this technology to Zhao Lei.
