Jianbao life

Chapter 213
Li Heng turned his head and saw that Lin Weiya was smiling at him.

Lin Weiya was still dressed as neatly as she had gone hiking with him a few days ago, but there was a fresh fragrance coming out of her clothes. Maybe she had already called the hotel's laundry service to wash them quickly.

I don't know if it's the fragrance of washing powder or Lin Weiya's body, but the sea breeze blowing from the sea carries a faint fragrance of Lin Weiya's body.

Smelling that fragrance, Li Heng couldn't help but blush. Hearing this, he was a little embarrassed: "I drank too much yesterday..."

"Alright," Lin Weiya brushed her hair and said, "Let's go!"

Lin Weiya's goal is also very simple, to choose a main bead for herself to match.

After all, no woman is born with no resistance to beautiful things, especially a career woman like Lin Weiya, if she doesn't have a good jewelry, it is not suitable to go to many occasions.

Of course, jewelry beauties are born to be a perfect match, but they definitely can’t be determined by just choosing them casually.

Lin Weiya has very high requirements for her own taste and aesthetics. If she wants to talk about being low-key and yet connotative, she has to talk about pearls.

The moist luster and texture of the pearl itself neutralized Lin Weiya's arrogance and added a bit of femininity.

After visiting more than a dozen houses in a row, Li Heng felt that his feet were no longer his, but Lin Weiya was still in high spirits and looked at Pearl with great interest.

Lin Weiya was accompanied by the proprietress to watch the pearls, while Li Heng chatted with the boss next to her.

"I said, young man, do you want to buy pearls for your girlfriend?" The boss knocked on the melon seeds and said, "You came at a bad time, there is still half a year before the pearling season, and you don't have any good products when you come now, so it's better to count on it." New arrivals for next year."

Li Heng blushed when he heard about his girlfriend: "...No, I..."

"Oh, young man. Now that our minds are open, sibling love is not shameful, as long as our hearts are connected." The boss thought Li Heng was shy, and waved his hands indifferently: "My wife and I are also sisters. Brother Lian, don't you see that the two of us are having a good time?"

Looking at the proprietress talking and laughing with Lin Weiya over there, she looked really happy.

Li Heng was speechless in an instant. He could only nod his head and quickly changed the subject: "Do you still have a farm here?"

"Yes, the area near the sea is all there." The boss pointed in one direction and said. "It's not too far to walk there. It takes about 10 minutes to walk there."

Li Heng followed this topic and chatted with the boss for a while, and the conversation didn't end until Lin Weiya finished picking out some goods.

After chatting with the boss, Li Heng learned that the entire pearl industry in Jingdao is controlled by a few local buyers of bare pearls, and small merchants in many places get their goods from them.

If the next merchants can't meet Lin Weiya's shopping needs, then they can only try their luck with farmers. Although the pearl picking season is over now, there should be a few merchants who still have a few. Pearl oysters are reserved for an activity called gambling pearls.

Li Heng and Lin Weiya asked for directions while walking.

Fortunately, the road to the pearl farm will not be full of twists and turns, as the boss said, it only takes more than 20 minutes to reach the place.

This farm is located on the other side of the beach. Ordinary tourists still don't come here. Only men and women who are keen on gambling pearls will come here to play this kind of activity called pearl gambling.

There are hundreds of acres here, and a large net bag is densely covered along the beach, and there are several boating workers working on it.

Li Heng passed by a fishing boat that had just finished working, stretched his neck slightly and glanced over there, and saw that the beach was full of net bags, and most of them contained palm-sized pearl mussels.

Not far away, there are several small one-story houses covered with white tiles, and a signboard saying "Gambling Pearl Pavilion" is hung on it.

From time to time, fashionably dressed men and women come and go with pearls in the wide open doorway. It seems that this place is probably the place where the boss said he would gamble on pearls.

"It's really strange. I've only heard of betting on stones, betting on wood, and betting on crystals. I've never heard of betting on pearls." Lin Weiya was aroused, and turned to Li Heng and said, "Let's go in. have a look?"

Even if Lin Weiya didn't greet him, he was still interested, so he nodded and agreed.

A man and a woman walked over there first and watched the excitement for a while, but after a few minutes, they understood.

It is really the same as those commonly seen gambling stones, gambling trees and the like.

They all pay attention to the word "gambling", but betting on stones and wood is based on a basis, and there is a place to start research.But like pearls, they grow in pearl oysters. Before the oyster is opened, no one knows how many pearls will be inside and what kind of pearls will be produced, so luck is a big part of it.

Fortunately, compared with other bets on stones and wood, the risk of betting on pearls is lower, and it will not make you poor and rich, so there are still more enthusiastic people.

However, within a few minutes of them watching and watching, the people inside had opened a total of more than a dozen pearl oysters, ranging in size, but none of them could win the bet. They could only make pearl powder or small things. condition and size.

But there were still people who were not willing to gamble on something with this appearance, and went on to buy several pearl clams.

It seems that the owner of this "Pearl Gambling Pavilion" obviously took advantage of the crowd's gambler mentality and opened this pearl gambling shop.

Someone over there greeted and said: "Let's take a look, these are freshly picked pearl oysters, you can choose whatever you want, if you win the bet, you are lucky, if you are not lucky, you can sell it to small merchants ah."

After watching for a while, Li Heng also became interested.He stood in front of the booth to pick and choose, and quickly picked out a fat pearl oyster, held it up and asked, "How much is this?"

"Your one costs 500 yuan. We charge based on size here. There are smaller ones over there that are not expensive. You can buy them for more than 100 or 200 yuan." The guy over there took a look and said, finally Another reminder: "Your pearl mussels look good. Boss, you have a good taste. They will definitely produce good products."

When Li Heng heard the words, he thought to himself, it's really cheap.

But this guy is just a thief, he doesn't say whether he will lose the bet inside, but he keeps praising him, and he will spend some money to gamble on his luck when he makes people happy.

When she was about to take out the money, Lin Weiya stopped her with her hand: "Why do you still want to participate in this kind of gambling, what if you lose money?"
