Sea-hunting system: I became rich by fishing at sea
Chapter 159 Opening the Clam
As soon as the grandfather and his two grandchildren returned from the Temple of Poseidon, they smelled a strong fragrance coming from the kitchen.
When Chen Zhiyao walked into the kitchen, Yan Shuting had just opened the lid of the casserole, which contained fish head stewed with tofu.
The milky white soup paired with the old tofu that has absorbed the soup looks fresh and fragrant, and is very tempting.
The 4-pound grouper she brought back was too big to be steamed directly, so Yan Shuting cooked it in two ways.
The fish head was used to stew tofu, the fish body was steamed directly, and some choy sum with garlic was also stir-fried.
Together with the roast goose and barbecued pork that Chen Zhiyao packed back, the dinner was very sumptuous.
Even Ah Huang's dinner consisted of rice mixed with rippled grouper meat, and he enjoyed a delicious meal.
After eating and drinking, Chen Zhiyao mysteriously took out the two pearl oysters she had picked up on the rocky beach today.
"Wow, this clam is quite big. The meat must be old. I guess it's hard to chew it."
Yan Shuting had never seen pearl oysters before, and thought they were large clams that could be eaten.
It was the knowledgeable Grandma Chen who explained to her: "This is not a sea clam for eating, it's a pearl clam."
Yan Shuting immediately became interested. "It's a pearl oyster. Tangtang, open it and see if there are any small pearls inside."
Although there are many seafood farmers in the nearby villages, none of them raise pearl oysters.
Moreover, this thing is not common when going to the sea, so everyone gathered around her curiously to watch her open the clams.
One clam had already been opened during the day, and this time it was very smooth. Chen Zhiyao opened the clam and released a huge pearl in just a few moves.
"So many pearls, and they look quite symmetrical." After the clam was opened, Chen Zhiyao was immediately amazed.
Each of the pearls here looks very round. Although they are not particularly big, they are about the same size and are probably enough to make a pearl bracelet.
The people around were also shocked. They didn't expect there would be so many pearls inside.
Under everyone's expectant gaze, Chen Zhiyao began to pick out the small pearl button inside.
After the first pearl was squeezed out, she couldn't help but exclaimed:
"How beautiful! It's pink."
Small pink pearls
This pink little pearl looks so dreamy that she fell in love with it at first sight.
However, there are not many pink pearls, only six in total, and the remaining 20 or so are basically the common milky white color.
Seeing that her daughter had no place to put the little pearls, Yan Shuting quickly went to the kitchen and got out a white ceramic bowl.
After putting away the twenty or thirty cute little pearls in her hand, Chen Zhiyao couldn't wait to open the second pearl oyster.
There were not many pearls in the second pearl oyster, only five in total, but each one was very large.
Two of them were large pale yellow pearls, as big as her thumb nails.
Moreover, these two pearls are very round and beautiful, and she thinks they are very suitable to be used as pendants in a necklace.
The remaining three small pearls are of average size and are also the common milky white color.
Looking at these pretty little pearls in the bowl, Chen Zhiyao has already figured out how to turn them into beautiful jewelry.
Pink pearls are dreamy and girly and are suitable for young people to wear.
She planned to make three pairs of earrings, one for herself and the other two for her two best friends.
Two large light yellow pearls can be made into pendants, and then into two necklaces, one for grandma and one for mom.
There is a craftsman in their village who specializes in making silver jewelry. The silver jewelry he makes, whether it is earrings, necklaces or bracelets, are all very beautiful.
She planned to take the pearls and pay him extra money to have them made into a silver necklace with pearl pendants and pearl earrings.
As for the remaining milky white pearls, I guess I can make another pearl bracelet.
What worries me is not poverty but injustice. I only have one bracelet, and whether I give it to my grandmother or my mother, it would be difficult to explain the other one.
As a master of keeping a balance, Chen Zhiyao planned to keep it for herself.
After washing the little pearls, she looked at the time and saw that it was only 8 o'clock.
Most people in the village make a living by fishing, catching seafood or farming seafood, and usually have dinner late.
At this time, people usually just finished dinner, so she hurriedly took the newly opened pearls and excitedly went to the home of Master Fang, who made silver jewelry.
Yan Shuting liked to join in the fun, so she happily followed her daughter out.
Master Fang’s home is right next to the convenience store. As soon as you enter the door, there is a small shop with many unique styles of silver jewelry on display.
Although gold is a good way to preserve its value, it is too conspicuous to carry around and can easily attract thieves.
Therefore, people in the village rarely wear gold jewelry.
The two big gold bracelets that Chen Zhiyao gave them last time, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law only took them out to look at them from time to time, and never took them outside.
The jewelry made by Master Fang is of high quality and low price, and has become the first choice of many people in the village.
When the mother and daughter came over, there was still someone looking at jewelry in Fang's jewelry store, but as soon as they arrived, that person went back.
Chen Zhiyao and Yan Shuting each picked out a simple and plain silver necklace.
Then Chen Zhiyao took out the pink pearls and yellow pearls that she had selected in advance.
Knowing that the two wanted to use the pearls to make pendants, three pairs of earrings and two necklaces, Master Fang happily agreed.
In addition to the money from the jewelry, he can also earn extra money from handicrafts.
The three of them discussed for a long time in the shop and finally agreed on the styles of the necklace and earrings.
Because there are so many things, it takes Master Fang three or four days to finish them.
When they returned, both mother and daughter were very excited, wondering how good the finished product would be.
As for the remaining pearls, Chen Zhiyao plans to buy a hole puncher online and punch the holes herself to make a bracelet.
When she got home, she looked at the remaining pearls and murmured:
"There are still a few pearls left, so it would be nice to buy a few pearl oysters online."
Chen Zhiyao usually likes to watch bloggers’ videos of opening clams, and she has always been eager to give it a try.
The price of this pearl oyster is not expensive, you can buy three or four for 100 yuan.
The three pearl oysters opened today all had good harvests. Chen Zhiyao plans to buy a few online to have fun with. Maybe she can open a few more beautiful big pearls.
Chen Zhiyao immediately downloaded a pearl puncher from the Internet and spent 100 yuan to buy three pearl oysters.
She was going to go deep-sea fishing in a few days, and she had specially picked a store in the city.
Tomorrow is the day when the tide goes out. After turning off her cell phone, Chen Zhiyao fell asleep early listening to the sound of the waves.
