Fields of Gold

Chapter 553 Pearl Collection Competition

At this time, the red coral is regarded as the object of Cheung Rui happiness, representing noble power, so also known as "Rui Bao”, a symbol of happiness and eternity. Little Grass had heard that when the princess of the previous dynasty married, the royal family married a red coral with a height of more than one person, worth a lot of money, leading to the envy of countless power gates. A brightly colored, bright red coral like this is probably top notch, right?

With the help of the skystone, Yu Xiaograss cut down the beautiful red coral and slowly dragged it back to shore. Fortunately, the water is buoyant, with the help of a little dolphin, otherwise this coral is about to catch her height, and she really doesn't know if she can get it back.

The coral was dragged ashore with the help of its sisters. A bunch of ladies and girls were amazed. Why have they ever seen a coral so big, cut so red?

He wandered around the coral with surprise and laughed twice: "Sister Grass, you are so lucky that you met such a wonderful red coral. You skinny, scratchy little body, how did you drag it up? ”

Li Mengqi also knows how precious the red coral is. Her old lady had a red coral to accompany her, but it was two feet tall, but she hid it as a treasure, afraid that someone else would break it.

Yu Qingqing delicately showed the coral bead string on her wrist to others. “On my birthday, Mother gave me a string of red pearl bracelets. The colour is not as beautiful as this one. I heard it cost thousands of taels! Sister Yu, you coral, how many strings of beads have to be milled!! ”

He Zhuang gave it to the back of her head and, despite her grievance, rejected the phrase: “Do you know how rare an entire coral is? If, as you say, it is divided into pieces, it is the heavenly creature of tyranny! Grass, you can't be so confused and greedy! ”

Yuan Xueyan thought more deeply and asked: "Little Grass sister, this coral is worth a lot of money, what do you want to do about it?” It is said to be a sin, such a precious thing will only attract Xiao Xiao Xiao.

Yu Xiaoxue heard what she might mean and didn't even think about it. She replied: "At the end of next month, isn't it the birthday of the Emperor's mother-in-law? The emperor and queen are so kind to me, I have nothing to give back. This coral should be given as a birthday gift to the Queen! ”

In her view, Xiaograss, although sealed off by the county owner, could match the true royal relatives of the Yangxian King. If, at the time of the marriage, there was so much worth of dowry, those tongue-length guys, wouldn't they be able to say anything? But now I want to give it to someone else so she can feel the pain.

"No wonder the Emperor and Queen like you so much, you little girl, you're such a good kisser. Such a precious item, just give it away! However, you have to be prepared. Your gift is so precious, it will inevitably make some people uncomfortable. You're a disguised offender! ”

Yu Xiaograss thought about it. He rushed over and hugged the Minghlan County Master. "Thank you, Sister Minghlan, for reminding me otherwise, I really did something stupid to provoke myself!! ”

“Go, go! Stay away from me, ah - my clothes are all wet by you, this was easily asked from everyone from Jiang she made herself embroidered!! Look, you got it all dirty!” The Mindanao County Master was rubbed by her in the sea and she jumped on her feet with impatience. What did she do? I knew I wouldn't mention that little girl!!

Yu Xiaograss laughed and hid from her little hand, hippie smiled and said: “Sister Ming Lan, I'll just wash it for you when I get back. If it's broken, I'll pay you one! I've just made a set this year and haven't worn it yet...”

“Just your little body? Do I dress like a monkey to show people?” The Mindanao County lord pushed the weed down the reef, looking at the splashing of the splash and relieving the depression in her heart.

Yu Xiaograss stroked his limbs in the sea water, swimming leisurely back and not forgetting to provoke Minghlan County master with his teeth in his mouth. The Mindanao County master looked at her temper, but after knowing her, he knew that she was a paper tiger and that she was broken as soon as she stabbed her!

When the night spread across the beach, the little girls returned to the village with a fruitful harvest. The tall red coral was brought back to the courtyard by Chunhua and Autumn through the night.

On their return journey, they met the Ning brothers, who had not returned for a long time, and three half-sized teenagers. Seeing this red coral through the moonlight, Ningdong Huanhuan's eyeballs are about to stare out. Such a big coral? Little Grass is so rich!!

Without waiting for him to figure out how to buy the coral from Little Grass, Little Grass had been invited by Lu Hao. The task of escorting this red coral back to Beijing is in the hands of the Yulin Guards. She decided to quietly dedicate the coral to the Emperor, which had nothing to do with her.

These young ladies and gentlemen, having fun in Dongshan Village for a few days, ate all the precious seafood flavors, Liu's authentic seafood cooking skills, and conquered them. Garlic lobster, sea cucumber chicken soup, crispy pepper salted abalone, scallops in sauce, spicy skinned shrimp... they don't even want to leave Dongshan Village.

However, Dongshan Village is better, they will eventually return to the capital. Just as they were preparing to make their way home, Tang Gu suddenly broke the news that they were going to hold a bead rally. It is said that the first place, in addition to having a high bonus, can be sealed, although it is only a seven-class casual position, which is no less than a huge temptation for fishermen and pearl collectors!

Needless to say, Yangxian Wang advertised well, and even small fishing villages a few hundred miles away, people came to sign up to participate. There is no fee to enroll anyway, and even if you don't get a title, there is no significant loss. Give it a try, maybe the god of luck will see it on his head?

Many fishermen with good diving skills signed up to participate, not to mention pearl collectors with experience in pearl harvesting! Surprisingly, there are several women who have signed up. Indeed, the legendary profession of Pearl Collector still exists.

Dongshan Village wants to say that the water quality is good, the first thing to do is count the sea. However, he is not very interested in the competition because he is rich and has official duties. Several newborn calves were not afraid of tigers, but signed up behind their backs. Little Grass didn't know until the day the competition started, so Zhuang Xiaomo also secretly signed up to participate.

Zhuang Xiaomo's diving skills are better than Little Grass's dad Yuhai's. The old man who had adopted him was said to have been a famous local pearl collector when he was younger. Later, when there was a physical problem, he quit and became an ordinary fisherman.

Although he did not want his grandson to repeat his mistakes, he did not want to lose his precious experience in collecting beads for more than a decade. He passed them on continuously to Zhuang Xiaomo in the middle of the tangle. Zhuang Xiaomo also followed his grandfather's instructions and did not follow the dangerous pearl harvester's old path, but he believed that both diving and pearl harvesting skills were much better than ordinary pearl harvesters.

Zhuang Xiaomo, who likes Xiaolian, has always been in a state of inferiority, afraid that her identity is not suitable for her, afraid that she will look like someone better than herself. Therefore, Zhuang Xiao Min has always had a knot in his heart, hoping that he can work hard to find a place worthy of Xiaolian's birth.

This opportunity is rare for him. If he really wins the first prize, he can sell Xiaolian a courtyard in Beijing. Although he can't catch up with Xiaograss, there is at least a place in Beijing to set foot.

Seventh grade officials, although not very powerful, after all, can get rid of the muddy leg identity and become the highest first class of the Shi Nong industry and commerce. By the time he gets to the rest of the family, the waistplate will be more straight, and when he promises Xiaolian happiness, he will be more rational and uplifted.

Until the day the Pearl Festival began, I followed my little sister to gather a lively little lotus, and when I found that familiar figure in the crowd, my heart suddenly panicked. She has lived by the sea for many years, and naturally has heard the stories of pearl gatherers from older generations.

The pearl hunting profession sounds like a “money trail”, but who knows the hardships and hardships? And who knows that every round, crystalline pearl is bought by pearl collectors in exchange for their own health or even their lives?

Smoky ocean, calm and waveless on the surface, mysteriously unpredictable seabed, trenches, thick reefs, dark streams and swirls. Far more than that, there are venomous sea snakes lurking in the seams of the reef, venomous sea stings floating in the waters, and fierce sharks cruising their territory in groups.

To harvest pearls that live more than 10 metres or even dozens of metres deep, pearl harvesters are not only exposed to the tremendous pressure of seawater, but are also at risk of being swept away by dark currents and swallowed up by vortexes, as well as being alert to attacks by dangerous marine life.

So when Zhuang Xiaomo greeted Brother Jiang for a few empty slots on the boat, Yu Xiaolian rushed over and shouted indiscriminately: “Zhuang Xiaomo, who asked you to sign up? You don't know how dangerous it is to harvest beads. Why risk your life? Are you really that short of money? You don't even care about your life for money? ”

“Hey, hey! Little girl, can you say something nice?” Zhuang Xiaomo hasn't said anything yet, the black man in the next door is unhappy, like doing their job, most taboo people say it's dangerous, it's dead! Isn't that a curse?

Zhuang Xiaomo smiled at him with regret and turned to Xiaolian. “It's okay, Brother Jiang and I are going to try our hand. If we don't go far away, we'll just go around for a few laps. Anyway, it's not expensive to sign up for such a grand event, so consider it an experience. Don't worry, I value my life more than you, it won't be easy to risk it! ”

The line in his heart is, "If I lose my life in the ocean, won't it be cheap for those bastards who look down on you?"
