Chapter 1821 - 1820: Pearl
Mu Yeli just held her hand and walked along.
In front, fishermen were returning with their catch.
It was a very large boat.
This area doesn’t have many farming zones because seawater farming affects water quality, and since there are many tourist areas here, water quality impacts tourism quality. Therefore, coastal farming is prohibited, and these are deep-sea fishing vessels returning.
Ye Ning and Mu Yeli went to take a look, and a group of people went over to buy things.
Someone saw the couple and shouted, "Do you want to buy some? Freshly caught, hey, you’re pregnant, right? Eat more of this seafood, it’s fresh."
Upon hearing that, Ye Ning walked over.
Mu Yeli followed her.
The sun was very bright, so the two wore sunglasses when they went out.
The crewmen don’t really recognize people; they fish daily and don’t pay much attention to online news.
Looking at the couple, they seemed extraordinary, and their clothes were indeed extraordinary.
However, many celebrities come here on vacation, so it’s not unusual to have some impressive people visit.
Ye Ning walked over, "What are these?"
"Mussels, shells, look, this is a black-lipped oyster; it can grow pearls inside."
Ye Ning walked over, wanting to squat down to take a look, but her belly was a bit big.
Mu Yeli helped her squat down, and she looked at the shells on the ground, "It really grows pearls?"
The fisherman chuckled, "Naturally, they don’t grow so many. Some are farmed specifically for pearl cultivation, using these. Wild ones, if you find them, it’s not easy; this one’s so big, looks like it’s been growing for years. Maybe, just maybe, it has."
Ye Ning appeared quite interested, "Really? Then let me open it and see,"
Mu Yeli nodded and said to the owner, "We’ll buy this."
"Okay, okay, take a look."
Ye Ning wasn’t really hoping for a pearl, just curious to open it and see.
But opening the shell, to her surprise, the owner exclaimed from beside, "Oh wow, there’s really a pearl, look."
Ye Ning was a bit skeptical upon hearing this.
The owner leaned in, and a few young people behind curiously crowded closer.
"Is there really a pearl?"
"Really?"
It’s known that finding wild pearls isn’t easy.
And, the price is quite high.
The owner pointed to the middle, "See it? This is it."
After pulling the meat aside, there was indeed a small, very irregularly shaped pearl inside.
It didn’t look round at all and was quite bizarrely shaped.
"See it? Ocean pearls are like this, less round, more crooked."
Ye Ning exclaimed with surprise, "Wow, it really is."
"Yes, yes, Miss is very lucky; it’s very rare to get one of these. You instantly got one—such luck suggests you’ll have a healthy and beautiful baby."
The owner’s words were flattering, and Ye Ning smiled.
Mu Yeli also smiled from behind.
The owner said, "Shall I take it out for you, or would you like to keep it with the shell?"
A few young people at the back heard and thought, it’s getting taken away?
And how would the money be settled?
Just as they were about to speak, the owner glared back at them, refusing to mention money, instead packing the item for Ye Ning.
Ye Ning said, "Wow, it really has a pearl."
Mu Yeli smiled again and then turned to signal Mu Ba who was following.
Mu Ba nodded, watching Ye Ning and Mu Yeli leave before approaching.
"Boss, Madam is very happy; this is for you."
