Power and Wealth

... time suddenly backs off!

“Son, how's it going with you? ”

“Boss, I didn't drive a few 1.4, max one 1.3 cm. ”

“Well, 1.3 is fine, 1.4 and above is still lucky. ”

The boss and the worker opened the bend and spoke. After the black-faced worker handed the one he had just opened to another person responsible for picking up the pearl classification, he raised his hand and took it again. He took a very thick and fat pearl bend into his hand. Dong Xuebin, who had returned from the previous period, could see which bend it was. He hurriedly went up and stopped him. “Wait a minute! Don't open it yet! How much is this mussel? I want it!”

The boss looked at him and looked at the mussel, “You want one? ”

Dong Xuebin shouted, “I have to look at the rest, first one. ”

When the boss thought about it, he stopped and shook his head with a rusty kitchen knife: “This mussel is fat. If there are good beads, they will definitely come out with this fat mussel. If you want one, you won't sell it.” The fat word is their technical term, referring to thickness, generally the thicker the pearl in the clam, the bigger, “Second Son, keep driving. ”

“Wait, wait, wait!” How can Dong Xuebin let him drive? “How about 5,000? ”

This is the normal price, the boss still shakes his head.

Dong Xuebin frowned and hesitated, "… 6,000 bar, at most! ”

The black-faced worker looked at the owner, he thought the price was already very high, even if the 1.1cm pearl was opened, the $6,000 would have to be compensated. The 1.1cm pearl would not be worth much more than 6,000. Of course, if the dog could walk out and transport more than 1.5cm of pearl, the value would have to be at least a dozen times more than twenty times or even more than the 1.1cm pearl, but the probability of giving more than 1.4cm of pearl was really low, how could he have caught up so coincidentally?

The boss thought the same idea. After all these years of playing with pearls, he has not been able to figure out the law based on experience. Knowing that the kid from outside must also be bluffing, hesitating and hesitating, he said: "Okay, 6,000 is 6,000.” If they don't make money, they charge 6,000 more mussels, their cost will be greatly reduced. Why not?

Dong Xuebin said: “I have to buy it later, why don't we settle the bill together? ”

The boss said, "Well, now I'm going to open your mussels? ”

“No, I'll take it back and drive it myself, you keep going.” Dong Xuebin would not drive in front of them, otherwise it would be suspicious. He took the wet mussel from the black-faced worker and held it in his hand. He couldn't help but enjoy himself. He asked the brother next to him for a big net pocket. You've got one of the pearls in the pearl necklace, but it's almost time to put together the necklace. Nine times and nine minutes left, maybe the back won't be enough?

I was thinking, suddenly there was a voice from the farm owner in my ear, "Yo, I got a big one here! ”

Dong Xuebin looked at the past, only the gray white clam shell revealed a huge pearl, see how the size must be bigger than the one he had just obtained. Turns out, the owner took a small instrument and it showed 1.7cm. Good guy, not a hundred such large beads can come out of a clam!

The boss laughed, “Good luck! This is unusual! ”

Dong Xuebin took a deep breath, here he comes again!

back!!

... the scene flashed!

The boss looked at Dong Xuebin with a serious smile, “Well, now I'm going to open your bell? ”

Back when Dong Xuebin had just bought the pearl bell, “No, I'll take it back and open it myself.” He quickly picked up the pearl bell and put it in the net pocket again, and didn't wait for the boss and the black-faced worker to open the bell again. “Wait a minute, yeah, just this under your feet. I'll take this, or 6,000?” Dong Xuebin glanced at the fat pearl clam with gray and white skin.

The boss stunned and lowered his head to pick it up, "This? ”

Dong Xuebin said yes, reached out and put it in the net pocket.

The boss was strange, but he didn't say anything. He took a good look at the worker and the two continued to open their mussels.

Twenty... thirty... one or more large or small pearls were placed in a plastic basin, almost filled.

These dozens of mussels also produced three or four 1.4cm and 1.5cm pearls, but Dong Xuebin didn't have to go back. Perhaps the cultivation method is different. Perhaps there are other factors influencing it. Three of the pearls opened are pure white white pearls, which are not compatible with the two gold pearls in Dong Xuebin's hand. Therefore, Dong Xuebin, who is aiming at a perfect necklace, had to abandon them. He only stared at a little bigger gold pearl, while the other 1.4cm was gold pearl, but the shape was irregular, not very round and unsatisfactory, and Dong Xuebin did not want it.

Forty... fifty... It's been an hour since the clam was opened. The boss threw this open clam in his hand and said strangely: “Dozens of them? This batch of white pearls is okay, how come the gold pearls haven't even come out with a good quality 1.4cm? Should there be one for bad luck? ”

"There's plenty left," said the worker. "It should be here soon. ”

The boss twisted his eyebrow and picked up the next mussel, the knife cut a gap, clicked on the open mussel shell, flipped it, picked it up, touched it, looked for it, suddenly, the boss's eyes lit up, "There it is! Hey, that was it!” Looking at this golden sparkling bead in front of me, the boss has a 1.5cm visual.

As soon as Dong Xuebin looked at it, he was going to yell back.

However, the b-letter syllable just came out of his mouth, and the boss said, “Oops! There's another one in there!” Dong Xuebin quickly shut up and glanced at him. One pearl in a pearl mussel could produce a large pearl. The odds of two are negligible!

“… hey, this also has a 1.4 cm! ”

Having seen two gold pearls without flaws, Dong Xuebin no longer hesitated, back!!

… time flies back!

“Dozens, right? This batch of white pearls is okay, how come the gold pearls haven't even come out with a good quality 1.4cm? Should there be one for bad luck? ”

“There's more, it should be soon. ”

Dong Xuebin coughed, stepped on the mud and walked forward. He bent over and grabbed the muddy pearl bend step by step. “Boss, I took this, still 6,000. ”

The boss glanced at him and nodded in a different direction. He grabbed another pearl mussel and slapped it down. Yes, it was still the usual gold pearl. There was no such thing as a pearl that could make a high-end jewelry necklace. What's going on here? Too bad luck today? Or is it not ideal to grow your own gold pearls? No, I picked a few out a while ago and gave them 1.5cm gold pearls! Holy shit!

For the next hour.

- Back!

“Boss, I'll take this. ”

back!

“Give me this, not this, that, right. ”

- Back!

“That's 6,000, too, right? Okay, I'll give you the money at the end. ”

back!

“Eh, give me this too. ”

In the end, Dong Xuebin's only ten backs were used nine times, and he already has nine pearl clams in his net pocket. According to the previous observation, there are eleven gold pearls in these clams, ranging from 1.4cm to 1.7cm - of which two pearl clams have more than 1.4cm pearls. Now the rest of the back is only once, Dong Xuebin is not in a hurry to do it. Last chance, always wait for a big one, not to mention 1.7cm, at least wait for a mussel to come out with two big pearls.

Wait, wait, wait.

A 1.5cm golden pearl came out - Dong Xuebin didn't do it.

A 1.6cm golden pearl came out - Dong Xuebin still didn't do it.

A 1.3cm and 1.5cm came out - Dong Xuebin sang for a moment, still didn't do it.

Just leave some good pearls for his boss, or he'll be suspicious.

200 mussels… 250 mussels… The more pearls open, the more the four large pots can't be loaded, the worker brings out two more pots from the back door, of course, good pearls they don't put in a plastic pot, but a special bag.

Look at the table, it's 2: 40 PM, just as Dong Xuebin wondered if waiting for a 1.6cm back is over, the call will come back!

The black-faced worker exclaimed excitedly: "Boss! This mussel is amazing! Three big ones! ”

“Three?” Dong Xuebin and the boss were both in the same place. “How much? ”

“A 1.6 cm! Two 1.5cm!” The black-faced worker showed them the beads, "they were quite full, no pits! ”

Don't say Dong Xuebin, this kind of three pearls more than 1.5cm bend, even the boss rarely saw it, he put down the knife in his hand just to look fresh, suddenly, touch the hand in the bend felt what, the boss footed, bowed his head to put down the pearl bend a little tighter, Ta, thumb picked, it was actually a 1.5cm pearl from inside, “Hey, I'm also a good one. ”

Dong Xuebin was excited when he saw the situation!

Do you have to think about it? Shout back now!

… the scene in front of me has changed!

The next moment, Dong Xuebin saw that the boss and the black-faced worker had lifted the knife to open the mussels!

Dong Xuebin looked anxious and reached out: “Don't open it yet! Hold on, hold on! Don't open it! ”

The boss and the black-faced worker were interrupted by him, and they all looked at him, “… What's wrong? ”

I caught up, “Whoo, this and this, yeah, I'll take these too.” Without waiting for the two of them to say anything, Dong Xuebin went to get the clam in his hand without saying a word!

All ok!!
