"Master, I, I want..." Nicole said intermittently and embarrassedly in HAD's ear, "Go to the toilet."
"Uh..." HAD was stunned, the corners of his eyes twitched, he couldn't laugh or cry, he quickly embraced Nicole with both arms, turned his head and said to Maoer Niang, "Mina, please pay New Year's greetings to everyone for me."
"Yes." Mina said with a strange expression. She also heard what Nicole said, and suppressed a smile. She didn't expect that Nicole would have a day of embarrassment.
HAD didn't care what other people thought, and strode towards the castle with Nicole in his arms. He looked down at Nicole with red cheeks, and said helplessly, "You can wake me up."
"I..." Nicole was so ashamed that she couldn't speak, and could only bury her face in the young master's arms, which was really a bit embarrassing.
"Really..." HAD smiled wryly. The girl couldn't bear to wake him up, so she did such a pitiable thing.
HAD thinks of the girls on the other side of the earth, the innocence is too little, and the stupidity may be gone. When encountering such a thing, I'm afraid I'll slap you to death, why sleep?The old lady needs to go to the toilet.
"Here we are, go in quickly." HAD came to the toilet of the castle and put down Nicole quickly.
"Yeah." Nicole made a sound that was smaller than a mosquito, and ran into the toilet with a blushing face. It was so embarrassing.
"Huh..." HAD exhaled lightly. It was the voice from inside that made him feel strange.
"Happy New Year!!!"
Suddenly there was a shout from outside, like the waves of the sea, louder than louder.
"The new year is here." HAD smiled lightly, and glanced at his watch. It was exactly twelve o'clock, and his new year in another world had begun.
"Shh!"
"Ta Tata..."
Nicole covered her face, ran out of the toilet, and slipped away so quickly, it was so embarrassing, she was a little afraid to face the young master now.
"Really..." HAD looked at Nicole's back running in embarrassment. Embarrassing things happened in the New Year, and he couldn't help laughing, "Days will only get better and better."
"Aha!"
"I'm still a little sleepy." HAD walked towards his room. In the few days since the new year is easy, he will start to be busy with the water supply project and the city expansion plan.
"Just a few more people to help."
HAD's muttering words came from the corridor, making the maids on guard look at each other in dismay.
"Your City Lord is really hardworking."
"Yeah, everyone is on vacation, and the city owner is still concerned about the territory."
Chapter 0518 build a bridge on the Youshui River?
In the early morning, around eight o'clock, the streets are full of people coming and going.
"The newspaper is sold, the newspaper is sold, good news for the New Year, good news." Ale shouted around with the newspaper, with a smile on his face, he was very happy and full these days.
He sells newspapers in the morning and at noon, and at night he goes to Mr. Buff's night hall to learn how to read. He can already write his own name, and he can eat enough and clothe himself warmly. The next step is to save money to buy a house.
"The newspaper is sold, good news for the New Year, and the city owner has written blessings to everyone." Ale waved the newspaper and shouted.
"Newspaper seller, give me a newspaper." Tori shouted, holding two steel coins in his hand, the change for buying buns.
Now in Sheba City, those who are a little richer will buy a newspaper early in the morning, and then spend the whole day discussing things in the newspaper. It is really difficult to get involved in other people's conversations without buying a newspaper.
"Okay, sir, your newspaper." Ale immediately handed over the newspaper.
Tori took the newspaper and opened it to look. The political news said Happy New Year, and some New Year's etiquette. Amount suggestions, etc.
"Huh? This is interesting, give red envelopes to juniors, then go to Mr. Solo's house tonight, do you want to give red envelopes to Geer? Ten copper coins should be about the same? Just treat it as pocket money." Tori chuckled.
"Pasting door couplets on both sides of the door of the house can actually exorcise evil spirits? The word "Fu" is pasted upside down, which means that blessing has arrived? Is this okay?" Tori was shocked, and then nodded seriously, "Since the Lord City Lord has also posted it, then I will buy a few too. Come and paste it."
Tori walked according to the address recorded in the newspaper, and read the newspaper while walking. He continued to read, and there were many political news, but the last one made Tori's eyes widen, and he said in astonishment, "Building a bridge on the Youshui River, Almost finished? Is this a joke?"
He had heard about the construction of the bridge over the Youshui River for a long time. He heard that it was under construction a month or two ago, but he didn't take it seriously at all, thinking that it was just the words of the city lord.
"After the New Year, the Youshui Pontoon Bridge will be officially opened. The land across the Youshui River is fertile. Please prepare for land reclamation. You only need to pay % of the grain tax in the first year of land reclamation, and % of the grain tax in the second year. Only pay % of the food tax in the third year." Tori muttered softly, he was surprised by the policy issued by the city lord, and he was really kind to these commoners.
He was thinking about whether to hire civilians to open up wasteland and grow wheat. After all, this is also a way of making money, but the next piece of political news made Tori dispel this idea.
"The city lord's mansion needs a lot of manpower to open up wasteland. The monthly salary is copper coins. Please sign up in three days."
Now that Tori knows, the city lord is making another big move. Could it be that he wants to recruit people to grow their own food?
"Huh? This advertisement was actually accepted by this store. I heard that it costs one silver coin a day now, so I'm really willing to do it."
"..."
Princess Lucy and Jones stood by the side of the avenue, watching the nagging fat man go away, and couldn't help being curious about the newspaper.
"Jones, do we want to buy a copy?" Princess Lucy asked curiously. They went after the end of last night. The two slept soundly and went out for a stroll early in the morning.
"Buy." Jones walked directly to the yelling boy, and under the timid eyes of the boy, handed over two steel coins and took a newspaper.
Ale pursed his lips, held the steel coin tightly and ran away. That woman is so cold, colder than Miss Mina who is beside the Lord.
"Jones, you scared him." Princess Lucy scolded, her golden eyes were full of smiles as she looked at the boy going away, and reached out to take the newspaper handed over by Leopard-Er Niang.
"..." Jones was speechless, her character was like this, and she was frightened by this, which showed that the other party was timid.
"This is a newspaper? It's incredible." Princess Lucy's golden eyes trembled, and she opened her mouth to look at the words on the newspaper. She only glanced around and found that the newspaper was definitely not written by hand.
Because it is handwritten, it is impossible to have no typos in the whole article, and more importantly, the font gaps in this newspaper are all neat and tidy.
Jones just glanced at the newspaper and stopped paying attention. She was not interested in words at all, but the smell of meat in the air made her very interested.
"It's not handwritten, how did this word come from?" Princess Lucy frowned and thought about it. This kind of technology made her very jealous. After all, all the novels she published were copied by hand. The novels copied in this way Lots of typos.
Princess Lucy thought how wonderful it would be if a thousand books of her novels could be produced according to this technology, and everyone could read her novels.
This should be made by the city lord, do you want to ask him?Princess Lucy thought for a while, then shook her head, putting this thought aside for the time being.
"Conscription? What is this?" Princess Lucy frowned and looked at the newspaper seriously. She didn't understand the word very well, and continued to read, "It is required to be able to swim, be familiar with water, be physically strong, aged 15 to 30, and have a monthly salary of A copper coin."
"It should be the fleet guard." Jones said lightly.
"Jones, do you read this political news? A bridge is being built over the Youshui River, and it's almost finished. Are you kidding me?" Princess Lucy pointed to the last political news with a chuckle.
"Whimsical." Jones was stunned for a moment, and then said indifferently, "Impossible."
How wide is the Youshui River?Everyone knows that it is impossible to build a bridge on the Youshui River. This is clearly a grandstanding.
"Yes, I also think it's impossible." Princess Lucy chuckled and shook her head, then looked down.
Half an hour later, Princess Lucy stood on the side of the road, finished reading a newspaper, and couldn't help sighing, "This newspaper is really a great invention. With this newspaper, all the big and small things that happen in a city can be easily reported." learned."
"Are you going to find Eliza?" Jones asked indifferently.
"Not for now, let's take a look around the city first." Princess Lucy rolled up the newspaper. She is very interested in the city now, especially the newspaper office and the library.
Chapter 0519 is not good.
"Crash..."
There was the sound of water hitting the planks.
On the Youshui River, a fleet of hundreds of ships is slowly advancing, and Darlene's fleet is leading the way.
Darlene stood at the stern of the boat, looking at the densely packed boats behind her. She was in a very complicated mood now, and she didn't know whether it was good or bad to bring so many people to Sheba City.
But she thought of what His Excellency HAD said before leaving, so she didn't need to worry, don't worry about those followers when you come, just take them to Sheba City.
"How long will it take to reach Sheba City?" Darlene asked without looking back.
"Miss, there are still eleven days to reach Sheba City, and..." the knight hurriedly said respectfully, but he hesitated halfway through the speech.
"Tell me, what happened?" Darlene said indifferently. Now, no one in charge of these fleets would want anything to happen to her.
"The snow is melting very fast these days. There is a lot of water upstream. The fleet cannot move forward fast. I'm afraid it may not reach Sheba City in eleven days." The knight said quickly. The eleven days he predicted was Follow the previous speed.
"Huh..." Darlene breathed out, if it wasn't because she had to wait for Catherine, she would have set off more than ten days earlier, and this time it was half a month later than the scheduled time.
"I'm really sorry, Your Excellency HAD." Darlene sighed, she didn't know what to do now, Catherine was grounded now, and she might marry someone she didn't like in the future.
"It's kind of hard to say." Darlene looked up at the gloomy sky, it was going to rain.When she went to Sheba City this time, she didn't even know how to ask His Excellency HAD for help.
But besides Your Excellency HAD, she can't think of anyone who can help Catherine. As for Princess Lucy, she doesn't need to think about it. The other party is still in trouble now.
If she asked other people for help, she would be captured in front of the Duke of Kerak in the next second.
She lowered her head and looked at the fleet behind her. There must be envoys from the three princes inside. As for their purpose, they came here without thinking about the magical goods such as perfume, wine, and paper.
"The visitor is not kind." Darlene sighed helplessly, turned and walked to the cabin, the wind was strong outside, and she felt dizzy after blowing for a long time.
Darlene's guess was right. The following fleet was envoys from three other princes, such as Jesse and Kunzhan who followed again.
"Hmph, that woman, maybe this is her last business?" Jessie looked at Darlene's back as she entered the cabin.
"His Royal Highness the fourth prince said that as long as we can get the formula of the perfume, that woman will be at our disposal." Kunzhan said with a gloomy face, and now he hated that woman deeply.
Because of Darlene, his reputation in the royal capital is already stinky, and no noble girl is willing to talk to him, let alone marry him.
"What? You still want her?" Jessie narrowed her eyes, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.
"Yes, why not? I want to play her to death." Kunzhan sneered and said in a low voice, "I'll give you some money as compensation, how about it?"
"Tch..." Jesse snorted and said coldly, "No, I want to play too."
"Hahahaha..." The two looked at each other and laughed, and the people around them cast strange glances.
"And that damned Sheba City Lord, if he doesn't know his way this time, then his doomsday will come." Kunzhan gritted his teeth.
What happened in the small black room, that dark and silent house, can be said to be the worst nightmare of his life. Now that he is sleeping, he must light a candle, otherwise he will not dare to sleep.
Also, when mining in that mine, if they didn't dig enough ore, they would have no wheat porridge to eat. They were so hungry in the first two days that they had to dig desperately to keep him from starving to death.
"Heh~~ Do you think he is willing to hand over the perfume formula?" Jesse sneered, he also hated that Sheba City Lord and those disgusting Beastkin.
"I'm definitely not willing to part with it, and I wouldn't be willing to come if it were me, then? He's dead." Kun Zhan laughed darkly. This time they came under the order of the fourth prince. If the other party doesn't hand over the perfume formula, they can make it kill him.
This time Catherine didn't come, and they were no longer afraid of a little nobleman.And they also brought more than 100 knights.
"This time we have to pay attention to the people of the first prince and the second prince. They are the biggest competitors." Jesse turned his head and glanced at the big boat in front left, which was the boat of the first prince.
"Don't be afraid, don't forget what the fourth prince said." Kunzhan grinned lightly.
"I don't understand." Jesse glanced around vigilantly and lowered his voice, "Why did the fourth prince choose the land in the west? That place is too remote."
"You don't understand, and I don't understand either." Kunzhan also lowered his voice, and said helplessly, "I guess the nobles in other places probably don't want to support the fourth prince."
"Huh..." Jesse exhaled, and said in a bitter tone, "I don't know if the fourth prince can climb to the top, if not? Then we..."
Can he not be bitter?Participating in the struggle for the throne, if you fail, you will definitely die, even if you survive by chance, you will be reduced to a slave.
"Hmph~ What's the point of saying this now? Since we stood in line, there is no way out." Kunzhan said indifferently.
They went to Sheba City this time to check out the outposts, and they even brought all their wealth. The king can't go back for the time being, and the fourth prince will leave soon, and then go to the west to settle down and grow stronger in the future. Rebellion to seize the throne.
"I heard that there is Earl Puli who has been planning the west for the fourth prince. I don't know what's going on now." Jesse changed the subject.
"I heard a few words from the fourth prince last time. It seems that knights have been recruited in the western land. The first batch is the Knights of Thousands." Kun Zhan said with a raised corner of his mouth. These two sentences.
"So powerful? It's amazing that there are thousands of knights. The fourth prince is definitely expected to be king." Jesse roared excitedly.
The Kingdom of Yingluo will be divided into two, the territory of the inland first prince and the second prince.The western part of the remote place, including Sheba City, will be under the rule of the four princes in the future.
"The first task, perfume, must be completed. As for the wine, it can be given to the envoys of the first prince and the second prince." Kunzhan said lightly.
"No, didn't you say that there are thousands of knights? Wouldn't it be better for the knights to kill the envoys of the two princes and then storm Sheba City?" Jesse's voice was cold and low.
"It can be considered..." Kun Zhan frowned and thought about it, then nodded and said, "Let's go to the western land and contact the Knights of Thousands first."
Chapter 0520 interesting stuff.
Today is the second day of the new year. In the study of the castle, HAD and the beast-ear girls are playing turtle.
"Hee hee... I won, there are two cards left, young master, it's your turn." Annie smiled and shook the two cards in her hand, her ears twitching.
"Don't be too happy." HAD blew on the note pasted on his brow, and there was a note on both of his brows, which meant that he lost two rounds.
"Anyway, I won't be a tortoise in this round." En Li bulged the note on her cheek.
"Be careful that extreme joy begets sorrow." HAD looked at the five pieces of paper on Hu Erniang's face amusedly, and stretched out his hand to draw a card from the opponent's hand, which happened to be a pair of three, and he still had two cards in his hand.
"It's my turn." Teess yelled excitedly, blowing up the three pieces of paper stuck to her nose with her voice.
"Okay, I'll draw for you." HAD chuckled and handed over the two cards, Deess now only has one card left.
"Let's just take this one." Deess probed and grabbed a card randomly, turned it over and looked at it, and shouted excitedly, "Hahaha, it happens to be a pair of sevens."
"Uh..." En Li was stunned, why is Deess so lucky?Then it will be over soon.
"It's Annie's time for you, you have no one to smoke, so I'll smoke mine." HAD raised his eyebrows, and the note fluttered.
"One-in-half chance of success." Annie pursed her lips, her brown eyes fixed on the two cards, and her little hands moved left and right tangled.
"Annie, draw quickly." Mina urged, she had already prepared a note in her hand, she was the first to finish drawing the cards, so she had the right to stick the note.
"Just this one." Annie chose the card on the left, turned it over and saw that it was an eight, her little face instantly collapsed, the remaining card was a four.
"Looks like I missed it, so it's up to me." HAD smiled lightly, shaking his five fingers, looking at the Annie who kept switching cards.
"Master, let's draw." Annie stared at the cards nervously with wide brown eyes, thinking in her heart, don't draw four, don't draw four.
"This one." HAD quickly drew a card, turned it over and saw that it happened to be a card of four, matching a pair.
Thinking of the happy look of Fox Erniang just now, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Ha, Annie is a turtle again."
"Hmph~~ Quick post, I will definitely win the next round." Annie pouted, and turned her small face to the cat-eared girl.
"Here we come." Mina took the note and stuck it to the fox's chin, making a beard.
"Come again." Annie gathered the cards and began to shuffle them.
"Boom bang bang..."
At this time, there was a knock on the study door, which made HAD stunned. Who would come at this time?All the girls with animal ears are here, those who read books, those who play cards play cards.
"Come in." HAD said calmly, and Maoer Niang immediately reached out to tear off the note on his face, and played in private, but you can order as you like, but you must maintain an aristocratic demeanor in front of people.
"Gag..."
The study door opened, and Niu Da strode in, holding a sack in his hand.When I came in, I saw the notes on the faces of the beast ear girl and my sister, and immediately understood what I was playing, and felt that I came at the wrong time.
"Niu Da, what's the matter?" HAD frowned. Niu Da's task is to patrol the periphery of the territory and guard, and he is probably here for something.
"Master, there is one thing that needs to be reported to you." Niu Dalian hurriedly said, he opened the sack in his hand, revealing a dozen palm-sized, black flat things inside.
"What is this?" Annie was shocked, this thing is too ugly, right?
"Where did they come from?" HAD asked in surprise, he recognized what these things were, they were freshwater mussels.
"I went to the port in the morning to patrol and saw the people who built the bridge fish it out from the bottom of the river. It felt very strange, so I brought it to the young master to have a look." Niu Da said briefly.
"I didn't expect this thing to exist in the Youshui River." HAD smiled lightly, and reached out to take a freshwater clam, which was really big.
"Master, do you know this thing?" Mina asked in surprise, her cat ears trembling slightly.
"This is called a freshwater clam." HAD raised the corner of his mouth, glanced at the people present, and said with a light smile, "May I ask you a question?"
"My lord, what's the problem?" Viya's rabbit ears pricked up.
"Do you know how pearls come from?" HAD asked lightly.
"Pearl?" Nicole frowned, then shook her head, she really didn't know this.
"My lord, you don't mean to say that pearls come from freshwater mussels, do you?" Eliza said in amazement.
"That's right." HAD nodded, stretched out his hand and said to Mina, "Knife."
"Yes." Mina flipped over, and a saber appeared in her hand, and handed it over.
"Freshwater mussels have a certain chance to produce pearls." HAD said lightly, piercing the saber along the side of the mussel, prying open the shell.
"Wow! There are really pearls, so many." Annie shouted excitedly, looking at the dozens of pearls of different sizes inside the oyster with bright eyes.
"This is the origin of the pearl." Eliza, Nicole, Mina, and Viya were all stunned.
They heard that pearls come from the sea, they are very precious jewelry, and the pearls that can only be exchanged with human lives are actually produced by such an ugly thing?
"Aren't you surprised?" HAD took out the pearls, shared one for each of them, and said softly, "There are also pearls in the sea, and they are also produced by similar mussels. The pearls are bigger than freshwater mussels."
"Master, do these have pearls?" Teess stared at the unopened freshwater mussels, and she wanted to try opening one herself.
"You'll know after you try it." HAD handed over the saber, saw the eager eyes of the others, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Let's open one for each person."
He thought of an interesting thing that can make money and play, that is, betting on clams to open pearls.However, he needs some knowledge to find out how to choose pearl mussels, and artificial breeding can also make a lot of money.
"Yeah, I want to choose this." Annie immediately hugged the largest freshwater clam.
"Then I want this." Deess followed suit.
"I'm not in a hurry, you guys choose first." Viya said softly.
"..."
Chapter 0521 Pearl Court.
The third day of the new year.
"It's selling newspapers, it's selling newspapers, the city lord has opened a new store called Pearl Pavilion, everyone passing by, don't miss it." The kid selling newspapers on the street shouted loudly.
"A newspaper."
"Bring me a newspaper, too."
"..."
Solo took Geer on the road, and the father and son were about to eat noodles when they heard the newsman shouting for pearls, which aroused Solo's attention.
Pearls are very good things, and they are also one of the favorite things of the nobles. They are more popular than gold, especially those noble ladies, who are crazy about pearls.
"Father, let's go eat noodles first." Geer had a bad feeling when he saw his father reading the newspaper seriously.
"Let's buy some steamed stuffed buns. Let's go to the Pearl Pavilion and eat noodles later." Solo put away the newspaper, and strode towards the Pearl Pavilion.
"Oh!" Geer pouted, reluctantly followed, and then bought a few buns at the bun shop.
The location of the Pearl Pavilion is near the Qianzhuang. It is a large building. It was originally reserved by HAD for opening a spice shop in the future, but now that there are pearl oysters, it will be used first.
When Solo brought Geer to the Pearl Pavilion, he found many acquaintances, all businessmen, and some curious civilians.
"Look, everyone, Mr. Solo is here too."
"Haha...Mr. Solo, are you also here for Pearl?"
"..."
"Mr. Solo, you are here too." Tori greeted, he also read the newspaper.
"Your Excellency Tori, why are you all standing here?" Solo asked curiously.
"We came early, the Pearl Pavilion hasn't opened yet." Tori spread his hands and said.
"Uh..." Solo was stunned for a moment before he realized that he had woken up early. Now that he had to send Geer to school, he got up early habitually, unlike before.
"I don't know how many pearls there are. I hope there can be more, so that the price will not be too high." Tori said softly. He wanted to buy some better pearls for his wife.
"The store opened by the Lord of the City, there should be no shortage of pearls, right?" Solo's tone was full of uncertainty. If the quantity is large, this is another business.
"Mr. Solo, what do you think pearls are?" Tori rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "You must know that pearls are treasures from the sea, and the number that flows to the west every year is even less."
"Then I can only hope that the price will not be too high." Solo sighed, if there were a lot of pearls, he might buy a lot.
In the crowd, Princess Lucy and Jones were also there. They were also attracted by the pearl, and now they are hiding in the corner for fear of being seen by Solo.
After all, Solo is Darlene's father, and he has also met Princess Lucy. Once Solo sees him, his identity will be exposed.
"Ta Tata..."
The sound of horseshoes sounded, and a carriage was approaching slowly not far away, and stopped in front of Pearl Pavilion after a while.
"My lord, the Pearl Pavilion is here." Xin Ke reported in a deep voice, scanning the surroundings with cold eyes, forcing many people to retreat.
"Garji~"
The carriage door opened, HAD came out, glanced at the people below him, thinking that the temptation of pearls was strong enough, % of the businessmen in the city came.
"My lord, Happy New Year." Tori and Solo took the lead in shouting, which they learned from the newspaper.
"Happy New Year." HAD was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, "Everyone, it's really early."
"Lord HAD, we all came when we heard there were pearls," Tori answered.
"Okay, let's go in." HAD turned his head and nodded to Annie who was standing behind him, "Let someone open the door."
"Yes." Annie said respectfully, stepped outside the Pearl Pavilion, and knocked on the door.
"Gag~"
In less than two seconds, the door opened.There are already guys preparing for it inside, and they stood aside after opening the door.
HAD walked in, and he glanced at the beast-eared girl standing beside him out of the corner of his eye. Is the spot on the ear a leopard Beastkin?He didn't think too much, and stepped into the shop.
Mina stared at the leopard Beastkin vigilantly. She felt the crisis and murderous aura from him, which was so obvious that she had to be vigilant.
"Ta Tata..."
As soon as HAD and the others went in, Tori, Solo and others all rushed in. They wanted the pearls too much, after all, they could make money by reselling them.
"Uh..." The merchants after entering the door stared blankly at the decoration inside. Isn't this too rough?It's not as beautiful as other stores.
"My lord, where are the pearls?" Tori asked curiously, but there was no pearl in the hall.
The people present only saw a dozen large wooden barrels in the hall. Could it be that the pearls were placed in the large wooden barrels?Are there too many pearls?Actually use a big wooden barrel to pack it?
"The pearl is here." HAD raised his mouth and reached out to pat the big wooden barrel beside him.
"Really?" Tori's eyes lit up, and he rushed to the big wooden barrel and looked down into it.He was dumbfounded. There was only water in the big wooden barrel, and there were some flat stone-like things.
"My lord, are you joking?" Solo was stunned, how could this be considered a pearl?
"Don't believe me?" HAD raised his eyebrows, and said calmly to Maoer Niang, "Choose one and open it for them to see."
"Yes." Mina nodded, rolled up her sleeves, reached into the big wooden barrel with her left hand to pick up the top freshwater clam, slightly turned the saber with her right hand, pierced along the shell of the clam, and then pried it open.
"There are really pearls here?" Tori widened his eyes, looking at seven or eight pearls of different sizes in the shell in shock.
"It's unbelievable that pearls grow inside." Solo pointed to the shell and said in surprise, "My lord, what is this thing called?"
"Freshwater mussels can also be called pearl mussels." HAD smiled and said slowly, "This kind of mussels has a certain chance of containing pearls."
"My lord, how do you sell these?" Tori asked quickly, thinking of the freshly hatched pearls.
"It's measured according to the size of the pearl." HAD said lightly, and he took out a wooden box from his sleeve, which contained measuring instruments.
Chapter 0522 betting mussels.
"Snapped!"
HAD lifted the lid of the box, and there was a vernier caliper inside. The main ruler is usually in millimeters, and it is just used to measure pearls. You must know that the price of pearls is completely different for every millimeter more.
"Annie, let's test it." HAD handed the vernier caliper to Hu Erniang. He taught it to the people in the castle when he brought it from the earth last night.
"Yes." Annie took the Kashi, squatted down and picked up the largest pearl to measure, and said, "This pearl is seven millimeters."
"This one is five millimeters, this one is three millimeters..." Annie quickly measured several pearls and recorded them on the paper. The smallest pearl was three millimeters.
"This... can be divided so carefully." Tori was surprised.
"My lord, how do you sell this pearl?" Solo asked quickly, he wanted to buy the biggest pearl.
"The price depends on the size and roundness of the pearl. The larger the pearl, the rounder it is, and the color determines the price." HAD narrowed his black eyes and said lightly, "Take this seven millimeter pearl as an example, at least fifty pieces Silver coins start at the price."
The pearls produced by freshwater mussels are not very big. They are not cultivated artificially. The general size is about to millimeters. This is the conclusion HAD drew from hundreds of freshwater mussels yesterday.
As for pearls larger than ten millimeters, they are relatively rare, and the price of at least one pearl starts at ten gold coins.
"Fifty silver coins?" Solo nodded. This price is the market price, which is not much more expensive than other pearls.
"A six-millimeter pearl costs only twenty silver coins..." HAD briefly introduced the price of the pearl.
"My lord, I bought all of these." Tori said hastily. His clothing store business has been booming recently, which has allowed him to make a good fortune.
"Mr. Tory, you can't eat alone, I want to buy three pearls too."
"And me, please give me a five-millimeter pearl."
The merchants at the scene were not happy, and hurriedly screamed to buy pearls, as if they were afraid that they would not be able to buy pearls if they asked late.
"Everyone, please listen to me." HAD waved his hand, and after everyone quieted down, he said, "Pearls, I still have hundreds of them here, and they are on the second floor. Go up to the second floor to choose."
"Great, then I won't argue, Mr. Tory please."
"Yes, since there are still pearls, don't hurt your feelings."
The merchants backed away awkwardly and gave up the venue to Tori, as if I would not fight with you, and Tori rolled his eyes angrily.
"My lord, are all these wooden barrels filled with this kind of pearl oysters?" Solo raised his eyebrows and asked, he was suddenly interested in this pearl oyster.
"Yes, these are full of pearl oysters." HAD said lightly, this is the pearl oyster he ordered people to dig out yesterday.
The source of the pearl oyster was sealed by HAD yesterday, and the salvage of the pearl oyster was also carried out in secret.
"Can I pry open one? Of course, I can pay for it." Solo said seriously.
"My lord, I want to try it too." Tori said quickly.
"Okay, the pearl mussels in these wooden barrels were pried by everyone." HAD put his hands down and said with a raised mouth, "The price of the freshwater mussels in each wooden barrel is different in the wooden barrels here. In the wooden barrel next to it, the price of a freshwater mussel is ten silver coins, as for whether pearls can be opened, it depends on luck."
Yesterday, HAD found some information on the earth, and he could barely tell which clams had pearls in them. As for the size of the pearls, it really depends on luck.
The first clam that was opened today was also arranged by HAD before. It was for the performance of the people present, and it was for one purpose, that is, to bet on clams.
"This..." Solo became dull. The price of a freshwater mussel is ten silver coins.Once a freshwater mussel with pearls is found, it will definitely make a steady profit, and it will be a big profit.But I'm afraid that the freshwater mussels that are opened will not have pearls, and that will be a blood loss, which is completely like gambling.
"Of course, there are cheaper freshwater mussels over there, one that only costs five silver coins, and one silver coin." HAD pointed to the big wooden barrel in the corner of the hall, and said lightly, "There are cheaper ones, as long as Five hundred copper coins, of course, the lower the price of freshwater mussels, the lower the chance of getting pearls."
He only put a few mussels with pearls in each barrel, and most of them were mussels without pearls. This would definitely make him earn money. As for the accidental high-quality pearls, it's just a matter of luck. , It's really out of his consideration.
"Isn't this too exciting? If the freshwater mussels you buy don't have pearls, it won't hurt you for a long time?"
"But once the freshwater mussels you bought produce pearls, it's blood money."
