As a lord, I was forced to farm

With the help of more people, all the mud clams that could be seen in the sea were collected.

Just after messing around in the sea for most of the day, the sky turned dark, which broke the plan of returning to the city today.

Jiang Ran did not rush to open the clams, but waited until the next morning when the group took a boat back to the county. After returning to the mansion, Jiang Ran washed away the fishy smell, then took out the mud shells and asked more than a dozen servants in the mansion to go out. Open shells together.

The slaves originally thought that the county master wanted to eat shellfish, but when Vanilla opened a light blue pearl from the mud oyster shell, everyone's eyes widened, thinking that Vanilla's luck was really good, but when the first When the two people and the third person also opened pearls, everyone realized that something was unusual.

"I also have one here, it's pink."

"And here I am, light blue."

"..."

"This..." Li Fusheng was also in disbelief, "Are these seashells specialized in producing pearls?"

Jiang Ran sat and drank tea quietly while waiting for everyone to finish opening the Ni Qi Bei. Bai Mei waited with the same expectancy.

Li Fusheng excitedly asked, "Be careful when opening shells, don't get scratches on the pearls!"

After saying that, he felt itchy and joined in the process of opening shells.

Everyone became more and more excited. Suddenly, Jiang Ran raised her eyes, and with a cold face, she smashed the teacup on the boy in a corner.

"bump!!"

The sudden loud noise made everyone startled. Although the person who was hit had his back to everyone so that his face could not be seen, his trembling body made others feel his fear.

When everyone was confused, they heard the owner of the mansion speak, "Uncle Li, the Jiang Mansion does not accept sneaky people, please take this person down, and don't appear in the Jiang Mansion again. Just deal with it according to the law." "

When Li Fusheng heard this, his expression immediately changed. He took two steps in three steps and pulled the short-haired man who was about to pee. He only heard a crisp thumping sound, and two round light blue pearls fell from his arms. fell out.

The pearl was extremely beautiful, and Li Fusheng was extremely angry. He reached out and slapped the man loudly, "You dare to steal the owner's things. How audacious."

Li Fusheng said to Jiang Ran in shame, "It's just a small oversight to recruit such a robber and a thief."

Jiang Ran waved her hand and signaled Li Fusheng not to think too much, and quickly dragged the person down. Jiang Ran didn't care if his hands were cut off or he was imprisoned. What she cared about now was to clean up the broken teacup and quickly put away all the tea cups. Pearls come out.

But there was an incident, and the slaves who opened the shells were obviously not so interested.

Human nature is greedy, and these pearl slaves are lying if they say they don't like it. Although most of them have no idea of ​​stealing, the scene just now made the slaves dare not have any bad thoughts.

However, the slaves did not dare to joke around and focused on their work, so their efficiency was actually higher.

The afternoon passed quickly, and all the Niqi Pearls were opened and placed in a wooden box.

Jiang Ran entered the room carrying the wooden box, and Bai Mei followed him excitedly. Although Mo Sheng was not interested in pearls, they usually followed Jiang Ran wherever he went.

A box full of pearls, azure, smoke blue, mist blue, azure blue... all kinds of pearls with different blue degrees and sizes gathered together. Jiang Ran hadn't had time to count them, but she estimated that there were more than 1000 beads.The light blue and almost white azure niqi pearls are the most abundant, accounting for half of the total pearls. There are also a lot of white, pink gold and other inferior pearls, with more than 100 in total.

Jiang Ran Ni Qi Pearls put together pearls that look similar in color and size, and then focus on a group of darker Ni Qi Pearls.

This is a set of 5.5-6mm lake blue pearls. The pure lake blue makes people feel like they are immersed in the endless quiet lake water. It is deep but has an escaping light, so it is not boring.

"Almost 130 pieces. It should be possible to make a necklace with about [-] pieces... This necklace should be very suitable for Qi Yu's aunt..."

Jiang Ran gave Qizhuangmei a pearl necklace to express her gratitude for giving her ten pieces of land in Bianduanting.

In fact, she had considered what kind of gift she wanted to give her in return, but the Qi family was well-established in Mingxiao City and had a noble status, so they probably had everything they wanted.

There is currently no price on the market, but a string of lake-blue pearl necklaces is definitely worth a lot of money. Niqi pearls are ocean treasures, so they won’t be shabby when given away.

Excluding the necklace to be given to Qizhuang Mei, there are still more than 50 lake-blue Niqi pearls of the same diameter. Pearls of this color are rare. Rather than selling them, Jiang Ran prefers to keep them for herself - in fact On top of that, Jiang Ran doesn’t even think about selling the other Niqi Pearls.

Thinking of her family, she simply picked out the rest and made a string of bracelets for Jiang Xiaowen and Jiang Nancheng - Jiang Nancheng, as a man, might not wear them, but Jiang Ran was not partial, and he would do whatever he wanted after the bracelets were made. , he can leave it to his future wife and daughter if he wants.

As for Jiang Ran herself, she still has a lot of lake blue pearls in other sizes, and five or six top-quality sapphire blue pearls. We will talk about hers later.

But when Jiang Ran looked up, she saw Bai Mei with shining eyes. She smiled helplessly and touched its horns, "I forgot, I should give you a share."

So, Jiang Ran divided the six sapphire pearls into three parts, keeping three for herself, giving two to Bai Mei, and one to Mo Sheng.

Of course, some of the other pearls were also divided among the two little beasts.

Bai Mei gladly took the treasure into its treasure house, but Mo Sheng coldly refused. It would rather take the extremely rough fire stone necklace Jiang Ran made for it than care about this gadget.

……

The huge octopus body that destroyed Jiang Ran's boat was cut into countless parts and sent to Suling and Mingxiao City.

Coupled with the demon core in the early stage of the Mysterious Bone Realm, this kind octopus brought Jiang Ran nearly 18 spiritual crystals at once.

Although octopus looks a bit weird in people's eyes, people who have eaten octopus meat say that if the pearly red giant octopus was not common and the threat was too high, the fishermen in Suling would go crazy for it.

However, if there is no pearly red giant octopus, people can find its substitute. Therefore, after abalone, oysters, crabs, and lobsters, there is another hot-selling seafood food such as octopus.

It was already September when Jiang Ran returned from Shuiyuan Island, and Qi Yu had returned to Mingxiao as early as mid-August.

After the pearl necklace was finished, Jiang Ran went to Mingxiao City to reminisce with Qi Yu, Feng Chi and others.

It was still the same Tianyun Restaurant. Qi Yu, whom he hadn't seen for several months, seemed to have lost some weight. The only thing that remained unchanged was his stable and noble appearance.
