A stunning mermaid dressed in the 1980s, the whole family lined up to pamper her endlessly.

Chapter 43 Abalone Pearls

The abalone sold later are priced by weight, but you should still distinguish between them.

Abalone with 5-6 heads weighs 21 jin (approximately 16 catties), and this costs ten yuan per jin.

The smaller ones are grouped together, totaling 43 jin (approximately 21.5 catties), which is calculated at five yuan per jin.

In addition, there was a 68-jin (approximately 34.5 catties) amberjack. Because of its large size, Awang gave it a price of 5 mao (0.5 yuan) per jin.

23 catties of prawns and 15 catties of sea centipedes.

They also picked up some scattered crabs, as well as the red grouper and black croaker, which they took back and ate themselves.

All those odds and ends add up to several dollars.

The final cost was 583.5 yuan.

"Uncle, don't you sell sea urchins?"

Yun Jiao and Yun Xiaoliu shouted loudly, "Not for sale!"

Awang was both amused and exasperated: "Fine, I won't sell."

While Awang was calculating, Grandpa Yun was also calculating.

After confirming it, the whole family's breathing became a little rapid.

So much money...

After giving them the bill, Yunwang left with the abalone; he needed to sell these things quickly.

"583.5, I made so much money on my first voyage, am I dreaming?"

Wang Mei muttered to herself, and then pinched the person next to her.

Yunlinhe gasped in pain.

Why are you pinching me!

Wang Mei stared at his expression: "It's not a dream, it's all real, we really made more than five hundred yuan!"

Grandma Yun carefully put the bill away.

This auspicious start brought smiles to the faces of the whole family.

Yunlin River Channel: "We never expected there would be such a large area of ​​abalone on that small island."

They excitedly recounted how they discovered abalone and the large yellowtail on the island.

The boys standing nearby were so excited they couldn't wait to rush to the island.

"Father, I want to go tomorrow too! I want to go pick abalone!"

Yun Xiaowu immediately shouted, "I must go! If you don't let me go, I'll swim across myself!"

Yun Linhai's face fell, and he immediately took off his shoes and raised them to hit his son.

"You're threatening your father now, huh!"

Yun Xiaowu darted out like a monkey.

"I don't care, I'm going to go out to sea too."

Yun Xiaoqi turned her head to look at her father with shining eyes.

Yunlinhe also pulled out the shoe sole.

"Dare you say one and see?"

Yun Xiaoqi: "If Fifth Brother goes, I'll go!"

He ran away after saying that, and the shoe that Yun Linhe threw grazed his shoulder as it flew past.

The room became noisy and bustling for a while.

"what!!!"

Yun Jiao was startled when her aunt suddenly screamed.

She looked up and saw that her aunt was staring at her, or rather, the abalone in her hand was making a sharp popping sound.

"Jiaojiao, how come you still have one in your hand?"

And it's such a big one! This abalone costs 18 yuan!
The others' attention was also drawn to the large abalone that Yun Jiao was holding.

Everyone:…………

Yun Jiao: "Mine."

She hugged the abalone tightly in her hands.

"Not for sale."

Yun Linhai quickly said, "Jiaojiao found this. I already promised her she could keep it herself."

Grandma Yun felt bad; that was 17 yuan!

"Are we keeping these to eat? If you want to eat them, let's save some of the baby abalone."

It's a shame to eat such a big abalone.

Ignoring everything else, Yun Jiao grabbed the abalone and ran to Yun Linhai's side. "Father, open it."

Although it hurt to spend the money, Yun Jiao wanted everyone to suffer in silence.

Try to think positively; we made over 500 yuan today!

"Big brother, second brother?"

Shen Yunlian tidied her hair: "The medical report is out, your older brothers are going to see the results."

"It's open, Jiaojiao, do you want to eat now?"

Yun Linhai handed her the abalone and its shell.

Yun Jiao shook her head and removed the abalone meat.

The inner wall of the abalone shell has a very beautiful and vibrant color, and the pearls formed from it are also similar in color to the inner wall.

"what is this?"

Yun Xiaowu leaned closer and also saw the protruding things on the inner wall of the abalone shell.

Others also came over.

Yun Jiao's childish tone was very certain: "Pearl."

"pearl?!!!"

They didn't recognize it because it wasn't the round shape they expected of a pearl.

In fact, pearls are not just round; because of different formation processes, they naturally come in various shapes.

In most people's minds, round pearls are the best.

The abalone shell that Yun Jiao was holding contained an oddly shaped pearl, part of which was embedded in the inner wall of the abalone shell.

“Take this down and take a look.”

Yun Xiaowu rolled up his sleeves: "I'll do it!"

Yun Linhai: "What the hell are you talking about? You're so heavy-handed."

In the end, it was Yun Linhai who came and carefully removed the strange pearl with a knife.

"Why does this look like a fish tail?"

The pearl's overall shape is a particularly beautiful fish tail, with a very large tail fin that spreads out in a fan shape, and a wavy tail.

Both the color and the shape are exceptionally beautiful.

The color is peacock green with a hint of blue.

"Is this also a pearl? It's so beautiful."

Both Shen Yunlian and Wang Mei, the two women in the family, were deeply attracted.

Few women dislike pearls.

Although it's not a round pearl, it doesn't affect its beauty at all.

Yun Jiao herself also likes it quite a bit.

"Wait... there are pearls inside abalone?"

After realizing what had happened, everyone was stunned.

I've never heard of abalone producing pearls.

Even Grandpa Yun and Grandma Yun had never heard of it.

Wang Mei: "Will there be pearls among the other abalone we sell?"

If it really exists, how much have they missed?

These pearls are very valuable.

Grandpa Yun remained calm: "What are you thinking? You think you can have all the good things?"

"We've at least heard of the Flame Pearl, but the Abalone Pearl? I'm so old, I've never heard of it before. What does that mean? It means that this thing is rare."

Yun Linhe quickly nodded: "Dad is right. The shopkeeper who bought our Flame Pearls said that only one Flame Pearl might be found in ten thousand coconut snails."

The pearls inside these abalone are unheard of; it's clear that getting pearls from them is even more difficult. Are they really going to open all the abalone just for the uncertain possibility of pearls? That would mean not only no pearls but also no money to sell the abalone—a huge loss indeed!

He didn't have the guts to gamble on that "what if" scenario.

Wang Mei calmed down after hearing this.

"Yes, maybe not in other abalone."

They couldn't help but look at Yun Jiao.

"Our Jiaojiao is so lucky. She picked an abalone and got a pearl. The flaming pearl last time was also found in the coconut snail that Jiaojiao picked up. Is our Jiaojiao the daughter of Mazu?"

"It's a good idea to keep it, otherwise who knows who will benefit from these pearls."

At this moment, no one felt sorry for the abalone that Yun Jiao had left behind.
