Strong wife likes farming

Chapter 371 376. Raising Pearls 5
"Haha, sister, sister! Look at me, see what I caught!"

A crisp laughter came from the sea, and Yun Shu hurried to the side of the boat to look out, and saw Yun Shu holding a long, slightly flat silver fish with both hands to show off to her.

"Sister, look, this fish is amazing, and it has teeth! When I caught it just now, I was thinking of biting me, haha, can I raise it? I like it so much!"

keep it?
Yun Shu looked at her with a half-smile: "This fish is called Spanish mackerel. It's delicious! Are you sure you want to keep it?"

Yun Xin's eyes lit up: "Is this really edible? That's good, that's good. I won't keep it anymore, I want to eat it."

As she said that, Yun Xin nodded the fish's head: "Who told you to bite me just now? You can't blame me for this, you are the one who insisted on killing yourself. Haha, I will give you a bite at noon today." Eat it! See how you bite me, hum!"

Yun Shu laughed: "Then hurry up and catch a few more fish like this. We'll have Spanish mackerel dumplings for lunch."

"Okay!" Yun Xin responded loudly, put the fish in her hand into the bucket, and let Xiao Xiao carry it to the big boat, "Auntie, help me watch this fish first, be careful, it's powerful, don't Let it bite your hand!"

This was Yun Xin reminding Liu Panyi that since Ao Zian and Qin Yulu both called her aunt, the children also called her aunt.

Carrying the bucket, Liu Panyi didn't know what to think of, and her expression was a little dazed.

Feng Yin understood his mother's thoughts best, stepped forward to tighten the cloak on her body, and said softly: "We will avenge him."

Liu Panyi nodded and smiled, and turned her head to see a few small fishing boats not far away, fishermen were fishing, some were casting nets, some were fishing, and some were standing on the bow of the boat, directly using harpoons spearfish.

However, this fisherman's technique was not skilled enough, and he failed to hit the fork several times.

Liu Panyi looked at it for a while, and couldn't help saying: "Back then, your senior brother was the best at spearfishing, and no one in the entire navy could compare to him."

Only then did Yun Shu realize that she was missing the brother-in-law who was killed by the water bandits.

Since the Feng family army sent ships to patrol and protect the sea, more and more fishermen went fishing, and even found two big boats as big as Yun Shu's boat. The fishermen were fishing for fish, and some even went to the sea to catch Zhu, just staying here for a short while, Yun Shu heard two fishermen who went into the sea shouting that they had caught pearls.

The pearls caught now are all naturally formed, and the quality is also good or bad, it is all based on luck.If you are lucky, maybe a pearl can be sold for hundreds or even thousands of taels of silver, but if you are unlucky, you can only sell it for a few taels.

However, for ordinary people, it is very happy to be able to catch a pearl.

Yun Shu's boat was a little far away from them, and they didn't see the condition of the two pearls.But listening to the fishermen appreciating the students happily, it is estimated that the pearls caught are not much worse.

"There are pearls in this sea area!" Yun Shu couldn't help but praise.

Feng Yin is only responsible for protecting the sea and these fishermen, and he really doesn't know much about things like pearls.

But Liu Panyi knew something, nodded and said: "Yes, there are a lot of pearls! I remember when we came here last time, several of us went down to the sea together."

Not only Lei Zhan who has passed away, but even Feng Hongzhen, a nerd, went swimming with him in the sea!

"However, it has been so many years, and the fishermen here must have picked almost all the pearls, and there should be no more big pearls."

I think the smallest pearls they picked back then were as big as a small fingernail, but now, the largest pearls are probably only this big!
Seeing that she was in a low mood, Yun Shu quickly changed the subject and said with a smile, "Actually, pearls can also be cultivated artificially. It's early autumn, and it's the best time to look for mother-of-pearl. I'll find a suitable one in two days. Hai Yu is going to find mother-of-pearl to raise pearls, and by this time tomorrow, they should be able to grow quite a few."

Pearls can also be raised?
Liu Panyi didn't quite believe it: "How do you raise pearls? It's not like raising chickens and ducks. Pearls grow out of mussel shells. Is it possible that you can still make those mussels and shells listen to you?" Do you produce pearls?"

puff!
Yun Shu couldn't help laughing: "No, Auntie. Pearls do grow in shells, but as long as we help them carefully, we can grow them."

The principle of raising pearls is actually not difficult. Put the shells that can produce pearls in the clean sea area, and when they grow to a certain size, gently open the shells with a knife, put the mother-of-pearl prepared in advance, and then grow another one. After two years, the pearls can be harvested.Of course, if you want to get bigger pearls, you can let the shells grow for a few more years.

However, raising pearls is only deceptively simple. If you really want to raise pearls, you still have to consider a lot of issues.

"First of all, the water must be clean and safe. There should be no crabs or seagulls that eat shells. Oh, yes, you have to check regularly for dead shells, and the small parasitic shells on the shells have to be cleaned up as soon as possible. .It is difficult to raise pearls, but pearls are expensive! I will be happy when the pearls are harvested, haha."

Seeing her so happy, Feng Yin was also happy for her, Dang even expressed that he would find a suitable sea area for her.

Liu Panyi was even more shocked. How could she have thought that pearls could be raised by people?All the noble ladies in the capital are proud of wearing pearl and gem jewelry, and a single pearl is even more expensive.If Yun Shu really cultivated pearls, wouldn't she wear countless pearls every day?Those women must not be envious!
The more she thought about it, the happier she became, and Liu Panyi became more satisfied with this smart and bold daughter-in-law.

The boat moved towards the sea, and there were fewer and fewer small fishing boats on the sea, but more and more patrol boats sent by the Feng Family Army were getting closer.

Liu Panyi looked around while chatting with Yun Shu. Suddenly, she froze and almost fell on the boat.
