Chapter 133 A woman kissing a man on the street
She scratched the back of her head, unable to recall it for a moment.
He Zhenzhen is not very well-educated, having only graduated from junior high school. In addition, she is naturally rough and doesn't speak very refined language.
Niu Bayi taught her.
"Treat others as they treat you."
"That's right!"
He Zhenzhen slapped her thigh and exclaimed excitedly, "That's exactly what they do! Wow, Bayi, you're so cultured! You're such a cultured person!"
As she spoke, she became somewhat self-conscious.
Niu Bayi finally couldn't resist stretching out his arms and pulling her into his embrace, and then gave her a big kiss on her smooth forehead.
"I'm not a cultured person, I'm your man!"
He Zhenzhen giggled, her laughter like the clear, melodious ringing of bells in the wind.
"Oh my god, Bayi, you're so good at making me happy."
She looked around and, seeing that no one seemed to be paying attention, tilted her head back and gave Niu Bayi a big kiss on the mouth.
Just then, a mother and son passed by on the street; the little boy was only six or seven years old.
He pointed to the top of the tricycle, as if he had discovered a new continent.
"Mommy! Mommy! Look at that older sister, she's kissing that older brother, and she's making a loud 'smack smack' sound!"
The mother quickly raised her hand to cover her son's eyes and started yelling.
"Don't look! Don't look! Oh my god, the world is going to the dogs! In broad daylight, a woman is kissing a man in the street, how shameless!"
This made He Zhenzhen blush with embarrassment.
The tricycle driver in front couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Then He Zhenzhen asked, "Bayi, shall we go to the pearl market to sell pearls now? But those few people just now insisted on buying them, and they were even willing to offer a higher price."
Niu Bayi said, "Judging from the price they initially offered, there's not much room for negotiation. No matter how much we negotiate, the price won't go much higher. We should just go to the pearl market to sell."
"Work hard, sell more money!"
Hearing these inspiring words, He Zhenzhen's eyes shone brightly.
My husband is really good at making money!
She nodded emphatically and said yes.
Next, we arrived at the pearl market.
This pearl market has actually only been open for less than a year.
In this county, some people specialize in pearl harvesting, while others specialize in pearl farming.
Therefore, this pearl market was formed.
There are dozens of stalls inside.
Some sell raw, natural pearls, some sell cultured pearls, some sell pearl jewelry, and some even make pearl earrings and necklaces on-site.
It's quite lively.
Anyone who goes in to sell pearls has to pay an entrance fee.
The price varies depending on the size of the stall.
Niu Bayi paid 2 yuan and got a small stall.
Take the stall number given to you by the manager.
Finding their place, they quickly arrived at the stall.
This stall was actually just a folding table, 60 centimeters long and 30 centimeters wide, with two plastic stools on top and a small canvas covering it, which was barely enough.
He Zhenzhen lifted the canvas, took down the two plastic stools, and then spread the canvas on the folding table.
The people next to them asked.
"Young man, judging from your scent, you must be a fisherman, here to sell pearls?"
Niu Bayi smiled and nodded.
"That's right."
The stall owner shook his head. His words hit the nail on the head.
"You're probably not a professional pearl digger, just an ordinary fisherman who might have stumbled upon a pearl by chance while picking up some shells, right? Let me tell you, in our pearl market—"
"Yes, at least grade C or above pearls."
"The lower-grade herbs are unwanted; it's better to sell them to the herbal medicine market to be ground into powder."
That's true.
Low-grade pearls are generally not suitable for making jewelry.
It can only be ground into powder and turned into Chinese medicinal materials.
When pearl powder is mixed with some traditional Chinese medicine powder to form a paste, it can be applied to the face and has a good skincare effect.
But as soon as the stall owner finished speaking, he gasped and his eyes widened in shock.
"Oh my, your pearls are so beautiful!"
He Zhenzhen had already taken the bag of pearls out of Niu Bayi's backpack.
He untied the opening, grabbed a handful, and carefully placed it on the table.
Although the pearls were round and smooth, they didn't roll off the table because of the rough canvas covering it.
They gleamed on the desktop, radiating a unique, lustrous glow.
Even someone who doesn't know anything about pearls can tell at a glance that these pearls are extraordinary.
He Zhenzhen gave him a proud smile.
"Brother, do you think anyone will buy our pearls displayed here? Are they really only going to end up being ground into powder at the medicinal herb market?"
The stall owner gave an awkward smile, raised his hand, and slapped himself in the face.
"Oh dear, I was blind to your greatness!"
"I thought you'd only get some cheap pearls, but they're all top-quality, probably even first-class or top-grade. My God, so many, and there's more..."
"And those with a diameter of over ten millimeters, they'd cost a fortune!"
He kept exclaiming in surprise, attracting the attention of the people around him. They all stared wide-eyed at Niu Bayi's small table.
He Zhenzhen had already taken out all the pearls and spread them all over the table, piling them up like a small mountain.
Indeed, the largest pearls are probably over ten millimeters in diameter.
When it comes to pearls, besides quality, size is also important.
The larger the pearl, the more expensive it is.
Generally speaking, a high-quality pearl that reaches a diameter of six or seven millimeters is already quite remarkable and can fetch a high price; those exceeding ten millimeters are extremely rare.
No wonder so many people were stunned.
Even though it's a pearl market, when have I ever seen so many high-quality wild pearls appearing at the same time!
He Zhenzhen hasn't taken out the pearl, which is a full eighteen millimeters in diameter, yet.
Once it's released, it will definitely cause a sensation in the entire market.
Because that is the true King of Pearls!
Hearing the exhilarating shouts around her and seeing the envious gazes on her face, He Zhenzhen was overjoyed.
She asked proudly, "Bayi, how are we going to sell these pearls now?"
This was her first time selling things like this, and she found it particularly interesting.
Niu Bayi said, "Those within five millimeters should be grouped into one group, those between five and seven millimeters into another group, those between seven and nine millimeters into yet another group, and there should also be a few that are over ten millimeters, which should also be grouped into one group."
The two immediately got to work, without even needing to find a ruler or anything; with just their keen eyes, they could identify which pearls belonged to which pile.
Men and women working together makes the work less tiring.
In no time, the pearls were divided into four piles.
The smallest pile contained only five stones.
But they are all pearls with a diameter of more than 10 millimeters, and they are particularly dazzling.
More and more people gathered around.
Someone immediately made an offer.
"Young man, I'll buy all these pearls, and I'll give you 1000 yuan."
Niu Bayi raised his head and gave him a slight smile.
"Hey buddy, don't treat me like I'm a celebrity."
That guy couldn't understand.
"What? You think I'm treating you like a celebrity? I don't understand."
Niu Bayi ignored him, finished tidying up all the pearls, and looked around.
Countless eyes were fixed on this place, their faces beaming with eager anticipation, and people kept asking questions.
"Young man, how much are your pearls?"
"Yes, hurry up and name your price!"
"Yes, yes, if the price is right, I'll buy it all."
……
Niu Bayi raised his voice and said, "I am indeed selling these pearls, but not in an ordinary way. I want to auction them off!"
Immediately, an uproar erupted around them.
"Oh, what does 'auction' mean?"
