Just these few pearls are already worth more than nine million. In addition to this, she just counted fifty-six white and gold pearls over ten millimeters in total. There are not many black and deep purple ones, only sixteen.
There are still many small ones left that can be sold for money.
These pearls were worth at least tens of millions, and she made a fortune.
"Little girl, do you still want these shells?" Jin Rongruo asked.
"What do I need this for?" Duanmu Baolian asked, "Does it mean that if I go back to raise it, pearls will come out?"
"Well...it's natural that pearls won't come out." Jin Rongruo felt that Duanmu Baolian was quite fun, so why not go back and raise pearls? Why didn't she say anything, go back to plant the ground, and harvest a lot of pearls in the autumn?
"Then I definitely don't want them. I won't have room to pile them up when I go back." Duanmu Baolian said.
"Give it to me and I can design pearl jewelry for you for free." Jin Rongruo felt like he was a bit like a big bad wolf who deceived the little girl.
"What do you want this for?" Duanmu Baolian asked curiously, "Go back and cook? Mr. Bai just said that cooking is not delicious."
"Little girl, you don't understand this!" Lao Bai knew more than her after all, and said with a smile, "This thing is not delicious for cooking, but these shells can still be used to make low-end jewelry. Also, do you know about mother-of-pearl?"
"I heard that the lacquerware in Yangcheng is very beautiful, and the lacquerware jewelry box inlaid with mother-of-pearl is even more beautiful. I'm going to buy one." Duanmu Baolian said with a smile, "Can it be said that mother-of-pearl is actually so beautiful?
Is it inlaid with this kind of shell?" That's all she heard from Lin Yuexia. Lin Yuexia's family was wealthy. On her eighteenth birthday, her aunt bought a mother-of-pearl lacquerware jewelry box from Yangcheng as a gift to her. She
I once showed off in the dormitory.
Therefore, Duanmu Baolian knew that Yangcheng's lacquerware was very famous, and mother-of-pearl lacquerware was even more precious.
"Pearl oysters are the best material for inlaying mother-of-pearl lacquerware." Lao Bai explained, "Don't look at Lao Wu and keep telling me that these things smell bad, but they are all good things."
"My aunt has a small lacquerware company in Yangcheng. She must like these things very much." Jin Rongruo said with a smile, "Miss Baolian, give these shells to me. I will ask my aunt to give them to me when the time comes.
What do you think of your two beautiful mother-of-pearl jewelry boxes?"
"Okay!" Duanmu Baolian readily agreed. What use did she have with these dirty shells? They were fishy and smelly, but she still liked the processed and beautifully made mother-of-pearl jewelry boxes.
"Then it's settled, I'll call someone over later and take them all away," Jin Rongruo said.
"Yeah!" Duanmu Baolian nodded. She had no interest in shells at all.
"I'm going to pick some pearl oysters and gamble." Jin Rongruo said with a smile, "I've only heard of gambling on stones, but never heard of gambling on beads."
"Betting on beads is not as popular as gambling on stones. In many places, pearls are cultivated by themselves. When the mother oysters are picked, they are opened directly by themselves. There are very few people who gamble. Even if they do, they are all small.
It's not as crazy as gambling on stones." Lao Bai said with a smile, "My main reason is that I can't sell these shells, and I'm not sure. They are full of pearls. Besides, if the pearls are opened, I will sell them.
