Choosing Clam

Gu Zhian spent five hundred spirit beads to buy tickets for everyone to go to Fengyuan City. They were very happy to learn that the passenger ship would arrive at Pearl Island in three days, so that they would not have to wait too long.

After buying the ferry ticket, Gu Zhian touched the flat money bag and felt a lot of pain.

After walking out of Qi's Trading Company, Jing'er pulled Gu Zhian's sleeve and asked, "Mom, when are we going to buy sea clams?" She was still thinking about the beautiful big pearls.

Thinking of the young man saying that the sea clam only needed two spiritual beads, he said to Jing'er without hesitation: "Let's go now and let this brother take us to the market to buy sea clams." Jing'er became happy and jumped up and down.

When he came to the young man's side, he took the young man's hand and said, "Brother, please take us to the market to buy sea clams!"

The boy looked at the little girl holding him, and remembered that his sister at home was also of the same age, and so innocent and cute. The smile on the boy's face became brighter, he held the girl's hand tightly, and said with a smile: "Well, brother

I’ll take you there.”

The market is some distance away from Feiyi Street. Several people followed the boy and took shortcuts and turned many corners before they found the market the boy mentioned. There were a lot of people, mostly locals, and some were dressed like Gu Zhian and others.

Most of the foreigners wearing brightly colored silk clothes could not afford the Ziyun beads in the Baozhen Pavilion and came to the market to try their luck.

The young man led Gu Zhian and the others to a street stall filled with sea clams, and said to the stall owner with a bright smile: "Uncle Wu, these are the guests I brought here. They want to buy sea clams."

The stall owner, Uncle Wu, is an old man in his fifties. He is thin and dark-skinned. He wears a straw hat and shows white teeth when he smiles. "Xiao Fei, you finally have a customer. It's great. Since you are Xiao Fei,

Fei brings guests, then these sea clams can be sold to your customers at a cheaper price, how about five spirit beads and three sea clams?"

Xiaofei's eyes lit up, but he didn't dare to agree for Gu Zhian and others, so he turned to look at Gu Zhian.

Gu Zhian smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's buy six of them first and take a look."

Uncle Wu cheerfully pointed to the sea mussels on the stall, "They were all picked yesterday and are fresh. Most of them have beads, but I can't guarantee what kind of beads they are. It depends on the luck of the customer. You can pick whatever you want."

Xiao Fei saw that Xiao Jing'er had knelt down and hugged a sea clam. The sea clams were not small, but the one Jing'er chose was considered small, but it was even bigger than her face.

Xiaofei smiled and said, "Would you like to open clams now? Uncle Wu is very good at opening clams."

Gu Zhian felt that many eyes were looking at them secretly. He looked at Chu Yuanyan and then shook his head at Xiaofei, "Let's not open it yet. Find an inn to stay first and then open it again."

Xiao Fei expressed his understanding and there are many customers who do this.

Jing'er quickly selected six sea clams, and Gu Zhian didn't know how she chose them. She seemed to have chosen them randomly, but she had a vague feeling that they were not.

After Jing'er selected six, she turned to Gu Zhian and said, "Mom, I want two more over there." Jing'er pointed to the two small sea clams near Uncle Wu and said.

Those two sea clams were the fewest in the whole stall, and the color on the clam shells was also very dull. They looked like dead clams. Uncle Wu also felt that the appearance was too poor, so he put them next to him, thinking that no one would buy them.

.

At this time, someone who was picking sea clams by the side smiled and said: "Little girl, that's not how you choose sea clams. These two sea clams look like dead clams at first glance. Even if they are not dead, they are almost dead. They are small and open."

There aren’t any good pearls, look at this, you have to pick something like this.” The young man in his early twenties pointed to the sea clams he had selected and enthusiastically gave some advice.

Jing'er glanced at the sea clam in the young man's hand and shook her head, "You don't have big pearls, so I don't want them."
