Island Fishing Grounds

Chapter 5: Plan to culture pearl clams

Views:

Tanguan City has a population of 300,000. Although this population is not large, it is the largest seaport city on the east coast of West Malaysia. There is an endless stream of international ships and there are many international luxury customers, so there are various high-end seafood restaurants. Row upon row.

Li Shu directed the driver to go around a few times, and then began to enter one seafood shop to discuss selling crabs. Although his Cantonese was poor, most seafood shops had people who could speak Mandarin, so the negotiations went smoothly.

By the time Li Shu walked out of the last seafood restaurant, it was already 11 noon. He squinted at the hot sun in the sky, but his heart was filled with excitement.

“A total of 50 bread crabs were sold for a total of MYR 140,000! On average, one crab was sold for MYR 2,800.

This is a total of MYR 140,000! The salary of an ordinary college student in Malaysia after graduation is only about MYR 2,000. Hey, an ordinary college student has to work for almost 6 years to earn this kind of money. "

Li Shu was trembling with excitement. As he walked north along the road, he felt that the green trees on both sides of the road, the moving vehicles, and all kinds of passers-by were all cute.

It's not like he's never seen money before, but this is the first time he's made so much money.

The weather in Malaysia is hot in June, and the sound of cicadas fills our ears, adding to the hot smell in the air.

Li Shu walked into a mid-range restaurant on the roadside and ordered a few dishes and a large portion of rice to eat. The delicious curry beef was tender and delicious, and the fried chicken legs were crispy and fragrant. Li Shu ate the rice with the dishes. At the end, there is a Bak Kut Teh full of medicinal aroma.

Life is complete!

"Hey~ What should I raise next?" Li Shu leaned on the blue chair full of artistic design and thought in his heart. He looked outside through the window. Behind the restaurant was a noisy small street. Lay out a dirty cloth, put the items on it and start selling.

"Big crabs can no longer be raised recently. The long-term production of huge bread crabs can easily attract the attention of interested people. I am currently weak and cannot resist the prying eyes of the wolves. I will be in trouble when the time comes." Li Shu thought in his mind. .

Sudden.

He paused slightly as his eyes passed by a stall outside. There, a young man sitting on a horse was opening pearl clams. Cheap pearls were taken out from the big clams in various shapes. They were also spread on the cloth next to them. Wearing a string of pearl bracelets.

"Yes! I can cultivate sea mussels and produce pearls through sea mussels!" Li Shu was excited. "The price of top-quality pearls is very expensive. As long as we can produce three or five top-quality pearls, we can make a lot of money." !" Li Shu stopped blowing the air conditioner in the restaurant. He stood up and walked out of the restaurant from the back door. He bypassed all kinds of people and squatted down in front of the young man opening the clam.

"How do you sell this pearl bracelet!?"

"Super cheap, 200 ringgit per bunch." The dark-skinned young man looked at the plum tree, with a shrewd light flashing in his eyes.

"2 yuan a bunch." Li Shu replied immediately.

"Pfft~cough~" The dark-skinned young man couldn't take a breath and almost choked to death on his own spit. He looked at Li Shu with a black face and realized that Li Shu was also a knowledgeable person. He said: "Brother, big brother, come on." Just a little, RM5 for you!”

"Haha~4 ringgits, if you don't sell it, I'll leave." Li Shu made a gesture to leave.

"Hey~ Lose money and make money, sell it, sell it."

"Nonsense~ A string of 4 ringgits, of which you can earn at least 2 ringgits." Li Shu took out the change to pay, picked a string of pearl bracelets that he was satisfied with, and left.

He took a taxi to the pier and studied the pearl bracelet all the way. There were 12 pale pink pearls strung together by a pale white rubber band. They looked good on his right wrist.

However, each pearl is not round, has a strange shape, uneven color, small size, and dull luster... But considering the cabbage price of 12 pieces at RM4, it can still be said that it is a profit.

"Although the quality is poor, they are indeed genuine pearls! That's enough."

Before the taxi stopped, Li Shu saw Uncle Hai standing on the pier through the car window.

"Uncle Hai, why are you here?" Li Shu paid and got off the car. He walked towards Uncle Hai and said with a smile. Li Sha was standing next to Uncle Hai. Looking from a distance, you can still see Li Sha's rust stains. Spotted ferry boat.

"Oh, we are here to settle the money for selling strawberries." Uncle Hai said with a smile, "A factory on the outskirts of the city stopped working, and Li Sha stopped by Danguan City to pick up the villagers."

Li Shu nodded and waited for a while on the shore. Uncle Hai was talking to a fat man with an emerald ring. The sea breeze blew by and the blue sky was filled with white clouds. It was so beautiful.

He took out the thermos cup from his backpack, opened the lid and took a sip. Since the chalcedony liquid was added to the water, it gave off a slight fragrance.

"After I go back, I will look into the matter of breeding sea clams. It is best to have sea clams that have successfully transplanted the "bead core". After all, I can't transplant the bead core." Li Shu thought in his mind.

Generally, a piece of sea shell is selected, ground into a spherical shape, and then the spherical material is matched with the "mantle" of an immature pearl mussel and put into another pearl mussel to make a "bead core". The pearl mussel will produce nacre around the bead core. Nacre accumulates to form pearls.

Sudden.

Just as Li Shu was drinking water, a dirty yellow-haired dog rushed over from the side, and then circled around Li Shu wagging its big tail. A pair of dog eyes looked at Li Shu's water glass from time to time.

"Damn it, where did the golden retriever come from? It's so dirty." Li Shu was stunned, "Why are you staring at my water glass? Do you want to drink water?"

Li Shu thought to himself: "This dog is smart and knows that the water in my water glass is good. Maybe his nose is very good and he can smell the fragrance."

From the corner of his eye, Uncle Hai caught sight of the yellow dog running towards him. He was worried that the yellow dog would bite the plum tree, so he quickly came over to chase it away: "Go, go, go, stray dog from somewhere, if you don't go away, I'll beat you to death!"

Standing between the plum tree and the golden retriever, Uncle Hai turned around and said with a smile: "There are small miscellaneous fish discarded by fishermen on the pier every day, so it attracts some stray dogs to come here to look for food."

"Hmm~" The golden retriever stuck out his tongue cutely and waggled his tail to Uncle Hai and Li Shu to show his goodwill, but his eyes kept drifting to Li Shu's water glass.

"Uncle Hai, forget it, Dream Island is quite empty, so just take this golden retriever to Never Island and let him look after the house." Li Shu felt compassion. If a golden retriever wanders around, it will most likely be miserable. He actually likes dogs, but he has never been able to keep them when he lived in a dormitory before.

"Bringing you to Neverland? That's okay too. A dog can run around on the island to relieve boredom." Uncle Hai said with a smile.

Through the temptation of food and chalcedony spiritual water, the dirty golden retriever dog, with its hair stuck together, obediently boarded the ferry boat with Li Shu and others, snuggled next to Li Shu's right thigh and waited quietly to arrive at its new home.

The sea breeze blows, seabirds chirp across the sky, and the white clouds in the sky are blown by the wind and move westward.

Boom~

The fishing boat docked at the small dock of Dream Island. Li Shu, Uncle Hai, and the golden retriever got off the boat. The dark-skinned Li Sha drove a large number of fishermen back to other islands.

"Let me give this dog a bath. I'm afraid there will be fleas on him." Uncle Hai said.

Uncle Hai took the golden retriever to take a bath, while Li Shu returned to the second floor of the villa where he lived, sat on the sofa, opened his laptop, and searched for companies selling pearl clams. Soon, a company came into Li Shu's sight:

"Tianzhu Nake Group has a branch in Danguan City. It is mainly engaged in selling and purchasing pearl mussels, pearl powder, pearl jewelry, etc.?"
