Time suddenly retreated
"Xiao Erzi, how are you doing there?"
"Boss, none of the ones I've driven are 1.4 centimeters, the largest one is 1.3 centimeters."
"Well, 1.3 is enough. Above 1.4, you still have to try your luck."
The boss and the worker were talking while opening clams. After the black-faced worker handed the newly opened clam to another person who was responsible for picking up pearls and sorting, he raised his hand and took another one, which was very thick and fat. The pearl clam was in his hands. Dong Xuebin, who had returned from the previous time period, saw clearly which clam it was and hurried up to stop him. "Wait a minute, wait a minute, don't open it. How much does this clam cost? I want it."
The boss looked at him and then at the clam, "You want one?"
Dong Xuebin hummed, "I have to look at the rest. I want one first."
The boss thought about it, stopped the rusty kitchen knife in his hand, shook his head and said: "This clam is fat. If there are good beads, they will definitely come out with this fat clam. If you want one, I won't sell it." The word "fat" is their professional term, which refers to the thickness. Generally, the thicker the clam, the bigger the pearls inside it are. "Little Erzi, go ahead and open."
"Wait a minute." How could Dong Xuebin let him drive? "How about five thousand?"
This is the normal price. The boss still shook his head after hearing this.
Dong Xuebin frowned and hesitated, "... six thousand, the most."
The black-faced worker glanced at the boss. He felt that the price was already very high. Even if he offered 1.1CM beads, he would still have to pay 6,000 yuan. 1.1CM pearls were far from worth 6,000 yuan. Of course, if he could leave, If a pearl over 1.5CM is shipped out of shit, its value will be at least ten to twenty times or more compared to a pearl over 1.1CM. However, the probability of a pearl over 1.4CM being produced is really not high. How could he catch up with him by such a coincidence
The boss had the same idea. He had been playing with pearls for so many years and still couldn't figure out the rules based on experience. He knew that this kid from out of town must be making wild guesses. He hesitated and said, "Okay, six thousand is six thousand." If you don't make money, you're a bastard. If the other party charges more clams at the price of 6,000, your costs will be greatly reduced. Why not
Dong Xuebin said: "I have to buy it later, let's settle the bill together at the end?"
The boss said: "Well, can I open the clams for you now?"
"No, I'll take it back and open it myself. You continue." Dong Xuebin would not open it in front of them, otherwise it would make people suspicious. He took the wet clam from the black-faced worker and couldn't put it down. He held it in his hands and looked at it. He couldn't help but feel happy. He asked the brother next to him for a big net bag to put it in. I have got one of the beads of the pearl necklace, but there is still a lot to go before I can complete the necklace. With the remaining nine times and nine minutes, will BACK be a little insufficient
Just as I was thinking about it, the voice of the farm owner suddenly came to my ears, "Hey, I have a big one here."
Dong Xuebin was stunned and looked over, only to see a huge pearl exposed in the gray and white clam shell. It must be bigger than the one he just bought. Sure enough, the boss took a small instrument and opened it. Measured, it shows 1.7CM. Good guy, one in a hundred clams may not be able to find such a big bead.
The boss laughed loudly and said, "You are so lucky. This is rare."
Dong Xuebin took a deep breath and came again and again.
BACK
…
The screen flashes
The boss looked at Dong Xuebin with a serious look, "Well, will I give you some clams now?"
It was back to the time when Dong Xuebin had just finished buying the pearl clams, "No, I'll take the clams back and open them myself." He quickly took the pearl clams and put them into the mesh bag again, before the boss and the black-faced workers continued to open the clams. , and said: "Wait a minute, yes, this is the one under your feet. I want this, it's still six thousand, right?" Dong Xuebin saw the plump pearl mussel with gray and white skin at a glance.
The boss was stunned, lowered his head and picked it up, "This?"
Dong Xuebin said yes, reached out and took it over and put it into the net bag.
The boss felt strange, but didn't say anything. He looked at the worker and they continued to open clams.
Twenty…
Thirty…
Pearls of various sizes were put into the plastic basin, which was almost full.
There were also three or four 1.4CM and 1.5CM pearls among these dozens of clams, but Dong Xuebin did not use BACK to return. Maybe the cultivation method is different, maybe there are other factors that affect it. Three of the pearls that came out were pure white pearls, which did not match the two golden pearls in Dong Xuebin's hand, so he aimed for a perfect necklace. Dong Xuebin had to give up on them and only stared at the slightly larger gold pearls. Although the other 1.4cm gold pearl was irregular in shape and not very round or full, Dong Xuebin did not want it.
Forty…
Fifty…
An hour has passed since he opened the clams. The boss threw down the opened clams in his hand and said with a strange expression: "Are there dozens of them? This batch of cultivated white pearls is okay, how come the golden pearls are not even good quality 1.4" You haven’t had a CM before? No matter how unlucky you are, you should have one?”
The worker said: "There are still more, they should be available soon."
The boss frowned and picked up the next clam. He stuck the kitchen knife into the gap and opened the clam shell with a click. He rummaged through it, picked it up, and felt around for it. Suddenly, the boss's eyes lit up, "Yes, hey, I just said it." "Looking at the shining golden bead in front of me, the boss visually estimated it to be 1.5CM.
When Dong Xuebin saw it, he immediately shouted BACK.
However, as soon as the syllable of the letter B came out of his mouth, he heard the boss suddenly say: "Oh, there is another one inside." Dong Xuebin quickly shut up and looked over, a pearl can come out of a clam. One big pearl is great, but the chance of getting two is very slim.
"...Hey, this one is also 1.4 centimeters"
Seeing that the two golden pearls were flawless, Dong Xuebin no longer hesitated, BACK
…
Time retreats suddenly
"Are there dozens of them? This batch of cultured white pearls is okay, but why haven't even good-quality 1.4CM gold pearls been produced? No matter how unlucky you are, you should have one, right?"
"There are still more, they should be available soon."
Dong Xuebin coughed, stepped forward on the mud, bent down and picked up the muddy pearl clam one step ahead of the boss, "Boss, I'll take this, it's still six thousand."
The boss glanced at him, nodded casually, changed his hand, grabbed another pearl clam, and slashed it down with a knife. Well, there were still ordinary gold pearls inside. There were no beads that could be used as high-end jewelry necklaces. . What happened? Too bad luck today? Or is it that the cultivation of this batch of golden pearls is not ideal? No, when I randomly picked out a few to try out a while ago, they even came out with 1.5cm gold pearls. Damn it.
for the next hour.
BACK
"Boss, I want this."
BACK
"Give me this, not this, but that, right."
BACK
"This is also six thousand, right? Okay, I'll give you the money at the end."
BACK
"Hey, give me this too."
In the end, Dong Xuebin's only ten BACKs were used nine times, and he already had nine pearl clams in his net bag. According to the observation before BACK, there were enough golden pearls ranging from 1.4CM to 1.7CM in these clams. I picked up eleven pearls—two of them contained two pearls over 1.4cm in size. Now that there is only one BACK left, Dong Xuebin is not in a hurry to take action. As for the last chance, he has to wait for a big one, not to mention the 1.7CM one, at least for the opportunity for a clam to produce two big pearls.
Wait and wait, wait and wait.
A 1.5CM golden pearl came out—Dong Xuebin didn’t do it.
A 1.6CM golden pearl came out - Dong Xuebin still didn't take the plunge.
A 1.3CM and 1.5CM one came out - Dong Xuebin pondered for a moment, but still didn't make a move.
It just so happens that I also leave some good pearls for my boss, otherwise they will also become suspicious.
Two hundred clams…
Two hundred and fifty clams…
The pearls opened more and more, and the four big basins could no longer fit in them. The worker took out two more basins from the back door. Of course, they would not put the good pearls in plastic basins, but in special bags.
Looking at the watch, it was already 2:40 pm. Just when Dong Xuebin was wondering if he should just wait for a 1.6CM BACK, the cry started again.
The black-faced worker shouted excitedly: "This boss is so awesome that he can make three big ones!"
"Three?" Dong Xuebin and the boss were both startled, "How many?"
"One is 1.6 centimeters and two are 1.5 centimeters." The black-faced worker held up the beads to show them, "They are both quite plump and there are no holes."
Not to mention Dong Xuebin, even the boss has rarely seen this kind of clams that produce more than three 1.5cm pearls at once. He put down the knife in his hand and was about to go over to take a look at the freshness. Suddenly, his hand touched the clam meat. Feeling something, the boss paused, lowered his head and tightened his grip on the pearl clam he wanted to put down. He picked up a 1.5CM pearl with his thumb, "Hey, I'm a clam." Not bad either.”
When Dong Xuebin saw this situation, he immediately became excited.
Is there any need to think about it? Immediately shouted BACK
…
The scene before my eyes changed
The next moment, Dong Xuebin saw that the boss and the black-faced workers had raised their kitchen knives to open the clams.
Dong Xuebin looked anxious and hurriedly stretched out his hand and said: "Don't open it now, wait a moment, wait a moment, don't open it yet."
The boss and the black-faced worker were interrupted by him and both looked over, "...what's wrong?"
After catching up, I caught up, "Huh, this and this, yes, I will accept these two too." Before the two of them could say anything, Dong Xuebin went over and took the clam in his hand without saying a word.
All OK
