Chapter 127 I’ll buy them all for you

After Hua Xiali went over, he prepared the kerosene lamp and kitchen knife. When he heard a slight knock on the door, he went over to open it, then grabbed Huo Beixi's arm and pulled him in, then locked the gate again, "Sorry to trouble you again."

"We are a family, it's no trouble." Huo Beixi was a little surprised to see so many large freshwater clams in the yard. He had gone into the water to help her pick them up before, but he had never picked up such a big one. He didn't know when she picked up such a big freshwater clams.

Hua Xiali handed the kitchen knife to Huo Beixi, then picked up another kitchen knife and prepared to start. Huo Beixi said, "Don't move, I'll do it. You just need to take out the meat later."

"Okay." Hua Xiali didn't say anything else, but sat in the chair and watched Huo Beixi open freshwater clams.

Huo Beixi opened a large freshwater clam in a few strokes. Seeing the round particles in the clam shell, Huo Beixi reached out and touched it. "This should be a pearl, right?"

"Maybe." Hua Xiali took the freshwater clam and squeezed out the round particles. They were indeed round pearls. No one knew whether they were grown by her using the spiritual spring water or they were originally present in the freshwater clam.

Thinking of this, Hua Xiali stood up and walked behind Huo Beixi. She took out a large freshwater clam from the space behind his back and then handed it to Huo Beixi. "Huo Beixi, help me open this and see."

As long as you open this, you will know where the pearls came from.

Huo Beixi took the freshwater clam handed over by Hua Xiali. The surface of this clam shell was obviously not as clean as those on the ground. However, Huo Beixi did not say anything. Instead, he sat down and opened it directly. After opening it, he handed it to Hua Xiali. Hua Xiali looked at it carefully and found that there were pearls. She quickly took out the pearls. The pearls were of different sizes. The big ones were only the size of soybeans, and the small ones were the size of mung beans. They were also irregular, some were strange in shape, and some were slightly rounder.

Only one or two pearls out of a handful can be processed into jewelry. It will probably take many years before the pearls are as big as the ones they took out. It seems that natural pearls are really rare.

It is probably because she has been raising freshwater clams in spiritual spring water for a period of time, so the pearls she took out are so perfect in size and luster. Then the matter of raising freshwater clams in large water tanks can be carried out.

However, they have to be raised in a place with convenient water access. The land where the school is located is outside the village, quite far from the river bend. Raising freshwater clams requires a lot of water, and getting water is not very convenient.

The only way was to raise them near a river bend, but if she did that she would have to buy another piece of land.

"Is there?" Huo Beixi asked.

Hua Xiali shook his head. "No, how could there be pearls in every clam shell? Otherwise, wouldn't we be rich?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't have it. Don't be too disappointed. This thing is free. If you have it, you have it. If you don't have it, it doesn't matter. If everyone has it, wouldn't everyone go crazy for it? In the future, I will buy you any jewelry you want." Huo Beixi said.

"Really? You will buy me whatever I want?" Hua Xiali asked with a smile on his face. He also wanted to buy her any jewelry she wanted. His salary was only enough to buy some jewelry now, and the speed at which his salary increased could not keep up with the rising price of jewelry.

So if she wants to wear jewelry, she has to buy it herself. But some of the words are soothing to hear. After all, not every man is willing to say nice things to make his wife happy.

Some people don't even want to talk to their wives.

"What's the purpose of making money? Isn't the purpose of making money to spend? What's the point of saving money if you keep saving it and don't use it?" Huo Beixi said this, but he didn't stop working and continued to open freshwater clams.

Hua Xiali quickly took out the pearls and clam meat and placed them in two basins. The weather was cold now, so the clam meat would not go bad if she waited until the next day to process it. And after Huo Beixi returned, she could store the clam meat in the space and take it out when she processed it tomorrow.

"By the way, the clam shells that were opened last time are still piled in my yard. Are there any uses for those clam shells?" Huo Beixi suddenly remembered the empty clam shells piled in the corner of the yard and asked.

"Leave it for me, and I'll come get it when I have time." The shells of clams can be used as fertilizer for flowers, so it should also be possible to use them as fertilizer for vegetables.

When people ask her why the vegetables she grows are so delicious, she can say that they are grown using clam shells as fertilizer.

"I'll bring it to you tomorrow night. It's not convenient for you to carry so much." Huo Beixi said. It was such a small matter, why would she need to do it herself?

It took Huo Beixi more than three hours to clean the four large tanks of freshwater clams, from around seven in the evening to nearly eleven. It was already late at night, and as it was winter, not even the sound of insects could be heard outside. The whole world was silent.

Hua Xiali handed the soap to Huo Beixi, "Hurry up and wash your hands to get rid of the fishy smell. That's all for today. I'll come over tomorrow morning to take care of the rest."

"If you want to sell the pearls, give them to me and I will help you sell them. The price now should be higher than before." Huo Beixi glanced at the pearls in the basin.

The colors of the pearls are not exactly the same, but they are all light in color and none is dark.

The light gold, light purple, and light pink colors would look particularly beautiful if made into a pearl necklace for Hua Xiali.

"There's no rush about this. Let's talk about it later." Hua Xiali hasn't decided whether to sell the pearls or not. Anyway, he hasn't promised anyone and hasn't given them hope, so there's no chance of disappointing them.

"Okay, if you have anything to do, just tell me." Huo Beixi reminded.

In terms of making money, he can't compare to Hua Xiali. The salary of their ordinary unit cannot compare to that of individual entrepreneurs, but in other aspects, he can contribute.

Isn’t there a saying that those who have money contribute money and those who have no money contribute labor?

There's always a place where he can be used!

"Don't worry, you're my boyfriend. Who else can I turn to if I have something to do but you?" After locking the gate of the new house, the two walked back side by side. Huo Beixi held Hua Xiali's hand and walked forward in the dark without a flashlight.

After watching Hua Xiali enter the courtyard, Huo Beixi turned around and left. He walked to the well at the back and looked up at the window upstairs.

When he saw the light on in the room, Huo Beixi's eyes were gentler than anyone else had ever seen.

Not long after that, the restaurants in the town brought good news, saying that they wanted to buy vegetables grown in their vegetable base. They probably thought that they could buy them at a low price just like in the wholesale market. When they mentioned the price, Hua Xiali refused. They really thought that they were ignorant country people and the price they offered was even lower than the wholesale price in the farmer's market. Hua Xiali directly told them to go to the wholesale market for wholesale and not to buy her vegetables.
