Chapter 213: Watermelon Pearls

"It's really a big fish, fierce enough." Looking at the herring marlin that was still shaking, Li Zhen showed admiration on her face, even if she was caught, she was still unwilling to give in, she was worthy of being the most ferocious predator in the sea, and she was really fierce enough.

This fish is two meters long and weighs at least one hundred and fifty catties, which is not the largest in the herring family, but it is not small, it should be regarded as a semi-adult marlin, enough to eat for a long time.

"Take it down and let the chef cook it well." Although I appreciate the indomitable nature of this marlin, Li Zhen will not release it for this, the weak and the strong eat the strong in the sea, but there is no trace of mercy, this marlin is so fierce, you can think of how ferocious it is in the sea. Such a ferocious killer, yesterday you ate others, today you are eaten by yourself, it is also a cycle of heavenly principles.

The only thing that's a little strange is that this marlin doesn't like to live in the blue waters of the open sea? How did you get to the sea?

However, considering that Borneo is now a wild place, far from the mainland, it should be normal for this marlin to hunt here.

Anyway, Li Zhen couldn't wait, because the speed was too fast, marlin was not a common thing, such a rare delicacy, of course he wanted to try it.

"Yes." Yu Chi Baoqing walked away with the marlin, even with the size of his little giant, he had to lift it above his head to move to deal with the marlin, otherwise the marlin would be dragged to the ground.

"Yo Roar~"

"Hahaha......"

"Woohoo~"

“……”

Here, Li Zhen had just sent away Yu Chi Baoqing, and was just about to calm down and continue fishing, when the people who were playing in the sea in the distance suddenly became noisy.

"What's going on over there? Why is it so noisy? Li Zhen asked the left and right.

"Let's take a look." The guard replied and ran over there.

I heard his shouting from a distance, and then soon saw him running back with a man with only a white cloth wrapped around his body, and at the same time, Li Zhen also noticed that the people who were originally swimming in the sea water also came ashore one after another, and began to go ashore to get dressed.

"Your Highness." The guard held a bright thing in his hand, and shouted as he ran: "Your Highness, look, there is auspiciousness, there is auspiciousness." ”

"What...... Such a big pearl? From a distance just now, Li Zhen hadn't seen it clearly, but when the guard got closer, he realized that the bright thing he was holding in the guard's hand turned out to be a pearl—a very big, very large pearl.

How big is this pearl?

It has not been accurately measured, so Li Zhen is not clear, but he can clearly see that the pearl held in his heart actually occupies all the chest of the guard, blocking the entire chest, which means that the guard at this time is actually running over with the pearl in his arms......

Li Zhen didn't know how wide the person's chest was, but what he knew was that his guards were the strongest warriors, and the width of the chest was more than fifty centimeters. In other words, the diameter of the pearl should be at least 50 centimeters.

Li Zhen knew that in later generations, the world's largest pearl was sixty-seven centimeters long and weighed thirty-four kilograms, but the pearl was not round, but an irregular body like an ingot.

But what about the one the guard is holding?

Li Zhen doesn't know what the situation is on the back, but at least the side he sees is round, very round, if the back is also like this, then the value of this bead is great, put on the market, at least worth thousands of taels of silver, if you meet a buyer who likes this mouthful, the value will exceed 10,000 yuan.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, look, such a big pearl." The guard gasped and gently placed the pearl on the blanket.

It can be seen that this pearl is very heavy, even if the guards are elite who have been trained in every way, and they are very tired when they run a few hundred meters quickly with this more than sixty pounds of things.

As the guards put the pearl down, a turquoise pearl with a diameter of at least two feet (sixty-six centimeters) appeared in front of Li Zhen.

"Sure enough, it's a good pearl." Li Zhen exclaimed, he hadn't seen green pearls before, but there were very few green ones that were so turquois, and with such a big size, it could be said that this was definitely a priceless treasure.

What is even more unexpected is that this pearl is very round, there is no irregular bulge or depression around the body, although it is not the most formal round, but a little oval shape, but this does not affect its value. On the contrary, because of this shape, the value of this pearl is doubled, because on top of the green appearance of this pearl, there are very regular black stripes.

Oval shape, green appearance, black stripes......

Isn't this just a watermelon?

"It's amazing, what a big watermelon pearl." Li Zhen was pleasantly surprised, watermelon was introduced to China in the last years of the Sui Dynasty, but this thing has always been popular in the Western Regions, and it is not common in the Central Plains.

However, don't forget that the Li family, as a royal family, is of course qualified to use the best things in the world, and even if they don't take the initiative to use them, others will give them the best things.

Therefore, don't look at watermelons are not common among the people, but in fact, among the high-level people within the Tang Dynasty, they have long been a rotten street - at least every year, the 36 countries of the Western Regions have to pay a lot of tribute to the royal family.

Coupled with the existence of Li Zhen's historical bug, now watermelons, a good thing that does not occupy an area, have become popular in Chang'an.

Therefore, Li Zhen is not worried about leaking her mouth.

"Yes, when the subordinates saw it, they couldn't help but go up and take a bite." The guard chimed in, showing that he had also seen watermelons.

The more Li Zhen looked at it, the more she liked it, the shape of this pearl was too much like a watermelon, except for the inconsistency in size, it was simply lifelike.

And Li Zhen knows that in later generations, there are more watermelons with a diameter of more than one meter and a weight of two or three hundred catties, and her pearl watermelon, although it is big enough, can only be regarded as a child compared to those giant watermelons.

"You found this pearl?" After watching carefully for a while, Li Zhen turned his gaze to the man who was only wrapped in a white cloth, this person he knew, was also a halberd (Zheng Jiupinxia) of the prince's Zuo Nei Mansion, which seemed to be called Wu Qi.

Such a good pearl, of course, has to fall into his own hands, a rough man like Wu Qi doesn't know how to maintain pearls.
