Dugu Lanruo didn't say anything more and continued to play her favorite game.

Many people on the other side of the beach were already waiting, waiting for Dugu Lanruo to come back and start again.

Consistent money in a bucket, more than 12, as little as 9 mussels, are weighed by weight, a very fair game.

But not all mussels have pearls in them.

The rule is that each person can only choose one bucket each time, except for the first selection of Wan Guifei's noble status, the rest of the people rely on lottery to determine the order. Once everyone has chosen a bucket, the next round is drawn again.

The palace concubines had countless hours to play this game. And they are not in a hurry, and they may not be lucky to choose the first one.

Open mussels, most of the concubines are unwilling to hand over such rough work to others to do it for them, and they have to do it themselves.

"Wow......" More than a dozen palace maids suddenly exclaimed, and then hugged and shouted happily together.

Wan Guifei just glanced sideways, smiled faintly, and continued to let her personal maid open her own bucket.

If the mussel is big, there will be beads, and if there are not many mussels, the probability is great.

To say what kind of mussel has pearls inside, it seems that it is not visible from the appearance.

Really?

If Dugu Lan takes one casually, there will be beads, although the number is not large and the size is not big, but if there are beads, it will not be compensated, and it will definitely be higher than the usual expenditure of money.

"Sister, why did you choose it?" A teenage daughter of the clan stepped forward to ask for advice.

Dugu Lanruo said: "Sister is lucky, before you came, my sister had already thrown in hundreds of dollars." ”

If Dugu Lan didn't tell the truth, after Liu Mu fooled them for a long time, Baoqin finally got a message from the sea girl, and the mussels have beads and no beads, which are also knowledgeable.

If it weren't for Liu Mu to play this kind of game, they wouldn't have sunk to the bottom of the sea and picked up the mussels when they saw them.

In previous years, when they went into the water, they were also carefully selected and distinguished underwater, because their physical strength could not carry many pearl mussels, so they have accumulated countless experiences over the years. Basically, it can be made into ten mussels and three beads.

But whether there are big pearls or not, it's all a matter of luck.

The princess of the clan continued to open her mussel after receiving no useful information.

After Baoqin sat next to Dugu Lanruo, Dugu Lanruo said to Baoqin: "Baoqin, no matter what Lang Jun says, he can also let us open ten mussels and one pearl, is your fifty mussels and one pearl a little less." ”

"A lot, a lot of mussels and a pearl. I think we first used 100 yuan a bucket at that time, and then it was reduced to 10 yuan a barrel. This is always a bucket, there are too many beads, it's not for nothing, there is no fun without a heartbeat. Baoqin chuckled, and then pointed at the group of palace maids: "I'll go over and see what grade they have." ”

Before Dugu Lanruo could react, Baoqin had already trotted over, and she also let out a wow.

It was a large pearl with a diameter of more than a centimeter, and it was pink.

"Good stuff." Baoqin squeezed over, and a palace maid handed the pearl to Baoqin's hand, Baoqin took it and looked at it carefully, and kept nodding: "A little bigger is the level of the jewel." ”

The pearl that Baoqin said is according to the ancient pearl saying, seven pearls and eight treasures.

This rating has been available as early as the Qin and Han dynasties, and in the Jin Dynasty, there were subdivided pearl eight grades, that is, the eight grades of pearls.

Seven pearls are pearls with a diameter of seven minutes, and seven points are equivalent to 1.4 to 1.5 centimeters, which is because one foot in the Han Dynasty was only 21.35 centimeters.

"This one is also rare. In Chang'an, it is worth at least fifty yuan. ”

"Almost." Baoqin agrees with this statement, you must know that a string of three-point East Pearl is dozens of money, and the general high-grade pearl flower hairpin is also a two-point pearl, or even a lower-level eight hundred sons, thousands of sons.

Chiko is no longer a small pearl, it is a pearl with a diameter of more than three millimeters. Eight hundred is about 3.5 millimeters.

Baoqin liked this pearl, and whispered to several palace maids: "I bought fifty guan, you are lucky now, maybe if you change fifty buckets, there will be a jewel." ”

These palace maids discussed for a while, and immediately decided to exchange.

That pearl turned into fifty lottery rolls, that is, fifty barrels of pearls.

A low-ranking concubine saw Baoqin take away the pearl, and also came to Baoqin, she already had a small jar of pearls, but none of them had a diameter of more than four points, a large number of eight hundred sub-levels, a few three-point, and a pearl that was barely considered a four-point.

After bargaining, Baoqin took the pearls for ten dollars.

Returning to Dugu Lanruo's side, although Dugu Lanruo was still looking in front of him, he whispered to Baoqin: "Lang Jun taught you badly, the mussel was provided by you, and you were the one who recovered the pearl." No matter how you calculate this, the biggest beneficiary in the end is you, and if you calculate the money you give to Zhufang, your profit is really not low. ”

"Princess, if this pearl is made by a high-quality jeweler, a flying phoenix hairpin, and some small beads, it is not expensive in Wutong Fang."

"The problem is, you've only used fifty barrels of mussels."

"Perhaps, they opened another orb, this depends on luck, who can say who has made a steady profit." When he was talking, he kept wiping the pearl with a silk handkerchief, and closed his mouth with a smile.

Dugu Lanruo said helplessly: "It's really bad to learn." ”

If Dugu Lan is for fun, hugging the qin is purely for making money.

And many of the concubines are from big families, with a thick family background, and they have high-quality pearls opened by their own hands, which is more exciting than the ones they bought. Although the palace maids are not as good as the concubines, they can also make some money, once they open valuable pearls, and then open them after exchanging them for money, they may make a fortune.

Moreover, the rich concubines will reward those who are less than a thousand sons to their palace maids.

Dugu Lanruo snatched the pearl from Baoqin, looked at it in her hand, and then whispered: "You go and arrange it, and add a few good mussels to the barrel in the next round." ”

Baoqin said that he understood, and quietly left to a corner of the bay, where there was a long row of wooden houses, where the servants and maids lived, and behind this row of wooden houses there was a slender bay that stretched deep.

Baoqin went to the beach and walked barefoot from the sea to the depths.

There were also a few wooden houses here, and the two older women of the wooden houses saw Baoqin and hurriedly greeted them, and after the two women gave a salute, they hugged Qin and said, "Pick three of our finest pearl mussels and mix them into those wooden barrels, and two of them are in one of the barrels." ”

"Yes." The two women nodded, walked to the water, and quickly picked out two of them in the iron cage in the water.

Let Baoqin see it, and they arranged for someone to mix it in the next batch of barrels.

Baoqin said to the second daughter: "The two of you will discuss it yourself, there will be a ship to Chang'an in half a month, and you will definitely go to Chang'an, but this time you can only go to one person, and one person must be left here to preside over the new ship of Xinzhufang to go to sea." It must be guaranteed that the mussels are still alive in Chang'an. ”
