Chapter 109: Weaving Beads

Buhara's face is relatively immature, he looks only thirteen or fourteen years old, but his height and body shape are about eighteen years old, and he is tall and fat.

He has a cropped hair, short and thick eyebrows, small eyes, a relatively rare upturned nose, and a big mouth that always wears a smile, giving people a simple and gentle feeling.

As a more conspicuous person in the reef area, Luo You noticed that Buhara's distinctive appearance and body shape were very similar to the examiner in the first hunter test after the plot began in the original book.

Afterwards, Luo deliberately went to contact Bharat, and only confirmed his guess after learning the name.

Bharat also came to participate in the hunter test, but he came to Mafando a month ago.

After arriving in Marfando, his travel expenses were almost covered by the room rate. After learning about the existence of drift shells, he used the last bit of money to rent a net bag, and fished drift shells in the reef area every day. Daily meal.

This guy is not very lucky, he can catch a lot of drift shells every day, but the pearls he gets out can only be regarded as average, and the money he gets is basically used to maintain the room and net bag rent.

The reason why he insists on eating drift shellfish every day is that on the one hand, the only seafood he can get is drift shellfish; shellfish.

The two walked on the street of Marfando, and along the way they could see gambling stalls.

Various types of drift shells are placed on the table for buyers to choose from. The minimum price of a drift shell is 50,000 guineas, but the price is generally more than 100,000.

This is the busiest time of the day, and many people gather at various gambling stalls.

One after another, some people choose the drift shells, pay to open the shells, and in just a few minutes, they can know whether they are making money or losing money.

After the rise of gambling, the meat of drifting shells was gradually replaced by the value of pearls. Nowadays, there are very few people like Buhara who come for the meat.

Some time ago, a lucky young man got a few black pearls the size of a thumbnail, and was bought by a jeweler on the spot at a price of seven million quats.

The young man was so happy that he couldn't hold back, so he threw seven million ring nuns into gambling again, but he lost everything and became one of the shell hunters on the reef area.

This phenomenon is not uncommon in Marfando.

Luo originally wanted to play with the bet, to see if he could produce a beautiful purple pearl, which he could bring back and give to Ma Qi.

However, during this period of time, he has been practicing boat racing, and this guy Buhara automatically sent twenty or thirty drifters every day, so he stopped participating in gambling.

Dozens of drift shells are opened every day, and a lot of pearls are produced, but none of them are valuable.

After gambling became popular, Ma Fando can produce a lot of pearls every day. As the saying goes, the rare is the most expensive. The more ordinary pearls are opened, the price will naturally become lower and lower. Only rare and good-looking pearls Pearls are valuable.

Walk through the lively streets and come to the quiet residential area.

Luo led Bharat back to the grandmother's house.

In the courtyard, the old lady was sitting by the door, weaving a fishing net, while Sambika was helping.

The two walked into the courtyard, and Buhara came to the well in the courtyard with ease, threw the drift shell on the side of the well, and began to draw water from the well without Luo's order.

"How's the boat racing going?" The old lady stopped what she was doing and looked up at Luo with a faint smile on her face.

"Almost." Luo smiled.

The old lady nodded slightly, and said with emotion: "After outsiders came to Marfando, few people would be willing to practice boat racing. Instead, they were all attracted by gambling, and they didn't want to think about how to get on the boat when the time came."

"Racing is still quite difficult." Luo smiled wryly. He managed to manage the boat after flipping the boat many times.

"Is the skill of eating easy to practice?" The old lady stared.

Luo Ruoruo said: "You also know that it is difficult to practice,

If I wasn't interested, I would give up after a few days of practice. "

"It's no harm to learn more skills, because people who give up because it's too difficult will be like that for the rest of their lives." The old lady taught.

"You're right!"

Luo is like a well-behaved student, with a very correct attitude, but he sees Sambika cast a pitiful look.

The old grandma asked Sangbika to learn to weave fishing nets from the point of view that more skills should not be overwhelming.

If the old lady was not alone, Luo would really have thought that the old lady wanted to bring Sangbika into the door as a granddaughter-in-law.

Sensing Sambika's gaze, Luo pretended not to see it. He suspected that if there was no boat racing to practice, maybe the old lady would let him learn to weave fishing nets.

In any case, Sambika cannot be saved, it can be said that there is nothing he can do.

Seeing Luo pretending not to see, Sambika was quite helpless.

"Ro, it's ready."

At this time, Bharat, who had fetched a large bucket of water, couldn't wait to shout.

"Open them all."

Luo walked to the well, squatted down and looked at the thirty-one drifting shells neatly arranged on the ground.

The area of ​​each shellfish is as large as a washbasin, the shell surface is slightly flat, dark purple in color, and the color is quite deep.

He has already eaten the meat of drifting shellfish, and the data has only increased by 0.1%, which is not the average value, and the effect is pitifully low.

Buhara rubbed his hands, and directly used brute force to break open the drift shells. After breaking open one, he headed for the next one.

Luo was picking up pearls, picking out pearls from the light yellow shell, and keeping them in the basin beside him.

The value of a pearl depends on its luster, color, size, and the presence or absence of surface defects and shapes. Pearls that are hard to come by are natural and do not need artificial carving.

The pearls dug out from the drift shells are basically the same, occasionally there are pearls of good color and size, but the colors are too common, and the value is not much higher.

After digging more than a dozen pearls, Luo suddenly dug out a natural black pearl from a drift shell.

Seeing this beautiful black pearl, Sambika's eyes immediately appeared in Luo's mind...

"What a beautiful pearl." Bharat was also attracted by this black pearl, and immediately stopped.

When the old lady and Sambika heard the voice, they both looked at the black pearl in Luo's hand.

"Good luck." The old lady stared at the black pearl and said, "It's been a long time since I saw such a good-looking black pearl."

"Bharat, continue to open the shell."

Luo paused, let Bharat continue, then walked up to Sangbika, handed the black pearl over, and simply said, "I'll see you off."

Sangbika was taken aback when she heard the words, and the old lady beside her had a look of teasing in her eyes, and said lightly: "Xiao Sang, according to our custom here, if a man gives you a good-looking pearl, you have to take it."

The man gave the beads, and the woman weaved the beads, and then it became a token of love, which the old lady didn't say.

"is that so…"

Sangbika came back to his senses, no doubt about him, took the pearl slowly, and looked at it carefully, feeling a little happy.

After seeing Sangbika accepting the black pearl, Luo ran to the well again.

He felt that his luck would be very good today, as long as he dug out another purple pearl, it would be perfect, and he could give it to Ma Qi at that time.

Purple is Madge's favorite color, corresponding to her hair color, and black pearls are as beautiful as Sambika's eyes, so it is the most suitable gift for her.

When Luo turned and left, the old lady looked at Sangbika and said seriously: "Xiao Sang, I think you have learned enough to weave nets, now I will teach you how to weave beads."

"what?"

Sangbika was dumbfounded. She hadn't finished learning net weaving yet, and now she was weaving beads again.
