A stunning mermaid dressed in the 1980s, the whole family lined up to pamper her endlessly.

Chapter 216 Ambergris

After showing off the gemstones, Yun Jiao took out the three black shells.

"What kind of shell is this? We've never seen one like this around here."

Yun Jiao nodded: "The orca was brought from a very far place."

There should be pearls inside.

Her eyes sparkled as she used a knife to open the clam, revealing the meat inside.

She felt around inside with her fingers and quickly found a round, hard lump—it was definitely a pearl.

As soon as the pearl was taken out, gasps of surprise erupted from all around.

"This... a pearl!"

And it's not small either.

Black pearls, but not pure black.

After washing it clean, you can clearly see that the black pearl has a deep green luster around it when you place it in your hand.

This pearl is about 10mm in size, with a round and full shape, and its luster is the best they have ever seen.

The oyster pearls that were previously extracted from oysters looked like inferior products next to it.

"It's so beautiful, it's gorgeous."

When it comes to appreciating pearls, most women understand their beauty better than men.

"Black pearl? I've never heard of it in all my life. In ancient times, only emperors and nobles could afford such a thing."

Although they live by the sea, sea pearls are extremely rare.

Even the famous Dongzhu pearl is still a freshwater pearl.

Pearls are more commonly produced by freshwater mussels than by marine shellfish.

Then there are South Sea pearls.

In ancient times, a popular profession was pearl diving, where women would collect these kinds of sea pearls from the deep sea.

However, they don't have large-scale mother-of-pearl oysters here.

Yun Jiao really liked the black pearl and was thinking of asking the orca where it came from so she could see if she could go and collect more mother-of-pearls.

"Quickly check if there are any other black berries."

At this moment, everyone is also full of anticipation for the remaining two mother-of-pearls.

Unfortunately, each of these mother-of-pearl oysters contains only one pearl.

Of the remaining two black shells, only one has one.

It is also larger than the first pearl that was produced.

It is 12mm in diameter and has a deep green luster, but this pearl has some flaws.

However, the flaw does not detract from the beauty of this pearl.

Seeing that her mother and aunt liked it, Yun Jiao directly stuffed the pearls into their hands so they could look at them to their heart's content.

She liked it, but it didn't bring her much surprise.

After all, she had seen tens of thousands of pearls, among which the most beautiful were shark pearls.

The mermaid pearl is the energy source within the mermaid's body. It is about the size of a ping-pong ball and can actually emit light.

Moreover, that kind of light is very good for the human body, and has the effect of curing diseases and prolonging life.

Besides that, there's mermaid tears, which can help you sleep.

The mermaid's tears turned into pearls, and Yun Jiao herself collected many of the mermaid's tears.

In the world she lived in her previous life, the two best types of pearls were found on merfolk.

So she liked these pearls, but they didn't surprise or amaze her.

The reason I like Chun Chun is because the merfolk's obsession with gems and pearls has come to pass.

"It's so pretty."

Clearly, the women in the family also liked it very much.

Yun Jiao pondered what to find to store the two pearls.

There are still too few pearls. When the weather gets warmer, she will go out to sea with her fathers. She will not only look for fish, but also look for mother-of-pearl oysters that produce pearls.

We also need to find gems.

I want lots and lots!

The wooden frame that Yun Chenbei had made according to Yun Jiao's request was brought to him the next day.

It was separated. Old Mu came over too, and the two of them went to Yun Jiao's room and started banging and knocking.

Yun Jiao also put down her book and strolled around them with her hands behind her back.

It also has several fluffy tails.

While Mr. Mu was assembling the frame, his two dogs kept causing trouble, which made him so angry that his beard bristled.

Then Yun Jiao, who was idly eating sunflower seeds on the side, along with her dog, cat, rabbit, and sea turtle, were all kicked out of the room.

The door slammed shut.

Yun Jiao was fuming.

This is her room!

She squatted down and grabbed the two dogs by their ears: "It's all your fault!"

In almost half a year, the two dogs have grown quite a bit.

The two dogs were of Chow Chow lineage, chubby and with thick fur.

In addition, their parents had good genes, and Yun Jiao fed them very well, so they grew to be exceptionally sturdy.

It was a tiny bit taller than her waist.

Yun Jiao didn't leave either; she waited outside the room.

He ate his own snacks and occasionally fed some to the two dogs and the eldest cat.

Once the frame was finally set up, Yun Jiao couldn't wait to run inside and take a look.

like.

The dark red color with a touch of antiquity, the design that fits the wall, and the staggered yet beautiful wooden lattice.

Yun Jiao circled the wooden shelf with the joy of a puppy, then eagerly dragged a wooden box out from under the bed, wanting to display her collection one by one.

Old Mu chuckled and joked, "This old man wants to see what treasures you've collected, and why you're even making a special display shelf to show them off."

He walked over with his hands behind his back and saw Yun Jiao lying on her stomach, pulling out a grayish-white object from under the bed.

Old Mu glanced at it and chuckled... a broken stone...

and many more!

Why does that thing look so familiar?
"and many more!"

He almost shouted it out.

Yun Chenbei, who was helping his younger sister pack her things, was startled by the shout.

He looked at his master with a puzzled expression, wondering why he was so startled.

"Where did you get this thing?!"

"Move aside, let me see, let me take a look."

Yun Jiao blinked: "I picked it up."

Old Mu leaned closer, looking at and smelling the grayish-white stone, muttering to himself from time to time.

Yun Chenbei and Yun Jiao squatted to the side, staring at him.

"Grandpa Mu, what is this?"

Old Mu: "You don't know?"

Yun Jiao shook her head: "I don't know."

"I didn't know you collected these?" Old Mu was even more shocked when he saw her innocent little eyes and face.

Yun Jiao scratched her head, looking innocent and bewildered: "I just felt that this stone looked a bit strange, and it also had a strange smell, so I collected it."

Old Mu: …………

"Tsk tsk tsk... What kind of luck do you have?"

"This stuff is a real treasure, you know what ambergris is?"

Before Yun Jiao could react, Yun Chenbei, who was standing to the side, stared wide-eyed.

Old Master Mu: "Such a large piece of ambergris, and you actually found it by such a strange coincidence without even recognizing it. This stuff is very valuable!"

Yun Jiao: "What is ambergris?"

"It's sperm whale excrement. After drifting at sea for decades or even centuries, it becomes real ambergris. The white one is the best quality. This piece of yours is so big, only a small part is grayish-white, and most of it is white. Just this one piece is enough for you to buy several houses in the capital."

Yun Jiao was initially quite disgusted when she heard that this stuff was sperm whale excrement, but after hearing the rest, she immediately stopped being disgusted.

Although I don't know how much houses cost in the capital, this thing is definitely worth a lot of money!
