When the first ray of sunshine gently shines on the earth, all things wake up and the tranquility of the countryside is gently broken.

"Push harder! Come on!"

"Push harder! Push harder!"

Bai Wanyue stood by the pond, shouting and encouraging the people who were pulling the rope. Zhou Sisi, the eldest son of the Wu family, and several other boys in the family were dragging the pearl-bearing clams ashore.

I had agreed on the cooperation with Tan Yalan last night. Zhou Sisi would provide the drawings and patterns, and Tan Yalan would lead the production. The two of them would work together to make pearl jewelry.

So early in the morning Zhou Sisi led people to start fishing up the river clams to check their quality. Last night she also put a lot of spiritual spring water into the pond overnight. She believed that today's pearls would definitely give her a big surprise.

Tan Yalan also stood excitedly by the pond. She wanted to help, but was afraid of delaying things, so she could only stand on the shore and keep looking.

She saw with her own eyes yesterday that Zhou Sisi had drawn a necklace design and was simply astonished. She never expected that Zhou Sisi was so amazing and was both literary and martial. She really admired her more and more.

Soon a long row of bamboo cages were dragged up. The clams in each cage looked really big and fat. Even if there were no pearls, if they were to be eaten, they would be an extremely delicious delicacy if roasted with bacon.

"Let me do it, let me do it, I can open this!"

"My home is by the sea, and I often pick up shells. I know how to do this!" As soon as Bai Wanyue saw the river clams being dragged up, she immediately trotted over, so excited.

If she hadn't chatted too late and it hadn't been too dark last night, she would have come over to open the clams overnight. She was really interested in farming river clams. If they could be raised in a pond, then what about the sea?

When she returned to the island to take a look at the environment, Sisi said that saltwater pearls have more colors than freshwater pearls. Maybe she could also try to culture saltwater pearls!

Bai Wanyue quickly cut open the clam's shell with her knife, then broke the clam into two halves with force. She dug out several milky white pearls with a warm glow from the clam's flesh, each the size of a soybean.

"Wow! Look, this is so beautiful!" Bai Wanyue exclaimed, but when she looked up, she thought there was someone around her, but there was no one around.

Because everyone else was squatting on the ground with a knife in their hands, opening clams. It was not as exciting as watching others open clams as doing it yourself, so now all the Zhou family members were squatting on the ground, opening clams and digging for pearls themselves!

"Look, mine is pink. It's so beautiful!" Tan Yalan shouted excitedly, with a huge pink pearl in her hand.

This pearl is as big as a thumb and its color is light pink. It will look great inlaid on a hairpin. Tan Yalan has already thought about what style of hairpin to make with this big pink pearl!

"Mine are pretty too, they're lavender! And beige too!" Song Lingyun also raised her hand. The pearls in her hand were much smaller, the size of peas. Each one was also very beautiful, but the shape was not round, but a bit like oval.

Zhou Sisi also held the white pearls she had just dug out and looked at them in the sunlight. She wanted to see if the gravel was still in the middle, which would make it easier to drill holes and make jewelry later.

Because they didn't need so many pearls now, they just wanted to see how big the pearls were now, so they opened two cages of pearls and then stopped.

Sure enough, the clam meat was not wasted. Han Yue Niang and Da Wang took it back and saved it for cooking at noon.

"With these pearls, I think our jewelry store will be a big hit!" Tan Yalan's lips trembled with excitement. The thought that her hobby could be turned into a career was something she never dared to dream of.

Away from the Dongyan Palace and away from all that mess, she thought that Yalan would be able to achieve something on her own, and she felt so excited that she wanted to cry just thinking about it.

"Not only pearls, but also this clam shell can be made into jewelry. Look at the layer of luster inside. Isn't it very beautiful? I can make it into a bracelet. It will be great to wear in the summer!"

Zhou Sisi picked up a large clam shell, pointed at the shiny layer inside and said to Tan Yalan.

"What's wrong with your brain? Why didn't I think of it? I'm so stupid!" Tan Yalan was so annoyed that she almost wanted to pry open her head to see why others were so smart and she was so stupid!

"Everyone has their own strengths, and you have your own weaknesses. At least you played your arrogance very well before, didn't you? Why do you want to belittle yourself? Right!"

Bai Wanyue started talking non-stop, making faces as she spoke, which made Tan Yalan blush again. She was so anxious that she stamped her feet.

"It's written in the book that it's a good idea to correct mistakes once you know them! I'm not like that anymore!"

"The book also says that you can't change your diet! Tsk tsk tsk tsk, I think you're in trouble!" Bai Wanyue continued to speak, her main point being to make people angry to death.

"What is that? What does it mean?" Tan Yalan didn't quite understand and had a face full of question marks.

"Sister Xiaolan, I know this, I know. What Sister Bai means is that a dog will always eat shit! Right, Sister Bai!" At this time, the fat boy Zhou Yun'an also came over with the dug pearls in his hands. His clever little head understood it at once and he immediately responded.

After the little fat boy Zhou Yun'an put down the pearl, he ran away happily, because he had received the look from his sister that signaled him to run quickly and retreat immediately, so as not to come back and fight and get him covered in blood again.

"Okay! You said I'm a dog, wait for me, don't run away, compensate me for my hair!" Tan Yalan also reacted at this time, and ran towards Bai Wanyue with her teeth bared.

"Tsk! Catch me first! You're a defeated general!" Bai Wanyue flew up the tree on tiptoe, turned back and rolled her eyes with disdain.

The two men, one was provoking on the tree, while the other was anxiously running around under the tree.

Zhou Sisi and Song Lingyun were no longer surprised. Bai Wanyue would bring up past events from time to time, and every time it would make Tan Yalan so embarrassed and angry that she would jump up and down. They were tired of this and had become immune to it!

"Sister Yun, everything is fine here now. I want to go see my eldest and second aunts this afternoon. We'll leave tomorrow afternoon!"

"Just like my grandma said, let's get to the bottom of this as soon as possible so we can return to Beijing!"

Zhou Sisi put all the pearls she dug out into a small cloth bag, and then made a suggestion to Song Lingyun.

"Okay! Then we'll go early and come back early!" Song Lingyun nodded, his eyes firm.
