Reborn in 1994, escaping from marriage and going sea fishing, I won!

Liu Meilan was very happy, her pearl farming plan seemed to be successful.

After such a long period of reproduction, the pearl oysters that were originally introduced from other places have become quite considerable in number.

Liu Meilan often arranged for Lao Wang and others to plant seaweed and spread bait, so that there were many fish and microorganisms in this sea area.

These are all the food that pearl oysters need. Because the food is relatively abundant, this place is very suitable for the growth of various pearl oysters.

合浦珠母贝的繁殖季节一般在 5- 10月份，5- 7月份为繁殖盛期，其间有 2- 4次繁殖高峰。一般情况下，成熟的合浦珠母贝每次产卵量可达数百万粒。（图）

The reproductive period of the giant pearl oyster is from April to November, with the peak period from May to August. The giant pearl oyster will lay eggs many times during the reproductive period, and its egg-carrying capacity is extremely large, about 4 million to 11 million eggs. A female oyster with a shell length of 5 cm can carry about 8 million eggs. (Picture)

Because Liu Meilan and her team created a very good environment here, most of the eggs survived.

At present, all these pearl oysters live on the seabed, and the breeding efficiency is low. Nowadays, the technology of pearl breeding is relatively mature, and it can be carried out in three dimensions in seawater, and the oysters can be raised in suspension to maximize the use of space.

Wang Lemei fished out a large white clam and wanted to open it to see, but Liu Meilan quickly stopped her: "Lemei, you're being rough and you'll hurt the clam."

Wang Lemei was stunned and asked, "Boss Liu, after the pearls are mined, can these pearl oysters still survive?"

"Of course!" Liu Meilan replied, "It takes several years for these pearl oysters to grow this big! They have to go through a strict pre-operative cleaning before the pearls can be taken out. After the pearls are taken out, these pearl oysters will be put back to recuperate. Half a month later, some pearl nuclei will be implanted inside, and in the second year, they will be able to produce more and bigger pearls."

Wang Lemei was surprised when she heard this: "So it can be done this way! Now can you open this white butterfly shell?"

Liu Meilan nodded: "Yes! I have learned the relevant technology."

After saying that, Liu Meilan took out the medicine box, put on gloves, and started preparing for the operation.

Everyone held their breath and watched Liu Meilan skillfully remove the pearl, apply some medicine on the wound, and then close the shell.

Wang Lemei looked at the seven or eight white pearls of different sizes with fascination. They exuded a lustrous light and were particularly charming: "Beautiful, so beautiful. Just like wild pearls."

Master Xiao Huo picked up a pearl and observed it carefully: "This should be considered a wild pearl."

Liu Meilan nodded: "This kind of free-range environment can indeed produce wild pearls. If we use conventional breeding methods, the pearls grown may be slightly inferior to wild ones, but the difference is definitely not that big."

There are many tiny pearl oysters on the seabed. Liu Meilan decided to sell the pearl oysters to farmers. This will not only save manpower, but also increase income for local people.

Master Huo looked at the pearl in his hand happily: "This pearl is about 13 mm in diameter. It can be used to make rings, earrings, and earrings. The effect will be very beautiful. This size is also very good for making necklaces."

Wang Lemei believed in her husband Xiao Huo's professional vision: "Great! Meilan, Dafu Jewelry really needs a large number of inexpensive and high-quality pearls."

Liu Meilan smiled and said: "We can't just pursue low prices. We should pay a corresponding price for the quality."

Wang Lemei was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Yes, I was wrong. We will buy it at the market price when the time comes. Our Dafu Jewelry is now taking the mid-to-high-end route, and we can't keep making cheap products."

"It's not impossible," Liu Meilan said with a smile. "You can create another brand and go for the low-end fashion route. Use copper, silver, or other materials. As long as the style is good, young people in their teens and twenties will also like to buy it. Opening a store in a downtown area or a place with a lot of traffic can also attract many customers."

Wang Lemei wrote it down: "Okay, I'll think about it when I get home."

At this time, Fu Chen fished up another colorful mother-of-pearl oyster: "Meilan, can you tell what kind of pearls are inside this oyster?"

Liu Meilan smiled, opened it skillfully, and took out colorful beads, eight in total, of different sizes and colors, with dazzling colorful patterns on them.

After Master Xiao Huo saw it, he immediately took it and said, "Let me take a look."

He held it in his hand as if it were a treasure.

Wang Lemei likes white pearls and doesn't have much feeling for colored pearls, but she also thinks this colorful bead is beautiful: "Honey, how about this one?"

"Beautiful, so beautiful." Master Huo couldn't let it go. He had already imagined many new models in his mind. They would definitely be very exquisite if made with such pearls. "Meilan, when will the large-scale pearl extraction begin?"

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "We have to wait until October, when the weather gets colder and the speed of pearl formation slows down."

"Isn't it now?" Master Xiao Huo smiled, "I can't wait to use these pearls to make jewelry!"

"Not now!" Liu Meilan replied, "Now is a good time for the mother-of-pearl to grow and the pearls to develop. Wait a few months. If you have an idea, design it first. When the pearls are harvested, you can start production immediately."

"Okay!" Master Xiao Huo agreed, looking forward to the pearls in October.

After spending an afternoon in this sea area, Liu Meilan discovered that there were many small pearl oysters on the seabed. As they grew bigger, this sea area would become too crowded and the pearl oysters would easily get sick.

Liu Meilan plans to sell these pearl oysters to people on the island who are willing to cultivate pearls.

When she came back in the evening, Liu Meilan came to the Tang family with a handful of pearls.

Today, Tang Xiaoyu and Ye Qiang also returned to the island.

"Meilan, how come you have time to come here?" Tang Xiaoyu saw Liu Meilan and hurriedly called out, "Ye Qiang, move the bench for Meilan."

Ye Qiang brought a stool over: "Meilan, there is no such thing as a visit without a reason. I guess it's a good thing."

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Ye Qiang guessed right. I'm here to find Uncle Tang."

Mayor Tang held a large watermelon, cut it into small pieces, and handed the best piece to Liu Meilan: "Meilan, is this about pearl farming?"

"Yes!" Liu Meilan took the watermelon and ate it while handing over a bag. "These are the pearls I picked in the pearl farming area. They are of very good quality. After breeding, there are many one- or two-year-old pearl oysters there. I want to catch them and sell them to the villagers on our island who want to farm pearls."

"I can guarantee that these pearl oysters are healthy and disease-free, and they grow very fast! In addition, Dafu Jewelry will sign a contract with them when we start breeding, and they will purchase the pearls we breed, so we don't have to worry about the products being unsalable."

Mayor Tang had no time to eat the watermelon at this time. He took the bag, opened it, grabbed a handful of pearls and put them in his palm.

Although Mayor Tang was not very familiar with pearls, he thought these pearls were very beautiful.

Ye Qiang and Tang Xiaoyu were even more curious, so they came over and grabbed a handful of pearls and looked at them in their palms.

Tang Xiaoyu owns all kinds of jewelry made of white pearls and black pearls, but this is the first time she has seen such colored pearls.
