When Liu Meilan reached the bottom of the water, she actually didn't need oxygen, but with her family around, she couldn't act too special.

Originally, she knew from her spiritual sense that there were many pearl shells underneath, but after seeing them with her own eyes, she realized that there were far more than she had imagined.

Liu Meilan picked out some small ones and continued to use her spiritual sense to stimulate the sea water, sending these pearl shells to farther places so that they could continue to grow.

The pearl shells that grew very large were kept. She had a net bag on her waist, which contained more than twenty extra-large pearl shells.

After coming out of the water, Liu Meilan climbed up swiftly and prepared to open the pearl shells, but was stopped by Old Man Liu.

"Meilan, go change your clothes and come back to open the car." Grandpa Liu was worried about his granddaughter.

Actually, this little bit of cold was nothing to Liu Meilan, but her grandfather cared about her, and Liu Meilan couldn't refuse. "Okay, there's a water heater, I'll take a shower."

Twenty minutes later, Liu Meilan came out fully dressed in boots and a rubber apron, holding tools and began to pick pearls.

Mr. Liu was also very curious and squatted down to take a look. "Meilan, are there any pearls inside?"

"Yes!" Liu Meilan answered confidently.

Mr. Liu was puzzled. "Yes, you didn't choose from the pearl oysters you farmed yourself. It seems that you fished them from the bottom of the sea?"

Liu Meilan gently opened the pearl oyster's shell with a tool, revealing several round bulges in the flesh. "We're not breeding them, but other farmers encountered storms and the waves rolled some of them here. Look, Grandpa, the bigger the bulge, the bigger the pearl inside!"

"That's really strange. I heard that the farmers suffered a lot of losses. Are they all on your side?" Old Man Liu was stunned.

Liu Meilan smiled and shook her head, "How is that possible? There's only a part of it here, which was carried over by the waves. There's not much that has been swept into other sea areas."

Old Master Liu breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought these pearls had become spirits! Let's open them and see how big they are!"

"Okay!" Liu Meilan replied as she dug out a pearl. A pearl the size of her index finger appeared before her, sparkling in the sunlight. "Grandpa, does it look good?"

Mr. Liu stroked his chin and exclaimed in admiration, "This is a South Sea pearl! It's considered semi-wild! It's really beautiful. Is it two centimeters in diameter?"

Liu Meilan nodded. "This is the largest one, I estimate it's 2.3 centimeters. It's the best among pearls!"

Looking at the halo of light floating above and the lustrous luster emanating from it, Old Master Liu couldn't help but sigh, "Rare and exotic treasures, pearls are one of them, so beautiful!"

Liu Meilan replied: "The pearl I caught took three full years to grow, that's why it is so big and so beautiful."

Mr. Liu was curious, "If I keep this until next year, will it grow bigger?"

Liu Meilan nodded. "That's the theory, but pearls are too big, so the jewelry made from them might not look good. Pearls of this size are perfect!"

"Of course, I will also leave some pearl shells on the seabed to continue growing. When they grow into bigger pearls, they can be used not only to make necklaces but also to make other accessories."

As Liu Meilan picked the pearls from the pearl oysters one by one, the bowl was filled with pearls of different sizes and colors.

This is related to the type of pearl oyster and the environment in which it grows. Because the growth conditions on the seabed are so varied, even if it comes from the same type of pearl oyster, the color of the pearls will not be exactly the same.

When the children saw these round pearls, they wanted to reach out and grab them.

Fu Chen quickly hugged the three children, as these little things would get stuck if they were caught in his mouth.

Then Liu Meilan asked Lao Yang to pick up twenty cultured pearl oysters, extract all the pearls and put them in another bowl.

Mr. Liu put on his reading glasses and observed carefully. "You know what? If you don't look closely, wild pearls and cultured pearls are almost the same! I can't see any difference."

The old man spent the first half of his life handling guns, so he's really not good with these surprise gadgets.

Fu Chen came over to take a look, "Grandpa, I can't see any difference either!"

Liu Meilan raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled smugly, "At first glance, they look similar, but when you look closely and compare them, you can see that they are a little different. They don't have that halo or texture."

Fu Chen and Mr. Liu looked at each other, and they couldn't find such a feeling.

After finishing all this, Liu Meilan learned how to drive a yacht from the captain and went home.

With experience in driving a large ship, it is actually not difficult to drive a yacht nowadays.

Captain Wu was surprised. "Mr. Liu, you learn so fast! In a few days, I'll be out of a job!"

Liu Meilan waved her hand. "Although I can drive, there's no need for me to do so! I'm here on the yacht to have fun, not to drive! Don't worry, you won't lose your job!"

Captain Wu breathed a sigh of relief. He'd been a seaman before, often away for half a year, unable to take care of his family. Later, he got a yacht driver's license and started driving yachts for wealthy individuals, earning a decent annual income.

Unless there are special circumstances, I can go home almost every day.

Even if the wealthy have the need to go overseas, it will only be for three or two days, not more than a week.

As soon as I got home, Tang Xiaoyu came with little bell!

"How come you are free to come here today?" Liu Meilan asked.

Tang Xiaoyu replied, "Yesterday I heard you say you wanted to visit the pearl farm. This is the focus of our next work. I think your trip will be worthwhile. You should be able to bring back some pearls."

Liu Meilan nodded and took out two bags of pearls. "Let's see which ones are farmed and which ones are wild?"

Tang Xiaoyu looked at the pearls on the plate and observed carefully, "The one on the right should be wild!"

Fu Chen's eyes lit up, "Tang Xiaoyu, how did you figure that out?"

Tang Xiaoyu replied: "At first glance they look the same, but if you look closely at the halo of wild pearls, you'll see more texture and feel."

Fu Chen shook his head and smiled. "It's just that everyone has their own unique talents. You and Meilan can tell, but my grandfather and I have discovered that these pearls all look pretty much the same!"

Tang Xiaoyu laughed out loud. "Men don't pay attention to these things, but we women put on makeup and wear beautiful jewelry every day! We touch and look at them every day. Even if we don't understand, we still have our own feelings. Women's pursuit of beauty is very intuitive."

Liu Meilan agreed, "Yes!"

Tang Xiaoyu looked at the pearls with envy, "Meilan, Lemei just called me. She's also on the island. She said she'd like to come over when you get back."

Liu Meilan was surprised. "What's the matter?"

Tang Xiaoyu thought for a moment, "I think it's about the pearls! The pearls our company cultivated last year were of excellent quality! Once they were released, they caused a huge sensation both domestically and internationally!"

"I just saw the pearls you brought over. This year's quality, especially the wild ones, is even better than last year! If Dafu Jewelry wants to compete for high-end customers, it must have a stable supplier of high-quality materials."
