Fisherwoman: After my divorce, I became rich by fishing at sea

"Black Butterfly Shell?!"

Fu Wan's voice suddenly rose, her tone filled with excitement.

"Dad, is this true? Are you sure this is a black lipped oyster? The black lipped oyster that produces black pearls?"

Fu Wan repeatedly examined the scallop in her hand, but the appearance of this scallop was nothing like the black lipped scallop she had heard of.

The black shell even has a lot of annoying barnacles on it.

It looks so ordinary, how could it be the legendary black lipped oyster that can produce Tahitian black pearls!

"Sure, I'm absolutely sure!"

Boss Fu nodded excitedly, "When I was sailing in the open sea, our ship owner specially asked us to go to the sea to look for black lipped clams.

I still remember that it was in the deep sea, it was pitch black and I couldn't see anything. This thing ran very fast. We searched for half a month but didn't see any trace of the black lipped oyster.

Later, an experienced older brother took us to catch scallops with a net, but we didn't catch many, only about two or three hundred kilograms.

I remember it very clearly, this is what the black butterfly shell looked like!

Dark and not very big!"

Boss Fu gave a long and rambling account, and then couldn't help but ask Fu Wan, "Wan, where did you pick up this black butterfly shell? It looks alive.

It's a pity there's only one, and I don't think it'll yield any pearls. I'll give this little bit of meat to the kids to try later!"

Boss Fu showed regret on his face. Although he had fished out black clams in the past, he had never opened them.

The ship owner was a stingy person. He was reluctant to let them touch even the black lipped oysters or scallop shells.

As for whether there were any pearls in the pile of black lip shells, he was not sure.

Oh, to think that he has lived two lives and can actually see the black butterfly shell again, this is pretty good luck!

What's more, the black lipped oyster hasn't been opened yet, maybe there really are pearls inside!

Tsk tsk, Boss Fu became excited again when he thought about it.

The girl was lucky, so he asked her to open it!

Thinking of this, Boss Fu turned around and saw Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou picking up something.

What's more important than a black lipped oyster?

Boss Fu couldn't help but look at Fu Wan's hand in confusion, but this look made his hand tremble and he almost dropped the black butterfly shell in his hand.

May Mazu bless the black lipped clams! The basin is full of black lipped clams!

Even Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou kept putting black butterfly shells in!

Boss Fu's gaze moved down along Fu Wan's hand, and when he saw the dense scallops in the water, Boss Fu stood up quickly!

The water is also full of black lipped clams!

Mr. Fu was drunk. For a moment, his head was buzzing and there were only three big words in his mind.

hair! fiscal! Got it!

Where are the rare scallops?

Why are they all lying in this ditch as if they are free?

If it were so easy to find, then the half month of hard work they put in would be nothing!

Fu Wan was a little confused when she saw Boss Fu suddenly stand up.

"Dad, what are you doing? Come over here and help me pick up the scallops!"

Haven’t you seen that in the watery area ahead, there are already quite a few black clams following the waves!

"Oh oh oh, it's coming, it's coming!"

Boss Fu woke up as if from a dream, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.

Oh my, with so many black lipped oysters, even if only one black pearl is revealed, it would be very valuable!

"Hurry, hurry, come over here and pick up the scallops!"

"Jack, and that carrot Tom, come here quickly and stop playing in the mud!"

"Ah Ming and An Ning, come here quickly! We need to pick up these scallops quickly, or they'll all run away!"

Boss Fu was so excited that he turned around and started talking to everyone.

Fu Wan smiled and shook her head, carefully examining the black butterfly shell in her hand.

The black-lipped oyster is a pearl oyster, also known as the black-lipped pearl clam. The shell length of an adult black-lipped oyster can reach about twelve or thirteen centimeters, and its shape is either nearly square or irregularly round.

The shell has a thick texture, mostly black or dark brown, with grayish-white radiating bands on the surface.

This type of scallop generally lives in shallow waters, likes to use its byssus to swim on rocks or coral reefs, and follows the tide.

The edible value of black lipped oysters is not high. What is truly valuable is the black pearls produced in black lipped oysters.

This is the Tahitian black pearl that is sought after by people in later generations.

Of course, the reason why it is called Tahitian black pearl is because 90% of black pearls are produced in Tahiti.

There was no such name at that time, let alone Tahitian black pearls. As long as it was a pearl and of good quality and color, it could be sold for a lot of money.

Fu Ming looked at the black scallops in the bucket and was a little confused.

"Dad, is this delicious?"

Look at them all over the buckets and basins, they look so gray, what if they don’t taste good?

If you ask him, it would be better for him to continue catching mantis shrimps!

Boss Fu glared at him and said, "Eat, eat, eat, all you know is eat!

This is not for you to eat!"

"Why bring it back if it's not food?"

Fu Ming continued to be stubborn and doubtful, not afraid of Boss Fu's gaze at all.

"It's for opening pearls, brother. Do you want to try your luck with me later?"

Fu Wan interrupted with a smile, and when Fu Ming heard it, he immediately suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.

"Is it true? There are pearls in here?"

“Yes, these are black lipped oysters, which should be able to produce black pearls.

But it also depends on luck.”

Wild black lipped oysters are already rare, and this is the first time Fu Wan has encountered one, so there is no guarantee that pearls will be produced.

However, when Fu Ming heard what she said, only the first sentence remained.

Niangla, there are pearls!

These scallops can produce pearls!

Fu Ming was instantly excited and immediately took out a knife to cut the scallop in his hand into two.

He fumbled with the scallop meat for a long time, and the excitement on his face soon turned into frustration.

I really overestimated my luck!

No, open another one!

Fu Wan was not discouraged when she saw Fu Ming opening several black oysters in succession but found no pearls.

It is rare for scallops to produce pearls, and opening a blind box also involves a bit of luck. If you don’t win one, try the next one.

"Don't worry, we'll gather all the black lipped scallops when we get back. I doubt we'll find a pearl among all these scallops!"

Fu Wan comforted Fu Ming, and Qin An Ning and Bai Qianzhou nodded repeatedly.

They have never seen a pearl come out of a shell!

Jack and the other two were even more confused. They didn't understand Fu Ming's operation and thought that Boss Fu asked them to come and pick up black lipped scallops because these scallops were delicious!

The three foodies picked up the scallops quickly, and with the help of Fu Wan and others, in less than forty minutes, all the scallops that could be picked up in the trench were packed up.

At this time, there was a slight wind, the clouds in the sky increased, and the sun was completely blocked.

Fu Wan raised her hand and looked at the time. It was almost eleven o'clock.

She thought about it and discussed it with Ye Xiaocui and others.

"Mom, go build a stove in the shade. I'll go down and catch two fish. We'll eat on the island for lunch today!"
