C583 Mussel and Pearl



C583 Mussel and Pearl

Koo Beichen and Zhang Yutine sat back on the blanket and looked up at the sky and sea. The shock they felt just now had planted a unique seed in their hearts.    

    

"Mommy! Daddy! There are shells! " Qiqi suddenly let out a scream, picked up an ivory white shell and gave it to Koo Beichen. The patterns on the shell's surface were very beautiful, and the criss-crossing patterns reflected the traces the sea water had left on its body.    

    

Koo Beichen patted Qiqi's small head and praised, "So nice!" The seashells on the beach were very common, but such exquisite shells were rarely seen. It had to be said that Qiqi's eyesight and luck were both very good.    

    

Qiqi hooked her hand at Koo Beichen, indicating for him to lower his body. Koo Beichen understood and bent down to listen to what Qiqi was going to say to him.    

    

"Dad, I want to pick up a few more shells, then string them into a necklace and bracelet to give to mom." Qiqi whispered into Koo Beichen's ear.    

    

Koo Beichen didn't expect Qiqi's small cotton-padded jacket to be so considerate. Even he felt that it was a bit overkill. However, since she wanted to do it, he would support her wholeheartedly. Zhang Yutine would definitely be very touched when she saw Qiqi's little gift.    

    

"Alright, then we'll pick it up with you!" As Koo Beichen said this, he bent down and began to work hard on the beach. The shell his daughter had found for the first time was already so beautiful, he couldn't just randomly pick a few to deal with her. Seeing this, Zhang Yutine also joined the shell picking army.    

    

Koo Beichen did not choose to use the Power of Five Elements, otherwise he would be able to collect a pile of shells in a short period of time. However, by doing so, he had lost the joy of having a child around him. Once the holidays were over, he would be busy again, and this time of warmth and happiness would be very short. Since he had the opportunity, he naturally had to cherish it.    

    

Koo Beichen walked towards the shore. This was the place where most of the creatures were sent to. There were also more creatures like shells.    

    

When he came to the beach, he couldn't seem to say that he had been to the seaside without collecting some shells for his memorial service. So, they could see a few figures on the coastline. They were here to pick up the shells, and Koo Beichen was honored to join their army.    

    

He lowered his head to brush away the silt, and picked up the beautifully patterned shells within the silt. He had to admit that the seashells were a gift from the sea. Such beautiful patterns were even more enchanting when washed away by the waves.    

    

Suddenly, Koo Beichen found something different in the sand. Its body was much bigger than the shell. It was around the size of a grown man's palm. There weren't any fine lines on its exterior, making it look gray. Koo Beichen slightly raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect to be able to dig out a clam here. This was also a new matter.    

    

This wild mussel is different from the domestic mussel, so it is more valuable. If a wild clam could produce pearls, then the value would be even more so. However, the possibility of pearls appearing in the Oyster was not high, so Koo Beichen didn't have much hope. Even if there were no pearls, he could still eat the meat inside.    

    

Koo Beichen held the Oyster in his hand and continued to look for the shell that Qiqi had requested. He didn't know if it was luck or bad, but Koo Beichen turned over the dirt again. With this flip, he actually found another Oyster. Koo Beichen's expression was a little strange. Could it be that he was fated to be a Oyster and had come looking for him? With a few more, he felt that he could start a barbecue online.    

    

Koo Beichen took the Oyster and continued to look through it. This time, no matter if it was the Oyster or the shell, he picked them up first. If it's a Oyster, then leave it for later to eat. If it's a shell, then give it to Qiqi.    

    

Soon, he gathered a pile of shells and returned to the blanket. He then piled the shells on the ground. There were already many shells on the ground, all the result of the hard work of Qiqi and Zhang Yutine.    

    

When Koo Beichen was almost done resting, Qiqi and Zhang Yutine also came back with huge handfuls of shells in their hands. From the looks of it, he probably would not rest until he had hollowed out the sea.    

    

"Dad, what is this?" Qiqi was soon able to pick out some unusual varieties from a large pile of shells. The size of the Oyster did not fit in with Baker's stack. One look was enough to tell that it could not be strung together.    

    

"This is called a clam. It is a kind of food. But the magic thing is, some clams can give out beautiful pearls. " Koo Beichen explained patiently.    

    

"What?" Food? Can you even produce pearls? "Dad, is this how pearls came to be?" She opened her eyes wide, as if she couldn't believe what Koo Beichen had just said. Being able to eat it and turn it into a pearl, isn't this kind of thing too miraculous!    

    

Koo Beichen nodded. He did not deny that the probability of these Oyster giving out pearls was not high, but it was more than enough for Qiqi to eat.    

    

Qiqi excitedly hugged the Oyster and suddenly said to Koo Beichen: "Dad, I want to pick this up too!" After saying that, she ran to the beach without looking back, continuously searching for something on the ground. There weren't many things that could be eaten well, so she definitely had to collect more.    

    

After another half an hour, Qiqi returned with a few Oyster in her arms. One of the Oyster was the size of her head. If the Oyster wasn't so magical as Koo Beichen said, she would have put down this heavy Oyster a long time ago.    

    

Koo Beichen looked at the Oyster she picked up and could not help but shake his head. If it was that easy to get out of the clams, the people who spent their days collecting shells on the shore would have already gotten rich. Therefore, the Oyster was at most open for entertainment.    

    

"Let's go find a place to open the clams!" Opening clams and taking pearls could also be considered a work of art. Normal people might not even know how to do it. There were many places selling Oyster s on the coast. If someone opened a shop, they could open a clam for free.    

    

"Alright!" Qiqi hugged the shell in her hand as she walked towards a distant auction point. Zhang Yutine, on the other hand, did not follow them. She had changed her clothes in advance. This did not look good on her at all.    

    

Soon, Koo Beichen and Qiqi arrived there. A peddler saw him and greeted him.    

    

"Yo, Mister and Miss, what do you need?" The peddler was also intelligent, he could guess what they were here for from the bag in their hands.    

    

When the person heard this, he revealed an expression as if it was true. He had been here for two years, and most of the time he was able to determine what services these guests needed.    

    

"Sure, please wait a moment!" The clam business was not considered a big deal. There was a lot of gambling on it. This small shop also had many Oyster, and they were all bought for passersby to open. It was worth about fifteen yuan once, but there were few that actually opened their doors.
