Zhang Liucheng looked at a pearl as big as a grape in his hand and looked happy.
"This pearl is so beautiful!"
Put away the grape-sized pearls and walk to the depths of the sea.
Not long after, a clump of coral appeared in front of me, shaped like colorful flowers and the twisting antlers of a sika deer.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Liucheng happily walked to the coral, grabbed the coral and pulled it up hard. The harder he tried, the more the coral sank.
Zhang Liucheng was so angry that he pulled it up with all his strength, and the coral was uprooted.
Zhang Liucheng tied the coral to his body with his robe.
He continued to search for pearls on the seabed, and suddenly his eyes lit up. Not far ahead, white light flashed continuously.
The clam's mouth is open, and in each clam's mouth is a pearl the size of a grape, crystal clear and constantly emitting dazzling white light.
Zhang Liucheng walked forward slowly. Just as he was about to pick up the pearls, the clam's mouth immediately closed.
"You little things, why are you not good at all! Why don't you spit out the pearls? Do you have to force me to do it?"
After saying that, Zhang Liucheng condensed his spiritual energy into his fist, punched forward, and the wind of his fist turned into a tornado! Sweeping towards the clam shell, wherever the fist wind passed, the clam shell was shattered and pearls were scattered on the mud.
Zhang Liucheng untied the robe tied with corals and placed it on the ground. He put the pearls he picked up on the robe. After picking up the pearls in front of him, he counted them and found that there were more than 200 pearls.
He had been at the bottom of the sea for half an hour. He was afraid that his father would be worried because he was still young after all.
Wrap the pearl in a robe and hold the coral.
He walked to where the rope was tied, tied the rope around his body, and pulled the rope hard a few times.
Father Zhang received the signal and pulled the rope to the shore.
Soon, Zhang Liucheng was pulled to the shore by Zhang's father and others.
Zhang's father asked anxiously when he saw Zhang Liucheng's body was wet.
"Little Sanzi, you've been underwater for so long, are you okay?"
"Father, I'm fine!" Zhang Liucheng smiled and said slowly.
The eldest uncle saw Zhang Liucheng holding a bunch of crystal clear corals in his hand, and he saw that they were the best corals.
Zhang Liucheng threw his robe to the shore, and all the pearls as big as grapes leaked out.
When Zhang's father and others saw this scene, they were stunned and froze on the spot.
"So many pearls! Pearls as big as grapes. The tailor shop can be saved!"
"These pearls are worth at least five thousand taels of silver. It's not a problem to buy the entire tailor shop! We don't have to worry about rent anymore. Let's go back quickly. We pawned these pearls and corals and exchanged them for silver. We will see if we can buy the tailor shop tomorrow. Shop and buy it!”
With a look of joy on his face, the uncle took off his robe and handed it to Zhang Liucheng.
"My dear, it's cold. Don't freeze. Please wear my robe first!!"
Zhang Liucheng took his uncle's robe and put it on.
"Thank you, uncle!"
Father Zhang rewrapped the pearls on the ground in Zhang Liucheng's robe, took the coral, and led a few people to the carriage. Several people got on the carriage. Father Zhang drove the carriage and hurried to the city. .
"If I have the chance, I must come here to practice!" Zhang Liucheng thought to himself.
…
After Zhang's father drove the carriage into the city, under the command of his uncle, the carriage stopped at the door of Dafu's pawnshop.
Father Zhang and others got off the carriage, picked up pearls and corals, and walked into the pawn shop.
The uncle walked to the pawn shop counter, knocked on the counter, and shouted.
"Boss, I want to pawn something!"
The pawnshop owner looked up at his uncle and asked.
"It turns out to be Boss Zhang! What do you want to pawn?"
After hearing what the pawnshop owner said, the uncle placed the coral and the pearls wrapped in his robe on the counter.
The pawn shop owner glanced at the coral and touched its texture with a look of surprise on his face.
"This is the coral of the East China Sea. Did you go to the East China Sea? You are the first group of people who can come back safely after going to the sea."
Then he opened the robe that wrapped the pearls. The moment the robe was opened, white light flashed. The robe was filled with pearls as big as grapes. There were 241 pearls in total.
"It's been a long time since I've seen such a big pearl. Please wait a moment, Boss Zhang! I'm going to get the banknote."
The pawnshop owner turned around and left the counter.
After a while, the pawnshop owner walked to the counter, looked at his uncle, and said with a smile.
"Boss Zhang, I pawned you to death and gave you a high price of thirty-seven thousand taels of silver. Do you think this price is appropriate?"
The uncle took the banknote, nodded and said, "Boss Rich, you're welcome! I still believe in your reputation for doing business!"
The rich boss packed the pearls in wooden boxes.
"Boss Zhang, if you have pearls in the future, bring them over and I will recycle them at a high price. I guarantee you will be satisfied!"
"Boss Rich, don't worry! If you have pearls, I will definitely come to you!"
The eldest uncle took Father Zhang and others out of the pawn shop, sat on the carriage, and took out the banknotes.
"Fourth brother, I'll give you these 30,000 taels of silver notes. I'll lend you the rest."
Zhang's father had never seen so many banknotes. How could he dare to accept them? He hurriedly waved his hand.
"I can't accept it, the banknote is too much!"
"Fourth brother, just accept it! This is what you deserve. If the third son had not ventured into the sea, we might have come back long ago! Fortunately, the third son came back safe and sound! What if something happened! How could you put your uncles in such a difficult position? !" The third uncle sighed.
After hearing what the third uncle said, Zhang's father took the banknote and gave 5,000 taels of silver banknotes to the third uncle and the fifth uncle each.
"We brothers went to the East China Sea to look for pearls together. Everyone has a share of these silver notes. The younger brother will stay with the elder brother for a while longer, so he will give the elder brother some more money."
"Since the fourth brother said so, brothers, don't delay it!" The eldest uncle nodded when he heard what Father Zhang said.
Father Zhang collected the banknotes, drove the carriage to the tailor shop.
