The encircled sea was only a meter deep and there were specialized rescuers. However, the seawater was bone-chilling at this moment, so it was really not easy to catch sea clams.

The men of the tribe who lived by the sea were not afraid at all. They brought their partners to sign up.

When Gou Houxing heard that they were holding this event, he wanted to bring Zhao Lanzhi along.

If she was willing to sign up with him, she recognized him as her partner.

Even if they were not husband and wife yet, Gou Houxing was still very happy.

He mulled it over for a long time and probed carefully. “I’m very good at swimming. Why don’t we participate too?” He emphasized, “It’s a waste not to take the free pearls!”

Zhao Lanzhi was stunned and said hesitantly, “The weather is very cold. It’s easy to catch a cold.”

She did not refuse directly. Instead, she was worried that he would catch a cold.

Gou Houxing immediately raised his arm and showed Zhao Lanzhi his strong muscles. “1 definitely won’t get sick! 1 can definitely fish out a lot of pearls for you!”

He looked eager to get into the water, like a big dog wagging its tail.

Zhao Lanzhi smiled shyly. “Alright then.”

After they registered, someone explained to Gou Houxing what to take note of when entering the water.

There was still a while before the event officially began. While waiting, everyone could view the pearl jewelry.

The pearl clams that Ah Duo had placed were pearl clams that had been farmed for less than a year. The pearls they produced would not exceed the size of a pinky finger. The pearls on the display table at the side were pure wild pearls. They had been made into beautiful jewelry with various gems, gold, and silver. Each of them was exquisite.

Zhao Lanzhi’s gaze landed on a display shelf and she could not help but reveal a happy expression.

Looking at the price, good lord, a pearl phoenix hairpin cost 200 taels.

Even if it was pure gold, it shouldn’t cost so much money.

Seeing that she liked it, Gou Houxing immediately said to the servant beside him, “Wrap it for this lady.”

Zhao Lanzhi immediately shook her head. “General Gou, this is too expensive.” It was only the first day. How could she accept such an expensive gift?

Gou Houxing chuckled. “No matter how precious it is, it’s not as precious as you.”

If she didn’t know that he was a simple-minded person, she would have thought that he was an expert at coaxing women.

Zhao Lanzhi blushed and was about to refuse when she heard the servant say, “Sir, you have good eyesight, but the jewelry we’re displaying are all unique and not for sale.”

Gou Houxing was stunned. “If you’re not selling it, why are you displaying it?!”

His gaze was solemn, and he looked like he was about to fight someone.

The servant hurriedly explained, “These are all masterpieces. The boss borrowed them to make it convenient for customers to see the craftsmanship at close range. If you like the style, you can customize it.”

Gou Houxing reacted. “Then ask him to come out now. We want to customize it.”

The servant smiled and said, “Before customizing, you still need to provide the raw materials for the jewelry you like.” Then, he introduced many pearls and gems to Gou Houxing.

Seeing that he was so enthusiastic about choosing, Zhao Lanzhi was afraid that he would buy whatever the servant said. He could even use up all his assets, so she hurriedly said, “General Gou, the event seems to be about to begin.”

Gou Houxing turned around and smiled. He patted his chest valiantly. “I’ll go now.”

The moment the incense was lit, Gou Houxing plunged into the water with the others.

After a while, Gou Houxing came out of the water and raised a sea clam. “Miss Zhao, I’ve caught it!”

He shouted and everyone looked at Zhao Lanzhi with smiles on their faces.

Even if the pearl clams were relatively small, if the quality was good, they would be worth a lot of money when made into necklaces.

Seeing that he had caught it, Zhao Lanzhi endured her embarrassment and shouted at him, “Then come up quickly. The water is cold!”

It was a little far away, and Gou Houxing was in the midst of excitement. He put the pearl clam in the net and went into the water again to look for it.

He opened his eyes in the clear water and found several in a row. He held his breath and picked them all up.

Zhao Lanzhi was a little anxious when she did not see him on the shore. She was afraid that something had happened to him.

Just as she was about to call for the lifeguard, Gou Houxing suddenly emerged from the water. Before he could wipe his face, he waved at her excitedly. “Miss Zhao, look!”

Zhao Lanzhi saw the gains in his net and felt relieved. She couldn’t help but laugh. “What a fool.”

The time for an incense stick to burn quickly passed.

Everyone had more or less gained something.

When they came out, it would be time for everyone to open the clams.

Sea clams were different from freshwater clams. They could usually only breed one or two pearls. Moreover, the mortality rate of sea clams was higher than that of freshwater clams. However, freshwater clams could breed more than 10 to 20 pearls at once. Therefore, modern seawater pearls were much more expensive than freshwater pearls.

Not only was the yield low, but the quality and luster were also much better.

Gou Houxing had never opened pearls before and found them quite interesting.

He used a small knife to pry open the clam’s body and quickly touched something hard and round.

He took it out and saw that it was indeed a milky-white pearl that emitted a five-colored light. It was about the size of his little fingernail and was quite round in shape. Its grade was quite good.

He washed it in the water and immediately raised his hand to show Zhao Lanzhi the product, attracting countless women’s envious gazes.

Gou Houxing had only opened one clam. He still had more than a dozen clams. He could at least string a necklace for Zhao Lanzhi.

Gou Houxing looked confused as to why she did not take it and even suspected that his hands had not been washed clean. Zhao Lanzhi took it with a red face before he said excitedly, “1 hope we can get something bigger than the pearls in the shop!”

Everyone knew that it would not be especially big, but when Gou Houxing said that, everyone could not help but look forward to it and crane their necks to look forward.

After a while, Zhao Lanzhi couldn’t carry anymore pearls.

The attendant quickly placed them in the glass jar for her.

The snow-white pearls shone with a lustrous luster in the jar, complementing Gou Houxing’s wet appearance.

Zhao Lanzhi was slightly touched. When Gou Houxing finished opening the last sea clam, he said to the servant unhappily, “Your pearls are all the same size!”

The servant smiled, but he muttered in his heart, “How can pearls cultivated at the same time have different size?”

If you really got a big one, what would they be selling?

Gou Houxing had a total of 25 pearls. If he wanted to make a necklace, he would have to purchase at least 25 pearls.

The servant recommended him to buy another 25. Zhao Lanzhi hurriedly said, “I like bracelets more.”

Gou Houxing recalled Chu Tianbao’s instructions. It was better to listen to the other party!

He immediately nodded at the attendant. “Then make it into a bracelet!”

A trace of disappointment flashed in the attendant’s eyes. He had thought that Gou Houxing would be a big buyer. He had tried his best to recommend to him, but in the end, he did not gain anything.

However, when he turned around, Gou Houxing quietly found him and asked him to wrap up all the pearls and gems she had taken a fancy to just now so that the craftsman could customize for him..
