Chapter 241 Space shock, unlocking new abilities
As they were talking, the carriage stopped at the clam farm.
As soon as I got off the carriage, a gust of hot and humid air hit me in the face.
"Miss." The manager of the clam farm came forward with a smile on his face. He looked behind her and found that the young master had not come. He asked in confusion: "Miss, where is the young master?"
Li Xia Xia frowned: "Why? If your young master doesn't come, it won't work if I come? Can't do business?"
Upon hearing this, the steward waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, that's not what I meant. It's just that the young master gave instructions yesterday, saying that a distinguished guest will come to take clams today, and I have already prepared 10,000 Dongzhu clams."
"Lead the way." Li Xia Xia was too lazy to say more to him. The servants on this farm were all her father and Li Quan's men. It seemed that if she wanted to control this place in the future, she would have to replace them all with her own people.
Shang Ruoyi followed her to the clam farm, where she saw hundreds of clam ponds, each with tens of thousands of eastern pearl clams.
No wonder the Li family’s business is so big. I wonder how much silver this Dongzhu clam alone would be sold for.
"Miss, look, this small pond contains the pearl clams that will be given to our distinguished guests."
Shang Ruoyi looked in the direction of his finger and saw several workers screening pearl clams in a small pond.
The steward smiled flatteringly: "Do you think it's satisfactory?"
Li Xia Xia took a look and blinked, somewhat unsure.
Although the Li family has been raising Eastern pearl clams for many years, she has no knowledge of these clams. Her father usually gives her some Eastern pearls to play with, and she has never seen Eastern pearl clams many times, and has only been to this clam farm twice.
When the steward saw her like this, he sneered in his heart, thinking that what the eldest young master said was indeed right, the eldest young lady really knew nothing.
Originally they did prepare some better quality Eastern Pearl Mussels, but the eldest young master just sent someone to bring them a message, asking them to replace all the original Eastern Pearl Mussels with the worst quality ones. They had just screened out a batch of dying Eastern Pearl Mussels this morning, so he ordered people to replace the shells quickly.
Li Xia Xia coughed a few times and said to Shang Ruoyi, "Sister Shang, are you satisfied?"
Shang Ruoyi looked at Manager Lin and said with a smile, "Manager Lin, how many years have you worked in this clam farm?"
"To be honest, I have been working here for eighteen years."
Shang Ruoyi nodded: "It seems that Manager Lin's vision and understanding are too poor."
When Manager Lin heard this, he was shocked. Could it be that she had seen through his tricks?
How can it be?
How could she, a little girl, know so much?
"Why do you say that, my dear guest?"
"Your clam shells are really pitifully small, and many of them are dead, or half dead. Why should I buy such Dongzhu clams?" Shang Ruoyi sneered, "Are you selling me 30,000 taels of garbage from the clam farm? You Li family are really good at calculating, and the abacus beads are jumping on my face."
When Manager Lin heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat. She, she actually knew it.
"How, how is this possible?" He smiled awkwardly and said, "I'll go and see if the servants have installed it wrong." Without waiting for Shang Ruoyi to speak, he trotted away.
Li Xia Xia's face flushed when she saw this. She never expected that these servants would pretend to obey her but actually go against her will.
"How dare he fool me?" Li Xia Xia said to Shang Ruoyi, "Sister Shang, I really didn't know it would be like this."
"If you want to completely control the Li family, you must know everything about the Dongzhu mussel." Shang Ruoyi looked at her and said in a deep voice: "Otherwise, even if you overthrow your half-brother, you will not be able to protect the Li family's assets."
Hearing this, Li Xia Xia looked at Shang Ruoyi with even more admiration, and made up her mind: "Sister Shang, if you are willing to help me, I am willing to give you 30% of the Li family's assets."
Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "I don't want your Li family's property, I just want you to give me some Dongzhu clams."
As he was talking, Manager Lin ran back and wiped the sweat off his head. "My dear guest, you are truly an expert. If you hadn't discovered it in time, I would have really gotten into big trouble today. Those servants took the wrong pearl oysters and put them in the wrong place."
Li Xia Xia's eyes were as sharp as a knife, and she said angrily: "Why don't you do it again? Ten thousand clams, I'm afraid it will take several hours to count. You can't even do such a small thing. I think you should resign from your position as manager and go home to retire!"
Manager Lin was unhappy in his heart, but he didn't dare show it on his face. He nodded and bowed in agreement.
Shang Ruoyi walked around the clam farm for a few times. Suddenly, when she passed a clam pond, the space, which had never made any noise before, suddenly shook.
She stopped suddenly.
Was it just her illusion?
She looked at the pool intently, and suddenly, she found that she could see everything at the bottom of the pool clearly, and wherever her eyes went, she could see everything in the pearl oysters clearly.
She blinked, thinking she was hallucinating, and when she focused again, she discovered that many of the pearl clams in the pond contained pearls, some of which were extremely large.
"Sister Shang, what are you looking at?" Li Xia Xia looked at the slightly turbid pool water and said, "I can't see this clearly!"
"Can't you see the bottom of the pool?"
Li Xia Xia shook her head: "The water in this pond is so turbid, the pearl clams in it are probably almost all dead!"
Shang Ruoyi raised her eyebrows slightly. Could this be some special ability?
Manager Lin walked up to her and saw her looking at the pearl clams in the pond. He smiled and said, "My dear guest, the clams in this pond are not very good. I just picked out a lot of them from other ponds for you. They are all top-notch. You can definitely keep them alive if you buy them back."
Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "If I want the one in this pool, is that ok?"
"Of course!" Manager Lin said quickly, "Then I'll have my servants pick some for you. But please don't blame me if I can't feed them when I get back."
He waved his hand, and several workers came over with very long net bags.
Shang Ruoyi thought of the several huge oriental pearls she had just seen, and stepped forward quickly: "I just saw that salvaging is very interesting, I also want to try, I wonder if it is possible?"
"Of course you can, but salvaging requires a lot of arm strength, even for men it's very strenuous, so you'd better not try it."
"It's okay. I'll give it a try." She took the net bag and focused her attention on her eyes. The next moment, everything at the bottom of the pond appeared in front of her. She accurately fished out the pearl oysters containing huge pearls.
When Manager Lin saw that what she had fished up were all black clam shells, a look of disdain flashed in his eyes.
He thought he had met some master, but now it seems that he is just a layman who knows nothing.
He has been raising pearl clams for so many years and has opened several relatively round pearls, all of which were in green clam shells. This black one usually contains nothing.
