Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord

"I have a bad heart, but I can't play such exciting things."

"It's all about luck. If you win, you will make a lot of money."

"..."

There was a lot of discussion at the scene, but their eyes glanced at the big wooden barrel from time to time. Many people were already moved, and they all wanted to try their luck.

"Oh, the wooden barrels over there are even more expensive. A freshwater clam costs 50 silver coins, and the chances of producing pearls are even greater." Liu Feng pointed to the three large wooden barrels in the center of the hall.

"This..." Everyone present was frightened, isn't this too exciting? A freshwater clam actually costs fifty silver coins.

"If you can open a big pearl, you will really make a lot of money, everyone, why don't you try it?" Liu Feng smiled lightly.

He is not in a hurry, anyway, he has made a steady profit without losing money, no, it is pure profit, no matter whether someone buys freshwater mussels or no one buys them, he opened most of the freshwater mussels with pearls, although ten freshwater mussels can Identify three or four pearls.

"My lord, I want to buy a freshwater clam worth ten silver coins." Solo took the lead and said, this kind of exciting thing, how can you not experience it.

Chapter 0523 knife heaven and hell.

"Choose it yourself." Liu Feng said calmly with a calm face, "Just hand over the coins before opening."

"Yes." Solo nodded, and hastily came to the big wooden barrel containing ten silver coins, reached out his hand to scoop it up in the wooden barrel, and took a few freshwater mussels to study.

As a result, except for the size of the head, the other freshwater mussels were all about the same in his eyes, so he finally chose a larger freshwater mussel.

"Here are ten silver coins." Solo immediately handed over the silver coins after choosing them.

"There are tables and knives over there. You can go over there to open freshwater mussels, or you can open them after you go home." Liu Feng reached out to take the silver coins and handed them to Hu'er Niang. An Li is in charge of the shop in Pearl Pavilion.

"Okay." With a serious face, Solo walked towards the table. Tori and the businessmen all surrounded him, staring at the freshwater mussel in Solo's hand.

"Master, does that have pearls?" An Li whispered, her brown eyes scanning the surroundings.

"Who knows?" Liu Feng raised his eyebrows. The number of freshwater mussels in each big wooden barrel is different. Maybe some big barrels don't even have a single freshwater mussel with pearls. On the contrary, there may be freshwater mussels with many pearls. Everything can only depend on luck.

"Master, one person drowned while fishing for freshwater mussels yesterday." An Li's voice was a little low. She looked at the freshwater mussels in the wooden barrel. These were fished out by more than a dozen people yesterday.

"Three times the pension will be given to his family." Liu Feng narrowed his black eyes and said seriously, "Those who fish for freshwater mussels must protect them well."

Fishing for freshwater mussels is a dangerous job. If you are not careful, you will be drowned in the water. Fortunately, the freshwater mussels in the water are near the Youshui River, and the current is not very strong. As for going to the middle of the Youshui River, don’t worry about it. How many. The salary for fishing freshwater mussels is relatively high, and there are still some people who are willing to take the risk of fishing for freshwater mussels.

Originally, the discovery of freshwater mussels was an accident, that is, when the pontoon bridge was being built, freshwater mussels were accidentally found in the mud.

"Yes." An Li replied seriously.

"Mina, I'll help you get someone to find a place where the river level is gentler." Liu Feng turned his head and told the cat-eared lady.

"Okay." Mina nodded.

Liu Feng is planning to raise pearl mussels artificially, and the demand for pearls will only increase in the future. However, artificially cultured pearl oysters can satisfy the market more, and the cultured pearls are larger, and the number and production of pearls can be controlled.

The most important thing is that if it is processed into jewelry in the future, the price can be doubled again, and pearls will be the gold-absorbing weapon of Xiyang City. As for gambling on mussels today, it is just a small game, a game to earn a little money .

"Wow, yes, the pearls have been opened, and there are five pearls." Tori yelled, more excited than Solo.

"It's so beautiful." Solo held the pearl with a smile on his face. He didn't expect that the freshwater mussel he chose actually had pearls.

"My lord, I also want to buy a freshwater mussel worth ten silver coins." Tori immediately pushed aside the crowd, ran to Liu Feng, stuffed the ten silver coins over, and went to pick freshwater mussels.

"My lord, I want to buy a freshwater clam for one silver coin."

"I want to buy two freshwater mussels worth five hundred copper coins."

"..."

The freshwater mussels chosen by Solo produced pearls, which immediately attracted more than half of the people to buy freshwater mussels. The temptation was too great.

"No, huh? Why not? Damn, damn..."

"I don't have mine either. My luck isn't that bad, is it?"

"Hahahaha... I opened it, opened it, three pearls, hahaha..."

"..."

Not everyone's luck is so good, like Solo who was the first to pick a freshwater mussel with pearls, this luck is beyond the mark.

Liu Feng quietly looked at the annoyed and happy people, a sneer flashed in his black eyes, one knife to heaven, one knife to hell, these were the people he was talking about.

"Master, are they going to be okay?" An Lihu's ears perked up, and she frowned at those decadent people. She was afraid that those people would do something extreme.

"It's nothing, it's just a normal phenomenon." Liu Feng said slowly, he thought that the gambling stones on the other side of the earth were similar to today's appearance, and there was no one to blame for their lack of greed.

"Master, what should we do with those little pearls?" An Li asked, the pearls that are opened can be big or small, and if they are too small, no one will buy them unless they are made into jewelry.

"Grind those small pearls into powder, which can be used as medicine." Liu Feng smiled lightly.

"Ah? Pearls can also be used as medicine?" An Li was shocked. Isn't a pearl just a jewelry? How did it have anything to do with medicine?

"Pearls are crushed into powder, which is very useful. It has the effects of calming the nerves and calming shock, clearing away heat and detoxification, promoting muscle growth and reducing sores, moisturizing skin and removing freckles."

Liu Feng recalled the information he found last night in his mind, and then read, "It can also be used for restlessness, insomnia, dreaminess, forgetfulness, restlessness, epilepsy, convulsions, sores and ulcers, sores on the tongue, swollen gums, and sore throat. Ulcers, skin blemishes, etc."

Hu'er Niang and Mao'er Niang listened to Liu Feng's chanting in a daze, but they didn't understand most of them, and they seemed to feel very serious.

"In short, it has a cosmetic effect." Liu Feng rolled his eyes and said.

"I understand." En Li's brown eyes widened, she knew what to do with these words.

"Let's go, go back and get ready. The pontoon bridge test will be held tomorrow." Liu Feng walked outside.

"Yes." Mina immediately followed, leaving Anli to take care of it temporarily.

Princess Lucy and Jones, who were hiding in the crowd, were also very interested in the pearl. It can be said that few women could resist the temptation of the pearl.

"I'll buy two and open them again when I go back." Jones got up and walked to the big wooden barrel with ten silver coins, picked up two freshwater clams, gave the coins, and left with Princess Lucy.

Chapter 0524 ten years of green salt.

"Akka, are you going to build a house?"

"No, the city lord needs someone to dig ditches. I'm going to apply for this job. I heard that the monthly salary is 80 copper coins."

"Why don't you go to open up wasteland? Maybe you can get a field?"

"No, the assigned fields will also be very remote. It's better to help the city lord to work more safely."
