It can be seen that the princess is in a good mood.

Perhaps for her, her husband's rebellion finally helped her get rid of this man she had despised for many years. After the marriage, they never had a son or a half daughter. They even never really had a room with him from beginning to end.

For many years, the two have been just nominal couples.

Now, he was finally completely thrown away.

This is a kind of liberation, a kind of freedom.

"Can the pearls be raised?"

While talking about pearl milk tea, the princess asked Li Xiao in surprise.

"Of course, it can be raised. Clams have beads, so raising clams means raising pearls. As long as you can master enough experience and technology, you can harvest pearls by raising clams." Li Xiao said. The artificially cultivated pearls in later generations are ordinary, no more ordinary, and pearls raised in life are also extremely cheap.

Large and round artificial pearls are not worth much money to make a large string of pearl necklaces.

But in this era, pearls were still extremely precious, and pearls had to be picked. Pearls were picked in the river and sea to catch old clams, and they could only pick pearls by taking chances.

The technology is difficult, and the pearling is difficult, especially the output is extremely low.

The pearls produced in Hepu Bay in Hepu County, Lingnan are famous all over the world and extremely precious. They have been tributes throughout the ages, but it is even more difficult to pick pearls in the sea, and even risk their lives. Tens of thousands of pearl collectors can’t pick many pearls a year.

In Liaodong and other places, high-quality pearls are also abundant.

But no matter what, pearls are really treasures in this era.

Tamase has never heard of it, and can also breed pearls manually.

"It's that simple?"

"It's really that simple. As long as you have the right water quality, then select the clams and then breed them."

The relationship between raising pearls lies in raising clams, and how does the clam grow pearls?

The clams that can grow pearls are also called pearl shells. This pearl shell can secrete pearls to form pearls. Therefore, as long as the pearl shell is implanted in the body of the pearl shell at the appropriate time, the pearls can be cultivated after a certain period of breeding.

In fact, pearl farming began in ancient China.

There is a record in a miscellaneous note in this article by people in the Song Dynasty. There is a method of raising pearls. Take a slightly larger clam, soak it in clear water, wait for it to open its mouth, throw it into it quickly, and exchange it for clear water frequently, and it will become a pearl in autumn. Even in the Ming Dynasty, ancient Chinese people invented the cultivation method of special pearls and successfully cultivated the world-famous Buddha statue pearls.

After all, it is that the clams and clams themselves undergo lesions and cannot expel invading external foreign objects, such as sand, from the body. Due to its own physiological functions, pearls will be secreted to wrap the lesion or foreign objects. After a certain period of time, crystals can be formed. This is a natural pearl.

Artificial pearls are implanted into the body of clams, such as small sand particles, based on this physiological function, so that they can grow into pearls after a period of time.

"It feels impossible, I have never heard of it?" Tamase said.

Cultivating pearls artificially is not like growing vegetables and raising fish, but I have never heard of raising pearls.

"What's impossible? It's actually very simple. It can be roughly divided into four steps. The first step is to improve the mother's shell first. You must choose a healthy clam with a complete shell, no damage, and full soft body in the shell as the mother's crabbed."

Speaking of these, it is very simple. In fact, it is definitely not easy to do, but the ancients did not discover these methods, so when Li Xiao said this, Yuse was shocked.

"Then what?"

"Then put the small sand into the body of the mother-of-pearl clam, and then put it back into the water to rest."

"Put back into the water? Wouldn't that run away?"

"Hahaha, if you are afraid of running away, you can also get a net cage, put the female clam in the net cage, and then hang it in the water with a rope for breeding."

This is cage farming. In the future, this method is used more. This method is more reliable and has a higher cost. In fact, it may not necessarily be necessary. You can put it directly in the river or dig a large pond to raise it. Even if it will run away a little, it is impossible to run away.

Tamase couldn't imagine that Li Xiao had a lot of things in his mind. He thought he was just a joke, but he didn't expect that he really had one, and it sounded quite decent.

"How long will it take to become a pearl?"

"In two to three years, it usually takes two years to form pearls. You can pick up pearls. But if you want pearls to be good, it is best to pick them up in four or five years."

Wanniang listened a little anxiously.

If you really have this ability, why would your husband tell the princess? If the Li family keeps it, raises it by itself, and really raises pearls, it would be a treasure pot that will be rich for generations to come.

The princess picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Why did Saburo reveal this to me the secret method?"

"Actually, it's nothing. It's easy to say, but it's not easy to raise."

There is another most important point that Li Xiao didn't say clearly. Li Xiao didn't even dare to keep the new method of decolorization of frosting sugar. How dare he keep the pearl breeding method?

Without some identity and strength, this pearl breeding method is a hot potato unless he keeps this secret forever.

Even if he keeps it secretly, this thing can never be kept secret.

Once the secret is leaked, it is the source of disaster.

Things are good things, but they are useless in their hands and dare not use them. It’s okay to talk to the princess, but she can’t really raise them after she tells them.

The best result is naturally the princess’s heartbeat and then cooperates with Li Xiao.

Li Xiao has skills and the princess has strength. The two of them work together to raise pearls to make money, and they are not afraid of others coveting them.

"It's too troublesome to raise clams in a box. Digging a pond is simple and the cost is low. If you really want to raise it, you have to dig a pond to raise it. However, if you have to raise it, you have to raise clam seedlings first. This is not easy." The princess said smartly.

"Of course things won't be simple, but compared to the profit, this is definitely a deal that can make money without losing money. Digging ponds, raising clams, choosing clams, and raising clams are actually quite simple." Li Xiao described the bright prospects of this deal to the princess.

"How is it, does the princess intend to try it?"

"I don't have this ability."

"We can work together. The princess pays the capital and I pays the technology."

Tamase understands Li Xiao’s idea. Such a way to gather money and treasures, but it will be coveted by others, so someone must help him support him.

"Okay, I'm just so idle now. So I'll raise river clams next year to see if they can really produce pearls. Come and be my head and teach them how to raise them. Then the profit will be made, 73."

"Yes, princess seven, I three." Li Xiao said.

"No, you are seven, I am three." Yuse shook her head. The key is that she can really raise pearls. With the technology, anyone can raise them, and the cost is nothing. It's just digging some ponds and raising clams, just a little people and money.

Li Xiao also shook his head.

"You are seven and I are three."

After arguing for a while, the princess smiled.

"Let's do this, don't worry, just half of it. If you really want to raise pearls, we will be half of it. I'll make a few pearl necklaces, and you will make your pearl milk tea."
