    You can search "I am the hope of the whole village" in Baidu to find the latest chapter!

    However, He Fan, who was holding the already wilted mullet fish in his hand, kept the expression on his face and said calmly:

    "No need, my choice is this mullet fish. Besides, who said pearls can't come out of mullet fish? Let me see, the most shining pearl today is in the belly of this pearl fish."

    Listening to He Fan¡¯s words, the residents of Aldu Town all around had expressions of helplessness on their faces as they shook their heads.

    Since this yellow-skinned guy is so insistent, there is nothing they can do!

    Strictly speaking, although no one has ever done this, picking a fish is not against the rules!

    At this time, those who paid a thousand Australian dollars to participate in this pearl conference had almost selected their favorite pearl clams.

    The remaining part is the clam opening part that attracts the most attention!

    Every year at this stage, it is the most lively, uproarious and interesting time of the entire Pearl Conference, with crowds of people all around.

    Naturally, brute force cannot be used to open the clam. For example, it is absolutely not advisable to directly smash the clam body with a stone. What if the pearls contained inside are also smashed?

    So, you have to find someone special to open the clams!

    At this time, a fisherman with a white beard also walked out from the crowd.

    Judging from the attire and the marks on his face carved by the sea breeze, this is definitely an experienced old sailor!

    Lillade, the most experienced sailor in the entire town of Aldo, is also the person responsible for opening clams at the annual Pearl Conference.

    It is said that Lillade¡¯s ancestors were good at fishing for pearls and clams. They once found an extremely large and high-quality pearl, and finally presented it to the then Governor-General of Australia.

    It was even delivered by the governor to the king of the empire on which the sun never sets, and was mounted on the crown!

    This is something that the Lillade family has always been proud of, and to this day, the only thing that remains is the skill of opening clams!

    Lillade opened the pearl clam and easily opened the shell of the pearl clam without causing any damage to the clam body inside, let alone the pearls.

    Therefore, he presides over the clam opening every year.

    "Okay, come up one by one and bring up the pearl clams you selected. Let me see what good products can be produced this year. Don't let me down!"

    Lillade, holding a sharp knife in his hand, stood in the crowd and said.

    The handle of the knife is also inlaid with a large pearl. It looks very valuable, and it is quite old. It can definitely be called an antique.

    He Fan¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw it. It is said that it has been passed down from generation to generation in the Lillade family!

    Back then, the ancestors of the Lillade family discovered the pearl that was inlaid on the crown of the monarch of the Empire where the sun never sets, and he was also rewarded with a pearl.

    The ancestor of the Lillade family set this pearl on his sword, which was specially used to open clams, to show his glory.

    However, the inheritance significance of this kind of thing is greater than that it is an antique thing itself, and there is basically no possibility of selling it!

    The person who had selected the pearl clams in his hand took the pearl clams that had been carefully hidden one by one and asked the old man Lillade to help open the clams!

    The craftsmanship of this old man Lillade is really impressive. Regardless of the pearl clams, they come in different sizes and shapes. As long as you walk through his hands, you can basically choose the best spot to open the clams.  The sharp sword of his sword was inserted gently, and then he made another stroke back and forth along the gap. Basically, the pearl clam was easily opened, and the situation inside was immediately revealed. Whether there was a pearl or not was visible at a glance!

    Many of the people who went up were very confident, thinking that the pearl clams they selected would definitely contain good products!

    But the reality was quite different from what they expected. After some of the clams were opened, they found that apart from the milky-white mussel meat, not to mention pearls, there were not even a single stone inside!

    "Shit! This is really disappointing!"

    Some disappointed people simply threw away the pearl clams without any pearls in their hands!

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Some smaller pearl clams bloomed with pure white pearls, which attracted a burst of cheers from the crowd. The person who bloomed the pearls was also very happy. Although the pearls bloomed were not too big, if they can¡¯t win this year¡¯s Pearl Conference? Laurel, this pearl cannot belong to him, but being able to get a pearl represents good luck!

    So, every time a pearl clam was opened, it would be followed by sighs of disappointment or cheers of joy from the onlookers.

    And then there was a loud cheer, and the pearl clam in old man Lillade's hand was pregnant with four or five pearls of different sizes!

    It is extremely rare to find multiple pearls in one clam, although the largest among the four or five pearls is less than one centimeter in diameter, and the smallest ones are only the size of rice grains.

    But in the small town of Aldu, it is extremely rare to see such a clam, so everyone cheered!

    Such is the joy of these small town residents!

    It seems that there are only a few pearl clams that have not yet opened, but the pearls that have opened this year are not too big, far from reaching the level of previous years, and the residents of Aldu Town are starting to get anxious.

    In addition to celebrating the meaning of the Pearl Fair, there is another meaning in the hearts of these town residents who have been fishermen for generations, that is, if a large enough pearl can be found at the Pearl Fair, then everyone will be lucky this year.  The harvest will not be less!

    This is the same as when the boss of a domestic ship wants to pay homage to the Sea Dragon King. They are asking for psychological comfort, and this psychological comfort carries a lot of weight in the hearts of fishermen!

    But then a small town resident wearing a rubber coat attracted a lot of attention when he took out the pearl clam he had chosen from his arms. This pearl clam was very likely to be of high quality in terms of appearance and size.  High pearls come!

    "Brick, it's a clam, let me turn it on!"

    Even old man Lillade couldn't help but praise the pearl clam when he saw it. He, who specializes in opening clams and has been dealing with pearl clams all his life, has the most accurate eyes when looking at pearl clams.

    Hearing what Old Lillade said, both the man named Brick and the surrounding crowd showed a hint of expectation in their eyes!

    As expected, as Old Lillade raised his knife and dropped his hand, the two shells of the pearl clam were separated, and what was revealed immediately made everyone excited!

    A pearl as white as snow, about one centimeter in diameter, was quietly embedded in the milky white clam meat inside, releasing a soft and radiant brilliance that attracted the attention of everyone present!

    This is definitely the largest and the highest quality among all the pearls released today, and it definitely reaches the level of previous years!

    ¡°Hey Brick, it¡¯s great to have yours!¡±

    "Brick has a good vision, and this year's crown must be yours!"

    "The quality of this pearl is even better than last year. We will definitely get a generous gift from the sea this year!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
