Chapter 202 The Beginning of Pearl Culture

Gu Fei and Lian'er got on the mule cart together. Gu Sanlang almost fell asleep and hurriedly drove to the south gate.

  In more than a quarter of an hour, Gu Fei arrived home.

  After entering the second door, she happened to see Ms. Chen coming out. Ms. Chen said, "You're back. Take a quick look. Your father brought home a lot of pearl clams and said he was going to do some implants."

  "I dislike it again ." We are too clumsy to interfere."

  "Where is my father?"

  Chen said, "Well, it's over in the west wing."

  Gu Fei hurried over.

  The door was opened, and there was a square basket on the floor in the room, with dozens of pearl clams neatly stacked in it, all of which had been cleaned.

  Looking at Gu Zhang again, he hadn't made any move yet, still holding the book and reading.

  Gu Fei breathed a sigh of relief.

  She read and copied this book once, and she still knew something about it.

  When implanting the bead core or inner mantle into the pearl clam, it must be hygienic to avoid infection of the pearl clam, and the action must be fast to minimize the damage to the pearl clam as much as possible.

  Gu Zhang raised his head and saw her, "Daughter, you are back. If you don't come back, I will do it myself."

  Gu Fei said, "Dad, have you got all the tools?"

  Gu Zhang nodded, "I ordered it years ago. Qian'er got it back."

  There was a wooden box on the table. Gu Fei opened it and found scissors, tweezers, a knife, and a long needle inside.

  There is also a small box. When you open it, there are small shell beads and a wooden wedge.

  At this time, artificially raised pearls were already available, and these small shell beads were specially used for implantation.

  Only by implanting these round small pearls can the pearls grow round easily.

  However, the survival rate of clams is not high if only shell beads are used for implantation, so modern techniques must be used to wrap the shell beads with the inner mantle of the clam for implantation.

  Seeing that everything was ready, Gu Fei stretched out her head and called Lian'er, "Lian'er, bring a clean basin."

  Lian'er hurriedly went to the front kitchen, found a basin, washed it and brought it over.

  Gu Fei closed the door, took out a bottle of 75% alcohol from the space, and put the scissors, tweezers, knives, long needles, small shell beads and wooden wedges inside for disinfection.

  Gu Zhang saw that she had done it, "Then I'll get started."

  Gu Fei said, "Dad, please disinfect your hands too."

  Gu Zhang saw that the book also said disinfection, although he didn't quite understand what it meant. , but he will do whatever his daughter says.

  Gu Fei poured some alcohol on Gu Zhang's hands and Gu Zhang rubbed them.

  Gu Zhang picked up a clam shell and put it on the table, and started to pry the edge of the clam shell with a knife.

  After prying for a long time, Gu Zhang looked at it and said, "This is for cutting the membrane."

  He opened the clam with force and took off a layer of meat membrane on the edge of the shell. Gu Fei quickly moved the table as well. After wiping it with alcohol, Gu Zhang put the film on.

  Gu Fei picked up the knife and cut the film into strips first, then into small pieces.

  Gu Zhang opened another pearl clam and said, "This one is big. This should be good for implantation."

  Putting the wooden wedge on the edge of the clam shell, Gu Fei quickly took out a small piece of membrane to wrap the bead core, and then took a long The needle was carefully inserted into the clam.

  After completing one and taking off the wooden wedges, both Gu Zhang and Gu Fei breathed a sigh of relief. Gu Zhang smiled and said, "It's not that difficult."

  The father and daughter worked together in a tacit understanding and spent two hours making all the pearl clams. Well implanted.

  The two of them looked at these pearl clams with a sense of accomplishment.

  Gu Zhang smiled and said: "We will be able to gain something next year."
