Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord

"Bang bang bang..."

At this time, there was a knock on the study door, which made Liu Feng stunned. Who would come at this time? All the girls with animal ears are here, those who read books, those who play cards play cards.

"Come in." Liu Feng said calmly, and Maoer Niang immediately reached out to tear off the note on his face, and played in private, but you can order as you like, but you must maintain an aristocratic demeanor in front of people.

"Kagji..."

The study door opened, and Niu Da strode in, holding a sack in his hand. When I came in, I saw the notes on the faces of the beast ear girl and my sister, and immediately understood what I was playing, and felt that I came at the wrong time.

"Niu Da, what's the matter?" Liu Feng frowned. Niu Da's task is to patrol the periphery of the territory and guard, and he is probably here for something.

"Master, there is one thing that needs to be reported to you." Niu Dalian hurriedly said, he opened the sack in his hand, revealing a dozen palm-sized, black flat things inside.

"What is this?" An Li was shocked, this thing is too ugly, right?

"Where did they come from?" Liu Feng asked in surprise, he recognized what these things were, they were freshwater mussels.

"I went to the port in the morning to patrol and saw the people who built the bridge fish it out from the bottom of the river. It felt very strange, so I brought it to the young master to have a look." Niu Da said briefly.

"I didn't expect this thing to exist in the Youshui River." Liu Feng smiled lightly, and reached out to take a freshwater clam, which was really big.

"Master, do you know this thing?" Mina asked in surprise, her cat ears trembling slightly.

"This is called a freshwater clam." Liu Feng raised the corner of his mouth, glanced at the people present, and said with a light smile, "May I ask you a question?"

"My lord, what's the problem?" Wei Ya's rabbit ears pricked up.

"Do you know how pearls come from?" Liu Feng asked lightly.

"Pearl?" Nicole frowned, then shook her head, she really didn't know this.

"My lord, you don't mean to say that pearls come from freshwater mussels, do you?" Eliza said in amazement.

"That's right." Liu Feng nodded, stretched out his hand and said to Mina, "Knife."

"Yes." Mina flipped over, and a saber appeared in her hand, and handed it over.

"Freshwater mussels have a certain chance to produce pearls." Liu Feng said lightly, piercing the saber along the side of the mussel, prying open the shell.

"Wow! There are really pearls, so many." An Li shouted excitedly, looking at the dozens of pearls of different sizes inside the oyster with bright eyes.

"This is the origin of the pearl." Eliza, Nicole, Mina, and Wei Ya were all stunned.

They heard that pearls come from the sea, they are very precious jewelry, and the pearls that can only be exchanged with human lives are actually produced by such an ugly thing?

"Aren't you surprised?" Liu Feng took out the pearls, shared one for each of them, and said softly, "There are also pearls in the sea, and they are also produced by similar mussels. The pearls are bigger than freshwater mussels."

"Master, do these have pearls?" Tess stared at the unopened freshwater mussels, and she wanted to try opening one herself.

"You'll know after you try it." Liu Feng handed over the saber, saw the eager eyes of the others, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Let's open one for each person."

He thought of an interesting thing that can make money and play, that is, betting on clams to open pearls. However, he needs some knowledge to find out how to choose pearl mussels, and artificial breeding can also make a lot of money.

"Yeah, I want to choose this." An Li immediately hugged the largest freshwater clam.

"Then I want this." Teess followed suit.

"I'm not in a hurry, you guys choose first." Wei Ya said softly.

"..."

Chapter 0521 Pearl Court.

The third day of the new year.

"It's selling newspapers, it's selling newspapers, the city lord has opened a new store called Pearl Pavilion, everyone passing by, don't miss it." The kid selling newspapers on the street shouted loudly.

"A newspaper."

"Bring me a newspaper, too."

"..."

Solo took Geer on the road, and the father and son were about to eat noodles when they heard the newsman shouting for pearls, which aroused Solo's attention.

Pearls are very good things, and they are also one of the favorite things of the nobles. They are more popular than gold, especially those noble ladies, who are crazy about pearls.

"Father, let's go eat noodles first." Geer had a bad feeling when he saw his father reading the newspaper seriously.

"Let's buy some steamed stuffed buns. Let's go to the Pearl Pavilion and eat noodles later." Solo put away the newspaper, and strode towards the Pearl Pavilion.

"Oh!" Geer pouted, reluctantly followed, and then bought a few buns at the bun shop.

The location of the Pearl Pavilion is near the Qianzhuang. It is a large building. It was originally reserved by Liu Feng for opening a spice shop in the future, but now that there are pearl oysters, it will be used first.

When Solo brought Geer to the Pearl Pavilion, he found many acquaintances, all businessmen, and some curious civilians.

"Look, everyone, Mr. Solo is here too."

"Haha...Mr. Solo, are you also here for Pearl?"

"..."

"Mr. Solo, you are here too." Tori greeted, he also read the newspaper.

"Your Excellency Tori, why are you all standing here?" Solo asked curiously.

"We came early, the Pearl Pavilion hasn't opened yet." Tori spread his hands and said.

"Uh..." Solo was stunned for a moment before he realized that he had woken up early. Now that he had to send Geer to school, he got up early habitually, unlike before.

"I don't know how many pearls there are. I hope there can be more, so that the price will not be too high." Tori said softly. He wanted to buy some better pearls for his wife.

"The store opened by the Lord of the City, there should be no shortage of pearls, right?" Solo's tone was full of uncertainty. If the quantity is large, this is another business.

"Mr. Solo, what do you think pearls are?" Tori rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "You must know that pearls are treasures from the sea, and the number that flows to the west every year is even less."

"Then I can only hope that the price will not be too high." Solo sighed, if there were a lot of pearls, he might buy a lot.

In the crowd, Princess Lucy and Jones were also there. They were also attracted by the pearl, and now they are hiding in the corner for fear of being seen by Solo.

After all, Solo is Darlene's father, and he has also met Princess Lucy. Once Solo sees him, his identity will be exposed.

"Tat Tat Tat..."

The sound of horseshoes sounded, and a carriage was approaching slowly not far away, and stopped in front of Pearl Pavilion after a while.

"My lord, the Pearl Pavilion is here." Xin Ke reported in a deep voice, scanning the surroundings with cold eyes, forcing many people to retreat.
