Chapter 216 Stone and Cell Phone
Jiang Wanwan put the opened melon seeds on the cashier counter for everyone to take.
I also peeled two melon seeds and ate them, just to set an example for everyone.
Eating melon seeds requires skill, although sunflower seeds are easier to peel than other seeds.
But when I first came into contact with the mermaids, I still felt a little flustered.
Fortunately, foodies often learn everything they need to know when it comes to delicious food.
After trying it, Ruoshui quickly found the trick to peeling melon seeds and shared it with her tribesmen.
Seeing that the mermaids were enjoying their melon seeds, Jiang Wanwan started to deal with the apple in her hand.
I saw her pick up a kitchen knife and start cutting into pieces and removing the cores, while introducing it.
"This is called an apple. It's a fruit. It's crisp, sweet, sour, and juicy. One costs 50 star coins. You can eat it peeled or not, but you absolutely cannot eat the core."
The apples were evenly cut into small pieces that were just big enough to eat, but unfortunately there were no forks or toothpicks, so I had to eat them with my hands.
Fortunately, the guests on the seabed don’t understand these things, so naturally no one complains.
At this moment, the mermaids have just mastered the trick of peeling melon seeds, and are happily peeling and eating one at a time!
To be honest, they didn't really want to stop, and they hadn't even finished eating the melon seeds in their hands!
But everything here is delicious, so I guess this one called Apple should be pretty good too.
I’m so confused, what should I do?
In the end, Ruoshui couldn't resist her curiosity, so she stopped peeling the melon seeds and picked up a piece of apple and put it in her mouth.
With a light bite, the apple immediately bursts with juice in your mouth, and the sour and sweet juice spreads in your mouth.
My mouth, which was a little dry from eating melon seeds, suddenly felt like it was injected with a stream of sweet and sour spring water.
"Well, this is delicious too!" Ruoshui nodded repeatedly and spoke vaguely while chewing.
With Ruoshui's example, other mermaids also took action.
In short, this new product introduction and tasting event was very successful and effective.
The mermaids were all smiling happily while eating and couldn't put the food down.
After all the apples on the chopping board were eaten, Jiang Wanwan finally spoke in summary.
"These six new products are what I brought this time. You've all tasted them. If you like any of them, you can come and place an order with me."
As for the three kinds of goods brought at the beginning, they must have spread among the mermaids, so there is no need to introduce them specifically.
Hearing this, Ruoshui was the first to respond, shouting loudly: "I, I'll go first!"
As he spoke, he twisted his big tail and moved towards the star coin exchanger.
"In order to come and buy things, my mother specially asked me to bring three pieces of shark silk."
Ruoshui held up the mermaid silk in her hand and said proudly.
The shark silk is about one meter wide and is rolled up like cloth. The overall look is radiant and colorful, yet light and breathable.
The mermaids standing around were peeling melon seeds and eating them while watching the transaction process curiously.
Upon hearing this, they started to communicate with each other.
"I wonder how many star coins I can exchange for a piece of shark silk?"
"I still have a few pieces of shark silk at home! I'll exchange them for something delicious when I have time."
"Hey, I don't have many mermaid pearls, and I haven't woven mermaid silk in the past two years. What else can I exchange for money?"
……
Ruoshui immediately grasped the key point and turned around to answer.
"In addition to shark beads and shark silk, fish in the sea can also be exchanged for star coins. A fish as big as mine can be exchanged for more than ten star coins!"
"Catching fish? That's my forte! Let's get started soon."
"Catching fish is such a simple thing, who among us can't do it? Why are you so excited?"
Before the two mermaids started arguing, Jiang Wanwan quickly interrupted.
"Actually, besides sea fish, there are some things that can be exchanged for star coins, and they are easy to obtain."
"What is it?" Without waiting for others to react, Ruoshui immediately asked what everyone was thinking.
"Some rocks on the seabed!" Jiang Wanwan answered vaguely.
"Ah?" The mermaids looked at each other.
What good can stones do? Aren't the stones on the seabed also stones?
If you carry a lot of them and can only exchange them for a few star coins, you might as well go fishing!
Jiang Wanwan naturally knew the doubts of these mermaids and quickly took out her cell phone.
"Not ordinary stones, but some specific minerals."
As he spoke, he took out a video from his mobile phone and played it for these mermaids.
The content of the video is about polymetallic nodules and the collection environment of cobalt-rich manganese crusts.
This was sent by the country specifically to Jiang Wanwan yesterday.
The purpose is to let the mermaids better know where to find these minerals.
Yes, the country plans to focus on these two types of minerals. As for other minerals, although they are also important, they are not suitable for mermaids to collect.
The video in the phone started playing, but the mermaids' first attention was on the phone itself.
"what is this?"
"It's amazing. There are people talking in it, and the pictures are moving."
"Is this a thousand-mile sound transmission?"
……
Ruoshui couldn't help but ask, "What is this? It's amazing. Can you sell it to me?"
These reactions were expected. Jiang Wanwan paused the video and explained.
"This is a machine that can save images, but I'm sorry, we can't sell it to you."
Mobile phones were not so easy to sell, especially in ancient times.
Let’s not talk about how outrageous the price tag will be.
A mobile phone alone is not enough. At the very least, it needs power, internet, and even various contents.
Think about how many places this will take up. It’s really a losing deal and can’t be done!
When the mermaids heard that they couldn’t sell it to them, their faces suddenly looked a little disappointed.
After all, this machine looks so magical, it must be fun.
Fortunately, most mermaids are very free and easy-going, and they can get over the loss.
Jiang Wanwan then opened the video again and played it for them.
After withdrawing their attention from the mobile phone, the mermaids finally noticed the content of the video.
"What's in here seems to be in the ocean?"
"Ah, can such an ugly stone really be exchanged for star coins?"
"I think I've seen this kind of stone before. There's a place on the seabed with a lot of them. They really hurt my tail, so I never went there again."
……
After the video was finished, the mermaids had a specific understanding of the stone that Jiang Wanwan wanted.
Ruoshui confirmed again: "Are you sure this thing can really be exchanged for star coins?"
"Of course it can be exchanged, but to know how much it can be exchanged for, you need to see the actual item!" Jiang Wanwan replied.
"Okay! After I finish buying things, I will go find one to try, and then tell you all when I get the result!" Ruoshui agreed immediately.
Anyway, you can just pick up stones from the seabed, they are not big, it just takes some time.
