Chapter 948 - 948 Lack of Money

?Chapter 948: Lack of Money Chapter 948: Lack of Money Editor: Atlas Studios Little Bear took the sandrock from the old man’s hand and scraped the shell of another clam, but the clam did not react at all.

The old man took it and held his hand.

After changing the direction, he gently scratched it twice.

The clamshell slowly opened… It was not difficult to open the clamshell.

Even the children of the fishermen in Hepu knew how to do it because they had been harvesting pearls for generations.

They had learned this ability from the moment they learned how to swim.

In the past, they had also killed clams to obtain pearls, like people in other regions do.

However, later on they stopped due to two reasons.

Firstly, it was the fact that there was a less than one in 1,000 chance of finding a pearl in a clam.

Those clams had died too unjustly, and the number of clams in the sea had decreased drastically with each generation.

Secondly, the Tang dynasty had started to ban the harvesting of pearls among the commoners.

Under this new rule, they could not bring the clams to the shore to harvest the pearls, and could only do so on the boat or in the water.

Perhaps they could still open the clams on the boat.

But in the water, to begin with, it was difficult for people to breathe.

In addition to having to withstand the water pressure, how could they dare to use too much strength?

Therefore, the method of opening the clamshell was gradually perfected.

This was a method that their ancestors had risked their lives to come up with.

Fishermen did not keep such things a secret from each other.
