Yu Jingting indeed had a pair of nimble hands.
As Suizi directed him to open the clams, he quickly got them open, and upon seeing the numerous objects inside, he didn't react immediately.
"They're pearls. Take them out and put them in the basin. Mom, don't we still have a bag of sawdust?"
Wang Cuihua was stupefied; this was the first time she had witnessed the birth of a pearl.
"So this smelly thing is a pearl - what do you want the sawdust for?"
"The pearls need to be polished. First, they should be soaked in clean water, then rubbed with a mixture of sawdust and saltwater to remove the surface calcium carbonate. Then, they need to be rinsed with clean water and soaked again in solvent."
Come daylight, she would find a place to get the solvent. It shouldn't be too difficult as cosmetic factories usually have it.
"Where did you get these?"
Wang Cuihua pulled some tissue paper out of her pocket to stuff up her nose, offering some to Suizi as well.
