Chapter 515: Golden South Pearl
Who dares to commit crimes against the wind and wear jewelry?
The whereabouts of the pearls purchased by the state in a unified manner from the artificial breeding base can be guessed by Huanhuan, and most of them are exported to earn foreign exchange.
When I was in Hujiang before, I saw pearl jewelry in the counters of the Overseas Chinese Exchange Store and the First Department Store.
"Hey! It's nothing for me to run for nothing, but what to do with the new drugs in the factory? Duan Huan sighed.
"If you only buy a few taels and a half pounds, comrade, I can help you think of a way," the uncle said regretfully: "But you are a unit procurement, and the demand is so large, I am also powerless!" ”
Huanhuan's eyes lit up, "Uncle, please give the younger generation a trick, you can have a half-catty and eighty-tael, and the first batch of medicine can also complete part of the task, and I will be less criticized!" ”
"I know the old guy, and he may still have pearls in his hand, if you can trust my old man, little comrade, just wait for me to go over to find them after I get off work!" Uncle said unhurriedly.
He nodded happily, "Trustworthy, trustworthy!" If I buy pearls, I have to thank you for being old! ”
"Don't be too happy, the inventory in the hands of those old guys may not be in good condition, they are pearl divers before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and they will be taken off after the water is in good condition, only those defective products will be smashed into their hands!" The old man is still too serious to speak.
Huan Huan waved his hand again and again, "Uncle, it's okay, the pearls that are used in medicine have to be ground into powder anyway, and the shape and size will not affect the efficacy of the medicine!" I just don't know what your friends are going to do with those pearls? ”
Some of the pearls that can be held in your hands for decades may be difficult to get rid of because they are in poor condition, or they may be good treasures and want to live in strange goods.
Those that are not in good condition can be sold at a low price, but the kind of things that are regarded as treasures are not easy to buy with money alone.
"At this time, every family is short of food, and it is best to exchange food stamps, whether local food stamps or national food stamps!" Uncle replied.
Wan Huan frowned and said, "If you don't have food stamps, can you use food directly?" I came out this time and purchased a little rice, so I will exchange this rice for your friend's pearls, and I will think of other ways to do it if there is a shortage of food. ”
"Yes, it's better to use food directly, and it also saves the old guys old arms and legs, and then go to the grain station to toss around!" A smile finally appeared on the uncle's face.
In this year, it seems that grain is still the hardest hard currency!
In most places in Hepu, crops can reach three crops a year, and it stands to reason that there is no shortage of grain.
But when the doorman heard that Duan Huan had food in his hand, his eyes became eager, which could only explain one problem, the ration was not enough.
Twenty or thirty catties of grain a month actually sounds like a lot at first glance.
However, more than half of the twenty or thirty catties of grain supplied were coarse grains such as sorghum and corn.
In addition, people nowadays are generally short of oil and water, and the average person eats three or two meters at a meal, which is seven points full.
Families with good economic conditions will go to grain stations or the black market to buy bargaining grain at high prices.
There is also a way to replace the rationed fine grains with coarse grains, and add some dried vegetables and pickles, and you will be able to have a full stomach.
There may be nothing else to enjoy, that is, there is no shortage of food, and 1,800 catties of food are trivial matters for her.
However, in line with the principle that wealth is not revealed and the heart of defense is indispensable, Juhuan asks to come to see the goods first, and then negotiate the specific price before trading.
The uncle also agreed, and also borrowed the rack car from the warehouse of the breeding base in advance, and it seems that he is also full of confidence in this transaction. k
Sitting in the guard's room, it was also boring to wait for the uncle to get off work, so he went to the state-run restaurant to solve the dinner first, and went to the beach after eating.
The breeding base is on the seaside, and the beach is sprinkled with gold at dusk, which is so beautiful that it is breathtaking, and I take out my camera and consume a lot of film.
Eat and play and play, and she still has a sense of time and the spirit of contract, and she appeared at the door of the base on time at six o'clock.
The home of several old guys of the uncle is not far from the breeding base, and it is not more than ten minutes to walk.
According to the uncle, these old men of his, after the founding of the country could not dive pearls, also worked in the breeding base like him.
However, those old guys went to sea for pearl diving for a longer time than him, and they fell into a problem, and their age became even worse, so they retired early and let the children of the family take over the work.
In fact, the uncle's condition is not much better, his right foot is a little lame, walking on tiptoe, not very neat, it is said that when he went to sea to dive pearls, he was bitten by a shark and was not cured, so he was left disabled.
However, the uncle said that he was lucky to go ashore in advance to do other work, otherwise he would be even more sick now.
Duan Huan felt that the uncle said this because he was optimistic and understood the truth of contentment.
When he arrived at his first friend's house, Huancai felt that what the uncle said was true.
Compared to his old fellow, who was so sick that he couldn't get off the ground, he was indeed lucky to be able to move freely in good health.
His old buddy knew the intention of Huanhuan, because there was an uncle to match, and without much effort, he took out a palm-sized wooden box from the cabinet drawer next to the bed.
The box is filled with pearls of different sizes, colors and shapes, which are indeed not very good in Hepu South Pearls.
But compared with the general freshwater mussel pearls, the overall quality is more than one and a half stars.
Among them, there are more than a dozen Yurun round beads, that is, the particles are not too large, with a diameter of 5-6 mm.
The size is 84 pearls, and the uncle's friend asks for 400 catties of rice and 50 catties of flour, and the price is not too high for Duan Huan to agree.
Later, they came to the other three houses one after another, and the situation of the three old pearl divers was similar, and the torture of illness made them look much older than the doorman.
Pearl diving, without protective tools, is an industry full of blood and tears.
Those super-A antique pearls displayed in world-class museums and treasured in private safes are estimated to be unable to avoid the smell of blood.
The old man of the last family took out a golden pearl with a diameter of nearly three centimeters, and looked at all the eyes of the joy.
This is not the biggest Nanzhu that Duan Huan has ever seen, but it is definitely the most perfect one that Duan Huan has ever seen.
Delicate and heavy, jade and round, large and dignified, magnificent and colorful, crystal round, bright and gorgeous, luster and wonderful.
All the advantages of Hepu Nanzhu are vividly reflected in this pearl.
In addition to 1,000 catties of rice, this pearl costs 200 yuan.
You must know that such pearls can be called rare treasures.
