Chapter 165: Red Coral Necklace
The pomelo itself has a lot of flesh and little flesh, plus it is difficult to peel, and then it has a bitter taste, so people in this era do not like to eat it.
Even when the original owner saw grapefruit hanging on the tree on the mountain on the Song family's side before, he didn't even give a look.
However, Song Xi knew that it was because people in this era didn't know that there were so many ways to eat grapefruit, and even if they knew, they were reluctant to do that, because they needed a lot of materials and it was not worth it.
"Uncle, how do you sell this grapefruit?" Song Xi squatted down, reached out and took a grapefruit from the bamboo basket, leaned in front of his nose and smelled it, the fragrance was indeed quite fragrant.
I just don't know if there's meat in it, and it's really risky to buy this.
"A dime a pound." The old man stretched out his hand and gestured one by one, and all his teeth were almost lost.
Looking at the old man like this, Song Xi felt very sad, but what can be done, everyone is like this in this era, how is it like modern times, there is meat and wine all of a sudden, and you can change a few sets of new clothes a day.
"Okay, then I'll do it, we don't have to weigh it, just count it as a pound and a half!"
Song Xi saw that the old man didn't weigh it in front of him, so it must be quite troublesome to weigh, and he had to find someone else to borrow it.
So she directly used such a method, and besides, if she calculated it like this, the old man would not lose at all.
"Okay." The old man didn't think about it, so he agreed, and he also knew that the grapefruit was thick and had little meat, and it was difficult to sell it, so if someone asked for it, he wouldn't say anything.
Song Xi counted them, and there were a total of twenty-five grapefruits.
Then the total weight should be thirty-seven and a half catties, three pieces and seven cents and five, and Song Xi directly gave three pieces and eight.
She put the grapefruit in the back basket and quietly smuggled to the supermarket as she walked, and soon the back basket became empty.
Song Xi didn't meet the mountain turtledove this time, but he ran into a pheasant, and he took down a pheasant directly for two yuan.
Because it is a female, Song Xi left it to lay eggs, and if he wants to reproduce, it will be impossible.
Unless you can meet male pheasants in the future, you can let them breed.
Seeing that someone was selling handmade cloth shoes made by himself, Song Xi bought five pairs for Zhou Yi.
The good clothes and shoes bought in the supply and marketing cooperatives or department stores, Zhou Yi never wears them when he goes out, he only wears his old ones, which is particularly low-key.
And the handmade cloth shoes are very ordinary, presumably Zhou Yi is willing to wear them.
"Auntie, what is this?" Seeing an aunt selling water chestnut nuts, Song Xi asked curiously.
Because the name of the horseshoe nut is different in different places, she wanted to ask first.
"This is a water chestnut, you can peel the skin and eat it directly, the taste is sweet, and you can also stir-fry and eat." The eldest lady explained with a smile on her face, finally someone came to ask her what she was selling, could she not be happy?
"What's that little bean-like thing next to it?" Song Xi's supermarket has chestnut nuts, so she can know them, but she really doesn't know the small one next to her, even the small potatoes are not so small.
"It's a wild chestnut, and the taste is almost the same, but it's a little troublesome to peel because it's too small." The eldest lady was a little embarrassed, but in order to sell it for more money, she took out all the wild ones, otherwise she would stay at home to satisfy her children's hunger.
"Big and small, how much is a pound?" Some things need to have a provenance, so Song Xi decided to buy these water chestnuts, so that they would have a reasonable provenance in the supermarket in the future.
"The big ones are a dime a pound, and the small ones are a pound a penny." The eldest lady said.
"Okay, then trouble the aunt to weigh me!"
Finally, I weighed it, twenty-seven catties of water chestnuts, two seven cents, and fifteen pounds of wild water chestnuts, seven cents and five cents.
Ordinary people are really reluctant to buy this thing, because there is nothing to eat, and it is troublesome to eat, but Song Xi has her uses.
After that, Song Xi bought 300 catties of potatoes, 700 catties of sweet potatoes, 1,200 catties of corn, and other scattered 15 catties of soybeans, 17 catties of broad beans, 2 catties of peanuts, and half a catty of mung beans.
She asked the stall owner to pick up the overweight things for her to go to the woods, and then they were sent to the supermarket.
There are so many edible animals on the roof of the supermarket, so you have to buy whole grains.
I didn't see any other good things today, so Song Xi didn't have much interest in continuing to hang out.
She carried the bones, pig's head and cloth shoes she bought before, and went to find Aunt Li and them, but as she walked, she saw a gay man with a very low brim of his hat, playing with a string of red beads in his hand.
The red beads in the man's hand are a string of red coral necklaces, and the red coral necklaces on the market are usually divided into ordinary, mid-range, mid-to-high-end, and high-end grades.
The price of ordinary red coral necklaces is about 2,000 yuan to 8,000 yuan, the price of mid-range red coral necklaces is about 8,000 to 20,000 yuan, the mid-to-high-end ones are about 20,000 yuan to 80,000 yuan, and the high-end ones are about 80,000 yuan to 200,000 yuan.
The price is even higher at the collector's level.
So no matter what level the red coral necklace in the man's hand is, as long as she starts it, she will definitely not lose money, thinking of this, Song Xi quickly left in front of the man.
She wants this red coral necklace, and she won't buy it in her own capacity, because during the special period, there are big-character posters and other incidents everywhere, what if this man reports her in order to get things back?
Isn't that more than worth the cost?
So Song Xi found a place, went into the supermarket and put on makeup to dress himself up as another man, changed all the clothes on his body, and even changed the back basket into a bamboo basket.
Song Xi came to the man's stall, changed his voice, and asked curiously, "This comrade, what are you here to sell?" Why don't you have anything in your stall? ”
"Comrade, I have something good here, do you want it?" Seeing that someone finally asked him, the man leaned in front of Song Xi and asked in a low voice.
Song Xi looked at the gay man, she didn't show any special expectation, "What are the good things you are talking about?" I'll have to see before I know if I want to. ”
After hearing Song Xi's words, the man looked around, and then he carefully took out a string of red beads from his pocket and showed it to Song Xi.
Song Xi saw the red beads that the man took out, and his heart trembled, he didn't see it clearly when he was far away before, but now he can see it clearly, this is a high-end red coral necklace, if it is preserved in modern times, the price should be between 80,000 and 200,000.
Although this money is nothing in modern times, this thing is beautiful!
Song Xi said to the man, "How much are you going to sell this string of beads?" ”
"Fifty bucks." The man gestured his fingers.
"Okay, fifty dollars is fifty dollars!" After Song Xi finished speaking, he neatly took out ten yuan from his pocket and handed it to the man in front of him, "If you encounter such a good thing again in the future, remember to come here again, it must be genuine, I won't look at a fake." ”
