Jiang Zhenzhen's expression fell on the eyes of the white-bearded old man, he liked these pearls very much, and he really wanted to accept them, so he added: "You were brought by Ah Xiangpo, I will definitely give you the highest price." You can go out and ask, and no other pawnshop will bid more than me. ”

Ah Xiangpo also said: "Girl, don't worry, he won't pit you." ”

"Okay, then I'll do it." Jiang Zhenzhen is also a happy person, since the white-bearded old man said so, then she will believe him once, anyway, there are still a lot of pearls in the space, she can go to other pawnshops to inquire when she goes back, if she is sure that this white-bearded old man has cheated herself, then she will not sell the remaining pearls to this person.

Besides, if the monk can't run the temple, if he really gets a big pit, then she will come and smash his shop.

"I'm right." The white-bearded old man put away the pearls with a smile, looked through them with affection, and even found a clean silk cloth to wipe the surface of the pearls, and then he asked, "Cash or check?" ”

A total of 12,000 yuan, which is equivalent to almost four months' salary for an employee in Xingang, which is also a lot of money.

"Cash." Jiang Zhenzhen does not have a Xingang account, so naturally she doesn't want to deal with the bank more.

The maximum face value of banknotes here in Xingang is 1,000 yuan, 12,000 yuan, which is 12 banknotes. Jiang Zhenzhen was stunned when she saw such a large denomination of banknotes, you must know that at this time, the largest denomination of banknotes on the mainland is only ten yuan, and a thousand Hong Kong dollars are issued here!

With such a large denomination, it's not very convenient to spend. After thinking about it, Jiang Zhenzhen said: "Two thousand yuan, can you exchange it for twenty and one hundred for me?" ”

Of course, the white-bearded old man would not disagree, he took the two banknotes, recounted twenty ten-yuan bills from the drawer behind the counter and handed them to Jiang Zhenzhen.

Jiang Zhenzhen didn't leave immediately, but asked the white-bearded old man: "If it's that kind of round wild pearl with almost no flaws, how much can it be worth?" ”

"That's precious." The white-bearded old man was in a good mood when he received something he liked, and he was not willing to answer such questions for others in the past, but today, he said, "I haven't seen a flawless wild pearl for many years, and if the diameter is also large, then find a jewelry designer to design a style and put it in the auction house, and meet someone you like, maybe you can auction a house for money." ”

You must know that the average price of houses in Xingang during this period has almost reached 1,000 yuan per square foot, and one square foot is converted into square meters, which is almost 0.1 square meters. In other words, the house price in Xingang during this period has risen to 10,000 yuan per square meter! And a house costs at least 30 square meters, that is, 300,000 yuan.

If 300,000 Hong Kong dollars are converted into Chinese dollars, it will cost more than 200,000 yuan, and in this era when a household with 10,000 yuan is called a wealthy family, more than 200,000 yuan is a huge amount of money for Chinese people.

Moreover, the white-bearded old man didn't say how big the house was just now.

Jiang Zhenzhen was a little excited, but she didn't dare to show it, so she could only hold her palm and use pain to remind herself to be calm.

The white-bearded old man continued: "If there are more than fifty wild pearls of uniform shape and size, they will be put into necklaces and sent to auction, and they will be auctioned for tens of millions. ”

Jiang Zhenzhen was speechless, she remembered her white butterfly shell pasture, and she didn't know if those white butterfly shells could produce such a necklace.

Then she snorted softly, shook her head, and quickly threw this unrealistic fantasy behind her.

Before parting, Ah Xiangpo also warmly invited Jiang Zhenzhen to her house as a guest, but Jiang Zhenzhen refused, and then Ah Xiangpo told Jiang Zhenzhen the address of her home, so that she could come to the house to play when she was free.

Ah Xiangpo also inquired about Jiang Zhenzhen's address, but after Jiang Zhenzhen showed a look of embarrassment, Ah Xiangpo changed the topic with special insight.

After saying goodbye to Ah Xiangpo, Jiang Zhenzhen went to a nearby supermarket and wholesale market to buy some daily necessities.

Now the most lacking thing in the family is rice and flour oil, and she is ready to buy more, but in order not to arouse suspicion, she runs many shops, and each family only buys a bag of rice, a bag of noodles and a barrel of oil. Even so, those who sold things were stunned when they saw Jiang Zhenzhen, a little girl, carrying more than 100 catties of things at once.

After Jiang Zhenzhen finished shopping in one place, she went to the secluded place where she stepped on it in advance, and after making sure that there were no eyes around, she put things into the space, and then went to the next place to purchase supplies.

In addition to the most basic rice and flour oil, Jiang Zhenzhen also bought a lot of meat, chicken, pork, beef, and mutton are rare on the island, she bought some of them, and prepared to take them out occasionally to satisfy her cravings. As for what kind of reasons should be made up at that time, Jiang Zhenzhen thought, and then talk about it, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain.

After buying food and drink, Jiang Zhenzhen went to the clothing store to pick out two new clothes for herself Zhou Haihua and her nephews and nieces, the two children have never worn new clothes when they are so old, and they all pick up the old clothes of Jiang Zhenzhen or other brothers and sisters, and Zhou Haihua has not bought a new dress for five or six years.

Xingang is a place to catch up with the fashion trend, fortunately, Jiang Zhenzhen's province is next to Xingang, with the advent of reform and opening up, the wind of Xingang fashion has gradually blown to the ancient land that has been closed for a long time. Xingang is the most basic style, and if you put it on Moon Island, you can also wear it out.

And the clothes that Jiang Zhenzhen bought for herself are more fashionable, and she plans to come to Hong Kong again in the future, so she will wear such fashionable clothes, at least in appearance, she can't let people here look flat.

After buying these daily necessities, Jiang Zhenzhen considered that she would have to use money after returning home, and the Hong Kong dollar would definitely not be able to be used at home, and she had to exchange it for Chinese dollars, but she did not have a local account and could not go to the bank to exchange Chinese dollars, and the family did not know if there was an exchange channel, so Jiang Zhenzhen decided to buy some scarce products in the mainland, such as cosmetics, skin care products, tobacco and alcohol, and watch walkmans.

Xingang's income is high, and the price of goods is also high, and the 12,000 yuan exchanged for four pearls is not much left after buying things. But Jiang Zhenzhen is not in a hurry, after all, there are still a lot of pearls in the space that can be exchanged for money.
