Jiang Zhenzhen coughed dryly and said, "I'm here to sell pearls again." ”

The white-bearded old man asked, "Is it still a wild pearl?" ”

"Yes."

Jiang Zhenzhen specially prepared a black velvet bag, except for the three round pearls in the most perfect condition and a drop-shaped pearl, she put the rest in, a weighty bag.

Jiang Zhenzhen put the velvet bag on the counter and motioned to the white-bearded old man to check, the white-bearded old man took the velvet bag, and when the heavy weight pressed on the palm of his hand, his pupils opened slightly, revealing a little surprised.

Open the drawstring on the black velvet bag, and there are a lot of pearls in the bag, and the black velvet sets off the skin light of the pearls very well, which is simply beautiful!

The white-bearded old man wanted to pour it into the palm of his hand, but he hesitated, and then from under the counter he found a velvet tray, also black velvet, the color that best lined up jewelry.

Carefully pouring the pearls into the tray, a sentence suddenly popped out of the white-bearded old man's mind - the big beads and the small beads fell on the jade plate.

Originally, the wild sea pearls were the most beautiful of pearls, and so many wild sea pearls were placed on a black velvet tray to shine, so that the white-bearded old man couldn't put it down.

Even if these pearls have flaws, it is these imperfections that give the pearls a natural beauty.

After admiring it for a while, the white-bearded old man began to use a magnifying glass to carefully distinguish the authenticity of these wild pearls, a total of fifteen of these pearls, he looked at them one by one, it took about five minutes, and finally after making sure that all the pearls were fine, he asked Jiang Zhenzhen: "Are you going to transfer all these pearls to me?" ”

Jiang Zhenzhen nodded: "You can make a price." ”

Last time, she sold four pearls that were not in good condition for 12,000, and this time she sold fifteen pearls, I don't know what price this white-bearded old man is willing to offer.

The white-bearded old man twisted his beard, he thought for a while, and said, "These fifteen pearls are of different sizes and different qualities, and I won't give you a single calculation, the price is fifty thousand." ”

Before Jiang Zhenzhen came, she had actually estimated the value of the fifteen pearls according to the price offered by the white-bearded old man last time, and she calculated it as 48,000 yuan, less than 50,000 yuan.

She had already appraised the price from a higher place, but she didn't expect the white-bearded old man to offer her a higher price, Jiang Zhenzhen was not dissatisfied, she nodded very happily and agreed.

The white-bearded old man was very satisfied with Jiang Zhenzhen's cheerfulness and asked her, "Is it still the same as last time?" ”

Jiang Zhenzhen nodded.

Old man with white beard: "Then you wait. Then he turned to his shop and told him to go to the bank and get some cash.

After that, he walked out from behind the counter, still holding a teapot and a cup in his hand, and motioned for Jiang Zhenzhen to sit on the chair directly opposite the counter, he put the teapot and teacup on the small table next to him, and then poured Jiang Zhenzhen a cup of tea.

He said, "This is black tea from India, you can taste it." ”

Jiang Zhenzhen took a sip of the teacup, she didn't understand tea, but the taste of this cup of tea was very strong, she nodded and said, "It's delicious." ”

However, the white-bearded old man shook his head and said, "It's still not as good as the tea from the mainland, I haven't drunk the tea from the mainland for many years." There was a lot of nostalgia in his tone.

Jiang Zhenzhen's mind moved after hearing this, perhaps, she could get some tea from Dongshi and give it to this old man?

"By the way, girl, why do you only accept cash and not transfers?" The white-bearded old man was a little puzzled, "It can't be that there is a problem with the origin of these pearls, right?" ”

"No, no." Jiang Zhenzhen hurriedly waved her hand, "There is absolutely no problem with the origin of these pearls, I opened them myself." She paused and said, "My family is a fisherman, and I caught these white lipped oysters myself, and luckily I got the pearls out of them." ”

"You're in luck, then." The white-bearded old man said, "Pearls of wild white-lipped berry are rare. After a pause, he showed a look of incomprehension again, "Since there is no problem with the origin of the pearl, then why don't you transfer money?" 50,000 yuan, which is the largest denomination of banknotes, also requires 50 pieces. The security here in Xingang is not good, what if it is stolen and robbed. ”

"Don't worry, you won't be stolen or robbed." How can you lose the things that are placed in the space, Jiang Zhenzhen still has this confidence. However, she thought about it for a while and said, "Actually, I am from the mainland and do not have a bank account. ”

After speaking, she kept staring at the expression of the white-bearded old man, the white-bearded old man did not show any disdainful expression, he nodded, and said: "Ninety percent of this new port is from the mainland, but some people come early, and some people come late." ”

Jiang Zhenzhen laughed: "That's the case." ”

"But since you have come to Xingang, hurry up and apply for a Xingang ID card, so that you can go to the bank to open an account." The white-bearded old man suggested.

Jiang Zhenzhen was stunned for a moment and pointed to her nose: "Can I get a Xingang ID card?" ”

The white-bearded old man nodded: "Yes, Xingang is implementing a policy of resistance, as long as you can successfully enter the urban area of the Kowloon Peninsula, you can go to the immigration office to apply for an ID card, and you will be a Xingang person in the future." In the past two years, many mainlanders have come to Xingang, and there is a long queue at the immigration office every day. ”

Jiang Zhenzhen is aware of this policy, Xingang and Pengcheng are separated by a river, the other side of the river is prosperous and developed, this side of the river is poor and backward, a few years ago, many people in order to live a better life, choose to swim across the Pengcheng River to smuggle to Xingang. However, the Pengcheng River is turbulent, the river channel is wide, the water quality is not good, and it is easy to drown, so some people in the eastern province practice swimming day and night in order to successfully smuggle the crossing.

But how did she remember that the policy was abolished in 1980? But she can't remember the specific time, it's almost May now, maybe this policy will be canceled in the second half of the year.

But now that she has this opportunity, she must apply for an ID card, after all, she may have to go back and forth between Xingang and the mainland for a long time, and it is convenient for her to do things in Xingang with this ID card.

Jiang Zhenzhen nodded and asked, "Where is the immigration office?" ”

The white-bearded old man said an address, and then said: "But you'd better find a local from Xingang to accompany you to do it, I heard that people who apply for certificates sometimes watch people put down dishes, and a local accompanies you, so it's not easy to be stuck." ”

Jiang Zhenzhen thought for a while and said, "Then I'll go to Ah Xiangpo in a while and ask her to accompany me." ”

The white-bearded old man bowed slightly, and then said, "Today happens to be a working day, you hurry up to the immigration office to apply for an ID card, and then go to the bank to open an account, I can wait for you to come back and do this pearl transaction with you." ”

Jiang Zhenzhen shook her head: "This is not in a hurry, I still accept cash today, because I have to go to the mall to buy something in a while, and it is more convenient to spend cash." ”
