I Wore It Back After 60 Years

Chapter 701: You Can't Get Rich

Li Xingxing said that she is well-informed.

Looking at the basket full of seafood, she said, "We'll talk about it after we go ashore and have a look."

Wash your hands in shallow water and go ashore.

Take a handkerchief and spread it on the ground, and pour the contents of the malted milk jar on the handkerchief, reflecting colorful brilliance in the sun, and there are dozens of pearls alone.

Pink, white, black, gold, yellow, colorful.

90.00% are white, there are several black ones, several gold ones, two pink ones, and one orange one.

Li Xingxing held a handful in his hand, looked at them carefully and said regretfully, "The bead layer is very thick, the grains vary in size, and most of them are not round enough, have flaws, and the maintenance is not in place! Only two in one hand are perfect."

The middle-aged woman was at a loss: "I don't understand."

It's normal not to understand.

One of the pink eggplant-shaped pearls is very beautiful. It is a conch pearl, rare and expensive.

Putting down the pearl in his hand, Li Xingxing picked up the only big orange pearl.

Sure enough, it was Merlot beads.

The whole is orange-red, nearly perfect circle, and the surface is as bright and lustrous as ceramics, with faint flame patterns.

Weigh it, it weighs about half a tael.

About 50 years later, there was an auction for a Melo bead weighing about 270 carats that was sold for US$[-] million.

Why do you say that?Because the auction house itself raises the market price of things and sells them to rich people.

Bidding, the highest bid wins.

Li Xingxing said to the middle-aged woman: "This bead is a good thing. It can be used as a family heirloom for your children. Are you really willing to exchange food stamps with me? I will give you a chance to regret it."

The middle-aged woman smiled wryly: "I gave birth to five children in total, and all of them died of illness. Only a five-year-old girl was left to live with me. If it weren't for the relief food distributed from above, we wouldn't even be able to eat. Now we can use Her father will definitely be willing to exchange the things left by her father for food stamps! Can it really be exchanged for ten catties of food stamps?"

Li Xingxing sighed: "Of course!"

Li Xingxing took out a 65-yuan Overseas Chinese Remittance Coupon and gave it to her: "You can buy [-] catties of grain, four catties of oil, five catties of glutinous rice, five catties of soybeans, five catties of bean food and twenty feet of cloth at the overseas Chinese store."

The middle-aged woman said blankly: "I haven't seen it before."

It means not knowing, not daring to accept.

"I'll give you another [-] catties of food stamps, can you give me all these things?" Li Xingxing asked her.

"Okay, okay!" The middle-aged woman smiled happily, and even helped to pick up the beads and put them into the malted milk jar, "When my man was alive, we had a good life. We often bought malted milk, canned food and milk for our children. Bread, and bring back butter for us to eat, it's a pity that good people don't live long."

While talking, I saw a white waxy object on the handkerchief, and I picked it out and was about to throw it away.

Li Xingxing quickly stopped her: "Wait!"

Ambergris!

And it's the ultimate ambergris.

Li Xingxing stretched out his hand and held it in the palm of his hand. It was the size of a fist and exuded a unique fragrance.

"Your husband is unusual. He just picks good things for you." It's Mele beads and ambergris. Just this small piece of ambergris has been floating in the sea for at least a hundred years, and all impurities have been washed away. When it comes out, it will turn from black gray to white.

The middle-aged woman was surprised: "This thing, is it worth money?"

Li Xingxing nodded heavily, and said to her: "This is ambergris, which is very expensive and rare. Like orange pearls, it is very valuable. Would you like to exchange it with me? I will give you some food stamps and a remittance voucher." .If you don’t know how to use overseas remittance coupons, you can exchange them with people with good conditions for food stamps, oil stamps, cloth stamps, and they will be very happy.”
