I was the queen of the sea in the 80s

Chapter 34 Shopping
All of Jiang Zhenzhen's expressions fell into the eyes of the old man with white beard. He liked these pearls very much and wanted to accept them sincerely, so he added: "You were brought by Ah Xiangpo, I will definitely give it to you." You are bidding the highest price. You can go out and inquire, other pawnshops will definitely not bid higher than me."

A Xiangpo also said: "Girl, don't worry, he won't cheat you."

"Okay, then I'll take it." Jiang Zhenzhen is also a happy person. Since the white-bearded old man said so, she will believe him once. Anyway, there are still many pearls in the space. She can go to other pawnshops to inquire later. If it was determined that this old man with white beard had cheated her, then she would not sell the remaining pearls to him.

Besides, the monk can't run away from the temple if he can run away. If he is really cheated, then she will come over and smash his shop.

"It's right to be with me." The white-bearded old man put away the pearls with a smile, looked through them fondly, and even found a clean silk cloth to wipe the surface of the pearls. Then he asked, "Cash or cash?" Cheque?"

A total of 1 yuan, which is equivalent to almost four months' wages for an employee in Xingang, is also a large sum of money.

"Cash." Jiang Zhenzhen doesn't have a Xingang account, so naturally she doesn't want to deal with banks.

The maximum face value of banknotes here in Xingang is 1000 yuan, and 1 yuan is twelve banknotes.Jiang Zhenzhen was stunned when she saw such a large denomination of banknotes. You must know that in this period, the largest denomination of banknotes on the mainland is only 1000 yuan, and [-] Hong Kong dollars are actually issued here!
Such a large denomination is not very convenient to spend.After thinking about it, Jiang Zhenzhen said: "The 2000 yuan, can you exchange it for twenty one-hundred pieces for me?"

Of course, the white-bearded old man would not disagree. He took the two banknotes, counted out twenty one-hundred-yuan banknotes from the drawer behind the counter, and handed them to Jiang Zhenzhen.

Jiang Zhenzhen did not leave immediately, but asked the old man with white beard: "If it is that kind of wild pearl that is round and almost flawless, how much is it worth?"

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

We must know that the average price of houses in Xingang during this period has almost reached 1000 yuan per square foot, and if one square foot is converted into a square meter, it is almost 0.1 square meters.That is to say, the house price in Xingang during this period has risen to 1 yuan per square meter!And a house needs at least 30 square meters, which is [-] yuan.

If 30 Hong Kong dollars are converted into Chinese currency, it will cost more than 20 yuan. In this era when a household with 1 yuan is called a ten-thousand-dollar household or a wealthy family, more than 20 yuan is a huge sum for Chinese people. huge sum of money.

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

Jiang Zhenzhen was a little agitated, but she didn't dare to show it, she could only tightly choke her palms, using the pain to remind herself to be calm.

The white-bearded old man continued: "If there are more than 50 wild pearls of uniform shape and size, put them into necklaces and send them to the auction, it will be no problem to fetch tens of millions."

Jiang Zhenzhen was speechless, she thought of her white butterfly shell ranch, and wondered if those white butterfly shells could produce such a necklace.

Then she clicked her tongue lightly, shook her head, and quickly put this unrealistic fantasy behind her.

After pawning the pearls, Jiang Zhenzhen and Axiangpo separated. Before they left, Axiangpo warmly invited Jiang Zhenzhen to her home as a guest, but Jiang Zhenzhen refused. Afterwards, Axiangpo told Jiang Zhenzhen the address of her home, so that She comes to the house to play when she is free.

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

After saying goodbye to Ah Xiangpo, Jiang Zhenzhen went to nearby supermarkets and wholesale markets to buy some daily necessities.

What the family lacks most now is rice, flour, and oil. She plans to buy more, but in order not to arouse suspicion, she goes to many shops, and each one only buys a bag of rice, a bag of noodles, and a barrel of oil.Even so, those sellers were dumbfounded when they saw Jiang Zhenzhen, a little girl, carrying more than 100 kilograms of things at once.

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

In addition to the most basic rice noodle oil, Jiang Zhenzhen also bought a lot of meat. Chicken, pork, beef, and mutton are rare on the island.As for what kind of reasons should be made up at that time, Jiang Zhenzhen thought, let's talk about it at that time, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain.

After buying food and drink, Jiang Zhenzhen went to the clothing store to pick out two new clothes for Zhou Haihua and her nephew and niece. The two children had never worn new clothes when they grew up. They were all Jiang Zhenzhen or other brothers and sisters. For old clothes, Zhou Haihua hasn't bought a new one for five or six years.

Xingang is a place to catch up with fashion trends. Fortunately, Jiang Zhenzhen's province is next to Xingang. With the advent of reform and opening up, Xingang's fashionable wind has gradually blown to the ancient land that has been closed for a long time.Compared with the most basic style of Xingang, it can also be worn out on Moon Island.

The clothes Jiang Zhenzhen bought for herself were more fashionable. She planned to wear this kind of fashionable clothes when she came to Hong Kong in the future.

After buying these daily necessities, Jiang Zhenzhen considered that she would have to spend money when she returned home. Hong Kong dollars would definitely not be able to be used at home, and she had to exchange them for Chinese dollars. I don't know if there is an exchange channel, so Jiang Zhenzhen decided to buy some products that are scarce in the mainland, such as cosmetics, skin care products, tobacco, alcohol, and watches, Walkmans, etc., and then find someone to sell them in the mainland, and you can get a lot in exchange Money, and maybe some contacts in exchange.

The income in Xingang is high, and the prices are also high. The 1 yuan exchanged for four pearls is not much left after shopping.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.
