Chapter 1685 Teacher and Student Reunion 3

There are always many topics to talk about between female comrades, and even two people who have never met before may hit it off at first sight.

When Mrs. Lei was weighing the dried goods in a cloth bag, Sister Liu said to Feng Qingxue: "Sister Qingxue, if you don't like the food in the canteen, just buy your own vegetables and let the chef cook for you. You just need to give some oil tickets for processing fees. My yellow croaker is very fresh. In addition to yellow croaker, there are also sea bass and hairtail, which are hard to eat in your northern part."

Feng Qingxue's heart moved. Can it be done this way?

Seeing that she was a little moved, Sister Liu continued to promote the seafood she sold.

"Sister Liu, forget it today. I have something to do later. I will see if I can borrow cooking utensils. If I can, I will buy fish tomorrow." Feng Qingxue was thinking about the purchase of pearls, and she had no intention of going to the canteen to find the chef to help cook.

Sister Liu gave up.

After buying the seafood she liked, Feng Qingxue bought some fruits, cakes and candies as gifts for visiting Stationmaster Gu.

The old squad leader bought them without her noticing. After seeing them, he kept saying, "Why buy these? Why buy these? We are going to the purchasing station, not the stationmaster Gu's house. Besides, even if we go to the stationmaster Gu's house, we don't need to buy anything."

"It's just a little thought, old squad leader."

The old squad leader said helplessly, "You are too polite."

The things have been bought, and it is unrealistic to return them, so she can only take them to the purchasing station.

The country has a unified purchase and marketing policy. The fruits, vegetables and crops of the rural people are generally sold to the supply and marketing cooperatives. There are purchasing stations in the city to purchase all kinds of items. The materials collected by the supply and marketing cooperatives are generally sent to the non-staple food stations and purchasing stations, and then distributed to various stores. In large cities such as the capital Shanghai, there are also special cultural relics stores to purchase antiques.

After listening to the purpose of the old squad leader and Feng Qingxue, Stationmaster Gu pondered for a moment and said, "There is nothing wrong with this, but now is not the pearl-collecting season. Last autumn, Yue State harassed the border recklessly, and not many pearls were collected. Most of them were exported. Usually, the new pearls are sent by fishermen and cooks."

"Old Gu, just take out as many as you have!"

Stationmaster Gu listened to the old squad leader and smiled, "Okay, follow me."

The purchasing station has a room and cabinet dedicated to pearls. Stationmaster Gu unlocked the lock and took out several boxes. The pearls inside were classified according to color, shape, and size, which were clear at a glance.

"These are Hepu pearls for export. They are not artificially cultivated and the quantity is small." Stationmaster Gu pointed to the best pearls.

Each pearl is jade-smooth and round, crystal clear, with a diameter of more than eight millimeters and very few flaws.

Feng Qingxue liked it very much and asked about the price. It was sold by pound, and one pound was only fifty or sixty yuan. Stationmaster Gu charged her fifty yuan, and the second-rate ones were ten or twenty yuan, and irregular-shaped pearls were a few yuan per pound. It was really cheap.

No wonder the old squad leader gave her half a bottle of pearls as soon as he said so.

Feng Qingxue stared at the boxes of high-quality pearls, including black pearls, white pearls, pink pearls and gold pearls. The sun shone obliquely into the window, transforming into a five-color halo, which was very gorgeous.

"Stationmaster Gu, please weigh them and calculate the account. I want them all."

Hearing Feng Qingxue's words, the old squad leader opened his mouth wide.

Stationmaster Gu shook his head and said, "No, I can only give you half at most. We still have to export them for foreign exchange!"

"Half is half." Too much is as bad as too little. Half of the top-quality pearls exceeded Feng Qingxue's psychological expectations. She thought she could only get 30% at most. After all, the purchasing station is a state-owned unit, and foreign exchange is particularly important.

. . The price of pearls is absurd, don't check it, but in the 1980s, the price of top-grade Hetian jade seed material was only 100 yuan per kilogram
