Jinhuan's eyes lit up, "Master, please give me some advice. If you can make a batch of medicine with just one pound, I will get less criticism!"

"I recognize a few old guys, and they may still have pearls in their hands. If you can trust me, comrade, just wait for me to get off work and take them to find them!" The old man said slowly.

Nodded happily, "You can trust it! If I buy pearls, I have to thank you very much!"

"Don't be too happy too early. The stocks in those old guys may not be very good. They were pearl pickers before the founding of the People's Republic of China. They took off their hands after they were well-qualified and were only those defective products that would hit them!" The old man was still very serious.

Jinhuan waved his hands repeatedly, "Uncle, this is okay. The pearls used as medicine must be ground into powder anyway, and the shape and size do not affect the efficacy of the medicine! I just don't know how your friend will take action on those pearls?"

Some of the pearls that can be held in your hand for decades may be because of their poor quality, so they are difficult to take off. It may also be because they have the best treasures to keep.

If you have bad quality, you can sell it at a low price, but it is not easy to buy something that is regarded as a treasure with money.

"At this time, every family is short of food, so it is best to exchange food coupons for it. Local food coupons or national food coupons are fine!" the old man replied.

Jinhuan frowned and said, "If there is no food coupon, can you just use food? I went out this time and bought a little rice. I will first exchange this rice for your friend's pearls and the food gap. I will think of other ways."

"Yes, it's better to use food directly, so it's better to save the old guys from having old arms and legs. Let's go to the grain station to make a fuss!" The old man finally added a smile to his face.

In this year, it seems that the food is still the hardest hard currency!

There are most places in Hepu, and crops can reach three ripening a year. In theory, there is no shortage of food.

But when the guard heard that Jinhuan had food in his hands, his eyes became eager, which only showed one problem: the amount of food rations was not enough.

Twenty or thirty kilograms of food a month, but at first glance, it actually sounds like a lot.

But most of the twenty or thirty kilograms of grain supplied are coarse grains such as sorghum and corn.

In addition, people today generally lack oil and water, and most people eat three or two meters a meal, which is seventy percent full.

Families with good economic conditions will go to grain stations or black markets and buy bargaining grain at high prices.

If the family is not well-off, there is a way to replace the fine grains with coarse grains and add some dried vegetables and pickles, so that you can also fill your stomach.

I may not have anything else to enjoy, but I am not short of food. A thousand or eight hundred kilograms of food is a trivial matter for her.

However, in line with the principle of not showing off wealth and being cautious, Jinhuan asked to come to the door to see the goods first, negotiate the specific price before trading.

The old man also agreed and borrowed a cart from the warehouse of the breeding base in advance. It seems that he is full of confidence in this transaction.

Sitting in the guard room, waiting for the old man to get off work, I was bored, so I went to the state-owned hotel to settle for dinner, and after dinner, I went to the beach to stroll.

The breeding base is right by the sea. The beach is covered with gold at dusk, which is so beautiful that it is breathtaking. Jin Huan took out his camera and consumed a lot of film.

She still has a sense of time and contract spirit when she eats and plays. At six o'clock, she appeared at the door of the base on time.

The home of the old man’s old friends is not far from the breeding base and it takes less than ten minutes to walk.

According to the old man, after Jianguo could not pick pearls, his old friends also worked at the breeding base like him.

However, those old guys went out to sea to pick beads longer than him, and they had a lot of problems. As soon as they got older, they became worse and worse. So they retired early and let their children take over the job.

In fact, the old man's condition was not much better. His right foot was a little limp, and he walked and tiptoed, not very straightforward. It is said that when he went out to sea to pick beads, he was bitten by a shark and was not cured, so he was left with a disability.

However, the old man said that he was very lucky and went ashore in advance to do other work, otherwise he would be even more ill and in pain now.

Jinhuan felt that the old man said this because he was optimistic and understood the principle of being content and always being happy.

When he arrived at his first friend's house, Jin Huancai felt that what the uncle said was not false.

Compared to his old friend who was so sick that he could not get out of the ground, he was indeed lucky to be able to move freely in good health.

His old friend knew Jin Huan's purpose. Because he had an old man who had made a move, he took out a wooden box the size of a palm from the drawer next to the bed without much effort.

The boxes contain pearls of different sizes, colors and shapes. These are indeed not very good among Hepu South Pearls.

But compared to ordinary freshwater river clam pearls, the overall quality is more than a little better.

There are more than ten of them, which are round and round beads, but the particles are not too large and have a diameter of 5-6 mm.

There were 84 pearls in size, and the old man’s friend asked for 400 kilograms of rice and 50 kilograms of flour. The price was not high for Jinhuan, so he agreed.

Later, they arrived at the other three families one after another, and the three old pearl collectors were in similar condition. The torture of illness made them look much older than the doorman.

Picking beads without protection tools is an industry full of blood and tears.

Those super A-level antique pearls displayed in world-class museums and treasured in private safes are probably inevitable to avoid the smell of blood.

The old man from the last family took out a golden southern bead with a diameter of nearly three centimeters, and looked Jin Huan's eyes straight.

This is not the largest Nanzhu that Jinhuan has ever seen, but it is definitely the most perfect one that Jinhuan has ever seen.

The delicate and heavy utensils are round and jade, with large and solemn particles, magnificent and colorful, crystal clear and round, bright and gorgeous, and wonderful luster.

All the advantages of Hepu Nanzhu are fully reflected in this pearl.

In addition to 1,000 kilograms of rice, this pearl costs another 200 yuan. I am really excited about it.

You should know that such pearls can be called at the level of rare treasures.

Such a magnificent and beautiful pearl was placed in front of you, so that Jinhuan's authentic pearl control would feel like a deer was pounding.

But with the grains that the previous companies asked for, the total amount was nearly 2,500 kilograms of grain. Jinhuan was a little hesitant and was it too shocking.

What's more, the two sons of this family have no clear eyes at all, and they reveal greed and plot without any concealment.

This greed and calculation are not only aimed at 1,000 kilograms of rice and 200 yuan, but also about the fun of a huge sum of money and bulk food.

It’s not that Jinhuan is afraid of these two bad people with bad intentions. Jinhuan’s main concern is that he is afraid of provoking clan forces in the Lingnan region.

If both money and food are given, these two greedy people will make a splash and may cause greater disputes.

There is another more important reason, that these two sons do not look like filial.

Now there is this pearl hanging in front like a carrot, and it can barely move them.

If the money and food are obtained, can their old father with limited mobility be protected?

Don’t divide the money and food into pieces and no longer care about the elderly. Wouldn’t that be the sin of having fun?

So Jinhuan finally gave up, and she said apologetically:
Chapter completed!
