Chapter 909: Alien Beads
The bag is indeed full of defective products.
But Lu Miao found a treasure in a large bag of irregular and defective round beads.
Abnormal Pearl Baroque!
Most of the Baroque pearls mixed in are not only large in size, but also have good luster.
Just because of its strange shape and slightly weird appearance, it was sold as defective products in an era when awareness was low.
Lu Miao picked up Baroque pearls.
Seeing that the surface of some pearls was foggy, she asked the pearl farmer:
“Have these been cleaned?”
The black-skinned man said:
< br>
"It's all washed. I washed it several times before prying it out of the clam. If you don't believe it, you can't smell it even if you smell it."
Lu Miao smiled lightly and said "Hmm" and continued to pick it up. Put more special-shaped pearls into the scale pan.
Wash pearls only with water.
To show perfect luster and brightness, citric acid must be used...
Knowing that these pearls have not been fully cleaned, Lu Miao no longer hesitates.
I picked out all the special-shaped pearls I could find in the bag.
Seeing her like this, the dark-skinned man couldn't help but remind him with his conscience:
"Girl, that's not how you choose pearls. If you like it, just look at the round ones in the bag next to it. Zhu, I can give you a cheaper price... this kind The weird ones are all defective and useless."
Lu Miao smiled and said:
"It's okay, I've liked weird things like this since I was a child. That's all. Weigh it for me.”
The dark-skinned man had no choice but to nod:
"Hey..."
The scale was lifted up, one weighed two kilograms and four taels, and the scale beam was still raised high.
“Girl, for thirty yuan, I’ll count you two pounds.”
The black-skinned man put down the scale and not only wiped out the weight of the two pounds.
When he dug out the crumpled plastic bag to load Lu Miao's things, he also grabbed a handful of millet beads that sold for 60 yuan a pound and put them into the bag.
It can be seen that he is a very honest person.
I didn’t say anything after giving him something. If Lu Miao hadn’t happened to see it, I wouldn’t have known about it.
Lu Miao saw this and took the initiative to chat while paying. He learned that this dark-skinned man came from Taihu, Wuxi.
The pearls sold are harvested from the clam ponds raised by the local economy.
There are many foreign investors during the Canton Fair, so I originally wanted to take advantage of the Canton Fair to try my luck and see if any foreigners would receive goods.
However, during the exhibition, Guangzhou was under control, making it difficult to get out of the entire city and difficult to enter.
There are many and complicated things at home, and the dark-skinned man does not dare to gamble.
I hurried over just before the exhibition ended, wanting to try it again before the foreign investors had completely left.
I used to set up a stall on the roadside, and some foreigners came to see it.
But because of the language barrier, I couldn’t sell anything.
Later, some kind-hearted locals passed by and asked to take a look at the market, and then the black-skinned man came to this area.
The pearls in the other bags are indeed of good quality, but Lu Miao is helpless.
Her two thousand yuan has long since been spent on the big shopping spree.
But after hearing this dark-skinned man say that many people in their area have clam ponds, Lu Miao considered it and said:
"Uncle, your team should have a phone number, right? Do you think this will work? Leave me a phone number and address. If I need pearls later, I will contact you there."
"You If you can supply the goods, you can supply it to me. As for me, I will go to the postal service. It’s okay to send money or send the things over. If you’re not worried, it’ll depend on the situation. You can just come to me with the things. Do you think so?”
“Ah, ah?” How can this be done?”
The black-skinned man was stunned.
Pearls are not cheap things.
The black-skinned man was worried about mailing it through the post office. After thinking about it for a while, he said:
"If you want it in the future, I will send it to you, but you have to remit the toll to me in advance!"
>This thing seems so-so and not very reliable. But what if you can actually become an employer?
The dark-skinned man thought that if the girl was willing to remit traveling expenses to him first, he might as well give it a try.
If he was deceived, he didn't have to spend money on travel expenses, and he could find other buyers in the market after taking the things.
Lu Miao nodded, "Okay, no problem."
As he spoke, he handed the plastic bag containing the special-shaped beads to Ma Tou. She took the bag and rummaged through it. I took a pen and paper and started writing and drawing.
“This is my home address and phone number.”
Lu Miao handed the written list to the black man, then looked at him with the pen in hand and said:
"Uncle, tell me your address, I'll write it down."
"You, are you from Beijingbei? Why did you come here from Beijing?"
"Work Transfer, I came here on a temporary business trip, and I will go back in the next two days."
"Oh..."
The black-skinned man nodded, folded the paper and put it in his pocket. Taking advantage of the situation, he told me his detailed address:
"Wuxi Taihu, from the Sixth Production Team of the Red Flag Brigade..."
The black-skinned man reported the phone number, and then added:
"This phone number is the number of the brigade. Our production team is leaving. Some distance away, girl, if you call us over there , I guess it will take a while before I can call you back. Will this affect you?”
Lu Miao smiled and said:
“It’s okay, everyone understands, I turned out to be an educated youth who jumped in the queue. , I know a little bit about the situation in the countryside.”
After chatting with the dark-skinned man on the street for a while, someone came over to look at the pearls. Lu Miao waved her hand, put away her things, said hello and left.
On the way to the post office, Ma Tou asked:
“Sister-in-law, don’t the pearl sellers always say that these flat pearls are useless? Why are you buying so many?”
“It’s just useless to them, but to me...”
Lu Miao smiled:
"That's not necessarily the case."
Ma Tou was confused, but he could only nod:
"Well, okay..."
"Yeah. ”
……
Most of the goods are sent back to Beijing via the post office in batches.
Lu Miao only left a few things he bought for his family at the hotel, preparing to take them himself.
Coming out of the post office, she opened her handbag and asked Ma Tou to put the bag of pearls directly into it.
After that, I took Ma Tou back to the hotel for dinner again.
When it was almost time to leave the table after eating, Lu Miao collected all the dozens of dollars he had left and gave them to Ma Tou.
Ma Tou's mouth was stuffed, and he looked at her with unclear words:
"Sister-in-law, what is this?" That’s all that’s left.”
Lu Miao didn’t forget that Ma Tou had put down all his work for a while just to wait for her call.
How much does a worker earn per month?
This is dozens of dollars, how can you think that the number of pockmarks is too little?
But things came to an end. Ma Tou shook his head and pushed the money to Lu Miao. He swallowed the steak and said:
"Sister-in-law, I won't bullshit you, tell the truth. , I would like to point my finger at your factory in the future. I’ve only done so many things now, so I can eat and get them all at the same time. Who am I?”
“I know”
Lu Miao nodded. Re-exit:
"Well then, don't you still have your grandma at home? The main reason I came here this time is because of my work transfer. I have a tight schedule and I have to go back tomorrow. I can't make it in time to visit her old man. You can use this money to buy something for me. Just treat it as a gift. My share of visiting."
"This..."
Ma Tou hesitated.
Lu Miao showed her usual decisive attitude at work:
"Stop this and that. This is my style of doing things. If you refuse again, I will be really unhappy."< br>
"Okay then! Sister-in-law, I'd rather be respectful than obey your orders!"
"Yes."
