Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife

Feng Qingxue was stunned and said hurriedly: "You guests from our country, Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant will not check your work ID before entertaining you, just like you entering the Friendship Store."

Although it is an era of planned economy, foreign guests and overseas Chinese are given certain preferential treatment.

Isn’t that what this Moscow restaurant is all about?

When the money remitted from abroad is converted into RMB, the bank will issue a certain amount of overseas remittance coupons according to the amount. With the overseas remittance coupons, you can buy a lot of rice, flour, grain, oil, meat, eggs and imported goods that are in short supply outside the planned economy.

Feng Qingxue was not sure whether this was the case for foreign guests coming to China, and it was hard to ask in detail.

However, she knew that the Friendship Store was established for foreign guests, overseas Chinese, and compatriots from Hong Kong and Macao. It had a dazzling array of products that were not even available in department stores.

"Overseas remittance coupons? This one?" Christine took out a thick stack of overseas remittance coupons issued by the capital from her bag. "When we came here, my father told me to go to the bank to exchange francs and euros for RMB, and they exchanged it for me. After paying RMB, he gave me many more tickets, and my father said that I could use the tickets and money to buy things at the Friendship Store.”

Feng Qingxue nodded slightly, "Overseas remittance coupons are very useful."

Kristine blinked her blue eyes and remembered that her father said that she could use this as a gift, and it was a very good gift and very popular, so she found her overseas remittance coupon after returning to her residence.

After looking at the number of remittance coupons she found, Kristen felt a little overwhelmed.

"Helen, can you give me some of your overseas remittance coupons?" Christine's head stuck into her good friend's room.

Edward was in Helen's room. She didn't have to look for him anymore. A bright smile appeared on her face involuntarily, "And you, Edward, we don't need to buy too many things. If you can't use them all, please." Share some with me and give it to my friends as gifts. Of course, if you don’t have enough, I’ll go to the bank and exchange it for RMB and then pay it back to you.”

"Is your friend the beautiful lady you met in the restaurant today?"

Seeing Kristine nodding, Edward said, "I exchanged a lot of RMB, and then got a remittance certificate equal to the amount of RMB. It is valid for one year, and we will leave in a month. There is no way to use it all. I I don’t think my parents are willing to use mine. It’s really nice that you gave it to your friend as a gift. It helped me solve a big problem. But I can only give you part of it because I need to go back to my country. Buy some handicrafts from the Friendship Store and take them back.”

Helen fiddled with her wavy golden-brown hair and said, "The prices in China are really too low. I exchanged more than 10,000 yuan in RMB, and I feel like I can't spend it all. The same goes for overseas remittance coupons, Christine, If you need it, just take it! Just leave enough for me, just like Edward."

Kristine hugged them and smiled even brighter, "Thank you, my dear friends, meeting you is really the greatest luck in my life."

"If we don't give it to you, you will definitely say, 'I'm so pitiful, I don't have a good friend.'" Helen looked at her sideways.

Kristen smiled, neither admitting nor denying.

Edward asked: "Christine, is that beautiful and elegant lady the person you are looking for? Your attitude is so enthusiastic, which makes me feel incredible."
