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

The soldiers nearby pulled up the lowered net, and everyone who was chatting quickly stepped forward to help, except Feng Qingxue and the old squad leader.

The old squad leader said to Feng Qingxue: "Since you are an old comrade, you will probably pay a visit when you return to the island. Let me tell you, Captain Du is a very good person, but his wife is not easy to get along with. Please be careful. ”

A question flashed in Feng Qingxue's heart, "Why?"

The old squad leader waved his hand, "It's not good to gossip behind people's backs. You'll know later. You choose a few beautiful conchs, and I won't fry them later."

There are many ways to prepare conch, including cold dressing, stir-frying, etc.

In order not to damage the conch shell, you have to use two methods: steaming and boiling to remove the conch meat first.

Feng Qingxue selected more than 20 conches with beautiful patterns. The old squad leader put them in a fresh water basin alone, added some salt, and let them spit out the sediment. Then they steamed them in a rice steamer for more than ten minutes and took them out. Remove the conch meat.

Feng Qingxue is currently free, so she helps in the kitchen.

"Hey! There are pearls in this conch!" As soon as the old squad leader finished speaking, one large, two small, and three pearls were cut out from the conch meat. They were all orange-red, shining with a warm and crystal luster.

Feng Qingxue looked over and her eyes lit up, "Meile Pearl!"

Melo pearls are a particularly expensive variety among pearls. They are very expensive and very rare. They cannot be cultivated artificially. The pearl yield rate is only one in a few thousand. Feng Qingxue has never seen Melo pearls in her past and present lives. But living in an era of advanced information, I have naturally seen relevant introductions on the Internet, and the orange-red Merlot beads in front of me are the most precious.

"What is Melezhu?" Not only the old squad leader was curious, but the two cooks were also curious.

Feng Qingxue explained: "It's a kind of pearl. I heard people say, don't you think this pearl is very beautiful?"

The old monitor laughed, "Do you like this thing?"

Feng Qingxue nodded, "Old squad leader, can you give me the pearls? I'll exchange them with you for what you need. My daughter likes these beads. I used to wear straw beads in necklaces for her to play with when she was in her hometown. "

The old squad leader handed it to her casually, "Take it if you like it, don't mention exchanging it with something."

"Really give it to me?" Feng Qingxue held three Melo beads. The largest one was very round, close to a perfect circle, with a diameter of about ten millimeters. The two smaller ones were smaller and oval-shaped. .

The old squad leader took out a can bottle from under the chopping board table and placed it on the table, "Na!"

There is half a bottle of pearls in the bottle, some are large, some are small, some are round, some are irregular, some are oval and egg-shaped, and the colors are also colorful, 50% are white, and the remaining 50% are black, gold, and pink.

Feng Qingxue's eyes widened, "Old monitor!"

"This thing can be exported." The old squad leader said, "When we work at sea, we sometimes encounter pearls. We often save them together and sell them to the trading department. Some fishermen do the same thing, and then export them. After several months of saving, We only saved half a bottle, and we won’t get much money from it, but we’re earning foreign exchange for the country, right? If you like it, you can pick some more and bring them to your daughter.”

Feng Qingxue swallowed her saliva and said, "Old squad leader, I want to purchase a batch of pearls. Can you help me get them?"

"Doctor Feng, what do you want to do? Your daughter likes it, so just pick something nice and take it away. Private acquisition is not a good idea."

"I want to use it to make pearl powder. Pearl powder is a precious medicinal material." Feng Qingxue said seriously, planning to collect the good pearls and use the irregular defective ones to make pearl powder and pearl paste.
