Chapter 345 Spent 5500 yuan(1/2)
The goods for sale in the Qiaohui store.
You can never see this in the department store building outside.
However, you need to use "Overseas Remittance Vouchers" to buy things in Qiaobiao stores.
The so-called overseas remittance vouchers are actually used by overseas Chinese when they return to their country to visit relatives, travel, or go on business trips.
At the customs, they need to exchange the foreign exchange they have with them into "overseas remittance coupons" dedicated to their status as overseas Chinese.
The reason why they cannot directly convert foreign exchange into our currency for use is because it was a protection mechanism for the domestic market at that time.
At that time, our prices were very low and supplies were scarce.
What kind of products should be produced each year, how much should be produced, and how much should be used are all planned.
If you encounter these rich people who have returned from outside, if you go to ordinary stores to buy things.
That might cause a serious shortage of certain supplies in a short period of time.
therefore,
These overseas Chinese who have returned from abroad can only use special overseas remittance coupons to buy things in specially designated stores.
Luo Xuan only had green paper on him, but no remittance papers.
But it doesn't matter. Usually in such a store, the salesperson has a set of calculation formulas.
You can directly calculate the green paper as the corresponding number of overseas remittance coupons.
In other words, Luo Xuan can use green paper to buy the products he wants at will.
But in the end, if you need change, the change given to you in the Qiaorebi store will not be cash.
It's this kind of overseas remittance voucher.
However, this will not be wasted.
After taking it to the door of the store, someone will naturally come up to exchange it with Luo Xuan.
After entering the Qiaohui store, Luo Xuan took Chen Xiaoduan around as if taking a leisurely stroll.
This store is really awesome!
The products inside are really diverse and dazzling.
Almost all products from friendly countries around the world can be found here.
What famous watches, high-end red wine, tequila, vodka, gin...
Cuban cigars, Algerian dates, and foreign cigarettes.
Pearl agate, jade, gold necklace, bracelet and diamond ring...
That's everything.
Even Chen Xiaoduan, who had always been very indifferent to the pursuit of material things, was dazzled by the sight.
But behind the veil, my mouth opened wide, and I was so surprised that I couldn't close my mouth for a long time...
Originally, the main purpose of my visit this time was to buy some jade..CoM
But Luo Xuan weighed several kilograms of candied dates first.
This stuff is so sweet that it hits your throat.
But precisely because of its extremely high sweetness, it can be used to replace white sugar and brown sugar.
Now, I finally have the opportunity to go into a store like this to buy things.
Although the price of the product is definitely not very beautiful, the good thing is that it does not require candy coupons!
Now,
If he didn't take this opportunity to store some of these things, when he needed sugar in the future, Luo Xuan would not be sure that he would be able to get a large number of sugar stamps at once.
One pound or two pounds of candy coupons may be easy for me.
But what's the use of that?
During the New Year and the holidays, if we make a sweet pork stuffed with sand to eat, then we shouldn’t put 3 or 2 kilograms of sugar on it?
Finished buying candied dates.
Luo Xuan conveniently bought a jade pendant made of gold and jade for Chen Xiaoduan.
He had promised her before that he would give Chen Xiaoduan certain compensation.
It is really not an easy task for someone as arrogant as her to accompany her to play the role of a big dog in the Middle East.
Now it is reasonable to take this opportunity to buy Chen Xiaoduan a small jade pendant.
The man wears Guanyin and the woman wears Buddha.
Therefore, the gift Luo Xuan chose for Chen Xiaoduan was a small Maitreya Buddha statue.
Considering that it should be as low-key as possible, when choosing the chain to wear this jade pendant.
Luo Xuan didn't pay specifically to buy it.
Instead, he asked the salesperson at the counter to thread an ordinary red silk thread, and then the salesperson helped string it together.
Since the consumption level during this period was not too high, the price level was not high either.
Even though this jade pendant has been beaten several times compared to the stores outside, it is equivalent to 117 yuan.
At this price, you can't even buy a 28-inch bicycle.
If it were left to future generations, such an exquisitely carved gold and jade pendant would have to be replaced by dozens of Phoenix brand bicycles?
therefore,
At different times, everyone's ledger has different algorithms.
There is no need to always make such intuitive comparisons, let alone worry too much.
Whichever mountain you go to, sing the song of that mountain, so that you can live happier.
"Sir, this is a white jade cup carved with dragon patterns. Although this vessel is said to be a modern product, it was made by a famous artist himself. It took three months to carefully create such a pair."
The salesperson behind the jade counter saw Luo Xuan's gaze and began to rest on the jade items placed in the glass cabinet.
He introduced to Luo Xuan enthusiastically, "This pair of Kowloon white jade cups are signed by a famous carver.
There are also appraisal certificates from my country’s jade and jade appraisal institutions.
If you look at the entire jade market, you will never find a second set."
Luo Xuan replied with a straight face, "Gulu, you can't spank a tiger. Do you think I'm stupid?"
I just need to use jade to recharge the space.
The greatest value of jade is actually not its texture, but its carving.
It is also a piece of jade, a work made by a famous master, and something carved by an apprentice with three knives.
Their value will be one in the sky and the other in the earth.
This is equivalent to a person who needs to go to the toilet but forgets to bring paper.
At this time, all he needs is a piece of rough toilet paper. Giving him a silk scarf is a waste of resources.
"Zhe... Are you tired?"
Luo Xuan pointed to a large piece of raw jade on an open shelf behind the glass cabinet and asked, "Ma Lei? Dao Lang?"
When the salesperson heard what Luo Xuan said, he came back to his senses!
It turns out that the person in front of me, Mr. Sha, can’t understand English, let alone Chinese.
Regarding relationships, I just introduced so many things to him, are they all playing tricks on others?
All said in vain...
In the end, this piece of white jade stone cost Luo Xuan 5,300 yuan!
In this period.
There are still a lot of white jade rough stones in the rivers in Hotan. In the 1980s, a piece of white jade weighing two or three tons was even discovered.
And in Lao Burma, the raw materials in the jade mines during this period were quite abundant.
therefore,
If you just buy rough stones, in fact, in this era, its price is not necessarily that expensive.

p; But whether it is expensive or not depends on different people.
Today, Luo Xuan and Chen Xiaoduan went in and shopped for less than half an hour, and finally bought a large pile of jade, a dozen dates, and a small jade pendant.
Just these three items alone cost nearly 5,500 yuan.
