Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain

The hunting team members and a few close friends and acquaintances would gather at Yue Feng’s new home to watch TV when they had nothing to do.

Everyone has an extremely novel attitude towards this thing. No matter what is on TV, everyone finds it extremely curious.

In comparison, Yue Feng is a bit indifferent to things like TV. He can watch it for a while when he's bored, and he doesn't miss it when he has to go out for something. He has no sense of dependence on it at all.

As the wedding is approaching, there are still many trivial things to prepare.

The problem with home appliances has been solved, but there are still some things that need to be used on the wedding day that have not been prepared yet.

Wang Xiaona made a list, then she and Yue Feng picked a sunny day, drove out on a tractor, and headed straight for Tiecheng city.

When an unmarried couple goes out together to go shopping in the city, the feeling is a little different from going out with someone else.

The couple started the tractor after breakfast in the morning and headed straight to the department store in Tiecheng City.

Not to mention the trivialities on the road, at 9:45 in the morning, Yue Feng took Wang Xiaona to their first destination, Tiecheng Department Store.

As this place is far away, Yue Feng has only been here once or twice, but with money and tickets in his pocket, Yue Feng is very confident.

As the saying goes, money is a man's courage, which is very true.

With Yue Feng's current wealth, he can definitely afford anything he and Wang Xiaona like in the department store, which can be considered as initial financial freedom at this stage.

Arriving at the entrance of the department store, Yue Feng turned off the tractor and put the crank behind his waist: "Let's go in and take a look!"

"Is it okay to park the tractor on the side of the road?" Wang Xiaona asked a little worriedly.

"Don't worry, it's okay! There are security guards at the entrance of the department store. I can just go over and say hello to them!"

"profound!"

Wang Xiaona responded, took Yue Feng's hand, and the couple walked towards the door.

When I got closer, I saw two middle-aged security guards in their forties sitting in a sheltered position inside the door.

Yue Feng was a very outgoing guy. He took out an unopened box of Ginseng brand cigarettes from his pocket and walked over.

"Uncles, our tractor is parked outside the door. Please keep an eye on it. My wife and I are here to buy some things for our wedding! Take these cigarettes!"

After saying this, Yue Feng handed over the whole box of cigarettes.

These two security guards have been watching over the public security near the main gate all year round. They have seen people who are generous, but this is the first time they have seen someone like Yue Feng, who gave a whole box of cigarettes to someone without saying anything.

You know, these Ginseng brand cigarettes with a mouthpiece are not cheap. The price of a box has risen to one yuan and ten cents!

"Don't worry, little brother! Feel free to go in and have a look. We will definitely keep an eye on your car so it won't get lost!"

"Thank you for your trouble!"

After a few polite words, the problem of looking at cars was solved. Yue Feng put his arm around Wang Xiaona and walked straight into the department store.

I lifted the curtain and walked inside, a wave of hot air hit me in the face. The temperature inside the building was at least 20 degrees Celsius.

As he walked, Yue Feng looked around.

Whatever one says, having been accustomed to the prosperous shopping malls in the days of abundant material resources, Yue Feng is obviously not very impressed by today's department stores.

The food and daily necessities area is right at the entrance.

After walking a few steps, the most eye-catching place is the candy display counter.

Behind the glass cabinet, there are many kinds of candies wrapped in colorful candy wrappers.

White Rabbit milk candy, sorghum candy, shrimp crisps, bulk orange-flavored fruit candies, Little Naughty premium fruit hard candies, and in a counter at the very edge, there are also rare items such as the less common chocolate with liquor filling.

"We're getting married, and we haven't weighed the wedding candy yet! Should we buy some more to take back?"

Yue Feng asked, pointing his chin at the candy counter not far away.

"Yes, but we need to weigh out some wedding candy! You don't have to buy the best ones, just some loose hard candy will do!"

Wang Xiaona didn't even look at the slightly more expensive White Rabbit candies, but pointed to a cheap bulk candy next to it.

Yue Feng grinned: "How much of this stuff can you eat in a hurry? Why buy cheap ones at once? Listen to me, let's buy something good! Many friends will come on the wedding day, and it will be embarrassing if the quality is low!"

While speaking, Yue Feng had already walked to the counter with his wife.

"Sister, please weigh out some White Rabbit milk candies for me! And weigh out some for that little rascal, too. I also want some sorghum malt and shrimp crisps!" Yue Feng said politely.

The salesperson behind the counter was already ready when she heard Yue Feng talking to his wife. Working in a department store, she is very perceptive.

If the person who comes in looks uneasy and has a timid look in his eyes, he is probably not a big business person and the salesperson generally won't bother with him.

But Yue Feng was different. He stood in front of him. Although he was not very old, his words were filled with an unpretentious calmness.

"How many kilograms of each of these kinds of sugar do you mention?"

Yue Feng had no idea how much candy it was, so he took out a stack of bills from his pocket.

"Look, how much sugar can be weighed from these receipts? Take the more expensive ones first!"

When the salesperson saw the receipt with the stamp of the Military Control Commission, he immediately became more respectful.

"There are a total of 21 kilograms of sugar tickets. White Rabbit is limited to 5 kilograms per person. Can the rest be evenly distributed?"

Yue Feng grinned and said amiably, "No, there are only two of us. Please be flexible and weigh 10 kilograms of White Rabbit! The rest can be evenly distributed!"

"Okay! I'll take care of the rest!"

"Okay! Thanks for your help!"

Soon, the salesperson was seen taking out large sheets of wrapping paper and getting busy.

Weighed, packed and tied with ropes on site.

In a short while, a pile of packaged candies was piled up in front of the counter.

It was the first time that Wang Xiaona saw Yue Feng taking her shopping in this way. She glanced at the price tag of the White Rabbit candy calmly and whispered in Yue Feng's ear, "White Rabbit candy is so expensive, let's just buy less!"

"This is just a drop in the bucket. It's not expensive. What's really expensive is this! Big sister, can you give me a ticket for a pound of chocolate with wine filling?"

As Yue Feng was speaking, he pulled his wife to the counter next to him and pointed at the chocolate with wine filling that was priced at 26 yuan per pound.

White Rabbit milk candy is expensive, at only nine yuan per pound, while this chocolate costs three times as much as the milk candy.

Wang Xiaona couldn't help but stick out her cute little tongue: "It's too expensive, so let's not take this one?"

"Just buy some to try. There's only a few per pound! Listen to me and buy!"

Yue Feng, who is usually very low-key, is like a nouveau riche at this moment. He makes the decision with a wave of his hand.

The candies alone were packed into six packages of different sizes, tied with ropes and able to be carried with one hand.

"Beauty, we want to buy something else. I'll pay for the candy first and put it over here on the counter. Could you please watch it for a while and take it away when you come out?" Yue Feng asked politely.

"Okay, that's one hundred and thirty-one dollars and fifty cents!"

Yue Feng reached into his pocket and took out a thick stack of big unity bills, counted the face value and paid. "Excuse me, let's go around again!"

After paying the bill in a leisurely manner, Yue Feng took Wang Xiaona and continued to walk inside.

Inside the candy counter is the non-staple food area, where various daily condiments, Northeastern specialties such as frozen pears, sauerkraut and vermicelli are sorted into different categories.

There are dedicated people to take care of everything needed for the banquet, so Yue Feng doesn't need to worry about it, so he didn't buy anything here.

The young couple walked around the first floor and bought a few bags of peach cakes and preserved fruits. They had little use for anything else.

"These are all we have on the first floor. Let's go up to the second floor! Let's buy some clothes for my parents and your parents! We have ready-made clothes for sale here!"

"Let's go! Go up and take a look!"

Soon, Yue Feng took his wife upstairs.

The second floor mainly sells ready-made clothing, textiles, shoes and hats, etc. There are also some fabrics, such as printed cotton, Dacron, loose wool and so on.

At that time, there were only a few styles of ready-made clothes, and Zhongshan suits, military coats, and blue work clothes were relatively popular styles.

Yue Feng and Wang Xiaona discussed it and bought a decent Zhongshan suit for both fathers, and bought cloth and wool for their mother, younger sister, and brother-in-law Wang Mingyu.

Next up are the shoes.

Yue Feng couldn't forget the padded training shoes. Although he didn't find the military ones in the department store, he did find a substitute. He put on the padded high-top leather shoes with anti-wear iron soles on the back. He looked quite stylish when he walked in the aisle.

After a round of shopping, Yue Feng bought Wang Xiaona a knee-length woolen coat. When Wang Xiaona put it on, it showed off her figure and temperament.

At this moment, Yue Feng seemed like a domineering president. He would try out whatever he was interested in and buy it if he liked it. He acted like a man with a lot of money.

After a shopping spree, we bought a lot of big and small bags, and the two of us were a little overwhelmed.

I paid the bill, went downstairs, and picked up the candies and other snacks I had bought earlier. It seemed like nothing had happened yet, but the back bucket of the tractor was almost full.

I bought so many things, but the total cost was less than a thousand yuan. Money was really easy to spend back then.

After restarting the tractor, Wang Xiaona asked, "We have almost finished shopping. Shall we go home?"

Yue Feng grinned and shook his head: "It's not easy to come to Tiecheng, why are you in such a hurry to go back! Next stop, I'll take you to the Silver House!"

"Silver House? What's it for?"

"You'll know when it arrives!"

Yue Feng had come to the silver shop on Commercial Street before to order silver leg rings for gyrfalcon chicks, so he was not unfamiliar with the place.

Although the three golds are not as popular as in later generations, Yue Feng plans to buy a set of household jewelry for his wife since he is here.

Fifteen minutes later, Yue Feng drove a tractor to the door of the silver shop.

The guards here are more professional. There is even a small duty room at the door, and everyone inside carries guns.

Using the same old trick, Yue Feng used a pack of cigarettes to clear the way for the things in the tractor's bucket, and then he pulled Wang Xiaona into the jewelry store.

As you enter the door, you will see all kinds of silver jewelry, and further in, there are gold jewelry.

Yue Feng took Wang Xiaona and went straight to the counter.

"Pick out whichever style you like! Don't run around here. I'm going to the second floor!"

"Well, I'll wait for you here!"

After arranging things for his wife, Yue Feng came to the duty room on the side of the counter.

"Hello, I want to ask, is Master Jin here today? I have something small that I want to trouble him with. I am his customer and I have customized something in our silver shop before!"

Personnel on duty: "Yes, I'll take you upstairs!"

Soon, Yue Feng followed the staff to the second floor.

When he met the custom-made jewelry craftsman at the jewelry store again, the craftsman could no longer recognize Yue Feng.

"You are... Excuse my ignorance, we don't seem to know each other..." said Master Jin, who is over fifty years old, politely.

"Haha, you are a forgetful person. I once asked you to make a batch of anklets with stamps and numbers for me!"

"Oh, now I remember! It's you!! Something about the spring!"

"That's right. This time I came here to trouble you to see if you can help me set a pearl necklace!"

"Pearl necklace? What style? Do you want to prepare the materials yourself, or should I help you?"

"I brought it, just this one!"

The next second, Master Jin saw Yue Feng take out a huge oriental pearl wrapped in a handkerchief from his arms.

This is the biggest and best quality Dongzhu pearl that Yue Feng and Xiao Tao got when they went to the riverside to release hawks and catch swans in autumn.

After several months of settling, the texture and color of the pearl have undergone subtle changes. The color has become solid white, emitting a faint pearlescent luster. In the eyes of those who know the business, it is obviously top-quality goods at first glance.

"What kind of pearl is this?"

Master Jin has been dealing with jewelry and gold for most of his life, and he believes that he has a deep understanding of pearls. Whether they are freshwater pearls or sea pearls, whether they are produced domestically or imported, he has seen and handled some.

However, this is the first time that one like the one Yue Feng brought is so big and of such high quality that it can be seen to be extraordinary at a glance.

Yue Feng smiled calmly: "Haha, I got it by accident, so I'll just leave it alone! I'd like to trouble you to help me inlay a pearl necklace, preferably without drilling holes. Do you think you can do it?"

"Are you in a hurry?"

"Yes, we have to take it away today. We can't leave this thing out overnight!"

“Yes, as per your request, the necklace and pearls can be fixed using the wrapping method.

But I have a condition. Can you let me take a photo? I am well-informed, but this is the first time I have seen a treasure of this grade!"

Yue Feng shook his head without hesitation: "Forget about the photo. I won't hide it from you. This is an oriental pearl. I want to make a necklace for my fiancée!!"

When Master Jin heard these two words, his pupils trembled: "Dongzhu!! This legendary thing actually still exists in the world?"

Yue Feng nodded: "I just got it by chance, it's just luck! I have explained the situation to you, I hope you can keep it a secret for me!"

"Don't worry, I still have some professional ethics! It's my honor to be able to do the inlay work for such a treasure!"

"Hey, what are the available necklace styles? My wife is still downstairs, I'll help her pick one out!"

"It's fixed with a card holder. Nothing else will get in the way. When it's inlaid, just put it on and fasten it normally!"

"Okay, thank you for your help! Time is tight, I hope it can be done soon!"

"It should only take more than an hour. I'll try my best!"

"Okay! Thank you for your help!"

Master Jin looked at the Dongzhu in front of him again and again, and after confirming the size and texture and other details, he took a deep breath, put on his glasses, and entered the working state. (End of this chapter)
