Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife-Chapter 1685: Teacher and Student Reunion 1

After listening to Feng Qingxue, the old squad leader remembered her job.

She is a doctor, and of course a doctor knows the benefits of pearl powder.

Actually, freshwater pearls are nucleus-free and easy to grind into pearl powder, while sea pearls are difficult, because sea pearls belong to nucleated pearls. Feng Qingxue is simply giving herself a reason to acquire pearls.

Feng Qingxue looked at the old squad leader eagerly, making the old squad leader speak with vigor, "Alright, alright, when we get back to the island, I’ll find some for you. I’ve been a soldier here for over twenty years and know quite a few people, including the squad leaders of various cooking classes, fishermen who regularly go out to sea for fishing, staff involved in artificial sea pearl cultivation, and the head of the purchase station on the island. There’s no one I’m unfamiliar with. Pearls and handicrafts sold to the trade department all go through Director Gu."

"Thank you, old squad leader!" Feng Qingxue beamed, holding onto the canning jar without letting go.

The old squad leader continued cutting conch meat, "There’s a lot involved here. Private transactions may violate discipline, so I’ll directly take you to see Director Gu then. Director Gu is easy to talk to. If you say it’s for medicinal use, he’ll definitely give you some at the original price."

Feng Qingxue nodded repeatedly, "Then I’ll trouble the old squad leader."

Going through official channels is great; even if others know she has pearls, they can’t say anything.

By the end of January, the sub-chaser returned safely to the island.

The sub-chaser did not suffer any casualties in the sea battle that day, and because of the soldiers’ excellent performance, they received praise from the base. However, those things didn’t have much to do with Feng Qingxue.

She is a military doctor, not a soldier.

After a good night’s rest, the next morning, Feng Qingxue went to find the old squad leader.

When not going out to sea, the old squad leader continued cooking for everyone at the base. frёewebnoѵēl.com

The looming threat from the Yue Kingdom had not been completely lifted. The naval soldiers continued training on the island instead of resting until the next time they went out to sea, so naturally, the old squad leader continued leading the cooks to prepare meals for them.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" the old squad leader laughed nonstop.

Feng Qingxue nodded and said, "Of course, I want to take advantage of these couple of days off to buy some seafood and send it back home."

What’s more important is that she felt uneasy holding onto the old squad leader’s pearls and wanted to ask Director Gu to appraise the price before giving the money to the old squad leader, along with some additional compensation of things he might need, which she needed to ask around about.

"Buying seafood to send to your family? That’s great, it’s only right. Our seafood here is very good, hard to find in the north, and many dried goods can be shipped. You can go with us to the subsidiary food factory, buy in our kitchen class’s name, there are no limits, they wouldn’t dare mess things up inside, once you’ve got everything, pass by the purchase station, and I’ll take you to visit Director Gu."

That’s exactly what Feng Qingxue had in mind, slipping in right after breakfast and before the old squad leader took the cooks to buy groceries.

One company matches one cooking class, and they have to cook for over a hundred people. Generally, on the island’s base, the cooking class has to purchase rice, flour, grains, oil, vegetables, and fish, meat, and eggs according to the recipe every day.

Excluding grains, oil, and meat, seafood and vegetables don’t require any tickets, and there are tropical fruits!

Oranges were still in season, and Feng Qingxue quickly bought a basket, as well as a basket of coconuts.

Then, under the name of the cooking class, Feng Qingxue bought dried goods. The middle-aged woman selling the dried goods raised her brow and said, "Old Li Squad Leader, is this comrade new here? Haven’t seen her, and she doesn’t look like your cooking class member."

The old squad leader picked some shrimp skin, "A doctor seconded from the Capital Military District, surname Feng, enjoying treatment at a full battalion level."
