When Xue Ming returned home, he saw two uninvited guests at his door, one was Zhao Molong and the other was Li Chuanying.

"Xiao Mingzi, come home with me." Zhao Molong couldn't help but pulled Xue Ming home, and Li Chuanying followed him without saying a word.

Xue Ming was not surprised that they appeared together. Zhao Molong and Li Shanhe were close friends and of course he knew Li Chuanying.

The three of them came to the Zhao family's hut. Zhao Molong closed the door and bolted it. He took out the small wooden box from his arms and put it in Xue Ming's hand. "I'll give you this pearl. You can return the IOU to Xiaoying."

Xue Ming opened the box and took out the Australian South Sea pearl and observed it carefully. The silver-gray jewelry has a natural texture, giving people a low-key luxury feeling.

Pearl is an ancient organic gemstone, mainly produced in the bodies of molluscs such as pearl oysters and mother-of-pearl. The naturally formed pearls are priceless.

Li Chuanying whispered, "The South Sea Pearl was left to my grandfather by my great-grandmother. My grandfather entrusted Grandpa Zhao to exchange it for your bear bile."

"The day before yesterday, I went to the apiary to find Lao Li. He gave me pearls and asked me to exchange them with you for bear bile. I didn't expect that you had already given the bear bile to Xiaoying. You are a sharp-tongued kid." Zhao Molong endured this. Couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Old man, you are wrong. I am notoriously hard-hearted." Xue Ming stared at Li Chuanying, "Pearls should be worth more than bear bile. Don't your grandfather regret it?"

Li Chuanying shook his head. His grandfather was almost beaten to death for protecting the South Sea Pearl. It is no exaggeration to say that this South Sea Pearl was his lifeblood.

Although the state has set up a gold and silver jewelry repurchase business in banks in order to increase its gold and silver reserves, Li Shanhe did not dare to sell pearls in the bank for fear of causing trouble.

Li Chuanying tore up the IOU and threw it into the stove, "I don't know if grandpa will regret it. I certainly don't regret it. Money and silver are not as important as grandpa's life."

"What you say makes sense." Xue Ming put the pearl in his pocket, "I'm going to the town to do some errands. Let's talk when we have time."

"It's more than twenty miles from here to the town. You can take Xiaoying to the town." Zhao Molong pointed to the bicycle in the yard.

Xue Ming nodded in agreement, first went to the brigade to get a letter of introduction, and then drove Li Chuanying back to Guangming Town.

Li Chuanying is very thin but it does not affect the speed of riding a bicycle. The twenty-mile journey took less than an hour.

Li Chuanying got off the car outside the Guangming Town Bee Farm, straightened her clothes and raised her head to look at Xue Ming, "Yesterday...what did you do to me yesterday when I was unconscious?"

"What do you want me to do to you?" Xue Ming was not in the mood to talk about these boring topics, so he rode his bicycle straight to the county post and telecommunications office, leaving her alone and confused.

The county post and telecommunications office's business is to handle mail and telegrams. Xue Ming found a deserted place to put his bicycle into the space, and then took a frame truck from the space to pull it to the post and telecommunications office.

Showing Yamada Kirie's reply and letter of introduction and explaining his intention, the staff immediately notified his superiors, and soon four leaders in Lenin uniforms came to receive him.

After reading the letter of introduction and reply, they took Xue Ming into a warehouse and came to a pile of white bags.There are Chinese and Japanese characters on the bag, and Xue Ming only knows Urea Co., Ltd.

Ma Xingbang, deputy director of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau, pointed to the urea bag and asked, "What is urea? Is Co., Ltd. a Japanese gang? I heard that Japan is full of gangs?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Xue Nong. A lesbian bent down and touched the urea bag, "What kind of fabric is this? It feels very comfortable. Can it be made into clothes?"

These words directly confused Xue Mingqian. As expected, the wisdom of the working people is infinite, and they want to make the best use of everything.

"Comrade Linglong is right. This kind of bag feels soft and can be used to make clothes." Ma Xingbang's eyes flashed.

"It should be possible to make clothes." Xue Ming thought carefully and answered their questions seriously, "Urea is chemical fertilizer, and Co., Ltd. means factory in Japan."

The air suddenly became quiet, and all four leaders were shocked. A Japanese friend actually mailed one thousand kilograms of fertilizer from Japan. How much is the postage?

"We often meet people who mail peanut oil from Hong Kong, but this is the first time we meet people who mail fertilizer from Japan. You two have a good relationship," Qiu Linglong said with a smile.

"We are friends." Xue Ming believed that he and Yamada Kirie were not friends but partners. He didn't know if the science fiction novel "The Sinking of Japan" had been published in Japan.

Ma Xingbang lit a cigarette and said, "Comrade Xue Ming, can you open a bag to open your eyes? I think everyone is curious about what fertilizer looks like."

Everyone nodded, and Qiu Linglong's eyes shone, "I heard that Big Brother of the Soviet Union is helping us build a fertilizer plant. Comrade Xiao Xue asked us to see what fertilizer looks like."

At this moment, Xue Ming was too embarrassed to refuse. He squatted down and slowly opened a bag of urea. The bag was filled with small white spherical solid particles, which looked very much like the seasoning Sichuan peppercorns.

Everyone grabbed a handful and put it in their hands and stared at it. They looked at it and couldn't find any clues. Someone actually pinched one and stuffed it into his mouth to try it and asked what it was.

"No." Xue Ming hurriedly grabbed his wrist, "It's poisonous. Urea is a nutrient for crops, but it's harmful to people."

The leader who wanted to eat fertilizer smiled awkwardly, and Ma Xingbang frowned, "Is this little Japan teasing you on purpose? I think this thing looks like a lump of lime."

"Don't tell me that they are indeed similar." The leader who wanted to eat fertilizer answered with a smile, and laughter also sounded in the warehouse.

Xue Ming did not laugh. In the [-]s, when large quantities of urea were imported from Japan, the farmers did make a lot of jokes.

At that time, no one who had seen urea dared to use it easily for fear that the urea would damage their beloved crops. Most of the urea distributed in the commune was buried on the spot.

However, there is always the first person to eat crabs. The production team that used urea had good crops. People saw the gratifying results and naturally accepted new things.

"Comrade Xiao Xue sold me some bags, and I will make a pair of pants for my child." Qiu Linglong is still thinking about using urea bags to make clothes. She is indeed a thoughtful woman.

"Comrade Qiu, please leave me an address and I will send it to you when I free up the bag." Xue Ming took out paper and pen to prepare notes.

The beaming Qiu Linglong immediately reported her address. Ma Xingbang reached out and touched the inside of the urea bag. His eyes lit up and he immediately said, "Xiao Xue, please remember my home address and give me three of them when the time comes."

The other two leaders also hurriedly bent down to touch the urea bag. They were shocked when they touched it. They felt that the quality and texture of the bag were better than cotton.

"I want two. Comrade Xue, please take note of my address."

"I want two too. The cloth bags used to carry things when I was young are actually better than cotton. Is there any reason for this?"

Xue Ming was stunned by them. The urea has not been used yet, but all 10 urea bags have been ordered. Is there any justice?

" Leaders, please don't worry. I will send urea bags as soon as my vegetable garden uses up the fertilizer. But I want to buy a sewing machine, but I don't have enough industrial tickets." Xue Ming prepared to give his sister a surprise.
