There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

Chapter 1233 Zhongying Street

In the guest house, a door was knocked lightly, and there was a response from inside. A short-haired girl in her twenties pushed the door open and entered with a stack of documents in her arms.

Sister Zhou, we are all busy.

As soon as Zhou Jiao heard this title, she knew that the little comrade wanted to go out to play. She usually called the leader or director, but only changed the honorific title when she met a personal request.

In fact, as long as they complete the tasks assigned by her on time, she also wants to spoil them. Who hasn't come from a young age? Back then, she was tired of being controlled by her superiors.

Where do you want to go this time?

Hey, everyone wants to go to Zhongying Street.

Zhou Jiao nodded slightly, Let Xiao Wei bring everyone's IDs to apply for the border defense permit.

Sister Zhou, you are so kind. On behalf of all the comrades, I thank you.

Zhou Jiao smiled and waved her hand to ask her to leave.

Hearing the suppressed cheers outside the door, Zhou Jiao smiled silently.

After staying here for a few days, after finishing my work, it was time to go out to relax, see the famous Zhongying Street, and buy some souvenirs on the way back to Beijing.

This place has a special geographical location adjacent to the port city, as well as the advantages of high quality and low prices in duty-free shops. It has attracted tourists from all over the country and has long been known as a shopping paradise.

It is said that everyone who comes here will try their best to go to Sha Tau Kok to take photos and buy things. It’s also said that if you can’t visit Zhongying Street, you will regret it for the rest of your life.

However, Zhou Jiao has really never been there in the past two lives. The little girls made trouble, which made her think: she had to take a photo to commemorate it while her appearance was still young.

So she found a time that was not a weekend. Accompanied by a local receptionist, Zhou Jiao led her soldiers to Sha Tau Kok early in the morning.

The famous Chung Ying Street in Sha Tau Kok is less than 250 meters long and less than 4 meters wide. It is just a narrow paved alley.

To be honest, it's not as good as the alley in her old house.

At a glance, the awnings of the shops on both sides of the street were almost connected together, and the alley was crowded with people. This was because she deliberately avoided weekends.

There are so many people!

I haven’t seen the shops inside yet, but there are law enforcement officers from both sides in different uniforms standing near the entrances of many shops. She probably understands that this is for each country to protect its own country.

Didn’t everyone say that one side of the alley belongs to the Chinese side and the other side belongs to the British side? Look, we should really let the remaining people of the Qing Dynasty remember the glory of their ancestors.

The accompanying staff member also has the surname Zhou, a tall and strong lesbian. At this moment, she saw Zhou Jiao looking at those people and whispered: It's time for shift change and lunch break. They will leave for a while, but any invoices that are not issued there will be confiscated as soon as they go out of customs.

Zhou Jiao smiled gratefully at her.

Before coming here, she had asked her subordinates to do their homework, and each of them had obtained two special border defense certificates. She also asked someone to exchange some Hong Kong dollars for everyone, so as not to discredit their unit.

However, the other party's kindness was appreciated.

People do not blame!

She never gives anyone a clue.

The lively shopping atmosphere always makes people excited, especially when walking, it is easy to get crowded and scattered. Zhou Jiao made an appointment with everyone to meet at a place.

As for whether they will take the opportunity to escape to the other side and never return? She was not worried. In addition to work ability, the prerequisite for her selection this time was a clear mind.

As for herself, she was alone, listening to the accents from all over the world, and looking at them one by one.

Just now I saw that the awnings of the shops on both sides were almost connected together. When you take a closer look, you can find that many places are different. We are indeed a big country, and our stores are wider than theirs.

Of course, the obvious ones are a few state-owned shops, but across the street, they are all privately owned. The shops are small, the goods are densely packed, and the prices are slightly cheaper.

But the stores on both sides are filled with Chinese and foreign goods, a dazzling array of products.

These products come from five continents, with a complete range of products. Many products are available on a first-come, first-served basis. In terms of price and packaging, products from the mainland cannot compete with them.

Walking to the opposite side, the store is small, but you can still walk inside. It seems that there will be no shortage of things. Taobao and other things are most suitable.

For daily necessities, there were many people there, but Zhou Jiao was not very interested. She passed by a gold shop and saw relatively few tourists. She took out a ball of fans from her bag.

Spreading it on the counter, the owner of the store immediately reached out and took it, Comrade, what do you want?

Zhou Jiao smiled quite fashionably upon hearing this, and changed her title accordingly. She nodded slightly and asked in Cantonese how much the double-sided embroidery was worth.

The shop owner looked at her nonchalantly and saw that she was no ordinary person. The price was not easy to sell. He solemnly stretched out his hand to signal her to wait a moment, I'll take a look first and then talk.

Zhou Jiao let him toss the fan carelessly. The other party had good taste and cautious movements, and he would not deal with her carelessly.

She herself first appreciated the styles of jewelry in the store, especially the styles for young girls. There are two new guests at home who often accompany her, and she has to bring some gifts for the children.

How about 5,000 Hong Kong dollars?

Zhou Jiao raised her head and smiled lightly when she heard this, Boss, not to mention that there are only a handful of embroiderers who can embroider this piece now. This is Jiangnan Su embroidery. When paired with a shelf, it is a handicraft.

As she said that, she pointed to the law enforcement officer outside, I can go to the other side if I can come in, but it's just too troublesome. Please give me a real price. I also want to buy jewelry.

After hearing what she said, the store owner was very straightforward and said, 6,000.

good.

Zhou Jiao decisively agreed.

Although double-sided embroidery is becoming more and more rare and expensive these days, she acquired this piece by chance, and compared to her own embroidery skills, she really doesn't like it.

The most important thing is that she has all kinds of coins in her hand, but she has few Hong Kong dollars, and the price given by others is neither high nor low.

The two parties decided on the price, and Zhou Jiao immediately clicked on a few gold bracelets and necklaces that she had just chosen, and also selected a few unique anklets.

result……

The shop owner wiped out the change, and she tipped her back one hundred Hong Kong dollars.

Zhou Jiao couldn't control herself as soon as she started quitting. Zhou Jiao laughed dumbly. Self-comfort was already much better than her mother, wasn't it?

When she was about to walk out of the store, she even smiled secretly. I led a smuggling investigation mission, but ended up hiding in space. Does this count as self-inflicted theft?

She really couldn't bear to have her things confiscated by the border.

No, she rushed to the pharmacy a few steps away.

What is the most valuable thing on her hands?

Northeastern mountain ginseng!

According to Wu Yi, her family, century-old wild ginseng has become priceless in foreign countries. Firstly, the country has begun to control exports. Secondly, it is still rare and expensive.

She didn't bully the shop owner, so she casually took a fifty-year-old wild ginseng from the turnip pile and exchanged it for a pile of bird's nests, fish maw, cordyceps, and American ginseng.

After finishing these two transactions, Zhou Jiao slowly walked to a store selling electrical appliances and bought Zhang Guoqing a color camera and an armful of film.

Passing by a shop selling cloth and clothing, she saw several of her men crowded in, and Zhou Jiao couldn't help but hold her forehead in hesitation.

——Should she bring two of those fancy Hong Kong shirts to her future daughter-in-law?
