Chapter 545 Valentine's Day Gift

"Ye Qi, come back, you are a girl, what fireworks are set off?" Before Ye Qi could get to the place, Li Ran called out.

Although Li Ran looked at Ye Qi and Ye Lin when they were playing, Li Ran still loved Ye Qi very much.

The love she received was a little worse than Ye Lin, but she was many times better than others.

"Mom, it's okay, I didn't let it go when I was a child."

Ye Qi set off fireworks when she was a child, but when was that time, and she didn't dare to show off her wealth at that time. Even if she bought fireworks, she was still the kind of small fireworks.

"When you were a child, did you release such a large fireworks when you were a child?"

"Uh!" Ye Qi was stunned for a moment, glanced at the fireworks, and then left back.

Because she really had never set off such a big firework. What was set off at that time were all small flowers and cannons. This was the first time she saw such a big firework.

The next morning, Ye Lin went to the department store. Today is the 12th day of the lunar month of the Gregorian calendar, and there are two more days to be Valentine's Day on February 14th, so Ye Lin wants to buy a few gifts.

When Ye Lin arrived at the department store, he realized that there was nothing he wanted here. At this time, Ye Lin realized that since June 4, the central bank had stopped providing funds to the gold and silver processing industry.

The resumption of funds was on August 9, 1982, which means that during this period of eighteen years, the channels for ordinary people to purchase gold jewelry were cut off.

However, this is not a big deal for Ye Lin. There is no department store, but there is one place, which is the Friendship Store. Things that are generally not available outside can be bought in the Friendship Store, including gold and silver jewelry.

So after leaving the department store, Ye Lin went to the Friendship Store. Ye Lin was familiar with it. To be honest, Ye Lin had no need.

It’s not that he has no gold. It’s still very simple for Ye Lin to make some gold jewelry, and he can make a lot of them in minutes.

But if that happens, it feels a bit unofficial, so Ye Lin decided to buy it. Besides, gold is a hard currency, and there is no problem no matter how much you buy it.

After entering the Friendship Store, Ye Lin came to the counter and a salesperson asked, "Comrade, what are you buying?"

"Please take out this necklace and I'll take a look."

"Okay, please wait."

In the Friendship Store, there will never be such a thing as a person looking down on others, because there is a threshold for coming here. If you enter here, you must have at least 500 foreign exchange coupons.

For 500 foreign exchange coupons, more than 90% of the products in the entire Friendship Store are below this price, including this gold and silver jewelry.

The salesperson took out the gold necklace that Ye Lin wanted to see. Ye Lin took it over and looked at it, frowned and asked, "Why is this 14k gold? Is there any better one?"

14k gold, k is the unit of gold content in gold jewelry. 14k gold means 58.5% of the gold content, which is considered a jewelry with a relatively low gold content.

But the price is not low. Ye Lin glanced at it and the price above was eleven yuan per gram. Don’t forget that the foreign exchange coupons here are used. The eleven yuan foreign exchange coupons are 16.5 yuan, and this is about the bank exchange price.

If you exchange one dollar for foreign exchange coupon for three yuan according to the black market price, then it will be 39.51 grams. This price is really not cheap.

In fact, even if it is exchanged according to the bank, it is not cheap to 16.5 yuan. Don’t forget that this is only 14k gold.

"Look at this one, it's 18k gold." The salesperson took out another necklace and handed it to Ye Lin.

"Is there any higher value?"

18k gold refers to jewelry containing 75% gold components, while the remaining 25% are other precious metals.

Although 18k gold is already very good, it obviously does not meet Ye Lin’s requirements. What Ye Lin wants is 24k gold no matter what. Even if it is almost done, 22k gold will be needed. This 18k is obviously not good.

"Sorry, our 18k is already the highest here."

"18k highest?" Ye Lin frowned.

“Yes comrade.”

"Oh well."

When Ye Lin heard that 18k gold was the best, he didn't want to buy it, but he still looked at the jewelry at the counter. This time, Ye Lin felt that the jewelry from this era was very simple and even ugly.

After leaving the Friendship Store, Ye Lin never went to other places. Not to mention whether there are any other places, even the Friendship Store is like this, let alone other places.

So Ye Lin was going to build it himself. This was nothing for Ye Lin who had space. As long as he was willing, he would create a bunch of them in minutes.

Ye Lin did not go home, there were people at home, and the little girl might also sleep in his house at night, so Ye Lin had to find a place to build it.

In fact, there is no need to find this place at all. It has many such places, such as the slums we lived in before, and the yards we are now used to let my brothers put antiques on.

He can go here, and there is no one yet. Of course, if he wants, the emperor has dozens of places for him to use.

You know, after he came back, he bought a lot of houses, and they were all empty houses, but there was no convenience in other places.

Of course, the most convenient place for brothers to put antiques, because no one will come here at this time.

After Ye Lin came over, he locked the door from the inside, then went into the room, closed the door again, and entered the space.

Take out a big yellow croaker from the storage room. This big yellow croaker is more than 300 grams! It is definitely more than enough to make a few necklaces.

However, this big yellow croaker is also impure. Although it is more valuable than the 18k gold sold in Friendship Store, it is only about 90% at most.

This obviously does not meet Ye Lin's standards, but this is not a problem for Ye Lin at all.

So Ye Lin first did some purification, and it was very thorough, absolutely 100%. This is something that machines cannot do, and even in later generations, it cannot be done.

But Ye Lin had room, so he could do it. After Ye Lin purified the big yellow croaker, there were only more than 280 grams.

But this is enough. Ye Lin's thoughts moved and more than 280 grams of pure gold turned into three sets of jewelry. Yes, it was three sets of jewelry.

Ye Lin was originally planning to buy a necklace for each of the three girls, but it didn't sell it. So since he made it himself, it couldn't be just one!

Three sets of exquisite jewelry were quickly formed, and these three sets of jewelry were definitely not seen in this era. This is more exquisite than any jewelry made by machinery and craftsmanship.

Because these three sets of jewelry have no interface at all, yes, no interface, whether it is a chain or a carving on it, it is completely integrated.

Only Ye Lin can do this kind of craft, and no one can do it now or in the future.

The three sets of jewelry are necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings, and each set adds up to more than 90 grams.

He just used up the more than 280 grams of pure gold, but after the fabrication, Ye Lin smiled bitterly again. He felt that these three sets of jewelry were made so beautiful.

Unless the three girls don’t wear them, as long as they wear them, they will be known by their mother and grandma. When they know, they will definitely ask where the three girls came from.

Never underestimate women's obsession with gold, especially those who are older, who prefer this yellow thing.

So there was no way, Ye Lin could only make four more sets, and except for one set, these four sets were similar to those made before, they were also necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings. The remaining three sets were missing one bracelet and an extra pair of gold bracelets.

Of course, these four sets were prepared for my mother, grandma, grandma Du and sister Ye Qi. Although Ye Qi's set looks similar to the previous three sets, they are still different.

The jewelry of the three girls Zhai Ying and the others were all phoenixes. Whether it was earrings, necklace pendants, or bracelets, there was a lifelike phoenix on it, and even the ring was a phoenix pattern.

And the set of sister Ye Qi is on it, and yes, the set is on it, all of it is on it.

There is not much attention to the three sets of my mother, grandma and grandma Du. Apart from the necklace and pendant, there is nothing on the Buddha statue, earrings, bracelets and rings.

The reason why the necklace pendant is made into a Buddha statue is because the elderly like this, and that men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha.

For seven sets of jewelry, Ye Lin used three big yellow croakers. The main reason is that the three sets of my mother and hers are heavier, especially the bracelets. A pair of bracelets is about 100 grams.

Looking at these seven sets of jewelry, Ye Lin made seven more wooden boxes. Don’t underestimate these seven wooden boxes, all of which are made of mahogany.

Moreover, Ye Lin is made based on antiques. These seven mahogany boxes not only contain these seven sets of jewelry, but also jewelry boxes.

Ye Lin first laid a layer of yellow silk into the box, and then put the jewelry in, which looked a little more noble.

After getting these things done, Ye Lin came out of the space and went home. At this time, the three girls had not come back to work, so Ye Lin brought four sets of jewelry.

The weather is good today. Grandpa and Grandpa Du are playing chess outside, while Mom and Grandma are doing work, which means taking soles.

When my mother heard someone open the door, she looked up and saw that it was Ye Lin, and she was holding something in her hand, and asked, "Son, what did you buy again?"

"It's nothing, just a few sets of jewelry."

"Jewelry? Why are you buying jewelry?" My mother asked inexplicably.

"I just went to the Friendship Store and saw that the jewelry sold inside was good, so I bought a few sets."

"You kid, you can buy it if you think it's good!" Li Ran really couldn't understand his son.

"Why don't you buy it if you look good?" Ye Lin said that, he put the cloth bag in his hand on the Eight Immortals table in front of his mother and the others, and then opened the cloth bag.

When Ye Lin opened the cloth bag and saw four very beautiful boxes inside, his mother asked, "Son, isn't this cheap?"

......
