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.
