Rebirth in the 1960s, starting from Chinese medicine

As for collecting stamps, Li Chu never had such a hobby in his two lifetimes.

It is also unclear which stamps will be valuable in the future and which ones will not be sold.

But he knows one thing, that is, the 80-year monkey ticket will be valuable.

As for why it was a monkey ticket instead of a chicken in 1981, he couldn't figure it out.

He is not interested either, as for the few porcelains in his home, if he sells one in the future, he doesn't know how many stamps he can buy, so he doesn't think about collecting stamps at all.

I was a little confused when I was asked this question today.

"I don't collect stamps, and I don't know anything about stamps, but I remember that someone collects them at the gate of your post office. Why don't you sell them there and come here instead? These foreigners should not be interested in our country's stamps."

"Hey, Doctor Li, you don't know. The people at the gate of the post office have lowered the price too low. That's why I came here to try my luck and see if there are any foreigners who like it. I've been here for a few days, and they are basically sold. stay home."

It really can’t be sold. If you are selling small domestic handicrafts, or small antiques, it should not be too expensive. Foreigners may be a little interested in stamps... huh.

"I'm sorry, Master Wang, I'm really not interested in collecting stamps and the like, and the most important thing is that I don't understand them either."

"It's okay, I'm taking the liberty, so I won't bother you, Dr. Li."

This Wang Chongan did not continue to entangle, and when he heard that he was not interested in this, he immediately left and left, which surprised Li Chu. Some people are like dog skin plasters, which can't be shaken off even if they stick to it.

Seeing his slightly lonely figure, Li Chu stood there frowning and thought for a while, then called him to stop.

"Master Wang, wait a moment."

"ah?"

"Can you show me your stamps?"

Wang Chong'an walked back in a daze: "Doctor Li, what are you..."

"Oh, I want to see your stamps, I really don't understand this, I want to appreciate it first."

"Okay, um... let's go under the eaves over there, it's snowing, it's not good for the stamp to see the water."

At that time, there was no such kind of stamp collection. Wang Chongan’s stamps were sandwiched between a few magazines, but they were all neatly arranged. He was afraid that the ink of the magazines would be printed on the stamps after a long time, and the white paper he specially made was also sandwiched in them. .

After all, they are people who work in the post office. There are indeed many styles of stamps, and of course there are monkey stamps from the 1980s.

This is the only one Li Chu knows, oh no, he also knows another one, which was seen on the Internet by the previous generation, it is said that it is quite valuable, what is it called a piece of red.

For the rest, he just looked at a doll, and there were some issued during the Qing Dynasty, and some were issued at the time of the founding of the People's Republic of China. The denominations were all scary, ten thousand, twenty thousand, forty thousand, etc., tsk tsk!

There are also some that should have been peeled off from the top of the envelope, and they still have postmarks, but they are all handled very well, and it is really hard work.

Seven or eight magazines, which were originally thin, were forced to be as thick as a dictionary by Wang Chongan. There were nearly 200 large and small magazines in it, and I don't know how he collected them.

"Master Wang, it can be seen that you like collecting stamps, how can you sell them well?"

"Oh, I can't help it, my grandson is getting married, let's not talk about the TV, I have to prepare the furniture for the house, I have to find a way to get a bicycle, I have to prepare some dowry gifts for the woman.

The eldest grandson got married last year, and the second grandson just got married this summer. It seems that the elder and younger son have already negotiated, and they will have to do things in the spring of next year. The family really can't make up the money. There is no way to think of these stamps I collected. "

Let's see, there are many children in the family. If they come out one by one, no matter what they do, they will be one after another.

In the past three years, he has married three grandchildren in a row. As a grandfather, he can't afford it for the eldest and second child.

No way, he had to come up with a sum of money even though he gritted his teeth.

It seems that he threw all his coffins in, otherwise he wouldn't have exchanged all his hobbies for money.

Fortunately, he still has a retirement salary, otherwise he will be a problem in the future, counting on children? Still hoping to be more reliable.

Li Chu looked down at the magazines, touched them and asked, "Master Wang, how much do you plan to sell?"

! ! !

When Wang Chongan heard this, his eyes lit up a little.

I've been running for several days, and it's not that no one bids. The highest one will give him seventy yuan, all of it.

He didn't sell it, he felt that he had spent more than this price over the years.

"Doctor Li, do you want all or just a few?"

"If you want it, you must want it all. I don't know whether it's good or bad. It took a lot of thought for you to save so much. I bought it back and appreciated it. It's all learning. I see that there are a lot of stamps. There are still a few The description of the words."

Hearing that he wanted everything, Wang Chongan lowered his head and pondered for a while before saying, "Doctor Li, if you plan to want everything, three hundred yuan."

Is it expensive? Expensive, indeed expensive! There are less than 200 stamps in total, and each one costs more than one yuan. There are no stamps with this price at the moment, and the face value of fifty cents is pitifully small, basically five cents.

Li Chu smashed his mouth, and put the magazines he was holding back into his cloth bag.

"Master Wang, to be honest, I don't understand the price of stamps, but I think it's too expensive. Maybe it's worth money, but it's not worth that much to me."

"Doctor Li, if you think it's expensive, you can tell me a price." Wang Chong'an was a little anxious, and finally had some hope, he didn't want to mess it up.

"Well, I won't say anything about tens or hundreds. Let's count the total number of stamps. The unstamped ones are one piece, and the overstamped ones are ten cents. I don't know stamps, but I also know that if it is stamped, it means it has been used, this thing should not have much collection value, just look at the picture."

"Doctor Li, there are quite a few of them from the previous dynasty, and they are in very good condition."

"I know, that's why I evened it out and counted it as one piece for you. Otherwise, you wouldn't think that the ones that just came out in the past two years are worth one piece."

"Uh..." Wang Chong'an had nothing to say at this point, there were indeed one or two years in it, and now I can go to the post office to exchange it, and it is still exchanged at the face price.

Looking at the cloth bag that had returned to his hand and touching the magazines, Wang Chongan hesitated.

He has worked in the post office all his life, and he was there before liberation. He really likes these stamps. If he didn't want to marry his grandson, he would never exchange them for money.

But now the facts are there, and the price Li Chu offered him was the highest in the past few days, he gritted his teeth and nodded.
