When I woke up the next day, it was already nine o'clock in the morning.

Ji Aiguo, Ji Qing and Ji Min are still bragging about Ji Sheng making a lot of money.

"Brother Xiao Sheng is really amazing."

"Yeah, more than 1000 yuan, how long will I have to work on the construction site to earn this much money?"

Several people couldn't help being amazed.

Ji Cheng, who bought two big meat buns for each of the three people and walked in the front, didn't speak, but secretly laughed in his heart, wondering if you guys forgot the cost?

Dude, in modern society, the purchase price of a wall calendar is ten yuan, but now it is only sold for seven yuan, and it is a total loss of six hundred.

However, Ji Sheng knew in his heart that the purchasing power of the two time-space money was different. In 1988, pork was only a few cents a catty, but in modern society it costs more than a dozen yuan.

Moreover, as long as you buy a few sets of stamps and go back, you will make a profit.

Ji Sheng couldn't help but sighed again, it's a pity that he never came across such a valuable thing as Yuan Datou, otherwise he would definitely rather buy Yuan Datou than buy stamps.

But now there is no way, he is anxious to repay the debts, two loans have expired today, and he will really become a dishonest person if he fails to pay.

Four people came to the post office.

Now the post office and telecommunications have not been separated,

There were not many people in the morning, Ji Sheng came to the window,

Opposite was a fat female staff member with a dark face, as if someone owed her tens of thousands of dollars.

Ji Sheng knew that in the current era, the post office is full of uncles, and when he saw the unhappy expression on his face, he immediately said very sweetly: "Beauty, are there any stamps for sale?"

When the fat woman heard Ji Sheng call her a "beauty", a flower-like smile bloomed on her originally dark face, "What are you talking about? It's not good for our leaders to hear, what face value stamps do you want?"

Ji Sheng said bluntly: "This year... that is, all stamps issued in 1988, give me sixty sets each."

"Sixty sets? Why do you want so many?" The fat woman was startled.

Ji Aiguo, Ji Qing and Ji Min next to him were also startled.

"Brother Xiao Sheng, what are you doing?" Ji Qing wondered.

Ji Aiguo knew a little bit, "Collect it, I talked to him before, and he said he likes to collect it."

Ji Min said speechlessly: "If you want to collect and play antiques, what are stamps worth?"

"I don't know about that." Ji Aiguo shook his head.

The speaker didn't care about the listener, and Ji Qing's eyes flickered, as if he had thought of something.

Ji Sheng was still communicating with the fat woman, "Oh, I'm doing business and I have to send a lot of letters, so I bought more and prepared them here."

If he hadn't only had more than 300 yuan, he would have wanted to buy one or two hundred sets of 88 stamps. Today is December 1988, 12, and if he doesn't buy it, he won't be able to buy it.

As for the 1989 stamps that were worthless, a complete set was only more than 100 yuan, Ji Sheng definitely had nothing to hope for.

The fat woman believed what he said, and said hesitantly: "This is already on the 31st, I don't know if there are so many more, if it's not possible, can I give you the stamps of 89?"

"No, I just want the 88 stamp." Ji Sheng made it very clear.

The fat woman had no choice but to say: "Okay, I'll look it up for you."

She stood up and walked away from the counter, apparently to see if there were sixty sets in stock.

Not long after, the fat woman came out with a cardboard box full of stamps. She put the things down and smiled helplessly, "There are only forty sets left, do you want more?"

what?

Only forty sets?

Ji Sheng was disappointed for a while. According to what Ms. Shen told him, [-] sets, [-] sets were not enough to pay off the debt. He frowned, "Is it really gone?"

Maybe it was because the fat woman named "beauty" was happy, she hesitated for a moment, "Let me help you call and ask other post offices."

Ji Sheng was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Then I'll trouble you, beauty."

Being called a beauty again, the fat woman smiled even brighter, and said honestly, "Oh, you, I told you that it's not good to be heard by the boss, okay, wait a minute, I'll make a call." .”

As she spoke, she picked up the landline phone next to her and dialed a few numbers.

Telephones are a rarity these days. Installing a home phone is not an easy task. Not to mention spending thousands of dollars in savings, it usually takes several months or even a year for someone to install it.

When Ji Aiguo and others saw the fat woman making a phone call, their envious eyes straightened.

On the contrary, Ji Sheng just glanced at it. With the popularity of mobile phones in modern society, how could he have any envy for landline phones.

"Um... Do you have twenty sets of all the stamps issued in 88... Oh... Thank you, thank you... Send me over." The fat woman hung up the phone after talking for a while, and then said with a smile : "Fortunately, the post office next door still has some stock in stock. Wait a while, and it will be delivered in about ten minutes."

Ji Sheng hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, thank you so much."

Waited ten minutes.

A courier from the outside, wearing a military-green overalls from the post office, came in, carrying a bag of stamps, and shouted loudly as soon as he came in: "Xiao Zhang, the stamps are here for you, and it's already the 31st, you still need it Why so many stamps?"

The fat woman stood up from behind the counter and said with a smile, "Thank you, Master Wang, I have a big customer here who wants to buy sixty sets of stamps issued throughout the year. No, we don't have much stock here, so I have to ask you to send some come over."

As she spoke, she pointed to Ji Sheng.

When Master Wang saw Ji Sheng, he was surprised and said, "Yo, didn't you see that the young man is quite rich, and he wants to buy sixty sets of stamps?"

Ji Sheng said modestly: "There is no way to send letters for business transactions."

"Hehe, then your business must be doing very well." Master Wang said.

Chatted a few words.

After paying a price of 260 yuan, Ji Sheng finally got 1988 sets of stamps issued in [-] except the selection commemorative sheet.

Here it is!

It's finally here!

At this moment, Ji Sheng's mood was extremely excited. He has the money to repay the loan this month, and he should be able to pay a little more to guarantee his life!

Of course, his money in this time and space has also dropped sharply to only ninety or so yuan left. Well, I just bought buns for a few people. A large meat bun costs [-] cents. It cost a few yuan, otherwise it would be a hundred.

Not to mention, today's big meat buns are really big enough, Ji Sheng thinks that he can eat one for half a day, and this big meat bun is full of meat, the mouths of the few of them are full of oil, which is better than the Barbie steamed buns in modern society too much.

outside.

Holding these stamps, Ji Sheng felt a little high-spirited, and felt that the more than 30 owed was not a big deal.

Suddenly, Ji Qing leaned forward, smiled and said, "Brother, are you interested in antiques?"

Ji Sheng had tasted the sweetness of Yuan Datou, so of course he was interested, he turned his head and blinked and said, "I'm interested, what's the matter?"

Ji Qing said: "My grandma left me some copper coins from the Qing Dynasty before she passed away. If you are interested, I will give you all those copper coins."

His father had told him about this news before, and Ji Sheng remembered it.

He probably knew why Ji Qing said that. It was nothing more than earning tens of dollars with the other party. However, he is not a person who likes to take advantage of small things. He thought in his heart that he should give Ji Qing some money, but he said: "Okay." , take me to have a look."

"Okay, let's go home." Ji Qing said.

The four of Ji Sheng and his party took the bus back to the countryside.

……

Ji Qing's family.

The two-family red brick houses are not even painted white. There is no way. People are generally poor now. Some people still live in thatched houses. Red brick houses are fine.

Ji Qing's parents are not at home, so they probably went to work.

As soon as he came in, Ji Sheng ran to the back room to rummage through the box, and finally took out a small iron box and opened it on the Four Immortals table.

About eleven or twelve copper coins.

Maybe the preservation is not very good, basically it is full of copper rust.

Ji Cheng picked them up to look at them one by one, and found that they were all copper coins from the Guangxu period.

Ji Qing asked, "Brother, how are you doing?"

Ji Sheng smiled slightly, "It's okay."

This is purely polite, because when he chatted with those shop owners in the antique market before, he learned that most of the Guangxu Tongbao were not very valuable, a few yuan or dozens of yuan each.

"Since you think it's okay, I'll give it to you." Ji Qing said.

Although these gadgets are probably not worth much, Ji Sheng still took out 20 yuan and handed it to Ji Qing, "Take it."

Ji Qing was unhappy when he saw it, and said with a dark face: "Brother, what are you doing? Look down on me?"

Ji Sheng hurriedly explained: "Brothers are still clear, Uncle Xiaoqing...cough cough, it's not that I don't think highly of you, but that I really don't know if these copper coins are worth anything. It's very valuable, and I took it without spending a penny, so you think I'm happy to go?"

Ji Qing thought about it, so he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take the money. Don't tell me if it's worth it or not. Anyway, I think it's worth it for so many copper coins to exchange for 20 yuan."

"That's right." Ji Sheng smiled, then stared at the copper coin again.

These Guangxu Tongbao are basically of the same style, with "Jin" and "Yu" written on the back.

Only one has the word "Fu Shou" written on the back.

Probably not worth much.

Ji Sheng didn't pay much attention, and casually put the copper coins into his pocket, but his eyes were full of enthusiasm when he looked at the small cardboard box of stamps on the table.

These stamps are the big deal.

Enough for him to not have to worry about repaying the loan for the next month!

At this moment, Ji Sheng inexplicably felt that half of the burden on his shoulders had been relieved, but the other half hadn't been let go yet, after all the stamps hadn't been turned into cash yet.

Well, go back to modern society and see if you can sell all these stamps.
