Chapter 140 Buying Stamps
The girl at the post office counter took the two candies, feeling the texture in her hands. Adding to the visual enjoyment of the good-looking person, even her tone became exceptionally gentle and patient.
"Sister, you have to buy a whole sheet of stamps. I have quite a few left. Wait for me to show them to you."
"Okay, thank you sister!"
Bai Nuo nodded, folded his arms on the counter, and waited obediently.
The post office worker quickly came out carrying a small box filled with sheets of stamps.
"These are all sheets of stamps, but many of them are old stamps that have been in stock for several years. Take your time to choose, sister."
The staff are accustomed to this kind of thing. Although people are worried about food and drink these days, there are still some people who have enough food and drink and like to collect some things and keep them at home. Of course, they only dare to collect some worthless things, such as stamps that cost a few cents each, otherwise they will be reported as hedonists, which will be disastrous.
"Okay, let me take a look!" Bai Nuo walked to the side with the box in his arms, carefully searching through it while asking the system.
"Tong, take a quick look and see which ones are worthy of being heirlooms. I don't even understand this stuff."
Bai Nuo had no idea about some of the things with high collection value in later generations, such as stamps, coins, wine, gold watches and the like. She had never thought about exchanging these things for money decades later.
Just like she said, she will be old in a few decades, and it doesn't matter what she changes into money. She just wants to enjoy herself while she can, so the most important thing is to make more money while she is young.
As for exchanging points, these things are things of the current era. Even if you take them to the mall, you won't be able to exchange them for much. You can't even exchange them for as much as an antique item.
However, if the system asks her to collect, she will symbolically collect one or two sets as heirlooms. In case she has children in the future, she can leave them with a memory when she passes away.
"Host, the seventh set below is [Total Victory], produced in 68, the eleventh set is [Big Blue Sky], produced in 67, and ahhh, there's also the one at the bottom, [The Whole Country is Red], produced in 68. The others are not worth collecting, but you can buy a few sets that you think are good-looking. After all, even if you don't keep them, you can still use them later."
"it is good!"
Bai Nuo responded in his heart, picked out a few more versions that he thought were good-looking, and bought two dozen envelopes and two books of letter paper. After paying the money to the sister and saying goodbye, he left the post office and returned to his own courtyard.
After Bai Nuo returned to his courtyard in the county town, he did not rush to open the lottery wheel. Anyway, there was a system watching, so it would definitely not time out.
Instead, he returned to the space first and checked again the goods to be shipped this time.
Among the big items I brought back from the fat director’s house in Shanghai last time, there is still a TV, a Snowflake refrigerator, two Rolex watches, a Shanghai watch, a radio, and two sewing machines.
Bai Nuo planned to sell them all this time, and then took out two hundred skirts, two hundred Dacron shirts, two thousand hairbands, two thousand hairpins, and five hundred scarves from the space age warehouse.
These are all things suitable for this era, and they look good and are of good quality. They can definitely be sold at a good price.
The dress and shirt that Bai Nuo found from the space warehouse were of the famous retro style in her previous life, with a bit of Hong Kong retro feel, and the fabrics were all Dacron.
In order to adapt to the market of this era, Bai Nuo specially selected dresses and Dacron shirts that are not too bright in style and color, so she is not afraid that others will not dare to buy them.
There are so many retro-style clothing and accessories like this in the No. 8 Era Warehouse in her space. They were all collected from hundreds of supplier warehouses that specialize in supplying retro-style online stores in her previous life. They include supplies from the 70s, 80s, and 90s.
She won't have to worry about a shortage of supply for the next twenty or thirty years. Although she can only sell secretly now and the shipment volume is small, when the market opens up in the future, she can buy her own shop and hire two people to help sell the goods. She can just sit back and wait to collect the money.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Bai Nuo took out a piece of paper and wrote the unit price of this batch of goods on it. After all, the humanoid robot could not speak and could only pretend to be mute, so she wrote the price on paper to make it easier for the humanoid to connect with the recipient.
Fortunately, there is a system, so it is convenient to check a few.
The Friendship Store sold Rolexes for 1114 yuan each, but you needed foreign exchange coupons to buy them. The black market didn't require foreign exchange coupons, so Bai Nuo set the price at 1164 yuan each. Watches in the Shanghai market cost 120 yuan plus invoice, radios 85 yuan plus invoice, two sewing machines a total of 280 yuan plus invoice, a 14-inch black-and-white TV 800 yuan plus invoice, and a Snowflake refrigerator 1400 yuan without invoice.
In addition, Dacron dresses cost 25 yuan each, Dacron shirts cost 12 yuan each, headbands cost 3 cents each, plastic hairpins cost 8 cents each, and veils cost 5 yuan each.
These are the shipping prices from Bai Nuo's side. It would be more expensive on the black market. After all, her uncle has a group of people working for him, and she can't let him lose money.
Bai Nuo wrote down the unit price of each item, then took the humanoid to the delivery location and hid himself in the space.
The person who came to pick up the goods this time was a young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old. He was also there when the goods were delivered in the county last time, so he didn't find it strange when someone took out a piece of paper with the unit price written on it, and he calculated the price honestly.
所有大件加起来一共5013块钱，两百条的确良裙子5000块钱、两百件衬衫2400块钱、两千个头花600、两千个发卡1600、五百条纱巾2500块钱。
I made a total profit of RMB from this batch of goods.
When the young man came to collect the goods, he thought it would be the same as last time, with at most a few large items and the rest might be some rice, flour, grain, etc. He didn't expect the quality of this batch of goods to be so good, so good that it was no longer suitable for sale in the county.
They will definitely have to go to the city or province to ship the goods. Not to mention the big items, even the dresses, hairbands, and hairpins will probably be snapped up on the black market in the city. The styles are much better than those sold in state-owned shopping malls.
"These things shouldn't be from our side, right?"
The young man asked with some concern. He had been following the old man for more than a year, but he had never seen such good stuff.
The humanoid was silent for a few seconds, then took out a piece of paper from his pocket and spread it out. On it were written the Guangdong Province, Hong Kong and City.
"No wonder, I've heard that things over there are different from ours, especially in Hong Kong. They can even make flowers out of a skirt."
The young man smiled and patted the humanoid on the shoulder. "Alright, brother, we've taken all the goods this time. If you need more of this quality in the future, just bring us as much as you want. We're sure we can handle it."
After the young man finished speaking, he turned around and waved behind him. Then several tall and strong men came out, one of them holding a sack full of cash.
When they came, the old man had already told them to bring 20,000 yuan, which was enough to buy all the food.
The young man pulled out 2887 yuan from one of the sacks, then took out a small cloth bag from his shoulder bag and handed it to the humanoid. "Here are the remaining bills. They'll cover the bills needed for those big items. They're all commonly used bills, and there are also a few national unified food coupons. Feel free to use them."
The human nodded, put the small cloth bag containing the bills into his pocket, then picked up a few sacks with both hands, turned around and walked quickly up the mountain.
Bai Nuo picked up the humanoid halfway, then chose a deserted place to come out of the space, rode a bicycle and carried a backpack back to the Qishui Brigade.
"Hey, Xiaobai the educated youth is back. It's so convenient to have a bicycle here. We don't have to wait for a carriage."
As soon as Bai Nuo rode his bicycle into the village, he was seen by several aunties at the village entrance. They looked at the ladies' bicycle that Bai Nuo was riding with envy.
In their team, only the team leader and the secretary had bicycles. The next one was Fang Zhiqing from the Zhiqing compound. They were all common 28-bar bicycles. Who would have thought that this young Zhiqing would ride back one as soon as he came to the countryside, and it was a women's bicycle that was only sold in the city.
If you can bring one as a dowry when you get married, your husband's family will look at you with admiration.
Bai Nuo smiled slightly, nodded to the aunties he was not familiar with that night, and pedaled his bicycle with his legs swinging as fast as he could. He ran away in the blink of an eye, not giving the aunties any chance at all.
"Hey, what's the little girl doing riding that bike? I want to see what she bought in her backpack." One of the middle-aged women with dark skin and a slightly sour look curled her lips at Bai Nuo's back.
"As for me, among the female educated youth in this educated youth compound, Bai Zhiqing has the best conditions. I heard that she has a sewing machine in her room. Even though it's second-hand, it's better than nothing.
She has a bicycle and works as a stable keeper in the breeding team. She earns a lot of work points every day and has a lot of free time. If she were to marry into a family, she would have plenty of free time to stay home and cook and do housework. She also has a large dowry. If a family marries a girl like her, they will make a fortune.
The middle-aged woman became more and more jealous as she spoke, as if Bai Nuo had already found someone.
An old lady who had been silent nearby lowered her head slightly, staring at the direction where the young educated youth left, her eyes flickering slightly.
"You talked so well, what's the matter? You still have some ideas? I remember that your son has been engaged for a long time, and the remaining one is still a little kid." An aunt who was picking beans on the other side teased the other person with a hint of mockery in her eyes.
"Tsk, my son is engaged to the family of the workshop leader of the county sugar factory. My in-laws are, after all, city dwellers. That educated youth may sound nice, but they are from the city. Their food supply is still in the countryside, and they eat country food. It's uncertain whether they will have the chance to return to the city in the future. No matter how good their conditions are, they are still country educated youth. My son doesn't like them."
The middle-aged woman who spoke first had a face full of jealousy just now, but now she looked arrogant. After she finished speaking, she picked up her basket, twisted her waist and walked away.
The people who were originally sitting together chatting looked at the back of the person who was leaving in silence, and some of them were so angry that they rolled their eyes at him.
"What's wrong with Lao Wu's family? Ever since her son found a girlfriend in the city, his eyes have been like they're growing on top of his head. Her daughter-in-law is so plain-looking, not even as attractive as the porridge we have this morning. The only thing she has is her father who is a team leader in the factory. She brags about it all the time. I don't know what's wrong with her!"
"That's right. She still looks down on the young educated youth. She really thinks that the jealousy on her face just now is invisible to others."
"Just wait, there will be some trouble in her family. I heard that her daughter-in-law is not easy to get along with. She was spoiled by her family and couldn't find a partner in the county, so she came to our country to look for one. From now on, there will be some trouble."
They chatted for a while in groups of three or four, and when they saw that it was almost time to prepare dinner, they got up and prepared to go home.
"Hey, when did the Xu family's in-laws leave? Did anyone see it?"
"I didn't notice. It seems like he followed Lao Wu's family back."
"I'll never play with these two again. They left without even telling me."
The gossip squad at the village entrance once again threatened to break up, while Bai Nuo returned to his own courtyard early.
The bacon that was dried a few days ago is almost ready to eat. Bai Nuo put the cakes and oil tea noodles that he brought back from the county today into the side cabinet, and took out a piece of pork ribs and a piece of pork and hung them on the wall next to the stove.
He went to the front yard and looked across, and saw that Fang Meng had not returned yet, so he changed into a large backpack and machete and went to the back mountain.
Xiao Fugui has been raised for a few days, and is provided with delicious food and drink every day. He drinks the spring water from the space, eats various liver and meat strips, and has three meals of milk a day. The milk is all fresh milk squeezed by 925 from the cows in the space livestock farm.
After a few days, the originally thin little guy not only gained a lot of weight, but his limbs also became stronger. He followed Bai Nuo in the mountains and occasionally helped Bai Nuo drag a piece of wood back.
"Fugui'er is awesome. This is a reward for you." Bai Nuo took out a small piece of meat and fed it into Fugui'er's mouth. These were the snacks that 925 usually made for her and Fugui'er.
Of course, hers are spicy, five-spice, pepper and salt flavored, and a little rich... originally!
I don’t know what kind of weird knowledge the small system has downloaded to 925. When it comes to raising a little rich child, healthy feeding is absolutely important.
He picked up a full cup of firewood. During this time, Bai Nuo also caught a pheasant and a rabbit, tied them up and put them under the backpack, and then called Xiao Fugui to go home.
In the past few days, because Xiao Fugui'er was still a little weak, he had been kept in the space. Today, he looks much stronger. Bai Nuo plans to officially let Xiao Fugui'er debut. The price of Rolex at that time was found on the Internet. This is also the price of the radio I saw in a post on the Internet. It is this radio Peony 644.
