The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 477 Useful Information

Bai Meixi walked around the street. She was in a bad mood. The capital city gave her a heavy blow. She felt that all her ways of doing business were unworkable. This made her original belief begin to waver. She originally wanted to Stay in the capital for a while and look for new sources of business.

But after today, she planned to hit the road early and join Cheng Haiyi's army early to avoid wasting time in the capital.

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, Bai Meixi saw a post office. Beijing is the most prosperous place in the country and has the most post offices. Bai Meixi wanted to try her luck and see if she could find Wen 10 stamps and poetry stamps.

If she could gain something from the stamps, her stop in the capital would not be in vain.

"Those two kinds of stamps have been sold out a long time ago. Why are you still buying these two kinds of stamps? Where you live is not very well-informed. There are new ones over there. If you want to bring gifts with others, just bring them."

A female salesperson was knitting a sweater while dismissing Bai Meixi. She looked disdainful after seeing her rural dress and thought she was coming to the post office to buy souvenirs.

"If you want to bring some specialties back, there is a small shop at the entrance of the alley that sells specialties from the capital, such as pea yellow and donkey rolling. It's cold now, so these things won't go bad if you bring them back."

A young man in his twenties walked out of it. He pointed to the specialty shop at the intersection and asked Bai Meixi to buy some food. The price was cheap and the gifts seemed plentiful. Many people who came to the capital to visit relatives would bring some. Bringing food home is better than buying stamps.

"I don't want to buy specialties, I want to buy stamps." Bai Meixi knew that these people had misunderstood, and she quickly explained her original intention. Even if you can eat peas and donkeys in a few decades, stamps are hard to come by. , if you miss it, you will have to spend tens of thousands of times the price to buy it back.

"Oh, if you want to send letters, there are new ones there with good patterns." The salesperson at the post office was a young man in his twenties. When he saw Bai Meixi dressed in rural clothes, he did not classify her as a stamp collector. First, thinking that she just liked the patterns of those stamps, he took out a few sets of new stamps, the colors on them were more colorful, and they looked much better than the Wen 10 stamps and Poetry stamps.

"Thank you, I only want those two sets of stamps." Bai Meixi felt that the salesperson's attitude was very good. Unfortunately, the new sets of stamps he took out had no collection value. She declined his kindness and planned to go to other places. Check at the post office.

"Other post offices are no longer available. Those two sets of stamps have been discontinued for more than half a year. Not to mention the capital, other county-level cities have also been sold out. If you want to collect them, why not go to Beihai Park to have a look, there are many there Stamp collectors, maybe someone else has these two sets of stamps.”

The young salesperson pointed out a clear path to Bai Meixi. This place in the capital has been the location of the imperial city since ancient times. Collecting antiques and reselling antiques, calligraphy and paintings. Crickets, birds and animals have been a tradition for thousands of years, and this stamp is naturally one of them. , there are many people who spend a lot of money to collect stamps, and some even go bankrupt.

But these people enjoy it. Even if they don't eat, they still have to live with those stamps and entertain themselves in their own small circle every day.

"Really, can you really buy these two sets of stamps in Beihai Park?" Bai Meixi was very excited after hearing the news. Her eyes lit up and she wanted to rush to Beihai Park immediately.

"There should be. Those people gather there every night. There are stamps from decades ago. You can ask them to look for them, but the stamps you buy there are much more expensive than the face price." The salesperson replied. It is a very real gathering place for philatelic enthusiasts. In addition to competing with each other and bragging, the most important thing is to exchange and buy stamps. It is equivalent to a small market. "Thank you, I'll go and take a look." Bai Meixi felt that she had discovered an excellent treasure. In addition to literary and poetry stamps, there are many valuable stamps in modern society. If you can encounter them in Beihai Park , will definitely be a huge asset for her future.

"Sister, please don't believe others who say that stamps are valuable. Only people in that small circle recognize that kind of thing. Sometimes there is a price but no market. The price is very high but the thing cannot be sold. You But don’t spend your living money on these things.”

The salesperson kindly gave Bai Meixi a few words of comfort, letting her know the risks of collecting stamps and not to blindly follow the trend, otherwise the family would not be able to survive.

"I know. I just went to take a look. It won't cost a lot of money." Bai Meixi knew that the salesperson had good intentions. She bowed to him, thanked him several times in a row, and then returned to the space to change clothes. , she took off her rural clothes and put on an intellectual suit, looking like a cultural person.

She looked in the mirror, expressed satisfaction with her appearance, and hurriedly took out her bicycle and rushed to Beihai Park.

She once heard her grandfather talk about this place. She originally thought that it would only develop after the 80s. Unexpectedly, in the 60s, this place was already bustling with people.

Beihai Park is a landmark in the capital. It is very large. People who do morning exercises and outings come here every day. It is even more lively at night. When Bai Meixi arrived there, it happened to be the time when the lights were on. The park was full of people falling in love and doing evening exercises. After walking around Bai Meixi for a long time, I didn't find any gathering place for stamp collectors.

She could only ask for help from others and wanted to know where those people were hiding.

"Sister, do you know where the stamp seller is?" Bai Meixi saw a person who looked like a teacher and immediately went over to ask. This person also likes to collect stamps. After hearing Bai Meixi's words, he immediately pointed to a person. Behind the rockery.

"People who buy stamps are all over there. They think it's noisy here and it's not convenient to talk. But girl, you have to be careful. There are many people who deliberately raise the prices. If you suffer a loss, there is no place to explain."

The teacher-looking person kindly reminded Bai Meixi that collecting stamps is just like antiques. There is no right or wrong. You deserve it if you make mistakes, so you should listen more and read more and take less action to avoid unnecessary losses.

"I understand, thank you." Bai Meixi felt that the people in the capital were very nice, and she went around to give her advice. She quickly walked to the rockery, and there was indeed a cave behind the rocks. It was not dark yet, and there was a cave. A large group of people gathered in this place, everyone holding a stamp album in their hands, which contained various stamps, which were also their proud possessions.

Baimeixi took two steps forward. Its future fortune depends entirely on this place.
