The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 444 Looking for the post office everywhere
Bai Meixi returned to the space and changed her bicycle. She took advantage of her free time in the afternoon and started looking for the post office in Puhai City. According to her expectation, she would be able to get at least hundreds of sets of stamps this afternoon. After all, this is the bustling Puhai City, and the post office is better than other places. The more cities there are, the more stamps are allocated.

She specially bought a map of Puhai City and marked all the post offices and post offices on it. There were hundreds of post offices in this city. Bai Meixi could only choose the nearby post office to go first and gradually expand the scope of her search. , this method allows her to go to the most post offices in the shortest time and maximize the benefits.

But her confident plan was hit hard right at the beginning, leaving her stunned for five minutes before she recovered.

"That kind of stamps have been sold out a long time ago. This is Puhai. How can we still have them in stock now? These are all newly released. Do you want them?"

When the salesperson at the post office heard that Bai Meixi wanted to buy Wen 10 and Poetry stamps, she shook her head disdainfully, thinking that she was a country bumpkin from somewhere. She didn't even know that new stamps had been issued, and she was still obsessed with the ones that were issued a few months ago. of old models.

She pointed at the latest styles on sale and looked at Bai Meixi with a proud look on her face, "Did you see that these new stamps are only available in Puhai currently, and other places have not been updated yet. If you take these stamps back, It is proof that you have been to Puhai, and it is also your capital to show off to others."

The post office clerk rolled his eyes at Bai Meixi, feeling that he had shown her a clear path. Even a piece of paper brought back from Puhai was valuable, let alone a new version of stamps.

Bai Meixi looked at those stamps. The newly released stamps are indeed exquisitely made and the color saturation is higher than before. It can be seen that this batch of stamps has been improved. Unfortunately, the value of stamps has nothing to do with quality, only with commemoration. The nature is related to the quantity sold.

These stamps will indeed have some value if kept decades later, but there are so many of this version on sale that almost every household has them. The profit margin is very limited. It is not worth squeezing out a large amount of money for this kind of stamps.

There is still a lot to develop in her space, and the newly launched book and paper acquisition industry also requires money, and every penny cannot be wasted.

"I don't want these, thank you." Bai Meixi shook her head and walked out of the post office. The salesperson behind her snorted disdainfully, feeling that she simply couldn't afford it.

Bai Meixi originally thought this was an isolated phenomenon, but she went to more than a dozen post offices with the same result. Whether it was a big store in the city or a post office in the suburbs, she changed several districts in succession, and her legs were almost broken from fatigue. , but she couldn’t even buy a set of 10 stamps, not even poetry stamps. This result made her particularly depressed. Pushing her bicycle on the road, she kept lamenting, could it be that her fortune of making money by buying stamps was like this? finished?

She worked until evening but still found nothing. The post office was closed, completely giving up her hope.

It was only a matter of time before the Wen 10 stamps and poetry stamps were sold out. Bai Meixi had already prepared for this day. After being depressed for a moment, her mood returned to normal, so she simply
Wandered around the roadside casually.

Puhai City is very lively at night. There are small stalls selling things everywhere, such as steamed buns, noodles, local rice balls, glutinous rice cakes, sugar cane juice and cooked soy milk. Some people on the street even make small snacks. The pub has a few wicker chairs in front of the house and specializes in selling home-brewed sweet wine, edamame peanuts and other snacks.

Whether you want to eat or drink, you can find a suitable place in Puhai City. These businesses seem to be small operations, but in fact they have a lot of profit margins.Bai Meixi came to a wonton stall and ordered a bowl of wonton noodles. The boss was from the south. When she saw Bai Meixi sitting down, she immediately ordered a bowl of authentic shrimp wonton noodles, sprinkled with thick shrimps. oil, and lightly ordered some chili sauce and brought it to Bai Meixi.

"Girl, you have just arrived in Puhai. You are really discerning. My wontons are the best in Puhai City."

The boss is very enthusiastic. His stall is placed in front of a photo studio, and even the light bulbs are connected to the photo studio's wires. The two of them complement each other perfectly when they are still and when they move.

Bai Meixi's eyes gradually moved from the wontons rolling in the pot to the photos in the photo studio. The photos of this era were still black and white, which looked particularly charming. She remembered that she had seen a black and white photo of a celebrity wearing a cheongsam, and felt that I was instantly transported back to the Republic of China period, and I couldn’t help but want to take a picture.

"Master, when will this photo studio be open?" Bai Meixi looked at the watch on her hand, fearing that she would not have time to go back to the space to change clothes. State-owned photo studios usually get off work on time at six o'clock, which is similar to the normal work schedule. The time is the same, and there is probably no one around at this time.

"This photo studio is very special. It is open before twelve o'clock in the evening. If you are a regular customer, it is also open after twelve o'clock."

The owner of the wonton stall is very familiar with the owner of this photo studio. This was not a state-run photo studio, but a private one. It has been operating here since the Ming Dynasty. After several changes, the original owner became He became an old master in a photo studio. He loved taking pictures. He has lived in the shop for many years, guarding the property left by his ancestors.

Bai Meixi has been chatting with the owner of the wonton stall. After dark, his business is getting busier and busier. The small wonton stall has already had seven or eight customers. The boss no longer has time to chat with Bai Meixi. He He was busy standing in front of the stall and didn't even notice Bai Meixi leaving.

Bai Meixi finished eating the wontons in her bowl, first bought some simple cosmetics at a stall, and then found a deserted corner to return to the space to change clothes.

The cosmetics she uses are the simplest, an egg-sized makeup box, with cyan and blue eye shadow and red lipstick on top, red rouge on the bottom, and a simple powder box with loose powder inside.

Women in Puhai City like to put on makeup. This simple makeup box is very popular among everyone and is often bought with clam oil.

Bai Meixi tied up her hair in a ponytail and put on light makeup. In this era, people's makeup is still stuck in the stage of flaming red lips and heavy makeup, which looks very exaggerated. However, Bai Meixi just lightly applied it on her cheeks. She put on some blush, and her eye shadow and lipstick were also slightly decorated. This light makeup made her look energetic and her complexion looked particularly good.
She put on a dress of her own design, which was also plain in color, making her look particularly refreshing.

She appeared at the door of the photo studio with confident steps, and as soon as she entered, she caught the attention of a senior master in the photo studio.
