Chapter 33 Stamps
"Auntie, do you sell this chicken?"

After get off work, Li Lang saw an aunt in a floral padded jacket walking by with a live chicken, so he walked up to him and asked in a low voice.

"Sell."

"Five yuan for the hen, four yuan for the rooster." The aunt nodded.

"I want all the chickens you're holding."

Although I remember that the price is a bit expensive, it can create more value in Li Lang's hands.

Li Lang spent a total of 18 yuan on buying four or five dead chickens.

After finishing these, Li Lang was ready to go back to the factory and continue working.

At this moment, Li Lang found an admiral of the Nine Schools who was playing chess.

Originally, he was reserved for Han Chunming, but Han Chunming didn't want it anyway.

Han Chunming was kind, but Uncle Guan's son felt that Han Chunming had taken Uncle Guan's things secretly, and then sued Han Chunming to court.

"Uncle Guan."

The admiral of the Nine Gates knows a lot, so there is nothing wrong with Li Lang getting in touch with them more.

"Why are you looking for me?" Uncle Guan looked up at Li Lang and asked suspiciously.

"I want to learn crafts from you, haven't I never had a chance?" Li Lang replied with a smile.

"You boy can't."

After hearing this, Uncle Guan showed an attitude that Li Lang was not talented.

"Come on, Uncle Guan, I think I can do it."

Although Li Lang was nothing compared to the Admiral of the Nine Gates, compared with his peers, he was considered top-notch.

"Since you know that you are so unconvinced, then I will test you."

Uncle Guan wanted to test Li Lang disdainfully, but just wanted to make things difficult for him on purpose.

"Now let me see if this kid can do it, and if he can't, let him go." The tattered Hou next to him also laughed and booed.

"Okay, then you can come." Li Lang took it without hesitation.

At the beginning, Uncle Guan had some disdain for Li Lang, and he felt that Li Lang had no talent in this area.

But after chatting for an hour, Uncle Guan's expression changed.

Not only Uncle Guan, but even the ragged Hou next to him showed an incredulous expression.

"Your kid's knowledge reserve is almost catching up with mine."

"It seems that there is some ability."

"But whether you can find the baby is another matter."

Although Uncle Guan agrees with Li Lang's knowledge, knowledge alone is not enough for Jianbao, the most important thing is to have eyesight.

"Then can I worship you as my teacher?" Seeing Uncle Guan's approval, Li Lang asked hastily.

"No."

Uncle Guan still shook his head and proposed a condition.

"If I can find an object that satisfies me, I will consider becoming my apprentice again."

"Row."

"I will definitely make you my master."

……

Li Lang was going to go to the night market to look for treasures at night. With his level of knowledge in two lifetimes, it was very easy to find good things in this age.

……

But as soon as Li Lang thought of those valuable stamps in the future, Li Lang hurried towards the post office.

Li Lang remembers that the only stamps that can be bought at present, the more valuable stamps in later generations should be Mei Lanfang Art Stage and Blue Army stamps, Dalong stamps and red stamps may depend on luck to buy from other collectors.

Even the Blues stamps are hard to come by, as they are likely to be sold only inside the post office.

These two kinds of stamps are super valuable in the future, and it is not a problem to easily buy a house.

In the next few years, more precious stamps will come out, and Li Lang must grab more by then.

"Comrade, do you have Mei Lanfang's stamps here?" Li Lang asked politely when he came to the window of the post office.

"We have Mei Lanfang's stamps here."

"How many stamps of Mei Lanfang do you want?"

"What face value do you need?" The other party replied indifferently without raising his head.

The attitude of the service industry in this era is really bad. In fact, it is not bad if people can sell you things.

But don't expect to be able to reason with them, because their tempers are terrible.

"Is there a full set of stamps for Mei Lanfang?"

"If they all arrive, I'll buy them all." Li Lang asked hastily.

"Sorry, we don't have the full set here." The other party shook his head and said.

"Comrade, I really like Mei Lanfang's set of stamps. If you have the conditions, can you do me a favor and get some from other places?"

After hearing that there was no complete set of stamps here, Li Lang was a little disappointed, but he did not give up looking for it.

"I can think of a way, but I can't guarantee you the full set of stamps. You have to be prepared for this."

The other party did not fully agree to Li Lang's getting the stamps, but only said that he could try to see if he could find it.

"Thank you, if you can do me this favor, next time I will bring you a chicken as a gift to thank you for your help." Seeing that Mei Lanfang's complete set of stamps could be found, Li Lang hurriedly said to the comrade seductively.

"Really?"

"Don't you bring a coaxer?"

After hearing Li Lang's words, the staff's eyes lit up, and they immediately became interested.

In the era when wages of 30 to [-] yuan a month were common, who would spend a few more yuan to buy a chicken, not to mention that there are so many mouths to eat at home.

In this era, it is a very happy thing for many families to have a chicken to improve the food at home.

"That's right, I want as many stamps as Mei Lanfang has."

"I'll put my words here today. If you find me a complete set of stamps, I'll give you a chicken." Li Lang nodded without hesitation.

"Okay, comrade, since we've covered this point, let's say this to you boy, I'll get you a full set of Mei Lanfang's stamps the day after tomorrow."

Hearing that a set of Mei Lanfang's full set of stamps can cost a chicken, the staff member in front of him seemed very excited, and agreed without any hesitation.

"Comrade, can I inquire again?"

"Can you find out about the blue army mail here?"

"If you can get the blue army stamps here, I will also give you a chicken for a set of stamps."

"You don't need to tell other people about this matter, God knows this matter, you know it and I know it."

"I am also just a hobby collector of stamps, so I want to collect all the stamps I like."

After the other party agreed, Li Lang looked around and asked in a low voice after making sure that there was no one there.

"It may be a bit difficult to get this kind of stamp, but I can see if I can find it for you."

"It's true that there are very few stamps of this kind on the market, and I don't know who owns them now, so I have to ask someone to find out."

The other party did not agree to come down to help him find it. It seems that the Blue Army stamps are indeed difficult.

"In this case, I will wait for your good news."

"At that time, we will deliver the goods with one hand and the chicken with the other."

"Okay, this matter is settled like this, and I will definitely give you a lot of stamps when the time comes."

After getting the promise from the post office comrades, Li Lang left here satisfied.
