Courtyard: From out-of-print stamps to big collectors

This fried sauce noodles, you have to have ingredients, not only vegetables, but also meat.
In these days, there are not many people who can eat meat all day long, but the uncle has the ability, the eighth-level fitter in the rolling mill, the salary is more than 90 yuan a month, in this era of shopping for a few cents, nine The purchasing power of more than ten dollars is much stronger than that of modern times.
Of course, in this day and age, buying things requires not only money, but also tickets.
The money is distributed by the factory, but the tickets are quantitative.
How many people are there in your family, according to the regulations, give rations!
In areas where grains and flour are the staple food, heavy manual laborers are forty to forty-nine jin per month, with an average of no more than 44 jin; It must not exceed thirty-five pounds.
There are also oil tickets, cloth tickets, meat tickets, sugar tickets, cigarette tickets, wine tickets and so on!
All in all, you need a ticket to buy anything!
Among them, the most valuable are meat tickets and industrial tickets.
Of course, there are even better ones, such as bicycle tickets and more!
Strictly speaking, that thing is also included in the industrial ticket, but later because the supply and demand were too large, it was listed separately.
The most scarce thing is the meat ticket!
Because private farming is not allowed now, you said that it is still possible to raise chickens and ducks alone, but pigs, cattle and sheep, etc., sorry, the countryside is fine, if it is in the city, it is impossible at all, and more importantly, this At the beginning of the year, it’s not bad if your family can eat enough, and you also raise pigs, cattle and sheep!
Even if you raise it, you can eat it yourself. How dare you take it out and sell it?
If they are caught, they will be fined and confiscated, and criticism will be reported.
However, the market is always there. In any era, no matter how strict your investigation is, there will always be a black market.
“No Money!”
He Yuhao only has three dollars in his hand. When the educated youths go to the countryside, they don’t give them money. The other side takes care of the food and the house, and it’s over. This is also the hardest place for many educated youths. There is never a penny in their pockets. As for the food, I can never get enough to eat.
“Go to the old lady’s place first!”
Going back to the house, he found the money and food stamps put down by his eldest brother He Yuzhu. He Yuhao found out that there was actually a meat stamp!
“Good guy, half a pound of meat tickets!”
This thing is very expensive. Each person has a monthly quota. What’s more terrible is that you can’t buy it even if you go late. Basically, you have to queue up before dawn in the morning, otherwise, let alone meat, meat residue gone.
After taking the food stamps, He Yuhao came to the deaf old lady’s house in the backyard and knocked on the door.
“Grandma, I, Yuhao!”
“Oh, my dear grandson, come in quickly!”
He Yuhao pushed open the door and entered. Grandma was sitting by the bed. When he saw He Yuhao coming over, he was about to get up, so He Yuhao hurriedly took three big strides forward.
“Grandma, sit down, wait for the next aunt to bring lunch!”
“You eat with me!”
“Okay, I’ll accompany you to eat!”
“Oh, good!”
He Yuhao sat down to chat with the old lady, but the old lady held on to He Yuhao’s hand and refused to let go. After a long time, the old lady suddenly pointed to a box beside him and said, “My dear grandson, go get that box!”
He Yuhao had seen this box for a long time. This thing is not simple. Don’t look dark, but at first glance, it is not an ordinary thing.
Taking it over and taking a look, He Yuhao’s eyes almost popped out.
“Hey, dear grandson, do you see it?”
“Yellow?”
“Yo, the little things are really good at seeing. This is Huanghuali’s. When I’m gone, this is yours!”
“Bah, pah, bang on the wood!”
The old lady looked at He Yuhao with a smile, and said, “I’m not a child, I’m not knocking on wood, what I said is true, but I’ll be greedy for you today, open it!”
He Yuhao opened the dressing box, the old lady pulled out the contents, and then took out a small oil bag from the bottom!
“see this!”
He Yuhao opened it carefully, but after opening it, he was immediately dumbfounded.
“This is……”
“Hey, about ten years ago, someone told me that it was a good thing, so I kept it. Tell your grandma, what’s so good about this thing?”
In front of me is a stamp, big red, with the characters in the middle, it has seven characters written on it, and there is a line of English below it!
From right to left, the first four words – Great Qing Post!
Then, among the characters of Qing and You, three characters were written vertically—be one dollar!
Of course, it is traditional!
Then under the circle, there is a number, an English word – 1·dollar!
“This is a 1897 red stamp with a temporary stamp and small print as a new one-yuan ticket. I’m really a good guy, my ancestor, do you have this kind of treasure too?”
“Hey hey hey…”
The old lady just laughed, then looked at He Yuhao expectantly, He Yuhao looked at it, then walked outside the door to have a look, returned to the house, and secretly said to the old lady, “Ancestor, this is one of the most precious stamps in the world. One, not to mention the excellent production, this is still one of the few high-value stamps, and few people can afford it, so there are few issued!”
“More importantly, there are very few new tickets that can flow down from the past, still intact, and without a postmark!”
This ticket, there is another oneThe title is “China Post First”.
What do you mean, in the stamps of the entire Chinese history, this one is definitely the first!
He Yuhao is very clear. In 2013, there was an auction in these four and nine cities. Did you know that in 13 years, this thing was auctioned for 5.7 million!
Before that, in 2003, there was also a picture. In 2003, it sold for a sky-high price of 2.2 million.
With the influx of more and more people in this market, now this “red stamp small one-yuan” stamp has basically started at the level of tens of millions, and even to a certain extent, it is more than “the mountains and rivers are red” and so on. The stamps should be more precious.
Because no one came out.
Thirteen years later, these stamps are all in private collections, unless they are really in urgent need of money, they are also privately transferred, and it is almost impossible to put them up for auction!
In fact, there was a lot of red and red, and before He Yuhao crossed, there was an auction house exhibiting before the auction.
“Ancestor, you have to hide this thing. You can change a house casually in the future!”
“Hey, what is there to change the house, if you like it, you can take it!”
“what?”
Although she expected that the old lady would give this stamp to herself, but when she did, He Yuhao was shocked.
“Ancestor, this…”
“Take it, I can’t send letters anymore. I don’t have a letter writer anymore, old lady. What do I keep? When I’m gone, everything in this room is yours!”
“Look at what you said, you are the master of a hundred years of life. I tell you, I will ask you to bring me my children in the future!”
“Oh, good!”
The old lady smiled with a wrinkled face. .
