"Girl, you... you have food?" The old lady was so excited that she couldn't speak.
"Shh, old lady, let's send our letters first!" said Li Jinfeng.
"well!"
Next, while waiting in line to mail the letter, the old lady's eyes were always on Li Jinfeng, and a smile appeared on her face.
After waiting in line for a long time, it was finally Li Jinfeng's turn to mail the letter. She wrote the address on the envelope and handed it to the post office staff.
"Send to Jiangbei? The stamp is eight cents!" said the staff.
Li Jinfeng took out eight cents from her pocket and handed it to the staff member, who personally put a stamp on Li Jinfeng and placed it in the wooden storage box behind her.
"Hello, comrade, can I buy some stamps and envelopes separately?" Li Jinfeng asked.
In fact, Li Jinfeng had noticed during her previous observations that some people came to the post office directly with stamps and envelopes and handed the letters directly to the staff.
Generally speaking, when sending a letter, the most valuable item is the stamp, followed by the envelope.
An envelope costs one cent, and a stamp costs from a few cents to a few dimes.
Specifically, it depends on what you are sending. If it is a simple letter, a few cents will be enough.
But if you include the package, the charge will naturally be more expensive.
"Sure! Go buy it over there!" The staff pointed to a lower window in the corner and told Li Jinfeng.
Li Jinfeng went there and asked for advice, and found out that envelopes and stamps could actually be purchased separately.
"Comrade, do you have any other stamps besides these ordinary ones?"
Li Jinfeng knew that there was a kind of commemorative stamp that was rarely issued.
There will be no duplication of prints, unlike the ordinary stamps you receive when you send a letter.
Once you use it, you won’t have it again.
"Commemorative stamps?" asked the staff member.
"Yes! That's right." said Li Jinfeng.
"The stamps commemorating the 80th anniversary of Lu Xun's birth and the 100th anniversary of Zhan Tianyou's birth both arrived recently. Oh, and there are also a few commemorative stamps from the Tu Kai era. How many do you want?"
Hearing about the wide variety of commemorative stamps, Li Jinfeng thought without hesitation, "Can you give me all the modified ones? How many are there for the 80th anniversary of Lu Xun and the 100th anniversary of Zhan Tianyou?"
As for the latter two types, Li Jinfeng actually wanted to take all of them, but she was afraid that the quantity was too large and would scare the post office staff.
"Quite a lot, probably about a hundred of each!"
"Then I want twenty each!" said Li Jinfeng.
"Are you sure?" the staff asked.
Li Jinfeng was stunned, but nodded.
After the staff counted out the stamps one by one, she realized that the Zhan Tianyou commemorative edition had two denominations of eight cents and ten cents.
As for the Lu Xun commemorative edition, all of them are 8 points.
The notes that tu changed into 100 yuan, 200 yuan, 400 yuan, and 800 yuan were sold to Li Jinfeng at the prices of 4 cents, 6 cents, 8 cents, and 10 cents respectively. The post office just had four notes left, making a set.
All the stamps added up and cost Li Jinfeng a total of five dollars and forty-eight cents. She also bought forty envelopes and spent forty cents.
These stamps may look ordinary now, but in forty or fifty years, they will become popular and collectible items.
After putting away the stamps and envelopes she bought, Mrs. Zhou also sent a letter to her son.
The two of them walked out of the post office one after the other in tacit understanding, found a place where there was no one, and started talking.
"Girl, when will your food be ready?" asked Old Mrs. Zhou.
"It can be done today. Just tell me a place and I'll come to you with food later!" said Li Jinfeng.
