Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 80: Searching for Treasures

Su Yijia could only pick up the notebook on the table and asked, "Do you have something to tell me?"

"Take care and don’t rush back," Qin Kaize reminded. Although he was reluctant to let the young girl out of his sight, he didn’t want to confine her to this small world.

"I will be careful. I’ll come back for lunch. Then, I’ll take a nap in the afternoon and go out again. I’ll be back before dinner. After eating, when the sun sets, we can go out for a walk together. So, don’t sit for too long in the afternoon, and make sure to sit properly in the evening," Su Yijia explained her plans for the day.

Seeing a smile in Qin Kaize’s eyes, she knew that he was satisfied with her arrangements, so she left. As soon as she left the alley, she could feel that someone was following her. However, it should be sent by Ke Zeming, so Su Yijia didn’t pay much attention to it. She took the bus to another black market, paid the entrance fee, and bought a half-height bamboo basket to carry on her back.

There wouldn’t be too many of these things, and she needed to organize them in her personal warehouse. Otherwise, it would look messy and drive people with OCD crazy. Now that she was being watched, she didn’t rush to make money using the system. Instead, she leisurely looked at the old items on the stalls. Although the black market had almost become normalized, there were still not many people who dared to openly sell genuine antiques. Su Yijia looked around but didn’t see anyone selling antiques. However, there were many stalls selling comic books, graphic novels, and stamps.

Following her instinct to seize opportunities, Su Yijia squatted down at one of the stalls. The graphic novels were dirty and tattered, and she had no interest in them, but stamps were a good find.

The elderly man noticed her eyes scanning several rows of stamps and immediately realized that she was also a collector. He enthusiastically introduced, "Young lady, these stamps of mine are all bought for collecting. You can’t find them in the market now. Take a look at this one; it’s from ten years ago, and this one is from nine years ago. As long as you’re willing to wait a few more years, their value will surely increase by hundreds of times."

If it weren’t for the fact that his family couldn’t afford to buy food, he wouldn’t have come out to sell these stamps. After all, the stamps he bought back then weren’t expensive, just a few cents. He had carefully preserved them for so many years to keep them in pristine condition.

The stamp the elderly man handed over was from nine years ago, and it was a relatively famous one called "The Nation’s Mountains and Rivers Are All Red." However, what made this stamp famous was the misprinted version that sold for 13.8 million. The ones the elderly man had were the correct versions, and they would be worth around 30,000 yuan in another thirty or forty years. The two stamps from nine years ago cost him sixteen cents, which was not a small amount considering his financial situation.

Su Yijia immediately decided to buy both of these stamps. "Grandpa, how much do you want for each?" 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"80 cents each," the elderly man proposed a price with some hesitation. After all, the face value of this stamp was only eight cents. Nine years ago, eight cents could buy a pound of fine grain, but now you couldn’t even buy a pound of coarse grain with the same amount. Furthermore, there were very few people who were interested in collecting these stamps, especially when they were sold at a tenfold price.

"Okay," Su Yijia agreed without hesitation. She didn’t mind waiting several decades for these stamps to become worth tens of thousands. After all, they didn’t take up much space, and it was a great way to let the people around her know that she loved collecting these old items.
