Twenty days later, Shen Yunfang finally sorted out the books in the warehouse, adding several sets of comic books to her space. Later, when she saw several bags of letters, she began eyeing the stamps on them.
That was easy to do; just soaking the envelopes in water would cause the stamps to peel off naturally once softened.
She dried the wet stamps overnight in the house, then found a thick notebook to store the stamps in.
In between, she went to the supply and marketing cooperative several times, taking advantage of Xue Jialong's absence to buy a large jar, five pickling pots, and five fifty-pound liquor jars.

She also saw large sheets of oil paper at the cooperative—cheap and useful. All she needed to do was cut them to size at home, so she bought ten sheets in one go.
