Back to 1980: Please Love Me Again

Chapter 50 Zheng Guangming is Back
When Zhao Wenmu arrived, Gangzi had already been waiting there.

He put on a big vest today, and brought a few white towels, and didn't put any oil on his head, obviously he had prepared carefully.

At first glance, there is no such thing as a foolish look.

"Gangzi, this is Uncle Liu."

As soon as Gangzi saw Zhao Wenmu, he trotted over immediately.

"Hi Uncle Liu!"

Although Gangzi was stunned for a moment, he immediately reacted, and stretched out his hand to help Liu Qingshan get off the mule cart.

"Brother Liu, this is Gangzi, my apprentice."

Zhao Wenmu introduced with a smile, listening to Zhao Wenmu's "apprentice", Gangzi's eyes were full of joy.

Gangzi had already occupied the place, and even greeted the guards of the glass factory in advance.

The two didn't delay much, and immediately began to collect things.

Zhao Wenmu moved a small bench for Liu Qingshan, and Liu Qingshan saw that there was really nothing he could do, so he sat down in the shade of a tree beside him.

Today, the fried crayfish and spicy crab are all handled by Gangzi alone.

Zhao Wenmu just watched from the sidelines, pointing out to Gangzi what was not done well or rightly.

Liu Qingshan looked at the two men sweating profusely, and he had a higher opinion of Zhao Wenmu in his heart.

Obviously, by selling game, he can make money in a day that others can't make in a year or two.

But he did not enjoy himself, nor was he slack.

This young man has a bigger world in his heart!
He also finds Gangzi quite pleasing to the eye. He is young, hard-working, and a good boy.

Gangzi soon became quite proficient, Zhao Wenmu asked him to fry, and sat beside Liu Qingshan himself.

"Brother Liu, how is Gang Zi?"

"Not bad, good-looking, hard-working, and a good boy!"

Liu Qingshan admired from the bottom of his heart.

"Yesterday, he was just a sneaky bum. When we first met, he came to extort money from me, and I beat him up!"

Zhao Wenmu said with a smile.

He didn't deliberately lower his voice, Gangzi could hear him clearly.

"Third brother is right, I was a bum before, I won't be messed up in the future, so I will sell crayfish well with third brother!"

Gangzi put down the spoon and said to Liu Qingshan with a silly smile.

Liu Qingshan was stunned for a while, but did not speak.

It was as if a bolt of lightning flashed through his mind, and all kinds of insights came one after another like enlightenment.

Some ideas gradually took shape.

He also knows that rice must be eaten one bite at a time, and it is easy to tear the eggs if the steps are too big.

But he secretly made up his mind in his heart that even though the road ahead is difficult and full of obstacles, he will still search up and down, and even though he has almost died, he has no regrets!
A reformer's heart has never been more determined.

Liu Qingshan stayed at Zhao Wenmu's house for a few more days.

In the past few days, he visited Sanlizhuang, Shandongtou Village and other villages in Zheshan Commune.

I also admire Zhao Wenmu more and more in my heart.

"Xiao Zhao, I'm leaving tomorrow."

He disappeared for so long, and if he didn't go back, the city would probably have to search the whole city.

"Have you ever thought about expanding your mushroom business?"

He was shocked to see that there were still many villages in Zheshan Commune struggling to meet their food and clothing requirements.

It would be great if Zhao Wenmu could help them too.

"Brother Liu, although Gangzi and I have established two crayfish stalls, there is still a huge funding gap. With the current scale of acquisition, it probably won't last long."

Gangzi has already learned to be a teacher, and he will independently set up a stall in the sugar factory and glass factory in the future.

Crayfish, crabs and bottom ingredients are all supplied by Zhao Wenmu.

Gangzi earns 10 yuan a day.

This kid is full of energy and doesn't complain at all!

Zhao Wenmu himself was in charge of the textile factory and the cigarette factory.

Spicy crayfish and crab are both 1 yuan per catty, and the cost is less than 2 cents.

These two food stalls alone can make a net profit of nearly 200 yuan a day!
There is also game in the early 600s!

After deducting more than 100 yuan of various wages for a day, Zhao Wenlin, Zhao Wenguang, and Zhao Wenyan's 20 yuan each accounted for the majority.

The net profit of a day is a full 700 yuan!

But you have to pay 1000-1100 yuan to collect mushrooms every day!
The money in his hand was thrown out like running water, dwindling at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After Zhao Jing finished the accounts every day, counting the thinner and thinner money, the worry on her face deepened little by little!

The small frown made Zhao Wenmu feel a little pain.

Just a handful.

Well, it's still the same size.

When he heard that even the current acquisition scale could not be maintained for too long, Liu Qingshan's expression became more serious.

Zhao Wenmu didn't have a good solution either. The funding gap was estimated to be around 3 yuan, and his family only had less than 2 yuan. If the eldest brother and his family are willing to invest, they will also take all their money.

By the end of the year, this investment will be more than doubled, and Zhao Wenmu is confident to convince these companies.

Even so, the money is not enough.

There is nothing to do with the rest, but to reduce the purchase volume.

"How about selling crayfish on Guangyang Street and Zhengyang Street?"

Liu Qingshan asked.

He has sold crayfish several times these days, and has a basic understanding of the situation in Pingyang County.

"If you sell crayfish in these two streets, you can earn 300 yuan a day conservatively!"

Zhao Wenmu has been coveting these two streets for a long time. The original plan was to open a store in October this year, and he will go there as soon as the policy is released.

He considered it in his mind, and then said:

"If I can sell crayfish over there, I can collect another 30 catties of mushrooms!"

"Okay, these 30 catties of mushrooms will be purchased in the villages of Qiligou, Shilihe, Shaojialing, and Beigaizi!"

Liu Qingshan didn't say how to go to Zhengyang and Guangyang streets to sell crayfish, and Zhao Wenmu didn't need to ask.

The few villages he named were the poorest villages in Zheshan Commune.

Early the next morning, Zhao Wenmu went to the city to deliver the game in person, and took Liu Qingshan to the county seat by the way.

The two said goodbye on Guangyang Street where the state-run hotel is located.

"Little Zhao, you and Comrade Zhao Jing are both good comrades! Let alone anything else, I wish you better and better days!"

Before parting, Liu Qingshan patted Zhao Wenmu's hand and said reluctantly.

"Brother Liu, I also wish you all the best and express your ambitions!"

Zhao Wenmu cupped his hands, and led the mule cart away.

Liu Qingshan watched Zhao Wenmu drift away until he could no longer see him.

He turned around and walked into the compound of the ** County Party Committee.

Later that day, the Pingyang County People's Government issued a notice:

In order to further facilitate the life of the people and activate the enthusiasm for agriculture and rural production, the People's Government of Pingyang County decided to set up a convenient trading market on Guangyang Street, Zhengyang Street and the residence of Chengguan Commune.

The permitted business scope of the convenience market: farmer’s self-raised chickens, ducks, geese and eggs; sweet potatoes, corn, peanuts and other self-produced crops; eggplants, cucumbers, tomatoes, beans and other self-produced vegetables; hares, pheasants, wild fish and shrimps and crabs; Wild vegetables and wild plants with medicinal value.

In addition, all kinds of non-staple food operators and handicraftsmen who repair and repair can apply for booths.

营业时间为5月1号-10月30号上午6:30-8:00，下午5:00-8:00；11月1日-4月30日上午7:00-8:00，下午5:00-7:00。

No one would have imagined that the famous "Pingyang Night Market" would come onto the stage of history.

Even Zhao Wenmu could not have imagined that this "convenience market" would develop into a large-scale Internet celebrity attraction integrating catering, entertainment, accommodation and tourism in the next few decades.

There was no such an existence in the previous life.

In this life, he has truly changed history.

Such news, in the eyes of ordinary people, may be just an ordinary announcement, at most it is just an extra market.

However, in the eyes of those who are truly caring and sensitive to this era, this is an earth-shattering step.

Because it openly allows the existence of private commercial activities!

From then on, small businesses and hawkers can move around in the sun!

There will always be private business activities. In the past, they were hiding and not daring to show it to others.

Zhao Wenmu didn't expect Liu Qingshan to move so quickly.

Before he sold out the crayfish that day, someone had already run to Guangyang Street. After asking, he found out that the county government had issued the notice.

The convenience market will not be officially opened until two days later. After all, some cleaning and cleaning work must be done, as well as regional division of the market, assignment of management personnel, and so on.

Zhao Wenmu decided to use these few days to train Zhao Wenyuan into a qualified chef.

Now Gangzi's "Old Zhao's Authentic Spicy Crayfish" stall has become famous, and the business is getting better every day!

Zhao Wenmu's own "Old Zhao's Authentic Spicy Crab" stall is also very popular and can be inherited by Zhao Wenyuan!

The two food stalls sell exactly the same things.

"Second brother, help me find a carpenter to order 30 tables, each with 4 stools."

Zhao Wenmu described the size and style of the tables and chairs needed to Zhao Wenguang, and asked him to find someone to customize.

Time was tight, and Zhao Wenguang was very busy, so he had to ask someone else to do it.

Everyone was there at dinner, and Zhao Wenmu talked about his going to set up a stall on Guangyang Street.

He also arranged to go to Qilihe and other villages to collect mushrooms.

Liu Qingshan directly called the Zheshan Commune and asked them to cooperate with Zhao Wenmu in harvesting mushrooms.

Zhao Wenmu didn't need to worry, otherwise, he wouldn't dare to collect mushrooms rashly if he was unfamiliar with these villages.

When he got home at night, the commune cadres were already waiting at his house.

Waited for a whole afternoon.

The call was transferred from the city to the county, and they were finally found.

He only said that they should cooperate with Zhao Wenmu to harvest mushrooms in several villages, and nothing else was said.

The secretary of the commune personally led the team to Shanqian Village, and waited respectfully at the gate of Zhao Wenmu's house all afternoon.

Zhao Xuelei stayed with him all afternoon respectfully.

After understanding the whole story, the secretary of the commune patted Zhao Wenmu's hand and said kindly:
"Comrade Xiao Zhao, don't worry, the commune will go all out to cooperate with you, do this job well, and live up to the trust of the superiors!"

The cadres of several villages were also called to Shanqian Village one after another in the afternoon.

They understood that this is indeed a great thing, and they all patted their chests and promised to cooperate with the work!

Zhao Wenmu did not bully others, and all the conditions were the same as Shanqian Village.

Mushrooms still cost 6 cents a catty, and the production team takes 1 cent.

The cadres of the commune automatically blocked part of the production team, as if they hadn't heard about it.

"Xuehai, no wonder you have the money to build a water station!"

The secretary patted Zhao Xuehai on the shoulder, and the other party smiled awkwardly.

Not long after Liu Qingshan returned to Quancheng City, another surprise was sent to Shanqian Village.

A license that allows Zhao Wenmu to trade mountain products and wild game.

From then on, he is a licensed trader!
This is a big surprise!
Although there are already many self-employed people across the country at this moment, they are all handicraftsmen, and commercial activities are strictly prohibited.

Of course, although the private economy is almost extinct, it is not completely absent.

Licensed vendors are the only exception!
In 1970, the "Instructions on Combating Corruption, Theft, and Speculation" clearly stated: Except for state-owned businesses, cooperative businesses, and licensed traders, no unit or individual is allowed to engage in commercial activities.

With this certificate, Zhao Wenmu can buy and sell mushrooms and game openly.

Just when he was full of joy and ready to fight, a person who disappeared for more than ten days appeared in front of Zhao Wenmu.

Zheng Guangming is back!
