I lost my vegetative state, and I became the richest man in the world

Chapter 398 The first batch of self-employed! 【1】

Yang Ming and the others continued to walk forward.

"Jingle ding bell!"

The bells of bicycles on the street rang from time to time, making the lively streets more popular.

"Sell popsicles!"

. . .

Yang Ming has already seen a man in his 20s, wearing a red vest on the upper body, a short-sleeved 'Accurate' shirt, gray flared trousers on the lower body, and a pair of Jiefang shoes on his feet.

The young man was riding the [-]-bar bicycle with a box of popsicles pulled on the back of the bicycle.

In addition to the two red characters that say 'popsicle', there is some cloth covering it.

This kind of July day is the hottest weather in Yangcheng every year, with the highest even reaching 37 degrees Celsius. In this case, it is really good to have a popsicle to enjoy yourself.

Ah Zhu and Zhong Chuhong were really curious about what the young man was selling.

"Master, what is he shouting for?"

"Sell popsicles."

Popsicles?

Ah Zhu and Zhong Chuhong were really curious.

When it comes to ice cream, they still know it.

But what exactly is this popsicle.

"Sell popsicles."

the young man yelled again.

Seeing that no one was selling it and was about to leave by bicycle, Yang Ming hurriedly called to stop.

When he saw that the boss was about to call to stop, Chen Zhenhua had already called to stop.

Seeing this group of people dressed like rich people, the young man hurriedly pushed his bicycle to Yang Ming and said, "Boss, do you want to buy popsicles?"

"How much? Let me see."

Yang Ming grew up in the north in his previous life.

In this era, even in the 80s, this kind of popsicle can solve the hot summer days, and he really has never encountered it.

However, he has seen it in books and on TV.

"There are white popsicles and yellow popsicles, and they cost 1 cent each."

1 cent a stick?
What is the concept?
Both Ah Zhu and Zhong Chuhong couldn't react.

Nowadays, when buying things in China, there are indeed banknotes and coins of 1 cent and 2 cents, so that 10 yuan of Great Unity is already a big banknote.

Yang Ming had heard before that those popsicle factories were not clean and they were produced with tap water. Many people might feel sick to their stomachs after eating them.

People like Yang Ming just came from Xiangjiang, so they might have a stomachache after eating.

"Is this popsicle clean?" Yang Ming asked.

"It's clean. We are produced by the Wuyang Brand Ice Cream Factory, which is the People's Food Factory. It is very clean. Our employees all buy it for themselves."

Seeing that Yang Ming was worried about being unclean, the young man hurriedly explained.

"It's too hot, you all have a taste."

Since it was produced in a big factory, Yang Ming felt relieved.

Chen Zhenhua and the others each had a popsicle.

White popsicles have no color added, and yellow popsicles have color added.However, the main raw material for popsicles is tap water.

In this hot weather, each of them took a bite with a popsicle, which was really comfortable.

Although it only costs 1 cent a piece, it is really good. Even Mr. Shen and Secretary Zhang wanted one.

"Anything else?"

"Yes, we also have red bean popsicles and mung bean popsicles, each cost 2 cents, and a pineapple flavored popsicle is also 2 cents."

Yang Ming is also a little curious about red bean pie and mung bean pie popsicles.

When the other party took it out and looked at it, Yang Ming found that it was actually a popsicle with red beans or mung beans added, or with pineapple flavor, which should be better than those popsicles.

"Master, I want a red bean batch."

"I'd like a mung bean batch."

Ah Zhu and Zhong Chuhong said separately.

"You take it."

Yang Ming has 30 people here.

Originally, there were at most [-] or [-] popsicles in this popsicle box, but now it sold about [-] popsicles at once.

Not much left.

The young man smiled and took the money Lin Xiuzhi gave him.

It's just a few cents.

However, for young men, this can earn a dime or two, which is really good.

At the end of a day, it can be sold more than once.

Especially in summer, when the business is easy to sell, it will be sold many times a day, so a net profit of one yuan a day and 30 yuan a month is not bad, which is not low compared to the monthly salary of those large state-owned enterprises.

The most important thing is to come and go freely.

When the young man thanked Yang Ming and the others, he rode a [-]-bar bicycle to the front and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

"Mr. Yang, don't you want to eat? This popsicle is very antipyretic."

Mr. Shen came over and said.

These popsicles are available in the north, even Yanjing, especially in the hot summer, which is very refreshing for many people.

Yang Ming didn't want to eat, he just wanted to experience the life of this era.

Yang Ming was actually very optimistic about that young man just now.

It was only 1979, when many people were still longing for the iron rice bowl of public meals, this young man had already sold popsicles himself.

Of course, this is not something ordinary people dare to do.

Don’t think that a popsicle only sells for 1 cent, but if you buy goods in the factory, you may get it for 0.5 cents per stick, or even lower, and you can earn money every time you come and go.

"Mr. Shen, I don't want to eat, I'll just take a look."

Obviously, Yang Ming was very happy when he came to Yangcheng this time and suddenly saw a young man selling popsicles.

No wonder, Yangcheng was later called the first and most open cities. If it weren't for the emergence of a special zone like Pengcheng, it would be really difficult for other places to match the business atmosphere here.

Because, at this time, in other places, if you dare to buy and sell things privately, you will definitely be hit, and even regarded as speculation and thrown into jail.

This kind of free business style in Yangcheng is what Yang Ming wants.

Yang Ming and Mr. Shen continued to go forward.

Along the way, I looked at the street signs with a lot of history. Next to the street signs are some old houses that also look very old.

These old houses are afraid that they will be demolished in the future.

Under the old house, Yang Ming saw several women in their 40s to 50s arranging vegetables there.

Yes, these aunts are selling vegetables.

Yang Ming remembered that to buy and sell things in China now, you need to go to supply and marketing cooperatives, or even go to department stores or state-run vegetable stalls to buy.

For example, food stamps are needed to buy rice, meat stamps are needed to buy pork, cloth stamps are needed to buy cloth, oil stamps are needed to buy oil, etc. Anyway, buying and selling daily necessities, even electrical products, etc., not only need money, but also stamps.

Now on this street, there are actually people setting up stalls here to sell vegetables openly and aboveboard, but the most important thing is that no one cares about them.

Is there any management in this era?
It really hasn't appeared yet.

It first appeared in history in 1980.

There are other people who are not in charge, but no one cares about them selling vegetables at a street stall here.

Yang Ming seemed very interested, and hurried to the aunt who was selling vegetables in front.

Yang Ming wore sunglasses and walked over. The aunts saw Yang Ming and the others and asked, "Little boy, do you want to buy vegetables? These are the vegetables we grow at home, so fresh."

Yang Ming found winter melon, pepper, spinach, cucumber, and some other vegetables that Yang Ming couldn't identify.

"Auntie, can you set up a stall here?"

"Show it? Why not show it? Since last year, we have grown and sold it ourselves."

In fact, it should have been at the end of 1977 at the earliest. After the country began to relax, Yangcheng began to set up some scattered stalls. In 1978, there were more street stalls here, and now in the second half of 1979, there are even more street stalls.

It's just that other people didn't see it and found it very curious.

In the past, I had to go to the state-run vegetable and meat stalls to buy them, but now there are people selling them on the streets outside.

Naturally, other consumers will buy.

The most important thing is that the service attitude of those state-owned companies is not good, and you can't choose them. It's different here. You can choose whatever you want, and the price can still be negotiated.

The state-run ones can't talk about it at all, and they can spend as much money as they want.
