Chapter 397 The first batch of self-employed people!

Yang Ming can speak Cantonese. Now there is not much difference between the Cantonese spoken in Xiangjiang and Guangzhou. It may be that some people in Xiangjiang like to mix in some English when they talk.

If you remove the English, there is really not much difference from Cantonese in Guangzhou.

Yang Ming squatted there and asked the vegetable seller here about the current situation of street stalls in Yangcheng.

I learned from my aunt.

At state-owned vegetable stalls, vegetables cost 2 cents per pound, and you can't negotiate the price. You just buy whatever you see and take it away as soon as it's sold out.

However, she sells it here for 1 cent a pound, so you can choose whatever you want.

"Beautiful boy, do you want to buy a few pounds?" the vegetable seller asked curiously.

Yang Ming wanted to buy it and taste it, but he was staying at the Friendship Hotel and someone else had made it directly.

Mr. Shen and Secretary Zhang next to them were a little worried. Mr. Yang's identity was not simple. How could he buy and sell vegetables without quality assurance at will?

What if these vegetables are overdosed with pesticides?

"Auntie, I don't buy groceries, I want to know something."

Even then, the aunt was still very enthusiastic and quietly said to him: "Beautiful boy, I know a place that sells not only vegetables but also game. Do you want to try it?"

Game?

Yang Ming suddenly thought, it couldn't be a pangolin, right?

There is really no animal protection law in this era. It can't even protect people. How can animals be protected?

At this time, the game that my aunt is talking about should be wild animals such as pangolins, cobras, and even voles (not the kind of sewer rats in the city. City sewer rats carry many viruses, and voles are edible).

Yang Ming is really curious.

Now, in addition to selling vegetables, there are actually people selling game.

Perhaps because they felt that what the aunt said had a bad impression on Mr. Yang, Mr. Shen and Secretary Zhang hurriedly tried to stop it.

Yang Ming said: "Auntie, I'm very curious, I don't know where to buy it?"

"You really want it?"

"Even if I don't want it, I still want to see it. Auntie, I won't waste your time."

Yang Ming asked Lin Xiuzhi to give 5 cents to the vegetable seller.

The vegetable seller looked very happy when she got the 5 cent note, which is equivalent to selling fifty kilograms of vegetables.

After the aunt asked the jealous vegetable sellers next to her to help, she got up and took Yang Ming to see the so-called game.

When we came to the street not far behind.

The so-called game is indeed bought and sold here.

Yang Ming and others have just arrived here. In fact, besides them, there are many people inside.

But basically, it depends.

"Master, please take a look."

Yang Ming had already seen it, which was placed openly and openly in the cage outside.

Among them, there are really pangolins.

But inside the cage.

Azhu also knew about this kind of pangolin when he was in Nanyang, and he also knew that the indigenous people there would catch and eat it.

Unexpectedly, I saw it here.

Looking at the pangolin wrapped in the iron cage, Yang Ming felt quite pitiful.

In fact, many people now have not realized that pangolins were gradually endangered in these years because they ate too much, and they became a national first-level protected animal.

In this era, pangolins are still relatively common.

In addition to seeing the pangolin, Yang Ming also really saw the snake in the cage.

And not just one, but many.

These snakes include cobras, water snakes, etc., and there are even many that Yang Ming cannot name.

In addition, Yang Ming also saw an old man killing a snake there. Someone must have bought it.

In addition to these, Yang Ming also saw some birds.

There are also field mice, bamboo rats, etc. that Yang Ming just thought of.

It's all here.

. . .

Yang Ming was really surprised when he finished reading it.

I have to say that there were quite a lot of wild animals in this era.

For example, in addition to the development of the old city of Yangcheng, the areas in Tianhe are actually still fields. The farther areas have not yet been developed, and there are naturally many kinds of wild animals.

Yang Ming just looked at it, but he didn't really buy it.

Yang Ming knew that most of these wild animals carry germs.

In this day and age, a serious illness can easily kill someone.

"How are you, pretty boy? Do you want to buy it? I can bargain with the boss and sell it to you at a low price." The vegetable seller said enthusiastically.

The 50 cents 'tour guide fee' that Yang Ming had just received was indeed very enthusiastic.

Yang Ming shook his head.

"Auntie, I don't want to buy it, and I don't like eating it either. I'd rather go to the zoo and see it."

Come out of that street.

Yang Ming knew that this was the case in Yangcheng now.

Things like these were normal in the 1980s and even the 1990s.

It's just that this is the first time he has really seen it.

After saying goodbye to the vegetable seller, Yang Ming knew that there were still many people who had not yet solved the problem of food and clothing. How could they be in the mood to solve the problems of those animals?

However, the trading of these animals did give him a revelation, that is, in a place where people cannot even provide food and clothing, then of course it is impossible to protect them.

Yang Ming has already thought of his way.

leave here.

Mr. Shen and Secretary Zhang were also worried about what Mr. Yang would think after seeing those buying and selling wild game.

"Mr. Yang, these people are selling them secretly and privately. We will make them stop when we get back."

"Mr. Shen, Secretary Zhang, please don't interfere with them. Don't affect them because of my relationship. Even if they don't sell, there are still others selling. But because I went to see their business, I have to stop. This It will affect their lives.”

Now Yang Ming sees another aspect.

That is the earliest batch of self-employed people in Yangcheng, and the existence of free buying and selling.

In this era, it is very difficult to create self-employed people in one place.

Like the aunts selling vegetables just now, the young men selling popsicles, and the people buying and selling game in the streets behind them, they are all the earliest self-employed people in Yangcheng.

As for many of their things, they are not necessarily their own, but they took them from other people and then sold them. In fact, they made a profit in the middle.

Like the young man selling popsicles, he buys popsicles from the People's Food Factory and then sells them, earning 0.5 cents per popsicle.

The aunties selling vegetables may have grown them at home, but the cost is unknown. They can make a profit of every penny or pound, which proves that the cost is not high.

As for the price of the game, Yang Ming didn't ask. In fact, it wasn't expensive. He probably bought it from other people and sold it at a higher price.

These are the earliest self-employed people here.

Except these.

Yang Ming learned from the vegetable seller that there are really a lot of businesses in Yangcheng now.

Among them, there are those who buy and sell clothes.

Before that, if you wanted to buy clothes, you would usually go to a supply and marketing cooperative, a department store, or a state-owned cloth store with a cloth ticket, buy cloth with the ticket, and finally take it home and sew new clothes yourself.

However, now that he could buy new clothes freely in the market, Yang Ming was still very interested.

Not far away, Yang Ming saw someone selling clothes.

And it's a complete set.

When Yang Ming went to take a look, he found that the quality was average, but in terms of price, compared with the current average income in Yangcheng, these new clothes were still relatively expensive.
