The specific manifestation of price loosening is inflation.

In fact, since the end of 1979, the capital has raised the prices of eight non-staple foods: pork, mutton, beef, poultry, fresh eggs, vegetables, and aquatic products.

After only a short period of stability, the prices of these eight non-staple foods began to rise one after another.

Over the years, there has even been a phenomenon of hitchhiking prices for related products and a large number of bargaining goods flooding the market.

For example, the state price of bulk beer is a dime and eight cents for a big bowl.

However, due to the shortage of goods, some places in the capital raised their own two cents and sold a big bowl for two cents.

Of course, the customers were not happy, and Ning Weimin's neighbor, Master Luo, was more than that.

"Isn't it one dime? How did it become two cents? Besides, you don't give a full bowl!"

The waiter didn't care.

And because the workload has increased, there is no good spirit, and of course the words come out horizontally.

"It's not in stock yet! If you want to drink it, you can drink it, and if you don't drink it, pull it down! Anyway, if you don't drink it, someone will drink it. ”

"Hey, you're arrogant enough, are you still unreasonable?"

"You're going to be reasonable, aren't you? Tell you, everyone else throws ice cubes into loose beer, do you know? I didn't do that to be worthy of you, you drank pure beer. Quite old, how can you take advantage of it and sell it well?"

So the two quarreled and had a lot of fun.

This is true of beer, but even more so of daily necessities like vegetables.

Especially this thing is still graded, what has always been waiting, what price is sold.

Think about it, so many kinds of dishes have to be put together every day to sell to the outside world, which is quite a complicated price system.

Naturally, disputes are more likely to arise, as well as the problem of unauthorized price increases by stores.

In order to prevent similar situations, the government's interim response was to have newspapers publish government-issued price adjustment notices on a daily basis.

As for the common people, they have developed the habit of taking newspapers to buy groceries.

Only by looking at it in this way can you know if the store is raising prices randomly.

Unfortunately, this approach is purely theoretical, and in many cases does not solve practical problems.

Like Ning Weimin's neighbor Aunt Mi, who sells vegetables in the grocery store on Coal Market Street, she has the deepest experience of this.

For example, one day, according to the price in the newspaper, the cabbage should be two cents a pound, and it should be lowered by five cents.

But the grocery store still sells it at the price of the previous day, which is two and a half cents a catty.

As a result, because the price of the dish was more than five cents, there were many customers who raised opinions and argued with Aunt Mi that day.

It's just that this grocery store is not the same as a restaurant, guarding the door of the house, and seeing that many of them are acquaintances.

Aunt Mi can't be aggrieved, so she can only explain it with good words.

"Guys, the fast horses can't catch up with the greens. With so many kinds of dishes at one price a day, where can I have time to adjust them? Not to mention that the leader asked me to sell them at this price, then I couldn't do anything. Everyone understands and understands that the overcharge is from the state, and it doesn't go into my pocket......"

In this way, after selling vegetables for a day, I was also in a hurry for a day.

Aunt Mi'er's mouth is almost not worn out.

That's it, and I almost couldn't hold back it a few times, and I choked on it.

It is very likely that people today will see this and say, "Isn't five cents more or five cents less just half a penny?"

But that was the case back then, and it was really so.

To put it bluntly, in addition to everyone's low income, the key is the money of the year, which can really be broken into eight-petal flowers for a penny.

Take a child buying candy cubes, and the economic account can be calculated more than half a cent.

It was also during this period that a customer in Beijing published an article in the Beijing Evening News in which he gave advice to the store's candy counter.

The article pointed out that a pound of fruit candy cubes is one yuan and a dime, and the amount should be about one hundred and fourteen yuan.

So it is more reasonable to deduce that a dime should be given at least eleven pieces of sugar.

However, some stores charge a dime, and the salesperson grabs seven or eight yuan for the child, which is not right.

There should be no deception for children, and there should be no deception for small customers.

This matter, of course, will not be so online.

Because the store is not opened by a salesperson, what are people trying to do?

It can only be said that it is just trying to save trouble!

But this also proves that people were so sensitive to prices back then.

Therefore, since 1980, the word "price" has gradually become the most popular word in society.

Since then, for quite some time, in various investigations.

Attention to the "price" of a product is almost always the first or second most important.

This sensitivity and heat is like the problem of housing prices faced by people today.

It was also from this time that the price check began to prevail, and the price bureau became a very famous bureau.

Price inspection offices and supervision stations in various localities have also become the most majestic departments with real power.

To be honest, such a historical period is actually a very special time period.

The whole society is up and down, and there is a little bit of a lack of security.

Most people's hearts are both fluctuating and panicking.

Because almost everyone has problems around us that need to be solved urgently, but they are difficult to solve for a while.

Whether it's for work, or for life, or for family, or for children, or for national events, or firewood, rice, oil, and salt......

In particular, the uncertainty of "crossing the river by feeling the stones" and not knowing in what direction the future of the country and oneself will change makes people feel as uneasy as stepping on a pile of cotton.

But don't say it, it's in such a social environment that Ning Weimin, this kid, is getting better and better.

This is of course due to his special attributes as a time-traveler.

You must know that at present, these problems that plague most people, for him, who is familiar with the trend of history, does not have the worry of "seeing flowers in the fog and finally passing a layer".

Yes, things are going up in price.

And all non-staple foods, are rising.

This is the first time since the founding of the People's Republic of China that people feel that the cost of living is constantly higher than ever.

But in the future, that's what happens every day.

What hasn't he seen Ning Weimin ever seen?

Garlic you ruthless, beans you play, ginger you army, sugar Gaozong......

Which one is not more ferocious than the current rally?

Even the wine and rice he drank and the plate of braised pork on the table cost more than 100, shouldn't he eat it.

To put it bluntly, he doesn't care about the current price of this little cabbage, and the meat is a few cents more expensive.

This is all a petty fight, and the common people will adapt to it sooner or later.

What's more, on the other hand, what does he Ning Weimin rely on to eat?

As a person from the future who aspires to get rich through speculation.

Of course, the more relaxed the system, the more flexible the price, the more beneficial it will be for him.

What he really can't adapt to is the kind of social environment that he couldn't find at all when he first crossed over.

Seriously, if it weren't for the fortunate old man Kang by his side at that time, he could guide him to the eastern suburbs garbage dump to earn a living.

Not to mention that he didn't have the slightest way to catch the monkey ticket that passed by.

Just where to get firewood, rice, oil and salt every day, and how to fill his stomach, is enough for him to worry.

And now the social environment is completely different.

As soon as the price is loosened, I feel that it is easy to say anything.

Take eating breakfast as an example, when he just came back, if he didn't have food stamps, people really didn't sell them.

It's not the dead nature of people, it's the dead nature of the system.

Stores that don't collect food stamps can't enter their accounts, and they can't buy grain and oil.

Now it's much more flexible, a bit of a market economy.

If you don't have enough money on you, you can buy it as long as you are willing to add some money.

In addition, although there are more and more educated youths returning to the city, the buses are becoming more and more difficult to crowd.

But this is also a good thing for Ning Weimin.

It is important to know that it is difficult for educated youths to find jobs when they return to the city, which will inevitably bring additional financial expenses to many families.

After a long time, coupled with the change in prices, many families could not stand it and had to send valuable things at home to trust stores.

For example, second-hand all-steel men's watches have always been a popular item in trust stores.

Originally, Ning Weimin wanted to buy a relatively new one, but it was not very easy, and it was only possible to see it in larger trust stores.

Especially a class of all-steel watches like Huhai brand, Beijing brand, Shuangling brand, that has to try your luck.

But now, at any trust shop on the street, there are six or seven all-steel watches suitable for refurbishment.

You can even see Longines, Omega, Rolex, Club, West Malaysia, Rome, Great England, and Bailang...... What about import tables like that.

There is also a foreign exchange coupon, which is a universal solution to the supply channel.

As long as you are willing to spend money to exchange it, you can buy any rare thing from the Friendship Shop.

Therefore, the supply of goods available for Ning Weimin in the market is becoming more and more abundant.

Not only is he more than enough to provide for the needs of the blind outcasts.

Even he figured out the routine of continuing to fool the blind streamers.

That is to continue to upgrade consumption.

After buying a domestic watch, he can fool them into buying a foreign watch.

You can buy a conversation box after a foreign watch, and then you can buy a bicycle, a tricycle, or even a TV......

Human desire is a bottomless pit.

As long as these blind people have copper and money, then he can eat "endlessly".

What he is really worried about now is that the industrial vouchers must not be cancelled too soon.

That would have a direct impact on his earnings.
