Chapter 175: Brewing

February 6, 1984, the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, is also a Monday.

This is the first working day after the Spring Festival in the year of Jiazi.

In addition to the satisfaction of taking the Spring Festival and the weekend together for four days in my heart.

and the wonderful program of the Spring Festival Gala is still a little reluctant to reminisce.

I'm afraid that most of the people in the capital, no one will think that this day is anything special.

For, like many mornings to which people have become accustomed, the day still begins with the rising of the sun and still begins with constant crowding.

At bus stops, subway platforms, and department stores, you can see people everywhere so crowded that even buying breakfast is overcrowded.

The bicycles on Chang'an Avenue have become an endless queue, and the crisp bicycle bells ring in the sky, even exceeding the "Dongfanghong" chime of the telegraph building.

And people who are accustomed to this do not understand that in fact, the change of the times has been contained in this seemingly normal scene.

Because queuing and queuing are also very different.

Before the educated youth returned to the city, the people in the capital lined up, which was basically caused by the shortage of materials.

However, since the return of educated youths to the city, the reason why people in Beijing queue has gradually turned into a problem of insufficient urban affordability.

Similarly, many changes happen all the time.

It's just because the speed of change is a bit slow, and it's not eye-catching enough, and it belongs to the kind of moisturizing things silently, so it will be ignored by people.

For example, some families still use coal stoves, while others already use gas canisters.

But among the people who are still using coal stoves, few people will realize that the replacement of gas tanks for coal stoves is the mainstream trend of social development, and it is about to usher in rapid growth.

They also didn't know that because more and more people wanted to replace the gas tank, the more this matter dragged on, the more difficult it would be.

Even when they were hesitating about whether it was worth it to spend money on gas canisters or to burn coal, and to ask for gifts and begging for help.

As everyone knows, the price of buying and transferring gas tanks and gas books from private individuals has quietly risen to fifty yuan.

Again, no one will notice that this year, the rice and white flour in the grain store have become a commodity that can be supplied openly.

Fine grains basically account for more than ninety percent of the daily consumption of the common people, and the share of coarse grains has become very small.

Of course, no one would have thought that while China's grain output has continued to rise in recent years.

Such a good thing has even created new challenges and difficulties for the peasants' livelihoods, that is, "it is difficult to sell grain".

In various parks in the capital, qigong practice has become a popular fitness item alongside morning jogging, morning walking, and tai chi.

Due to the "Spring Festival Gala", a family of three openly appeared in the "Qigong performance".

So no one thinks that the appearance of this thing is so abrupt that they doubt the rationality and scientificity of this "fitness method".

will not be vigilant, and then suddenly appear "folk masters".

Similarly, when people complain that there are too few buses and it is getting harder and harder to get around.

No one will notice that the domestic Yellow River brand buses began to gradually replace the old-fashioned Skoda buses, and the buses quietly began the process of upgrading and upgrading.

Even cities have broken the law of basically unchanged for seventy or eighty years and started large-scale urban renovation projects.

The goal has been set not only to build buildings, but also to expand roads.

However, when people ride or walk through construction sections, they usually only feel dissatisfied.

Because they only see the inconvenience caused by the construction, but they cannot see the necessity of the construction and the great significance behind it.

There are also white uniforms of public security, which are also gradually withdrawing from the stage of history.

The various public security organs began to change into single-breasted and yellow-haired dark green uniforms with yellow hoops on the cuffs and brims.

The people didn't feel anything uncomfortable, anyway, the police uniforms in the past have been changed several times, maybe they will be changed back.

Their eyes were fixed on themselves and those around them.

Because of the repeated advocacy of national leaders and the demonstration effect, suits have begun to be favored by people and have a tendency to replace tunics.

is like Hong Yanwu's dress when he got married, don't look at it, only half a year has passed, but he will no longer be laughed at by people behind his back as a "fake foreign devil".

Because nowadays, almost everyone wears it like this.

In addition, the first batch of college students after the reform and opening up have also begun to emerge in society.

Like in the literary and artistic world, almost all of our "fifth-generation directors" completed their film debut in this year.

It's just a pity that their purposeful long shots, rich colors, and esoteric film themes.

Of course, he can earn an aura of honor for himself, so that his films can go abroad and be recognized by the international film industry.

But it is precisely because of this that these films have no commercial value at all, and the box office appeal is not as good as that of black-and-white films shot in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

So from this year on, the moviegoer began to decrease, and the film market began to decline out of control.

In short, all these changes are as natural as the gurgling water, and they are just as natural.

Perhaps it is because people's horizons and insights have gradually broadened after a few years of baptism.

People no longer get excited and screaming for a little bit of something new.

Or maybe it's because last year's "earth-shattering" events were too shocking.

In contrast, these changes that are really relevant to the people seem to be some "little things" that are not painful and insignificant.

What's more, there are both good and bad aspects of these changes, and not all changes have only positive effects.

As a result, people turn a deaf ear, turn a blind eye, and let themselves take care of themselves, which has become a normal attitude towards life.

Most people's limited joy these days can only be put on something interesting.

is like the heated discussion of Chen Peisi's sketch, their neighbor met him in the toilet, and praised him while squatting in the pit.

"Pest...... Your sketch is amazing, that's a tease......"

It's like pop songs have changed from "If the Wine Sells Dry" and "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" to Zhang Mingmin's "My Motherland Heart" and Xi Xiulan's "The Girl of Alishan".

Just like people who travel to the Forbidden City, there will definitely be more people who are attracted by Yang Weifan's singing voice played on the tape recorder.

At the expense of the pain, he also wanted to taste the rock sugar gourd that inspired his creation.

Just like the Beijing has also appeared by the textile bureau set up a clothing model performance team, every time the organization of trade fairs, public performances have attracted the scene is extremely hot, the clothing is out of stock......

But it must be said that the real and greater change is brewing in this environment.

Because since the statement of the "great man" allowed the reform and opening up to survive the controversial period and liberated the economic reform from the question of "surname capital or surname society", 1984 has inevitably become a year full of hints and suspense.

It is precisely because the last floodgates have been opened that the power of the people is destined to begin to flow around like a spring.

Even if the common people have no overall view and are unconscious, the instinct of hard work and the yearning for beauty, just like the natural law of "people go to high places and water flows to low places", will naturally lead money to investment depressions.

It will also bring some people who dare to dare to do things and are not willing to be lonely to take the road they should go.

Like the old man of the Hong family, he is a little restless, since he heard the news that "Daoxiang Village" is open again.

He always ran to people's homes.

Within a few days, dozens of pastries sold in "Daoxiang Village" were bought by him in boxes and boxes.

This is good, not to mention the Hong family itself, even the Shui family and the three neighbors of the East Courtyard are the same.

The breakfast of each family is all good, and all of them have become gruel and dim sum because of Hong Lucheng's gift.

It made the old people a little confused about this.

I wondered in my heart, how can there be post-holiday gifts, where did this come from, what to say?

But for the Hong family, who can't see the old man's thoughts?

Hong Yanwu first expressed his wealth.

"Dad, since you're tempted, don't hold on anymore. Why don't we open the 'Yanmei Zhai' first?

But he didn't expect Hong Lucheng to shake his head.

"No, it's not time yet?"

At this time, Hong Yanwu was stunned.

"I didn't ...... Dad, didn't you say it yourself? After two troubles, this policy will not change again. You see, isn't there only two times on the young fool? This time, the top has been hand-picked and innocent, and the 'seven up and eight down' have been denied, I really think we can do something serious. What are you worried about?"

How do you know that what Hong Lucheng said is quite reasonable.

"Hey, it's not about policy. The first is manpower. Master Zhang's craftsmanship is not picky, but you and Quanzi can do it, can you rush there?"

"It's hard to hire people in private trading now, and the 'big bowl of tea' is still a collective system, who likes to do it for private individuals? The 'Yuebin Restaurant' in the newspaper depends on their own families, so this is a difficulty in the first place. ”

"Second, I also went to see 'Daoxiang Village', the front store and the back factory are right, and it is also the old way of doing business. But this thing is still far from it. The raw materials are not good, and the craftsmanship is not good. ”

"If nothing else, let's just say this Saqima, you see they use sugar, and raisins and diced golden cakes. Fooling around like this, their things are also more expensive than those in the grocery store. Because the cost is still higher than that of the factory. ”

"But you know, sugar is the worst sweetener. And 'Saqima' is translated as 'dog ** sugar dip', and it must be done with 'dog ** dry' in the northeast forest. ”

"If you really want to follow the Manchurian practice of our old shop, 'Saqima' still has to use sour cream and ghee from Inner Mongolia, so how much does it cost? They still have a lot of complaints about the price of 'Daoxiang Village'. ”

"So to open at this time, it's just two outcomes. One is that the business is deserted, except for those who really know how to do it, most of them have to think that we are black-hearted. ”

"But if it's really something that is barely made, then it's just a name, it's not bullshit, and it stains our family's name, but it is a bad conscience. ”

"No, no, I'll think again......"

Hong Yanwu suddenly realized when he heard this.

After pondering it, it is true that my father was very worried.

Because the rent is not high in these years, the rent of "Yanmei Zhai" is only 300 yuan for the sister-in-law's unit.

Selling this, of course, is still the raw material.

If their Hong family loses money in trading, isn't it a big joke?
