In 1977, a year before the Third Plenary Session of the 11th CPC Central Committee, state-owned enterprises were still in chaos, lacking the most basic right to operate independently, and were like chess pieces constrained by the planned economy.

Before the wave of state-led reform broke out, the most breakthrough was the dark tide surging on the fringes of socialism -- the countryside. SC Jiulongpo has taken the lead in implementing the package production to household system, and then Xiaogang Village in AH Province has also completed this initiative and has become a more well-known representative.

At the same time, the emergence of township enterprises is also a beautiful landscape.

However, as a self-employed private sector, it was not treated fairly, was subject to policy restrictions, and had a bad reputation in society. At the end of the 70s, most of the self-employed people were carried out in secret, and those who were self-employed were idle people and labor camp personnel.

"Self-employed?"

On a snowy night, Hu Dong looked at Zhao Yuemin and frowned, "Do this, be ashamed." ”

Zhao Yuemin shook his head and said, "What is there to be ashamed of working to get rich?" In several neighboring towns, there are already several families running restaurants, and they are making a big deal. People's dishes are cooked well, the price is cheaper than that of state-run restaurants, and the attitude is good, so everyone naturally goes there to eat. It's a good opportunity. If I hadn't made it to the oil field, I'd do it. ”

Hu Dong had a hesitant look on his face, and it was obvious that although he needed a job, he still felt a little awkward about this kind of individual restaurant.

"Dongzi, you are a soldier, didn't Sun Tzu say the Art of War? The so-called impermanence of soldiers, impermanence of water, no matter what we do at the beginning, if we do a good job, we can all get ahead. Zhao Yuemin said vigorously. When he used to go to school, he occasionally flipped through the bookcase, and there were a few economic books published abroad in Chinese translation, all of which were secretly hidden by Zhao Chunda, who had returned from studying abroad. Therefore, he has no aversion to doing business as an individual.

Heavy snow fell in front of the restaurant.

Zhao Yuemin solemnly patted Hu Dong's shoulder and said, "Dongzi, heroes can bend and stretch." I think that no matter what you do, as long as you can do it well, you will have a bright future. Liu Bei sells straw sandals, isn't he also the master of Shu Han? Isn't it also a good thing for us to be self-employed, not to ask the state for money and food, and to find employment by ourselves? Maybe the state will praise us. ”

Hu Dong grinned, a little shaken, and he smiled: "Yuemin, you are eloquent when you are young." I can't talk about you. That...... You said...... What do we do? Do we also dry restaurants? How can the brothers have a venue, how can they have money? ”

Zhao Yuemin thought for a while and said, "Dongzi, let's start a restaurant at the beginning, but it is estimated that it will not work." Whether it's money or craftsmanship, it's not in place. Your Dongzi graduated from the reconnaissance company, not the cooking class. ”

"Why don't we get a charcoal stove and set up a barbecue stand. Our drilling team drilled wells in the wasteland fifty kilometers from the town. There was nothing but an extremely unpalatable cafeteria. We have more than 100 people in drilling and logistics, and we only eat coarse grain steamed buns every day, and the vegetables are boiled radishes and boiled potatoes, and there is no trick in turning over and over. Although it is a call for hard work and simplicity, everyone is actually a little tired of eating. If you can set up a barbecue stand there and give everyone a change of taste. I think business must be doing well. Zhao Yuemin looked at the dense snowflakes in the dark night and proposed.

Hu Dong squinted his eyes and nodded, suddenly remembered a question, and asked: "Yuemin, barbecue, barbecue, you must want meat." If I roast vegetables and potatoes all day, it's not attractive...... Where did I get so much meat......

In the 70s, there was a shortage of materials, and grain, oil and meat were distributed by the state. Every family can't have enough to eat, let alone provide for others. In this regard, the state-run restaurant has a large supply of fresh meat in the plan, but it has an incomparable advantage.

When it comes to this difficulty, I have to say that Zhao Yuemin's brain is flexible.

"Dongzi, meat is easy to do." He smiled, "You forgot, when we were young, didn't we have no meat to eat in winter?" Go to the snow to catch birds and fish in the ice lakes. You can also gain a lot every day. Now your brothers in the town are idle, let's go out together! ”

Hu Dong's eyes lit up. He also seemed to feel that Zhao Yuemin's plan was very feasible. With Zhao Yuemin's encouragement, Hu Dong immediately began to plan. Anyway, Zhao Yuemin has also rested in the team for the past two days, so he didn't need to go to the well team, so he helped Hu Dong make a simple iron charcoal stove and made a barbecue grill with iron wire.

Then, Hu Dong took the young people in the town to look for hares and sparrows all over the town. These people have been doing this since they were children, so the success rate is not low, and within half a day, they got back seven or eight sparrows and two hares.

A day later, next to Zhao Yuemin's drilling camp, a small barbecue stand appeared. When the drillers returned to the camp after work, they were surprised to smell the smell of barbecue.

When I walked up, Hu Dong was skewered rabbit meat with an iron chisel, brushed with vegetable oil, and roasted until it was brown and crispy.

This can make the drilling workers who have been swallowing cabbage and potatoes on the well for half a month hungry, and directly surround them to ask the price.

Hu Dongding's price is also fair, grilled fish and roast rabbit meat triangular money for a skewer, sparrow meat for two dimes a skewer, and other vegetarian meat ranging from three to five cents.

This grilled meat, with salt and pepper and chili peppers, is fragrant. The workers could not resist the temptation and paid for it.

In less than two hours, the more than 100 skewers prepared by Hu Dong were sold out, earning twenty yuan. A few young men selling barbecue were stunned, and in just one day, they made a net profit of twenty.

The monthly salary of skilled workers is more than 50, and they earn 20 a day according to Zhao Yuemin's plan.

Several people immediately decided to hold high the great banner of Comrade Zhao Yuemin's ideology, and carry out the barbecue stall business to the end without asking the state for food.

When Zhao Yuemin finished work, he ran to Hu Dong's side and joked shoulder to shoulder. There were a few nosy people in this camp, but when they saw that the barbecue was a friend of Zhao Yuemin, the leader of the fifth group, they turned a blind eye.

In order to let Hu Dong and others catch hares more efficiently, Zhao Yuemin tried to say good things to Wang Wei, the deputy captain, and lent the jeeps and wolf dogs of the drilling team to Hu Dong.

At this time, Hu Dong and others were like tigers, driving jeeps to chase hares, chasing hares until the hares were exhausted and then letting the dogs go, and the efficiency was greatly improved.

The supply of roast rabbit meat has doubled. The deputy captain Wang Wei returned to the dormitory after work, and habitually asked Hu Dong to buy a few skewers.

Two weeks later, Hu Dong came to the dormitory to find Zhao Yuemin.

"Yuemin, this is your part."

Hu Dong took out ten large unity sheets from his pocket and placed them at the head of Zhao Yuemin's bed......
