Compared with the provincial capital, the county seat is naturally much worse, but it is more lively and prosperous than the countryside, and there are some small shops on the street.

In 1978, the Third Plenary Session of the 11 th CPC Central Committee put forward the policy of internal reform and opening up to the outside world.

The internal reform was the first to lift the ban on industry and commerce, but this policy was really implemented in the second half of 1979, and when Mu Xiu was in the provincial capital, the provincial capital had not yet been implemented.

Unexpectedly, during the busy period of returning to the countryside, the county has begun to loosen up, and you can do business personally, but the management is still relatively strict, and individual practitioners must apply to the jurisdiction, and the competent department will put forward specific opinions, and then the business license will be issued after being reviewed by the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.

Most people were still skeptical about the state's encouragement of individual and private economic development, and most of the first daring people were engaged in repairs, hairdressers, sewing, breakfast shops, grocery stores, and snack shops.

However, in order to avoid risks, most of the business license applications of small stall vendors are written "trial operation." ”

At the same time, due to the unclear policy, the industrial and commercial bureau clearly informed the applicant at the time of license issuance that the license could only be used for personal use and could not be hired or helped.

For the kind of itinerant traffickers on the street, they will still be arrested, and the black market is still not allowed.

Mu Xiu walked all the way, and when he saw the signboards hanging Zhang's tailoring, Peng's repair, and Lao Su's haircut, he already knew in his heart that in the next few years, there will be a large number of people doing business, and the country will enter a rapid development.

However, now peasant households are not allowed to do business, and the state policy stipulates that rural members are not allowed to abandon agriculture to engage in business, but they are allowed to sell vegetables and grain in the name of teams and cooperatives.

Mu Xiu spent 1 cent to cut her hair on the side of the road, only then did she find out about this, this news made her very disappointed, their whole family is a rural member, and if they want to do business, they must go through the name of the production team.......

It seems that you still can't sell things openly, otherwise you can get rid of poverty and become rich soon by opening a grocery store with space things.

"Alas, it's true, this girl will get married tomorrow, and she told a few people last week that she would line up to buy meat together, who knows, this is counted, and there are five chickens and more than ten catties of pork missing, which is really sad." A low voice sounded behind Mu Xiu.

Mu Xiu turned his head and just saw that around the corner, the two old ladies walked into the alley while talking, and Mu Xiu hurriedly followed.

"Sister Hao, it's a happy event for my daughter to get married, but now it's hard to buy meat, so it's a little less on each table, everyone will understand." Another calm voice persuaded.

"Dachun's family, we got married at that time, how cold, now, the child is married, and it is a high marriage, the first I don't want the child to be wronged, and the second is not to let the in-laws look down on us, but I said at the beginning, my family is out of meat." Sister Hao said with some melancholy.

"It's too late for tomorrow's noon banquet, if it doesn't work, let's try our luck on the black market." The Oharu family sighed.

"I'll go to the sister-in-law of the Wang family to see how many chickens she can get, and then go to the black market to have a look, you go back first, I'll go." After Sister Hao finished speaking, she turned to the path on the left.

Mu Xiu looked around, and immediately turned into the path on the left beside him, the two paths were parallel, Mu Xiu trotted all the way, and finally ran out, looking forward, the eldest sister Hao who spoke just now hurriedly walked towards her.

Mu Xiu put five chickens and pork in the back basket, she pretended to be in a hurry and walked over, and the two of them collided together.

"Oops."

"Oops."

Two voices sounded at the same time, Mu Xiu fell to the ground, and a chicken in the back basket was exposed.

"Oh my God, my chicken." Mu Xiu hurriedly stood up, and the ash on his body didn't have time to beat, so he hurriedly stuffed the half-exposed chicken into the back basket, and turned around to leave.

Sister Hao's eyes lit up after seeing the chicken, and she immediately stopped the words of blame, and stepped forward to stop Mu Xiu,

"Wait a minute, little girl."

"What do you do?" Mu Xiu pretended to look at her vigilantly.

"Little girl, where did you get this chicken?" Sister Hao squeezed out a smile and tried to look as gentle as possible.

"I'm home-raised." Mu Xiu said.

"Are you going to sell the chickens?" Sister Hao asked.

Mu Xiu pretended to be surprised and replied, "How do you know?" ”

Sister Hao breathed a sigh of relief, seeing how Mu Xiu was dressed, she was poor at home, how could she be willing to eat chicken, and she would take it out for sale at a glance.

"You don't care how I know, how many chickens you have, I want them all." Sister Hao took out the money directly from her pocket.

"Auntie, this is my family's chickens, there are five, the family is in urgent need of money, my mother killed the chickens, let me take them out to sell." Mu Xiu said.

Sister Hao looked at what Mu Xiu said as if it was a lie, and the direction she was taking was also the way to go to the black market, so she said: "At the current market price, one pound of chicken is three or one pound a piece, and I will pay one dollar and five pounds, whether you can sell it or not." ”

"Auntie, your price is a little low, isn't it?" Mu Xiu pretended to be embarrassed, since the market price is three yuan, then there will be at least two yuan in the black market!

"Then a piece of eight, little girl, do you think this will work? I use this chicken for wine, so I bought so much, otherwise who can buy five in one go? Even if you sell it, if you can't sell it today, you won't be able to sell it tomorrow. Sister Hao looked at the little girl in front of her and hesitated, she increased the price again, and then persuaded her.

"Cheng, then the deal, look at it, how fresh this chicken is, it was only killed in the morning." Mu Xiu lifted the back basket, revealing the chicken inside.

Sister Hao stretched her head over, saw the things inside, her heart was overjoyed, and she said secretly, I really had good luck today, this chicken, just look at the color, I just killed it for a short time, and it is still very fresh.

"Little girl, thank you so much, hey, why do you still have pork here?" Sister Hao's eyes were sharp, and she saw the pork in Mu Xiu's back basket.

"What do you want to do?" Mu Xiu asked with a wary face.

"Sell me all this pork! Little girl, I am in an emergency, thank you so much, I will not lose you pork, now the pork on the market is 9 cents and 5 cents, so let's do it, I will pay a piece of 21 pounds, I want these. Sister Hao said anxiously.

"Auntie, you also know that selling meat also requires meat tickets...... "It's no wonder that Mu Xiu always bargains, but the price given by this Sister Hao always feels unreal.

"You little girl, that's a piece of five, don't you think?"
