"Here you go!" The young man took out two five-yuan bills and handed them to Fangyuan.

"Pay the money over there." Fang Yuan pointed at the fat uncle.

"Oh! Okay."

In fact, what Fangyuan didn't know was that there were quite a lot of people coming from other places to buy meat from him. There was no way around it. Even though the reform and opening up had begun, meat stamps were still required to buy meat.

It’s not just about buying meat, it’s the same when buying other things. To put it bluntly, we are still in a planned economy and have not yet reached the stage of a market economy.

"What do you want?" Fangyuan asked quickly when he saw an old man walking over.

"Little comrade, I want a chicken."

"I want chicken! Wait a minute." Fangyuan quickly took out a white-striped chicken.

Although Fangyuan's chickens are about the same size, they are still different in size. For example, for live chickens, it is normal for them to differ by about half a catty.

But even the smallest one weighed more than 11 pounds when alive, so Fangyuan still sells them by the piece, which is easier.

"This one is a little bigger, what do you think?"

"Okay, okay." The old man nodded quickly and said.

"Yeah! I'll wrap it up for you, and you can pay over there."

"I know." After the old man said that, he went to the fat uncle to pay the money.

Fangyuan quickly took out a relatively large piece of oil paper to help the old man wrap it up, and tied it with straw rope.

It's a pity that there are no plastic bags now, otherwise it wouldn't be such a troublesome thing. In fact, it's better not to have plastic bags, and it won't pollute the environment.

You must know that even if a plastic bag is buried underground, it will not dissolve in five hundred years. Oil paper will not and can be recycled and reused. Even if it is not recycled, it will not take long to dissolve after being buried underground.

Customers came in one after another, bought meat and left. Fangyuan was still very satisfied in his heart. He didn't know if he was bringing benefits to the people.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the butcher's shop closed and after letting the clerk go back, Fangyuan counted the money with Uncle Fat.

We prepared as many things today as yesterday, but only about two-thirds of what we sold yesterday was normal. There were too many people yesterday.

Anyway, no matter what, today is not bad. To be honest, I will be very happy if I can sell one-third of the first day’s square meters every day.

You have to know that one-third is also 10,000 yuan! Ten thousand yuan a day is more than 3 million yuan a year.

Not to mention in this era, even in later generations, this is still a lot, and this is still talking about sales.

Excluding rent, water and electricity, even if the profit is only 10%, it is more than 300,000 yuan a year!

The meat sold here in Fangyuan has no cost at all, which means it is a net profit.

Of course, this is just a small fuss for Fangyuan. He also wants to clean up the space inventory. If he doesn't clean it up, the inventory will become more and more.

It's a pity that even if it sold for 30,000 yuan a day yesterday, there is still no room to produce more.

Another month passed in the blink of an eye, and it was December. The weather was getting colder and colder, and snowflakes were falling outside.

Meat tickets have become regular, and Fangyuan now basically doesn’t come over at other times except delivering meat to the butcher shop every morning.

For convenience, Fangyuan also opened an account for the butcher shop, and Uncle Fatty would deposit the money from daily sales into the bank.

Just when Fangyuan was still complacent, the incident in Xiaogang Village was exposed.

Before 1978, Xiaogang was famous as a "three-reliance village" that relied on resales for food, relief for money, and loans for production. Most of the villagers had gone out to beg for food.

In the winter of 1978, Xiaogang Village implemented a household-based production contract system, and achieved food and clothing by the autumn of the next year.

Before 1978, the average annual per capita ration in Xiaogang Village was more than 40 kilograms, and almost every household had a history of going out to beg for food.

In the autumn of 1979, the Xiaogang production team had a great harvest, with a total grain output of more than 60,000 kilograms, equivalent to the total grain output in the fifteen years from 1955 to 1970, since 1956.

For the first time since the establishment of cooperatives in 2007, 12,488 kilograms of public grain were handed over to the country.

It was also because of this incident in Xiaogang Village that household distribution of farmland was implemented in some places and then spread across the country.

At the same time, the old man also spoke, and he could speed up the pace.

To be honest, dividing farmland into households is definitely a good thing for the people, because it prevents some people from fishing in troubled waters.

When working together, it's okay for you to be lazy, but after the fields are divided into households, if you try to be lazy again, you deserve to be without food.

It can be said that it has stimulated the enthusiasm of farmers. Although it cannot be said that all the work of farmers is done for themselves, at least a large part of it is done for themselves.

At this time, Fangyuan also returned to Qinghe. When he came back this time, he not only came to see his master and his mother, but also came back to see his eldest sister.

The eldest sister is also in her thirties and is still a high school student. She has been working in the supply and marketing cooperative these years.

Although she has not yet held an official position, she can be considered an old employee.

Of course, Fangyuan couldn't let the eldest sister stay in the supply and marketing cooperative. No, he was going to find a job for the eldest sister.

After dinner that night, the family was sitting in the living room drinking tea and watching TV. At this time, Fangyuan said to the eldest sister: "Sister, you should resign!"

"Uh!" When the eldest sister heard what Fangyuan said, she was stunned for a moment, touched Fangyuan's head and asked, "Little brother, you don't have a fever, do you?"

"Sister, what are you talking about? I'm fine!" Fang Yuan said, pushing the eldest sister's hand away.

"You're talking nonsense if I don't have a fever. I'm doing a good job at the supply and marketing cooperative. Why should I resign?"

"Yes, son, why did you ask your eldest sister to resign?" Mom also turned around and asked.

The master didn't speak, he just took a look. Although the master didn't know exactly what Fangyuan was doing in the city, he knew more than his eldest sister and mother.

"Mom, eldest sister, it's like this. I'm going to open a store in the city, and I want eldest sister to help me."

"What are you talking about? Opening a store? What kind of store?" asked the third sister, her eyes brightening.

You must know that when Fangyuan hired people from the woolen mill to open a restaurant, the third sister wanted to go, but Fangyuan did not agree. Now that Fangyuan said he was going to open a restaurant again, how could she not be moved.

Not only the third sister, but also my mother and eldest sister are looking at Fangyuan. They probably also want to know what store Fangyuan is going to open.

But there is one difference. The third sister is excited, while the mother and the eldest sister want to know if there are any risks in opening a store in Fangyuan.

It can be said that these are completely two concepts, especially for my mother. She does not want her children to be rich and powerful, she only wants to be safe and sound.

"That's right, I want to open a real estate agency."

"Housing agency? What kind of company is this? Why haven't you heard of it?" Mom asked directly.

"Yes! Brother, what does this housing agency do?" the eldest sister also asked.

"Mom, eldest sister, this housing agency actually provides a platform for everyone. Now with the reform and opening up, many people need to rent houses for business, and the agency provides them with information."

"Provide information! How to provide it?" the eldest sister frowned and asked.

"It's like this. After we set up the company, people who want to rent out their houses can come to our company to register for free. And if they want to rent a house for business, they can come to our company and we will charge a certain fee."

"Son, aren't you speculating?" Mom frowned and said.

"Mom, how can this be called speculation? We provide services to others, don't let them run around, and then charge a certain amount of information fees. This is called income from labor."

The master who had been silent for a long time nodded and said: "This is a good idea. Some people want to rent out the house, and some want to rent the house for business. The information is not clear. If someone can match them from the middle, then it can be saved."

Cause a lot of trouble.”

"Yes, Master, that's what I think. And this is just the first step. The next step is to increase the number of house sales. Of course, I will also provide services."

"Brother, is this really okay?" Mom looked at Master and asked.

"Why not? On the contrary, I think what Fangyuan is doing is a good thing. It is natural to help others solve their problems and receive some benefits in the process."

"This..." Mom frowned, not knowing what to say.

"Brother, if the eldest sister doesn't want to do it, leave it to me! I'll do it." The third sister quickly walked up to Fangyuan and said.

"Third sister, it's not that I won't let you do it, but you really can't do this." Fang Yuan said with a wry smile.

"Why?"

"Third sister, you think it's as simple as what I said! There are many things involved, such as registration. With your academic qualifications, you probably won't be able to do it."

"Uh!" The third sister was stunned for a moment, and then fell silent.

Because Fangyuan is right! With her academic qualifications, she is indeed not qualified. Also, she has been working in a factory these years and has no use for what she learned in school. She probably gave it back to the teacher all these years.

But the eldest sister is different! The eldest sister has a high school degree and has been working in a supply and marketing cooperative these years. She has to write and do calculations every day. Not all the things she learned before have been forgotten.

"I said, little brother, you are too biased! Many of the waiters you recruited in the past were not as well educated as me! Didn't you also use them, and they make much more than me now?"

Hearing what Third Sister said, Fangyuan rolled her eyes and said, "Third Sister, you are too heartless to say this. The money I give you every month is several times more than their salary.

This doesn’t include the money to buy you clothes and things.”

As soon as Fangyuan finished speaking, the third sister blushed, but she still said: "This is different. What you give is what you give me. What I'm talking about is the salary. Besides, you don't want your third sister to be in the factory."

Let’s do this for the rest of our lives!”

Third Sister's words made Fang Yuan shake her head and said, "Third Sister, if you want to do something, it's not impossible, but you have to find what you lost before."

"Thrown thing? What thing?" Third Sister looked at Fang Yuan and asked.

"book."……
