Wang Manyin certainly didn't choose to go to a breakfast shop and choose a big bowl of tea on the street just to save money.
At the tea stall, there are many people chatting, and naturally there are many kinds of news.
Even if the provincial capital is not large now, it is still relatively small.
Wang Manyin could not figure out all kinds of situations just by coming here a few times, not to mention that Wang Manyin came to the provincial capital to discover some business opportunities.
There were a lot of people at the tea stall, and a few people also bought large bowls of tea and their own bread for breakfast.
There was a donkey cart parked near the tea stall, and Wang Manyin secretly guessed that it might be a farmer from the suburbs who came to the city to sell vegetables.
There were also a few people sitting in a group, some men in their fifties and sixties, drinking tea and chatting leisurely.
This should be a retired man from nearby who came out for a walk when he was bored.
Wang Manyin was not in a hurry, eating pancakes and listening to the chatting of the elders.
There is a lot of information, but Wang Manyin, who is unfamiliar with the East family and the West family, does not care.
But there is still a lot of useful information.
"Are you sure your younger son has a job? Or does he go out to practice stalls every day?"
"So many people have returned to the city, and we have to line up to sweep the streets. My third son has taken over my job. I really have nothing to do with my younger son. He doesn't want to eat and drink at home for free, so I can't do anything to him.
"
A sturdy man in his fifties said in a tone that sounded like he was sighing and proud.
The expression is also very complicated.
Through chatting with several people, Wang Manyin learned that this uncle was a worker in a machinery factory.
Wang Manyin also knew that these uncles didn't look young, but they were really young. They basically had children at home who had returned from the countryside.
In order for their children to have jobs, they all chose to retire early and let their children take over the job.
The uncle had a complicated expression, and Wang Manyin could probably guess what was going on in his heart, sighing that he was unable to find a job for his child.
For young people to practice stalls and do small businesses, there is nothing wrong with rural people and they will not be discriminated against.
However, in the city, without a formal job, it means that there is no future. A job means more than just an income.
The factory represents an "iron rice bowl". With a job, you don't have to worry about life, old age, illness or death.
The most practical thing is that without a job, there will be no unit to allocate housing, and there will be no place to live.
If you have a formal job, although you won't be assigned a house immediately, you will always be assigned your own house after waiting and queuing up.
These educated youths who have returned to their hometowns are not too young and are obviously old enough to propose marriage.
Without a job, regardless of gender, those who want to marry are at the bottom of the marriage and love market.
The uncle also has reason to be proud. Although practicing stalls doesn’t sound good, the children can finally be self-reliant.
More young people who cannot find a job are living at home, going out on the streets, fighting, and causing trouble. Of course, they are much better than these street stalls.
When the elders reached the stage of daily praising their children, Wang Manyin took a cigarette and sat near the elders.
"Uncle, I just came to the provincial capital. Can some of you help introduce the lively places in the provincial capital?"
Most of the elderly people were old smokers. Wang Manyin handed it to the front door and struck up a conversation with several uncles.
"Hunter, where are you from?"
"I am from Huangyuanxi."
Wang Manyin once again took advantage of his hometown, although no matter what period of time, there is a phenomenon that city people look down on rural people.
But the respect for the old revolutionary base has always existed, especially for these elderly people, who feel deeper.
He was very enthusiastic about Wang Manyin. Wang Manyin was not in a hurry, and the uncles were fine. Wang Manyin and the uncles chatted for a long time.
Wang Manyin learned a lot about the situation in provincial capitals and gave Wang Manyin a lot of advice on everything from eating, drinking and playing.
Wang Manyin also figured out where there was a wholesale market in the provincial capital, where stalls could be set up, and where there were many people from outside the city.
After adding another bowl of tea to the elders, Wang Manyin set off to the vicinity of the People's Building.
Later I discovered that even in a provincial town, there are not many cars.
It's not far from the train station, and there are more buses and trams. After leaving, the provincial capital still has the most bicycles, and there are also many ox-carts and donkey-carts.
However, there are too many bicycles compared to Shigejie and Yuanxi.
Bicycles are considered a luxury item in rural areas, but they can be said to be a necessity in cities.
On the first day, Wang Manyin walked around the bustling commercial streets of Xi'an.
The popular trend is obviously that the southern trend is sweeping to the north, developing from the provincial capital to Huangyuan, Huangyuan to Yuanxi, and finally to the Shige Festival.
"Three turns and one beep" is no longer unusual in provincial capitals, these products can only be considered ordinary.
TV series, tape recorders, tapes, these are the hot items.
The clothing style is not as fast as Wang Manyin imagined. It is still floral shirts, toad glasses, and bell-bottom pants. Women's clothing is still mainly plain dresses and bodybuilding pants.
There are many clothes made of chemical materials with bright colors, but not many people wear clothes with bright colors such as bright red.
Anyone who dares to wear these is someone who is at the forefront of fashion even in a provincial capital. This kind of clothes is obviously not suitable in Yuanxi.
The next day, Wang Manyin visited more streets and alleys. A food street had initially formed in the provincial capital, and there were really many types of snacks.
Wang Manyin ate a lot and bought a lot that could be stored.
I also saw a lot of people doing business and setting up stalls, and the products were diverse, but obviously the southern products were doing better.
There are many universities in the provincial capital, and students are also a group of people who follow popular trends. In order to understand more, Wang Manyin also went to the vicinity of the school.
The most popular thing among students is cassettes. Wang Manyin saw more than one vendor selling cassettes near the school.
Sneaky and sneaky, very similar to those people who would ask "Do you want a butterfly" when meeting someone more than ten years later?
The supply of tapes simply exceeded demand, and the price shocked Wang Manyin. It was half as expensive as the huge profits Wang Manyin had imagined.
Wang Manyin really knew a few college students. Wang Manyin's books were not lent out in vain. There was another local student who was admitted to college and two educated youths who went to the countryside near Gujin Village.
However, the relationship between Wang Manyin and the three people was just a matter of borrowing books, and their relationship was not deep enough that they would not come to the school specifically to find someone to reminisce about the past.
When friendship came to Wang Manyin, the only one worth looking for was Tian Runye.
However, Wang Manyin helped Run Ye go to college, just so that Run Ye could leave Yuan Xi, change the environment, forget Shaoan, forget Yuan Xi's unhappiness, and start a new life.
Since he would not come to disturb Runye's school life, Wang Manyin went outside several universities to check out the situation, but did not even enter the school gates.
On the third day, Wang Manyin started to get really busy with business.
He planned to first batch a batch of goods and go back to Yuanxi to test the situation, so Wang Manyin was looking for southerners who came to the provincial capital to do business.
