59 years after its opening, people are still in Nanluoguxiang.

"Ride slowly on the road and watch out for the big cars. There are a lot of them over there."

Guo Chunhua couldn't help but give a few more instructions.

There is no such thing as fraud nowadays. Even if someone does, they will be sent directly to the respective factory hospitals.

If you try to scam people and are reported, you will be treated as a gangster in the Republic of China and sent to labor reform.

Anyone with a normal mind would not play this kind of moral blackmail game.

"I know, Auntie, don't worry." Chen Hao said nonchalantly.

After saying goodbye to Guo Chunhua, I rode my bike westward along the street.

The streets are still very prosperous. In addition to more than 80% of the businesses being state-owned enterprises, there are also some individual businesses, making the streets of the old city very prosperous.

Yes, in the 1960s and 1970s, there were individual workers, such as small vendors walking around the streets, barbers, tailors, shoemakers, traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, and handicraftsmen.

You can only operate it with a license, and it is illegal without a license.

Although the development of self-employed businesses was restricted, they still existed, but with fewer people and fewer businesses. The license for self-employed businesses expired in 62 (According to the Shanghai Annals, Shanghai began to withdraw and merge commercial outlets on a large scale in 1966, reducing the number of self-employed businesses from 1966 in 3.96 to 1976 in 2.95, and the number of self-employed businesses from 6448 to 436. The number of self-employed vendors decreased from 3.6 to 8327.)

The issuance of new such individuals basically stopped after the Great Leap Forward, and in the 60s and 70s, they were mainly existing self-employed individuals (a very small number of those with strong connections could be approved, provided they were not afraid of the consequences).

The idea at the time was that individuals would die naturally.

They are also subject to very strict management, and are strictly prohibited from buying low and selling high.

But the advantage is that with a legal license, you can purchase low-priced legal supplies from official channels, such as traditional Chinese medicine, shoe leather, cloth, etc.

These self-employed people who stick to their ancestral business are very admirable, but most of them had a hard time in the following years (just look at the data). Cai Jiaxing's master's family used to be a self-employed person, but his master did not stick to his ancestral business and craftsmanship. He resolutely welcomed the new society and chose to work in a lumber mill. He became a master craftsman in the lumber mill and actually lived a very comfortable life.

"Come and see, come and buy some candied haws!"

"Big pot, candied haws!" Chen Li heard the sound of selling candied haws and immediately stood up and looked towards the source of the sound.

Zhang Haixing waved at the vendor.

“Three strings of candied haws!”

"coming!"

The peddler came jogging over and Chen Feng had to stop.

Zhang Haixing bought three skewers. Chen Li held her own skewers towards Chen Feng and said, "Big pot, you have one."

"I won't eat it, you eat it yourself."

"Little sister, give me one." Chen Hao said as he licked his face.

"Only one!" the little girl said vigilantly.

"I promise to only eat one." Chen Hao smiled happily, took a bite and left.

Fatty Wang also came over, and Chen Li immediately took the candied haws back.

"Xiao Jie, give one to Fatty Brother."

"What about your brother Bayi?" Fatty Wang asked for trouble, looking at Zhang Haixiong.

"Fatty, let's practice when we come back." Zhang Haixing sneered while biting a candied haws.

Fatty Wang smiled awkwardly and asked for a candied haws from Li Jie.

Chen Feng thought of the money he earned from selling meat this morning and said with a smile, "I forgot to tell you four that I sold meat to the steel mill and canning factory this morning. In addition to the things I got in return, I also earned more than 300 yuan."

"Comrade Zhang, according to our rules for going up the mountain, you can take 30%, do you want it?"

Zhang Haixing's eyes lit up and she smiled happily.

"Of course I do. I'm very poor and you've exploited me so much that I have no place to eat."

Chen Feng gave her 100 yuan, and gave Chen Hao and the other three 10 yuan each as a reward for their hard work.

"Hahaha!"

Chen Hao and Fatty Wang laughed wildly in the street, looking like fools.

Chen Li stared at the ten one-dollar bills in Chen Hao's hand and almost drooled.

"Erguo, Erguo, I want to eat ice cream."

"Hehe, buy it!" Now that Chen Hao has money, he is willing to spend it.

There was no hesitation at all in response to my younger sister's request.

"Buy nothing? There's no cold food store here." Fatty Wang rolled his eyes and happily counted ten one-dollar bills.

In the 1960s, the main places to buy ice cream in Beijing included the Forbidden City store and the Ermiaotang cold food shop in Qianmen Dashilan.

In the 1960s, the Forbidden City store sold cream popsicles for 5 cents, while Ermiaotang Cold Food Shop produced and sold its own "domestic ice cream". Although it was more expensive, it quickly became popular because of its good taste and ease of production.

In addition, there are other time-honored ice cream shops, such as Wu Yutai Flower Tea Ice Cream, Daoxiangcun Erbajiang Ice Cream, Liubiju Black Garlic Ice Cream and Huguosi Pea Yellow Ice Cream.

The price is a bit ridiculously expensive!

For example, Wu Yutai's tea ice cream comes in two flavors: matcha and scented tea, and costs about 9 yuan a bucket; Daoxiangcun's Erbajiang ice cream combines the unique flavor of sesame paste and costs 8 yuan a bucket; Huguosi's pea yellow ice cream is popular for its soft and glutinous taste, and also costs 8 yuan a bucket.

"Let's go to Huguo Temple. The pea yellow ice cream there is not bad either." Chen Feng is very familiar with this area, thanks to his second uncle Chen Jianguo, a salary thief and public servant thief who has nothing to do all day and likes to fish in troubled waters.

The original body had often been taken around by his second uncle on a borrowed three-wheeled motorcycle, visiting all the delicious and dangerous places in the city.

Chen Jianguo’s meaning was simple: this is my eldest nephew, please be more careful and get to know him.

"Hurray, buy some ice cream!" Chen Li cheered.

Li Jie was also happily biting the candied haws.

Fatty Wang winked at Chen Hao and said, "Ice cream!"

Chen Hao also wanted to save face. He agreed on impulse just now. Even though his heart was bleeding, he had to snort coldly: "It's just a few dollars!"

Hu Bayi smiled and said, "Let's go out together. We didn't do anything last time we went up the mountain."

"Haha, Haozi, call me brother and I will give you two dollars to support you." Fatty Wang took advantage of the situation.

"Bah, Fatty, you are my brother!" Chen Hao wanted to nod in his heart, but he was being tough.

Li Jie raised his hand and showed his own two-cent coin.

"Brother Chen Hao, I have money too. I'll buy it for you."

"Haha, Xiao Jie, you are so good!" Chen Hao said happily.

Two cents can only buy a small cup at most, but it is the little guy's thought!

The thoughtfulness is the most precious!
