Siheyuan: Starting at 52, I, He Daqing, will not run away

Chapter 74



Sixty-six yuan of betrothal gifts.

Hearing this, the relatives of Lao Qin's family were in an uproar again.

If it was in the city of Beijing, sixty-six yuan of betrothal gifts, although much, were not too much.

After all, in a steel rolling mill, the salary of a first-level formal worker is twenty-seven and a half yuan, and sixty-six yuan is only two and a half months' salary.

Even if you were in the future, you would be embarrassed to give out such a betrothal gift.

But sixty-six yuan of betrothal gifts are definitely high-priced betrothal gifts for the villagers.

Because in the countryside of this era, after working for a year and harvesting grain, at most, after paying the public grain, it can only feed your family. It is already very good to save ten yuan throughout the year.

Sixty-six yuan is equivalent to several years of income.

In terms of grain, it can buy more than a thousand kilograms of fine grains, or two or three thousand kilograms of coarse grains, which is enough for a family to eat for a year.

Therefore, the relatives of Lao Qin's family were shocked by the betrothal gifts given by the Qing Dynasty. Rather than saying that the betrothal gifts in this era were small, it is better to say that the gap between the rich and the poor in this era was too large.

The income of a rural farmer after working hard for a year is not as much as that of a city worker in a month.

The income of a city worker in a month is not as much as the revenue and profit of a small business owner in a day.

The profit of a small business owner in a year is not as much as the profit of a capitalist in a day.

So, it is not that the people of this era are poor, but that the farmers and the lower class of this era are too poor.

"Enough, enough."

Qin Shouyi came back to his senses, handed the red envelope to Qin's mother, and said happily:"As long as Zhuzi and Huairu can live a good life, the betrothal gift doesn't matter."

Qin's mother took the red envelope, and the engagement was basically completed.

The marriage between He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu, a man and woman 797 that both parties are satisfied with, is settled, and the rest is to get the certificate and hold a wedding banquet.

Of course, because of Sha Zhu's age, this may have to wait for two years.

The old Qin family has no objection to this.

The two families have already discussed that as soon as Sha Zhu reaches the age, they will immediately arrange for the two to get the certificate and get married.

The engagement gift from the old He family is generous.

The old Qin family is not stingy either.

At noon, six tables of banquets were held. The standard of the banquet was very high, and each table had eight dishes with both meat and vegetables.

There was also a pack of cigarettes and a bottle of wine on the men's table, and peanuts, melon seeds, candies, and syrups on the women's table and the children's table. If it tastes good, then drink more, if not, If it's delicious, then drink less.

If you calculate it, the cost of a table must be seven or eight yuan, which is definitely not a small amount.

Of course, there must be enough wine on the main table. Although it's not good wine, it's not stingy.

Finally, the elders who should be invited were invited, and none of them were left out.

Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals.

Although the number of people is not equal, the etiquette cannot be messed up.

In particular, when the people of the Qin family knew that Guan Yushan was the second uncle of He Daqing and the great uncle of Sha Zhu, two elders of the Qin family came out to accompany him.

There were also two uncles of Qin Huairu who were responsible for adding tea and pouring wine on the side, and they would never let the teacups and wine cups be empty.

As for He Daqing and his cousin Guan Yushan, they were also specially entertained by Qin Shouyi and his brothers, including Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu's eldest brother. The second brother waited on the side to accompany them.

The third aunt, the matchmaker, was treated specially by the women of the Qin family. An entire table was reserved for her alone, and peanuts, melon seeds, candies and other things were provided.

Finally, it was Xiao Yushui who was arranged to sit at Qin Huairu's table, accompanied by several girls of the same age.

Looking at the situation (baaa) and the scale of the banquet, it was completely arranged as a wedding banquet.

With these tables of banquets, if the Qin family regrets the engagement later, the He family probably won't even have to ask for anything. The Qin family's relatives and elders alone can drown them with saliva, and Qin Shouyi's family will never be able to raise their heads in Qinjiazhuang again.

This can be regarded as an attitude to the He family.

The Qin family's relatives had a meal at noon, and after staying for a while, they They all left.

They came here today just to see what Huairu's boyfriend looks like and get to know him so that they won't be estranged when they meet in the future.

Several uncles of Qin Huairu, as well as people who have a good relationship with him in the village, were kept by Qin's father to accompany He Daqing and the father and son of Guan Yushan to drink tea and chat.

As for the boy Sha Zhu, he went to Qin Huairu's room to have a private chat with Qin Huairu. It was not until after four o'clock in the afternoon that the engagement banquet was really over.

Everyone in the old Qin family sent He Daqing and others to the entrance of the alley.

He Daqing smoked a cigarette with Qin Shouyi and others, chatted for a while at the entrance of the alley, and gave some candies to the children of the old Qin family. Then, they rode their bicycles away as everyone saw them off.

""Ziqing, tell your dad to ride slowly on the road, don't fall."

On the way back, He Daqing rode his bike with Xiao Yushui on his back and greeted his cousin Guan Ziqing.

There were four men at the engagement party this time, and one of them died in the end, that is, He Daqing's second uncle Guan Yushan.

There was no way.

Who made him sit at the main table, so people had to force him to drink as much as possible.

Even if the old Qin family prepared less wine, he would be drunk.

Of course, He Daqing did not drink less, but his physique is different from that of ordinary people, and his alcohol tolerance has become unusually good. Although he was forced to drink a lot of wine, he was energetic and not drunk.

But this is also related to the lack of preparation of the old Qin family.

If they really prepared a few boxes of good wine, and then Qin Shouyi and the other brothers took turns together, they would definitely be able to make He Daqing drunk.

Unfortunately, the wine these days is not only expensive, but also affected by Due to the control from above, it is very difficult to buy in rural areas.

So it is understandable that the Qin family is not well prepared in terms of wine.

In fact, as early as the year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the government held the first wine industry management meeting and decided to implement a monopoly on wine and stop private operations.

In May last year, the government held the first national monopoly meeting.

It clarified that the monopoly policy is an integral part of the national financial policy, and promulgated the"Provisional Regulations on Monopoly Business" to implement unified supervision and management of monopoly businesses across the country.

It stipulates that monopoly products are mainly alcoholic beverages and cigarette paper.

The administrative management of the monopoly business is the responsibility of the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation. A national monopoly business company has also been established to carry out enterprise management of relevant enterprises.

Monopoly products are state-owned, public-private joint ventures, franchised private enterprises and entrusted. There are four types of business operations, namely, processing and operation, and their production plans are uniformly formulated by the monopoly head office.

Retail liquor dealers can also be undertaken by licensed private merchants, who need to register with the local monopoly authority, apply for a license, and obtain an underwriting manual, etc.

However, they need to sell to designated monopoly offices or sales departments with licenses and underwriting manuals. (To read the novel"Bao Shuang", go to Faloo Novel Network!) There must also be a business logo on the container, and a license and certificate affixed. Sales are limited to designated areas and are not allowed to be shipped to other areas, otherwise severe punishment will be imposed.

In other words, as early as 1949, the above had already implemented control over liquor.

Even if it is a personal brewery, if it wants to sell to the outside world, it can only sell to specific liquor monopoly offices and supply and marketing cooperatives, etc., and it also needs to be sold in designated areas and cannot be shipped to other places for sale.

Since then, the domestic liquor market The sales system has undergone tremendous changes. Wine companies no longer have to worry about product sales, and brewing good wine and ensuring the quality of the wine has become the most important task of the company.

In particular, liquor is made from grain. In this era of material scarcity, it is undoubtedly a luxury. Not only is it expensive, but it is not necessarily available.

This is also the reason why the Zhengyangmen Tavern is still doing a booming business even though Old Man He sells watered-down wine.

Because he doesn't have to worry about selling it.

In the TV series, why was Xu Huizhen able to increase the turnover of the tavern several times after taking over it, and make a profit of more than 100 yuan a day just by selling wine?

To put it bluntly, she has connections and can directly get wine from the Niulanshan Distillery and sell it to other restaurants and restaurants.

Who made the director of the Niulanshan Distillery his brother?[]

Otherwise, do you really think that just by saying"no watered-down wine, honest business" and the like, the profit of the tavern can be multiplied several times in a few days?

That's a joke.

This is also the reason why Xu Huizhen dared to be the first to take the initiative in public-private partnership and was not afraid of being sidelined by the public manager Fan Jinyou.

In fact, this is also the case.

Later, after Xu Huizhen and Fan Jinyou fell out, Niulanshan immediately stopped the wine.

Fan Jinyou was forced to add water to the wine and climb over the wall to steal the wine from Xu Huizhen's house.

In the end, the street office had to invite Xu Huizhen back and dismissed Fan Jinyou to become an ordinary employee of the tavern.

See the essence through the phenomenon.

You can know that Xu Huizhen's business skills are more about her relationship background.

When it comes to doing business, she is not a little worse than Chen Xueru.

After all, Chen Xueru was able to do silk business with Big Brother at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and she was able to become real friends with her business partners. Even when China and the Soviet Union were at odds, they did not lose contact. After the full opening up, they were able to directly engage in international trade.

Just from this point, you can know how powerful this woman is.

The most important thing is that Chen Xueru is not only good at communication, but also has a very sharp vision in doing business. She is also steady and steady in every step. There have been no problems and few losses. This is not ordinary horror.

Unlike Xu Huizhen, she has a great gambling nature and has turned over several times in a row.

If it weren't for the family fortune left by old man He, I'm afraid he would have gone bankrupt long ago.

This is the most important reason why He Daqing chose Chen Xueru instead of Xu Huizhen.

Because Chen Xueru, this woman, except for being a little blind when looking at men, is really impeccable in other aspects. If he wants to start a business in the future, she will definitely be the best helper. A proper virtuous wife!

Of course, He Daqing said this not to prove that Chen Xueru is better than Xu Huizhen, but to say that the situation at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China cannot be viewed by future generations.

Especially in the field of liquor, from the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China to the end of the 1980s, it has always been a state-owned monopoly, just like medicinal herbs.

It was not until 1988 that the liquor policy was relaxed and the planned economy was transformed into a market economy. Wineries in various places also began to compete with each other and created one liquor myth after another.

In other words.

In China, policies are always greater than the market.

No matter how great your ideas and abilities are, as long as the policies above do not change, you are just paddling in the gutter.

You can't display your talents at all!.
