Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

I saw that some people in the book review section questioned that the price of this book had skyrocketed. Some people said that the wages of the vat masters in the vat and tile factory could not be so high. They also took the example of an eighth-level fitter in the Siheyuan who only paid more than 100 a month.

Here, the author first responds to the wages of vat masters. The author's father graduated from high school in 1979 and started working in the vat tile factory in 1980. At first, he was picking mud from morning to night, earning 1.5 yuan a day. Then there was the mud-driving, earning two yuan a day.

At that time, he saw people working in the big vat industry. They only worked half a day a day and could easily earn a few dollars. They ate meat and drank wine every day. In pursuit of progress, he used his free time to watch the big vat masters at work and watched a video. After a while, I took some clay and tried to make it.

Here, I have to say that my father’s talent in this area is truly a gift from God. It only took him more than a month to successfully master the technique of making a large tank, but even if you understood it at the time Make a big tank, but if you don’t have a teacher, no one will accept you when you go out to work.

Therefore, my father specially went to worship a master. To put it bluntly, it was just a matter of name, and there was no need for him to teach anything.

Since then, my father has become a vat master. Because he is really talented and his hands and feet are much faster than other vat masters, others can only earn six or seven yuan a day and at most eight yuan, but my father can make Earning 11 or 2 yuan, which is half more than other vat masters' income.

It was a rare highlight moment in my father's life, so he told us countless times since he was a child. When the author wrote this book, he also asked my father in detail, so please question the wages of the tile factory. Boss, you can shut up now.

After all, I am also an old author who has been writing books for fifteen years. I will not write a book without doing research and just slap my head on it.

There are also other things that have skyrocketed in price. The author doesn’t know what he is referring to specifically, but he guesses that it refers to seafood. The author has clearly written in the book that sandworms and squid sell for more than three yuan per pound. That’s dried seafood. One pound of dried sandworms requires ten pounds of fresh sandworms. One pound of dried squid requires five pounds of fresh squid. On average, one pound of fresh sandworms only costs 30 cents per pound. How much does this cost? Jumped? This is cheaper than eggs! Even squid costs an average of more than 70 cents per pound, which is cheaper than pork. I really don’t understand where it’s coming from?

These prices are calculated by the author from the prices in Bobai County Chronicles in 1988. At that time, the price of dried squid was 70-90 yuan per kilogram, which averaged out to 40 yuan per kilogram. Now in 1980, it sells for more than three yuan. One pound has been reduced by more than ten times. It is simply ridiculous to say that the author is writing about prices in the 1990s.

As for dried sandworms, it cost 50-70 yuan per kilogram in 1988. The average price is 30 yuan per kilogram. Now it sells for 3.3 yuan. Although it has not reduced by ten times, it is still nine times. If anyone doubts this price, just show the evidence. Come and slap me in the face!

You say that the price of this book has skyrocketed. I really don’t know what your basis is?

The author does not dare to say that all the prices in the book are 100% true, but even if there is a gap, it is only a small gap, because for each price, the author has checked countless information to get the price, among which the most important reference materials , is Bobai County Chronicle, because the book is written about Bobai County, so Bobai County Chronicle is the most standard reference material.

Someone questioned the county chronicle before, and the author just wanted to laugh after reading it. If the prices in the county chronicle cannot be used as a reference standard, what other information can be used as a standard?

Don’t you believe the official history, so you have to believe the unofficial history?

Also, the big guys who came out to question, do you really understand the prices of that era? I'm afraid your doubts are just "taken for granted", right?

That's all for now. If you still have doubts, you can provide evidence. Don't just say that prices have jumped sharply without saying what it is. It's like guessing a riddle.
