Back to 1980: I Made My Fortune as a Traveling Peddler

The best part is the first hundred or two chapters, with various small commodities being sold, each one interesting and engaging. After chapter 200, it becomes an assembly line, where money is just numbers, and there's no sense of how much is earned or spent. It's all about expansion: building factories, shops, docks, hiring people, and more expansion.

It started as a complete mess, and it's over. Grandma doesn't love her grandson; she favors the eldest uncle. The concept of filial piety puts immense pressure on the protagonist's family: even in her past life, her father would tie her up and prevent her from marrying, demanding only 1000 yuan for the marriage. I can see the rest is rife with resentment.

(1) "Back to 1980: Starting as a Peddler" describes the journey of starting a business in Wenzhou, Zhejiang, and is very characteristic of the local area; (2) "1984: Starting from a Bankrupt Sichuan Restaurant" is a chef's technical novel with a system. It is not written in an exaggerated way. It is controlled and unaffected by the system.

Although it's well-written, the opening line about the bride price being 1,000 yuan in the 1980s, and the claim that an ordinary worker could only earn 700 yuan a year, is clearly problematic. An ordinary worker in the 1980s couldn't earn that much money in a year!

Even selling pig's feet is done secretly. I just want to know, does that Mr. Zhou, the sugar factory owner in the book, run his own factory? Are you living in a different time and space, or even a different country?

The novel is alright in other aspects, but the fact that they only make 200 yuan from 10,000 jin of bayberries, not including fuel and labor costs, is truly disgusting.

Now that I've gotten to know this beautiful author, I'll give her a small token of my support.

This book is rich in life experience, vividly depicting the sordid aspects of rural life and the hardships of making money. Unfortunately, it can't match the popularity of this version. I also have Chen Cai Nong's book in my collection. The quality and update speed are basically the same, but I bought the premium version of that book last month. I've subscribed to the whole thing! Keep it up, author!

I read it in one go. The writing is smooth and even, with no incoherent plot points, which is quite good. However, impatient young people probably won't be able to finish it.

Through my efforts, I successfully obtained monthly votes and reached number one!
