Chapter 86: Boss, come in and have a chat!

Let me talk about the latest chapter first. I saw a reader leave a message saying that the author's writing is out of touch with society, but he didn't mention the specific problem. I don't know if he meant that there shouldn't be small shops in this time period, or that the price of seafood is too high and not suitable for this era. Anyway, seeing this comment without context, Ershe felt very uncomfortable.

Some readers also said that it has less and less of a sense of time. At the beginning, people were extremely poor, but now the units of measurement are terrifying. They said that many things are based on standards from the 1990s.

Ershe doesn't know whether this is the opinion of a minority or the majority, so he quickly opened a separate chapter to explain to everyone and clarify these issues, so that everyone will not have any grudges when reading the book, which would not be beautiful! Let's talk about the problem of the small shop first. Please take a look at the photos taken by the author from the Bobai County Annals. The county annals clearly stated that after 1979, urban and rural market trade was restored and developed. At this time, it was normal to buy and sell in the market, and there was no need to act like a thief like in the 1970s.

There is also the price of seafood. The author could not find data on the specific price in 1980, but there are prices in 1988. The same photos are from the Bobai County Annals. Please have a look. The author also calculated the approximate price based on comparison. Although I cannot say for sure that this was the price back then, the difference should not be too big, and the situation of the 1990s standard mentioned in the comments will not occur.

In general, the author did his homework when writing this book.

Also, I'd like to ask everyone for half a day off. I'll resume normal updates tomorrow. Thank you all for your comments and votes. Thank you!
