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

Riding his bicycle alone to his grandfather's house, Chen Feng only dared to talk to the old man, because the old man was obviously a man of great courage and did not treat him like a child.

If you were a parent, don’t even think about it.

But the old man has full confidence in him.

Of course, this is also caused by different eras.

During the Republic of China period, children aged seven or eight started working, and children aged thirteen or fourteen got married and became the head of the family, and they bore the pressure of life early on.

Unlike now and later generations, teenagers are in the happy period of wind season, rainy season and flower season.

'Don't worry about a flat tire!'

I rode my bike to Wangfujing and found a state-owned store that specialized in selling wheels and repairing bicycles.

"Uncle, give me three Forever brand wheels."

The salesman was a man, sitting on a stool reading a novel. He seemed a little indifferent and said without even looking up, "New ones are 28, old ones are 16."

"Give me two new ones."

Chen Feng counted the money in his pocket and took out 56 yuan.

Since there was space, he decided to put an extra one in as a spare.

Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.

In case luck fluctuates and two of them break down along the way, they can be replaced in time.

The salesperson then looked up and counted the money twice, fearing that he might have made a mistake.

It's quite troublesome to count one or two cents.

"Okay, take it yourself."

Chen Feng walked up and randomly picked up two brand new wheels, put them on the back seat of the car, tied them up with ropes, moved to an empty place and put them directly into the space.

Then go get a letter of introduction.

There were no ID cards back then, and official control was very strict, so you needed a letter of introduction (equivalent to an ID card).

When farmers want to enter the county town, they must first get a letter of introduction from the village brigade, then go to the commune to get a seal, and finally go to the county to do business.

On the contrary, if you go from the county to the countryside, you also need to get relevant certificates.

The Chen family went to Zhoujiagou, Tianjin before, because Chen Jianguo had connections and got the police station and street office to stamp the documents.

Without a letter of introduction, once you go out and are suspected by the militia in the village along the way, you can be directly taken to the public security bureau.

Normally, Chen Feng did not have a work permit or letter of introduction, and he frequently went to the countryside and mountains without permission. If he was caught, he could only admit his bad luck and wait for his family to take him back.

In order to avoid trouble, he still went through the process.

The Chen family had connections, so the staff at the police station and the street office gave him a letter of introduction without even asking any questions.

Before leaving, the staff from the police station and the street office thanked him privately for the two pheasant eggs.

"Xiao Feng, wait a minute."

As he left the subdistrict office, Deputy Director Wang caught up with him from behind.

"What's the matter, Director Wang?"

"What director? Don't call me that. Call me Aunt Wang."

"Auntie, I'm not yelling nonsense. My grandfather said that you will become the director sooner or later."

"Haha, thanks for your grandfather's good words, but you are not here yet, so you can't call him that."

Deputy Director Wang asked, "I heard you came to get a letter of introduction to Tianjin. Are you planning to go fishing there?"

"Yup!"

Chen Feng knew what she was thinking, but he deliberately asked, "Auntie, is there anything you want me to bring to your relatives over there?"

"I don't have any relatives there. I just want to ask if you can sell some of the sea fish you brought back to the street office."

The deputy director of the subdistrict office looked around and whispered, "Auntie, please do me a favor. I have a friend who likes to eat totoaba. Please ask the fishermen if they have any. If they do, please help me get another one."

She took out a dozen national food coupons and wanted to give them to Chen Feng.

National food coupons are rare, and because they are used throughout the country, their price in the ghost market is several times that of local food coupons.

But Chen Feng didn't want to buy food.

Now the Chen family’s rice, sweet potatoes and potatoes were all “taken” by him in the name of exchange, so they have no shortage of food at all.

"Auntie, I have a ticket. How about this, when I find the fish, I will come and exchange it with you."

"Okay, you have to keep the fish well. It's best if they are alive. If they are dead, it's best if they died on the same day. You have to catch a fresh one." Deputy Director Wang added.

Are you more picky than me?

“Don’t worry, it’s guaranteed to be fresh.”

Chen Feng smiled and nodded, completely unaware that once the stonefish left the sea and was free from water pressure, its blood vessels would soon rupture and it would die.

In other words, after the totoaba was caught, none of them were alive.

Deputy Director Wang naturally didn't know this.

Stonehead fish, also known as yellow croaker, is abundant in the sea now, but Sijiu City is not on the seaside, so if you want to eat live fish, you need some skills.

In later generations, there is a well-known name, big yellow croaker and small yellow croaker!

The upper part of the body is yellow-brown, the lower part is golden yellow, and there are many small luminous particles on the side of the body. Because it can make sounds when it comes out of water, glows at night, and has a stone like a chess piece in its head, it is called the stonehead fish.

Totoaba is a traditional economic fish in China. It was once known as one of China's four major seafoods along with hairtail and squid, and is distributed throughout the waters of the western Pacific Ocean.

Yellow croakers are not very big. The largest wild yellow croaker ever caught weighed only more than 7 kilograms.

There are large catches in our country's waters now. Large yellow croaker is still popular, but small yellow croaker is almost ignored.

The annual output of Zhoushan Fishery once reached 3 tons of small yellow croaker. In the 70s, one pound of small yellow croaker cost only 2 cents.

When the economy improved in the 80s and 90s, the nutritional value of small yellow croaker was discovered, and as wild catches continued to decline, the price of wild yellow croaker increased a thousandfold.

In 1985, the price of large yellow croaker was raised to 210 yuan. After 00, a pound of wild large yellow croaker cost more than yuan, while a pound of small yellow croaker cost several hundred yuan.

After saying goodbye to the street office, Chen Feng rode his bicycle directly out of the old city and headed towards Tianjin at high speed.

I was tired at noon, so I picked up some dry firewood from the wild woods on the side of the road, lit the coal balls, and roasted a chicken.

“Stop the car.”

Chen Feng looked towards the roadside; bushes and trees blocked his view.

But the sound of the truck's engine and the previous singing of "By the Butterfly Spring" indicated that a dozen people were passing by in a truck.

Butterfly Spring is the theme song of the movie "Five Golden Flowers" and has recently become popular across the country.

Chen Hao learned this song at school and often showed it off at home, creating noise pollution with Chen Li.

In less than a minute, a woman in military uniform walked into the woods from the roadside, looked around, and walked a few steps inside. She was only about ten meters away from where Chen Feng was.

However, Chen Feng was sitting on the grass and was blocked by the bushes, so the other party could not see him.

Similarly, Chen Feng couldn't see the other person's face clearly and could only tell their gender from their conversation.

"not--"

Chen Feng hesitated for a few seconds and felt it would be better to stand up.

A man can be romantic, but he cannot be vulgar!

"Cough cough!"

The sudden cough startled the person on the other side.

"who!"

"Hello, I'm roasting pheasants here, so how about you go somewhere else?"

Chen Feng raised the roast chicken in his hand, wanting to prove his words, and his eyes stayed on her hand.

That's a gun!

Then I looked at her face. Her hair was shoulder-length, her features were delicate, her outlines were clear, her eyebrows were as light as smoke, and her lips were as bright as the sun. She was simply a masterpiece carefully crafted by God.

Another beauty!

Grandpa, I really want to grow up!
