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

The fish skin jacket was like a small story, and Chen Feng didn’t take it too seriously.

There are many reasons why fish skin clothing was not popularized in later generations.

For example, fish skin clothes are very tough and wear-resistant (some fish skins are even better than cowhide), but the texture is too ugly and does not conform to the public's pursuit of beauty.

Secondly, the production cost is too high. One piece of clothing requires several pieces of fish skin, and fish skin can only be cut by hand!

"Cousin, it's daybreak. You should go to the street." As soon as the sky got light, Zhou Fubo and Zhou Dinghai ran to Chen Feng's bed impatiently and shook him hard while he was still sleeping.

"You guys are going to die!" Chen Feng was a little irritable after being woken up, and said, "Can you let me sleep for a while?"

At this time, Zhou Jing on the side seemed energetic. He said to Chen Feng: "Xiao Feng, how about I go to the street for you and help you sell the rabbits, but you have to lend me your bicycle."

"No!" Before he finished speaking, Zhou Dinghai and Zhou Fubo shouted in unison, expressing their strong opposition.

They knew very well that if they allowed their father Zhou Jing to go out on the streets, the consequences would be disastrous.

Given Zhou Jing's personality, this trip would definitely not bring any benefits to the two of them. Therefore, Zhou Jing could not be allowed to go to the streets in place of Chen Feng no matter what.

"You two little bastards, don't you know how to be filial to your father?" Zhou Jing glanced at his two sons, raised his fist, and threatened: "Next time you dare to rebel against me, I will beat you until you cry."

Chen Feng's uncle is considered a very good father. He seldom uses violence and mostly just scares people.

In the countryside, there is no father who doesn't beat his son.

Liu Haizhong in Compound No. 95 is a loving father and a filial son every day, why doesn't anyone say anything?

Because it's very common.

"No need, I'll go myself!"

Chen Feng was secretly thinking in his mind, looking for a suitable reason to leave dozens of kilograms of rice, flour, peanut oil and other items to his uncle's family. Of course, it was impossible to let Zhou Jing go to the market on his behalf.

After he slowly got up and enjoyed the breakfast carefully prepared by his grandma and aunt - the steaming yellow croaker and cabbage buns and the delicious duck egg soup were unforgettable.

I just started to slowly prepare for the trip.

At this moment, I heard a soft call: "Cousin, wait a moment."

It turned out that Zhou Fubo and Zhou Dinghai came over quietly, looked around furtively, and after confirming that there was no one around, they carefully took out six cents from their pockets and handed it to Chen Feng.

They said with anticipation, "Cousin, Hei Pi told me that now you can buy a bottle of soda for only two cents. We have exactly six cents here, so we can buy three bottles! One for you, one for me, and one for my brother, okay?"

Chen Feng was stunned for a moment. Tianjin soda costs two cents?

Bullshit!

Glass bottles are more than that price!

This kid named Heipi must be bragging!

"Okay, if there is any, I'll bring it back to you."

After taking the six cents, Chen Feng quickly left the village on his bicycle.

"Cousin, you must buy soda, this is all the money we have!" Zhou Fubo warned loudly.

The old city of Tianjin is nearly 40 kilometers away from Tanggukou, and it took him almost two hours to ride there.

Along the way, we met many farmers and fishermen who got up early to go into the city. They usually got up at three or four in the morning, then pushed their wheelbarrows, walked more than ten kilometers, and walked for seven or eight hours to reach the city.

For places as far away as Tanggukou, people usually go to the supply and marketing cooperatives in the town to sell and purchase supplies, rather than going to the city where the prices are higher.

There’s no way, it’s too far away!

An adult can walk at a brisk pace of 5 kilometers per hour without any weight. If carrying any weight, the speed will be much slower, especially for long-distance walking.

Without cars, horse-drawn carriages or donkey carts, few of the malnourished country folk could withstand such a long journey.

"Hey, what a fat rabbit!"

As soon as Chen Feng arrived at the reception building and said his name at the front desk, a middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit stopped and said, "Haha, I'm lucky today."

"Old Lu, Lu Fengxian, come quickly, I have guests to entertain today, I want all this rabbit!"

"You are too greedy, you Cao Cao."

A leader in the reception building responded as soon as he opened his mouth.

"No rabbits, but chicken butts. Take it or leave it."

He turned around and immediately changed his expression to one that was smiling towards Chen Feng.

"Hello, comrade. I am Lv Wu, the manager of Yingbin Building. You can call me Uncle Lv. Are you selling your rabbits to us?"

Chen Feng pretended to be shy and replied, "Yes, my grandfather knows your chef. He said that if there is something good, we should give it to Chef Cao. He will not treat us unfairly."

Chef Cao just came out and immediately retreated when he saw Manager Lu waving.

"Go and do your thing."

Chef Cao looked unhappy, but helpless, as Manager Lu waived his share of the intermediary fee.

But the other party hit him deliberately, and he could only endure it.

Lu Wu was very satisfied with the rabbit and offered a very reasonable price.

Smart people who do public business pay more attention to long-term interests rather than short-term gains. They will not cut off a channel for wild goods just to save a few cents.

Of course, this is also the reason why Yingbinlou is a large restaurant and the restaurant manager is not an ordinary person.

If it were the purchasing agents and salesmen at the supply and marketing cooperatives, they would be eager to lower the prices to the lowest level so that they can make a profit from it.

"Pork is 6 yuan per pound now, but that's the market price. It's about one yuan on the black market. For rabbit meat, I'll give you one yuan and two yuan, plus ten pounds of food coupons. How about that?"

Chen Feng nodded and said, "Thank you, Manager Lu, but I want to take the rabbit skin back. I also want to buy seven bottles of soda, but I don't have the ticket."

"That's no problem. It's easy to talk about." Lu Wu said generously, "If you want to give it to your family, I'll give it to you directly."

The deal was done in just a few words.

This fat rabbit weighs 18.8 jin, so the accountant simply rounds it up and calculates the price based on 19 jin.

With the money and food coupons, Chen Feng had to go to private individuals again to buy food at high prices.

There is no other way. Without the grain purchase certificate, money and tickets alone are not enough.

Chen Feng rode all the way back.

When he returned to the courtyard, Zhou Dinghai and Zhou Fubo were waiting at home. When they saw him coming back, they quickly surrounded him and helped him carry things, looking into the sacks as they carried.

"Okay, seven bottles of soda, one for each person."

When grandpa and grandma saw the thirty kilograms of rice, several kilograms of flour, a bottle of peanut oil, a few sweet potatoes, a dozen potatoes, etc. that Chen Feng took out, they were delighted and felt guilty at the same time. They could only think of asking their two grandsons to repay them in the future.

I have already started thinking about keeping account in my mind so that my two grandsons won’t forget.

Zhou Dinghai and Zhou Fubao each held a bottle of soda and looked at it for a long time, but had no idea how to drink it.

"Cousin, how do we open this bottle?" Zhou Dinghai looked at the iron lid of the glass bottle and asked, "Do we need to drill a hole in the lid?"

Chen Feng smiled and unscrewed the bottle cap with his hand.

Being strong feels good!

"Drink!"

"We won't drink it. Let's put it aside and drink it after the fish skin is ready."

Grandpa shook his head and said, "Do you unscrew it by hand?"

He tried for a long time but found that he couldn't turn it at all.

Chen Feng smiled and said, "You can use scissors, a knife, or chopsticks to pry it open."

"Fubo, bring me a pair of chopsticks."

After demonstrating how to open the bottle cap and drinking a bottle of soda, the two cousins ​​took the soda bottle to the coastal fishing area to show off.

For lunch, we had boiled sweet potatoes, fried potato chips, and catfish.

After fishing for five consecutive days, Chen Feng secretly raised dozens of adult prawns in the space and also caught a lot of swimming crabs.

Every household in Zhoujiagou hangs up knife fish skins to dry in the sun.

On November 11, he finally caught a big yellow croaker in the deep-water reef area, which he immediately put into space for preservation.

This thing will die soon after it comes into contact with water.
