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

Hu Bayi didn't know what his mother was busy with.

Chen Feng thought of Zhang Haixing and asked quickly, "Where is Zhang Xiaohua next door?"

Chen Hao said uncertainly: "Brother, I heard that he was transferred to another department. He is no longer in the supply and marketing cooperative, but he still lives in the compound next door."

Chen Feng nodded thoughtfully.

It seems that these companies are making big moves again.

After washing my feet, I was reading a book when I heard Shazhu's voice coming from the yard.

"Old man, let me change some more meat."

The old man advised: "Zhu Zi, have some backbone and listen to your uncle. Wait at home recently. On January 1, Jianguo will personally drive a motorcycle to pick you up."

"Grandpa, we are getting married, but we still have to give meat as a gift. My father-in-law loves it."

The old man had no choice but to open the kitchen with the old lady and exchange another three pounds of conch meat for Sha Zhu.

"Hey, the madman is back?"

This guy is indeed smart and not stupid, as long as it doesn't involve his wife.

"Well, I'll be back in the afternoon. If there's anything, I'll tell you tomorrow. You should go deliver the meat."

"Okay!"

Chen Feng opened the door and saw the old man. He ignored the money in his hand and shouted, "Zhu Zi, give me a few kilograms of seasonings, pickled conch meat, the more the better."

"Okay, I'll be asking for a dowry in January, so leave me ten kilograms."

"Row!"

Sha Zhu took three pounds of conch meat home. He wanted to braise it and give it to the Ran family.

"Ran Qiuye is blessed."

The old lady said with great emotion.

The old man nodded and said, "It is indeed a blessing, but Zhuzi is not at a disadvantage either. If it were the Republic of China, how could a cook like him have the opportunity to marry a girl from a scholarly family?"

During the Republic of China period, although being a cook was not one of the lower nine professions, it was not much higher either.

Of course, the income of top chefs is really high.

If someone like Sha Zhu, who had learned skills in many big restaurants such as Hongbinlou, lived in the Republic of China, he could easily earn dozens or even hundreds of dollars a month. If he worked as a private chef for big bosses, the income would be even higher.

He Daqing might have such an identity, so he was scared and fled out of the city.

But there is no doubt that Shazhu, a licker, has licked the right person.

The educated young woman Ran Qiuye is not Qin Huairu.

"Grandpa, are they getting married on the 2nd?"

"Yes, let's set it on January 1nd. That day is a good day, suitable for getting married, traveling, and meeting friends."

The old man is not good at studying, but he seems to be better at fortune-telling than at medicine.

The same is true for Chen Yulou.

I don’t know if this can be considered one of the blood talents of the Chen family.

"April 1960, 1."

Chen Feng chuckled.

It's a good day!

Silent all night.

The next day, just after dawn, Chen Feng was making breakfast when Sha Zhu came.

"Mad man, do you have a sewing ticket and a bicycle ticket?"

Chen Feng shook his head and said, "No, I suggest you buy a second-hand one."

Given his relationship with the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and the Cannery, it was not that he couldn't get it, but there was no need to buy new ones.

As there are many people in our family, we cannot afford a sewing machine, so they can only sew slowly with a needle, which is very taxing on their eyesight.

But even if Ran Qiuye is included, there are only three people.

"That's impossible. I'm getting married, so of course I have to buy a new bride." Sha Zhu said a little proudly.

You really lick it all the way!

"Do you have five hundred dollars?" Chen Feng glanced at him.

"Hey, I'm borrowing it from you, right?" Sha Zhu pretended to be dumb and said, "I'll pay you back slowly later."

"Get lost!" Chen Feng refused directly.

After hitting a wall with Chen Feng, Sha Zhu went to Zhou Qing and Chen Jianjun to plead for mercy.

Zhou Qing felt soft-hearted and thought that it would be better to buy new things for the wedding.

"I'll ask Director Niu for you, but if he doesn't have it, there's nothing I can do."

"It's okay, just ask."

"Uncle Jianguo."

"Okay, I'll help you!"

Zhou Qing had a lot of face with Niu Gengshen and got a bicycle ticket, but the price was that he had to purchase thirty fresh crucian carp or similar marine fish for the factory three days before New Year's Eve on January 1.

The transportation capacity in Sijiu City is tight, and the delivery of materials to coastal areas such as Tianjin, Shandong, and Qinhuangdao has been delayed again.

Chen Jianguo helped him get a ticket for sewing plane tickets.

"Aunt, Uncle Jianguo, let's not waste any more time. You are my lifelong benefactors!"

Sha Zhu bowed to them seriously at a 90-degree angle.

"Well, as for that, just practice your cooking skills and prepare banquets for me, Xiaofeng, and Haozi in the future!"

Chen Jianguo quickly stopped him.

Chen Li raised her hand and said, "Second Uncle, there's me too. I want to host a banquet too."

"You are responsible for the banquet." Chen Feng said with a smile.

"Yeah, I like banquets the most." Chen Li nodded her head.

"When are you planning to buy it?" Chen Jianjun asked.

Sha Zhu showed a simple and cunning smile.

"November 1."

"Why buy it on that day? If you have a lot to buy, plus you have to prepare for the betrothal gifts, it's easy to be busy."

The old man is an experienced person and reminded: "Don't squeeze everything into one day. It's easy to get confused and forget."

"It's okay, old man. I'll ask Chen Feng, the top scholar, for help." Sha Zhu said with a smile.

Chen Feng looked at him and was too lazy to say anything.

This guy is just trying to be evil. He wants to take the opportunity to show off in the yard and demonstrate his generosity and good fortune.

Simply put, get ready, I'm going to show off!

On January 1, Sha Zhu took out a large amount of money and asked Chen Feng for help in the name of "military advisor" to buy a batch of new furniture, new quilts, new clothes, new shoes, etc.

I also bought a second-hand bicycle and a sewing machine. These two items alone cost me half a year's salary.

Chen Feng even lent him some tickets and a hundred dollars for this purpose.

Of course, compared to the future when Chinese people get married, we are much happier now.

After the new century, ordinary people have to take out loans of more than hundreds of thousands of dollars to get married. If they are demanding, mortgages and car loans are enough to overwhelm many people.

Sha Zhu could only bear the debt for one or two years at most, but ordinary people in later generations would not be able to stand up for decades.

"Stop, Master, you can stop now."

The carriage went straight through the gate, into the front yard, and then into the back yard.

Fortunately, the entrance of No. 95 compound is really wide.

"Shazhu, how much did you spend?" Qin Huairu looked at Shazhu and the master enviously as they moved the sewing machine. There was so much stuff that her house couldn't even fit it all.

Chen Feng walked in from the door holding Chen Li.

The carriage needs to be pushed over the threshold.

"It didn't cost much, I just spent all my savings over the years!" Sha Zhu deliberately said loudly: "Three brand new cotton quilts, two kettles, a good eight-immortal table, a new coal stove, a brand new bicycle, a brand new sewing machine..."

"Okay, stop pretending. Do you want to tell me that you owe me a hundred dollars?"

Chen Feng interrupted Sha Zhu who was showing off to prevent him from being struck by lightning.

"Hey, don't tear down my stage!"

Sha Zhu rolled his eyes at him.

Qin Huairu looked at the three masters helping to move things and couldn't help asking, "How much do you give as a gift?"

Sha Zhu smiled wickedly, spread out his five fingers, and said, "Not much, not much, just 100 yuan, plus ten catties of meat, thirty catties of flour, and two pheasants."

"No way, we can't find wild geese and geese now."

Qin Huairu was dumbfounded, as if struck by lightning.

How come he gave so much?

Did I sell myself cheap?
