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

After leaving the shabby Hou family, Chen Feng still went to the Guanshan family.

Guan Yushan was sitting by the fireplace. There was an old radio on the table, playing Huangmei Opera.

"Teacher, you still like to listen to The Fairy Couple!"

Guan Shan opened his eyes and said unhappily, "This is Meng Jiangnu!"

Chen Feng blinked, not feeling embarrassed at all.

He has no interest in opera at all.

"Have you eaten?"

"Qiuye sent some cabbage buns over, they taste pretty good. If you haven't eaten them, open the cabinet and bake them yourself!" Guan Yushan said calmly, "Don't disturb me while I'm listening to the music."

Seeing that he was at ease, Chen Feng said, "How about playing a few games of chess?"

I immediately became interested in the mountains.

"Okay."

Chen Feng's chess skills are average, but the little guy Han Chunming is quite good at chess.

At the Guanshan family, after two wins and two losses with the old guy, it was time for the fifth game.

"boom!!"

"Ouch, the cup is too heavy, teacher. Sorry, we'll call it a tie."

Chen Feng calmly picked up the cup full of water.

The chess pieces on the board have become a mess.

"He's not very good at chess, but he's very mean!"

Lu Shan rolled his eyes and said, "You should learn more from Chunming on this point. Losing is losing, winning is winning. You should be open and honest in life."

Chen Feng smiled and said, "Teacher, have you ever beaten Xiao Ming?"

"roll!"

There is something of a breach in the mountain's defenses.

He used to be able to win, but now, he basically loses more than he wins.

"Come on, I won't bother you anymore."

Chen Feng put away the chessboard, said goodbye to Guan Shan, and rode his bike home.

Guan Yushan stood at the door, felt the wind for a while, and then closed the door.

The family had already eaten, but the old lady left a duck leg and some food.

Chen Feng simply finished his meal and felt that the evening was too boring. He had neither a tomato to read a good book nor a TV to watch a good drama, so it would be nice to have a radio to listen to.

Just when the big wild boar was sold, I got a radio ticket.

The next day, I went straight to Wangfujing Street and bought a new radio.

When I came back, I saw a meeting going on in the big yard.

All the heads of the No. 93 compound were present and sat together on their own stools.

The person from the street office was sitting in the middle, explaining the "corn consumption increment method". Simply put, it is to add water after the rice is steamed. In this way, the weight of the meal can be increased by 40% in one hour.

"This is a new method invented by the Santaizi Production Team of the Satellite Society in Heishan County, Liaoning Province last May."

"We have verified that using this method to cook not only keeps the whole family full, but also keeps them from going hungry!"

Chen Feng sneered.

No matter what era it is, there are always smart experts!

With so much water added, of course you can eat enough.

But the amount of nutrients remains unchanged, and the expanded food is full of water. Can drinking water fill your stomach?

He took a look and everyone was skeptical.

"I've never heard of cooking like this. Is it edible?" asked an old lady.

"If we cook like this, not to mention rice, even corn kernels will get soaked." Aunt Zhao from the middle courtyard said sarcastically, "The production team is not thinking about how to eliminate drought and increase production, but is coming here to teach us women how to cook. They have nothing better to do than to eat their fill!"

"I also think it's unreliable. How can you do it this way? Can you still eat it?"

A group of people were chattering and didn't give the clerk any face at all.

If it was Director Wang, no one would dare to refute.

But they were not afraid of a small clerk.

Every family has a relative who works in the government.

When the member of the publicity section of the subdistrict office saw it, he shouted, "Don't disbelieve it, this method is recognized by many experts. Earlier this month, a 'national incremental cooking method' was held in Xi'an, and all places have begun to promote this method."

The old man frowned as he listened, he had experienced the Republic of China and witnessed similar practices.

But if you eat like this for a long time, you will get sick!

If analyzed from the perspective of modern medicine, it is actually insufficient calorie intake that causes malnutrition diseases such as edema and hepatitis.

The treatment is also very simple, just supplement protein and sugar.

(Some places stipulated 60 years later that if the hospital confirmed that the patient was correct, he or she could receive a recovery powder ticket, which is wheat bran, bean powder and sugar, and can be taken with water)

"Okay, I've said everything I need to say. You can give it a try. If you don't understand something, you can come to the neighborhood office and ask."

After the clerk finished speaking, he said goodbye to the old man and went to the next compound.

This kind of thing usually involves calling a meeting of the uncles from each compound, who then convey the message to each compound.

Director Wang didn't know why he didn't do so, but instead asked the Propaganda Department to take charge.

Chen Feng looked at the propagandist whose face was red from the cold and smiled.

"Okay, everyone has heard it clearly. If you didn't hear it clearly and want to try it, you can go to the street office to ask."

The old man stood up and said with a hint of meaning: "If there is no shortage of food at home, you can cook as before."

"Let's try it first. If we can really save half of the food, that would be great."

"Auntie Cao, do you want to do it? I'll come to your house and take a look."

"Count me in."

A group of housewives went to Aunt Cao's house in the backyard to watch.

"Zhou Qing, your family is not short of food, right?"

"Who said that? You all know that any food I have at home will be shared with my fellow soldiers in the army."

"Yes, Jianjun is a good man."

After hearing Zhou Qing's words, some neighbors who were mentally unbalanced about Chen Feng's daily fishing and hunting felt much better.

So what if we catch a big wild boar? We still have to exchange it for food to support our relatives and friends.

Maybe what they eat at home is still porridge, which is not as good as the food they eat at home.

Zhou Qing waited in the backyard for an hour and a half before coming back.

The whole family was warming themselves by the fire in the lobby. Chen Hao, Chen Li, Hu Bayi, and Fatty Wang were roasting sweet potatoes.

Chen Feng pierced the big sweet potato with a steel needle, and they just had to keep turning it.

"Building an army is really useful."

Zhou Qing sat down and enthusiastically introduced the results he had seen without even drinking a sip of water.

"After being steamed twice, the corn cobs became bigger and softer, and tasted much better than before."

“What used to be about a bowl of corn kernels became a bowl and a half after two times.”

The old man put down his pen, shook his head and said, "In the past, during the Republic of China, someone steamed rice like this. It was fine at first, but after a while, people got sick and almost died."

Chen Jianjun, who was also on holiday at home, was shocked and asked, "Dad, if that's the case, they're still promoting it nationwide?"

The old man sighed and said nothing.

The old lady sighed and said, "Okay, anyway, we still cook the same way at home, and we won't do these messy methods."

"Don't talk too much, or you'll cause trouble for the family!"

Chen Hao raised his head and said, "Grandma, what did you say?"

The old lady smiled and said, "Okay, nothing more to say, you guys continue roasting sweet potatoes."

"Uh-huh."

Chen Hao nodded vigorously, staring at his sweet potatoes intently.

A big sweet potato was divided into four parts by their father, just enough for the four of them to roast and eat, so that Chen Li would not sneak into the kitchen and steal the caviar.

However, she treasured the snacks she hid in the cabinet beside Chen Feng's kang very much.

Chen Hao tried his best but failed to trick people out of the two cans of fruit.
