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

"Bad guy, shameless!"

Chen Li was very brave. When she heard that the guest wanted to stay at her house, she immediately started to curse, fearing that one more person would snatch the meat at night. But she was also very timid and hid behind Chen Feng.

Just like a little puppy, the fox relies on the tiger's power and the sister relies on the brother's power.

"Hahaha, this girl is so cute. I want to adopt her as my goddaughter."

The old lady took out a bottle of hot pot oil prepared by Sha Zhu and said, "One spoonful is enough for each hot pot. If you add water, just add a little."

"Aunt, give me two more bottles."

Li Yunlong was sharp-eyed and saw six or seven bottles of similar things in the cabinet, thinking they were all hot pot bases.

With his bandit character of wanting everything, how could he let go of the benefits at hand?

If the old lady hadn't been there, they might have all moved away.

"That's soy sauce, vinegar, and cooking wine. The remaining bottles are other oils that Zhuzi prepared, not for hot pot."

"That's it, okay!"

Li Yunlong nodded repeatedly.

"I'll go visit the boss tomorrow and bring a small bottle with me."

After eliminating several large bottles, we finally settled on a bottle that was only the size of a palm.

After getting the hot pot base, chatting with the old man for an hour, and meeting Chen Feng, Chen Jianjun, Chen Jianguo, and Chen Hao, the general quietly left the compound.

When he came, he brought 20 kilograms of rice, 2 kilograms of meat, three bottles of wine, and a bag of melon seeds and candy in the rice bag.

When I left, the old lady forced me to eat ten kilograms of dried fish, ten salted duck eggs, and a bottle of tiger bone wine.

Combined with the bottle of oil he took away, the old man felt that his family was at a loss.

"I knew that if this guy came to our house, we would suffer."

The old lady glanced at the old man and said, "You guys are all old, but you still find trouble every day and deliberately make trouble. Aren't you ashamed?"

Although brothers settle accounts clearly, some affections cannot be calculated.

The old man's words are just hindsight.

I will definitely do the same thing next time my old comrades come.

"Oil seems to be more suitable as a gift!"

Originally, Chen Feng planned to visit the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, the cannery, the Jiaodaokou Police Station, Wu Yulong and other "partners" in the next few days, bringing fresh crucian carp.

But now it seems that he has discovered that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.

These "partners" certainly have enough fish at home, but they definitely lack the oil to cook the fish deliciously.

After dinner, Sha Zhu, Ran Qiuye and Zhang Haixing came over to play mahjong.

Chen Feng pulled Sha Zhu to the kitchen.

"Crazy, what are you doing? I have things to do!"

What the hell do you have to do? Isn’t it just peeling peanuts for Ran Qiuye?

Chen Feng was really impressed by this dog-licker, he was definitely at the Black Emperor level.

If Guangxu had this ability, the Qing Dynasty might not have perished.

"I'll give you one day to prepare ten bottles of hot pot base for me."

Sha Zhu immediately shook his head and said, "Now the state-owned stores are closed for the holiday, where can I buy the seasoning?"

Chen Feng smiled and took out a bottle of well water, sighed and said, "I just prepared a bottle of aphrodisiac and kidney-tonifying potion. Since you don't want it, I'll give it to my father."

Strengthening yang and nourishing kidney?

Sha Zhu's eyes were fixed on the bottle, his breathing became rapid, and he reached out to grab it, but Chen Feng raised his hand and slapped it away.

Ignore the pain in your hands.

Sha Zhu's expression changed immediately, and he flattered her confidently, "Crazy, no problem. Leave the seasoning to me. I promise to find all the ingredients for you tomorrow and prepare them for you."

Chen Feng smiled and said, "Didn't you say that the state-owned store was closed?"

"It's okay, the store is closed, but I know the person!"

"I want ten bottles."

"No problem. Not to mention ten bottles, even twenty bottles will do."

"Will this be too much trouble for you?"

"How could that be? You are my good brother. We can talk about different things. Your business is my business!"

Chen Feng smiled and said, "Tell me where we can find all the ingredients."

"Don't worry, let me think about it!"

Sha Zhu was indeed capable, and the state-owned store was indeed closed, but under the temptation of a happy and beautiful life, he really succeeded in coming up with a good idea.

That is to ask his fellow disciples for help.

As a cook, everyone has some seasonings at home.

You have to know that in order to learn cooking skills, He Daqing and Guan Yushan stepped up to arrange for him to apprentice to several masters who were all very famous in the culinary world of Beijing.

The master is very capable, so naturally he has many apprentices.

Sha Zhu was too embarrassed to look for his master, but it was easy for him to find his fellow disciples.

Holding the New Year gift from Chen Feng - a large crucian carp weighing nearly a pound for each family, Sha Zhu visited more than a dozen fellow apprentices in one day, visiting each family every half an hour on average.

The efficiency is very high.

The results were very surprising.

He gathered all the seasonings Chen Feng needed.

Although very tired, Shazhu still felt very refreshed.

Especially when he brought live crucian carp to the door, the surprised expressions on his fellow disciples' faces made him feel very comfortable whenever he recalled it.

Fish is hard to buy in the old city, and live fish is even rarer. Those who can give live fish as gifts are considered capable.

He, Shazhu, has a lot of face and connections!

"Stop grinning and prepare the ingredients for me."

Chen Feng kicked.

Sha Zhu came out of his trance, cutting ginger with a knife in his hand, and asked, "What are you going to do with all this oil? Even if your family eats hot pot every day, a bottle of oil will be enough for a long time."

"I can tell you, this thing can't be kept for long. Even though it's winter now, it can only be kept for a month or two at most."

Chen Feng added salt to the oil according to Sha Zhu's recipe.

"Don't worry, I'm not eating it myself, I'm giving it to others."

Sha Zhu was stunned and said, "No, since you want to give someone a gift, of course fish would be the best gift. Who would give oil?"

"I guarantee that giving a live fish is several times better than giving hot pot oil."

"Didn't you see? When I delivered the fish to their doorsteps during the day, my senior brothers all looked so happy, and the younger ones wanted to eat the fish right there."

"It's pitiful. It's New Year's Day and we can't even buy a good fish."

Chen Feng glanced at Sha Zhu and said, if it weren’t for the good relationship between our two families, you would have been living on vegetarian food and drinking porridge this year.

For the sake of teacher Cong Gu Shan and teacher Chen Hao and Ran Qiuye's tutoring, he did not argue with Sha Zhu.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, we visited existing contacts such as Niu Gengshen, Wu Yulong, Ye Jin, Director Wang, Jin Shaojie, and Wu Weixin, giving each family a bottle of hot pot oil and a crucian carp, and demonstrated hot pot fish slices on the spot.

But he didn't lose out either, as each family either gave him money or good wine and other things as a return gift.

They didn't want to take advantage of him and ruin their relationship.

Whether it is Niu Gengshen, Ye Jin, Wu Yulong, Wu Weixin and others, they are all people with connections and can get many things that the middle and lower classes cannot buy.

"Grandma, do you like Panda cigarettes?"

As soon as Chen Feng came back, he gave the old lady the first pack of Panda cigarettes he had ever gotten.

Panda brand cigarettes were first launched in 1956 and are produced by Shanghai Tobacco (Group) Corporation. All raw materials for Panda cigarettes are high-quality tobacco leaves from home and abroad.

This is a special cigarette, exclusively for use by central leaders and for entertaining state guests, and is not sold on the market.

Because the raw materials are too precious and scarce.

The old lady took it with surprise, looked at the package carefully and confirmed that it was a real cigarette.

"Where did it come from?"

Chen Feng recounted Yin Tianming's origins.

"The Crescent Hotel!"

The old lady held the Panda cigarette, recalled something from the past, and sighed.
