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

There are six little chicks, and they are arranged clearly for the little girl.

Chen Feng looked towards the yard and saw six little chickens as big as fists, unaware that their little master had already prepared them for roasting.

"Grandpa, I need to use this golden ball worm as medicine for three days, wait for it to absorb the vitality of the medicine, and then boil it in the jade dish."

“Why cook it with jade?”

The old man doesn't quite understand the medical principles involved.

Chen Feng lied, "Grandpa, this Canghaihua grows on the volcanic lake of the Great Snow Mountain. It reincarnates every eighty years, gathering the yin and yang, water and fire, and it is the essence of plants and trees. It was swallowed by the golden ball worm."

"The golden ball worm looks like a worm, but it is actually extremely hard and invulnerable to swords and guns. It has the strength of gold and iron."

"Therefore, the golden ball worm that devoured the Canghai Flower gathered gold, wood, water, and fire. Among the five elements, the only thing missing is the essence of the earth."

The old man clapped his hands and suddenly realized: "That's right, jade is the essence of the earth."

Chen Feng laughed secretly in his heart.

"You have this kind of big jade? Grandpa has a collection of jade palace lanterns here. You can cut the golden ball worms into slices and put them in to cook." The old man whispered, fearing that outsiders would hear.

Chen Li pricked up her ears but didn't hear clearly.

"Grandpa, what did you say?"

"Don't worry, I'm not dividing your meat." The old man said unhappily.

"Oh, then I feel relieved." Chen Li, a little kid, breathed a sigh of relief.

"No need. Miss Zhang gave me a Kunlun jade plate, which is just right for cooking golden ball worms." Chen Feng explained: "This jade condenses the Kunlun earth energy and the dragon energy of Wanlong, so it should be worthy of Canghaihua."

"Lily, Lily, I'll treat you to a popsicle!"

The grandfather and grandson were discussing the matter of golden ball worms. Guo Chunhua was carrying her daughter Li Jie on her way home and passed by the compound.

Xiao Li Jie held two popsicles and shouted at the door.

"Xiao Jie, that's great, I'm just thirsty!"

The little foodie immediately gave up on his grandfather and ran over.

Guo Chunhua gave Chen Li an extra popsicle from her daughter's hand and asked, "Do you have a day off tomorrow?"

"Thank you, Auntie." Chen Li thanked him first, then quickly tore open the candy wrapper of the popsicle and replied, "It's vacation time. I wanted to go outside with Da Guo to catch birds, but Da Guo said he didn't have time, so we can only play at home."

"Otherwise, Xiaojie and I can catch birds for Auntie to eat."

Guo Chunhua couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, then you teach Xiao Jie how to use a slingshot first, okay?"

"Okay, Auntie, don't worry, I have learned to dance now. Tomorrow, I will teach Xiao Jie to dance." The little brat said shamelessly.

"Well, good boy."

Guo Chunhua carried her daughter back.

Zhou Qing came out and asked, "Why are you off work so late today?"

Guo Chunhua turned around and said, "We have a meeting today. Starting from the 1st of next month, you will have to pay for cigarettes with cigarette coupons."

"Then I'll buy some more." Zhou Qing heard this and prepared to buy some cigarettes to store tomorrow.

Chen Jianjun doesn't smoke, but the old lady does, and Zhou Jing also smokes.

"You can buy good cigarettes and keep them. Jianjun is the deputy section chief. He will definitely have second-class cigarette coupons in the future. It will be no problem for him to buy Daqianmen. However, it may be difficult to buy better first-class cigarettes such as Mudan."

Panda and Zhonghua are both special supplies, with very small quantities, and are only distributed to people within the system, with the largest proportion allocated to the four-ninth cities.

Mudan is a first-class cigarette, and Daqianmen is a second-class cigarette.

According to the new regulations, smokers can receive cigarette coupons twice a month, 1 pack of A, 2 packs of B, 3 packs of C, 5 packs of D, a total of 10 packs, 20 packs per month.

Different grades of cigarettes have different prices.

The most expensive cigarettes are Zhonghua brand, which costs 6 cents even without a mouthpiece. Yunyan brand costs 0.56 yuan per pack.

As long as it costs 4 cents or more, it is a Class A cigarette, such as Shanghai's Peony and Phoenix, and Yunnan's Hongtashan.

Cigarettes that cost 3 cents or more are Class B cigarettes, such as Daqianmen, Dachongjiu, Evergrande, and Double Happiness.

The ones that cost 2 cents or more are Class C cigarettes, and there are many of them like Pegasus and Red Gold.

Cigarettes priced below 2 cents are Class D cigarettes, such as Labor, Warrior, Famous Flower, etc. Cigarettes such as Qianjin are only a few cents. These Class D cigarettes are the most commonly bought by comrades in the countryside.

When Chen Feng saw Zhou Qing returning to her room, he guessed that she was preparing to count the money.

Nowadays, not many people are willing to deposit their money in banks. They just keep it in boxes at home and don’t trust banks at all.

"Mom, you don't have to buy any. I have a lot of good cigarettes here."

He used space to seal the tobacco, which was better than buying it and keeping it at home. The tobacco had a long shelf life. The problem was that the cigarette boxes these days were poorly sealed.

The air in Sijiu City is quite humid in summer, with particularly high humidity, and it is hot and humid!

This is a typical temperate continental semi-humid monsoon climate.

He took out two boxes of Panda cigarettes sent by Director Wang, and also took out two boxes of Peony cigarettes that he had stored before.

“This is a panda…”

"I know, these are special cigarettes, and only cadres above the rank of section chief have the opportunity to get them!" Zhou Qing walked over quickly and took the cigarettes away happily.

"Panda and peony, I'll take them to your grandma."

"What about my uncle?" Chen Feng asked.

He also wanted to leave a pack for Zhou Jing. After all, his uncle was also a member of the system now. Having a pack of Pandas would definitely shock the whole village and make him stand out.

"Your uncle should just smoke economical cigarettes." Zhou Qing said without turning his head. "Why would a grown man smoke such good cigarettes? Your cousins ​​still need to get married!"

Economy cigarettes are C-12 cigarettes, which are usually cheap products costing less than one cent.

Forget it, let’s just send it to Daqianmen.

This cigarette is also quite good!

Chen Feng smiled and nodded, not arguing with her about it.

The little girl was sucking on a popsicle. Chen Hao came out of the study and saw her. He couldn't help licking his lips.

"Lily, I'll give you a penny, how about you give me the popsicle?"

"No, second brother, go buy it yourself." Chen Li was reluctant to sell it as there was still most of it left.

"It's almost time for dinner. If I go to Wangfujing, I won't be able to eat." Chen Hao shook his head.

But when he saw Chen Li eating the popsicle, he became particularly greedy.

"Lily, I'll give you a penny and you can give me half."

Chen Li was a little tempted.

She opened her left hand.

"Two points!"

"Little sister, this is only half a popsicle, only one point!"

The two children argued for a long time and finally made a deal with one cent plus half a popsicle. Next time Chen Hao buys a popsicle, he will give her half of it.

In fact, it was all because Chen Hao, Fatty Wang, and Hu Bayi gave in to this girl.

Otherwise, how could anyone with normal intelligence let a little girl take advantage of him like this!

All I can say is that the little girl is spoiled by her brothers and is evolving into a little fox.

"time to eat!"

Fatty Wang stuck his head out of the kitchen and spoke to the two siblings who were eating popsicles in the yard.

Seeing that they were eating popsicles, Fatty Wang ran over again.

"Where's the popsicle?"

"Xiao Jie gave it to me." Chen Li said with her head raised.

"Little sister, I'm not bad to you, why do you only give it to Haozi and not to me?" Fatty Wang said "heartbrokenly".

"Second brother gave me money!" Chen Li said happily.

Chen Hao lied and said, "Yes, it's only one cent!"

"One cent for you?" Fatty Wang is not stupid, he is just fat.

"If you don't believe me, forget it. If you want to eat it, come on, give me two cents, and I'll give you the remaining piece." Chen Hao said, pointing to the last bit in the little girl's hand.

"I'm sick, it's time to eat!" Fatty Wang was not fooled.

Chen Hao and Chen Li looked at each other.

Chen Hao was a little disappointed, and Chen Li took a bite of the remaining popsicle.

With two "crunches", the remaining bit was eaten by her.
