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

"Hey, that's not right. Lily had an exam today. Why didn't she come back?"

"The supply and marketing cooperative has received a new batch of popsicles. Lily, Li Jie and the others are playing in the cooperative. When they are tired, they eat popsicles." Hu Bayi explained.

Wow, you’re selling it to yourself, right?

Chen Feng looked at his watch and found that he was no longer walking. He stood up and went to the main hall to check the time, wound up his watch, and said, "Go and bring Lily back. It's almost six o'clock. Don't eat too many popsicles."

Chen Hao and the other two looked at each other, and Fatty Wang and Hu Bayi pointed at Chen Hao at the same time.

"It's your turn to shout!"

Chen Hao touched his pocket and felt that he was about to bleed again.

Fortunately, I can get blood from my elder brother.

"Chen Feng, my brother asked me to give you this bottle of tea."

A few seconds after Chen Hao went out, He Yushui came in from outside with a bottle of Gaosui in his hand.

"Gaosui" is also called "Gaomo" or "labor protection tea". This kind of broken powder will be discarded in the future, but now it is a very popular tea raw material.

In the era of limited material supply, the old people in Sijiucheng would also choose Gaosui when entertaining guests, and it was already very rare.

"I have some tea at home, leave it to your sister-in-law." Chen Feng no longer looked down on Gao Sui, after all, he had more and better ones.

If it were in the past, the old man would definitely keep it for himself to savor slowly.

Shazhu doesn't know how to drink tea. All boiled water tastes the same to him.

"My sister-in-law said that she only wants to drink scented tea, so it would be better to give this tea to the old man." He Yushui came closer and placed the bottle on the table where Zhou Qing and the others had chatted before.

"Didn't you bring any fish back from Tianjin?"

"Oh, yes, if you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten." Chen Feng was so busy asking Zhang Haixiong about her blind date conditions that he neglected the things he had placed on the three-wheeled motorcycle.

"Bayi, go get the things off the motorcycle, give Yushui a watermelon, and take it back for Teacher Ran to eat."

“Are there watermelons?”

He Yushui ran towards the main hall in surprise.

Hu Bayi and Wang Fatty also ran in.

Scarcity has increased the value of fruits such as watermelons and peaches. Although the official prices have always been very affordable, the goods are not very accessible to everyone.

You can see the price but you can’t touch the product!

"Big Pot, I'll treat you to a cream popsicle!"

Chen Li trotted back, rushed into the yard, saw Chen Feng sitting under the grape trellis, and immediately shouted loudly.

"Your money?" Chen Feng asked with a smile.

The supply and marketing cooperative is actually stocking cream popsicles!

The little girl ran up to him with the ice cream, gave him the only popsicle, and nodded vigorously, "Well, I bought it with my own money."

"Haha, it seems that you have learned how to spend money to buy gifts." Chen Feng said happily.

This time the little guy did not cheat Chen Hao. He used his second brother's money to buy a gift for his eldest brother. He was indeed making progress.

When giving gifts to family members, it is best to use your own money so that it shows the thoughtfulness.

"Lily, you run too fast, I can't catch up with you." Li Jie followed behind with a paper bag of snacks, panting. When he saw Chen Feng, he also ran over.

Open the paper package to reveal the dried salted fish inside.

"Big brother, salted fish is delicious."

Chen Feng took the dried fish from Li Jie's hand. It was a piece slightly larger than a mahjong tile. The belly of the fish was not very wide. Because the fish skin had been removed, he could not be sure whether it was a knife fish or a hairtail.

He could tell the difference immediately after taking a bite.

Hairtail!

Hairtail fish and knife fish are somewhat similar, both have long knife-like bodies, but they are completely different species.

The Bohai knife fish can enter the Yellow River to spawn and can live in shallow waters, while the hairtail is a deep-sea fish and will only migrate to shallow waters to spawn.

Knife fish has many bones, while hairtail fish has very few bones.

"Is it delicious?" Li Jie looked at him happily.

Chen Feng thought it was pretty good and said, "Did your mom pickle it? It tastes great."

The salinity is just right, not too salty.

Is it necessary to add salt when pickling sea fish? Salt is one of the important seasonings for pickling sea fish. It can help with seasoning and preservation.

Many netizens in later generations talked nonsense that salt is not needed to marinate sea fish, which is all nonsense!

The sea water is salty, but the seafood is not!

"Then eat another piece." Li Jie picked up another piece very happily, and Chen Feng took it with a smile. She probably didn't know whether it was the fish pickled by her mother or bought directly by her mother.

"Brother, I'm back." Chen Hao came back with a paper bag and said, "Aunt Guo insisted that I bring this bag of pickled hairtail back, and I couldn't convince her."

"I brought it back." Chen Feng ate the salted hairtail meat again and said, "Fatty, bring some peaches back to Xiao Jie."

"Brother, how many?" Fatty Wang asked, holding four peaches.

"peach!"

Chen Li and Li Jie, two foodies, trotted over and surrounded them. Li Jie even dropped the paper bag he had placed on the table.

"Give me two more, and we'll make it a perfect six!" Chen Feng said with a smile.

"Okay." With the two foodie girls following him everywhere, Fatty Wang returned to the main hall, found a large piece of straw paper they used for drawing, wrapped six peaches in it and gave them to Li Jie.

"Thank you, Fatty."

"You should thank Big Brother. This is what Big Brother bought from outside."

Li Jie ran out quickly holding the paper bag and ran to Chen Feng to thank him again.

"Okay, go back and hide it. Don't let your grandma see it." Chen Feng ordered with a smile.

Grandma Li Jie would not snatch the fruit from her only granddaughter, but she had a bad habit, a bad habit that many adults have.

Eat good things slowly, don’t eat them all in one day. Over time, since most people don’t have refrigerators now, things will easily go bad.

Then they dig out the bad parts, eat them first, and keep the good ones, and then the good ones become bad again...

This problem is something that people in later generations will not be able to understand.

Just like many elderly people who moved into the city with their children, in order to save on tap water fees, they use buckets to collect dripping water from the faucet in the toilet.

During the day, I collect a bucket of water, which is less than one tenth of a cubic meter. One cubic meter of water is one ton, and one ton of water costs only 2 yuan.

Just for the water bill of less than 40 cents for a day and a night, he used the water from the toilet to cook and still had a good reason to do so.

Many young people encounter similar things and are so angry that they post on social media to vent their anger and helplessness!

Otherwise, my mentality will explode!

"Yeah, big brother, goodbye!" Li Jie ran away holding his peach, not even taking the small paper bag of dried fish!

I have peaches, why do I need dried fish?

"Big Pot, when are we going to eat watermelon? In the evening?" Chen Li ran out of the main hall holding a watermelon tightly, and Chen Hao chased after her.

"No need to eat tonight. Wait until tomorrow at noon. Just in time for you to finish dancing at school, and celebrate your achievement."

Chen Feng smiled and took the watermelon from the little foodie's hand, handed it to Chen Hao, and asked him and Hu Bayi to put the watermelon into the cellar.

He Yushui did not go back directly, but ran to the motorcycle, pretending to be the driver and experiencing the feeling of riding a motorcycle.
