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

In addition to lunch, the Chen family also had a few flour cakes at noon, which were also prepared by the old lady. However, the dough had already been kneaded and the guests left.

Fortunately, I can still cook it and eat it in the evening.

"Grandma, I want to eat mutton and pancakes!" Chen Li saw the pancakes and naturally didn't want to eat.

The mutton soup soaked with flour cakes tastes amazing!

In later generations, mutton soup with steamed buns became popular in the north, especially in Shaanxi and Gansu. A big pot of mutton plus baked steamed buns (baked flatbreads) was enough to fill you up.

This dish is also known as mutton soup, and was called "yanggeng" in ancient times. It is a Guanzhong Han-style food that originated in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Su Shi, a foodie who failed in politics but was proud of his poetry, left behind the saying "The cuisine in Long includes bear meat, and the cuisine in Qin includes only sheep soup".

You can see how delicious this way of eating is!

Su the foodie said so, and Chen Li the little foodie certainly thought so too.

"Okay, but you can only eat one. Save the rest for the evening and give it to your father and second brother!" The old lady gave a pancake to the old man, Chen Feng, Chen Li, and Hao Dongmei.

She and Zhou Qing both chose to eat.

"Thank you, grandma!" Chen Xiaoxiao said happily.

Hao Dongmei looked at the pancake, smiled and tore off half of it for Chen Li.

Chen Li asked in confusion: "Sister, don't you like it?"

The old man was very pleased that his little granddaughter had finally become a little more sensible!

Hao Dongmei smiled and said, "I prefer eating."

She was naturally being modest, but Chen Li took it seriously, and as soon as the old man made the mutton soup, she immediately turned the plate around, poured a spoonful of mutton soup into the big pot, and even scooped out the meat.

Then he gave Hao Dongmei a spoon. This action immediately surprised the three adults in the family.

When the little girl beat herself, they sighed!

"Hehe, eat more meat and grow up quickly!"

Chen Li shamelessly imitated Fatty Wang's catchphrase, then poured herself two spoonfuls of soup, both of which had more meat and less soup.

After lunch, at half past twelve, sister Zhu Lin came over to take a nap with Chen Li, Hao Dongmei helped wash the dishes, and Chen Feng returned to the room to push the bicycle out.

"Aren't you going to take a nap? Where are you going?" the old man asked while lying on a lounge chair under the eaves of the yard.

Zhou Qing has returned to the bedroom to rest!

"Go buy some lacquer!"

Chen Feng said while riding his bicycle.

Although the lacquer handed down from the Qin and Han dynasties was artificially extracted from lacquer trees and boiled in a pot, its purity was not as high as that extracted by modern technology in later generations, but it did not smell as strong as tung oil.

The most important thing is that he can use space to purify and decompose other sap components.

"Chen Feng, have you finished your meal? Where are you going?"

When passing by the supply and marketing cooperative, Guo Chunhua was eating lunch at the door, accompanied by Li Jie.

The supply and marketing cooperative does not provide lunch. There is no public canteen here, so you can only go home to eat or buy food.

Among them, Guo Chunhua lived nearby, so she would go home to cook at noon and then bring the food here to eat. She happened to be on duty, so she let the other colleagues go home.

Buying meals at restaurants is out of the question!

The wages at the supply and marketing cooperative were not high, and everyone was reluctant to eat out. This was different from professors like Wang Yu.

"Go buy something." Chen Feng said with a smile: "Xiao Jie, I still have some noodles and mutton soup at home. If you are not full, go find my grandma."

Li Jie really wanted to go, but was too embarrassed to agree.

Guo Chunhua declined politely: "My house is also good."

The biggest advantage of living in Nanluoguxiang is that the nearby supporting facilities are extremely complete. A paint store is just a few steps away.

When he came back from the paint store, he saw Li Jie running into the study. He must be going to play with Chen Li and Zhu Zhu.

Fortunately, the bed was big enough, otherwise it would have been very hot for the four of them to squeeze together.

At about 1:40 in the afternoon, Zhu Lin took Chen Li and Zhu Zhu to school. Li Jie returned to the supply and marketing cooperative to play. Hao Dongmei began to copy excerpts from medical books, and Chen Feng continued to work on his carpentry.

It was past eight o'clock in the evening when he finished the second piece. He first used space purification and then applied Chinese artificial wood wax oil on the spot.

At this time, Hao Dongmei had already been sent back to the guesthouse by Fatty Wang.

"Daguo, you're still going out so late?"

At ten o'clock, Chen Li, who had fallen asleep, suddenly got up to urinate. She drank too much mutton soup and ate three steamed buns at night.

Chen Feng made sure that the wood wax oil on the surface of the crib had dried, and said with a smile: "Well, wash your hands and go to bed."

It only takes 2-4 hours (20 degrees Celsius) for high-purity wood wax oil to dry on the surface. Chen Feng uses space to refine it, so the purity is naturally purer than 999k gold!

He put the bed in the tricycle and only came out and pushed the tricycle out after seeing Chen Li go to bed.

As soon as he left, Chen Li opened the door and prepared to go find Li Jie.

As soon as I came out, I saw my grandfather standing at the entrance of the lobby. He smiled kindly and said, "Lily, what are you doing out here?"

"Ah, Grandpa, I'm going to bed!"

Chen Li panicked and immediately closed the door and went to bed obediently.

The old man said proudly: "Little girl, you still want to sneak out to play!"

Chen Feng quickly arrived at Chen Jianguo's backyard. Slightly different from last time, Chen Feng directly pried open the back door of Chen Jianguo's backyard.

He didn't want to jump in with the crib in his hand; that would be too high profile.

"Xiao Feng, I taught you how to pick locks, not to let you use it to pick the locks of my house!" Chen Jianguo said speechlessly.

When he heard the noise, he thought a thief had broken in!

"Uncle, keep your voice down. Don't be afraid of disturbing the neighbors!"

Chen Feng handed the crib in his hand to Chen Jianguo. This crib was a very common traditional rocking crib.

I deliberately do it differently from at home to avoid getting in trouble.

"It's done so quickly?" Chen Jianguo picked it up and moved it in. When he saw the wood, he was surprised and asked, "Don't tell me this is golden nanmu?"

Chen Feng spread his hands and said, "I just happened to get some wood and made a dining table and a bed, and there's still some left."

Chen Jianguo had a strange look on his face. He knew how expensive these woods were. Even in the Lou family, there were not many furniture made of golden nanmu.

"That's good, it's worthy of my son!"

Chen Feng had long been accustomed to his second uncle's shamelessness. He opened his backpack and placed the seafood and canned fish that Zhou Jing had brought on the dining table in the living room.

"Where's Second Aunt?"

"No, she's back to her parents' home. She's been living in the Lou's house since a few days ago, waiting for the delivery!" Chen Jianguo said with a smile.

Only he could describe giving birth to a child as delivering a baby.

If it were an ordinary person, he would be worried.

Fertility in the 60s was not like that of later generations. The mortality rate was not low and the infant survival rate was only about %.

Babies in cities are just as vulnerable, except that they are slightly better nourished.

No wonder the Lou family is so serious!

"This crib will be painted tonight. When you have time, put it on the balcony to air dry for six or seven days." Chen Feng reminded. After the surface is dry, it will take a few more days for the wood wax on the inside to be applied.

"Don't worry, it won't be used so soon!"
