59 years after its opening, people are still in Nanluoguxiang.
Chapter 18 Eating Crabs in September
"Uncle Chen, are you there?"
Hearing the noise from the compound, Chen Feng, holding the little girl, and the old man and Chen Hao each came out of their rooms.
The person who came was the famous benevolent father official Liu Haizhong.
He is an official-obsessed person who has dreamed of becoming one all his life. However, he lacks the ability and has an impatient temper, making it difficult for him to achieve great things.
If you can't show off your power outside, show it off at home.
He had three sons. Except for the eldest son who had to take care of him in his old age, the other two sons were often beaten by him with the "Seven Wolves". Every time, he could hear the screams from the next room through the wall.
Although there is only a wall between them, the two families do not have much contact.
The old lady seldom goes out and doesn't want to chat with the aunties and grandmas outside. The old man also likes to stay at home. The two have different backgrounds and don't have the same topics to talk about.
"Xiao Liu is here, please come in."
The old man welcomed Liu Haizhong into the lobby.
After everyone sat down.
Liu Haizhong looked at Chen Feng and praised him, "Xiao Feng is so lucky. No wonder he can catch so many fish by himself. The old man will enjoy a peaceful life."
The old man really likes people praising his grandson. He laughed and said, "Just average, just average. Both of my sons are useless. I hope he will make our Chen family stronger in the future."
The corner of Liu Haizhong's mouth twitched.
In the entire Nanluoguxiang, which family doesn’t envy the Chen family!
A team leader of the security department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and a member of the criminal investigation team of the Dongcheng Branch of the Public Security Bureau, both are deputy section-level cadres in powerful departments and are very impressive.
He has always wanted to be an official, but he remains single until now.
With the help of connections and the fact that he was a level 95 fitter in the steel rolling mill, he became the second uncle (a voluntary laborer) of the No. 95 compound and acted like a bully in the No. compound.
Provoked by the old man, I couldn't continue talking and didn't want to talk nonsense anymore.
"Uncle Chen, I heard that Xiaofeng caught a lot of loaches, so I came here to ask if we can exchange them?"
The old man looked at the three eggs he took out and asked, "Xiao Liu, how do you want to exchange?"
Liu Haizhong smiled and said, "Three eggs cost 9 cents on the market. Food is expensive now, and raising chickens consumes a lot of money. Pigeons cost at least cents on the market. I want to exchange them for ten loaches. Do you think it's okay?"
Ten loaches, about 3 taels.
Based on the price of 5 cents per pound of loach, the Chen family suffered a loss.
But in terms of nutrition, eggs are obviously better.
Moreover, Chen Feng thought that the lake mud dug out this afternoon could be transformed into grassland for raising chickens.
The old man winked at Chen Feng.
Chen Feng quietly patted the little girl's butt.
The little girl was very smart when it came to eating. She stared at the egg and when she received the "signal", she looked at him innocently at first.
Chen Feng asked her, "Little Lily, do you want to eat eggs or loaches?"
Of course the little girl wanted them all, but Chen Feng pinched her butt.
"Wuwuwu, no, Grandpa, I don't want to eat eggs, I want to eat fish."
Children can be taught!
The old man said in embarrassment: "Xiao Liu, I'm sorry to make you laugh, but children love to eat roasted loach."
Liu Haizhong also knew that his asking price was too high, so he lowered his standards.
"Nine, you have to let me finish my drink."
"Six. Boiled loaches are also delicious." The old man said with a smile.
"8. I haven't eaten loach for a long time. I want to try it today. Grandpa, Xiaofeng can fish for loach every day, but there are not many eggs."
The old man said in embarrassment: "Oh, forget it, if it were someone else, I would definitely not change it."
"Since you asked, Xiao Liu, let's just say 7."
Liu Haizhong was helpless and could only give a thumbs up and said, "Old man, you really can't take advantage of me at all. So 7 is 7."
"If I could buy meat and fish, I would never agree to exchange with you."
"Eggs are more valuable than loaches."
"Xiao Feng, go to the kitchen and pick out seven fatter loaches for your Uncle Liu." The old man knew when to stop.
"I'll go take a look too."
Chen Feng carried the little girl to the kitchen and selected 7 fat loaches that were about or centimeters long. Liu Haizhong, who followed him in, nodded with satisfaction.
I couldn't help but feel envious when I saw the grass carp, crucian carp, steamed crabs, and loaches in the bucket in the kitchen.
He supports three sons and a wife by himself, but he is a level 6 fitter with a high salary, so he can afford it.
But it’s hard to eat meat.
"Uncle Chen, I gave the eggs to Xiaofeng."
"Okay, walk slowly and don't send me away."
"Hey, please stay."
Liu Haizhong took out the handkerchief he had prepared long ago and wrapped seven fat loaches.
Chen Feng put down two eggs, asked Sha Zhu to cook the egg custard, and quickly caught up with him.
"Uncle Liu, please walk slower."
Liu Haizhong turned his head in confusion: "What's wrong? What's the matter?"
Chen Feng stepped forward and asked, "Uncle, do you sell chickens?"
Liu Haizhong quickly shook his head.
"My hens lay one egg a day, but I won't sell it."
Chen Feng smiled and said, "Uncle, if your family doesn't have enough food and you want to sell chickens, remember to find me. I can exchange them with fish."
Liu Haizhong smiled and shook his head.
"Winter is coming soon. When winter wheat comes on the market next spring, we will have enough food again."
'It would be nice if that were the case!'
Chen Feng looked at the egg in his hand and said to himself, "Xiaobai, Xiaobai, the chicken farming business can only rely on you."
With a thought, the egg in his hand was stored in space and appeared on a concave cross branch of the Sun Tree.
Looking at the wooden basin and porcelain bowl, nearly 18 hours later, the number of fish and loaches inside had increased by 556%.
The amount of solar energy absorbed from the subspace increases by 10% in one hour, and the growth is multiple.
It may not seem large at first, but after 24 hours, the multiplier is as high as 10 times, and after 36 hours, it is almost 31 times.
The crucian carp weighed 172 grams yesterday, but today it weighed 956 grams.
A small loach weighing 26 grams has grown to 144 grams.
The water in the wooden basin and porcelain bowl was almost dry.
I added water in time and picked a leaf for the crucian carp to see if there would be any abnormalities.
Chen Feng ignored them.
Under the eaves of the main entrance, He Yushui, Chen Hao, and Chen Li sat in a row, each holding a comic book and reading it with great interest.
The crabs were cooked and Chen Jianjun came back, but Chen Jianguo didn't know why he had to work overtime.
Sha Zhu took He Yushui away and politely declined the old man's invitation to stay for dinner.
"Old man, the madman gave me two kilograms of loach and a crucian carp, which is more than enough. If I eat yours, how will people outside look at me?"
"Yushui, let's go back and roast some loaches."
"Hey."
He Yushui handed the comic book in his hand to the little girl and followed Sha Zhu home.
"Wait a minute." Chen Feng brought four crabs to He Yushui.
"What are you doing?" Sha Zhu complained.
Chen Feng said nonchalantly: "It's not a valuable thing, why are you being polite?"
In the past, crabs only cost a few cents, much cheaper than rice.
"Thank you very much." Sha Zhu looked at his sister and said helplessly.
The two siblings said goodbye and left.
The whole family was in the compound, waiting for Uncle Chen to come back.
After waiting for ten minutes, the old man said, "No more waiting, just leave him three crabs."
"Let's eat!"
"Ohhh, eat ugly monsters!"
The little girl cheered, rushed to the kitchen with her short legs happily, sat steadily on the stool, and waited to eat.
Chen Hao helped with small things like carrying stools and getting chopsticks.
There were twenty-six crabs, four were given to the He brothers and sisters, three were left for Chen Jianguo, and the remaining nineteen were two for the adults and three for the children.
"Xiaofeng, thank you for your hard work. Eat more." The old lady said to her eldest grandson while peeling crabs for her grandfather.
Chen Feng looked at the five in his bowl, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
He eats a lot of this stuff.
