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

"and many more!"

As he was about to leave, the vendor noticed that the sweet potatoes had been "meticulously washed" and there was no dirt at all.

He had a good impression of Chen Feng and cut about 2 to 3 grams of pork belly.

Of course, Chen Feng had never washed the sweet potatoes, but the space gave him absolute control, so he could separate different substances, and removing the dirt was just a piece of cake.

"Hey, thank you."

Sweet potatoes cost about 2 or 3 cents per pound in the urban area, and are even cheaper in the countryside. The price is not very high, but the supply is limited in quantity.

The seven large sweet potatoes he took out, even though they were more than twice as big as those in the supply and marketing cooperative, weighed only twenty kilograms at most, and the price was two or three times higher, less than two yuan.

The vendor was already showing him respect by giving him more meat.

"Comrade, do you have any sweet potatoes left? I can exchange them for money or tickets."

Chen Feng was about to leave with the meat in his hand when the masked man who was waiting in line behind him to exchange meat asked hurriedly.

Besides him, several others were also waiting for his answer.

Sweet potatoes are a good thing. In the absence of refined grains, sweet potatoes containing starch are easier to fill you up, and they have a slightly sweet taste. They are much more delicious than porridge, cornmeal, wild vegetables, etc.

However, taking out seven large sweet potatoes was already the maximum that Chen Feng could do.

It’s not impossible to have more, but it might attract some people’s attention.

Even though the risk is only a few percent, it is still a risk!

He tipped the fish bucket downwards to indicate that it was gone.

"What about your home? Is there any left?"

"No, there are only a few of them. I dug them up on the mountain road back from the countryside."

Chen Feng just talks nonsense without any preparation.

But his nonsense turned out to be right.

In northern regions, sweet potatoes are usually planted in April in spring and harvested in October in autumn after about 4-10 months of maturity.

The sweet potatoes he took out were twice as big as those harvested in 3-4 months, and they really looked like wild sweet potatoes.

(Because no one harvests wild sweet potatoes, their growth cycle is extended and they can grow very large. Giant wild sweet potatoes weighing dozens of kilograms are normal and can grow as big as pumpkins.)

"Ugh."

A group of people sighed.

Hearing that meat is sold here, more and more people come here.

Chen Feng hurried back home.

When you get outside the wall at the door, take out the things in the space and fill it with the fish bucket.

With a push of his feet, he climbed over the wall with incredible agility.

It turned out that there was a candle light in the kitchen.

When I opened the door, I saw my second uncle Chen Jianguo eating a midnight snack, and the old man and the old lady were sitting on the side waiting for him to finish eating.

He went out after dinner and didn't know what to do.

"What good things did you change?"

Chen Jianguo took a bite of dried salted fish and a sip of thin porridge that was eight parts water and two parts rice.

Chen Feng took out half a pound of lean meat and a piece of pork belly, five pounds of peanuts, twenty or so corn cobs, eighteen large sweet potatoes, and the last six wild duck eggs from the fish bucket.

The old man wiped his eyes, suspecting that he had seen it wrong.

The old lady stepped forward and looked at the fish bucket.

Fortunately, it’s empty.

Chen Jianguo picked up a sweet potato and, without even washing it, he opened his mouth to take a bite.

"Snapped!"

The old man didn't hold back and slapped him hard.

"Hiss, Dad, I really wasn't picked up by you?"

Chen Jianguo shook his hands in pain. The old man was quite strong, and this was because he was hungry. If it were in the past, his hands might have become swollen.

"Well, it's not a dream!"

The old man nodded with satisfaction.

Turning around, he looked at Chen Feng.

My eldest grandson is so smart. My two sons combined are not even one-tenth as smart as my grandson.

"Xiao Feng, which big fool did you exchange it with?"

Chen Feng: “…”

I'm not stupid, not at all!

"Grandpa, don't worry, I promise I won't bring any trouble to the family."

Chen Jianguo rolled his eyes and said, "Are you stupid? We are not selling it. Sellers have trouble. We bought it based on our own ability. What's there to be afraid of? If anyone asks you, tell him to come to me."

Uncle Chen was bragging a lot. Anyway, Chen Feng bought it, so if there was any problem, it definitely wouldn't be his.

He can blow boldly and blow hard.

And being able to sell peanuts is definitely not easy.

Because this is a controlled commodity, ordinary residents can only receive a voucher for purchasing non-staple food once a year during the Spring Festival. You can't buy it whenever you want!

When I saw the old man putting peanuts into a small winnowing basket, I immediately became jealous.

"Dad, my dear dad, there are several kilograms of peanuts, please at least leave me a handful."

When the old man heard this, he actually left one behind.

Finally, he did not forget his eldest son.

"Remember to share it with big brother!"

Chen Jianguo's fists stiffened as he looked at the peanuts that he could count clearly at a glance.

My dad is too cruel!

I just keep the delicious wine hidden and can’t bear to drink it. I will only open a bottle during the Chinese New Year.

Do we have to save even the peanuts for the New Year?

It is October 118st now, and there are still days until the Chinese New Year.

Don't ask him why he knows so much!

"Xiao Feng, if you have the chance, trade some peanuts with that big idiot. This stuff is good to go with wine."

Peanuts and sesame seeds are both oil crops that can be used to produce oil, and the relevant departments have always kept a tight control on them.

Those who are able to get tickets all have connections.

Currently, every household in the city is provided with a voucher for half a pound of non-staple food during the Spring Festival every year, but it is difficult to get it at other times.

The Chen family was divided into three households, and they produced at most one and a half kilograms a year.

After 1965, the system was changed so that each household could provide half a pound of peanuts (including peanut shells) and 2 taels of melon seeds per person per year with a certificate.

In other words, Chen Feng took out several years' worth of their family's money.

But the person involved still feels confused.

It’s just a plate of peanuts, there are plenty of them in the space.

"You two are almost seventy years old together, and you're still so frivolous."

The old lady carefully put away the sweet potatoes, corn cobs, pork and wild duck eggs and placed them in the wooden cabinet in the kitchen.

This wooden cabinet is rat-proof.

There are a lot of rats in the old city, especially in old residential areas like courtyard houses.

However, ever since Chen Feng drank the serum, he would walk around the house from time to time. Over the past few days, their home had inexplicably become a forbidden area for rats, and even fleas had begun to move in.

"Xiao Feng, don't replace the peanuts next time. They are useless. Replace them with more oil and sweet potatoes. Corn cobs will also work."

"But if there are duck eggs, don't change them. Keep them for you to eat."

Eggs were supplied in limited quantities starting from January 1958. With a non-staple food purchase certificate, each household could be supplied with 2 kilograms of eggs per month. For households with more than ten people, an additional 1 kilogram could be supplied.

However, the price of eggs is high. In July and August, it was 8 cents per pound. Now that the autumn harvest is completed, the price has dropped to 4 cents.

It is much more expensive than pork. You should know that first-class fat meat is only a little over 6 cents.

Now that you have a ticket, if you are lucky and have connections, you can still grab the eggs.

By 1960, according to regulations, eggs were only supplied to "special needs personnel" and ordinary residents could not buy them at all.

"Okay, grandma."

Chen Feng agreed immediately.

Go back to your room and sleep peacefully.
