Siheyuan: Being a fisherman in 1962

Chen Fei frowned, his eyes sharp as a torch, and he quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

The first option is too impulsive and unwise; the second option, although seemingly mild, is actually full of hidden dangers.

A sneer appeared on his lips, a determination flashed in his eyes, and he chose the third option.

"System, confirm option three." Before he finished speaking, a warm feeling surged from the bottom of his heart. It was the reward given by the system - a cooking improvement card and a temporary strength bonus.

Chen Fei clenched his fists, feeling the power surging in his body, and his heart was filled with confidence.

At this moment, Sha Zhu saw that Ma Hua had not moved for a long time and became suspicious. He was about to take action himself, but he saw Chen Fei suddenly turn around, looking at Ma Hua with a sharp gaze, and rushing towards him.

Chen Fei's voice was deep and powerful: "Ma Hua, considering that this is your first offense, I wanted to give you a chance, but since you choose to do evil with others, Fu Man Lou will not tolerate you."

After saying that, Fade Chen flashed in front of Ma Hua, grabbed his wrist with one hand, and twisted it gently. Ma Hua fell to the ground in pain, begging for mercy.

The chefs around looked at each other in shock.

Chen Fei looked around and said in a deep voice: "From now on, if anyone dares to do something behind my back again, this will be the outcome!"

When Sha Zhu saw this, his face turned pale, but he didn't dare to get angry easily and could only hate it in his heart.

Chen Fei took the opportunity to announce: "From now on, the rules of the kitchen will be re-established. We will speak with strength, be fair and just, and will not tolerate any form of oppression."

While everyone was talking and the atmosphere was tense, Fade Chen already had a plan for his next step in his mind.

He realized that Sha Zhu's conspiracy would not stop there, and he had to make arrangements in advance to prevent future troubles.

So, he quietly took out the "burning talisman" rewarded by the system, silently chanted a spell in his mind, and prepared to teach Sha Zhu an unforgettable lesson.

In his hand, he gently stroked a piece of yellowed talisman paper - the "Burning Talisman", which was a treasure he obtained by chance. It was said that it could burst out amazing power at the critical moment.

A mysterious smile appeared on Fade Chen's lips, and he was secretly thinking about when he could make this talisman paper shine.

"Ah Huang, come on, let's go for a walk." Chen Fei patted the puppy beside him. Ah Huang wagged his tail and followed him happily.

After passing through the narrow alley, the two people and the dog came to an open space outside the courtyard, which had long been a paradise for children.

At this moment, among the group of children, Banggeng, Xiaodang and Huaihua stood out.

Banggeng frowned, his eyes revealing a hint of unwillingness and frustration. He looked at the firecrackers waving in the hands of other children, feeling mixed emotions.

As a famous "king of children" in the courtyard, when had he ever been treated so coldly?

"If only we had firecrackers too, we'd see how long they can be so proud!" Xiao Dang muttered, his eyes full of desire for firecrackers.

"Hmph, at worst I can go borrow some money from Uncle Sha Zhu and buy a few of his stuff!" Bang Geng gritted his teeth, even though he knew in his heart that Sha Zhu's temper was not so easy to deal with.

However, when they tried to show kindness to other children, they were met with merciless ridicule and insults.

The children gathered in a circle, pointing and talking, their words full of contempt and disdain.

This scene happened to fall into Chen Fei's eyes.

With a thought in mind, a plan quietly took shape.

He left the crowd calmly, quietly went to a nearby store, and bought a few strings of firecrackers with the little change he had.

Returning to the edge of the clearing, Fade Chen deliberately scattered the firecrackers on an inconspicuous path, and then continued walking the dog as if nothing had happened.

Soon, Banggeng and his group passed by the path dejectedly, and the sharp-eyed Huaihua suddenly discovered the firecrackers on the ground.

"Look! It's firecrackers!" Her exclamation immediately attracted the attention of Banggeng and Xiaodang.

The three of them looked at each other, with a hint of surprise and disbelief in their eyes.

"Haha, God is really helping me!" Banggeng picked up the firecrackers, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes, "Let's hide them first, and then take them out and set them off at night, so that those guys can see them!"

Chen Fei watched all this from afar, with a barely perceptible smile on his face.

This is just the beginning, the real fun is yet to come.

And the "burning talisman" in his hand was quietly waiting for its glorious moment.

The children went home to eat, and the adults began to prepare dinner.

Banggeng, Xiaodang and Huaihua quietly hid in a corner of the courtyard, their hearts full of anticipation for the coming night.

Chen Fei stood in front of his window, his eyes penetrating the night, as if he had foreseen the scene that was about to unfold.

Banggeng and his group, with faces filled with the mischievousness and excitement typical of children, returned to the courtyard laughingly, holding the firecrackers they had just "accidentally discovered" in a corner.

"Mom, look, we found something good!" Banggeng shouted as he entered the door. The firecrackers in his hand flashed attractively in the sunlight, as if foreshadowing a farce that was about to take place.

Qin Huairu was sticking her head out of the kitchen, her brows slightly furrowed, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

"Where did these firecrackers come from? Were they stolen?" Her words were a little harsh, but she couldn't hide her concern for her son.

Seeing this, Huaihua hurried forward to explain, with a bit of urgency in her voice: "Mom, don't get me wrong, we picked up these firecrackers, right at the entrance of the alley, and many people saw them."

At this moment, in the corner of the courtyard, Fade Chen stood quietly with a deep gaze, holding a yellowed talisman paper in his hand - the "Burning Talisman".

This is the only treasure that the system gave him when he traveled here, which can save his life and help him fight back.

Originally he just wanted to live a low-key life, but seeing the arrogant look of Banggeng and his group, Chen Fei felt an indescribable anger in his heart.

"Hmph, it's time to let you know that not everyone can be bullied." Chen Fei said in his heart, his fingers gently stroking the talisman paper, silently chanting the spell in his heart, preparing to teach them an unforgettable lesson at the critical moment.

However, things are unpredictable, and Bangteng's mischief escalates again.

He waved the firecrackers in his hand excitedly, but accidentally dropped it, and the string of firecrackers flew straight towards his window like a wild horse.

"Bang!" With a loud noise, the glass shattered and fragments flew everywhere, and the courtyard was suddenly in chaos.

At this critical moment, Fade Chen activated the "Burning Talisman" in his hand without hesitation.

The talisman paper instantly turned into a red light and fell accurately on the place where the firecrackers were scattered.

The flames and the residual power of the firecrackers intertwined together, instantly forming a sea of ​​fire that engulfed a corner of the courtyard.

"It's on fire! It's on fire!" Bang Geng shouted in horror, his voice filled with tears. He had never seen such a terrible scene.

Qin Huairu and others were frightened by this sudden change and were at a loss as to what to do. They picked up buckets and basins and tried to put out the raging fire.
