selling chili peppers in chronology

=============================

The others also nodded repeatedly, and said that they should indeed invite Du Xingwei to have a meal at home, and it must be entertained with good food and wine.

Seeing that they were about to discuss what to cook, Chen Chen hurriedly interrupted their discussion, "There's no need to be so troublesome."

Mrs. Li was not happy, "Why is that troublesome? We were too busy fixing those peppers and didn't have time to deal with this matter, but now we are too busy, so we should thank Du Xingwei."

Chen Chen said: "Grandma, if you call him over for dinner with such fanfare, I guess he won't come over."

"Then you don't know until you call for it?" Mrs. Li glared at Chen Chen, then muttered, "Didn't you say before that after Du Xingwei saved your life, the savior should repay him well, but now I say call him over You don't like eating a meal, Xiaochen, don't tell grandma that you are an ungrateful person."

Chen Chen:"……"

Chen Chen felt that he was greatly wronged.

If he would refuse, wouldn't that mean that he felt that he and Du Xingwei were close, so there was no need to come to these falsehoods? !

Chen Xiangwu also said: "Xiaochen, I remember that the bottle of wine your dad brought me was from Du Xingwei, right? They also confiscated the money?"

Chen Chen was speechless, "Okay, stop talking, I'll go and ask him to come here for dinner tonight."

Chen Xiangwu just laughed.

Mrs. Li also said: "This is more or less the same."

Everyone was discussing what to cook, and there was a big room full of people talking to each other, and the scene was once very lively.

Mrs. Li thought they were annoying, so she said bluntly: "We will do it at the third side tonight, we two old ones, then the eldest and the second will come over, and the rest will go home. There is no room for people in the room. , adding to the confusion."

Chen Ming joked, "Grandma, there is no place for us."

Chen Qian sang along with him, "Third Brother, you only know, we little ones, let's go to eat in the kitchen by ourselves."

Mrs. Li cursed, "You are the only ones with mouths."

Chen Ming and Chen Qian laughed out loud, and everyone else laughed too.

Chen Chen was going to call Du Xingwei at first, but he couldn't help laughing when he heard this, then suddenly a flash came to his mind, and he thought of something, so he said: "Grandma, since Brother Ming and Xiao Qian are not happy, then we just Let’s just eat it in one pot tonight.”

The corner of Li Shi's mouth still smiled, "That's so troublesome."

"No trouble." Chen Chen said: "Anyway, the first aunt and the second aunt will cook again when they go back, so it's better for everyone to work here together, everyone helps, it's actually the same."

"I think it will work." Feng Zhaodi said: "Every family brings the food, and we don't take advantage of the third brother's family, so we cook it in one pot."

Wang Guizhi said: "Since we want to eat together, then the third brother and the others will definitely not be able to do it here. There will be nowhere to sit. Go to our side where it will be more spacious."

When everyone heard it, they thought it was so reasonable.

After they discussed for a while, Mrs. Li said: "That's it, don't take the food. Tonight's food belongs to our two elders. Since our Chen family separated, it is rare for us to have a meal together."

Chen Chen just laughed, "Grandma, isn't it a family dinner tonight?"

Mrs. Li was just happy, and didn't think of anything else, "It's a family banquet!"

Chen Chen was satisfied.

Chen Xiangwu glanced at Mrs. Li, "What are you talking about, you asked to invite Du Xingwei to dinner, but now you forgot about him?"

Li: "..."

She was so glad she forgot.

Seeing Mrs. Li froze, Chen Chen passed the steps, "Actually, it's also considered a family feast. Du Xingwei saved me before, and I have a good relationship with him, so that's my family."

"That's right." Mrs. Li went down on the slope, "It was not easy for that child when he was young, but he is still capable now, and he is close to us. He is alone, so what if he is his own family? I can't wait for it. "

Chen Chen thought in his heart: That's right, what's wrong with being a family member?What about having a family dinner?

No one in the room knew that Chen Chen used this excuse to justify Du Xingwei's name.

What everyone thinks is-

Du Xingwei had indeed been in frequent contact with them in the second half of the year, especially the old three, who often gave each other gifts, and had a particularly good relationship with Chen Chen.Now that they are capable and reliable in their work, if they really have the cheek to say "my family", they still take advantage of it.

Anyway, the matter was finalized, and Chen Chen didn't want to meddle too much, and went directly to Du Xingwei to find someone.

"Bring me to dinner?" Du Xingwei didn't hold back the expression on his face in surprise.

Chen Chen looked at him with a smile, "Yes."

Du Xingwei asked with difficulty: "Why?"

Chen Chen spat out two words, "Family banquet."

Du Xingwei shook his hand, and the citrus in his hand fell to the ground, and he was in a daze.

Knowing Du Xingwei for so long, this is really the first time Chen Chen saw Du Xingwei's expression, so he couldn't help admiring it for a while, "Stupid?"

Du Xingwei took a deep breath, "Are you kidding me?"

"My grandma said it was a family feast." Chen Chen deliberately didn't tell Du Xingwei the summary of the previous situation, but went to pick up the citrus that fell on the ground, and peeled Du Xingwei's freshly opened skin. It was not dirty inside. can eat.

Du Xingwei asked awkwardly, "When did you say that?"

Is it after Master Hao left?

It can only be after Master Hao left, otherwise he was in the Chen family before, why didn't everyone in the Chen family respond?If they knew at that time, they would probably have skinned him long ago, how could they be so amiable.

Du Xingwei didn't dare to think, "What did you say? They..."

Seeing that he was in such a hurry, Chen Chen couldn't help but burst out laughing, Du Xingwei's questioning stopped abruptly, and he understood something by looking at Chen Chen's unserious expression.

Sure enough, the next moment, Chen Chen's words made that imagination come true, "Do you really believe it?"

Du Xingwei: "..."

Chen Chen continued: "I was joking with you just now, it's rare to see you look so bewildered."

Du Xingwei: "..."

Du Xingwei couldn't bear it anymore, stretched out his hand to press Chen Chen's shoulder, and then bit his lips hard.

Chen Chen groaned in pain.

But Du Xingwei didn't let him go, and pressed Chen Chen's neck tightly to prevent Chen Chen from struggling, his mouth movements became more and more fierce.

Chen Chen was dizzy and his waist was weak.

……

After the punishment passed, Chen Chen took a deep breath, touched the inner corner of his lips with his fingers, and hissed softly in pain, "You really bite..."

Du Xingwei squinted at Chen Chen's red eyes, and said in a low voice, "Don't joke about this kind of thing again."

Chen Chen raised his eyebrows, "Are you afraid of losing face in front of me?"

Du Xingwei raised his hand and wiped the corners of Chen Chen's eyes, but remained silent.

Chen Chen persisted, "I'm asking you something."

Du Xingwei closed his eyes, got up and wanted to leave this place of right and wrong.

How could Chen Chen let him go at this time, grabbed Du Xingwei's wrist and refused to let him go, and asked with a smile: "Is my question so difficult to answer?"

Du Xingwei whispered, "Chen Chen, don't make trouble."

Chen Chen opened his lips a little, and pointed at some bitten flesh that was congested with blood, "Look how you bit me? You told me not to make trouble."

In order for Du Xingwei to see the wound clearly, Chen Chen didn't close his mouth when he spoke, so his words were inevitably not clear, as if he was acting like a spoiled child.

Du Xingwei looked down at Chen Chen, even his teeth and tongue could be seen clearly.

Du Xingwei felt that Chen Chen did it on purpose.

However, he still dragged her and refused to let her go.

It was obvious that he should answer.

After a moment of stalemate, Chen Chen stood up first, staring at Du Xingwei's deep eyes, the two of them got close to each other, their appearance was both whispering and flirting, "Are you afraid of losing face in front of me?"

Du Xingwei's fingers trembled, and he was defeated, "What I fear most is losing face in front of you."

He answered seriously, with Chen Chen's figure in his eyes.

There was a smile in Chen Chen's eyes, extending along the line of the bridge of the nose to his cheeks, and then up to the corner of his lips, and entered his throat, "Don't be afraid, I won't laugh at you."

Du Xingwei's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he hummed in a low voice.

Afterwards, Chen Chen still explained the cause and effect clearly. After all, their relationship should not be so blatant in this age. It's really a bad dish.

As Chen Chen first expected, Du Xingwei just heard that it was the Chen family who wanted to refuse when they invited him to dinner because of gratitude, but when Chen Chen said that he had already refused but it was invalid, he was replaced by Chen Chen in the end. After the "family banquet", Du Xingwei really couldn't resist the temptation, and Chen Chen really complied as soon as he pushed it.

Du Xingwei wanted to bring some things there, but Chen Chen told him not to bring them. Originally, the reason for today was that the Chen family wanted to thank him. Isn't it too strange that he brought so many things?

But Du Xingwei felt that the nature was different.

Especially the word "family banquet" that Chen Chen said really hit him hard, he wanted to behave well.

So in the end, the two compromised with each other and decided to pick a basket of oranges.

Chen Chen also said: "This is good, my grandparents all like it, and they ate a lot of the citrus they picked from you last time."

Du Xingwei heard the words and said: "Then pick more."

Chen Chen: "This basket is enough."

The business at home is all done today, and there are so many people in the family making dinner, Chen Chen reckoned that he would not be able to help much when he went back, so he simply stayed with Du Xingwei for a while, and waited until the time on the watch was almost dinner Only then did he call Du Xingwei to go over.

On the way, the two met Chen Qian.

"I was thinking of calling you, but you came here unexpectedly."

Chen Chen raised his eyebrows, "It's better to come early than coincidentally."

Chen Qian couldn't refute.

Inside Chen's house, the smell of stewed chicken wafted out of the house and wafted all over the yard;

The firewood in the stove was burning extremely vigorously, and white rice was steamed in a large wooden bucket in the cauldron. Steamy air leaked out from the cracks in the wooden steaming lid, and the surrounding area was filled with water vapor, and there was a faint fragrance of fish.

The bacon in the pot next door has almost boiled dry. Wang Guizhi quickly filled the meat with a spatula. There was only oil left in the pot. Then he put three spoonfuls of bad chili, and quickly put the chopped cabbage into it and stir-fried. The stove was very hot. , Stir-fry for two turns, it’s almost done, add an appropriate amount of salt and turn it around, then pour the bacon down, add monosodium glutamate, soy sauce and garlic leaves and stir-fry evenly, a large pot of cabbage fried bacon is ready!

After the meat was fried out of the pan, Wang Guizhi continued to add oil, and fried the potato shreds in an enamel pot twice.

Finally, a cabbage tofu soup.

Wang Guizhi put the soup on, and when it boiled, Du Juan put the cut white tofu in and cooked it. Wang Guizhi looked at the tofu and thought it was not very good, "Today the tofu is not wrapped properly."

Feng Zhaodi, who was mixing cold dishes next to her, said, "Amei has gone back to her mother's house. Today's tofu was made by her daughter-in-law."

Wang Guizhi said: "It's not as good as Ah Mei's bag."

Feng Zhaodi said: "I originally planned to buy two pieces of frozen tofu, but it was sold out, so I can only buy white tofu, let's just eat it."

That being the case, Wang Guizhi has nothing to say, what can he do if he can't buy a good one?

Just as they were talking, they heard a commotion coming from the courtyard. When they looked around, they found that it was Chen Chen and Du Xingwei who had come over.

Wang Guizhi said with a smile: "It's a coincidence, just in time for dinner."

When the people in the kitchen were getting ready to take the bowls and chopsticks, Chen Chen and Du Xingwei had already entered the main room. Chicken was being stewed on the coal stove in the main room. Mrs. Li had just lifted the lid and felt that the chicken was ready. See them now When he came in, he hurriedly called Ren Fengxia to bring the big crock to the kitchen.

Chen Chen called someone.

Du Xingwei also called several elders, "Second Master Chen, Second Grandma Chen, Uncle Chen, Second Uncle Chen, Uncle Chen..."

Chen Xiangwu waved his hand in a friendly manner, "Xingwei is here, sit down quickly."

Du Xingwei put the basket of citrus on the table, "Everyone is kind, please take this citrus and sweeten your mouth."

Li's face was full of smiles, "I called you over for a meal, what else do you bring?"

Du Xingwei was actually a little nervous in his heart, but it wasn't intense. Speaking of it, he had to thank Chen Chen for helping him drive away the nervousness, and now his face was stable, "It's just knotted on the tree in the yard, no valuable."

Li said with a smile: "It tastes good!"

With that said, Mrs. Li went into her room and brought out some peanuts, melon seeds and candies, and there was also the tea that Liu Dongxue had just poured in on the table.

In the main room, apart from the two elders and Chen Chen, the three brothers of Chen Jiajian's generation were all there. Chen Jianye was not good at speaking, but Chen Jiandang was a good talker. He soon chatted with Du Xingwei, and the others made conversations from time to time. It's still quite lively.

While chatting, Chen Huaiqing rushed in from outside the house, "Grandma, my grandma said that the meal is ready."

Mrs. Li said: "Then let them serve the dishes and take the bowls and chopsticks."

Chen Huaiqing yelled and jumped out again.

Mrs. Li stood up and took the basket of citrus on the table into the house, and Chen Chen helped to pick up the unfinished candies, melon seeds and peanuts on the table.

Du Xingwei finished the remaining half cup of tea, got up and wanted to pick up the teacups, but was stopped by Feng Zhaodi who came in, "You all sit down, we will clean up."

Du Xingwei had no choice but to give the teacup to Feng Zhaodi.

Ren Fengxia came in with a rag and wiped the table clean.

This hall is so big that two Eight Immortals tables can be accommodated.

The old man asked Du Xingwei to sit at this table, and he got up and went into the room to take out the bottle of Moutai that he didn't want to drink before.

At the table where the old man was sitting, there were all tall and burly men.

The old man Chen Xiangwu and Chen Jiandang sat next to each other, Chen Jianjun and Chen Jianye brothers sat, Chen Chen relied on the legitimate reason that Du Xingwei knew him best, and sat on the same stool with Du Xingwei, and the last side was Chen Cong and Chen Jin brothers.

Others sat at other tables.

Mrs. Li went to the kitchen to take the helm, and the dishes were served quickly one after another.

A dish of stewed chicken with mushrooms, a dish of steamed marinated fish with bad chili, and a dish of fried bacon with cabbage, these are the three real meat dishes; then there is a dish of fried shredded potato, a dish of tofu soup with cabbage, and a dish of shredded radish mixed with sauerkraut.

There are six dishes in total, and each dish is filled to the brim in a large bowl, which looks extremely rich.

Du Xingwei had eaten more sumptuous noodles than this before, but he had never been so confused as he was now, especially when Chen Xiangwu poured wine for him like a junior, and then Chen Jiandang and the others told him to eat more When the time comes, the sour and astringent feeling is even stronger.

However, since Du Xingwei had a complete falling out with the Du family, he has always shown others with coldness and ruthlessness, his face is always as if wearing a mask, and there is no change in emotion, so apart from Chen Chen, who knows more about him, on the table, No one else noticed that something was wrong with Du Xingwei.

Chen Chen hoped that tonight's "family banquet" would be full of joy in Du Xingwei's memory, so not only did he not laugh at him, but he helped him calmly adjust his emotions.

"Do you want soup?" Chen Chen asked him in a low voice.

Du Xingwei took a light breath, "Drink later."

Chen Chen glanced at him, then got up and went to the kitchen to bring the only three clean bowls left in the cupboard.Then he gave Chen Xiangwu a bowl of chicken soup first, "Grandpa, drink less wine and drink more chicken soup, this will nourish your body."

Chen Xiangwu held the wine bowl, "I just love this sip of your grandpa."

Chen Chen filled the second bowl and said, "It's enough to drink enough wine, don't drink too much."

"That's still a long way off." Chen Xiangwu said to Du Xingwei, "Xingwei, hurry up and drink what's in your bowl, and fill it up."

Chen Chen thought that Du Xingwei would say "I'm almost done", but in the end, he directly picked up the wine bowl and drank the rest of the wine, "Then I'll drink some more with Chen Erye."

Chen Xiangwu was very happy, "I just want to be refreshing!"

Miscalculated Chen Chen: "..."

He pretended that he didn't think much about it, and then gave the good chicken soup to Mrs. Li at the next table, which made Mrs. Li very happy, thinking that this grandson was the most filial.

Chen Chen was actually just implementing the safest plan.

There are three bowls in total, so you can't arrange for yourself with so many elders, right?

So, just give it to the family with the highest seniority, and the last one left, just give it to the guest in their eyes.

He originally went to get the bowl to serve Du Xingwei with soup.

"Less alcohol, more soup."

The author has something to say:

Riwan, it's late_(:зゝ∠)_

Explain the price problem in the article:

The plot itself in the article is set in 1984 (now developed to 85). At this time, the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee has been held, and the policy of reform and opening up has been implemented for several years.

Before the reform and opening up, the state paid for the profits and losses of state-owned factories; after the reform and opening up, the factories were responsible for their own profits and losses, and the government was no longer responsible for the losses of state-owned factories.

We all know that after the reform and opening up, the domestic economy, which had been suppressed for more than ten years, became active again, and various private factories and self-employed businesses emerged in an endless stream. It was at this time that the "going into the sea" began. It is precisely because of the rise of these private enterprises that the state-owned The factory caused a huge impact. Under such a violent impact, most of the state-owned factories are going downhill. It is good for the factory not to make a profit, but not to lose money.Under such circumstances, the wages of workers in state-owned factories would not rise, and this situation continued until the wave of layoffs in the 90s;

Let’s look at the needs of the people. At that time, two years after the end of the ten-year Cultural Revolution, the people’s demand for materials was extremely huge. For a long time since then, the government has been solving this problem, and then developed the economy frantically and tried every means Let the common people have money in their hands.

Therefore, at this stage, people have a great demand for materials, but the market supply is insufficient, so this will lead to rising prices. From the early 80s to the 90s, domestic prices have continued to rise, and the increase has not been a single point. two points.However, the wages of the workers have not changed, and even some workers have not even received their wages when the layoffs hit.

That is to say, income and expenditure are not equal.

At that time, people spent most of their income on basic living needs, instead of pursuing higher-level enjoyment like today.

You know, according to the historical data of our country, the Engel coefficient in Beijing in 85 was 50.6%. What does this data represent?It means that in 85, Beijing just got rid of poverty and entered the stage of food and clothing.

Not to mention other more remote and poorer places, where the people will only be poorer and have less money.

Therefore, don't use today's wages and food prices to convert the prices of the 80s. The national conditions of the two eras are different, and the two are not the same at all!
