Siheyuan: I have a system and I smile with satisfaction

In the end, Liu Guangfu still waited until Ni Daguo's cigarette butt was finished. There was only a small piece left, and if he smoked it again, he might burn his hands or mouth.

Liu Guangfu was also very capable. He simply broke off a piece of willow branch as thick as his finger, rubbed it in his hands a few times, twisted his fingers, and then rubbed the outer skin off in one go.

Insert the cigarette butt on it and smoke it directly with the willow bark.

WESTED!

Is this a natural cigarette holder?

If you stuff some cellulose filaments inside, it becomes a filter.

"Big Brother, if we put a cigarette holder on the cigarette butt, we won't waste that part. But we still need to fill it with something, otherwise it will be a bit soft and difficult to smoke."

Liu Guangfu was smoking happily while thinking about his ideas.

I lost it!

This kid is not stupid!

"Stupid! You don't have much experience. There are already cigarettes with filters, and there will be more and more in the future."

Ni Daguo didn’t know whether there were any in China, as he was not well versed in the historical details, but he knew that there must be some abroad.

Then it won’t be too long in China. I remember his father in his previous life said that there were filter cigarettes in the 1970s and 1980s.

"Is it true? I haven't even seen it." Liu Guangfu exhaled a smoke ring, enjoying it very much.

"Maybe, maybe we can't get it yet. Why are you asking this? You should go fishing. You are a little kid and you still have a smoking habit. Be careful not to damage your lungs."

Liu Guangfu chuckled and took small puffs of the cigarette, reluctant to smoke too much at once. This was a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes that cost one dollar, and it was the first time he smoked such a cigarette.

In fact, in this era, there are quite a few children aged 15 or 16 who smoke. Sixteen is considered an adult, and if their parents smoke, the children will follow suit.

Especially for boys, smoking and drinking are also seen as ways to appear masculine.

There are few people in the courtyard who don't smoke and drink.

But perhaps due to limited conditions, we cannot do what we want.

Zhao Xiaojiu also smoked, but he bought loose tobacco leaves and smoked them in a pipe.

Even so, I didn't dare to be casual. I would buy a few taels of tobacco leaves and smoke them for half a year.

As for drinking, I don’t dare to drink on normal days. I only have a few sips during festivals.

After smoking his cigarette, Liu Guangfu blew it into the hollow willow twigs he had made, and the sound was melodious and pleasant.

"What is this?" Ni Daguo thought for a long time, and suddenly remembered a story he had seen on the Internet. The willow flute was a small toy in the north, which children often played with. However, in later generations, in his time, there were not many children playing with it.

At least, he hadn't seen it.

Besides, he grew up in the South, where no one really played this.

After searching the original owner's memory, it was found that this thing indeed existed and the original owner had played with it when he was a child.

"Willow whistle!" Qin Xiaogang took over the topic, "Brother, do you want to play with it? I'll make one for you."

As he said this, he really went to play the willow flute.

When it was finished, Ni Daguo still had some childishness in his heart, mainly because he had never played it before. He tried to play it a few times and it was really good. The sound was lingering and melodious, and quite interesting.

After playing for a while, Liu Guangfu didn't catch any fish in the end. He was so restless that if he wanted to catch a fish, the fish had to be on the hook.

Then it's not him fishing, it's the fish hanging itself.

Liu Guangtian actually caught a fish weighing about half a pound, which made him very excited.

Ni Daguo collected all the small fish and shrimps in the water and a few big fish into the warehouse. There were not many of them, only about ten or so kilograms.

Then, he deliberately went to another place and put some loaches into the bucket behind their backs.

A half-pound fish is cheap, and the price is different from that of a big fish. And since there is only one of them, it is difficult to sell it at a good price.

Ni Daguo said, "Sell it to me, and I'll give you 1.4 cents, minus one-third of what I get."

Ni Daguo still gave it according to the market price.

Liu Guangtian happily gave the fish to Ni Daguo. One cent and four cents was enough to exchange for more than a pound of coarse grains.

Half a pound of fish is not enough to fill you up, but more than a pound of whole grains can fill you up.

The main reason was that there was no oil at home, and Liu Haizhong would not give them oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, etc. So with the participation of Bai Ganshi, they got an iron pot, a broken stove, two bowls, and two pairs of chopsticks, and they could finally cook and eat.

Even the wood and firewood for cooking had to be obtained by Liu Guangtian himself.

Liu Guangtian planned to buy coarse grains and make them into porridge to eat, so that he could fill his stomach.

Second Aunt secretly gave them some pickles, but nothing else.

Looking at the three fish caught by Qin Xiaogang, Liu Guangtian was very envious. When would he be able to have the same skill as Qin Xiaogang?

Qin Xiaogang chuckled, "Brother, let's just stew the fish today."

Ni Daguo nodded and stewed the fish in one pot, and then made some food for the loaches.

"We'll have another loach feast tomorrow. Look, I just caught a bunch of loaches on the other side."

Qin Xiaogang took a look at Ni Daguo's bucket and said, "Wow, it really is. It must be more than two kilograms."

"Almost. I scooped it up with a net." Ni Daguo shook his small fishing net.

"Brother, when did you bring your fishing net?"

"If I tell you everything I bring, doesn't that mean I have no privacy at all?" Ni Daguo would not give him any extra explanation.

Anyway, a small fishing net like this won’t take up much space.

Liu Guangfu drooled, "Big brother, I want to eat too."

"Want to eat?"

"Yeah, I want to eat."

"Okay."

When Liu Guangfu heard Ni Daguo's agreement, he said excitedly, "Brother Daguo is so nice. Fry it for me when we get home."

Liu Guangtian felt that it was inappropriate.

"Guangfu, no!"

"What's wrong with that? Big Brother said I can eat it." Liu Guangfu will follow whoever gives him food, drink and cigarettes.

Ni Daguo smiled and said, "I can give it to you, but I didn't say it's free. It doesn't have to be much. A bowl of fried loach will cost you three cents."

"Sanmao?" Liu Guangfu suddenly fell silent.

Just now, a fish cost only 2 cents. Ni Daguo took one third of it, and 1.4 cents was not a small amount for Liu Guangtian.

Otherwise, a half-pound fish has more bones than meat, and you can't sell it at a high price. If you can sell it for ten cents, it's already very good.

Ni Daguo knew that his grandfather in his previous life had said that when he was a factory worker in the 1970s, a finished carp head with half of the body only cost 1.5 cents.

But during the famine in the 1960s, prices were not expensive on the surface, but anything outside the plan was extremely expensive. On the black market at that time, a pound of food could cost three or four yuan, or even more.

Now is the time when the famine has just passed, and the prices are still a little higher than they will be later.

Maybe, the factory workers received subsidies at that time?

Ni Daguo didn't know the answer and had never asked for clarification, so he just listened to it as a story.

The master always asks him to recall the good times and remember the bad times. Can he really do that?
