Finally, it's time to talk about Ning Weimin.

Don't look at this kid as a guy who guards the door of the hotel and manages the ticket, but doesn't he have some special skills?

He used the foreign exchange coupons in his hand to buy some fresh food and distributed it to each family as a New Year's gift.

Of course, since his money has to be used for various collectibles, it is of great use, and he will definitely not buy anything valuable.

In fact, I just sent two catties of colorful foreign sugar and two boxes of Liangyou brand cigarettes to each family.

It's as if he's going to get married, and the total cost is only eleven or twelve yuan.

But the problem is that it's clever to send these things.

You must know that in these years, the mainstream of candy enjoyed by ordinary people is "sour three colors" and "plum candy".

"Peanut Nougat" and "Red Shrimp Halva", those are absolutely high-end goods, and not many people are willing to buy them.

During the Chinese New Year, if there are children at home, the more common choice is to buy sugar melons and Kanto sugar.

It's only eight cents, which is enough for the children to gnaw their cheeks so painfully that they will eat a Spring Festival.

The various foreign sugars that Ning Weimin bought, for everyone, are better than never seen before.

Although the taste is very ordinary, it is a foreign product, which can make everyone feel an exotic feeling, which is more beautiful than the feeling of eating a white rabbit.

And the Hong Kong cigarettes, in fact, are not easy to smoke at all, choking.

But in Ning Weimin's words, isn't it just a taste of freshness.

Several families used it to entertain guests who came to pay New Year's greetings, which had a lot of face and could cause interesting discussions.

Besides, in addition to these flashy gadgets, Ning Weimin also has other really affordable ones for everyone.

Before daring to make the plot, he and Zhang Shihui went to the unit to play poker several times in advance because they were on night duty.

I made friends with a chef named Yang Zi in the bargain shop.

Although it's no fun to go directly to someone to eat and drink, after all, you can settle a little bit, and that is a duck rack.

Eat roast duck in a roast duck restaurant, because the chef slices the roast duck, only pick the most essence and easy to cut the local slices.

Therefore, there is often a lot of bone-related meat left on the duck rack.

This kind of meat is the most fragrant, and it is more nutritious to take home and make soup.

And there is no doubt that if the customer buys a whole roast duck, then according to the rules, the duck rack should also be handed over to the customer to take away.

But the problem is that ordinary people rarely had the opportunity to eat roast duck back then.

Ordinary people occasionally taste it, and they don't understand the rules that you can bring back the duck rack.

As for the master who often eats, this situation is basically an official banquet.

These people pay attention to their image, and if they finish eating and then go back with a duck shelf, it will not look good.

So in this way, as many roast ducks are sold in the "cheap shop", there are basically as many duck racks left.

Although the restaurant also has a policy, saying that the duck rack can be taken out.

However, considering the situation of the common people back then, once it is widely advertised, I am afraid that this duck rack will immediately be in short supply.

Therefore, for the sake of internal interests, this article is constipated.

The duck rack has directly become the welfare of the restaurant staff and the heads of various departments of the hotel.

Similarly, as Ning Weimin and Zhang Shihui, since the kitchen of the cheap shop has buddies, of course it is not a problem to get a few.

This Yang Zi deliberately left twelve duck racks for Ning Weimin and Zhang Shihui the day before Chinese New Year's Eve.

They were all wrapped in oiled paper, tied up, and taught them how to make soup when they went back.

Zhang Shihui took four, kept two for herself, and gave them to his girlfriend's family.

Ning Weimin took eight, in addition to his own, he also happened to give two to the three neighbors.

So on Chinese New Year's Eve this year, several families in Fan'er Hutong No. 2 Courtyard were able to stew a pot of duck shelf soup and drink.

So all in all, since there are so many good things, who can say that this is not a fat year?

Of course, the Chinese New Year also inevitably needs to create an atmosphere.

So the last purchase of the "busy year", firecrackers are indispensable.

In those days, there are not as many types of firecrackers as there were thirty years later.

All of them add up to only a dozen, and almost all of them are more traditional categories.

But among them, it is also very particular.

For example, firecrackers and firecrackers, small ones are called "whips", and large ones are called "cannons".

The cheapest type of "whip" is the "small whip" produced in Liuyang, Hunan.

Dark red wrapping paper, the "whip" is also red, and the price is accumulated in units of two cents and one hundred heads.

Because of its small size and small charge, this cannon is less noisy when fired, and even if you put your fingernails between its buttocks and fire it directly on your hands, it will not hurt anyone.

At the same time, because of the cheap price, it was the favorite of children in the capital back then.

But even so, due to the low level of consumption in society as a whole.

Children buy this kind of "little whip" and go home, and they rarely set off and hang it whole.

Usually, it is often carefully dismantled and set off separately.

Even if there is a squib, it will break open and ignite the gunpowder in it, which is called "thorn flower".

There is another kind of "whip" in the capital, which is the locally produced "steel whip", also known as the "check whip".

This kind of "whip" is divided into two sizes, the small one can top the Liuyang "small whip", and the large pencil is thick.

It is an earth-colored firecracker, with a long lead, a large charge, and a large sound when it explodes, so the price is also higher.

100 "small whips" are sold for three cents, and "big whips" are sold for four cents, and the regulation and price calculation methods are similar to those of "small whips".

In addition to the above two kinds of "whips", the remaining "big two kicks", "small two kicks" and "hemp thunder" will be divided into the "cannon" category.

Because of their great power, these three things are basically out of the category of children's entertainment and exclusive to adults.

The price of the "sophomore kicking" is five cents a head.

Although the size of the Little Second Kick is smaller than the Big Second Kick, and the sound is not as loud as the "Big Second Kick", it is relatively cheap, and the price in the store is seven cents and two ends.

However, the loudest, the largest, and the most expensive one is "Ma Leizi".

This kind of "cannon" costs five cents, ten rings and one "hanging", commonly known as "ten rings and one thunder".

Its cartridge uses a lot of hemp fibers to bind, and because of the large amount of charge, the sound of burning is also very loud.

You can also see a noticeable flash of light, and you can feel a clear aftershock echo.

Finally, I have to talk about several kinds of "fireworks", there are no "dripping tendons" this year, but there is one of the most miniature fireworks that is more suitable for girls, called "mouse".

The name is a bit indecent, but it's very vivid and interesting, and the gray grains are really similar to rat.

It didn't make a lot of noise when it was fired, and after it was lit, it rolled on the ground a few times, stabbed a few blue sparks, and finally jumped into the air, and disappeared like a firefly.

I don't know if it's because of the high difficulty of production, the price is only a penny, and there is no money, which eventually led to the extinction of this kind of fireworks.

Anyway, Ning Weimin has never seen it.

When he saw this thing, his eyes were full of incredulity.

I thought it was very interesting, so I bought it for three dollars at once.

And almost as interesting as "rat", there is also a kind of "drill monkey" with three cents and two.

This cheap firework is a small stick with a medicine cartridge attached to it.

When lit, it can fly into the sky with a long tail of fire and a shrill whistle.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the common people associate it with Sun Dasheng, who is flying through the clouds, and it is so named.

Ning Weimin came for another three yuan.

As for the others, they are popular fireworks such as "Cannon Double Lights", "Night Pearl", "Nine Phoenix Chaoyang" and "Box Flowers" on the ground.

These varieties have been preserved ever since.

According to Ning Weimin's thoughts, he probably thought that it was easy for you to make and the price was expensive.

Fireworks manufacturers will always be keen on production if they have sufficient profits.

In short, buy firecrackers on the day.

In addition to the two thousand-ringing whips, Ning Weimin's arms were full of rat and sky monkeys.

As a result, he didn't expect that he wanted to buy something fresh and fun, but he didn't think it through.

When I entered the courtyard, all I heard was disgust.

Whoever sees what he buys has to say a few words.

Master Luo said, "Wei Min, buy so much rat, you are not afraid to recruit rats for your family." Don't put it in the yard, just go outside. ”

Aunt Bian also said, "Why do you get such a monkey to come." This thing is the most likely to catch fire, and it can't be prepared to burn anywhere. Minzi, you can find trouble for your aunt. ”

Kanshud was even more strongly opposed.

"Hey, you stinky boy, put all these firecrackers out of the house, don't go into the house. ”

"I said you don't want to live over? For the New Year, you have to get 300 rats and 200 monkeys. ”

"Do you think our family is too peaceful? I really want a Mars, our two houses are absolutely lively. ”

But the most faceless is Mi Xiaohui.

This teenage little hairy girl is the most childish, which pot is not opened.

"Brother Wei Min, you like to put our girls' fireworks so much? Don't all men put two kicks and hemp thunderbolts? Hehe, you still like to drink bayberry soda, you are really funny......

Drink, there is not a word that is good.
