Chapter 712 The rules cannot be broken
"Hey, when did you learn to brag?" Zhou Jing said with a smile, "Your grandfather practiced medicine for decades and wrote a medical book. How could he be surpassed by you?"
Those who write books nowadays are not like the typosers who are deliberately given the title of "online writers" in later generations. They have a very high status!
Just look at the group of people from decades ago.
It’s okay for Xun Ge to curse Chiang Kai-shek (PS: after all, it has nothing to do with Zhou Shuren!), and a large number of intellectuals such as Ba Jin and Lao She can all hear directly from the emperor!
Such prestige and status are enough to make a small-time author who can only earn a little pocket money envious!
"I am also the editor of this book." Chen Feng said calmly, "My name is below my grandfather's editor-in-chief."
"Really?" Zhou Jing was a little uncertain. "I'll go check it out this afternoon."
"Uncle, what do you want to ask?"
Chen Feng was a little puzzled. They had been drinking the well water he mixed, and their health was getting better and better, without any illness or pain. Why did they mention their medical skills?
Zhou Jing hesitated for a long time and his face almost turned red.
"Forget it, I'm fine."
In the end, he decided to wait until his next trip to Sijiu City to ask the old man.
Chen Feng was worried about some danger, so he asked, "Uncle, what can't you say? I'm not an outsider."
Zhou Jing asked in a voice that was almost inaudible to ordinary people: "Is it true that eating oysters can improve sexual performance?"
Chen Feng curled his lips. That’s it?
Looking at my uncle who looked so embarrassed and wished he could bury his head in the ground, I could only sigh that this era without cars was so innocent!
Women in later generations could drive at speeds exceeding 180 miles per hour, but nowadays they don’t even dare to ask about the efficacy of oysters in improving sexual function.
People’s hearts are corrupt!
At this moment, Chen Shaoshao shook his head with deep emotion!
"Yes, the Compendium of Materia Medica clearly states that it can strengthen male sexual function and detoxify. The Western devils also have similar sayings. In ancient Rome, there was an oyster fanatic who ate fifty oysters for breakfast every day. The French devil emperor Napoleon also declared that oysters were the best food for him to conquer women and enemies."
"Shh, keep your voice down. That's all I need to say. No need to say anything else." Zhou Jing said with a hot face and happily walked back to the kitchen.
Chen Feng thought about it and still didn't say "This may not be accurate."
This is indeed what Chinese and Western medicine say, but later studies have shown that there is no definite clinical evidence to prove this.
On the contrary, the triploid large oysters cultivated with extreme technology have their corresponding amino acids destroyed after grilling, and when mixed with alcohol, they may reduce human physical fitness and cause obesity (obesity reduces fertility).
The dog author who started with grilled oysters for one meal a week was in tears. No wonder he failed to lose weight!
Blame the grilled oysters!
"It's better to eat more oysters. My uncle's family can't grill small oysters anyway."
Putting this matter aside, Chen Feng entered the kitchen and was about to ask Zhou Jing if he wanted to go to the village committee (school), when he heard Zhou Jing whispering to his aunt: "Cook some oysters for dinner later, just give Dinghai, Fubo and Dad one or two, they can't stand too much yang energy, so let me do it."
"Xiao Feng brought a lot of canned meat and asked them to eat more pork."
Chen Feng lowered his raised foot back down, turned around, and said to his two cousins riding on the motorcycle: "I want to go back. Do you want to go to the town to play?"
"Cousin, we're out of money." Zhou Dinghai said with a bitter face.
Having no money to go shopping is undoubtedly a torture, at least for most men.
"Then I have no choice." Chen Feng walked forward with a smile, asked his two cousins to get off, and went up to start the engine.
"Grandpa, grandma, uncle, aunt, I'm going back."
"and many more!"
Grandpa came out with a bag and put it in the truck bed. The herbs in the bag had already been collected by Chen Feng and planted in the newly opened medicinal field.
"These are some of the fish that were sent by the families who went out to sea with you last time, as well as the sampans that arrived in time from the village. I've dried them for you, and you can take them back."
Chen Feng looked at the big bag, feeling quite helpless.
The bag was brought by Fatty Wang, the kind that could hold a teenager.
"How about this, Grandpa, I'll calculate it as one yuan per pound and give you 100 yuan. You help me estimate the weight of each family and give them the corresponding amount."
Grandpa smiled and said, "No, no, they collected more than a bag each last time, so it's only right for me to give you these."
"In the past, small boats that followed large ships out to sea to fish had to give half of their catch to the captain who was in charge of leading the way."
"Without the captain leading us to find the fish, everyone will go hungry!"
“If I hadn’t told you guys to borrow the village’s boat to fish, sell the fish in the village’s name, and repay the village’s favor, everyone would have wanted to give you 30%.”
Chen Feng couldn't say he was touched. After all, this was the rule in the past and an important way to achieve a win-win situation.
But when it comes to profit, there are many people who trample on rules and loyalty. It is really rare that this group of villagers still stick to the old rules!
Gao Qiqiang, the stinky fish seller, didn't want to eat fish at the beginning, but since others didn't follow the rules, why should he?
This change highlights that An Xin, who had been abiding by the rules for twenty years, is almost unreal.
However, in reality there are indeed people who stick to the rules, and as a result, they are destined to be exploited, suppressed, and live in poverty all their lives.
Chen Feng knew he couldn't do it, so he had more respect and love for this village.
People who follow the rules are the friends worth making friends with because you can trust them!
No matter how talented you are, if you don't follow the rules, you're still a loser!
"Well, I'll come earlier next time and take everyone to a farther sea."
"Hey, this is a good idea!" Grandpa nodded and praised: "It's a bad thing for you to give money. If you give money this time, maybe someone will ask you to give fish in exchange for money next time, which will easily break the rules and people's hearts."
Chen Feng nodded and humbly accepted the old man's criticism.
"Grandpa is right, the rules cannot be broken!"
The rules are to maintain the distribution of interests, or more accurately, to maintain the vested interests, but in this transaction, Chen Feng and the villagers are both vested interests.
Breaking the rules means damaging their own interests.
Thinking of this, Chen Feng no longer thought about repaying the big bag of dried seafood.
"Grandpa, I'm leaving now."
"it is good!"
Zhou Jing had also come out and watched Chen Feng leave.
"Dad, you didn't put all the oysters in there, did you?"
Grandpa asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Aren't you tired of eating?"
"Uh!"
Zhou Jing thought for a long time but couldn't say anything like this thing is a necessity for men. He couldn't think of it, couldn't say it, and felt very bitter!
The villagers knew that Chen Feng liked to "eat" oysters, conchs and other shellfish, and half of that big bag was filled with them.
"I've eaten too much pork and want to improve the taste."
After thinking for a long time, Zhou Jing came up with a lame excuse.
"Okay, then don't eat canned meat in the future. There are so many mackerels at home, so you can eat more mackerel meat." The old man said casually.
Zhou Jing's face turned pale instantly.
If you eat too much pickled Spanish mackerel, you will get sick of it!
