Their gazes fell on the two bottles in Qian Feng's package. Jiang Chao, the comrade who had just asked the question, inquired, "Qian Feng, did your family send these to you?"
Qian Feng nodded and said, "This is mushroom sauce made by my mother. My younger sister said that it's convenient to eat fish and shrimp in Hainan Island, but the taste from our hometown is not available here, so she asked my mother to make two jars of mushroom sauce. The mushrooms were picked by her and her two younger brothers from the mountains."
Zhang Chao, who was dark-skinned, asked, "You have a younger sister? How old is she? Does she have a boyfriend?"
Qian Feng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Get out of here. My sister will only be nine years old after the New Year."

Qian Feng thought for a moment and said, "Okay, everyone can try my mother's cooking tonight."
Qian Feng didn't expect that the mushroom sauce would be so popular in the cafeteria. Even the group leader who came to eat praised Jin Jinxiu's cooking skills. After all, there were only shrimp and fish and other seafood here.

There were all kinds of cabbages, radishes, rice, flour, cooking oil, including soap, wooden combs, hair accessories, and so on. It was dazzling to look at.
Jin Jinxiu used the cloth coupons sent back by Qian Feng and Qian Yu to buy new clothes for Qian Mao, Qian Rao, and Qian Duoduo. Qian Duoduo was very happy about this. However, she disliked the bright red floral fabric that Jin Jinxiu had chosen. In the end, Jin Jinxiu chose a military green fabric to make clothes according to Qian Duoduo's request.
As they were about to leave the market, they ran into Qian Xiang and Guo Ni. Qian Xiang was carrying some things, while Guo Ni was empty-handed. Qian Duoduo winked at Qian Xiang, thinking to herself: "Brother Qian Xiang, well done!"
