"Young man, have some sesame seed cakes, two for five cents," the sesame seed cake vendor said with a smile.
"Chicken blood soup is five cents a bowl, would you like a bowl, buddy?" the woman selling chicken blood soup said at the same time.
Only the Hui man selling cooked beef, wearing a Hui hat, remained silent.
"Two sesame seed cakes and a bowl of chicken blood soup, please." Wang Peng pulled out a handful of coins. "Brother and sister-in-law, do you need some change?"
"Yes, even small change is money." The pancake vendor hurriedly made pancakes.
Wang Peng never expected prices to be so cheap. A flatbread the size of his face only cost 25 cents, which would have cost at least 2 yuan in 2024.
"Hey bro, braised beef is five yuan a pound, want a pound?" The Hui man said as he saw him pull out a wad of cash. "Listen to me, money spent on yourself is the best."

Wang Song grew angrier the more he thought about it, and turned to look at his eldest daughter, Wang Xia, "Go and cook!"
"I can't cook, so let my mom do it," Wang Xia said weakly.
"If you don't know how to do it, then you won't learn. Let your mom teach you." Wang Song glared at him.
"Dad, let my second brother and fourth sister learn to cook. I really can't learn..."
"Shut up!" Wang Song pointed his finger at her nose. "If you dare talk back to me again, I'll slap you!"
Wang Xia quickly lowered her head, covered her face with her hands, and ran to the kitchen.
