Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village
Chapter 242 It’s Mid-Autumn Festival Again
Time flies, and soon three months have passed, and it is the annual August 15th.
During the three months, Sha Zhu continued to stir the wok as usual, and Yan Jiecheng also habitually bought steamed buns from Qin Huairu because he really was not full.
Three months have passed, and Yan Jiecheng is still working in the workshop every day as a master, helping his fellow apprentices, and most of the time they are carrying raw materials.
Every time Yan Jiecheng went to see Zheng Zhong, he was told that this was for his own good and that he should lay a solid foundation.
Yan Jiecheng had no choice but to obey the solemn instructions and continue to transport the raw materials honestly.
During this period, Yan Jiecheng also went to see Yi Zhonghai, but he went empty-handed.
His words revealed that he wanted to change his master, but Yi Zhonghai ignored him and pretended not to understand. In the end, Yan Jiecheng gave up the idea.
After three months of rest, Yi Zhonghai was able to walk with crutches, but he could not throw away the crutches for the time being. Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to continue resting at home.
Fortunately, he still has some family assets to support him, so he is not unable to make ends meet.
Today is August 15th, and the office is closed again.
The holiday benefits had been distributed to everyone the day before, and they were still relatively affordable daily necessities, and of course mooncakes were indispensable.
Li Jinzhi learned from the last lesson and stopped showing off in front of others.
Everyone in the office gathered in Hope Village again, and this time Xu's father and mother also went.
The mooncakes prepared by Hope New Village are very special, as they are made entirely of sugar.
Just boil white sugar or rock sugar into syrup, add available pigments, pour it into various prepared molds, wait for it to be completely cooled and solidified, then demould it, and you will get pure sugar mooncakes in a variety of colors and two sizes, one catty and half a catty.
The other mooncakes were prepared by Liu Guozheng, who specially built a temporary production line in the Second World to produce several batches of mooncakes, mainly with the fillings commonly seen in later generations, the classic five-nut mooncakes, as well as fruit mooncakes, jujube paste mooncakes, red bean paste, mung bean paste, lotus seed paste mooncakes, as well as fresh meat mooncakes, beef mooncakes, ham mooncakes and egg yolk mooncakes. There are as many as ten kinds.
In addition to employee benefits, Liu Guozheng did not forget the poor children in the welfare home. He prepared a gift for each child.
Of course, Zhang Xia, the street director, Jiang Weimin, the secretary of Dongcheng District, Yue Zhen from Hongqi Police Station, and Jiao Kangzhan from Jingxi Mining District, all of whom have a good relationship with the group, also sent mooncakes and holiday greetings.
This time the village is holding a fishing competition, which was also planned long ago. Theoretically, everyone can participate, provided that you know how to make a fishing rod.
Because you need to make the fishing rod for this competition yourself, the village only provides bamboo poles, fishing lines and fish hooks.
As for floats and baits, you have to figure them out on your own.
This can be considered as a disguised elimination of some people.
After a morning of competition, it was Master Yuan who finally won the first place.
Liu Guozheng came second.
Nan Yi is third.
Liu Guozheng did not cheat in this competition and won the second place entirely based on his own strength.
The results of other people are not worth mentioning; they participated just to make up the numbers.
In the evening we get together to eat moon cakes and admire the moon.
"Xiao Nian Nian, come here, I'll give you a special mooncake."
"Brother Zheng, you are so nice."
The little girl took two steps at a time and came to Liu Guozheng. The mooncake in front of Liu Guozheng was different from others. Others were round, but his was square.
"Brother Zheng, why isn't this mooncake round?"
“So this is a special mooncake.”
"What's so special about it?"
"You'll know after you taste it."
"it is good."
Wen Niannian picked up the square mooncake and took a bite.
Let me tell you here that when northerners eat mooncakes, they will cut them with a knife unless they are one pound heavy. The smaller ones are eaten directly. There is no need to cut a small mooncake into several halves like in the south.
“Pooh, pooh, pooh…”
"Brother Zheng, you lied to me. I don't like you anymore."
Wen Niannian took a bite, and her mouth was immediately filled with the taste of leeks.
"Ha ha ha ha."
"Xiao Nian Nian, let's see what's stuck?"
"That's right, Xiao Nian Nian, is it really that unpalatable?"
"It seems that this month is really special."
"..."
Everyone was talking at once. Wen Niannian was about to cry.
"Xiao Niannian, since they all want to see it, go give each of them a piece and let them have a taste."
"Okay, okay, Brother Zheng, I'm starting to like you again."
After hearing what Liu Guozheng said, the little girl's eyes lit up. She picked up the square mooncake with a smile and gave one to everyone.
"Ah? Chives and eggs?"
"Brother Zheng, you are amazing."
"Guozheng, what were you thinking? You made a dish with chive and egg filling?"
"That's right, Brother Zheng, if you want to eat it, why don't we just make dumplings?"
"Hahaha, not bad, this mooncake with leek and egg filling really has a unique flavor."
"Oh my, I've learned something new."
"Brother Zheng, are there any other mooncakes?"
Although the mooncakes were filled with leeks and eggs, everyone ate them all, whether they liked it or not.
“Egg yolk mooncake.”
"Ah, is there really such a thing?"
“Fresh meat mooncake”
"Brother Zheng, I give in."
“Spicy beef mooncake.”
"Brother Zheng, how many kinds did you make?"
"How about ham mooncakes and vegetable mooncakes?"
Everyone was stunned. They really didn’t expect that mooncakes could be made like this?
I don’t know what Liu Guozheng is thinking.
"Guozheng, are there really fresh meat mooncakes?"
"Yes."
"Come on, let me have a taste. I haven't had it in ages."
As a former capitalist, Lou Zhenhua had eaten mooncakes like fresh meat and egg yolk mooncakes. He still remembers the unique taste.
Liu Guozheng went to the cafeteria and brought out several kinds of mooncakes, wanting everyone to try them.
Mooncakes like fresh meat and egg yolk are relatively less sweet, so it’s okay to eat one more.
Just remember to brush your teeth before going to bed.
"Mm, good, not bad, it tastes like before, no, it tastes better than before."
Lou Zhenhua was very satisfied. He didn't expect to eat fresh meat mooncakes this year. He hadn't eaten it for several years.
"Brother Zheng, give me the spicy beef."
“I want to try the ham mooncake.”
"I'll try the egg yolk mooncake. I heard it has a long history."
"Hey, then I'll try the vegetable mooncakes and see what the difference is."
"Brother Zheng, give us some more leeks and eggs."
"..."
In fact, as long as you can make a delicious flavor, there will be people willing to try it.
Although people are eating mooncakes and appreciating the moon, who has time to look at the moon at this moment? Everyone is tasting mooncakes of various flavors, and the whole village is filled with happy laughter.
