Chapter 53: Sky-high moon cakes
The old man opened the plastic bag on the table, took out a piece of moon cake, laughed, and said to the other two: "Look at my little apprentice, how intimate, I know that I like Wuren, so I specially bought a lot." ”
Everyone also followed the old man's words to see the contents of the bag clearly, all of them were five-kernel mooncakes, most of them showed disdain, and a few people were silent.
The old man didn't care, took a bite and chewed, and asked Zhang Kuan, "How much is this moon cake?"
"Two dollars for one, three dollars for two, I bought ten dollars. Zhang Kuan replied truthfully, in his opinion, it is good to have moon cakes to eat during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but in previous years, he was lonely during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he couldn't even eat enough.
The old man nodded and beckoned Zhang Kuan to eat, Du Kui wanted to add wine to Zhang Kuan, Zhang Kuan hurriedly covered the wine glass, "Brother Kui, don't drink today, I'll leave later." ”
Du Kui said: "Come and drink two cups, even if you are in a hurry, you have to give your master a cup, and the senior brother can only leave with a cup." ”
Zhang Kuan was helpless when he heard this, so he had to take his hand away.
The old man ate a few more bites of five-kernel mooncakes, turned his head to the white-faced middle-aged man in the west and said, "Changqing, where are your mooncakes?"
The white-faced middle-aged man known as Changqing glanced back, and immediately a lean man in a suit walked quickly with a box in his hand and gently placed it on the table. Changqing took the box and opened the red cloth on it, revealing the outer packaging box made of red oak inside, which was very ancient, with a painting of Chang'e running to the moon carved in hollow, and the seal below was written with the beautiful scenery of the good day.
Changqing opened the box again, and there was actually a layer of golden metal packaging inside, as if he knew that everyone was puzzled, Changqing explained: "It's just a layer of gold leaf wrapped on the outside, and the inside is aluminum alloy." ”
When he opened the gold-plated box, Zhang Kuan didn't want to eat the moon cakes inside, but wanted to take the box away.
However, when the moon cake was taken out, Zhang Kuan was still taken aback, and the moment the box was opened, a cool air rushed in, it turned out that the box was covered with a layer of ice, and only four moon cakes were placed on the crystal-like inner packaging, and they were only as small as chess, not even half of the five-kernel moon cake.
Seeing this, Zhang Kuan was already interested, and he didn't know what kind of stuffing the moon cake was and how much it could be sold for.
Changqing glanced at Zhang Kuan, seemed to blink, picked up a piece with a soup spoon, and actually put it in front of Zhang Kuan first, "Junbao, you taste it first this year." ”
Zhang Kuan was startled and glanced at the master and Du Kui. Old Man Gu was still the same, eating the last bite of the five-kernel mooncake, Du Kui smiled at him, "Your senior brother will make a kind of crescent moon cake every year, let everyone try it, and see what ingredients are used." You're here this year, and the first bite is given to you. ”
Zhang Kuan felt bored after listening to it, isn't it just a piece of moon cake, the packaging is a little more gorgeous, there is some mysterious glory, and it is the first bite. At that moment, the turtle came out, picked up the chopsticks and sent it to the mouth, worried that the moon cake would choke, so he ate half of it first, thinking that he would bite something, but he didn't expect the golden powder to stay at the entrance for a while, and it turned into a stream of ice water, and the sweetness overflowed from the mouth and went straight to the heart. If you think about it carefully, it seems to be some kind of sweet powder, but it is sweet but not greasy, with a little sweet and sour, a bit of strawberry feeling. After a while, he bit some miscellaneous fruits, and this time Zhang Kuan ate them, nothing more than peanuts, walnuts, and melon seeds, which are still filled with five kernels.
After swallowing all the moon cakes, he found that everyone was looking at him, Changqing and Du Kui were smiling, while the others were envious.
The old man wiped his mouth with a tissue, tapped his fingers on the table and said, "After taking a bite, tell me how you feel." ”
Zhang Kuan was ashamed, he didn't eat what the skin on the outside was made of, and replied honestly, "It's smooth and soft, sweet but not greasy, it's a five-kernel filling." ”
Hearing Zhang Kuan's comment, everyone was indignant, but the three people on the table of the Eight Immortals laughed.
A man in a white suit came from the crowd, stopped in front of Zhang Kuan, and said to him: "This is a yam and blueberry flavored Bazhen moon cake, the selected ingredients are pure natural and pollution-free green food, Bazhen refers to walnuts, raisins, peanut kernels, pine nuts, chestnuts, almonds, melon seeds, hazelnuts and other eight kinds of nuts, the skin is a mixture of yam powder and blueberry jam made of tiling and stacking technology, must be frozen storage, open and eat, otherwise it will affect the taste." ”
Hearing him say so much, Zhang Kuan only felt cumbersome, holding up the remaining half of the piece and asking, "How much does such a piece have to be sold for?"
The man in white pursed his lips and smiled, first stretched out a finger, and then compared it to eight.
Zhang Kuan exclaimed: "One piece costs eighteen yuan?"
The man's face turned black to the bottom of the pot, and he said, "It's ten thousand." ”
"Eighteen thousand?" Zhang Kuan almost shouted, looked at the half piece in front of him in surprise, stared at the beads of his eyes for a long time, and muttered: "Good boy, I ate an apple 6 in one bite just now." ”
This sentence made a few people laugh, and the Changqing nodded on WeChat, and said to the man in white: "Immediately arrange for someone to make another box, I want to give it to the little junior brother for the holiday." ”
As soon as he heard this, his wide eyes bulged out, one piece was ten thousand eight, and he opened his mouth to give himself a box, four yuan is not seventy-two thousand, with this money, why don't you give money directly, and I will buy a gift myself?
But in front of so many people, he was embarrassed to say that, it was a shame.
I remembered that the man said that he would open it and eat it, otherwise it would deteriorate, and the half piece in front of him was 9,000 yuan, and it was only worth 8,000 when exposed to the air, so he opened his mouth and stuffed it all into his mouth.
Old Man Gu looked at him and asked, "What do you think, how about your senior brother come up with this sky-high moon cake?"
Zhang Kuan was young, and after eating a sky-high moon cake, he felt familiar with the person in front of him, and he didn't hide it when he spoke, and said bluntly: "It's delicious, it's too expensive, it's feasible to give gifts, but it's not practical." If it was three years ago, this box was replaced with pure gold, wrapped in aluminum foil, and given to officials, it would be very popular. ”
After Zhang Kuan finished speaking, the three people on the table all changed their faces and looked at Zhang Kuan with admiration.
Du Kui handed the wine glass to Zhang Kuan, "That's good, respect your master." ”
Zhang Kuan poured wine for the old man according to his words, toasted him for his good health, and drank it in one gulp.
He took the wine jug and wanted to pour wine for Changqing, but the man in white next to him stretched out his hand to catch the wine jug, but Changqing stopped him, "I met my little junior brother for the first time, so I should have a drink." The man in white took his hand away.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Kuan was secretly dissatisfied, isn't it just pouring a glass of wine, how precious is it, and he doesn't let himself pour it? It's not because there is a layer of brother-teacher relationship, and Lao Tzu doesn't bother to pour it for you.
After pouring a cup at the moment, the two of them did it, and Changqing said: "Speaking of which, you are my nephew, and now you have become a junior, I will go to your house in two days, and we will have a good chat." ”
Zhang Kuan's heart moved, and he asked, "Senior brother's surname is Fu?"
Changqing nodded and smiled, "Exactly, Fu Changqing." ”
Only then did Zhang Kuan understand why the man in white was nervous, it turned out that the person in front of him was Fu Changqing, who was known as the Emperor of Weiyang, the chairman of Qinfeng Group, and a representative of the Municipal People's Congress.
After drinking with Fu Changqing, Zhang Kuan poured another cup for Du Kui and said, "Brother Kui, I have to leave after drinking this cup, there is still something to do." ”
These words fell on the ears of the old man, it was very strange, "You kid, when others heard about Fu Changqing, they couldn't wait to stick to him, he can change a person's fate with one word, you kid is strange, and you are in a hurry to leave?"
Zhang Kuan said with a smile: "Others stick to him, that's because I don't have the affection of this senior brother, I have your old man's face, I don't need to speak, the senior brother will do it for me if he should help me, I can use it to stick to him." ”
This is Zhang Kuan's gangster nature, and his naughty words are extremely beautiful, which provokes Fu Changqing and Old Man Gu to laugh together.
At that moment, he picked up the wine glass and Du Kui and said, "Let's go one of the two." ”
When he finished drinking, Fu Changqing coughed and said, "How can you be called brothers with Uncle Du Kui?
"Senior Brother Du Kui?" Zhang Kuan turned his head to look at Du Kui, "Why are you my senior uncle?"
Du Kui smiled embarrassedly, "The old man and I both studied under Mr. Xiao Zhongwu, but he is the oldest and I am the youngest. ”
Zhang Kuan then figured it out, no wonder Du Kui sent himself here as soon as something happened, first, the old man's brand is big enough, and even Fu Changqing is the old man's apprentice, so Heilin dares not to give face? Second, Du Kui has this relationship, and he is sure that the old man must accept himself as an apprentice. After thinking about this and doing it for a long time, it turned out that it was Du Kui who saved him at the beginning. couldn't help but be moved, and made a gesture to Du Kui again.
Suddenly it occurred to me that Xiao Zhongwu was the martial soul of Weiyang, so where did Du Kui learn the ability of the three hands? But now there are many people, it is not easy to ask, and there will be fewer people to ask when there are fewer people that day.
After drinking a circle, Zhang Kuan got up and said goodbye, saying that he had something to do. And they did not keep him, but let him go.
Zhang Kuan went outside, but he didn't see Zhang Yanling, and he felt strange, so he took out his mobile phone to call.
It turned out that Yanling scolded Gu Fengge for the fox spirit just now, although she didn't make a sound, but her mouth shape was seen by Gu Fengge, so she had the intention to trick her, took her to the carport, and told her that the car was wide and let her push it out. But he jumped away and walked away.
Because there was no key, Zhang Yanling could only push away, and as soon as she turned around, she saw a black dog behind her, looking at her viciously with her tongue out.
Seeing that she was afraid, the animal became more and more fierce, and had already made a look of attacking, when a little boy about seven or eight years old came next to him, licking a popsicle, hanging his nose, and asked leisurely: "Who are you, why do you want to steal my electric car, quickly spread the handlebars, otherwise Hei Hei will really bite you." ”
Yanling was frightened enough by the dog, and quickly released the handlebars when she heard the words, but the dog still didn't follow and continued to stare at her, gurgling in her throat, getting closer and closer.
Yanling was about to cry in fright, and hurriedly asked the little boy for help, "Little brother, call your dog away." ”
The little boy sniffled, "Then you have to promise me one condition." ”
Yanling hurriedly said: "Okay, what conditions can you mention quickly." ”
The guy grinned, "You have to be my daughter-in-law." ”
Yan Ling instantly smiled bitterly, and said in her heart that this little ghost was only a few years old, and he knew that he was threatening, so he raised his face and scared him, "Hurry up and call the dog away, or I will beat you." ”
The little boy cut off, "If you don't promise me, I'll leave." At the same time, the black dog continued to press forward, and suddenly bit up and shook Yanling's leg for a while. When she boarded, she screamed in fright, but she didn't dare to move.
"Okay, okay, I promise you, get the dog away. ”
The little boy shook his head and said, "It's not okay to just promise, you have to give me a token of love." ”
Yanling was also anxious, asked what you wanted, and quickly said, I don't have anything else on me.
The little boy laughed wickedly, "Take off your bra and throw it to me, and I'll call the dog away immediately." ”
As soon as she heard this, Yanling went crazy and scolded loudly: "Little rascal, you get out of here!" As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a few hoots, and four or five big dogs rushed over, barking wildly around Yanling, and a few of them had approached Yanling's calves, and the saliva in the dogs' mouths splashed onto Yanling's legs. This time, Yanling didn't care much, her hand reached behind to unbutton it, and then pulled out her bra from the front and threw it on the little boy, "Here you go, hurry up and tell the dog to get out." ”
The little boy picked up the bra and looked at it, and suddenly ran on the ground, and Yanling went crazy with anger and yelled.
Zhang Kuan couldn't find Yanling everywhere, and Yanling didn't answer the phone, and was looking around, when he suddenly heard a woman screaming, his heart tightened, and he ran along the sound.
Gu Fengge took Zhang Yanling's bra and said angrily: "I didn't expect this woman to really have such big breasts, she is really more popular than people." It turned out that Gu Fengge thought that Zhang Yanling was wearing a bra with thick cotton pads, so she deliberately asked her younger brother to tease her, and let her know that the fox spirit is not something that can be scolded casually.
When she returned to the backyard, Zhang Kuan was already running around chasing a few dogs with a stick, scolding and scolding in his mouth, "Damn, Lao Tzu sees that your skin is itchy, why don't you force Lao Tzu to eat dog meat on a hot day?"
