117. Moon cakes
Early the next morning, Li Weiguo did not get up early, but slept lazily and did not get up until eight o'clock.
Today is September 9, 1965, and the Mid-Autumn Festival has arrived.
Li Weiguo obtained more than 50 catties of high-quality moon cakes in the simulation a few days ago, with flavors such as five-kernel filling, bean paste, jujube paste, lotus paste and so on.
He made an excuse to go out, but in fact, he took some of these things out of the system space, about ten catties, and packed them in paper bags, and returned home at noon.
"Lily, come and try the mooncakes I bought!"
Li Weiguo smiled and put down the paper bag.
Yu Li couldn't wait to come over when she heard the voice, and opened the paper bag, "Wow, Weiguo, so many moon cakes!" ”
"Let's have a taste."
Yu Li was not polite, and directly picked a piece with her hand and put it in her mouth and bit it gently, "Huh? ”
After tasting the taste, Yu Li's eyes widened, "What kind of stuffing is this, it's really delicious." ”
Li Weiguo carefully looked at the moon cake in her hand and said with a smile: "It's lotus seed." ”
"Lotus Seed Paste?" Yu Li was puzzled.
Li Weiguo explained: "It is to use durian, a kind of fruit. ”
Yu Li didn't ask more, but tasted it seriously, and after a while, this piece was finished, and she wanted to pick up another piece to taste, but Li Weiguo stopped her: "You can't eat more of this thing, one piece is enough." ”
Although Yu Li still wanted to eat a piece, after listening to Li Weiguo's words, she reluctantly let go of this thought.
"Weiguo, where did you buy it? I've never eaten this kind of mooncake when I'm so big. ”
"When I first went out, I happened to meet a vendor who was walking around the streets to buy mooncakes, so I bought some." Li Weiguo came up with a speech that had been prepared for a long time.
Yu Li didn't think much about it, but found a new paper bag, picked out a few moon cakes and put them in, "I'll send some to my sister to taste in a while, can you go?" ”
"Okay, let's go and send some together, anyway, there are more than ten catties here, and I can't eat them all." Li Weiguo smiled again and said, "Help me prepare a few more copies, and after I go with you, I will also send some to the big leader's house." ”
Yu Li agreed, and carefully selected the more than ten catties of moon cakes into several portions, of course, the most of them were kept for themselves, and the rest of the few were used for giving away.
At noon, Li Weiguo took the moon cakes, bought some gifts, and went to sit at Yu's father's house, and after lunch, he went to the big leader's house with the moon cakes that had been prepared.
"Hahaha, Weiguo, you haven't been here for a few days." The big leader walked out of the house, greeted him warmly, and he took him to the living room.
"This is a mooncake made by myself, and the taste is acceptable, so I came to give you some."
"Huh? I didn't expect you to have this ability! The big leader unceremoniously picked up a piece and put it in his mouth to taste it, and immediately nodded with satisfaction, "That's right, these you make are much more delicious than those sold outside." ”
"If you like it, I'll send some more." Li Weiguo asked sincerely, anyway, there are still more than forty catties in his system space, and if he puts it away, it is better to send them out.
When the big leader heard this, he became interested, "Okay, I want to give such delicious mooncakes to my old friends to try, how many do you have there?" ”
Li Weiguo said a number, and the big leader slapped his thigh excitedly, "Okay, Weiguo, you go back and help me get twenty catties, and I will take you to a few old men in the afternoon to visit the door and let them see the world." ”
Li Weiguo agreed with a smile, the old man in the mouth of the big leader, his status must be similar to him, just a few moon cakes, you can know so many big people, it's just worth it.
At about two o'clock, Li Weiguo returned to the compound, carrying a large paper bag in his hand, which contained mooncakes that had just been taken out of the system space.
The big leader was overjoyed when he saw it, asked the secretary to divide a few copies, and then took these things and went to several places with Li Weiguo, almost every place was guarded by guards, and the hosts who visited were all old men who were about the same age as him.
After a busy afternoon, it was almost dark when I got back to the appointment.
"Weiguo, you have given me enough face today, which makes those old guys very envious, and they all speak softly to me, wanting to ask for a few more catties hahaha......"
The big leader wanted to keep Li Weiguo for dinner, and said that he could let someone take Yu Li over, but Li Weiguo politely refused, and the big leader did not force him to stay, but just gave him some gifts.
"These are some pastries that I brought back when I went to the south before, you must accept them, even if it is a little bit of my heart."
Li Weiguo looked at the two boxes in his hand, which were pastries he had never seen, thanked them, and then said goodbye and left.
Walking out of the compound, when Li Weiguo was about to get into the car, he found He Daqing who was about to walk home, He Daqing looked at Li Weiguo in surprise at this time, "Weiguo, how can you ......?"
Li Weiguo smiled, "I'll send some moon cakes, this is not a big thing, the leader sent a bit of a lot, you have to arrange a car to send me back, Uncle He, what about you." ”
"Ah, I'm here to cook with the big leader." He Daqing's heart was itching, and he was very envious of the big leader's arrangement to send Li Weiguo back.
"By the way, Uncle He, do you know how to ride a bicycle?"
Seeing He Daqing's confirmation, Li Weiguo smiled and said, "Then Uncle He, can you ride my bicycle back?" ”
"Okay." He Daqing agreed politely after a few words, after all, there was still a constant distance back to the courtyard from here, and it would take more than an hour to walk back on two legs.
……
The speed of driving is much faster than that of a bicycle, and it will take ten minutes to reach the gate of the courtyard.
A few adults at the door saw a car parked in front of the door and couldn't help but gather curiously.
"Who's this? Why did you stop at the gate of our courtyard? ”
"Looking at this license plate, the people in the car must not be simple."
“……”
The crowd whispered, Li Weiguo carried the pastries he took from the big leader's house, opened the car door and got down.
"Thank you, Master Zhao."
"Don't be so polite haha." The driver smiled and nodded, knowing that he was a celebrity in front of the big leader, not someone he could offend.
The few people gathered at the door were surprised when they saw Li Weiguo get out of the car.
After thanking him, Li Weiguo walked into the gate of the courtyard with his things, and everyone got out of the way.
"Weiguo, that was ...... just now" The third master, Yan Bugui, was also in the crowd, and he asked curiously when he saw Li Weiguo coming over.
This is also a question that several other people want to know, so the four or five people present are waiting for Li Weiguo's reply expectantly.
"That's ......" Li Weiguo said simply, the clouds and the wind were light, like an ordinary trivial matter.
After he left, the others looked at his back with even more envy.
