The boss carefully weighed Xu Deyong three kinds of pastries, and asked him to look at them very carefully every time.

Xu Deyong was a little embarrassed.

Yes, half a catty and eight taels is not only an idiom, but also at this time and even many years ago.

According to records, it seems that from the beginning of Qin Shi Huang's unified weights and measures, the hexadecimal system implemented, one catty is equal to sixteen taels.

Sixteen taels of scales are also called sixteen Venus scales, which are composed of seven stars of the Big Dipper, six stars of the South Dipper and three stars of Fu Lu Shou, warning people who do business to be honest and trustworthy, not to deceive or conceal, otherwise, there is no blessing in the short one, two or two are less, and there is no longevity in the absence of three or two.

The purpose of the sixteen taels and the sixteen Venus scales is not only to measure the weight of objects, but also to measure people's hearts.

It was not until the second day of the month of Wu Jiu that the GWE announced the "Order on the Unified Unit of Measurement", changing the municipal system to ten taels and one catty, and one catty was ten taels that it was determined in this way, and it has been used until now.

Although the two numbers are different, after modern times, whether it is a domestic catty of sixteen taels or an international catty of ten taels, it is 500 grams!

Gathered a total of one and a half pounds of pastries, Xu Deyong paid a piece of three, and the store went to a fraction of a cent very angrily, so that he could eat well and come again.

Carrying the pastries packed with oil, paper and hemp rope, Xu Deyong hung them on the handlebars and staggered home.

On the road, adults and children saw the dangling oil-paper bags, and they all showed envious eyes.

There are no dual-income workers at home, who is willing to buy pastries usually!

Back in the yard, lock the car and enter the front yard.

Yan Bugui was tinkering with something under the eaves of his house, and when he heard the movement, a pair of small eyes looked over excitedly, and greeted with a smile:

"Yo, I'm back, it's early today."

"Third master, you are also early, haven't you eaten yet?"

"Not yet, ......what are you carrying in your hand?"

"Hey, I bought a pound and a half of pastries for the old lady to beat her teeth, as the saying goes, the son wants to raise and kisses but does not wait, this hard work pulls me up, and I can't eat something good when I am old."

"Hey, you are really filial, these three masters have to praise you." Yan Bugui gave a thumbs up, then swallowed his saliva and pursed his lips and said, "What have you bought here?" ”

Xu Deyong lifted it and shook it and said, "It's nothing, half a catty of bad cakes, half a catty of shortbread, and a little dessert." ”

Yan Bugui showed three heads behind him, and Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiekuang, and Yan Jiedi stared at each other.

What is the meaning of looking for the eyes and what is the meaning of looking for the autumn water, Xu Deyong understands a little.

Yan Bugui's eyes narrowed into a slit and said, "Well, this smell is fragrant, it must be delicious." ”

Xu Deyong smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of your jokes, I haven't tasted anything yet, then you're busy, I'll go back." ”

"Hey, I'm busy ......." Yan Bugui's eyes were reluctant to weaken.

When Xu Deyong's figure disappeared, he couldn't help but spit and said: "Hey, this Xu Deyong, after saying so much, he didn't see anything to taste, and he really picked the door!" ”

Yan Jiefang pursed his lips and said, "Dad, you are embarrassed to say that others are picking." ”

Yan Xie Kuang also said: "Brother Yong doesn't pick it, give me candy to eat!" ”

Yan Xie blinked his little eyes and said, "I also want to eat sugar." ”

Yan Bugui rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Go and go, do you say that your father, you can't eat and drink poorly, and if you can't calculate, you will be poor, you are young and don't understand." ”

"Xie Kuang, why didn't he give you food just now?"

"And you, who told you not to be with your brother that day, otherwise you will be able to eat candy."

Although Yan Jiefang was young, he also knew that it was useless to break with his father, so he could only say stupidly: "Why is he not our own brother!" ”

"yes!" Yan Xie Kuang sighed and said.

Yan Xie Di was also depressed.

Yan Bugui's eyes rolled and said, "People have taken their things home, whether you can take advantage of them depends on your ability." ”

Yan Xie Kuang thought to himself: "Brother Yong's grandmother is not as generous as him, he can only wait for Brother Yong to be at home, when he is in a good mood, hmph, I won't tell you, ......what if there are too many people to be mediocre." ”

The family has its own thoughts, and the three siblings were taught by word and deed at a young age to implant a "calculating" family school.

……

The courtyard is quiet, and they are cooking at home on a cold day, and the fireworks are rising.

Xu Deyong pushed the door home with something, and the old lady was actually burying her head in cutting meat.

"I'm back." Xu Nanshi said in a good mood.

Xu Deyong leaned in and said with a smile: "Yo, it's rare, grandma, you also cut the meat!" ”

Xu Nanshi smiled and said, "What do you say, this kid, grandma won't cut meat?" This piece of lard is good, but grandma waited for a while and bought it when she cut it to this place. ”

Xu Deyong complimented: "Grandma has to have vision and can live." ”

"Not really." Xu Nanshi said smugly: "This boiled oil can be eaten for many days." ”

The next moment, she saw the oil paper bag in Xu Deyong's hand, and her brows immediately frowned: "What did you buy in your hand?" ”

Xu Deyong's eyes rolled, and he whispered with joy on his face: "Grandma, last time I gave the rich family who repaired the clock, and introduced me to repair things for others, no, after repairing them, they sent some pastries and stuffed me with a dollar." ”

As he spoke, he took out a dollar and put it in front of his grandmother.

When Xu Nanshi heard this, he immediately frowned, and said with a smile: "Really! Our Xiaoyong is capable! ”

Then he also snickered and whispered: "Your aunt Wang took the clock away and left two yuan." ”

An old man and a young man looked at each other and smiled.

Xu Deyong said with an expression of 'understood': "No wonder you are willing to cut meat, your feelings are a windfall." ”

"This is a windfall, it's not my good grandson's craftsmanship." Xu Nanshi smiled three points and said proudly.

Xu Deyong nodded with a "serious" face and said, "No, your grandson is really amazing." ”

"Temperament!" Xu Nanshi said with a smile.

Xu Deyong opened the oil paper, took out a small piece of jujube cake and said, "Grandma, this is soft and easy to bite, you can taste it." ”

"Oh, you can eat." Xu Nanshi pushed twice, and saw that Xu Deyong had already handed it to his mouth, so he had no choice but to open his mouth and hold it.

After a while, he said, "Well, it's delicious, you can taste it too." ”

Xu Deyong said: "Okay, I'll eat one too." ”

The trough cake is the chicken cake, because the early production uses mostly cotton sugar, and the color of the product baked by the cotton sugar is more ruddy and named red skin cake.

"Qing Barnyard Banknotes": "Beijing people are obscure the word 'egg', and the cake is called a groove cake, and it is said that it enters the groove when making cakes."

There is an old saying, "You can still make a trough cake without your stinky chicken", which means that it doesn't matter if you are missing.

Legend has it that Emperor Qianlong and Empress Dowager Cixi were very fond of eating trough cakes, especially at breakfast. At that time, the trough cake made in the imperial dining room of the Imperial Palace was not only for the imperial court, but also as a special offering for ancestors.

Xu Deyong ate one, the taste is very pure, but it is not too sweet to step on the horse without the 'technology and ruthlessness' of later generations!

He opened another one and said, "Grandma, try this again." ”

"Oh, you take it ......apart again, I still have to cut the meat, don't make trouble." Xu Nan didn't have a good airway.

Seeing that grandma was finally "forced" to eat again, Xu Deyong said: "Grandma, don't be reluctant to eat at home, say anything to save until the New Year, and it will be all cotton when the time comes." ”

Xu Nanshi said: "In winter, things are propped up, how can it be so easy, it's okay to put it for a long time!" ”

Yes, Xu Deyong said that many old people love to save things and save them for the New Year's holidays.

Some even more, they like to hide, hide it and don't eat it for themselves or give it to others, and then keep it bad.

It may have something to do with what they have suffered, but of course some of them are simply forgetfulness or selfishness.

Xu Deyong shook his head and said: "I came back with something that I slipped away, but I was seen by the three masters, if you don't eat it, maybe I will divide two pieces as soon as I am happy one day." ”

"You dare!" Xu Nan's eyes widened, and then he frowned again: "Why don't you hide it, when Yan Laoxi sees it, their family will definitely worry about you." ”

"So." Xu Deyong spread his hands and said, "You have to finish eating quickly." ”

Xu Nanshi was a little distressed and said: "Then let's eat together, it doesn't cost ...... anyway, it's true, what pastries to give, it's really ...... to give more than two yuan." ”

Xu Deyong secretly rolled his eyes, pinched a piece of snack, "Ah Meng" and eat!

Soon, the fragrance of the Xu family's fried oil residue wafted out again.

The He family, who bore the brunt of the meal, He Yushui suddenly felt that it was not fragrant when he was eating, and looked at his brother with blank eyes.

He Yuzhu said ruthlessly: "Wait for next month's salary to make you eat meat." ”

"Retractor." He Yushui immediately stretched out his hand and said.

"Childish." He Yuzhu snorted, but still reached out and hooked his sister.

He Yushui showed a smiling face, smelling the smell and inexplicably feeling that the meal was also fragrant.

……

Yi family, Yi Zhonghai frowned and said, "Why does this Xu Deyong cut meat again?" This makes other families how to eat in peace! ”

An aunt said: "It's not Yong's cut, it's Yong's grandmother's cut, I see that his neighbor's aunt Wang took the clock away, and it should give some benefits." ”

Yi Zhonghai's eyes narrowed slightly: "How much did Grandma Deyong charge?" ”

An aunt said: "I don't know, why do you care so much, people have said that neighbors help each other, both parties are satisfied, don't meddle in your affairs." ”

……

The Jia family, the family is not in a beautiful mood!
