Go back to the prosperous days and become a layman

Chapter 354 Chapter 353 White Rabbit

Today is Thursday, September 1959, 9, the eighth day of the eighth lunar month.

Eighty-eight, fafa, it’s a good day.

Fu Quan is a conscientious person who accepts gifts and handles errands. The snack scraps he picked for Tang Zhitong were all broken pieces of peach cakes and cakes, not crumbs.

"Senior brother, you are quite an authentic person." Tang Zhitong boasted as he walked out of the dim sum factory.

"Hey, be brave." Mark Jian answered the question.

"Haha, where are you?" Compared with those who always have a few small goals, or who take money and do nothing, Fu Quan is simply... so moved that people want to cry, but one person has one idea, and Tang Zhitong does not dissuade him. Mark Jian.

"You don't think so?" Mark Jian asked when Tang Zhitong didn't answer directly.

"If the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if the people are careful, there will be no disciples. He said there is a limit, maybe just like the leftovers you can take home, it belongs to the gray area of ​​the dim sum industry." Tang Zhitong has long seen Mark Jian was a little uncomfortable with Fu Quan's behavior of treating intact mooncakes as waste. He didn't dare to eat mooncakes at the dim sum factory and kept holding the half of the mooncake in his hand.

Some things need to be accepted slowly. This does not mean that it is not good to be innocent and moral for the rest of your life. It is just that this road is too painful.

Tang Zhitong turned out of the alley, threw the net bag into the space, and rushed home.

Although Zhang Guifang's temper has been a bit erratic recently, she listened to her son and stewed a winter melon today.

The four mothers were eating without waiting for Tang Zhitong, and were a little surprised to see Tang Zhitong come back.

"Third brother, please bring me a package of mooncakes for the old man." After taking a few steps forward, he saw the dormitory area where Mark Jian lived. Tang Zhitong stopped, opened his net bag and took out the mooncakes.

However, Fengzhi's childish nature could not resist the temptation of delicious food. After eating, he moved to the square table, looked directly at the snack packages on the table, kept sniffing, and asked Tang Zhitong: "Brother, brother, this What is it?”

"Don't mention it. Because you helped to catch the tiger, your sister-in-law got a two-level salary increase. She kept urging me to thank you. This time I took the opportunity. I will take care of my master's side." Mark Jian stopped Tang Zhitong , don't let him pay.

When he got home, Tang Zhitong moved two packages of moon cakes and two packages of snack residue into his bag before walking to the main room.

"We brothers are so polite. It's okay for you to go back. Just stay here and leave." Mark Jian dragged Tang Zhitong back home.

Tang Zhitong didn't want his brother to make mistakes, and also hoped that his brother would live well. He thought for a while and added: "This kind of person can live a comfortable life."

"Hey, you only want to learn if you don't sell mooncakes. No, I went there and bought some." Tang Zhitong said, taking out the mooncakes and snack crumbs from his bag and placing them on the table.

"Didn't you say you wanted to learn how to make mooncakes? So quickly?" Xiao Wang put down his bowls and chopsticks, stood up and poured water for Tang Zhitong to wash his hands.

"Oh, there are mooncakes to eat!" When Fengzhi heard that her brother had bought mooncakes, she took the steamed buns and chopsticks and immediately jumped up from the horse.

Tang Zhitong washed his hands and sat down. His menopausal temperament was difficult to reconcile, so he gnawed on the steamed bun.

"Sure, then I won't be polite to Third Brother." Tang Zhitong felt the strength of Mark Jian's hand and listened to his sincerity, so he stopped insisting.

"Sit down! Eat! It's not August 15th yet, why should we eat mooncakes?!" Zhang Guifang glared at Fengzhi and criticized, her voice was quite loud, which startled Fengzhen.

"Excuse me, there are three ancestors waiting for snacks at home." Tang Zhitong pointed to the hanging on the handlebar and made up a reason. In fact, it was because he had eaten at Brother Masan's place last week and left food for him. He didn't want the ticket. No one was well-off at the moment, and Tang Zhitong didn't want to have this problem.

"That's right." Mark Jian laughed at himself, stuffed half of the mooncake into his mouth, and started chewing.

Fengzhi had no choice but to glance at her mother and could only curl her lips, sit down obediently, and continue to eat. However, the food was not sweet. The small bites were very elegant, but her expression was perfunctory and dissatisfied.

"Okay, let's get together later and walk more slowly." Ma Jian let him go as soon as he heard the quantity.

Classmate Xiao Wang and Tang Zhitong looked at each other without saying anything.

Because Zhang Guifang was angry just now and the air pressure was a little low, the Tang family had a quiet dinner.

"These two packs are mooncakes, and these two packs are dim sum dregs." Tang Zhitong introduced the snacks to his sister, pointing to them in different shapes.

"What is dim sum crumbs?" Fengzhi had never eaten dim sum crumbs and was a little curious about it.

"It's just peach cakes and cakes, the bits and pieces that fell when they collided." Tang Zhitong directly opened a pack of snack residue and showed it in front of Fengzhi.

"Can I have a piece?" Fengzhi swallowed and asked.

"Okay, here it is." Tang Zhitong picked up a small piece and handed it to his younger sister. He also picked a few pieces and distributed them to his family, and took a small taste himself.

The snacks taste pretty good, and Tang Zhitong reckons they are worth a pound and a pound.

Although the price of dim sum has increased, dim sum shops still have room for dim sum worth 76 cents, but the quantity is very small...

As for the price increase, the dim sum shop’s argument is that the ingredients used for one dollar and two are good, so it’s expensive.

As for whether it is really good, you can definitely taste it if you eat it regularly. Anyway, many people have opinions and reservations about it.

Tang Zhitong doesn't have so many complaints. Too many things are not decided by the people. Since you can't resist, just comply. You can't just lie down, right?

"Brother, brother, what does the mooncake taste like? Is it delicious?" After finishing the snack, Fengzhi licked her fingers clean and asked again.

"I've tried Wuren's, and it's delicious." Tang Zhitong told his sister seriously.

"Oh, how many days until August 15th?" Fengzhi didn't give up after hearing the reply. She didn't look at Tang Zhitong, but glanced at Zhang Guifang. Seeing that she wasn't paying attention, she became bolder and stretched out her hand. Poke the mooncake packaging with your finger.

"There's still one week, it'll be here next Thursday." Tang Zhitong replied seriously, suppressing a smile.

"Oh, can I take a look? Just take a look." Fengzhi looked directly at Tang Zhitong this time, with anticipation in her eyes.

"Just watching? Don't want to eat? Do you mean what you say?" Tang Zhitong laughed out loud this time, but not loudly.

"Well, well, let's count! Whoever eats it will be the puppy!" Fengzhi nodded hurriedly.

"Okay, let's take a look!" Tang Zhitong opened a pack of mooncakes, and five Cantonese-style five-nut mooncakes were displayed in front of Fengzhi.

Fengzhi's eyes widened. She used to eat puff pastry mooncakes at home, but this was the first time she saw this Cantonese style. Smelling the tempting sweet smell, Fengzhi swallowed her saliva in dismay. "Okay, have you seen enough? I'll put it away." Tang Zhitong teased his sister, pretending to put it away.

"Woof woof!" Fengzhi turned around and barked twice. There was no tail, otherwise it would have been used as a cattail leaf fan.

"Oh, how old are you? Why are you teasing your children? Let's share one piece today and save the rest for the holidays." Xiao Wang burst into laughter when he heard his sister-in-law barking like a dog.

Zhang Guifang reacted and started laughing without stopping.

"Well, well! My sister-in-law is the best, I will eat a little bit, a few hundred million bits!" Fengzhi gestured with her hands to share the portion. At first it was still an annoying sign of a stick, but then it quickly grew in size, and it became a moon cake that couldn't be filled. The hole.

"Well, you are indeed a little bit." Xiao Wang was amused by his sister-in-law again, but he was very merciful. He divided the mooncake into four pieces, picked the largest piece and gave it to Fengzhi, and then kept the smallest piece, and the others Two pieces were given to her mother-in-law and Fengzhen.

Fengzhi took a bite and Le's eyes narrowed.

Xiao Wang fed the smallest piece to Tang Zhitong first, and then tasted it himself.

"Is it sweet?" Tang Zhitong teased his sister when he saw that Fengzhi was enjoying the food.

"Sweet! It tastes better than snacks!" Fengzhi bared her teeth and said. Because she has reached the age of teeth replacement and one of them is missing, it looks very festive.

Seeing how happy the family was, Zhang Guifang stopped losing her temper. She took a bite of the mooncake and gave the rest to Fengzhi: "Greedy girl, you can only eat these, keep the rest for August 15th" eat."

After saying that, he told his daughter-in-law: "Jingwen, take those two bags back to your parents' house and let your mother have a taste."

Classmate Xiao Wang first glanced at her husband. After Tang Zhitong nodded, Wang Jingwen sweetly thanked her mother-in-law: "Okay, thank you, Mom."

"Sister-in-law, I'm hungry and I still want to eat." After finishing the mooncakes, Fengzhi still felt unfinished and didn't dare to ask Zhang Guifang. She pulled Wang Jingwen's lapel and waved it.

"I didn't see you eating less tonight. I went to eat steamed buns when I was hungry." Zhang Guifang glared at Fengzhi, her tone of voice was just okay, much lower than when eating.

Fengzhi didn't dare to reply, but she didn't let go of her hand.

Naturally, Wang Jingwen would not go against her mother-in-law's opinion. Knowing that her sister-in-law was probably aroused, she touched Fengzhi's head and handed it to her mother-in-law: "Mom, my colleague gave me a few candies today. Give them to Fengzhen and Fengzhi." Zhi, try it. If Fengzhi is still hungry after eating, let her eat another steamed bun, okay?"

"You keep it and eat it, don't spoil the child." Regarding her daughter-in-law, Zhang Guifang was satisfied from the bottom of her heart, and her words were much gentler.

"Try them all, they taste different." Xiao Wang filtered out part of the information and took Fengzhi back to the wing to get some candies.

Tang Zhitong took advantage of the situation and ran away. Sheng's mother continued to harm him.

"Go, one each, and be sweeter with our mother." Xiao Wang took out four candies from his bag, gave three to Fengzhi, and sent her back to the main room.

"Try it." After Fengzhi left the door, classmate Xiao Wang opened the candy and handed it to Tang Zhitong's mouth.

What he feeds to others is called dog food, and what Xiao Wang feeds to Tang Zhitong is called milk candy.

"Why don't you eat it?" After entering his mouth, a familiar milky aroma filled his mouth. Tang Zhitong asked classmate Xiao Wang without chewing.

"Because there are only four." Xiao Wang playfully stretched out four fingers.

"Then I'll give you half." Tang Zhitong immediately snapped and wanted to give Xiao Wang half of the candy.

"Oh, isn't it disgusting? I've eaten it before, you can eat it yourself." Xiao Wang resisted, stretched out his hands, pushed Tang Zhitong's forehead with one hand, and pushed his chin with the other to prevent him from getting close to her.

"A piece of candy is still sweet, why is it disgusting? You didn't eat less when there was no candy in your mouth." Tang Zhitong muttered to himself as his head was pushed back by Xiao Wang.

"Stop talking so much, eat your candy." Xiao Wang pressed Tang Zhitong on the edge of the bed, picked up the candy wrapper, and flattened it.

"White Rabbit, it just came out, right? Have you eaten it before?" Tang Zhitong knew it was the famous White Rabbit toffee when he took it into his mouth, but he still pretended not to know, walked up to classmate Xiao Wang, and looked at the words on the candy wrapper The words were read out.

"Well, I just came out not long ago. It's a celebration and a gift." Xiao Wang stood up, reached for the book, and sandwiched the candy wrapper inside.

"How did you eat it not long ago?" Tang Zhitong was a little curious.

"There was one before, called ABC Mickey Mouse candy. Here, look." As Xiao Wang said, he took out another candy wrapper from the book and showed it to Tang Zhitong.

"Do you still have a hobby of collecting candy wrappers?" Tang Zhitong took the candy wrappers, somewhat surprised.

"Who hasn't come here as a little girl?" Classmate Xiao Wang lightly punched Tang Zhitong, somewhat embarrassed. After all, she was married and no longer a little girl.

"Haha, it's good to have a hobby. I'll help you look for it later." Tang Zhitong touched classmate Xiao Wang's hair. As a husband, he must support her interests and hobbies.

"No need, I have everything on the market in Kyoto." Xiao Wang said with some pride in his tone, his spine straightened, and the figure of the rabbit was particularly eye-catching.

"Well, well, this rabbit, bah, this Mickey Mouse is pretty good-looking. As expected of being made in an international metropolis, it's quite fashionable." The words "Shanghai Yimin Food Factory" were printed on the candy paper. Tang Zhitong pointed to the rice on the candy paper. said the mouse.

"What big city can compare to Kyoto?" Xiao Wang obviously has the pride and superiority of Kyoto people.

Tang Zhitong just smiled and didn't say anything. Even Xiao Wang didn't understand this joke. In a few years, when "Sentinels Under the Neon Lights" is filmed and released, he will probably understand.

"Do you want to buy some? I heard from Sister Jiang that seven white rabbits can equal a cup of milk." Xiao Wang packed up his collection, patted the paper with satisfaction, and put it away again.

"Just buy some if it's good, but just listen to this slogan, don't take it seriously." There is no wife in the wife cake, but there must be milk in the white rabbit toffee. As for how much, it's hard to say.

"Okay, let's buy some. I heard from my colleagues that there will be rare fruits on the market in a while. Do you want to buy them or not?" Xiao Wang was a little confused.

"Buy it, why not buy it? It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, why don't you try it?" Tang Zhitong replied very clearly.

Tang Zhitong didn't know about the White Rabbit's name change, but he knew a few things about the market supply before and after the celebration.

Ordinary supplies will have a short, relatively abundant window of prosperity, and rare supplies will also come from all directions. However, these rare supplies will not be sold across the board. They will only be released at a few specific points. Can you buy them? In addition to luck, it also depends on relationships.

"Okay, then I'll give it a try and give my sister some insights." Only then did classmate Xiao Wang put aside his worries and agreed.
