Chapter 347 Space City

"Okay, Xiao Cai, Xiao Dan, take care. Come to our house and visit us when you have time!" Jin Yongqing knew that the two children would not leave unless he closed the door. This was their duty, so Jin Yongqing waved his hand and closed the door.

"Come on, Tongtong, try the sweet soup made by grandpa. Today, to use the words of you young people, grandpa is replicating your childhood memory, the big bowl of sweet soup at the banquet. I remember when you were a child, I took you to a banquet, and you liked that soup the best!" Jin Yongqing took his granddaughter's hand and gestured to Wu Tong with a smile.

He measured at his waist and said, "At that time, you were only in kindergarten, and you were not even as tall as my waist!" According to their usual custom, there must be banquets for weddings and funerals, and there must be both sweet and savory soups on the table.

The salty one is the "Get Out" soup, because the eggs need to be beaten and thrown into the soup, so this soup is also called "Swing Sleeves Soup", because eggs are the main ingredient, and serving this soup means it's the end of the banquet, and you have to leave quickly, turn over the table, remove the disposable tablecloth, and let the next group of guests take their seats, so it is also jokingly called "Get Out" soup, which is very vivid and descriptive.

The sweet one is fruit soup. When there are seasonal fruits, apples, oranges, white fungus, egg drops, etc. are usually added. In winter when there are no fresh fruits, canned fruits are used instead, which has a unique flavor.

When Wu Tong was a child, he liked to drink it. It is not very sweet. If it is well made, it is just the right sweetness without being greasy. The fruit is fresh and the white fungus is soft and jelly. It is really unforgettable.

When Wu Tong was a child, his favorite thing was to go to banquets with his grandfather. His grandfather was hospitable, generous, and had many friends, so he had many opportunities to go to banquets throughout the year, especially at the end of the year when everyone had time. He could even go to banquets in succession. At that time, for Wu Tong, it was like a little mouse falling into a rice jar, so wonderful!

Every time, there is always sweet soup at the end, and my belly is bulging after drinking it, which makes my family tease me. Salty soup is also good, but it can be made at home, so it is not so rare. Only sweet soup seems to be made with enough pressure from the big pot at the banquet, so it tastes especially good.

Thinking of her childhood, Wu Tong couldn't help but curl her eyes. She was quite calm. Although she had a lot of dark history when she was a child, because the elders who knew these things would mention them from time to time, she could now treat them as a joke, just like she was entertaining her parents with colorful clothes!

"My grandpa and grandma love me, so I must taste it today!" Wu Tong took the sweet soup from her grandma with a smile on his face. "From the color, aroma and taste, Comrade Jin, you are amazing. You have made it as good as the one at the banquet! Let me try the taste again!"

Wu Tong stirred it with a spoon, blew it gently, and put it into her mouth. The sweet and smooth taste lingered on her taste buds. It was exactly the taste she remembered when she was a child. She couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Comrade Jin, your cooking skills are really good now!"

"Hahaha... Of course, who am I? I was the master chef in the factory back then. Whatever I want to do, I have to do it properly. There's nothing I can't learn!" Jin Yongqing accepted the compliment from his precious granddaughter with a smile, put his hands on his hips, and boasted proudly. He, Jin Yongqing, was able to make a name for himself in the factory after the founding of the People's Republic of China, wasn't it because he had some talent!

As Tongtong's grandfather, how could he be bad!

"Tongtong, you've really praised your grandpa!" Grandma Jin laughed. The old man is so old, but he still loves to show off. Only Tongtong can tolerate his temper!

Wu Tong drank the sweet soup while talking to the old man. After everyone came back, she told him that she would be going on a business trip tomorrow. "The specific return date is not yet determined. I will be back as soon as possible. After I go to the base, it may not be convenient to contact you. I will call you. If there is an emergency, you know my other 24-hour hotline number. You can contact me at any time. Don't think that you are afraid of affecting me without telling me!"

Before leaving, Wu Tong repeatedly told her family that she was not worried about trouble, but was afraid that her family would hide things from her. Fortunately, after she joined the project team, her family would be carefully taken care of. If her parents or family members really encountered any problems, there would definitely be someone to handle it thoroughly, so she didn't have to worry too much about backup.

"Tongtong, don't worry. Be sure to take good care of yourself!" This was the only farewell reminder from Wu Tong's family. No matter what time, Tongtong, taking good care of yourself is the most important thing.

"Don't worry about us!" They will definitely be careful, not cause trouble, not be afraid of trouble, pay attention to traffic safety, and not let accidents find them and cause the children to worry.

The car started and rolled forward. After Wu Tong said goodbye to her family, she turned her attention to the project planning, so that she would not miss other things. If she missed too much, she might not be willing to leave. In any case, parting is always not so happy.

Although the headquarters of the Second Academy of Aeronautics is in Beijing, it is only responsible for theoretical and basic research. The real research and test base is in Xizhou Aerospace City, where there is a special DF base. This is also the first missile test base established in Xizhou, China.

"Mr. Wu, welcome to Aerospace City!" Wu Tong's private plane arrived, and Zhu Dingjun came to pick him up in person. Seeing Wu Tong standing down the gangway, she stepped forward and gave Wu Tong a warm hug. The more she studied and studied recently, the more she was shocked by Wu Tong's super design and learned a lot.

So, when she learned that Wu Tong had arranged time to fly to Xizhou to personally guide the work, she made time to personally pick up Wu Tong to express her gratitude and respect.

"Mr. Zhu!" Wu Tong smiled and hugged Zhu Dingjun, "We meet again, and we will work together in the same trench in the future!" She adjusted her hood. The wind and sand were strong in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and Wu Tong needed to keep her identity secret, so she wore a camouflage cap and a mask, and a hooded jacket on the outside. Unless you get close, you can't see the outline of Wu Tong's eyebrows.

"Come on, Mr. Wu, although this is not your first time in Xizhou, it is definitely your first time in Aerospace City. Let me introduce you to our Aerospace City. The specific origin of our base can be traced back to 1958, less than ten years after the founding of the People's Republic of China!

The conditions were difficult at that time. Our ancestors relied only on shovels, sacks, bamboo baskets and other primitive tools and working methods, and built a huge missile test base, the Xizhou "DF Base", in just three years.

Relying on this base, it was initially used as a missile test and training base, and then it slowly developed into the Nodaxizhou Satellite Launch Center, which we can't see the entire outline of now. We generally call it the Space City!"
