"Ahhh, sleep! As long as I fall asleep, I won't know anything, and I'll wake up feeling beautiful again." Seeing that the system was also bullying her, Ruan Ruan patted her limbs on the bed a few times, then closed her eyes and started to sleep, trying to hypnotize herself.
System: 'I'm innocent! How could I dare to bully you! o(╥﹏╥)o'
After taking a nap, Ruan Ruan had indeed forgotten what happened at noon and continued making mooncakes.
In one afternoon, she wrapped the prepared mooncakes in oil paper and divided them into several portions: the Huo family, Uncle Ruan's family, the Ruan family in Beijing, the Gu family, her uncle's family in Yuncheng, as well as Huo Haoshen and Lu Shuyan's family, the Zeng family, the factory director's family, and several families in the military with whom Huo Haocheng had a good relationship. By this calculation, Ruan Ruan needed to bake quite a few.
She first packed up the bags for the more distant families, then packed up the dried mushrooms as well. Looking at the contents of the bag, Ruan Ruan thought for a moment, then, carrying a basket on her back and a portion of mooncakes, she headed outside.
When she arrived at Wangjia Brigade, she found the brigade leader, "Uncle Wang."
"Comrade Ruan, what brings you here today?"
"Uncle Wang, I came here today hoping to trouble you with something?" As she spoke, Ruan Ruan handed the mooncakes from her basket to Captain Wang.
“Comrade Ruan, if you need anything from me, just say so. How can I accept your things?” Captain Wang said, noticing that the round object Ruan Ruan handed over was something he had never seen before.
"Uncle Wang, these aren't anything fancy, they're just mooncakes I made myself. I brought them over for you to try," Ruan Ruan explained as she saw him accept them.
"Then I'll shamelessly accept it. Tell me what you need me for?" When Captain Wang heard Ruan Ruan say this, he accepted it. The Mid-Autumn Festival is just a few days away. During this time, Ruan Ruan sent people to lead the villagers to collect medicinal herbs, which has brought them a lot of income. He was also thinking of going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some mooncakes to try this year.
"Uncle Wang, do you know any families in our village who want to exchange fruit?" Ruan Ruan came directly because when they came before, they saw that there were fruit trees everywhere in their village. Instead of running several kilometers to buy them, it was better to come here and exchange them, and they could get more fruit.
"You need fruit? You should have said so earlier. We have a lot planted on the hill behind our village, and it's harvest time now. There's plenty stored in the warehouse. If you want some, I can just deliver it to you. This stuff isn't worth much."
He thought she had something important to tell him, but when he heard that she just wanted to exchange fruit, he realized that the fruit was worthless and could be found everywhere in Yuncheng. The fruit was picked and stored in warehouses, but it couldn't be sold. It was only distributed to families after the harvest each year to make dried fruit, which they ate as a snack.
As she spoke, the captain led Ruan Ruan to the warehouse. Seeing the bananas, peaches and other fruits scattered all over the place, Ruan Ruan immediately asked the captain to give her 100 jin of each kind of fruit.
When the brigade leader saw that she wanted so much fruit, he calculated the price for each type of fruit to be two cents per pound. Afterwards, he found a few older women to pick out the largest and best fruits for Ruan Ruan, packed them into sacks for her, and then brought the brigade's oxcart to help her take them back.
After buying the fruit, Ruan Ruan washed each type of fruit and started cutting them. After cutting, she sprinkled a little sugar on them, then spread the fruit flat on a large drying rack, covered it with paper, and turned it over every hour.
It took Ruan Ruan two days to turn all the fruit into dried fruit, thanks to the sun's help.
After two busy days, Ruan Ruan finally sent the Mid-Autumn Festival gifts she had prepared back home.
