Chapter 336 Out of a woman's instinct, seeing Jiang Si withdraw from the team empty-handed, Uncle Chen immediately said, "Comrade Jiang, you sit in the car and rest for a while, I will wait in line."
"No need, Uncle Chen." Jiang Si opened the car door and sat in the back seat. "Someone has already arrived before us."
Is there anyone who got ahead of them?
Following Jiang Si's gaze, Uncle Chen soon saw a tall and familiar figure in the crowd.
It’s Chi Heng.
Seeing him holding some fruit and quietly queuing there, Uncle Chen smiled faintly.
Although Uncle Chen doesn't talk much, he knows how Chi Heng feels about Jiang Si.
I know Jiang Si is a sensible child.
But Uncle Chen was actually worried about Huo Tingzhou who was far away on Qiongzhou Island.
Now I see that Chi Heng cares so much about Miss Chris.
He was happy from the bottom of his heart.
Of course, the relief was real.
Retracting his gaze, Uncle Chen tilted his head and asked, "Shall I take you home now?"
Jiang Si thought for a moment and said, "Let's not go back yet. Let's go to Dongfeng Store for a while."
Dongfeng Store is the later Daoxiangchun, a famous old pastry shop in Beijing.
Thinking that tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, there will definitely be a lot of people queuing up to buy mooncakes. Jiang Si thought it would be better to buy some today so that they wouldn't have to queue up early in the morning.
Sure enough, her idea was right.
Even though it was already noon, the Dongfeng Store was still crowded with people.
Jiang Si took a look and found that there were not many types of mooncake fillings at that time, far less varied than those in later generations.
The price ranges from 80 cents to 1.2 yuan per catty, and each catty of mooncakes requires six taels of food coupons.
The most common ones are those with zilaihong or zilaiqi fillings. The crust is baked with sesame oil and has the iconic deep red circle printed on the surface.
The filling is added with rock sugar residue, walnut pieces, and green and red shredded vegetables. It is very satisfying when you take a bite.
Then comes the red bean paste and jujube paste fillings.
As for the five-flavor fillings that most people in later generations dislike, it is the signature dish of that era.
Whether you can buy it or not depends entirely on whether you can grab it!
As the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the store has specially prepared a batch of lotus seed paste and rose paste fillings.
Tomorrow night, Fourth Uncle Huo and his family will also come over.
Considering that there were many people, Jiang Si picked some of each flavor.
Uncle Chen has been responsible for picking her up and dropping her off at get off work for the past few months, so it's only right that she show some appreciation during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In addition, Jiang Si also picked out a box of mooncakes with rose filling for Chris.
Compared to mooncakes with other fillings, this one doesn’t taste particularly outstanding.
But there was no way. Most foreigners were allergic to fruits and Jiang Si didn't dare let Chris eat them.
If something goes wrong, it will be a big trouble.
After buying the mooncakes, Jiang Si picked out some of their signature pastries, such as sachima, ox tongue biscuits and jujube flower pastries.
These cakes were a bit too sweet for her.
But the elders in the family like it very much.
It's quite relaxing to make a pot of jasmine tea and have some dessert.
After buying these, Jiang Si did not go home immediately, but asked Uncle Chen to drive the car to the nearby Dong'an Market.
She was usually picked up and dropped off by car, so she had no chance to take things out.
It's not just that she didn't have the chance to take things. When the children were young, she could take them into the space for a walk when she had nothing to do.
Now that the two little ones have grown up, Jiang Si has consciously paid attention to these things.
Never underestimate children who are almost one year old, especially the two little ones who drink spiritual spring water for a long time.
Their logical thinking ability is much stronger than that of ordinary children.
In other words, he cannot express himself now, but in a few months when he can speak fluently, he will suddenly blurt out something.
"Mom disappeared out of thin air!"
"Mom has conjured up Guoguo!"
Then she would really be finished.
"Uncle Chen, please wait for me. I'm going to go in and buy some things." It was a rare opportunity for Jiang Si to go out today, so she planned to take more.
Uncle Chen was a little worried. Even though it was only August 15th tomorrow, many families had already started lining up to prepare supplies for the festival.
Glancing at the bustling crowd, Uncle Chen said, "How about I go in with you? I can also help you carry some of your things."
