Chapter 92: Going to the Countryside as Educated Youth in the 1970s 56
In the morning, Yanyan had to go see a Parkinson's patient and Lawless, and it would be 10 o'clock by the time she finished.
Jiayi controlled the time. After ten o'clock, when He Jiahui once again asked to go to the clinic because he was not feeling well, Jiayi agreed and asked Jiafeng to accompany him to the clinic.
He Wu and He Shiwu were standing by the wall with their cameras, waiting to take pictures.
He Shiwu frowned and said, "Fifth Brother, the most we can do is take a picture of that guy entering the laboratory."
"There's a secret compartment inside, and guards were taking photos. We have all the evidence."
"Why hasn't that kid come yet? Is he stealing or not?"
"What's the rush? Take your time."
While Yanyan went to cook lunch, He Jiahui secretly entered the laboratory. Looking at a pile of papers, he searched here and there and finally saw the formula for the hemostatic medicine. He quickly picked up a pen and paper and copied it down. He also saw the prescription for the blood tonic and copied it down as well. He actually ate both prescriptions.
Zhang Xiaojia was speechless when watching Xiao Ai's video on the road. Is this person crazy?
Watching He Jiahui leave the clinic, Zhang Xiaojia breathed a sigh of relief. This person really treated others as fools. In order to let him know where the laboratory was, they even put up signs. Is it easy for them?
Zhang Xiaojia looked at He Jiahui, packed up his things, and secretly left He's house alone. He went to the post office to make a phone call. In order to avoid people, he hid in a public toilet and stayed there all night until a car came to pick him up.
Zhang Xiaojia was a little impressed by him. He could live in such a smelly environment. With such endurance, what couldn't he succeed in?
Zhang Xiaojia didn't ask Xiaoai to continue the surveillance. If this couldn't put He Jiahui in jail? He Er should just go back to the He family and farm! Don't go out and embarrass yourself.
It's the beginning of a new day.
Zhang Xiaojia said, "Yan Yan, go prepare the pills. Today we are going to handle the discharge procedures for those Parkinson's patients and Mr. Lawless."
Yanyan immediately put all the pills in and said, "Master, I'm ready."
Zhang Xiaojia came to Area A and handed the pills directly to the patient's family. He smiled and said, "This disease can only be treated so far. I have prescribed the pills for a year. Remember to take the pills every day and come here for a checkup once a year."
After the patient and his family expressed their gratitude, Lu Xiao arranged a car for them to leave.
Zhang Xiaojia and Yanyan arrived at Area B and saw the Lawless couple already sitting there waiting for them. Zhang Xiaojia said directly, "Mr. Lawless, your illness has been cured. I've prescribed you a pill for a year. Just one pill a day will be enough. Come for a checkup once a year."
Mr. Lawless said gratefully, "Thank you, Doctor Zhang. I have a gift for you. It has been sent from my country. I have already agreed with your superiors that it will be back before October. Please feel free to use it after you receive it."
Zhang Xiaojia expressed his gratitude.
Mrs. Lawless gave two sets of jewelry, and Zhang Xiaojia gestured to Yanyan to accept them. Zhang Xiaojia gave Yanyan a year's supply of health pills in return.
It was also Lu Xiao who arranged their departure.
Back at the clinic, Yanyan handed the two sets of jewelry to Zhang Xiaojia, "Master, these are yours."
Zhang Xiaojia took a look and saw a four-piece set consisting of a diamond set and a ruby set, including a necklace, earrings, bracelet and ring.
Zhang Xiaojia said directly, "Take whichever set you like, and give me the rest."
Yanyan's eyes sparkled as she asked, "Is there a share for me too? Was it given to me by the patient?"
Zhang Xiaojia touched her head and said, "Of course, you are also his attending physician, so of course you have a share."
"Master, which one is more expensive?"
Zhang Xiaojia pointed at the diamonds and said, "This set of diamonds is expensive. Diamonds of this carat are quite rare, and they are actually pink diamonds."
There was admiration in Yanyan's eyes, but what she held in her hand was a ruby, and the valuable one belonged to the master, and there was no doubt about that.
After seeing this, Zhang Xiaojia smiled and said, "When you get married, Master will give you a set of gemstones that are more valuable than pink diamonds."
"Master, are we going to move to a new clinic next year?"
"Well, don't worry! There won't be too many patients. They're probably all foreigners."
"I just don't know if they will be as polite as the Lawless couple. The Lawless couple haven't gone out. They have been here for more than half a year and have been staying quietly."
Zhang Xiaojia said arrogantly, "What are you afraid of? If you want to make trouble, just get out. I didn't ask them to do this. If you come here, you have to follow my rules."
Zhang Xiaojia then said dejectedly, "If they give us too much, we'll just have to bow our heads and let the higher-ups take the money first. Then we'll let them know that there are gentle and painful treatments. We'll see if they behave. If they don't, we'll give them the painful treatment."
He Xinyan looked at her master speechlessly. Her master was teaching her the art of thick black again.
After taking a sip of water, Zhang Xiaojia said to Yanyan, "Go tell Jiayi to ask the girls from the He family to come over tomorrow afternoon. I want them to make something. By the way, we don't want Xiaocao, the kitchen killer."
Zhang Xiaojia soaked white kidney beans and red beans.
I will make Taiwanese mooncakes, sweet potato mooncakes, and nut candies tomorrow.
Zhang Xiaojia asked Xiaoyi to soak the red beans and white kidney beans in water for use tomorrow.
Xiaoyi and I made a simple large oven to bake mooncakes tomorrow.
Zhang Xiaojia instructed, "Yan Yan, go ask your fifth uncle for glutinous rice flour. Tell him that we are making mooncakes for the He family tomorrow and we just need glutinous rice flour."
"Okay," Yanyan went to get it.
Xiao Yi also sneered and said, "Tomorrow you make mooncakes and use up all the syrup. What will the little fat boy eat in the future?"
Zhang Xiaojia looked at Xiaoyi and scolded him, "Didn't you make a whole jar of syrup last time? You'll only use a third of it for making mooncakes this time, and it's gone so quickly!"
"The last time I made syrup was ten months ago, during the Chinese New Year. You made sweet potato candy, eight-treasure cake, and yam cake. In May, you also made a batch of canned yellow peaches. You enjoyed it most when you used it, but you refused to acknowledge it after you used it." Xiaoyi regretted it after he said that.
Zhang Xiaojia turned around and looked at Xiaoyi. "Canned yellow peaches? When did you make them? Why didn't you give them to me? You guys ate them all by yourself!!!"
Xiao Yi ran away and said, "Go to He Fei's place. Jiayi and his friends brought a basket of yellow peaches. There are seven or eight of them, plus five at home. If we divide it this way, each person will only get two or three bottles. By the time you get home, they will have all been eaten. Who told you to go to He Fei's place? If you didn't go, you would have had your share."
Zhang Xiaojia walked over, twisted Xiaoyi's ear, and scolded him, "Didn't you eat the sweet potato noodles and wheat flour you brought back? He Fei worked so hard to get back a batch. Don't forget, the rations we eat now are brought back by He Fei."
Xiao Yi said fearlessly, "If he has the guts, he can get a few pigs this time!"
Zhang Xiaojia chuckled in his heart, and thought, if he wasn't afraid of not being able to explain it clearly, he could get tens of thousands of pigs.
"There's no reason to use our sugar to make mooncakes for the He family. I'll go get some sugar from Jiayi and save it for you. I'll hide it in the cellar so no one can eat your share." Xiaoyi said, then left proudly.
Zhang Xiaojia quickly ran to the cellar and asked Xiaoai to scan. She quickly found her canned yellow peaches. There were six cans, and she took them all out.
Early the next morning, all the girls of He Jiaxin's generation came, even the fat little boy who was in school did not go.
Zhang Xiaojia took a look and said, "Fuck, Xiaocao is there too." He told Yanyan to keep an eye on her and not let her do anything.
Ask the girls to peel the skins of the white kidney beans. With more people, there is more strength, and a large jar of white kidney beans was peeled quickly. Ask Xiaoyi to cook the white kidney beans thoroughly.
The red beans were cooked. Zhang Xiaojia took out the hand-crank blender she had made before and asked them to blend the red beans into bean paste.
No one wanted Zhang Xiaojia's orders, and no one let Xiaocao take action.
All Zhang Xiaojia has to do is speak.
"Sister-in-law, isn't there too much red bean paste? The proportion of this filling is wrong."
"There are two kinds of mooncakes, one is white kidney bean mooncake and the other is sweet potato mooncake."
After the red bean paste was ready, the pot was not big enough and they were afraid it would burn, so Xiaoyi had to do it himself. A group of people surrounded Xiaoyi and watched him fry the red bean paste.
Xiaoyi stir-fries the red bean paste until the moisture is a little dry, then adds syrup and continues to stir-fry. Then he adds vegetable oil and cooks until it becomes thick, and then it is done when it does not stick to the pan, hands or spatula.
Qiqi was tired of standing. It took her two hours to make a pot of red bean paste. There were only four-fifths of the red bean paste left. It took her 10 hours to make this red bean paste.
Zhang Xiaojia didn't care and asked them to divide the prepared red bean paste into small portions.
After all the white kidney beans were cooked, Zhang Xiaojia drained the water, added flour and sugar, and kneaded them into a dough. While kneading, Zhang Xiaojia secretly added butter. She was strong and quickly made the white kidney bean pancake crust.
Needless to say, they divided the work among themselves. They divided the dough into small pieces, rolled them into dough sheets, wrapped the red bean paste in them, pressed them with an embossing machine, and put them directly into the oven to bake.
The sweet potato pancake crust was not difficult for them and was done quickly.
Those who roll out the dough, wrap the mooncakes, emboss the flowers, and bake the mooncakes all have their own division of labor.
They worked from morning to afternoon. When the He family finished work and came here to see, the mooncakes had piled up into a mountain.
He Wu took one and ate it. It was sweet but not greasy, and delicious. He asked, "Xiao Yi, is this expensive? Red bean paste mooncakes here cost 80 cents a pound and need a ticket. How much is this per pound?"
Xiao Yi thought for a moment and said, "It's probably less than 30 cents per pound. Our crust is mainly made of kidney beans and sweet potatoes."
Xiao Yi thought for a moment and said, "Don't look for me. I don't want to make fried red bean paste. He Xinshui, He Xinrui, and He Miaomiao all know how to make fried red bean paste."
He Wu looked at Zhang Xiaojia and said, "I'll give you 10% of the red bean paste mooncakes. We'll make a batch and sell them."
Zhang Xiaojia directly said, "30%, Yanyan's generation of girls will do it, and this money is for them."
The group of girls all looked at He Wu with starry eyes.
He Wu smiled and said, "Okay."
"Yeah~"
The group of girls each took six mooncakes, and there were still a lot left at home. Xiaoyi took out a dozen wrapping papers, four in a pack, six in a pack, and eight in a pack.
Xiao Yi said, "Sis, you're getting married in October, so it's a good time to divide it. Go to He Fei's place in a couple of days and give some to He Fei's comrades. Didn't someone go to Zhongcheng Pingzhiyuan? Ask him to bring some to your uncle so that he can get a share."
Zhang Xiaojia whispered, "Xiaoyi, cook some good food for me tonight, I'm useful."
Xiaoyi didn't ask, probably knowing where she was going, and nodded directly.
