Gu Chun looked up, "Pearl is here."
"Cousin, Dad, Mom."
He Ling took her hand and said, "My daughter is here. Are you off work?"
Gu Zhenzhu also sat down. "Yes, I came here right after get off work. Mom, when did you arrive?"
Her father called the factory yesterday and told her that he would come to her cousin's house today, so she came over as soon as she got off work.
"It's been a while. Look, they're baking mooncakes."
Gu Zhenzhu looked at the simple little oven and asked, "Can it be baked?"
Facts have proved that although the sparrow is small, it has all the necessary organs, and although the oven is simple, it can really bake mooncakes.
As soon as you open it, the fragrance fills the air.
The sweet and fragrant taste made Xiao Zhuzi drool.
"Wow, it smells so good, I want to eat it, sister, I want to eat it."
Gu Dong also kept looking.
Gu Chun took out the mooncake, put it on the table and looked at it.
Because there are no molds, they are formed into round shapes by hand.
So these mooncakes are in the shape of ordinary round cakes, with a layer of egg liquid brushed on the surface. They are bright yellow and look pretty good.
She took three pieces of different flavors and cut them open.
"You all try it."
Upon hearing this, the two children quickly reached out to grab it.
Xiao Zhuzi stuffed a piece of egg yolk lotus seed paste into her mouth, "Delicious, delicious, sister."
Gu Dong ate a piece of five-nut one and said, "Sister, this one with lots of melon seeds is also delicious."
Gu Xia nodded, "I also think this five-nut one is delicious, not that sweet."
He doesn't like sweet things.
Gu Qiu shook his head, "I think the red bean paste one is more delicious."
He Ling ate a piece slowly and said, "Well, baked cakes are indeed more fragrant. We also added so much stuffing, sugar and lard.
This is the first time I've eaten something with egg yolk filling. It's quite fresh. I should have brought more duck eggs. We have plenty of them at home."
Gu Chun asked, "Why are there so many duck eggs? Shouldn't there be a lot of chicken eggs?"
"It's probably because of your influence. Our village Party Secretary and his colleagues saw that making cakes could sell, so they thought we could raise some chickens and ducks to sell."
Gu Chun nodded. "That's right. It would be great if we could run a breeding farm."
He Ling waved her hand. "That's not really a farm. It's just a few chickens and ducks. We don't dare raise too many for fear of being accused of cutting off one's tail."
"Chicken eggs are easy to sell, but duck eggs have a fishy smell, so many people don't like to buy them. We go to the waterside to pick up duck eggs when we have nothing to do, and we brought a few for you."
Gu Chun now feels that the people in Gujia Village are very smart. She just provided some ideas, and they were able to expand their thinking and want to open their own farms.
After two years of opening up, many things will be easier to do.
I believe that Gujia Village will soon be able to escape poverty and become rich.
Gu Chun ate mooncakes and said to He Ling, "Aunt, I think you can also make mooncakes and sell them. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. If you hurry up, you can still sell a few batches."
He Ling's eyes lit up and she slapped her thigh. "That's right, we need to discuss this. What do you think is the best price for this mooncake?"
Gu Chun’s suggestion was to sell each mooncake for RMB 1.20. After all, it required a lot of ingredients, and several ovens had to be built, which was very time-consuming.
He Ling couldn't wait to go back to work at the food factory. "Uncle, let's go back now."
Gu Chun quickly grabbed her and said, "Aunt, where are you going? It's already dark outside. Why are you in such a hurry?"
He Ling then realized that it was already evening. "Oh, I don't even know the time."
Gu Chun smiled and shook his head, "Aunt, don't worry, it won't be too late to do it tomorrow. You can stay here tonight and sleep, and leave tomorrow."
I was so busy making mooncakes that I forgot to make dinner.
So in the end, several people worked together and made a dinner using the vegetables and bacon that the uncle brought.
After dinner, Uncle Gu sent Gu Zhenzhu back to the dormitory.
At night, Uncle Gu, Gu Xia and Xiao Zhuzi were arranged to sleep together.
He Ling slept with several girls.
Gu Qiu liked his aunt, so he slept next to her.
It was He Ling's first time visiting their place, and when she saw the two compact rooms, she thought they were too small.
"I thought the houses in the city were so nice, but I didn't expect the one you live in is worse than the one in our village."
Gu Dong felt the same way. "That's right, auntie. Besides, there are yards in the village where we can raise chickens and grow vegetables, but there are none here."
"My master's family has one, a big yard, but they don't raise chickens or vegetables, they grow a lot of flowers."
Hearing that she was now going to her master's house every day to learn dancing, He Ling was very concerned. "Is your master treating you well? Are there any other children at home bullying you?"
"My master is very good to me, and my grandparents are also very good to me. There are no other children in the family, only me."
After listening to this, He Ling felt that her master was a good person and felt relieved.
He turned around and asked Gu Chun and Gu Qiu.
The two of them felt the motherly care from their aunt and felt very happy.
After chatting for a long time, several people fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, when Gu Chun woke up, he saw that He Ling had already prepared breakfast.
After they finished eating, the couple planned to go home.
He Ling was anxious to get back to her mooncake business.
Gu Chun couldn't keep her, so he took some canned food bought from the supply and marketing cooperative and gave it to her to take home.
Before leaving, the couple went to the garment factory and talked to Gu Zhenzhu for a few words.
Then he went back happily.
Gu Chun is taking his sister to report to the song and dance troupe today.
Xiao Zhuzi asked the siblings Gu Xia and Gu Qiu to take him to school.
Gu Dong put on a little skirt and little leather shoes and went out with her sister.
