Chapter 114 The Colored Moon
Chapter 114 The Colored Moon
Everyone saw that it was true, and if they looked carefully, they could see that the colors of the mooncakes also had different shades.
"Mine is the one with egg yolk and lotus seed paste. The egg yolk is really delicious. Huh? Is this made with salted egg yolk?"
"Yes, the combination of salted egg yolk and lotus seed paste will give the taste more layered, sweet and salty," Fu Ling explained.
Everyone was like opening a blind box, which she did on purpose. Randomness is interesting, and you never know what flavor you're going to get next.
As for whether to worship the moon or not, they are not particular about it. Everyone enjoys the moon and eats moon cakes in the yard, just as if they are sharing the joy with the moon.
Lu Beichen cut some watermelon and picked several bunches of grapes and put them on the table. He was tired of eating mooncakes, so he had a piece of watermelon and some grapes to relieve the greasiness.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the trip brought the few of them closer together. When they were about to leave, Du Chenyang stayed behind alone.
"Sister-in-law, I called my brother today. His name is Du Chenfeng. He is very interested in your dry goods business and will be here in the next two or three days."
"Okay, please, Brother Yang, this is your share."
Each person had a handbag containing a box of mooncakes and a box of tea.
Du Chenyang scratched his head embarrassedly: "Sister-in-law, here, we eat and take..."
"What's so special about this? I prepared it especially for you. If you don't take it back, we won't be able to finish it. We made a lot."
"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law. I'll be leaving now. Thank you for your hospitality today."
After sending the man out of the yard and closing the door, she turned around and saw the Land Dog that had been clinging to her.
Reach out for a hug.
The smile was sweeter than mooncakes. Lu Beichen picked her up and looked her in the eye.
Fu Ling took the opportunity to hug his neck tightly, and the two began to kiss and tongue each other for a long time before they separated.
"Wife, happy Mid-Autumn Festival!"
"Husband, have fun together!"
He held her in his arms and sat her on the swing, then kissed her forehead lovingly, and they watched the moon together.
Fu Ling's next words shattered his happiness:
"Hubby, legend has it that Houyi and Chang'e eloped and lived a shameless life... Do you believe this legend?"
Lu Beichen: “…”
Looking at the moon now, it seems to have some colors...
I always feel that it somewhat ruins the mood of the moment. The atmosphere of moon-viewing has changed in an instant, and everyone looks at the moon with strange eyes.
He shook his head helplessly: "I haven't heard of it..."
She suddenly perked up. "It's like this... She spent tens of thousands of years alone in the Moon Palace, feeling empty, lonely, and cold... She already had feelings for Houyi... In the end, she overcame all the hardships and dangers and lived happily with Houyi... So, the moon we see is actually empty."
Lu Beichen: “…”
: There is no need to explain it in such detail...
Moon worship or something like that, that doesn't exist...
She is a modern person and has long since deciphered what the moon looks like.
Lu Beichen felt quite immersed in the situation and instantly felt that the moon was not fragrant anymore. He picked up Fu Ling and went into the house.
"Hey, I haven't finished yet..."
"There's nothing to reward you with. Didn't you say Chang'e lived a shameless life? Since even immortals can't escape the secular world, how much less us? Wife, it's time to wash up and go to bed..."
Oh my god! What he said seems to make a lot of sense!
The moon-viewing ended with Fu Ling telling a legend...
No sleep for one night.
Fu Ling planned to take him to the warehouse today. After coming back, they had been sticking together a lot, and it was time for her to go out and see the empire she had built in reality.
When we arrived at the warehouse, fishermen were already there carrying fresh seafood to sell.
Hu Shan and Lin Huilan, one carefully inspected the goods, and the other carefully weighed and paid.
Hu Shan only then noticed the two of them and greeted them with a smile: "Sister Ling, your brother-in-law is here."
"Well, Brother Hu, how are your harvests lately?"
"That's great. Brother Nine and his friends are so hardworking. They're busy almost every day. Now my mother comes over to cook for us and help clean the house."
"Have you paid Auntie yet?"
Hu Shan grinned: "Otherwise, how can you say that you and Xiang Meizi are good people? You never let others suffer. Don't worry, I have already paid you 20 yuan a month."
With this salary, she earns less than Aunt Hu who works hard selling vegetables and works hard for a month but only makes a few cents.
So, the whole family now has a salary, and they are so happy that Aunt Hu is full of energy every day.
Fu Ling took out the tea leaves and said, "Brother Hu, I roasted this tea myself. I'll put it in the reception hall. You can brew it and drink it when you're free. I've brought ten kilograms with me for now. I'll bring more when you're done. You don't have to be stingy. It's not worth much. Besides, drinking this tea can refresh your mind and nourish your energy."
A boss who always thinks about his employees is simply a godly boss. He gave them mooncakes yesterday and brought them tea today. He treats them like family.
It would be a lie to say that he was not moved. Hu Shan couldn't give any profound advice. He just felt that only by working hard could he repay others.
Without disturbing him from working, he took Lu Beichen into the office.
"This is Xiangyi and I's office, how is it?"
Lu Beichen nodded: "Very good, you have done a good job. The way you treat your employees is also worth learning from. Wife, they are lucky to have met you."
Fu Ling smiled wickedly: "Really? What about you? Meeting me, are you lucky?"
"It's more than just luck. I think my family's ancestors must have been so lucky to meet you."
"Pfft! How can you talk like that? Be careful of others."
Fu Ling walked to the desk, took out the account book from the drawer, and took a quick look. The Eight Immortals were really hardworking. They could collect three or four tons of dry goods every day.
This is only possible by running around to several fishing villages every day.
After asking Hu Shan, I found out that the brothers get up early and go to bed late every day, and will not come back before eight or nine o'clock in the evening.
Fu Ling was worried about their safety as they were still running around so late at night, so he planned to wait for them to come back and set up a work schedule for them, and not let them do whatever they wanted.
There are always some desperate criminals who are not afraid of death. If they are targeted, it will be too dangerous late at night.
Sitting in the office, Fu Ling began to write a work schedule...
It just so happened that Lu Beichen was taking a break recently, and Fu Ling planned to have him teach the Eight Immortals some self-defense skills.
It is always safer to have some skills when going out to receive goods.
Fu Ling took all the hidden dangers into consideration. When working for her, their personal safety must always be guaranteed.
Now the amount of goods collected is increasing, and to prevent people from stealing them at night, Hu Shan installed sharpened bamboo on the wall.
They were all doing it voluntarily and didn't want any extra compensation, which warmed Fu Ling's heart. They were all grateful people, and he became more determined to take them out of the village.
It was one o'clock later when the Eight Immortals returned with the goods. They were already starving, but their faces were filled with smiles, which showed that they had lived a very fulfilling life recently.
The man has become much stronger, and the four carts are full.
The goods brought back needed to be inspected again before they could be put into storage, so the few people who came back parked the cart in the yard.
I went to wash my hands and face and get ready to eat. As soon as I walked into the house, I saw Fu Ling in the reception room and a handsome man I had never seen before. They knew who the other person was without thinking.
The other party's aura was too strong. The Eight Immortals dared not breathe when they came in. They lowered their heads like children who had done something wrong.
