After coming out of school, Zhou Jimin suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
The reason is also very simple. He has already applied for the exam with Ren Jiuzhang and does not want to stay in the classroom to learn those basic courses.
But this application needs to be submitted to the above department for approval by Director Duan, the head of the Department of Mathematics.
Although Zhou Jimin has never dealt with the scholar Duan Xuefu, he believes that the other party will definitely approve his application.
Although there are problems of one kind or another in this era, teachers attach great importance to geniuses.
When he got home, everyone was already waiting for him.
Everyone is curious about what he learned on the first day of class? How were his classmates and teachers? What was it like to attend classes at Peking University?
"What kind of experience can you have? Haven't you been there too? If I have to say what kind of experience it is, I met someone during class."
When he said this, Zhou Jimin stared at Ding Qiunan, who rolled his eyes:
"Why are you looking at me? Tell me, who did you meet?"
"Remember when we visited the Forbidden City last year and met that girl?"
Ding Qiunan thought for a while, and his memory about this part was obviously blurred.
Of course she remembered playing in the Forbidden City, but only about the scene with Zhou Jimin and the scene of being frightened by his story. She really forgot the rest.
Seeing her frowning, Zhou Jimin had no choice but to remind her again:
"It was the girl who asked questions when I was telling the story of the city wall. I met her today and she is in the same class as me."
Is it so romantic?
The four little ones were thinking in their hearts, but they couldn’t say anything.
If you can’t get involved in the affairs of your eldest brother and sister-in-law, don’t get involved.
Otherwise, they will be the unlucky ones later.
Su Ruyun frowned, her son-in-law was good at everything, but he was too good and honest, and told everyone everything.
Is this because she is afraid that her daughter Nannan will not be jealous?
However, Zhou Jimin immediately said, "When school was over just now, I had already applied for the exam with the teacher. I don't plan to learn these basic theoretical knowledge anymore. I will take a special exam after the department head passes it."<
/p>
"After passing the exam, I will not study in the same class as them."
Ding Qiunan was so hungry that the sour taste almost came out. When he heard what he said, he suddenly smiled.
Then he expressed worry, can you pass the exam?
University knowledge is definitely more complicated. She has read the books Zhou Jimin usually holds in his hands.
To her, it is no different from the Holy Book.
Even so, the exam cannot be passed just by thinking about it.
In this regard, Zhou Jimin said that the problem is not big, it is just undergraduate knowledge, and he has already completed all of it.
Not only that, he even read many academic papers at the master's and doctoral levels, articles that were beyond this era.
Hearing this, Ding Qiunan and Zhou Shuqing couldn't help but take a breath.
Big brother is really scary!
They usually have teachers to teach them knowledge, but it is very difficult for them to learn, let alone learn university knowledge by themselves.
And it’s still the mathematics of ghost-drawing symbols. They can’t understand those symbols.
In the afternoon, after returning to school.
Teacher Ren Jiuzhang indeed brought good news.
The head of the department approved his application, and he can go to the office to take the exam in the afternoon.
"Hello, Director Duan."
Arriving at the office, Zhou Jimin saw Duan Xuefu and quickly said hello.
"Hello, classmate Zhou, I heard from Xiao Ren that you have taught yourself number theory, matrix geometry and other subjects, right?"
"Yes, I studied by myself before the college entrance examination. My memory is better, so I learn faster."
"Okay, I will take the exam in the next few days, and I will give all the questions."
Duan Xuefu's eyes were full of appreciation and curiosity, but he was also unambiguous and went straight to the topic.
"Although they are all research questions at the basic theoretical stage, I believe you will need time to complete them. Please take back these papers on the table."
"You don't need to go back to school these two days. Just hand it over to me after you finish the test paper."
"Remember, if you don't pass the exam, you have to go back to the classroom and study hard, do you hear me?"
Ren Jiuzhang is his student, and he believes in Xiao Ren's vision and character.
Therefore, he didn't chat too much with Zhou Jimin and directly gave him the test paper and would see the results two days later.
Zhou Jimin is also very straightforward. How nice would it be to have two days of rest?
I took the test paper and said something to Director Duan, then turned and left.
In the classroom, Li Yuzhu was still waiting for Zhou Jimin. Unexpectedly, the teachers were here and he hadn't arrived yet.
"Teacher, Zhou Jimin hasn't come to class yet."
I was a geometry teacher in the afternoon. Hearing Li Yuzhu’s words, he smiled and said:
"He is a genius. Teacher Ren has already taken him to Director Duan to take the leapfrog exam. He may not be in this classroom with everyone in the future."
The classmates were in an uproar, and Li Yuzhu was stunned on the spot.
Students who can get into Peking University are not ordinary people.
But now I actually heard that a classmate who was originally in the same class as you is now directly skipping the grade?
I haven’t heard that you can skip a higher level at the undergraduate level, and it’s not elementary school or junior high school.
University is higher education!
What kind of international joke are you kidding?
"Okay, don't worry about this, let's start class now."
Listening to the teacher above, Li Yuzhu's mind was in a mess. Is he really so afraid of himself?
Fortunately, her IQ was online and she recovered quickly. She put aside her chores and listened to the class seriously.
When Zhou Jimin returned home, he didn't know what happened in the classroom.
Zhou Shumin, who was bored with Wangcai and rhubarb, didn't pay attention, and the two big dogs ran away in an instant.
"Rhubarb, prosperous wealth, what are you running for?"
The little goldfish mumbled dissatisfiedly, but still got up and walked out.
Usually in this case, it must be someone at home.
But who would come to the house at this time of the afternoon?
Unexpectedly, when she opened the door, it was her eldest brother.
"Brother, why are you back?"
Seeing the surprise on her face, Zhou Jimin raised the test paper in his hand and said:
"Brother is bringing the test papers back for the exam. I'll go back and hand them in in two days."
"Ah? Can you still take the test at home? Aren't the teachers afraid of you cheating?"
"Haha, there is no standard answer for this kind of test paper. Whether you are cheating or not can be seen at a glance."
Zhou Jimin smiled and tried to explain in simple words:
"Moreover, there are a total of thirty questions here. It is almost impossible to complete them in two days. Even if the average student can complete half of them, it is considered amazing."
On the way back, he briefly glanced at it.
Even if Ren Jiuzhang was asked to answer, it would take two days to complete.
Not to mention that there are no computers now, even in the era of computers, if you want to complete these test papers, you will not be able to find the answers online.
The little goldfish listened in a daze, but still asked worriedly, "Brother, can you finish it?"
After pinching her little face, Zhou Jimin laughed loudly in her embarrassed expression:
"It's a small matter, let's go, I'll take you and Xiaoxian out to play."
"Really?"
When she heard that she could go out and play, she was instantly happy.
After a while, Su Ruyun watched Zhou Jimin holding the little guy and going out with the little goldfish and Wangcai, and she herself went back to Ding's house.
Nanjianzi Hutong, Zhoujia.
The two siblings spent the afternoon shopping outside, buying a lot of clothes for Little Goldfish and Zhou Qingxian, and also brought some pairs of shoes for Ding Qiunan and San Xiaozhi.
Then I came back satisfied.
The little goldfish is so happy.
She has visited all department stores, up and down, and has to go and take a look.
Zhou Qingxian is also very happy. The outside world is colorful and colorful. For her, a little guy, everything is full of magic and beauty.
However, after arriving home, the little guy squinted and took a nap.
"Wangcai, help me watch her. If she wakes up, shout quickly."
After placing the little one on her crib, Zhou Jimin gave Wangcai instructions and prepared to cook dinner.
"Brother, I'll wash the rice."
In the kitchen, the little goldfish also knows how to help cook.
"Okay, come on, do you know how much water to put in?"
"I know, brother, please check it for me later."
Seeing how confident she was, Zhou Jimin also became interested to see if her measurement was accurate.
After he had cut the bamboo shoots and beef, she finally washed the rice.
"Brother, look, are you sure?"
The little goldfish was holding the rice pot and looking at her big brother slightly nervously.
Just now, she measured it for a long time before finally confirming it.
Rice is rarely eaten in the north, but Zhou Jimin is used to eating rice.
Therefore, rice is always indispensable on the dining table at home.
Because of this, Zhou Jimin often taught them how to measure water more accurately.
There are no measuring cups now, so it’s all based on experience.
Fortunately, the rice cooked at home is rationed every day, not too much. After all, only Zhou Jimin and Sanxiao like to eat rice, while Zhou Shuqing and Ding Qiunan both prefer pasta.
"Well, it's almost done."
The little goldfish immediately smiled, but her big brother said again that she could have porridge tonight, and her smile froze in an instant.
Drink porridge?
She doesn’t want to drink porridge.
"Then I'll pour out some."
After a while, she ran back again and looked at him expectantly, "What now?"
"Well, what do you think?"
Huh?
She can't handle this. She is with her eldest brother. How can the eldest brother ask her questions?
Seeing her looking like she was about to cry, Zhou Jimin smiled and said:
"Okay, okay, you have to make your own judgment. Whether it's dry or watery, you have to eat it when the time comes."
Didn't you tell me if it would work?
Why has eldest brother become such a mother-in-law?
"Haha, idiot, that's enough, go and light the fire."
"Really?"
After being tossed around for a long time, Zhou Shumin was no longer so confident.
"Well, pay attention to the ignition and don't burn it."
In the era before rice cookers, it would be really troublesome to rely on firewood for cooking.
When Zhou Jimin was a child, he often ate the rice with the bottom of the pot as black as ink. Of course, he didn't eat the bottom of the pot, but he could eat the rice on top of the pot, which also had a mushy taste.
When rice cookers enter the mainland market, this matter will become history.
"Okay, I understand, brother."
Today is the first time for the little goldfish to cook seriously.
She just didn't care much about her little face. Zhou Jimin was busy preparing dishes. In a blink of an eye, her little face turned into a cat face.
At this moment, there was movement from the other side of the gate. It seemed that it was Ding Qiunan and the others who were back.
Sure enough, they appeared at the kitchen door after a while.
They were all surprised when they saw it was Zhou Jimin.
When I saw Zhou Shuqing's cat face again, I couldn't stop laughing.
After a lot of fuss, it was announced that the little goldfish would be exempted from the dishwashing duty tonight, and her third brother would come to wash the dishes.
The little goldfish is so happy. This sense of achievement in being recognized makes my whole body feel so comfortable.
At dinner, everyone was very considerate and finished all the rice.
Not to mention, the little goldfish is really attentive this time.
Grilled over charcoal fire, the crispy rice is very golden and fragrant.
In addition, Zhou Jimin also made winter melon and beef tendon ball soup tonight, and it tasted great with rice crust.
After dinner, Zhou Jimin didn’t do any test papers and seemed to have forgotten about it.
Moreover, in the next two days, Zhou Jimin was completely idle and did not take the test paper seriously.
It wasn't until that night, after putting Ding Qiunan to sleep, that he entered the warehouse space and started to do the questions.
Not to mention, the test questions this time are much more difficult than the college entrance examination.
With his accumulated knowledge, it was a bit difficult to do it.
The main reason is that his knowledge is messy and not systematic enough.
It took him nearly thirty hours to finally finish these thirty questions.
My brain was so burned that I had to go back to the ground floor to sleep until I was full before returning to the bedroom.
Suddenly, he returned to Yanyuan and handed in the test paper.
"All done?"
Duan Xuefu was surprised. Zhou Jimin in front of him was full of energy, without any trace of tiredness or panda eyes.
But I have finished all thirty questions. Is this possible?
He knows very well the difficulty level of the questions he asks.
Even his most talented student Shi Shengming cannot guarantee that he will finish it within two days.
"Yes, Director Duan, didn't you say? Submit it within two days."
Zhou Jimin blinked with an innocent expression.
"Okay, then you go back and have a good rest. Come over before class in the afternoon."
Duan Xuefu suddenly became happy and said with a smile.
Zhou Jimin almost blushed when he said this. He had really had a good rest in the past two days.
After leaving Peking University, I bumped into Wang Erniu and Ma Xinbao as soon as I arrived at my door.
"Hey, Director Ma, Brother Wang, you are a rare visitor, please come in quickly."
"No, no, I'll run an errand and leave your things at home. You can do your work first."
Wang Erniu didn't dare to hold it, and Ma Xinbao knew there was no rush, so he left with the former after saying a few polite words.
After walking for a while, Wang Erniu, who was driving, wondered:
"Second uncle, didn't you say you wanted to have a good relationship with Consultant Zhou? Why didn't you come in when he invited you just now?"
"Didn't you hear just now? Rare visitor!"
"Ah, I heard it. It's indeed our first time here. We're not just rare visitors."
"Then do you know what kind of guest should Director Yang call when he comes to visit you for the first time?"
"How do I know this?"
"So you are stupid, distinguished guest, or Lao Liang, who is very familiar with Zhou Jimin. They just knocked on the door and went in. If it were you, would you be able to do it?"
While the two were talking, Wang Erniu suddenly said, "Hey, isn't that Secretary Chen's car?"
"Looking at the direction, we should be looking for Zhou Jimin. This is a regular customer."
The regular customers they mentioned had indeed arrived at the door of Zhou’s house in Nanjianzi Lane.
Zhou Jimin did not be polite to Secretary Chen and handed a box to the other party, "Brother Chen must also hand over the information to Lao Yang in person. There is a printer in the factory. After the information is confirmed, you can copy it, but you must keep it confidential.
”
"Please rest assured that we will complete the task."
Secretary Chen said seriously, got in the car with the box and left.
Watching the vehicle leave, Zhou Jimin didn't look back until it disappeared around the corner.
In the yard, the little goldfish couldn't wait because he bought a TV set.
When Zhou Jimin returned to the yard, he was pulled by the little goldfish to install the TV.
Because she doesn’t know how to do it at all, it’s all words she can’t understand.
Well, actually she doesn’t know many words.
"What's the rush? Even if it is turned on now, there probably won't be any programs."
The black and white TV sets of this era did not have programs from morning to night, but only at specific times.
Moreover, there are very few TV stations.
It was only launched on CCTV last year, which is evident from this.
The steel rolling mill also bought two TV sets, mainly for the entertainment of workers.
That’s all, I bought it after Zhou Jimin’s suggestion.
When the little goldfish heard this, he was full of disbelief: Brother, you are not fooling me, right?
Zhou Jimin was also unambiguous and started playing around immediately.
After the signal wires were set up, there was indeed a sizzling sound and a gray screen.
There is no program!
But the little goldfish shouted in surprise, "It's coming, it's coming."
Of course she still remembers this situation after watching the movie.
Isn't that how old-fashioned movies started?
However, after waiting for a long time, there was nothing.
The wait is in vain!
The disappointed little goldfish had no choice but to cook.
During lunch time, when Ding Qiunan and the others came back, there was another commotion.
But at lunch time, there was finally a program.
Watching the news also let them see the feeling of a super blockbuster.
And this was news several days ago, and the international news section was even a week ago.
Hey, I’m speechless!
Even so, Zhou Jimin didn't understand this novel experience, but Ding Qiunan and the others liked it very much.
In the afternoon, before going back to school, Zhou Jimin told the little goldfish not to turn on the TV by himself.
It’s not that I’m afraid that she’ll be addicted to it, but that I’m afraid that she’ll be electrocuted.
Wires and sockets are protected by plastic, making it difficult to get an electric shock.
Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected.
For this reason, Zhou Jimin also specifically told Wangcai and Dahuang to keep an eye on her.
Fortunately, Su Ruyun came over.
He finally returned to school with confidence.
Duan Xuefu in the office was shocked.
Throughout the morning and noon, he read the test papers given by Zhou Jimin, and the answers surprised him.
Many problem-solving ideas and methods are beyond the reach of many graduate students, and even some methods may not even be figured out by doctoral students.
This is a mathematical genius!
Duan Xuefu never doubted the authenticity of this test paper. If it was not Zhou Jimin but someone else, it would be absolutely impossible.
People of this caliber are at least research scholars who have graduated from doctoral degrees for many years.
Such a person would not be able to answer such a test paper in a boring way, nor would he write for Zhou Jimin and be willing to be a gunman.
"You came just in time to tell me what you think."
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the office, and it happened to be Zhou Jimin.
Duan Xuefu immediately stood up happily and invited him to sit down and chat.
Compared with his attitude in the morning, he is now much more easy-going and respectful, and he already looks like he is talking on an equal footing.
"Thank you, director."
Zhou Jimin also beat snakes on the stick with a genuine smile on his face.
Since Duan Xuefu expressed his intention to be close, how could he refuse?
After the two had a conversation, Duan Xuefu was even more surprised.
"Your research in number theory, geometry, linear equations, etc. has surpassed most of the teachers in our department... You are a formidable junior!"
"Teacher, you are so grateful. I am still a student and I can never compare to the teachers. Whether it is talent or life, there are so many things I need to learn and improve."
After the conversation, Duan Xuefu was delighted to see Liexin and decided to teach Zhou Jimin himself.
"You are still humble. In the field of mathematics, modesty is the most important thing."
Duan Xuefu secretly scolded the little slippery man, but continued:
"I have an idea. How about you think about it?"
"Teacher, I will listen to your instructions."
Zhou Jimin also became serious.
"Since your current idea is to alienate yourself from your own knowledge, it is definitely not suitable for you to be a student. I would like to ask you to be a lecturer and teach the two courses of mathematical analysis and differential geometry. How about it?"
"Ah?"
For a moment, Zhou Jimin was stunned by Duan Xuefu's boldness and willfulness.
After coming back to his senses, he refused again and again, saying that he had little talent and knowledge and could not do anything that would mislead others.
"Haha, even though I only chatted with you for more than an hour, you were in the test paper, which shocked me a lot."
Duan Xuefu couldn't be happier to see the other party like this:
"So you don't have to belittle yourself. You can do whatever I say is good for you. Let's do a trial class for a week. Anyway, it's not long since school started, so it's just right."
Finding that Zhou Jimin still wanted to refuse, Duan Xuefu stood up and asked the former to call Ren Jiuzhang over.
Zhou Jimin was in a daze, feeling as if he had been knocked unconscious.
Ren Jiuzhang came over quickly and was dumbfounded when he heard Duan Xuefu's instructions.
In a few days, my students became not only my junior fellow students, but also my colleagues.
What's wrong with this world?
Not to mention Ren Jiuzhang's surprise, Zhou Jimin looked helpless at this moment.
He came to Peking University to study. How come he came to Peking University to teach in less than a week?
I followed Ren Jiuzhang out of the director's office in a daze, and then came to the office next to him.
"Jimin, you can sit opposite me and work from now on."
Ren Jiuzhang pointed to the opposite side of his desk, then looked at the other teachers in the office and said:
"Teachers, let me introduce to you. This is Zhou Jimin, an intern teacher for freshmen this year. He teaches two courses: mathematical analysis and differential geometry."
At this moment, Zhou Jimin, who had woken up, said directly:
"Senior Brother Ren, you are wrong. I am not a trainee teacher. Please wait for me."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out, leaving all the teachers stunned.
Ren Jiuzhang couldn't even figure out what the fuss was about?
In the office of the dean of the mathematics department, Zhou Jimin found Duan Xuefu and declined the teacher's assignment.
He expressed that he was only willing to accept project research and was unwilling to take over teaching work.
Although starting from reality, teaching work makes it easier for him to clarify knowledge.
However, he is only sixteen years old, so he is really not suitable.
It’s so appalling.
Duan Xuefu was surprised and thought for a long time before agreeing to his application.
"There are many topics suitable for you, but you need to find them yourself. I will give you one week to submit ten research topics. If you can't confirm it yourself, you can ask your senior brother Xiao Ren, he knows how to do it." p>
"Okay, thank you, teacher."
Zhou Jimin breathed a sigh of relief when he walked out of the director's office.
In the office, Ren Jiuzhang was speechless for a long time after listening.
But he also breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he was still thinking about how to convince the teachers of mathematical analysis and differential geometry.
It's better now, it saves trouble.
However, you really need to think carefully about how to choose the topic for research.
After coming out of Yanyuan, Zhou Jimin felt completely relaxed.
Fortunately, I didn't agree to be a teacher, otherwise I would have been sealed in Peking University.
Now it's just right, he doesn't have to run to school every day.
You just need to figure out your own research topic.
Ren Jiuzhang gave him a lot of suggestions just now, so he picked ten research topics and planned to take a look at them in the next few days to see how to do them.
Unexpectedly, Ren Jiuzhang was shocked when he heard that he was going to choose ten topics.
The difficulty level is equivalent to that of a PhD project, so you just picked ten?
"Senior Brother Ren, what's wrong? Do I have too few choices?"
Zhou Jimin was confused. Director Duan did ask him to choose ten topics. He remembered correctly.
"No, no." Ren Jiuzhang shook his head repeatedly. Being smart, he immediately understood that this was the teacher's plan.
Seeing this, Zhou Jimin happily took the subject and left.
At home, the little goldfish is confused again. Why doesn’t the elder brother go to class?
In the evening, after Ding Qiunan and the others came back, the little goldfish sneakily took her second sister to the small courtyard, looked around very cautiously, and then said after confirming that there was no eavesdropping:
"Second sister, I found that my eldest brother has not been going to school these two days. Do you think my eldest brother will be expelled from school?"
Bang!
Her second sister gave her a sharp slap on her smooth forehead, which made her feel aggrieved.
"Your eldest brother got into the exam based on his ability. How could the school expel him for no reason? It's all nonsense."
Not long after, Zhou Jimin also found out about this.
Suddenly he couldn't laugh or cry. He pinched the little goldfish's ears and said:
"Can't you just look forward to me? Haven't they all said, be careful about your age and think wildly every day, and you can easily become an old woman. Little goldfish, do you want to become an old woman?"
The little goldfish wanted to shake his head, but when he pulled it, his ears suddenly suffered.
Today is really miserable. My forehead and ears have suffered different blows, and I don’t know how much I need to eat to make up for it.
Suddenly, when Lao Liang came to the door with mooncakes, Zhou Jimin remembered that the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming soon.
During the chat, when Lao Liang learned that Zhou Jimin did not go to school, he opened his mouth in shock and quickly asked what happened?
After a while, when he finished reading the ten research topics, he fell silent.
I originally thought that Zhou Jimin would just go to Peking University to be a student, but unexpectedly, he went directly to study the project.
Moreover, he can understand the words on these topics, but when combined with the symbols, it is completely beyond his cognition.
Lao Liang hasn't left yet, Xu Mei is here too.
"Yeah, brother-in-law, you arrived before me."
"Well, I just sat down for a while. You young people, let's chat. I'll go back first."
Xu Li, who was teaching Ding Qiunan her experience in pregnancy and childbirth, left after being summoned by Lao Liang.
Xu Mei wanted to chat more with Zhou Jimin, but the latter went directly to the master bedroom to see Zhou Qingxian, so the task of entertaining the guests naturally fell on Ding Qiunan and Zhou Shuqing.
Su Ruyun dislikes Xu Mei very much.
Because the latter is not only beautiful, but also wants to seduce her son-in-law.
If she didn’t say anything bad to Xu Mei, she was considered to have a good temper.
The little goldfish is the most shameless, and she has accepted all the sugar-coated bullets Xu Mei throws at her.
But he doesn’t do anything, he just acts cute.
It perfectly explains what Pixiu is, it can only go in but not out.
Although Xu Mei only came here a few times, it made Zhou Shumin's small treasury thicker.
In fact, it's not just her, Zhou Shuqing's three little vaults have also increased in thickness.
There is no way, who made Xu Mei the chief of the finance section?
However, the sugar coating can be left on, and the cannonball will be treated as a squib.
So my sister-in-law is in charge of the house, so no goblins can come.
Even if Zhou Jimin didn't know about the overt and covert struggles between the women, he probably had some guesses.
His attitude is very obvious, but Xu Mei doesn't give up.
Avoiding is the wisest choice.
After Xu Mei left, Lao Yang and Mrs. Yang also came over.
When the two 'elders' came over, the house suddenly became lively.
Mrs. Yang especially likes Zhou Jimin's family. Not only is it lively, but the relationship between the brothers and sisters is very harmonious.
Every time, whether they go to their home or her home, they can feel it.
Five extremely polite brothers and sisters.
"Xiaoxian has grown up a lot and gained a lot of weight."
Mrs. Yang, who was teasing Zhou Qingxian, said with a smile.
However, the little goldfish boss was not happy and said that she was good at everything except that she was fat.
How can I eat well when I am already fat?
Everyone laughed and didn't take it seriously, and immediately started talking about Zhou Qingxian calling her parents.
Well, I still can only call me dad occasionally, but my mother has never called me.
Regardless, everyone knows it and it will be over soon.
After Lao Yang and his wife left, Zhou Jimin told everyone: Make mooncakes!
Several waves of guests have arrived, and the family has not prepared any decent return gifts. This is outrageous.
"Ah? Brother, what kind of mooncakes are we going to make?"
As the little goldfish with the most questions in the family, I immediately raised my hand to ask questions.
Lao Yang and the others brought mung bean cakes.
Just flour, eggs and sugar to make a skin, add mung bean stuffing, and apply a little peanut oil. This is the high-end mooncake of this era.
Although there are few styles and single tastes, in the early days of the founding of New China, this kind of mooncakes could only be afforded by families with good financial conditions.
Many times it is reserved by the unit and distributed to leading cadres.
The steel rolling mill, also known as Red Star Company, has achieved good results this year.
But not all workers can receive mooncakes.
"I'll give it a try first, and soon you will know what it is."
Zhou Jimin’s words immediately made everyone more curious.
He first made many molds in the space, such as a delicate and compact snow-skin mooncake mold, and two molds the size of an adult's palm.
There is a sand pear tree in the space, which is perfect for making molds.
After the mold is made, the next step is to prepare the ingredients.
Flour, eggs, sugar, lotus paste, ham, fruits, dried fruits, mung beans, salted duck eggs, etc.
Ding Qiunan pointed to the separated bags of flour and asked what they were.
"This is all-purpose flour, glutinous rice flour, sticky rice flour..."
Most mooncakes only require all-purpose flour, but snowskin mooncakes require glutinous rice flour, sticky rice flour and clear noodles.
Chengmian is a kind of gluten-free flour composed of wheat and is suitable for making various snacks.
After being fully prepared, Zhou Jimin began to arrange work.
The careless brothers, the third and fourth brothers, are best suited for oven work.
The dough work was left to the mother-in-law, and Zhou Shuqing and the little goldfish were responsible for making moon cakes.
The rest of the work was coordinated by Zhou Jimin and Ding Qiunan.
For example, in the work of extracting egg yolks, the pregnant Ding Qiunan insisted on helping.
"Here, this is filled with lotus paste. Remember to use this mold to press..."
The first thing to make was the lotus seed mooncake that the little goldfish talked about.
Then came the meringue mooncakes, ham mooncakes, five-nut mooncakes, and the snowskin mooncakes that were almost difficult to give birth to.
Almost every kind of mooncake is made in large quantities.
As soon as Zhou Jimin discovered that he needed to give gifts to many people.
Secondly, there are many people in the family, one for you and one for me, and we will soon reach the bottom.
Judging from the scarcity of materials in this era.
Even if the mooncake only has a shelf life of more than 20 days, there is no need to worry about it expiring.
After all, there are many people in the family, so it will be finished quickly.
When the moon rises above the willow branches, the courtyard is filled with an intoxicating fragrance.
Still, neighbors smelled some.
However, everyone had already fallen asleep and did not get up to cause trouble.
If it were the neighbors in Nanluogu Lane, they would have rushed over long ago.
The mooncakes have been made. Fortunately, the snowskin mooncakes that Zhou Jimin was most worried about did not overturn.
In the early morning, the sun shines on the earth.
Today is a day off. Ding Qiuhong and her sister-in-law Fang Xiaochun came over to her brother-in-law's house for dinner.
As soon as she entered the door, she smelled a faint fragrance.
It smells very good, it must be delicious food.
She was quite sure that it was not the usual lavender aroma, but the aroma of food.
The sister-in-law and sister-in-law looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
Did my brother-in-law cook something delicious again?
When the two came to the yard, Zhou Jimin, who was weeding the vegetable field, smiled and asked them to go to the living room, where there were mooncakes.
"So many?"
The living room is filled with many mooncakes.
Fang Xiaochun and Ding Qiuhong both looked surprised.
There are too many, it smells so good and I want to eat it.
Part of it has been wrapped in oil paper, and there is red oil paper on the outside, which is very festive and attractive.
Listening to her sister's introduction, Ding Qiuhong was envious and swallowed her saliva.
It would be great if I could marry a man like my brother-in-law in the future.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but blush slightly.
Fortunately, no one noticed her.
Not long after, Zhou Jimin came in carrying the box.
Today he needs to use oil paper to pack these mooncakes and give them away.
These days, there is no need for too luxurious decorations.
The simple and unpretentious oil paper can satisfy everyone’s imagination and desire for delicious food.
There are five lotus seeds in one bundle and five mung bean fillings in one bundle.
In addition to giving away to others, even the mooncakes you eat yourself are wrapped in oil paper and placed in a rice vat so that they are not easy to spoil.
The rice in the rice vat has the ability to absorb water and acts as a desiccant. The mooncakes will not become damp easily when placed in the rice vat.
Where has the family heard this statement before?
Anyway, if you don’t know how to do it, just follow it.
"Nannan, you stay at home with your father-in-law first, and I'll go and deliver mooncakes to the senior leaders and the others."
"Okay, go and come back quickly."
The reason why I didn’t send mooncakes to Lao Yang immediately.
First, Lao Yang just sent moon cakes yesterday, and he returned the gift today, which is a bit unjustifiable.
Second, my father-in-law and the others are also here. If I want to give a gift to Lao Yang, the whole family will definitely have to go.
I was riding a bicycle, carrying several food boxes, and a big box tied to the back seat of the bike.
Then, we went straight to a cadre community with extremely strict management.
The houses inside are all independent villas.
There were four soldiers standing guard at the door. When they saw him coming, they asked him to show his pass.
No one will be allowed in without a permit.
How could Zhou Jimin have a certificate? He doesn’t live here.
After talking for a long time, I was stunned and refused to come in.
Just when he was dejected, Li Yuzhu appeared.
"Zhou Jimin...what are you doing here?"
When she saw him, Li Yuzhu was still a little happy, but then she thought of something and her face suddenly turned cold.
"Oh, it's nothing. I'm delivering moon cakes to the boss. Do you live here too? I remember you seem to live in Lingjing Hutong, right?"
"Do you still care about where I live? Huh, why don't you come to school these days?"
Li Yuzhu asked fiercely.
"Oh, you don't live here, so forget it. I originally wanted you to help me."
Zhou Jimin's unabashed disappointment made Li Yuzhu immediately take the bait.
It’s not that she couldn’t guess Zhou Jimin’s little thoughts, but she was willing to do so.
The four soldiers standing guard looked strange.
But after Li Yuzhu begged, she couldn't help but remind her to call her big brother.
"My face doesn't matter?"
Brother Bing has a mission, how could he blatantly violate it?
Therefore, no matter how coquettish and begging Li Yuzhu is, Brother Bing is still hard-hearted.
As a last resort, Li Yuzhu had no choice but to make a phone call.
Soon, the guard had a call with Li Yuzhu's eldest brother, and then he agreed to let him go.
"Thank you, classmate Li Yuzhu."
Zhou Jimin didn't expect that the other party would actually bring him in.
"This is a mooncake that my wife, sister, and I made together. I am a classmate. Please accept it."
Again, you have a wife, am I that bad?
Li Yuzhu rolled his eyes, but still took the box.
"Let's talk again when we have time, bye."
I have helped, and he has also given me a thank you gift, so that’s the end of it.
Seeing him running away, Li Yuzhu felt angry and helpless.
Why are we destined but not destined?
The big leader’s house, at the door.
The old lady saw a handsome and tall young man coming to the door with a gift. Although she was unhappy, she still asked with a smile.
I learned that he was from Red Star Company, so I let him in.
The soldiers on guard at the gate must have checked the gifts inside the box.
Being able to bring it in means that it is really just a mooncake, not a 'mooncake'.
Zhou Jimin never expected that the leader would have guests at home.
So he just thought about putting down the gift and leaving.
The excuse is too real, and I have to send mooncakes to the next family.
When the old lady and the guests heard this, they couldn't help but laugh: This young man is really reckless. How could he rush to the next house to give gifts in front of the host?
"They are my children, not guests. Please sit down for a while. Lao Lin will be back soon."
Sure enough, while Zhou Jimin was sitting on pins and needles waiting, the big leader came back.
Seeing that it was Zhou Jimin, the senior leader was slightly surprised.
When I saw the moon cake he sent me, I took a bite and was even more surprised.
The leader's wife and children couldn't help but widen their eyes when they saw the big leader's actions.
How is that possible?
When has a big leader ever accepted gifts from others?
Not even once!
But this time, the big leader not only accepted it, but also took advantage of it.
It seems that this young man’s status in the eyes of the big leaders is extraordinary.
"You all give it a try. Xiao Zhou's craftsmanship is really good. Well, it's delicious, but the ham is a bit sticky to the teeth."
Seeing what Lao Lin said, the leader's wife and children reached out to get the mooncakes.
Hmm, surprisingly delicious.
After they all had eaten, the leader led Zhou Jimin to the study.
As soon as he sat down, Lao Lin smiled and said to him:
"If you, kid, are willing to spend more time on scientific research, then more people in our country can eat such delicious mooncakes."
"Look what you said, wouldn't Red Star Company be just as prosperous with or without me?"
"Well, I heard that you haven't been studying at Peking University recently?"
"It's unfair. I was taught by Director Duan. The teacher gave me ten topics. I've just been thinking about them at home these days..."
"Thinking about how to make something delicious? Like this moon cake?"
Faced with the big boss's teasing, Zhou Jimin blushed even though he was thick-skinned.
"No, boss, please listen to my quibbles. Bah, no, listen to my explanation..."
Half an hour later, Zhou Jimin walked out of the study.
The leader behind him asked his wife to get Maotai and cigarettes, and sent Zhou Jimin to the door. After the latter left, he said to the soldiers on guard:
"If he comes to me in the future, I will let him go directly. However, I must inspect the gifts he brings. Also, the documents are not allowed to be viewed, especially confidential documents."
Such strange instructions left the soldiers confused.
