Chapter 149: Mooncakes on August 15

"Sister-in-law, you heard me, tell me what you want to eat in the future. By the way, come back fifteen years ago, and I'll leave you some good meat. It seems that he is still ready to kill the pig at fifteen.

"I've had some trouble lately, and I didn't come fifteen years ago. The peanuts in the backyard are almost there, let's go and shave some and cook them for the children. ”

Grandma and the two of them went to the backyard to shave a piece of peanuts. The flowers are growing really well, and there is a large handful of peanuts under each pier, and the peanut kernels inside are full of warehouses.

Youyou remembered Gui Ping's riddle: "A child is two fingers high, with a pockmarked face and a pot-like waist. Looking at Luo Xincai, he didn't dare to speak, and he almost suffered internal injuries. In his heart, he secretly despised himself for being unkind, discriminated against the disabled, and forgot his embarrassment in his previous life.

"A hemp house, a red tent, and a fat white man lives in it. Yoyo, who was in his mouth, remembered another riddle and said it out loud.

Wang Daidi was stunned for a while, laughed, hugged Youyou and kissed her. "Yoyo good girl, I'll give you a riddle to see if you can guess it. ”

Luo Xincai hurriedly said: "A child is two fingers high, with a pockmarked face and a pot. Yoyo, guess. ”

Wang Daidi covered her stomach with a smile, and shouted in her mouth: "No, my stomach hurts from laughing." ”

Grandma looked at them and laughed.

After shaving two sacks of peanuts, grandma gave Luo Xincai's family a bag, and gave him the key to the backyard, so that he could collect the peanuts in time.

Lunch at Luo Xincai's house at noon, after the meal, grandma took Youyou to the county food station. The moon cakes there are similar to Zhang Ji's, 50 catties of wholesale, the wholesale price is 050 yuan, the price is the same as Zhang Ji's, grandma asked for 200 catties.

As soon as I got home, the mother of the "senior high school" "little old mother" came, and saw that my grandmother had entered the moon cakes in the county, and happily bought six catties. "I just said that I have to wait for your mooncakes, look, I'm still waiting for this city. ”

I ate the two kinds of moon cakes in Zhangji and the county seat, and I didn't feel any difference, the only difference was that the factory site printed on the wrapping paper was different. But seeing that she was happy, Yoyo swallowed the words back into her mouth.

At this time, the moon cakes are made with high-quality raw materials, said to be five kernels, in fact, there are three kinds of peanuts, walnuts, sesame, plus green and red silk, rock sugar, and sugar. The moon cake is drum-shaped, the edge is slightly bulging, the pattern and handwriting are clear, the shape is upright, the skin is not broken, the filling is not exposed, and the corners are distinct. The Hokage's mastery of the Tailed Beast

The surface is golden, uniform in color, with a greasy luster, ivory edges, and brownish-red underside. The taste is sweet, soft and crispy, and there are a variety of nut flavors. The skin is thin and filling, delicious and delicious, not easy to break, and easy to carry.

Compared with the sky-high moon cakes in later generations, Yoyo feels that the current moon cakes are genuine and delicious.

The "little old mother" has a very strong publicity ability, and she didn't go back for a long time, so she came to several houses to buy moon cakes, all of which were sold to give gifts.

In the evening, grandma was free to send things to her uncle's house, and this time grandma sent three baskets of apples and 10 catties of moon cakes for them to go to relatives. Seeing half a bag of flowers, my uncle and grandmother sat down and picked it up.

"Sister-in-law, don't jump, there's not much, let's cook it for the children. ”

After listening to grandma's words, my uncle and grandma were not happy. "It's half a bag, it's not much, let's usually catch the market, and we will buy two cents for the children. I picked the full ones and dried them, and put them in the New Year's fry to eat. The remaining peanuts are enough to cook in a pot. ”

Grandma boiled a pot of spiced peanuts, and Haohao and Didi ate it. The poor two children have never eaten boiled peanuts since they were so old.

Haohao held his stomach and struggled with it: whether the spiced flowers were delicious or the burnt peanuts were delicious.

The next day, people from Shimiao and nearby villages also came to buy moon cakes, all six catties, and 190 catties of moon cakes were sold out in one day. When the people in the village found out, they all asked Grandma to go in again, regretting that they didn't buy it earlier.

A pound of moon cakes earns a dime, and Yoyo really doesn't want to go, but grandma happily agreed, mainly to satisfy everyone's vanity. Also, at the same price, the county town is also more upscale than the commune.

At the beginning of the morning, Youyou had to resign himself to getting up early and followed his grandmother to the county seat. Grandma said that she wanted more this time, so she asked for 500 pounds.

Yoyo said that if it wasn't enough, he wouldn't come again. Grandma smiled and agreed, "There will be no gifts in the future, the family wants a pound or two, these are enough." ”

It's really grandma accurate, although there are many people who buy moon cakes when they get home, but the number is small, Hantun Village is better, most of them cost two catties, and most of the people in other villages want one catty. Charm Palace Flowers

Early in the morning on the tenth day of the new year, Zhiyuan came, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he shouted: "Hao Hao, my family has made dates, hurry up." ”

Hao Hao heard the sound and ran away with him, and they were gone. Just as he wanted to run, Didi rubbed his eyes and came out of the house, almost crying. "My brother is bad, don't take me. I had no choice but to lead him slowly.

The two jujube trees of the uncle's house were higher than the roof of the hall, and the uncle stood on the roof and beat the jujube trees vigorously with a long wooden stick, and the red jujube fell down with a clatter.

The yard was cleaned very clean by my aunt, and there were two sorghum straws under the trees. It was covered with a layer of red dates and green leaves, and a lot of red dates rolled off the outside of the silk.

Zhiyuan and a few of them ran to pick it up, picked up a red and purple one, and quickly stuffed it in their mouths, it was so well cooked, and it was very sweet to eat raw.

From time to time, the children were hit by falling dates, and immediately screamed, "Hit me." Everyone laughed when they heard it.

There are very few red dates on the tree, only a few are hidden in the leaves, and it is not easy to find. The uncle asked his aunt, "Okay." ”

"Hit it again, didn't you say that there are dates and no dates, and you beat it three times. After listening to my aunt's instructions, my uncle beat it again with a stick, and a layer of green jujube leaves fell.

After watching it, I have a new understanding of traditional agricultural customs. Jujube leaves are used to promote flower bud differentiation by inhibiting vegetative growth.

Uncle and grandmother sat in the hall and watched Zhiru, Didi, Zhiyong, and Zhiqiang, they were too old and ignorant, and they were afraid that the round dates would get stuck with them. The four little ones all wanted to squeeze out, but unfortunately there was a table at the door, and they couldn't get out, so they were so anxious that they jumped straight in the house.

The two jujube trees were full of dustpans and two blues, and the uncle put the sorghum silk on the wooden frame, and the wisdom helped the aunt pick the jujubes, and picked out the round and big ones and poured them on them to dry.

In the end, there were some small ones left and those that were bitten by insects, and the family took a small shoulder blue and took them back to eat fresh dates.

At noon, grandma chopped the dates, threw away the dates and insects, and steamed a pot of jujube buns in the noodles, which was sweet and fragrant. The brothers and sisters of Youyou just eat jujube buns, and they have round bellies.
