Ah Yao was holding the nine dumplings, obviously surprised to see Mo Xingle's family.

What's there to be surprised about?

She didn't figure it out, and brought the dessert with a smile: "I thought that today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and after dinner, I will make the zongzi a little smaller, one bite at a time." The elderly may need to divide the rice dumplings into two and taste them separately. ”

It was a long plate, with the branches drawn with sauce, and the nine dumplings were dotted like fruit, and finally decorated with calamus.

Jiuzi dumplings are of different colors, and the little nephew looked at the cute little chubby hand to touch it, but failed, and was taken away by Mo Xingle's mother.

"The color of zongzi is different, and the taste is different?" Mo Xingle's mother asked.

"The black zongzi on the left and right sides are black rice, the fillings are candied dates with a little sweetness and the duck egg yolk with a rustling taste, the brown is the alkaline bean paste zongzi, the jade is the mung bean salted meat zongzi, next to the eight treasure zongzi, there are glutinous rice, millet, millet rice, oats, red beans, mung beans, lotus seeds, the taste is sweet, and the middle is the fresh meat zongzi. There is only one fresh meat zongzi, and the others are two. ”

She asked Mo Xingle in advance if he had anything to pay attention to in terms of the taste of zongzi, and learned that every year their family always had to come to the proposition of "do you eat sweet zongzi or salty zongzi", regardless of the fact that they ate two flavors of zongzi in the end, they would pinch it before that.

"Yes, you can. "Grandparents each sandwiched a black rice dumpling, grandpa ate sweet ones, grandma ate salty ones. Mo Xingle's father eats salty dumplings, his mother eats sweet dumplings, and his little nephew is entangled between eight-treasure dumplings and bean paste dumplings.

Mo Xingle's mother: "Little girl, you did it all today, isn't it very expensive, how old is this year?"

"Brother Mo passed by Nanxun and helped our family a very important favor, and later I came to the capital and he solved the nuisance of the gangsters. I have no special skills, only a little cooking skills can be on the table, thanks to Brother Mo, invite me to your mansion for a family banquet, I can't be happy, how can I collect money. Yao explained, "This year's fourteenth ......"

She thought that the people of the Mo family thought that she was too young to support a family banquet by herself, so she hurriedly added: "Don't look at my young age, I apprenticed at the age of seven or eight, and I have been learning to cook with the master for seven years, and I can cook many dishes." ”

Fourteen years old, she used to be fourteen years old in the boudoir, and she didn't even set foot in the kitchen, this little girl was already able to make a good dish. Mo Xingle's mother looked at A-Yao, whose cheeks were slightly chubby, and hurriedly defended, trying her best to pretend to be an adult, but no matter how she looked at it, she was still childish, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, and said softly: "The little girl's family is really amazing, and she will often come to the house as a guest in the future." ”

Ah Yao only took it as a kind word and agreed obediently.

Later, she was invited by Mrs. Mo to cook a few times, and most of Mo Xingle's father's former colleagues came to cook a table of dishes. Don't say I don't know, the Mo family is a three-way scholar, Mo Xingle is in Dali Temple, and his brother also holds a heavy position in the criminal department, his father paved the way for his two sons as soon as possible, but his influence is still there, and Mo Xingle is also angry with his brother, and is favored by the bigwigs.

There are many chefs who can cook delicacies from the mountains and seas, but it is difficult to find a chef who can make a meal that can make everyone feel comfortable and happy.

Without knowing it, Ah Yao gradually became famous.

……

Now that I already know that the bird's nest is in the eldest princess's mansion and has become a maid with a head and a face, I am worried that the bird's nest does not know that it is in that place, so I let go.

Keeping in mind the instructions on the bird's nest letter not to contact her, Quan thought that she had never seen her, Ah Yao did so, in contrast, she felt that she was content with the status quo, and she was a little salted, and you didn't see how long it took for the bird's nest to be able to follow the eunuch who was not low in status to enter and leave the princess's mansion, which was difficult, Ah Yao couldn't imagine how much she paid, but she knew very well in her heart, if she didn't go up, she didn't get into the eyes of nobles, and Mochizuki's matter would never have a chance to turn the page.

The identities of her master and her sister are involved in the affairs of the previous dynasty, she worships under the Mochizuki Gate, and Mochizuki teaches each other, she can't do anything to draw a clear line, and the road is facing the sky on both sides. At present, what she can do is to practice her cooking skills diligently, participate in the culinary exchange on September 9, and enter the four departments and six bureaus of the government office in one fell swoop.

Time flashed to the Mid-Autumn Festival.

She'll be in time for another month!

But the cooking conference was held in Chongyang, on the ninth day of September, and her birthday was on September 15...... Ah Yao thought of this and hurriedly inquired, but fortunately, they seemed to be really eager to find talents, as long as their birthday was in September, whether it was before or after Chongyang, they could plan to sign up.

Flattered!

The two sisters and brothers in Sun Niang's foot shop can see that Ah Yao has been in a good mood recently, so good that she sometimes instructs the two of them, which makes Li Gang and Li Rou flattered, how many restaurant cooks are unwilling to let others learn their eating skills, but Ah Yao is willing to guide them.

"It's good if you teach me one or two, aren't you afraid that we will learn to take your place?" asked Li Rou.

Ah Yao smiled: "If it is so easy to snatch away, then your cooking skills must be extremely talented, and you can cultivate it again." Well, don't think too much, help knead the dough to make mooncakes, and sell mooncakes at noon. ”

Sun Niang knew that Ah Yao had signed up for Chongyang's cooking competition, and she asked, "When the time comes, you won't come back after entering the four divisions and six bureaus of the official office, right?"

"I can continue to work here for a while, and I can't leave until I find a good cook. A-Yao said with a smile.

She inquired that several chefs who stood out in the cooking competition were invited to a banquet for officials and nobles, which was the reward for participating in the cooking competition. Chefs registered in the government-run four divisions and six bureaus, if they are idle cooks, the government-run four divisions and six bureaus can send jobs to them, and the pricing is determined by the four divisions and six bureaus, and the tax is also paid out of the remuneration, and customers can buy materials in the four divisions and six bureaus by the way.

Generally speaking, the government-run four divisions and six bureaus are backed by the imperial court's big ship, and the chefs and cooks in the capital are convenient to manage, and the pricing is standardized, effectively restricting some cooks and cooks from asking for a price, and the people can afford to invite the cooks, and the chefs who are not well-known can also find work through the four divisions and six bureaus, without signing a deed of sale, and if you don't want to go to the four divisions and six bureaus to order a mao, you can not go, which is similar to the tooth line.

The pros and cons only depend on their identities as those at the top of the pyramid or the crowd at the bottom of the tower.

"It's good to dare to be affectionate. Sun Niang smiled.

After noon, there were not many people in the store, and Sun Niang handed out a basket of fruits and moon cakes: "Today's festival is over, let's go back early." ”

"Okay, thank you hostess. Ah Yao, Li Gang and Li Rou took the basket back to their respective homes, but Song Fang still didn't move, he touched his head, and his face was ashamed: "I'm alone at home, if you don't dislike the boss...... Can you cook more for me?"

Sun Niang was stunned, and scolded with a smile: "You idiot! Chenghao, I'll go cook, and you help take care of Dawa and Xiaobao." ”

Song Fang laughed stupidly.

A-Yao carried the fruit home, and in the afternoon, all kinds of small lanterns were hung in the alley, and everyone had a smile on their faces, as if they were celebrating the New Year.

Infected with the joy of their family reunion, A-Yao also smiled and bent her eyes.

When she got home, she opened the door, two dogs wagged their tails, and the big white goose came running with its wings to welcome her home.

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, do you want to eat moon cakes? Ah Yao smiled and said, the dog and the big white goose seemed to understand, and made a dissatisfied sound.

"Wang!"

"Gah!"

Ah Yao gently kicked the dog with her foot: "Don't make trouble, you're busy." She brought the lotus leaf porcelain plate, put the fruit in the basket on the porcelain plate, pomegranate grapes, orange taro and a handful of chestnuts, golden cinnamon floated away from the branches, swirling down on the cyan porcelain plate, the golden osmanthus was dotted with half of the broken pomegranate seeds to reveal the red crystal inside the pomegranate seeds, and the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, she subconsciously raised her head, this osmanthus tree also reached the harvest season.

Spread a piece of cloth on the ground, use a bamboo pole to knock down the osmanthus on the branches, like a naughty boy sitting on the branches and sprinkle gold powder, one after another, the fragrance of osmanthus is stained all over the body. Shake with a dustpan, filter the dust and stalks, wash it with clean water and mix in salt, spread it flat on a bamboo sieve and dry.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, she began to prepare dinner tonight, even though there was only one person who passed, she had to eat well so that Mochizuki and Bird's Nest would not worry.

In the autumn of this year, I heard that the harvest was bumper in various places, and the price of new rice and glutinous rice on the market did not rise, but because of the large supply, the price dropped slightly.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the crabs are on the market, and at this time, the female crab crab roe is full, and it is a good time to try it, how can you miss it!

But the crab is cold, and she can't eat much alone, so with a small steamer, she can just fit a crab. Put a piece of ginger in the belly of the crab and steam it in the pot to highlight its deliciousness.

Then there is a glutinous rice steamed pork ribs, there is meat and rice, the portion is also a small steamer, fry a lotus pond moonlight to meet the scene, and the sweet soup after the meal is osmanthus sugar taro.

The good taro is a small one, about the same size as the rice balls, the good taro is soft and not sticky to the teeth, it is more refreshing than the rice balls, and there is a hint of sweetness by nature, A-Yao doesn't like to eat taro very much, either powdery or hard, but the taro is just right.

Peel off the skin of the taro soil to reveal the white and fat flesh, and cut it into hob pieces. Add a spoonful of alkaline noodles to the water and cook together, which will make the taro turn red, and the brown sugar in the other pot will melt in the water and boil to become a pot of brown sugar water, pour in the taro pieces and wait until the chopsticks poke it to feel soft, pour it into the pot with the lotus root flour water that has been adjusted, the sugar water will be clear to thick, and finally add the osmanthus sauce to complete.

When she was ready for dinner, before the sun went down, she turned over the osmanthus flowers on the bamboo sieve, and estimated that it would take a night to dry and make osmanthus sauce and sugar osmanthus.

The door is always open, every household is cooking one after another, children are playing with lanterns, A-Yao looks at the children outside the door, and mutters: "While it's still dark...... Shall I make a lantern?"

If you think of it, you can do it.

She doesn't know how to start with the paper lantern she wants, but the grapefruit lantern is very easy to make, like making Chuanbei stewed pears, first cut a lid for the grapefruit, cut four knives from top to bottom, the bamboo spoon is inserted into one of the knives to easily separate the peel, the flesh will be eaten later, the bottom of the grapefruit is put into a small board and a candle, and the top grapefruit peel that is stretched out is re-connected on both sides with a bamboo skewer, so as not to let the skewer protrude from the peel and prick the hand.

The contour of the moon rabbit is carved on all sides of the grapefruit peel, the lid is closed, and the candle is lit, and the light shines through the gap and the outline of the jade rabbit.

The grapefruit lantern is finished, and the bamboo skewers exposed in the gap are tied with colorful strings, gathered at the top and twisted into a knot, and finally tied to a straight bamboo pole, which can be carried away.

The sunset was gorgeous, and the full moon quietly appeared on the eastern branches, slowly climbing up.

Ah Yao went back to the house and lit the lamp, put the grapefruit lantern on the stone table, and brought out the dinner.

The blue crab in the steamer turned into a red crab, she cut the crab legs and crab claws, removed the crab cover, peeled off the crab cover and the crab roe almost overflowed, the crab roe was clear and yellow, and A-Yao immediately salivated down, cleared the gills, crab heart and crab stomach on both sides, scooped a small spoon of Zhejiang vinegar and poured it on the crab roe, which was more fresh while relieving greasy.

After eating the crab roe, she broke the crab body, and the wisps of white crab meat burst out, which was sweet and delicious.

After eating the sugar taro, the dog gnawed on the ribs, the big white goose ate the bibimbap, and the last trace of afterglow dispersed into the clouds, only the moon in the sky was bright and clean, and the lanterns hanging high everywhere in the world were not lonely.

Ah Yao looked up at the full moon and hummed softly:

“…… People have joys and sorrows, the moon is cloudy and sunny, this matter is difficult to complete, I hope that people will last a long time, thousands of miles together. ”

Fuhai.

Qu Yunhe made a table of good dishes, Mochizuki prayed for blessings to the moon, and the table offered a stick of fragrance, three plates of fruits and vegetables, apples, grapefruit, taro and powdered arrowroot, and a plate of three mooncakes with lotus paste.

I hope the bird's nest and A-Yao are all right.

After she finished worshipping the moon, she smiled at Qu Yunhe and sat down to eat.

"You set off the day after tomorrow, I see that you still have a few more sets of clothes, the capital is not as good as Fuhai, and it is easy to catch a cold in the morning and evening in autumn. After Qu Yunhe finished speaking, he stopped talking.

"What else?" Mochizuki blinked.

Qu Yunhe sighed: "Come back early, I miss you very much." ”

She burst out laughing: "I didn't even set off, you just want me to come back." ”

Before she finished her words, Qu Yunhe hugged her, Mochizuki crashed into his arms, counted the heartbeat under his chest, and only heard him say: "I could bear it before, but we have been separated for too long, and I have become numb, and even the blood flowing in my body seems to be cold." Because when you return to me, like a treasure lost and regained, like spring returning to the earth, and peach blossoms coming, how can I endure the loneliness of gaining and regaining? This feeling is too uncomfortable. ”

Mochizuki hugged Qu Yunhe, "Me too." But A-Yao's and courtesy can't be missed, I've already promised her. Her forehead pressed against Qu Yunhe's forehead, "I promise you, I'll come back after the ceremony." ”

……

In the middle of the moon, the teapot boiling water on the small red clay stove gurgles, the moon cakes are at hand, and the candles in the grapefruit lanterns are half burned. The dog and the big white goose returned to their own territory to doze off, and A-Yao didn't know what she was going to do when she sat in the yard.

The little dolls outside the door were energetic and still playing, three or two dolls built a simple stove with bricks, and below were a few candles, on which were padded with banana leaves, on which were placed small taro and home-cooked snails.

There was movement by the wall.

She looked up, and someone climbed the wall without going through the gate.

"A-Yao, it turns out that you are still here, the moonlight is so beautiful today. Pei Shuo stepped over the wall with one foot, hung half of his body on the wall, looked down at A-Yao's black line, sneered, flipped off the wall, and landed steadily: "I sneaked out, look, I brought you Dongshan oranges, let's eat them together!"

Ah Yao suddenly laughed: "Okay, I still have grapefruit here." ”
