"Okay, everything is in the original place in the kitchen, you go first, I'll come right away. Shen Hui rubbed her eyes and said.

Wang Aihong found mung beans and red beans and took them home to cook.

When she washed her face and came out, Sister-in-law Qi and the others had already quickly reconciled the noodles, the winter melon and sweet potatoes were also steamed in the pot, and Sister-in-law Lin was washing the hawthorn fruit in the basin.

Shen Hui scratched her head, as if she hadn't bought hawthorn?

"Sister-in-law, where did you get the hawthorn?"

"Didn't we go to Xishui Village yesterday? We saw that several families had planted hawthorn, thinking that the fruit filling was not kind enough to use bananas all the time, wouldn't the cost be high?

Shen Hui nodded, "Okay, I'm still thinking that we won't make bananas for the time being, and we will go to the city to buy them and make them, since that's the case, then don't do it, just use hawthorn!"

Thinking about her, she said again: "Sister-in-law, this hawthorn also has to be steamed, there are not enough pots!"

Sister-in-law Lin smiled: "Don't worry, I'll go to your sister-in-law's house to steam it later." ”

She suddenly said: "By the way, we also bought a few early-maturing pumpkins, I thought, if the sweet potatoes are not enough, you can get the pumpkins too, the pumpkins are also sweet, and they are cheaper, and it is good to put them together with hawthorn." ”

Shen Hui frowned, since they were acting together, they should discuss it, but they bought whatever they wanted, this kind of thing can't be used to, but now is not a good time to say this.

Therefore, Shen Hui nodded, "Well, let's see when the time comes." ”

As he was talking, two soldiers walked in with a few things that they didn't know what they were, and when they saw Shen Hui they asked, "Is Company Commander Gu here?"

Shen Huigang nodded, and Gu Zhengqin in the room heard a voice coming out, "You guys are here." Where's the stuff?"

The two soldiers said that the things in their hands showed up, and Shen Hui realized that it was actually an iron plate on the oven, and she had completely forgotten about it!

The baking tray is professionally made, and a handle is welded on the outside side to make it easy to take the baking tray out of the oven. The only bad thing is that the handle is also iron, and when the time comes to take it out, you have to put cotton gloves on it, otherwise you can bake your hands, but if you think about it carefully, there seems to be nothing that can not be hot in the case of high temperatures, so she will not be entangled.

"What did you think of in the oven?" Shen Hui took out two pieces of moon cakes and stuffed them into the hands of the two soldiers, and asked Gu Zhengqin while turning around.

"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Gu Zhengqin motioned for them to take it, and the two soldiers were very polite.

Shen Hui waved her hand, "Today the family is busy, I won't leave you to eat, come to my sister-in-law another day to get moon cakes!"

After the two soldiers left, Gu Zhengqin explained: "I heard the elder say that people in the capital love to eat roast duck, and he also said the oven by the way, so I remembered it." ”

Shen Hui glanced at him with a smile, "Well done, what mooncakes do you want to eat, I'll make them for you?"

Gu Zhengqin shook his head, "You guys are busy, I'll go to the cafeteria to eat! Do I need to bring you food?"

"I'll ask them to go!"

After a while, he came out of the kitchen, "No need, sister-in-law Qi said that we can do something by ourselves later, and you can leave quickly." ”

Sending Gu Zhengqin away, there was a burst of aroma in front of the stove with increased firepower, and when he lifted the lid of the pot, he saw that the winter melon had become crystal clear, and then looked at the other side, the sweet potato was almost ripe.

Wang Aihong happened to come too, and Shen Hui called a few people together and said: "Our moon cakes have a total of seven kinds, namely mung bean paste, red bean paste, ham, hawthorn, pickles, egg yolks, and black sesame. I thought about it, there are five of us, and we have to divide the work in advance, so as not to delay things in a hurry. ”

"Okay, Shen Hui, you can say whatever you think. Sister-in-law Wang said with a smile.

Others are okay too.

"Since everyone said yes, then I'll tell you what I think. My knife skills are fast, I will cut pickles and ham, sister-in-law Wang is still grinding sesame seeds like yesterday, we will help each other if we finish it first, peeling the salted egg yolk is also the two of us, let's not do too much on the first day of salted egg yolk. ”

"Mung bean paste, red bean paste, as well as winter melon, sweet potato, hawthorn these crushed into a puree will be handed over to Sister-in-law Qi and the three of you, when it is time to make moon cakes, Sister-in-law Qi and I will make the filling, we have experience, you will roll the dough and wrap the filling to set the shape, what do you think?"

Everyone nodded, and Sister-in-law Qi said again: "Your knife skills are fast, but you can't stand a lot of things, and mashing it is easier than you think, or I'll help you cut pickles and meat, right?"

Shen Hui smiled and shook her head, "The amount of pickles and meat is small, and no matter how easy the winter melon is mashed, it can't bear to use a lot of weight! Not to mention that you still have to cook it, don't worry, I'm enough for one person!"

Although it is a ham mooncake, the ham in it only accounts for a small part, as long as the ham can be eaten.

"Okay, since everyone has no opinions, let's start work!" Shen Hui clapped her hands.

Divide the work, the next thing is simple, Shen Hui only needs to cut her pickles and meat, Sister-in-law Wang grinds sesame seeds, don't look at grinding sesame seeds It seems to be simpler, Shen Hui cut half a pot of pickles and bacon, and her sesame seeds are only half a basin, Shen Hui asked her to continue, and she went to peel the salted egg yolk, as for the egg white, I haven't thought about how to deal with it yet, so I put it aside.

When Shen Hui got it done, the three sisters-in-law Qi over there also made six large pots of various sand and mud.

The next thing is to make moon cakes, according to the division of labor, Shen Hui and Sister-in-law Qi adjust the filling, and after the adjustment, they quickly knead into a ball, where Sister-in-law Lin and Wang Aihong quickly kneaded and rolled the skin, and Sister-in-law Wang picked up the stuffing and wrapped it into a round ball and put it into the corresponding mold to press out the pattern and words, and then put it on the iron plate that was washed and dried.

Shen Hui stopped suddenly, "You guys do it first, I have to go and preheat the stove first!"

Fortunately, the firewood was ready-made, and in the morning, many soldiers sent a lot of firewood for the mooncakes, and they were piled up outside the courtyard.

Burning firewood, you can't keep it here all the time, Shen Hui found some big firewood and filled it in and let it burn slowly, so she went back to kneading the stuffing.

Several people cooperated tacitly, and when all the iron plates were filled, several people stopped, sprinkled water on the moon cake embryo and put it in the oven with cotton gloves.

There are several bumps on the walls of the oven, just place the plate on the bumps.

Five minutes later, Shen Hui, sister-in-law Qi, and sister-in-law Wang stopped and opened the furnace door, endured the heat wave that almost made people unable to breathe, and brought out the iron plate one by one, brushed a layer of egg liquid on the surface and put it back, and at the same time made the fire a little smaller, and it could be baked in fifteen minutes.

Fifteen minutes later, the furnace door opened, golden loomed under the white fog, everyone was not afraid of the heat, put cotton gloves on the iron plate to take out, and sure enough, they saw plates of golden moon cakes.
