The round is full of equal colors, and the clouds are thousands of miles bright;

It's the Mid-Autumn Festival again, but the family can't get together, the father is not there, the little sister is still in the field, and there are only Wang Dong and her mother Liu Xia at home. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Fortunately, Li Na and Gao Yuanyuan are also there, and they are also a lot more lively. Especially Gao Yuanyuan, chirping, running before and after, although he didn't help, he even helped, but he brought a lot of laughter.

.? Originally, Gao Yuanyuan was going to go to the town to buy a few catties of good moon cakes, but Liu Xia refused.

Anyway, it's okay to be at home, so it's better to make a few boxes of mooncakes by yourself. When he was a chef in the past, Wang Dong also learned how to make moon cakes, bread, fried buns, fried dough sticks and other pasta dishes.

.“ Dongzi, will you do it, don't do it and can't swallow it." When Li Na heard Wang Dong say that she wanted to make moon cakes by herself, she laughed and teased.

.“ Hmph, what can't you do with your husband, just moon cakes, can you stump me"? Wang Dong snorted angrily, he dared to look down on me.

.“ Shameless, shameless, who are you husband"! Li Na's face turned red when she brushed it, this dead Wang Dong didn't look at the occasion, and there was no door on his mouth.

.“ Hee-hee, Dongzi, you teach me to make moon cakes, okay". Gao Yuanyuan was watching TV in the living room alone, feeling so bored, and when he heard that Wang Dong was going to make moon cakes, the more he came over, he joined in the fun.

Mother Liu Xia didn't object, let a few people mess around, turned around to the kitchen, and prepared the evening dinner.

.“ If you want to help, well, let's get the materials ready." Wang Dong first took out the oil, salt, sugar, egg yolk, jam, bean paste, edible alkali, and flour, and then put the oil, syrup, alkaline water and salt in a container, and heated it in the microwave for dozens of seconds until the syrup became thin.

.“ Round, you sift in flour, mix well with a rubber knife, and the mooncake skin is as soft as an earlobe."

.“ Nana, go get our little oven out there."

Then Wang Dong covered the dough with plastic wrap and left it at room temperature for a while.

Subsequently, Wang Dong soaked the salted egg yolk in wine for ten minutes to remove the fish, then put the egg yolk in a baking dish, and bake it directly without preheating the oven for 7 minutes.

When the egg yolk was cool, Wang Dong began to divide the mooncake crust. This moon cake crust is also proportional, otherwise, if you make a big one, a small one, a little uneven, even if it is delicious, it looks very awkward.

It is to start weighing with Wang Dong, making large moon cakes, and dividing the moon cake crust into 8 parts, each serving of 40 grams. For small moon cakes, 15 grams per serving, a total of 20 servings.

And the moon cake filling also needs to be proportional. After Wang Dong finished dividing the moon cake crust, he began to divide the moon cake filling. For large moon cakes, divide the moon cake filling into 8 parts, 110 grams per portion, and wrap the egg yolk and rub it round; For small moon cakes, 30 grams per portion, a total of 20 servings, wrap half an egg yolk respectively, and rub it round.

.“ I'm coming, I'm coming". Seeing that Wang Dong was familiar with the car, Gao Yuanyuan's eyes were hot when he watched from the side, so he stretched out a pair of chubby little hands and began to rub them round.

.“ I'm coming, I'm coming." Li Na's eyes also lit up, but she didn't expect that this moon cake was still quite fun.

.“ That's okay, you see, I'll do it while talking, let's start wrapping moon cakes, first put a moon cake crust in the palm of your hand, press it flat with both hands, put a moon cake filling on it, gently push the moon cake filling with one hand, and gently push the moon cake crust with the palm of the other hand, so that the moon cake crust slowly unfolds until the moon cake filling is all wrapped, pay attention to it, this skill is very important, you can ensure that the skin and filling are not separated after the moon cake is baked, and finally sprinkle a little dry flour into the moon cake model, shake well, and pour out the excess flour. Wang Dong demonstrated while doing it, and taught very carefully.

.“ In addition, the wrapped moon cake skin is also gently smeared with a layer of dry flour, put the moon cake ball into the model, gently flatten, the force should be even, and then knock it up and down, left and right, and you can easily remove the mold." Wang Dong also emphasized several key points.

.“ Hee-hee, it's really funny." Gao Yuanyuan smiled, even if his face was smeared with white fingerprints, he didn't care. Li Na too, with several places of flour sticking to her delicate little face.

.“ Dongzi, take a look, right, okay." Li Na is skillful, and quickly made one, although the appearance is a little ugly and not round, but it looks decent.

.“ En, yes, it's better to fix the edges." For his girlfriend, of course, Wang Dong did not hesitate to praise him.

.“ Mine, mine". Gao Yuanyuan then finished one, but it seems that there is too much stuffing, and it is a little bulging.

.“ It's like that, it's a little bit of a drum and a lot of stuffing." Wang Dong pointed out the problems that arose one by one.

.“ Hey, the next one will definitely be better". Gao Yuanyuan was very confident, and soon began to pack the second one. However, Li Na's white little hands are very dexterous, and at this moment, the second one has been wrapped, and it looks better than the first. With two big beauties in the bag, Wang Dong also began to bake moon cakes.

Wang Dong first preheated the oven to 350F, then lightly sprayed a layer of water on the surface of the mooncakes, and put them in the top layer of the oven to bake for five minutes. When the time is up, remove the mooncakes, brush with the egg yolk liquid, and reduce the oven to 300F at the same time.

Bake the mooncakes in the oven for another seven minutes, remove and brush the egg yolk again, and bake for another five minutes until golden brown.

Soon, Wang Dong baked a lot of moon cakes. Golden yellow, it also exudes an attractive fragrance. However, Wang Dong then took out the bean paste, nuts, preserved fruit pulp, etc., and prepared to make other flavors of moon cakes, after all, a flavor of moon cakes, no matter how delicious they are, they will be tired of eating, change the taste, and you can eat a few more pieces.

.“ Ah, why is there so little mooncake crust, Yuanyuan, you go and make a little, I'll make the stuffing here." Li Na and the two of them can be said to be interested, and when they saw that there were not many mooncake crusts and fillings, the more they began to prepare.

.“ Hey". Wang Dong wanted to remind two sentences, but seeing the high emotions of the two, he was embarrassed to disturb, it is rare for the two of them to have such strong enthusiasm.

.“ Hey, forget it, it's a big deal to give it to the big guy to eat." Wang Dong shook his head, walked and spoke, let the two girls get it, even if they can't eat it, they can take it to the children in the village to eat, anyway, it won't be wasted.

Soon, Wang Dong left, anyway, the two girls would already do it. My mother was busy in the kitchen alone, so Wang Dong went over to take over.

.“ Mom, go and rest for a while, I'll do it." Seeing that his mother had washed the vegetables, killed the fish, and chopped the chickens, Wang Dong began to cook.

Although it was only six o'clock, there was already a trace of black shadow, and the round moon also came out.

Wang Dong first stewed grass carp, crucian carp, spicy chicken, and other time-consuming dishes before starting to make green vegetables.

.“ Oh, no, Yuanyuan". Li Na suddenly exclaimed, and Gao Yuanyuan was startled.

.“ What's the matter, Sister Nana, well, what are you yelling about". Gao Yuanyuan was very dissatisfied, because of Li Na's loud shouting, and as a result, the mooncake bun broke the skin.

.“ Hey, Yuanyuan, look at how many mooncakes we've wrapped." Li Na panicked and pointed to the mooncakes on the table in front of her, feeling a little embarrassed.

.“ Ah, how can there be so many". Gao Yuanyuan turned around and took a look, yes, really, behind this, I'm afraid there are hundreds of mooncakes.

.“ There are so many mooncakes, we can't finish them!" Li Na counted carefully, good guy, one hundred and twenty, now there are four people in the family, one thirty, ha, it's terrifying!

.“ I won't eat that much, I'll get fat." Gao Yuanyuan said that he ate up to three.

.“ Don't worry, Yuanyuan, I'll talk to Dongzi later, he must have a way." Li Na thought of Wang Dong's eyes when he left just now, and she understood that Wang Dong had already guessed this situation. (To be continued.) )
