(Yes, the update is really abnormal these days, and I apologize!) Starting tomorrow, try your best to make up for it! ）

Jinxiu knew that it was a little difficult for her to get along with the cheap girl in some aspects, so she had to listen to her if she didn't want to be verbose.

Honestly lived in the Luo Mansion for two days, listening to the girls around me say that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and the housekeeper Han's mother and Wang's mother also came to ask about the Mid-Autumn Festival.

I also learned that there were not many varieties of moon cakes sold in the dim sum shop in Zhoucheng, and they were all only sweet fillings, so Jinxiu spent two hours drawing a few tool patterns, handed them to Baoliang to do, and then wrote a list for Han's mother to buy all kinds of ingredients and prepare to make moon cakes for herself.

Bao Liang was originally Luo Zhen's long-term follower, and Han's mother was also a splendid person, and they were all trustworthy.

Mrs. Luo brought thirty or forty servants from the capital, twelve followed to Dongshan Village, most of them stayed in the state city of Luo's house, Zheng assigned her cronies Wang Dayong and his wife to take care of the internal and external affairs of the Luo house, there is Baoliang in the outer courtyard, Wang Dayong can not monopolize the power, Wang's mother is very popular with the servants in the inner courtyard, Jinxiu has only married in a short time, there are not too many requirements, but the girls still touched a few soft nails in the kitchen and shopping, the elders are still in the Jinxiu is not good to move, and as soon as they leave the state city, She released Mother Han beside her and managed the affairs of the inner courtyard with Mother Wang.

Although it is a hasty marriage, Jinxiu also has eight wedding girls and three families to accompany the room, Xiangtao followed her in Dongshan Village, originally Jinyu and Jinyun wanted to give Xiangxing Xiangmei to Jinxiu, and then Xie Xiaoyu came, and gave the ten girls who had been trained for a month or two to Guan Zhai, and then selected Xiangling, Xiangzhi, and Xiangcha, and Xiangtao as a big girl who was close to and took care of the house. The remaining four little girls were placed outside the house to listen to the call, and the three families of the towing family who were bought by Xie's father and the original owner migrated to another country and were sold on the spot also gave the house together, as the companion room of the splendid and came to the Luo family, among which Han Baofu and his wife did stewardship in the original owner's house, and the splendid was appointed, Han Baofu was in the outer courtyard, and the two and a half sons entered the dowry shop to do things. Han's mother served as the steward of the inner hospital. There is also a mother Zhao and a mother Feng, Zhao's mother does a good job of needlework, and Mother Feng takes care of the small kitchen and other chores in her yard. Mrs. Luo gave the two maids and two mothers-in-law of Jinxiu, Luo Zhen had already become wicked people first, and did not let them enter the house, but only stayed in the yard to do some sprinkling or preaching.

Bao Liang took the pattern of the splendid painting and went out to find the craftsman. The next day, I brought back those tools, but Han's mother didn't have enough ingredients. It's not that she doesn't care, some things don't have to be sold.

It doesn't matter if it's splendid, in fact, the purchase list is just a disguise, and the ingredients needed are ready-made.

Take the girls to work for a few days. Splendid mooncakes are freshly baked the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Most of the dim sum in the dim sum shop in Chizhou City is boiled, steamed, baked, fried and fried, and there are very few fried and fried because they are reluctant to use oil. Even some of the sweets and fruits are very good in texture and taste, but the appearance is not very outstanding. Therefore, when the mooncakes made by Jinxiu in a simple oven appeared, the delicious and attractive smell and the beautiful appearance of the golden butter and delicate pattern like a small moon immediately won everyone's love.

The preparation time is not enough, and only three or five flavors of moon cakes can be made, which has already made the girls who have tasted the moon cakes extremely happy, and two of the fresh and salty moon cakes with a slightly sweet taste are even more amazing and popular!

There are not many moon cakes, and all the servants in the Luo Mansion will each give two each, and then pack twenty food boxes for gifts.

Luo Mansion is the residence of the Marquis of Baoding in Chizhou City, and there are the female dependents of the Chengguo Mansion just arrived, approaching the festival, all parties sent over the Mid-Autumn Festival gifts a lot, the return gift of the matter of Baoliang and the stewards to Zhang Luo, if there is a need for the owner to pay special attention to the people, they will be detailed, and make a list of gifts for the young lady to see, Jinxiu looked at the gift list sent by either a hundred years of ginseng or the island's best blood swallow, deer antler, cordyceps, can't help but secretly stumble: Is this really an ordinary festival? Why does it look like bribing corrupt officials?

Look at the gift list of their own gifts, but also generous and decent, and Baoliang on the side, saying that these are people who often come and go in Beijing, Jinxiu no longer said anything, and ordered to add a box of home-made moon cakes to the gift list of these "often frequented" people, this kind of moon cakes can not be bought outside, eat sure you still want to eat!

Luo Zhai moon cakes as a fresh element on this year's gift list, sent twenty families, sixteen in each box, Fangshi Town, Guangxingfu County, sent eight boxes all the way over, Mrs. Luo's Zheng They can only be regarded as one, and the fifty guards brought by Luo Fang should live in Fangshi Town, and the number of moon cakes is too small, so there is no share of them.

On the same day, Xie Xiaoyu pulled Jinyu Jinyun and ran over and asked Jinxiu how to make this moon cake? The three little girls thought that they could make it on the spot, so they had to pull Jinxiu to teach them, and then make hundreds of it, Jinyu Jinyun likes to eat, Xie Xiaoyu loves to eat, and wants to give it away to earn face.

Jinxiu smiled and told them: If you want to eat delicious mooncakes, you have to wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival next year, although it is okay to make it freshly, but it is definitely not delicious, because it takes a lot of time just to prepare those fillings!

Chen Liu, who sent moon cakes to Dongshan Village, returned to the state city at night, and the next day was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and hurriedly asked Han's mother to tell the young lady early in the morning: The old lady said that the Chizhou moon cakes are really delicious, and the girls like them all! Is it a mistake? The second master of the Jia family just sends a box alone, there are so many old ladies and eldest ladies and girls, how can a box of moon cakes be enough? Hurry up and send a few more boxes! There is also a message from the eldest lady to the young lady: The old lady of Zhengfu doesn't like to eat desserts, and the salty mooncakes must be very much to his liking, please send a few more boxes to the Zhengfu lady!

Jinxiu just got up, sat in front of the dresser and asked Xiangling to comb her hair, while listening to Han's mother reply, and waited for her to finish speaking, before she pulled up a smile:

"Mom knows, it takes a lot of effort and effort to make that moon cake, so I made hundreds of them and sent them out, even our Hou Ye only left him four, if you can say that the Hou Ye will not go back to the house for the holiday, then send these four to the old lady!"

Han's mother said: "This can't be helped! The young lady is charitable, and the slaves and maids all have a share, how can they not leave a piece of moon cake for the Hou Ye? Bao Liang said that Hou Ye may rush back, and whether Hou Ye returns or not, he has to leave it to him! The old lady and the eldest lady didn't know the exquisiteness and ingenuity of making this cake, they just thought that they could make thousands of hundreds, but Wang's mother saw it with her own eyes, and the twenty boxes of moon cakes were delivered by Steward Wang, and they all knew whether there were any more at home! Don't worry, young lady, let's just report the truth, the old lady and the eldest lady are not confused, you can understand after listening! ”

"That's all there is to it."

Because there is news that Luo Zhen will come back, Jinxiu didn't go anywhere, the Guan Mansion sent people over from time to time to ask, until the lights of ten thousand homes fell at dusk, Luo Zhen has not returned, and the Tian family, who does not approve of calling his daughter back to her mother's house on the day of the festival, can't hold her breath, today Fang Da Niu and Er Niu have come to the Guan House, everyone is together, and they can't let their daughter guard the Luo House alone, so they finally let go and let Er Niu go over to take the splendid back.
