Grandma Du instructed her sister-in-law to adjust the stuffing, Du Niang instructed the second sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law to make the dough hot, and when the white dough turned into a small sugar-colored dough the size of a baby's fist, Grandma Du and a few people wrapped out a flowerless bun, stuffed the buns into the mold, flattened them hard, and then knocked them on the table, and the moon cakes printed with 'flowers and moons', 'five kernels' or five-petal plum blossoms came out.

Du Xiaoxi is small, and he is decisively disliked when he gets up to print the mold, and finally strives to fight for it again, and strives for a job of sprinkling noodles into the mold, according to Du Niang, this link is very, very important.

Rows of mooncakes were neatly placed on the panel, and finally Grandma Du brushed a layer of eggs with a small brush.

Succeed with flying colors!

The Du family is not short of money now, and the moon cakes are much more than in previous years. The family eats during the holidays, keeps the ones that are eaten slowly, and the gifts given to the in-laws, after the full count, Grandma Du simply decided to make 300.

Three hundred sounds like a lot, and the relatives have to consume fifty or sixty of them, and the Du family eats a few pieces each, and it is gone in a blink of an eye. There are many people in the village, and there are quite a few of them at once.

Waiting for the Du family's moon cakes to dry, the moon cakes from the two households in front of them were just baked.

Du Xiaoxi smelled the smell and sent away the fragrant mooncakes, waiting for his own to bake them quickly.

Uncle Du Jiu's oven is one person high, and the large furnace made of blue bricks is more than one meter wide, three meters long, and two meters high. Eighteen iron plates can bake hundreds of mooncakes at once.

Fourth Brother Du took Du Wu and the two of them to burn the fire behind the oven, one added firewood and the other hummed and pulled the old bellows, and when the two of them couldn't move their arms sorely, they were finally taken over by the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law, Du Jiu's eldest son, Du Jiaye, lifted a lid and looked at it, and said to Grandma Du with a smile: "Aunt Gaoshan, your mooncakes are ready!" ”

The heavy moon cakes were carried home, Du Niang brought two white porcelain plates, and Grandma Du picked up some moon cakes of various patterns and arranged them in the shape of a small tower rising step by step.

Grandma Du put one of the plates on the offering table, took everyone to worship, and the other plate was taken to the ancestral hall by Daddy Du with his eldest son, waiting for Daddy Du to come back, the moon cakes also cooled, and Du Xiaoxi finally ate his own moon cakes.

Well, it's a quarter of a mooncake.

Du Qi, Du Ba, Du Jiu, and the three elder brothers took Du Xiaohu, a nephew, and the five of them sat together.

Du Xiaoxi looked around next to each other, and the others were all big moon cakes, only their own smallest.

What a bully!

The five of them set off in unison.

The crispy moon cake was broken into pieces in a blink of an eye.

"Ahh I've got a piece of rock candy in this! Du Qi shouted in surprise.

"I found a raisin!" Du Jiu did not lag behind at all.

"Hehe, my piece of rock candy is big, right?" Du Bayang was proud!

"It's all peanuts, I don't like peanuts!" Du Xiaohu pursed his mouth, his eyes aimed at the large piece of rock candy that his eighth uncle was showing off.

When Du Ba saw it, he decisively threw it into his mouth, and smashed it a few times.

Du Xiaoxi saw that his brothers were fruitful in their treasure hunting, and hurriedly increased their strength, and a quarter of the moon cakes, removing the thick crispy skin, only found two poor raisins and a small Xiaoice candy.

Without waiting for Du Xiaoxi to pout, Du Niang put the rock sugar and raisins found from her moon cakes in front of Du Xiaoxi, and the small treasures in the moon cakes of Grandma Du and sister-in-law were also placed in front of several little brothers and nephews.

Breaking the big moon cakes into small pieces, finding out all kinds of delicious treasures in them to show off, and then eating the baby into the stomach in the envious eyes of others is the favorite way for children to eat moon cakes, and it is also the way for adults to spoil children.

Du Xiaoxi squinted his eyes and held the rock candy that was sweet to his heart, happy to think about it, why is there no hawthorn strips? How beautiful the red, red, green and green are! In my previous life, my own hawthorn strips sold very well on August 15th! Could it be that the delicious hawthorn strips are waiting for me Du Xiaoxi to 'invent'?

Well, when we are older, we will be able to invent hawthorn strips in the name of the master.

……

One of the major features of Shanshui County's moon cakes is one word: "Dry!" ”

There is less oil on the outer skin, and the filling inside is mostly dried fruits, and the mooncakes are very crispy and fragrant when they are just baked, and they are also the best time to eat. After a long time, it will not become as soft as the moon cakes in the supermarket, sweet and greasy, and I have no appetite at all.

Although it is not as delicious as when it was first made after a few months, it is definitely a delicacy that every child always thinks about in this ancient era when you can rarely eat sweets full of ingredients. Take out a few occasionally, and share them as a family, which will not feel sweet at all, but indescribably delicious.

On August 14, the Liu family sent more than a dozen kinds of small moon cakes with exquisite work and different tastes, and the Du family returned the gift of the big moon cakes made by themselves and took out ten big red pomegranates knotted in the yard.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Du family had a reunion dinner, told their expectations for next year to the round and chubby moon, and went back to sleep.

August 16 back to my parents' home.

When others were eating fragrant and spicy food, Du Xiaoxi was taken by Daddy Du to visit the master in Shanshui Temple. Because the master spoke, she must go over today.

Since recognizing a master, Du Xiaoxi feels that he has lost a lot!

On the fifteenth day of the new year, I accompanied me to relieve boredom, send food and drink during the New Year's holidays, and from time to time I had to suffer from nervous review of today's scientific and cultural knowledge, which was really enough!

Master Xile has been nesting in the mountain gaga of Shanshui County for more than two years, not only has he been forgotten, but because he has successfully fulfilled the various wishes of the mountain people from time to time, his name in Shanshui County is better than one day. Occasionally, the powerful families of Kyoto would come all the way to meet them, and many of the passing boats would stop for a day or two in the name of Master Kiraku. In short, Master Xile has become the leader among the monks in Shanshui County.

Grandma Du attaches great importance to her granddaughter, a high monk and master, so Du Xiaoxi is the fifteenth day of the first month, and a visit to the mountain during the New Year and the festival is absolutely indispensable.

When Daddy Du climbed up to the Shanshui Temple with his daughter on his shy stomach, and climbed to the valley behind the mountain with a hum, he pushed open the door and saw that the prospective son-in-law was running around the yard with a humming face, and Daddy Du said with an incomprehensible face: "Son-in-law, what are you doing?" ”

Liu Yao has been very unhappy lately.

Since his eighth brother-in-law showed him what the true colors of a bear child are at home, his grandmother and father are rushing to establish a correct outlook on life for him.

The pink and cute little girls have become shoddy little girls, the delicate and beautiful clothes have become gray and gray robes, and even the dear sisters have been detained away from themselves, and these are just that, my father pulls him to practice walking every day, and he is all pulled to the egg! It hurts!

Liu Yao had a deep memory of his chubby father-in-law, so he stopped and stepped forward to say hello: "Uncle Du is here, the master said that I want to exercise and exercise, Xiaotu is running." ”

Daddy Du understands very well.

"Good running! The master also said that Uncle is fat, let Uncle run to lose weight! But Uncle is hopeless, you keep running! ”

Daddy Du greeted Tranquility, who was sitting on the swing in the yard, and carried his daughter into the house, leaving Liu Yao to look at it with blank eyes.

"Hurry up and run!"

A cold reprimand came, and Liu Xiaotu turned his head to look at the tranquility who was staring at him with a straight face, and responded with a shuddering head and a dejected voice.

Meida ate the tranquility of the mooncakes sent by her cheap father all the way, pinched the white handkerchief and wiped the crumbs on her mouth, and walked towards the house.

There are so many fools, he's going to check them out!
