Chapter 103 Mooncakes
Ji Songxian put down the hoe, patted the soil on his hands and stood up, walked to the ground, took the wet towel handed over to him, wiped his hands clean, and then took the folded note sent by the beam: "Who sent it?" ”
Huan Liang shook his head: "The concierge said that it was a child, and he named the girl by name, and the slave asked them several times and they didn't know, and they were afraid that something would be delayed, so they brought it to the girl to see." ”
"You're so daring." Ji Songxian smiled: "I'm not afraid that this paper is coated with medicine, in case you touch someone else's Tao, how can it be good." ”
This sentence frightened Liang Liang, and immediately wiped his hands fiercely: "The slave is really stupid, why did you take it at that time, the girl quickly threw it away." ”
Ji Songxian shook his head amusedly, only to feel that the girl around Liang was becoming more and more realistic, folded the note and looked at it a few times, almost laughing.
"What's going on?" Wu Shi was a little curious when he saw Ji Songxian laughing there alone, and he also threw down his work and came over to ask.
Ji Songxian pointed to the note, and said to the Wu family funny: "The person from the Cheng family sent it, told me that the Cheng Da Commander was taken by someone more than a thousand years later, and told me to guard against it, and said that he might be some kind of demon, and he couldn't say that it would be unfavorable to me, mother, let's take a look." ”
As he spoke, Ji Songxian handed the note to Wu, and Wu looked at it and laughed angrily: "The boy who has become a family is like this, what does he think?" Until now, he always wants to make trouble for us, and make such an unknown thing to provoke the relationship between you and Huaijin. ”
"Who knows." Ji Songxian smiled bitterly: "I look at him like a person in the future, think about it." Originally, this Cheng Da Gong had to be unlearned, he was a famous gentleman in Jinling City, and he was framed and pushed into the lake that time, and he almost had a fever when he was rescued, and then his temperament changed greatly, not only talented, but also able to make glass, and he could do business, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was possessed by something. ”
"Don't say it." Wu Shi was taken aback: "The more you talk, the more suspenseful it becomes, and it's scary." ”
After a while. Wu Shi came to his senses and said, "That's what you said. If he's okay, how can he know what others are doing? ”
The two of them talked for a while before parting, Wu went back to the room to explain the matter, and Ji Songxian went back to the house to continue to write a notebook.
Early the next morning. Ji Songxian went to say goodbye to Wu's. As soon as I entered the door, I listened to the Sun and Wang talking there. Ji Songxian went in and asked with a smile: "What did my sister-in-law say?" ”
Wang smiled: "Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, we don't discuss how to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”
"It's nothing more than a family eating in one place, and making some mooncakes. Speaking of which, this mooncake should also be made. Ji Songxian sat next to Wu Shi with a smile and spoke: "Sister-in-law, let's also tie a few lanterns, and hang them in front of the door when the time comes, in addition, I heard that His Majesty will have fun with the people this year, and you can go to the street to play all night in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and many people will put lotus lanterns on the Qixing Bridge next to Xi'an Gate." ”
"We'll go together then." Wang's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Ji Songxian pursed his lips and smiled: "I'm afraid I can't, I'm afraid the second brother will have to go with the second sister-in-law, I don't want to be a light bulb." ”
There is the word light bulb in the future tour written by Ji Songxian, and anyone who has read that book understands what it means, so Wang's face turned red and he took a sip of Ji Songxian: "You really have told you all about everything, I look at you I'm afraid that we will make a light bulb, I'm afraid that the commander and you have already made an appointment to play in the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”
Sun looked at the two people bickering on the side, and talked to Wu, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were happy to provoke there: "It's very true, I also heard Huanliang say that Sister Xian'er had a reunion dinner on the Mid-Autumn Festival night and wanted to play with Commander Cheng, and said that she was going to Guan Pu." ”
"By the way, why didn't I think about it." Wang's eyes were even brighter: "The Mid-Autumn Festival and the Lantern Festival have always been about fluttering these days, I remember that the year before last seemed to be three days in a row to ask people to flutter at will, this year since His Majesty wants to have fun with the people, it is inevitable to call people to flutter for three or four days in a row, to that day we will bring more things, we must have a good time." ”
Ji Songxian thought about Guan Pu, and his heart was greatly moved.
She grew so big and didn't have such a fun pass, the old lady didn't like that kind of gambling game when she was in the Rongwei Hou Mansion, she didn't dare to disobey the old lady, she could only endure it, and later married into the Chengguo Mansion, Cheng Ping'an didn't like women to gamble, she could only endure it, she could only listen to others talk about which person won how much during the festival, which person lost almost even took off his pants, but never participated in person.
Ji Songxian made up her mind, no matter what, she must have fun this year.
"I've already asked someone to prepare things, and on that day, I'll go out with my uncle." Sun replied with a smile, and then pushed Wu's: "Mother, you and your father should go together, Dad has always been the best at that, and I can't say how many good things I can win back for my mother." ”
Wu Shi also smiled and nodded: "You must go to go." ”
For a while, the four of them discussed how to have a reunion dinner earlier, hung up the lanterns after eating, and then went out to play as a family.
When he was almost done, Wu clapped his hands and said: "Sensei only thinks about fun, this son should also make moon cakes, and I will ask someone to find out the flower mold in a while, and our mother will make moon cakes in one place." ”
Wu Shi instructed to go down, and someone went to the warehouse to find the mold that was put away last year, Wu Shi asked someone to buy a lot of eggs and vegetable oil, only said that the matter of noodles was handed over to her, Sun said to adjust the filling, Wang said to pinch the moon cakes, and said that Tao Pap two baked moon cakes.
Ji Songxian listened to what they said and leaned over and asked, "What about me?" ”
"All you have to do is eat." Sun covered his mouth and smiled.
Ji Songxian was not happy when he heard it, and pressed Sun to twist her mouth: "What is this called, dare to love me as a foodie, you all share the work, but I can't do anything." ”
Wu pulled Ji Songxian away: "If you want to do it, I will give you some trivial work, such as baking noodles and stir-frying those dried fruits." ”
In this way, Ji Songxiancai is psychologically balanced.
Wu also did what he said. In the morning, I called a few daughters-in-law to divide the work and assign good work, and in the afternoon, I started to do it.
The people in the kitchen have already prepared many dried fruits such as walnut kernels and melon seeds, and the melon seeds are fried, so there is no need to fry them again, the walnut kernels need to be oiled a little, and in addition, the filling also needs to be mixed with noodles, but this noodles are not raw noodles, but the flour is put in the oven to bake it, and Ji Songxian took over these jobs.
When the noodles are baked, the walnuts are oiled. Then put the baked flour, walnut kernels, peanut kernels, sugar, green and red silk and other fillings into a large basin. Then start to mix with oil, mix and put it in one place to wait.
On the other side, Wu took the pasteur to mix the noodles with oil and eggs, divided the noodles into small balls and put them on the table, and Sun and Wang filled the filling into the dough and kneaded it. Ji Songxian then put the kneaded dough into the mold and pressed it firmly. First, gently snort the side of the mold on the table a few times. After that, turn it over and snort it violently, and a good Tuanhua mooncake will be you.
Dow puts the mooncakes on an iron plate and prepares them to bake.
In the afternoon, he also baked several plates of moon cakes, and Ji Songxian tasted it well. I also proposed to make some meat filling, egg filled moon cakes, and osmanthus filling, rose filling, bean paste filling and the like, and made a little of each.
To see that it was almost done, Ji Songxian was interested, and adjusted some jujube paste filling and jam filling by herself, she kneaded the dumplings and did not use special molds, but kneaded various shapes with her own hands, and put them on an iron plate to bake them herself, until everyone had eaten her moon cakes before they were baked.
Although the baked mooncakes were deformed in one way or another, Ji Songxian was very happy to see it, and picked some shapes that were not very good for his family to taste, and hid all the good shapes.
Just let the Wang family see it, and the damage made Ji Songxian's face red.
Wu Shi shook his head and sighed when he saw it: "The female is not left." Ji Yi became more and more worried.
Ji Songxian packed the moon cakes she made herself in a mahogany box and brought them back to the room, got up early the next morning and wrote a letter and put it under the box, and asked Liang Liang to carry the box to Jinyiwei to send it to Cheng Huaijin.
After going around the beam, Ji Songxian waited for a long time and didn't see the wind around the beam come back, and he couldn't let go of it in his heart.
waited until it was almost noon before Liang Liang came back, and put the food box on the table: "Girl, you are happy that those moon cakes were sent to become a commander, but when you look at the letter, you pull down your face, and your face has to be so long." ”
Around the beam and the line of words, Ji Songxian laughed uncontrollably.
The slave looked frightened, so he asked the commander if he had anything to say to the girl, and the commander told the slave to wait, and it was almost an hour, and the commander brought a plate, and a plate of moon cakes was also put in it, saying that he wanted to bring it back to the girl to taste, and there was also a letter. Before he finished speaking, Ji Songxian had already opened the box and saw a plate of crystal clear mooncakes inside, and he could look at the colorful fillings inside.
That plate of moon cakes was small and exquisite, looking like finely carved jade, so Ji Songxian was reluctant to eat it.
She took out the moon cake and put it on the table, took out the letter and looked at it carefully, after reading it, Ji Songxian sat at the table and thought about it for a long time.
Cheng Huaijin said in the letter, only said that Cheng Ping'an was suspicious of the dark ghost, he himself was the one who took away, but he defiled others, and said that now Emperor Qingfeng already knows the identity of Cheng Ping'an, on the one hand, he must use Cheng Ping'an, on the other hand, he must also prevent Cheng Ping'an, and now he has a lot of use for Emperor Qingfeng, so Ji Songxian should not pay attention to him.
Later, Cheng Huaijin said that although Cheng Ping'an knew that he was Xiaoxiangzi, he would never mention it to others, which reassured Ji Songxian.
Ji Songxian thought about it for a while and understood Cheng Ping'an's psychology, now Mr. Xiaoxiangzi's name is too big, and many people admire Mr. very much, especially the women in the back house are simply fascinated by Xiao Xiangzi, Cheng Ping'an is afraid that he is already jealous and hateful, at this time, he will never tell Xiao Xiangzi's true identity to add glory to Cheng Huaijin.
Ji Songxian folded the letter and put it in the makeup box, picked up the moon cake and took a bite, it was sweet and soft and glutinous, which was very different from the current moon cakes, but the taste was better, at least, Ji Songxian loved this taste, and couldn't help laughing.
She thought about what Cheng Huaijin said that his cooking skills were very good, and thought that Cheng Huaijin had also made dim sum for her to eat before, so the taste was really good, and the mooncakes this time were probably made by him himself.
She made moon cakes and sent them to her, and Cheng Huaijin also gave her the moon cakes made by herself, thinking of this, Ji Songxian's heart was sweet, full of happiness. (To be continued......)
