The Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional festival in China. According to historical records, the term "Mid-Autumn Festival" first appeared in the book Zhou Li. By the time of the Wei and Jin dynasties, there was a record of "Yu Shangshu Town Cattle Confusion, Mid-Autumn Festival Eve and Left and Right Micro Service Panjiang".

It is said that it originated from the sacrificial activities of ancient emperors. It is recorded in the Book of Rites: "The Son of Heaven is the spring sunrise, the autumn and the evening moon", and the evening moon is to sacrifice the moon, indicating that as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, the emperor has begun to worship the moon and worship the moon. Later, aristocratic officials and scholars followed suit, and gradually spread to the people.

Second, the origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival is related to agricultural production. Autumn is the harvest season. The interpretation of the word "autumn" is: "When the crops are ripe, it is called autumn". In August, the Mid-Autumn Festival ripens crops and various fruits one after another, and farmers take the "Mid-Autumn Festival" as a festival in order to celebrate the harvest and express their joy. "Mid-Autumn Festival" is the meaning of the middle of autumn, the eighth month of the lunar calendar is the middle month of autumn, and the fifteenth day is the middle day of this month, so the Mid-Autumn Festival may be a custom inherited from the ancients "Autumn Report".

In later generations, the Mid-Autumn Festival was a very important festival and an important moment for family reunion, but this time was very different and was not given this meaning.

It is necessary to eat moon cakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but the Tang Dynasty did not have this habit.

Don't have this habit? What's so difficult about that, let them develop it directly, for this very important festival, eating moon cakes without moon appreciation is undoubtedly the best pastime.

But how do you make mooncakes? It is also difficult for Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian quickly recalled the fragmented memories in his mind, and suddenly remembered how to make mooncakes.

Eggs, flour, egg yolks, sugar, ......

As long as the moon cake crust can be made well, then what is the bread in it is not a matter of raw materials?

Whether it is egg yolk mooncakes, red bean mooncakes, or five-kernel mooncakes, it is nothing more than a matter of proportion.

But before that, he also had to be blessed with a mold, otherwise the mooncakes might not look good, so he also drew a picture.

He called a carpenter to carve a mooncake mold according to the contents of the painting.

During this period, the craftsmen were also shocked by Li Chengqian's techniques. But this was the most ordinary line drawing of Li Chengqian's era, this kind of painting, he could produce one in ten minutes, and he could draw it very beautifully.

At the same time, he also instructed the kitchens to prepare the mooncake crust.

All of a sudden, the kitchens in the entire East Palace began to get busy.

The news of his busyness soon reached the ears of Li Shimin, Empress Changsun and others, and they were very curious about what Li Chengqian wanted to do this time.

They don't know that what Li Chengqian is going to do now is one thing that will change the entire future.

But since Li Chengqian hadn't done a good job yet, they didn't be able to come. The fastest update of the network on the computer: //www.. /

It wasn't until the evening that the first furnace of mooncakes was finally about to be baked.

At this time, the five princes who were in the East Palace with him were already waiting on the side, and no matter how much he hurried, he couldn't get rid of them.

Li Tai, in particular, was already drooling at this time.

"Brother Huang, what is in your furnace? Why is it so fragrant? ”

Li Ke said: "Several of our brothers were smoked by this smell and ate a lot less dinner. ”

Li Yun and the others couldn't stop nodding. Said: Brother Huang is right!

Li Shimin hasn't eaten this yet, and the mooncakes he made may be tasted by these five people first.

Li Chengqian is not a stingy person, so let these five children eat mooncakes.

"This thing is called moon cakes!"

Li Tai said innocently: "Moon cakes? Haven't you heard of it, eating it once a month, and it has something to do with the moon? Is there any difference between it and Hu Cake?"

"Hu cake" means "baked cake", "oven cake", or "hemp cake".

In the Tang Dynasty, eating Hu cakes has become one of the most fashionable enjoyments. The Old Tang Book: "The nobles' imperial delicacies, all the food for Hu". The type of so-called "Hu food", Hui Lin all the scriptures and meanings of the thirty-seventh volume of the "Dharani Collection" twelfth said: This oil cake is originally Hu food, China has a slight change, so in modern times there is also this name, the Confucianism arbitrarily make words, I don't know which is. Hu eaters, i.e., Biluo, Baked Cakes, Hu Cakes, Takena, etc.

It became one of the staple foods of the time.

At this time, Li Ke corrected him.

"No, no, no, if it's just a cake, then the royal brother won't go to great lengths to make it. Because we have eaten a lot of cakes! If that's the case, it's not a royal brother! ”

Li Yu also said: "The third emperor brother is right, Shicai, we have also seen the emperor brother order someone to suppress the pattern on this moon cake, the pattern is really exquisite, it is a fairy, but I don't know why the fairy above is sacred?" ”

"You guys, just eat it, what do you do so much, hurry! This mooncake is about to be baked, one for each of you, go to study after eating! ”

Li Chengqian said angrily, these five people didn't read for an afternoon, and then he took out the authority of being an elder brother, saying that he would let them leave here and study hard.

Also, they're a bit noisy......

"Yes, yes, yes! Brother Huang is right! ”

Li Su snorted.

Li Yun wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and said, "Brother Huang, how long will this moon cake last?" ”

Li Tai smiled: "Yun'er can't wait, Brother Huang, you can hurry up!" ”

As soon as these words came out, all the princes laughed.

Li Yun pouted and said, "Brother Emperor, don't laugh at me, aren't you the same?" Waiting for the mooncakes to come out?! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone stopped laughing.

Not because of what he said.

Because at this time, the cook has already begun to take out a plate into the stove, and the moon cakes are full of mooncakes on it.

Everyone's eyes were attracted by the moon cakes.

The cook quickly placed the plate on the table.

Then plate after plate of mooncakes was taken out.

The attention of many princes was overwhelming. The sheen on it is very attractive and appetizing. The five of them subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva again.

If Li Chengqian hadn't been here, they would have rushed up to feast on it.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, a total of one hundred and twenty mooncakes have been produced in the first furnace, and the second furnace has been prepared!"

"Good! Roast on! The condition of this furnace is quite good. ”

In fact, he had experimented with several furnaces before, but the condition was not good, but this time it was very successful. The fastest network update Mobile::/m.. /

The cook got busy, putting the raw mooncakes on one side into the fire.

At this time, the five princes couldn't stop swallowing their saliva.

Li Yun first asked: "Brother Huang, this smell is too fragrant, can we ......?"

Li Chengqian shook his head but said, "You have to wait for a while, this thing just came out to burn your mouth!" ”

Five Princes: ......

At this time, Guan Lishi suddenly came in and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, Ouyang Xun and others ask to see you!" ”

Li Chengqian looked at the sky, he was probably here to report the results!

"Let them come here! This king is here to receive them! ”
