Chapter 159: Mooncakes

Since the opening of the chess and card club, Jin Yu has been much busier, and his days have begun to be full. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Other Jin Yu can't help, but the storytelling version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can be written by him, a book of 65w words, one hundred and twenty times, Jin Yu writes once a day with impressions, less than 6,000 words. The updates are constant, but no one has ever given him a tip, subscription, full attendance, etc., which is very tiring.

Lazy people have lazy ways, won't Guozijian's teaching leave everyone a class time to do exercises? Jin Yu wrote directly on the podium, occasionally went down to point out and answer, and then went home to write the rest, because he had a general impression, coupled with the evidence of "Three Kingdoms", it was not too difficult to write, he could complete a day's update in an hour, and occasionally save some words, so that he could make time to ask Yang Ying for a few more Bodhisattvas.

I don't know what Li Erchou's style is, the original workshop is already big enough, and he temporarily expanded the workshop, and encircled all the remaining Huangzhuang in the delta, which was enough to start work a year ago. Jinyu's shares remain unchanged, Jinyu is very happy, the production capacity is high, the dividend is high, there is no reason not to support, it is the fish and shrimp that suffer downstream, and the river god must be sacrificed when the construction starts after the year.

Changle finally has a reason to come over often, how can you say that everyone is the spokesperson of the royal family, isn't it? Changle and Yang Ying, who have been going back and forth, are familiar with each other, and the friendship of NV men doesn't understand, and they can't guess, anyway, after a while, people are already sisters and sisters who want to weigh it, I don't know if Li Ke will have the urge to hit the wall after hearing it.

Changle was already good at calligraphy and painting, and the sketches that Yang Ying and Jin Yu learned finally fell into Changle's eyes, and Changle was very interested. The sisters often use each other as models to sketch, there are a lot of people on the table in Jin Yu's study, and Yang Ying's Changle Ting is beautiful, no worse than Yang Ying herself. Judging from xiǎo, it seems that she will be a great beauty in the future, and I don't know who will have this blessing to marry her, Changsun Chong does not have this blessing, Jin Yu thought secretly, very gossipy.

Jin Yu doesn't know how to make pencil leads, he used to use charcoal, and after painting, Yang Ying was dirty, so he was ingenious. Yang Ying used ink to hun some soil, kneaded it into thin strips, and then let Jin Yu glue a layer of wood after drying, which became the prototype of a pencil, and it was really much better. Jin Yu used to spoil the paper, but this time Yang Ying spoiled the ink, the two of them were half a catty, and finally there was a place to blame each other, which was very fair.

The first sketchbook was taken by Mr. Cheng as his own, but he didn't have the face to share it with everyone, so the first promotion died. The second time it was promoted by Changle, and the effect was remarkable. After Changle returned to the palace, he practiced his younger brothers and sisters from time to time, the characters were vivid, Li Er and Queen Changsun liked it very much, if they could regularly draw a portrait of their baby and save it, it must be a good memory in the future. As a result, a style of painting quietly arose in the aristocratic circle, just like the queen of Changsun raising a cat some time ago. In this way, Yang Ying's name has also spread out, and she has become a talented nv in the aristocratic circle, and the nvxing who came to visit gradually increased, and Yang Ying's life was no longer monotonous. After getting off work, Jin Yu often encounters Yang Ying talking freely with the princesses, county lords, county lords and princesses of various countries, daughters-in-law or something, Jin Yu never bother, Yang Ying has more friends, Jin Yu has a supportive attitude.

With the rise of this style of painting, Jin Yu's "Ice and Fire" in the city also started selling pencils, and the sales were good, and there was another entry.

There are a lot of hawthorns in the orchard, and this thing doesn't like to eat much, it's too sour. Jin Yu sent some to the government mansions that were related, and summoned his half-big xiǎo sons to the street to shout and sell, not trying to make much money, just to subsidize the farmers, the winter wheat has just been planted, and the harvest is still early, Jin Yu is afraid that the farmers will not be able to support it.

In a group of two, one is carrying a sugar gourd, and the other is singing the Tang version of "Rock Sugar Gourd", just like the later "Selling Newspaper Song", the people of Chang'an knew it for a long time, and it turned out that this hawthorn still has such a way to eat.

Since Jin Yu sent someone to send some rock sugar gourds to Cheng Fu, Cheng Huaimo has been on the board almost every day, either he has accumulated food today, or the old man has accumulated food, or his daughter-in-law wants to eat something sweet and sour, anyway, there are many reasons, and he returns with a full load every time. Jin Yu gave him a prescription, he didn't want it, saying that his own sugar was not as sweet as the eldest brother's house

During the first holiday in August, Cheng Huaimo and Qin Huaiyu came again, not empty in their hands, carrying two jingzhi xiǎo bamboo boxes.

"What's that?" Jin Yu learned Cheng Lao's bad habits, and as soon as he entered Mén, he flipped over the gifts, which made Yang Ying very faceless. ,

"Hu Biscuit. Isn't this about the beginning of the month, should be a scene. Cheng Huaimo looked left and right when he came, "Big brother, are there any sugar gourds?" I ate too much last night, and I had some food accumulation. ”

"I'll be up in a minute." On August 15, the Tang Dynasty also ate moon cakes, but people called it "Hu cake", and the legend arose because of a sentence that Li Yuan said to celebrate the triumph of the imperial court. Jin Yu looked at the Hu cake in this year, it was very different from the later generations, it was a baked cake with sugar filling, and there was a note in it, writing some auspicious words or something.

"It's crazy to sell in the city, and people with a bit of status eat it, it's not easy to buy, and it's a long queue." In order to make himself eat sugar gourd with a clear conscience, Cheng Huaimo pointed to Hu Biscuit and praised the avenue. Qin Huaiyu on the side blushed when he heard this, pretending not to know this person.

Jin Yu despises it, how can you eat this thing? I definitely don't eat it, and Yang Ying probably can't get used to it, so I don't dislike Tibetan mastiff and xiǎoha. "I'll send you some later, so you can see what real mooncakes are"

"Big brother will do this thing too?" Cheng Huaimo was a little surprised, this thing is a bit strange for him, he eats it once a year, it is really a suitable thing.

"Yes, what do you like to eat? I'll do more for you when the time comes. "The moon cakes in later generations are outrageously expensive, I have heard that the festival has to pay a personal jiāo tax, which is outrageous but not difficult, there are a lot of them on the Internet, Jin Yu in order to let those officials and men waste two money, consciously self-taught, the tools are simple, micro bo stoves, electric baking pans can make do, not to mention that now Jin Yu has a special oven?

"Do more, I don't have a taboo" Cheng Huaimo grinned, making Jin Yu hate to be a half-naked person who was about to become a father, and he was so faceless. But this is very likely to be the Cheng family's mén style, and Cheng Bingjin is about to become a grandfather, isn't it still like this? It seems that he can't see the Cheng family in general.

"How many months to be a dad?" Jin Yu tasted the Hu cake of this year, the taste was not good, one bite was enough, and he didn't have the courage to eat the second bite.

"It's less than two months, hehe." As soon as he talked about being a father, Cheng Huaimo couldn't help but be overjoyed, grinning and laughing, very happy.

"When the time comes, let your sister-in-law make two clothes for the baby, so that she can survive the winter." Adding a baby is a big deal, there are many children who die in the winter this year, keeping warm is a big problem, and it is not uncommon to eat and drink Lazar in the house all winter. Under the price of Han Wu's chou twitching, the cotton huā was finally completed on schedule, fluffy and soft, which was very gratifying. Yang Ying has already made two cotton clothes for Jin Yu, and also made one for Qin Qiongfu Fu alone, but she didn't do it herself. Fortunately, there is still a lot of cotton huā left, otherwise Jin Yu would definitely dismantle his own body for her to make.

"Thank you sister-in-law, hehe." Cheng Huaimo arched his hand towards Yang Ying on the side, now he is familiar with Cheng Huaimo, Yang Ying does not avoid him when there are no outsiders, Qin Huaiyu is her brother-in-law, and she has no reason to avoid it.

"It should be, it's not worth thanking." Yang Ying is very envious, everyone who is a younger brother is going to be a father, and her belly, who is a sister-in-law, has not moved, and the Bodhisattva is still not diligent

"My father said that my brother-in-law and eldest sister should go over to enjoy the moon and see Gui Huā in the middle of the month, I wonder if my brother-in-law is free?" Qin Huaiyu was more than Cheng Huai Mo and explained his intention.

"Okay, go back and treat me, thank you for your kindness." Jin Yu can see it clearly, August 15th, huā is a full moon, everyone is a family reunion, Jin Yu and Yang Ying are both orphans, Qin Qiong let them go over to have a lively time, and the province remembered the sadness of the ancestors.

There are two laborers, and the mules and horses in the house can rest. Jin Yu painted the cake mold for a few months, and sent someone to the printing workshop to inform Bi to worship, one by one with the apprentices, and it will be made soon.

"Let's go, I'll teach you how to make mooncakes, and you can show off everywhere in the future." Jin Yu smiled and said with bad intentions.

Cheng Huaimo and Qin Huaiyu finally knew how to do it now, they made the noodles and stuffing, and they were very tired.

"Don't you want more flavors? Peel the fruit in the past. "Jin Yu is just a fighter, and a while is when he is the busiest. After watching the two of them finish, he pointed to a large basket of fruits and said. Now all kinds of fruits are ripe, there is no shortage in the Jin Mansion, the cellar is full, and the fruit moon cakes are also delicious.

Bi enshrined very quickly, it was carved in half an hour, and the mold was sent over, and Jin Yu threw it into the oil casually, this thing will get on the surface if it is not soaked, and it is difficult to clean it out.

Cheng Huaimo and Qin Huaiyu are much easier to use than mules and horses, and they successfully completed the task of Jin Yu's Jiāo generation, hiding aside and panting, for fear that they would be caught by Jin Yu and assigned to work again.

The rest of the work is done, rolling, filling, molding, molding. Jin Yu asked Bi to engrave a total of five molds - Fu Lu Shou Xi Cai, which looked very festive, and Jin Yu sketched the name of the stuffing behind the butt of the moon cake, and Qi lived. The note in it is exempted, it is the tradition left by Li Jing to convey military information, and he will not let it go of his own family, everything is summarized in "Fu Lu Shou Xi Cai".

Mooncakes don't need to be baked for too long, just about ten minutes. took it out and cooled it for a while, and set the shape, Cheng Huaimo and Qin Huaiyu ate the first real moon cake in Datang

After a busy morning, these two babies were very hungry, and Jin Yu made it delicious, the two babies didn't eat anything else, and filled a stomach full of moon cakes, which was very satisfying. The sad thing is that Jin Yu asked the two of them to do a morning of work on the grounds that the two of them had eaten too much and the rest was not enough to give gifts
