grabbed a handful of roasted goods for each of the two snacks to satisfy their hunger, and Gao Sheng separated the two little children and began to make the traditional food of the New Year's Moon-moon cakes.

The dough is kneaded into a dough of equal size, and then wrapped in various roasted seeds to make a filling, and then the patterns of flowers and small animals are pressed out with a mold.

Tian looked curious and came over to help.

This time she has no doubts, there were moon cakes in the Tang Dynasty, but ordinary people burn high incense when they stutter, how can they afford to eat moon cakes?

The moon cakes of the Tang Dynasty were not as elaborate as those made by Gao Sheng, not only with a variety of fried goods, but also with molds to press out the pattern, no matter what the taste, just looking at it will tempt the appetite.

The moon cakes of this era were all steamed in a steamer, and his moon cakes were ready to be baked.

There is no ready-made oven, so it is difficult for him.

When Zhang Dazhu returned from Shanghe Village, he brought back the items he needed, in addition to a few crude steel ingots, there were also a large number of jars with grooves at the mouth of the jar.

Zhang Dazhu came back so quickly because he hired an ox cart to transport the jars.

Before he set off for Shanghe Village, Gao Sheng explained to him, in order to save time, let him hire an ox cart to transport the jars back, the distance from Shanghe Village to Xiahe Village is not far, and the freight required does not cost a few dollars.

Zhang Dazhu and the coachman were busy unloading, and Gao Sheng and Tian made all the mooncakes and waited for them to be baked in the oven.

"Pillar, find a big vat for the third brother, the bigger the better." Gao Sheng shouted to Zhang Dazhu, who was unloading the goods, in the room.

Zhang Dazhu hurriedly responded, found a big vat that two people could hug together, picked it up, and shouted to Gao Sheng at the top of his voice: "Third brother, how about this big vat?" ”

Gao Sheng looked at it and was shocked.

Since I was a child, I knew that Zhang Dazhu had a lot of stupid strength, but I didn't expect Zhang Dazhu's strength to be so outrageous.

This big vat definitely weighs 100 catties, Zhang Dazhu can pick it up without blushing and heartbeat, and he can still speak normally without being discouraged, so this strength is not trivial.

Gao Sheng hurriedly took the moon cakes and brought them out of the house together with the wooden frame where several layers of moon cakes were placed, and asked Zhang Dazhu to buckle the water tank upside down with the wooden frame and the moon cakes, and a simple oven was made.

When he was playing outdoors, he used an iron bucket to buckle the rabbit meat on the stones, and the roasted meat tasted great.

This is where the principle of the simple oven comes from.

At this stage, it seems unrealistic to ask the blacksmith to make an iron bucket, and he can only try to use a water tank according to local conditions.

Let Zhang Dazhu bring bundles of firewood, surround the upside-down water tank to light the fire, and start baking the moon cakes in the water tank.

Gao Yue and Zhang Shi felt fresh, and came over to help Zhang Dazhu burn firewood.

However, Gao Sheng led Tian to wash all the jars and jars that Zhang Dazhu bought, and then wrapped the goose eggs one by one with salt and put them in the jar to seal them, and began to pickle the salted goose eggs.

After the goose eggs are pickled, the dried radishes are put into these jars and jars, and then poured into the rice washing water.

Let the rice water overflow the radish in the jar, add an appropriate amount of salt, and then use a bowl to buckle the trough at the mouth of the jar, and pour water into the trough, so that the sealing is completed, and a jar of sauerkraut is pickled in this way.

There were no chili peppers in this era, otherwise he would have been able to pickle Hunan style sour chili peppers.

The taste of sauerkraut, in this barren era of lack of taste, is definitely a thunder!

Most of the more than 30 catties of radishes were pickled with sauerkraut, and because there were too few jars and jars brought back, the remaining radishes could not be wasted.

With all kinds of modern delicacies in mind, Gao Sheng asked Tian to cut the remaining radishes horizontally into radish strips, and then knead the radish strips with salt in a dustpan, so that each radish strip is coated with salt.

Finally, these salted radish strips are placed in a dustpan and dried in the sun, and the dried radish is a delicacy that can be enjoyed by all ages.

Looking at Gao Shengzhang Luo's various foods, although Tian didn't understand why he did this, he didn't know why.

By the time Gao Sheng Zhang finished everything, half an hour had passed, and he estimated that the baked moon cakes were cooked, and he hurriedly asked Zhang Dazhu to douse the firewood with water and shovel away all the wood ashes, which made Zhang Dazhu put wet towels on his gloves and open the steaming water tank.

As soon as the water tank is opened, a strange fragrance comes out of it, and when the water tank is completely removed, the rows of golden mooncakes on the wooden shelves are steaming hot and fragrant, tempting.

"Wow, it smells so good."

The little gluttonous cat Gao Yue was the first to clap her hands and jump up to celebrate, and she had food to eat again.

And Zhang Shi on the side kept swallowing his saliva, staring at the moon cake without blinking.

"Third brother, it's the first time I've seen the moon cakes baked in a vat."

Tian looked at the golden moon cakes, his eyes were shining, the third brother's ability was beyond her cognition, with this skill of baking moon cakes, it was definitely not a problem to get rid of poverty and become well-off.

"Pillar, get the mooncakes out." Gao Sheng greeted Zhang Dazhu.

There is no need for him to explain, after Zhang Dazhu moved the water tank, he carried the basket, and began to hold the baked moon cakes with chopsticks in his hand.

Zhang Dazhu took off all the mooncakes on the wooden shelf and put them in the basket.

Gao Yue led Zhang Shi impatiently, and one person took a moon cake and ate it, the taste was so good, the little kid only cared about eating, and he didn't care about exclaiming at all.

Zhang Dazhu and Gao Sheng also took one each and stuffed it into their mouths to taste.

"Third brother, these moon cakes are delicious, delicious...... Zhang Dazhu is too simple, the moon cakes are delicious, as for where they are delicious, he can't say why.

"It's sweet and soft, and there are chestnuts, walnuts, almonds, and maltose in the mooncakes...... It's delicious. Tian sighed after taking a bite.

Gao Sheng smiled, without squeaking, and took a bite of the mooncake in his hand, reminding him of the taste of modern five-kernel mooncakes.

It's a pity that there are no peanuts in this era, only walnuts can be used instead, and there is no winter melon candy, and there are only walnuts, almonds and a few other kinds of nuts that can be bought in the Tang Dynasty, compared with the authentic five-kernel moon cakes, the taste is a little worse.

However, the nut mooncakes made by Gao Sheng are placed at the moment, and they can definitely kill the steamed mooncakes that lack flavor in the Tang Dynasty.

Three adults and two children were eating moon cakes in the courtyard, talking and laughing, and when they were happy, they saw a team of armored guards riding horses, holding a gorgeous carriage coming slowly, and finally stopped outside the courtyard gate.

Seeing these carriages and horses appear, the three of them were slightly stunned.

When the maidservant Xiaocui took the lead in lifting the curtain of the carriage, and then helped Li Mingyue to get out of the carriage, at this time Gao Sheng and Zhang Dazhu understood who was coming.

The guards stood in line outside the courtyard, and Xiao Cui followed Li Mingyue directly into the courtyard.

The dilapidated mud and straw houses, the crooked fence yards, and the miserable scene of the three generations of poor farmers and Han people in the ancestors made Li Mingyue frown slightly.

The three adults hurriedly stepped forward to salute, Gao Sheng and Zhang Dazhu knew Li Mingyue's identity, so naturally they didn't dare to be rude.

Tian has seen these dignitaries at home since he was a child.

Coupled with the situation in the village and city yesterday, her husband told her as soon as he came home, and now that she saw Li Mingyue, she guessed Li Mingyue's identity, and hurriedly followed Gao Sheng and Zhang Dazhu to give a salute.

"I'm here to sign the 'Immortal Water' cooperation document with you on behalf of King Zheng's Mansion, and the content of the agreement is an oral agreement negotiated between you and me yesterday, take a look, what are the flaws or dissatisfaction?"

After Li Mingyue finished speaking to Gao Sheng and Yan Yuese, as soon as she waved her hand, Xiao Cui behind her took out the agreement and handed it to him directly, as if she had been prepared.

Gao Sheng took the agreement, spread it out and saw that it was all in traditional Chinese, he only knew a few simple ones, and the rest was completely black-eyed, and then, he handed the agreement directly to Tian.

Tian's life experience, Gao Sheng is very clear, the young lady who came out of the scholarly family, it is naturally not a problem to recognize words.

Tian took a look at it, understood what he meant, and hurriedly read out the agreement.

When Gao Sheng heard this, the content of the agreement was the same as the content of yesterday's oral agreement, and then he picked up the brush handed by Xiaocui and drew on the agreement, and then pressed his handprint.

Seeing that Gao Sheng couldn't even write his own name, although Li Mingyue kept a calm look on his face, he couldn't help but complain in his heart, were those three poems really written by this Tian Shehan?

The two sides quickly signed an agreement, and when Li Mingyue remembered her father's entrustment and was about to open her mouth to let Gao Sheng make steamed buns, she saw a little girl with a black face and dirty, with food residues at the corner of her mouth, and ran over and hugged Gao Sheng's thigh, begging: "Aya, Yaya still wants to eat moon cakes." ”

"Ayer? Mooncakes? ”

Li Mingyue was a little confused......
