After a simple dinner, Yi Zhan washes the dishes and Mengshu prepares the ingredients and tools.

Mengshu's moon cake mold is a simple and elegant square mold, and there are 16 moon cake holes of different sizes carved around the wood. Yi Zhan couldn't put it down, "Girl, girl, your mold is too handsome." ”

Yi Zhan's spirit with the weapon fell in Meng Shu's eyes, and she couldn't help but say, "This is what I bought in a master's shop in Foshan, and it weighs more than four catties." Don't run out of energy, you'll have to knock hard later. ”

"Don't worry, just eaten, you have the strength."

When it was her turn to officially start making mooncakes, Yi Zhan immediately transformed into a curious baby.

"Is this flour?"

Meng Shu replied with a smile: "No, glutinous rice noodles, Cheng noodles, and sticky rice noodles were mixed last night." ”

Yi Zhan asked again: "What kind of powder is Cheng Fen?" ”

Meng Shu stretched out a green onion white finger and tapped it three times in the air, "The word Cheng is Sanshuideng, and Cheng flour is a kind of flour." ”

"Why do you want to add milk?"

Meng put down the measuring cup in his hand and thought about it seriously, "Snowy skin mooncakes originated in Hong Kong and are rebellious mooncakes invented in the eighties of the last century. It was first made of cooked glutinous rice flour, which was easy to crack after a period of time, and the storage time was not long. The mixture of these three powders is a recipe summed up by countless predecessors. It is estimated that it is okay to add water, but the mooncakes made are not so good-looking, and the taste is not as silky as that made with milk. ”

Yi Zhan couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "I know a lot." ”

"I don't know why I remember this thing, but I remember it after listening to someone tell it." After being proud, Meng Shu shook his head again, "Like those English words, chemical equations or something, the teacher has talked about them countless times, but I still gave them back." ”

"There is borrowing and repaying, and it is not difficult to borrow again."

Meng Shu was amused, "I'm also a teacher now, I hope those children will borrow and not return." ”

The ingredients for making the snow skin were added to the large bowl, and Meng Shu took out the whisk, "Oh, I'll leave it to you, just stir until there are no particles." ”

"Okay, Chef Xia." Yi Zhan took the whisk and turned it in a clockwise direction, excitedly.

Three minutes later, Yi Zhan stopped what he was doing, looked at the super luxury version of "Wuren" that Meng Shu took out, and couldn't help but sigh: "Girl, you don't just have five ren, I'm afraid you have fifteen ren." ”

Meng Shu raised her beautiful eyes, looked at Yi Zhan's slightly open mouth, and couldn't help but smile, "The main ingredients are still the classic five kernels, almonds, walnut kernels, olive kernels, sesame kernels and melon seed kernels, with some ingredients, and the taste will be richer when the time comes." ”

"It should be almost stirred, there is high-temperature resistant plastic wrap in the refrigerator in the kitchen, wrap the bowl with plastic wrap, and steam it in the pot for a while."

Yi Zhan glanced at his watch, "How long does it take to steam?" ”

"Twenty minutes."

"Okay."

By the time the ice skin is steamed, the filling of the five kernels has already formed into large balls of equal weight, and the dough has begun to rise.

"Ah, help me bring the secret weapon."

"Okay."

Yi Zhan ran into the kitchen with a cigarette and brought out a large plate covered with a bamboo basket, "What the hell is this?" Don't let me see it in the morning. ”

"Life still has to be a little mysterious." Meng Shu learned someone's tone, lifted the basket, and pointed to the red bean paste with yellow particles on the plate with five fingers together, "Introduce me, tangerine peel red bean paste." ”

"This ......" Yi Zhan choked a little, he still thought......

"What's that look on your face? Haven't you seen "A Bite of the Tongue"? I learned it with a hard time. ”

Yi Zhan smiled awkwardly, "Why do you want to add tangerine peel?" ”

"Tangerine peel can neutralize the greasy red bean paste. Su Bai is pregnant, she has now begun to have some morning sickness reaction, and tangerine peel can also stop nausea and appetize. ”

The stupid Yi Zhan also learned Mengshu's movements, smeared a little fried glutinous rice flour on his hands, and clumped the red bean paste and snow skin into a round ball.

"If you take a closer look, the technique of wrapping moon cakes is similar to that of making Qingtuan dumplings." Meng Shu explained while operating, "First pat the ball with the palm of your hand, and then press it with your thumb while turning the ice skin." Put the red bean paste balls in the ice skin, and then use the tiger's mouth to slowly reunite and tighten. ”

"Alright."

A small, milky white ball lay quietly in the middle of Mengshu's palm.

Yi Zhan took the "moon" in Mengshu's hand like a treasure, put it in a mold brushed with glutinous rice flour, pressed it hard with the palm of his hand, and then slammed it the rubber pad on the table.

"Whew."

A white mooncake with a full moon pattern landed on the board, splashing a burst of glutinous rice flour.

Yi Zhan gently placed the mooncake in the palm of his hand and brushed off the excessive glutinous rice flour on the surface of the mooncake with a small brush.

"Wow, the first mooncake I made by myself in my life."

Sure enough, it's always so easy to get satisfaction from the food that is successfully made. Mengshu, who is well versed in this, also celebrates in her heart, this is the first time she and Yi Zhan have enjoyed this satisfaction together.

"Try it, the snowy mooncakes are ready-to-eat."

Yi Zhan held the moon cake in one hand, supported it with one hand, and brought it to Meng Shu's mouth, "You eat first." ”

Meng Shu was a little stunned, he wasn't like this before. Back then, the meat in her bowl didn't get into his stomach.

Take a bite gently, glutinous, sweet but not greasy, just right.

Wow, wow, wow, the wood hits the mat like it's stepping on some mysterious drumbeat.

Different mooncakes are printed with different auspicious patterns, and under Yi Zhan's tutelage, they are oriented in the same direction and evenly spaced, like five well-trained parade squares, filling the entire table.

Such a neat arrangement made Meng Shu shake his mind in the room.

His desk back then was simply unbearable to look at. Various papers, answer sheets, and textbooks are intertwined and overlapped, forming a mess.

During his lunch break, he fell asleep directly on his book, and when he woke up, he still had a lot of Arabic numerals printed on his face. When she laughed, he would always hum that song that never came out of tune, forgive me for my uninhibited indulgence and freedom in this life.

But the amazing thing is that he can always take out exactly the chemistry test paper she needs in her stunned eyes and throw it in front of her in style.

Thinking of this, a blush quietly appeared on Mengshu's fair face.

"Girl."

"Hmm." Meng Shu held the table with his hand, and the picture of the year was still in his mind, and he hummed softly with the same tenderness.

She knew very well that Yi Zhan would ask for her, and it would be the kind she would definitely agree to.

"Can I send some of these mooncakes to my grandparents to try?"

Grandparents?

Looking at his big expectant eyes, it was indeed what she expected.

At their age, the grandparents are all over the age, and everyone who is grateful will have a filial piety that has nowhere to put it. For Yi Zhan's filial piety, Mengshu naturally appreciates and supports him, but more than that, he is still envious.

Shortly after her father was born, her parents died. When Dad grew up, the grandmother who brought him up was gone. When my mother married my father, my grandparents disliked my father's poor boy and was helpless, and resolutely refused to marry my mother, but my mother's attitude was also very resolute.

My mother, who has been strong since she was a child, didn't go to her grandfather for help even in those difficult years eight years ago. Kind grandparents, kind grandparents, she has only seen in books and other people's homes.

"Of course you can, aren't the mooncakes just used for the elders during the Mid-Autumn Festival? Lan County is also more than 100 kilometers away from Seoul, and when the five-kernel mooncakes are baked, they can be boxed. Meng Shu glanced at Yi Zhan angrily, "You didn't say it earlier, I also had to improve the five-kernel filling, and it would be easier for grandparents to chew it." ”

"They have worked hard all their lives, and they should eat some delicious food made by their children and grandchildren. These mooncakes, they will definitely love. Yi Zhan sighed a little, he has grown up, and his grandparents are really old.

"That's for sure, can your grandparents not like the mooncakes sent by your eldest grandson?" Meng Shu cracked an egg in the bowl to hide the bitterness in his heart, and laughed and agreed.

"Then I'll take your good word."

"Five minutes is up, help me take out the mooncakes, I'll paint them a make-up."

Press the pause button, put on thick gloves, and take out the pre-baked mooncakes.

Watching Meng Shu carefully brush each moon cake with a thin layer of egg liquid, Yi Zhan suddenly realized, "Oh, it turns out that the color on the surface of those moon cakes comes from this." ”

Meng Shu raised his head, looked at Yi Zhan and nodded thoughtfully, and couldn't help but smile.

snapped his fingers in a dashing manner, "That's it, put it on the heat, and bake it for another fifteen minutes." The flavor is better after two to three days of returning oil, and it is just right to eat on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival. ”

An hour later, an exclamation sounded to stop Xingyun.

"What are you doing?"

Watching Meng Shu walk out of the bathroom with his clothes, Yi Zhan's face blushed to the base of his neck.

"Do the laundry." Meng Shu raised his head, angry and funny, what else can he do if he picks up clothes and doesn't wash clothes?

Yi Zhan put on her shoes, carefully put the milk in her hand on Mengshu's bedside table, and then quickly ran to Mengshu and snatched the clothes from her hand.

Under Meng Shu's puzzled gaze, Yi Zhan explained hesitantly: "That, that, let's wash our clothes separately." ”

Meng Shu is still puzzled, they all live under the same roof, isn't it a waste of time to wash clothes separately?

"I'll put the clothes together and wash them in the future." Yi Zhan's face was extremely red, and she put her clothes in a plastic bucket.

Meng Shu is also a smart person, and quickly thought of the reason, and his fair face became red.

The two people in the bathroom were like that, looking at each other, blushing and smiling.

Wipe the water off her feet with a towel, lie on the bed, close her eyes, and all that came to Mengshu's mind was Yi Zhan's cute appearance in the bathroom just now. An inexplicable anticipation swelled in her chest, perhaps because of the future where she could see the light.

Tomorrow, Yi Zhan will still spend it with her.
