Chapter 108: Mixed Sugar Mooncakes

Zhao Jingtang didn't know what happened in Beijing, if he knew, he was afraid that he would breathe a sigh of relief, he was really afraid of his mother.

He really didn't want to find someone now, there are a lot of dirty things in various mansions, and those noble girls who seem innocent on the surface are really innocent? He doesn't believe it at all, even if he doesn't learn ten out of ten Yin methods, at least six or seven percent, whether those people fancy him or his identity is debatable, he is still young, he doesn't want to be bound by marriage at all, no daughter-in-law is so lenient, marrying a daughter-in-law, isn't the next thing his mother has to do is to have a child, he hurts when he thinks of these.

"Young Master, are you alright?" Shopkeeper Lu is a little unimaginable, and the young master will have an embarrassing day.

"It's okay, hurry up." He hurried away from Jingshi, and only when he was far away could he feel at ease.

"Yes, young master, sit tight." Shopkeeper Lu drove the carriage all the way to Longxian.

Zhong Dashan and Jin Mo have been really leisurely recently, selling round melons and collecting money, which can be said to be directly winning.

As his round melons sold well, the people of Zhongjia Village also followed the tide, and the reputation of Zhongjia Village suddenly spread in the town, which made the other surrounding villages envious, and they also wanted to encounter such a good thing.

The round melons are selling well, and at the same time, the pace of the Mid-Autumn Festival is getting closer and closer, and Jin Mo is also busy again.

She made a lot of money, but as long as she could do business, she wouldn't miss out.

"Daughter-in-law, why do you buy so much sesame oil, are you going to make any new food?" Zhong Dashan helped move things while looking at Jin Mo with a smile.

Jin Mo complained about this foodie in her heart, her lips opened lightly, and she said four words: "Mixed sugar mooncakes." ”

Mixed sugar moon cake is the moon cake snack of the wisdom crystallization of the Han nationality and various ethnic groups in the central part of the modern north, and it is also a popular local characteristic moon cake on August 15 every year.

It has left an important and valuable wealth for the inheritance of Chinese culture for thousands of years.

Its production method is in line with the bold, bold and rough character of the northerners, and has become the most popular Mid-Autumn Festival moon cake in the central and western parts of northern China.

Zhong Dashan read these four words with a confused face, "Mixed sugar moon cakes." "The name is very good, he has eaten moon cakes, and when it comes to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the dim sum shop will put moon cakes, but the moon cakes taste average, and rich people are willing to spend that big price to buy and eat or give away.

"That's right, isn't it about to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, I made a fortune and sold our family's mixed sugar mooncakes to the county seat. The name is Zhong's mixed sugar mooncake. Jin Mo had already thought of the name of the moon cake, and it was called a self-confidence.

"Daughter-in-law, you~~ You actually put the moon cake on my surname." Zhong Dashan was so excited that his hands trembled a little.

"That's right, didn't I marry you, I'm also a member of the Zhong family, otherwise what do you want to call it?" Jin Mo glanced at Zhong Dashan.

"It's called Zhong's mixed sugar mooncakes, daughter-in-law, you're so good." Zhong Dashan put down the things in his hand, pulled Jin Mo into his arms, and hugged him tightly, wanting her to clearly feel her excitement.

Aunt Wu glanced at it to the side, and immediately lowered her head and took her things and left, pretending that nothing had happened, leaving the space for the young couple and the two of them.

After a long while, no one let go, and Jin Mo could only push Zhong Dashan by himself, "Okay, you scared Aunt Wu away." ”

"Hehe, I'm just so excited. But my daughter-in-law, the dim sum shops in Longxian County and Yangping Town also make moon cakes to sell during the Mid-Autumn Festival every year. After calming down, Zhong Dashan was a little worried, after all, the dim sum shops in the town have been open for several years, and everyone is used to going there to buy things, can their mooncakes be acceptable to everyone?

"What's the hurry, when have I ever disappointed you, when I'm done, you won't know after you eat it." Jin Mo had eaten mooncakes once, and it was the only time in her life, and her mixed sugar mooncakes were different from them, and she was not worried that there was no market for her mooncakes.

"Yes, the daughter-in-law is amazing, and the mooncakes made by the daughter-in-law will definitely be sold." Zhong Dashan's rainbow fart was blowing vigorously.

"You'd better move things in first."

"Okay, daughter-in-law, when are you going to make mooncakes."

"It's coming." When the blacksmith's oven is ready, she can start making mooncakes, and it will only be a day away from the agreed distance with the blacksmith, and she should be delivered tomorrow.

As early as when she was ready to make mooncakes to earn a vote, she had already contacted the blacksmith to make a barbecue.

"Hey~~" Zhong Dashan got the reply, full of energy, and soon the things on the donkey cart were unloaded.

The next day, the blacksmith sent the oven that Jin Mo had ordered to Zhong's house, and Jin Mo paid the rest of the money and asked Wang Shi to move the things to the kitchen.

Fortunately, the kitchen was built large, and it didn't look crowded with three ovens, and there was still a lot of room to spare.

The oven was delivered, and the mixed sugar mooncakes were also made.

In modern times, mixed sugar mooncakes are divided into two kinds, brown sugar and rock sugar, there is only one kind of brown sugar here, and the quality of the sugar is very poor, and there are some impurities.

She hasn't met the food of this world yet, and she doesn't know how it is developing, as far as the food taste in the county is concerned, it can only be said that she can barely pass the test, and there is no problem in filling her stomach, but when it comes to making people feel nostalgic, it is far from reaching that realm.

The cost price of using sesame oil alone is a bit high, and Jin Mo is ready to mix some rapeseed oil with sesame oil, but this proportion must be controlled, otherwise it will not be able to make delicious mixed sugar mooncakes.

Pour sesame oil and rapeseed oil into the pan, cook until the oil is fragrant, bubbles appear on the surface, and light smoke is slightly emitted, turn off the heat, and then pour out to cool.

Pour water into the spare pot, put in the prepared brown sugar, stir while cooking, cook until the brown sugar dissolves, whether it is sugar or water, you must control the proportion, like sugar, more will be greasy, less sweetness is not enough to taste.

Put the flour into the wooden basin, pour the cooled sesame oil into it, then add the brown sugar water in batches, mix evenly, knead it into a smooth dough, knead it for a while and put it aside to wake up, the wake up noodles are divided into a small ball, each small ball is kneaded round and flattened, and one side is stained with raw sesame seeds.

This time, Jin Mo didn't make a lot, and made 40 mixed sugar mooncakes, each of which was about two inches in diameter and less than one inch thick, which was equivalent to two centimeters in modern times.

Da Chu's dim sum is famous for its small and delicate dim sum, so the golden foam follows the trend and reduces the size of the mixed sugar mooncakes a lot.

"It's not that hard to make, and the next thing is to use the oven to bake the cakes."

Aunt Wu and Zhang Xiaohua's mother and daughter looked at each other, and said in their hearts: Madam, what you said is simple, but is it really simple?

Zhang Xiaohua got the true biography of her mother Aunt Wu in making food, which is a little difficult, but she still worked hard to write down the steps, and I believe that she can make a look like her wife if she does it a few more times.

If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, Jin Mo is very demanding of the oven, Da Chu's oven is still a little different from what she wants, which is later slightly improved by her according to the modern one, just to be able to make delicious mixed sugar mooncakes.

The oven is divided into two layers, one can roast thirty at a time, if three ovens are roasted at the same time, you can get ninety at a time, and with the oven she can also make roast duck, thinking of roast duck, saliva is going to flow out, let Aunt Wu go to the village to buy two ducks back later.

"Aunt Wu, Xiaohua, when baking moon cakes, fire power and heat are the most critical, if the fire is big or baked for a long time, the mixed sugar moon cakes will be scorched or baked, so that the moon cakes in this furnace will be scrapped." When baking mooncakes, Jin Mo will focus on telling them.

After a while, the aroma of mooncakes, sugar and sesame seeds wafted from the oven mouth, which was very rich and attractive.

Zhong Dashan smelled the fragrance and found the kitchen, "Daughter-in-law, it's so fragrant." ”

"You're a dog's nose, it's just a little smell, and you're here." Didn't he go to the field, why did he come back so quickly, and as soon as he came back, he touched the kitchen.

"Daughter-in-law, when can I eat?" He didn't get angry when he was scolded for being a dog's nose, and his daughter-in-law was playing with him. He was so haunted by the aroma that he drooled.

"It's going to take a while, a good meal is not afraid of being late, what's in a hurry." In fact, she couldn't stand the aroma herself, and sucked it greedily!

No one can resist the temptation of mixed sugar mooncakes, even the most picky people, just this taste, she can foresee the big sales of Zhong's mixed sugar mooncakes.

After a while, Jin Mo put on special gloves, first asked Aunt Wu to take out the unfinished firewood from the bottom, and then took out the entire baking tray from the stove of the hand nerves, and then took out the moon cakes one by one with a shovel and put them in the wooden basin.

Zhong Dashan couldn't bear it, stepped forward with an arrow, reached out to get the moon cake, oops, his fingers were burned, and in the blink of an eye, his fingers became red.

Jin Mo's eyes were quick, and he dragged Zhong Dashan's hand to the water tank, and pressed his hand directly into the bucket to relieve the pain. "You said you, what is the monkey anxious about, this has just been baked, and it is still hot, and I am not afraid of burning my fingers." How old is it, are you in such a hurry?

Looking at Jin Mo's serious face, Zhong Dashan was stunned and didn't dare to refute, this time he was indeed too careless, he was in a hurry, and he was taught by his daughter-in-law and suffered by himself. "Daughter-in-law, I was wrong, I'm not angry."

"When is it ready, it's missing you." Jin Mo didn't forget to continue to count him, and after feeling that it was about the same, he lifted his hand, looked at it carefully, and blew it again, feeling very distressed, "Does it still hurt?" ”

"There's a little more, not next time." Zhong Dashan didn't dare to hide it this time, the pain is the pain, and he explained it honestly.
