Maybe it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, and every family is busy preparing for the festival.

Qin Xiang was busy with her moon cakes, but she did not delay her arranging the celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

It must be known that the Mid-Autumn Festival at this time is still very different from the Mid-Autumn Festival in later generations, and even the name of moon cakes has only been born for a few decades.

To say that Emperor Xingqing's biggest influence on Xiyan is to unify the name of moon cakes.

Before Emperor Xingqing, mooncakes were not a seasonal delicacy.

There are those called Hu Cakes and some are called Shortbreads, which are always called various miscellaneous names. The shape is not the usual round shape, there are irregular, and there are also long strips that resemble beef tongue cakes.

Or when Emperor Xingqing admired the moon in a certain year, he pinched the Hu cake in his hand and felt that the name was really unsightly. When he looked up, he saw a bright moon, so he gave this cake as a moon cake.

Since then, in order to cater to the name of mooncakes, the shape has gradually been made into a circle.

Of course, although the Mid-Autumn Festival at this time is the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is more appropriate to write Mid-Autumn Festival.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a celebration of the moon festival in August, and it becomes a form of blessing to pray for a good harvest in the coming year.

Set up the offering table, prepare the incense burner, and then put the seasonal melons and fruits, praying for abundant rain and abundant crops in the coming year, which is the reverence of the ancients for nature and a good prayer for the future.

Later, when the moon was full on the fifteenth day, it was said that this day was the time when the moon god listened to the sound of blessings in the world, so the sacrifice of the Mid-Autumn Festival was chosen as the fifteenth.

Later, the Mid-Autumn Festival took the meaning of neutralization, and wrote Mid-Autumn as Mid-Autumn.

Although the process is very different from the history that Qin Xiang knows, many allusions are also correct.

Therefore, she felt that the western extension was probably a change in a certain period of Chinese history corresponding to parallel time and space.

To make moon cakes, you have to know what moon cakes are.

When it comes to eating moon cakes, Qin Xiang definitely has a lot to say.

I dare not say that every Chinese person is a foodie, but Chinese people do have a very right to speak about the science of eating.

Not only do there be foods in different seasons, but different foods also correspond to different customs. On the surface, it is delicious, but on closer inspection, it is the integration and collision of different cultures.

Compared with the history of China, the experience of this yet-unnamed continent is more complicated.

History has nothing to do with Qin Xiang, she only cares about the cake in front of her.

The most famous mooncakes are made with two fillings, one is a jujube paste made from a mixture of wild dates and local red dates, and a filling made of sesame seeds. One is sautéed walnuts, which are mashed walnuts and filled with crushed peanuts and sugar.

Even if you haven't eaten it yet, just looking at these two fillings, the mouth is full of jin and liquid secretion, and you have an urge to eat it.

Sanhe Ji's moon cakes are made too late, but I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up with the most lively time. It's also to blame her, she forgot about such a lively festival, it's obviously a festival that is very suitable for selling desserts, and she almost missed it.

She couldn't say that her subordinates didn't remind her, so she could only swallow this bitter water silently.

Jujube paste stuffing is a tradition, and this is indispensable. This is followed by black sesame seeds and red bean paste, which are also more traditional flavors.

And the most important thing is the five kernels and lotus paste salted eggs.

Not only is the filling rich, but the taste is also good, and the meaning is even better.

Who doesn't like the blessing of abundant grains.

"Madam, say that the batch of goods you ordered in the capital has already sent samples."

Qin Xiang wiped his hands, asked Chef Hu to take care of the oven, wiped his hands and went out.

The person stood in front of the oven for a long time, and the cold wind blowing in front of her when she went out made her stumble.

"It's so cold?"

Pepe covered her mouth and chuckled, "Madame, I'm afraid I forgot, it just rained last night, and you called the little master and the little lady to come and see the rainbow." ”

There is such a thing.

As soon as Qin Xiang was told by her, he remembered it.

"Look at my memory."

There were molds and packaging boxes that Qin Xiang wanted.

The two craftsmen rubbed their hands together, looking worried.

"It's a good job, but there are some details that still need to be polished. When you turn back to the delivery, you can't be so rough. ”

"This is the first time we've done this, so we're in a hurry. Madame, please rest assured, the delivery must be better than this! ”

"So be it." Qin Xiang nodded and asked them to leave their things behind. "You also know that I have to use these for the Mid-Autumn Festival, but I have to be careful, and the construction period can't be delayed at all."

"Don't worry, this must not be delayed."

commanded Pepe to walk to the kitchen with the mold, and met Han Yunxiao on the way.

"Wait." Qin Xiang stopped him, "The mold sent is a little rough, and this packaging box, you can help me polish it." ”

Han Yunxiao smiled, "This reminds you of me?" ”

Qin Xiang wrinkled his small nose and sniffed vigorously, "Huh? How do I feel where there is a sour taste? ”

"What nonsense?" Han Yunxiao didn't want to 'care' with her in front of outsiders, but when Pepe turned around, he quickly pecked her on the face.

Qin Xiang covered his cheeks, looked at the man trotting away, and laughed.

What's the matter, how old a person is still like a little innocent. I don't know who it is, the words that were not ashamed at the beginning, but now they are pretending to be a pure little boy for her.

Back in the kitchen, Chef Hu hurriedly said, "Madam, the cake is ready to be baked." ”

When I opened the door, there was a strong burnt aroma.

Not the aroma of burning, but the aroma that naturally occurs after the dough is baked. The aroma of ghee, sesame oil and sugar lingered for a long time.

Even Pepe, who has never been very keen on eating, couldn't help but sniff and shout incense.

"After this cake is cooled, it should be put in the box for a day or two, and when the filling and fat inside soak the skin, and then eat it, it will be crispy and soft. The finished rose sauce is also good, and I will make you a basket of roses later, which is delicious and beautiful. ”

Hearing about Yangyan, the eyes of the two women really lit up.

A basket of mooncakes was divided and eaten, but there were not many left.

When Qin Xiang baked the flower cake, Han Yunxiao sent the mold over together.

"It's a little late to do it now."

"It's okay, since it's a pastry shop, how can there be no moon cakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Whether it's more or less is just a meaning, and who says that you can't eat mooncakes after the Mid-Autumn Festival. ”

The next day, as soon as Sanhe Kee opened, some customers found that today's shop was slightly different from usual.

In the past, some snacks were placed on the outside and glass cabinets on the inside.

Regulars choose their favorite varieties and are familiar with the varieties sold in the store.

But in today's glass cabinet, there is no crispy peach cake, nor the soft and glutinous cake, but there are rows of them, which are beautiful and exquisite...... Mooncakes.

"Sanhe Ji actually made moon cakes?" The regular customer was pleasantly surprised, "I haven't seen it in the shop before, and I'm going to ask someone to go to the capital to bring some back." ”

The guy was a fair-skinned young man with a round face and dimples. A piece of sweet mouth like honey, immediately take out the moon cake that has been cut, and invite the guests to taste it.

"This is our new variety, you try it first, and then you decide whether to buy it or not."

The regular customer smiled: "Everyone in the family loves to eat Sanhe Ji's dim sum, and they feel uncomfortable when they are missing a day." The ancestor of the family said, the pastries of Sanhe Ji are almost inseparable! ”

But the guy was so enthusiastic that he still pinched a thin toothpick and tasted it.

"The mooncakes are sweet and greasy, and you have tea."

It's to taste it again, and it's hot tea to drink, and the guests are a little embarrassed.

But after eating the first piece, he didn't care about greeting his buddies.

The soft crust is different from the mooncakes I've eaten before. The fragrance drilled into the nose vigorously, it was the fragrance of flour, the sweetness of sugar, and a familiar and indescribable aroma. Before he even tasted the filling, he already felt so much.

It wasn't until he tasted the filling that he had time to ask what it was.

"The one you're talking about is the smell of eggs. To be precise, it's the aroma of egg yolk. But ah, this is our secret, and it's hard to talk to you about it. ”

Of course, the guests didn't ask, and they tasted several flavors one after another, and they loved everything.

"Isn't this the festival yet, our workshop is all freshly made, and we can't take care of it at this time, so we can only do this. You buy it first and go back to eat it, and then you will have all the goods when you come tomorrow. Why don't you take another look at this gift box? There are abundant grains, Chang'e running to the moon, and flowers blooming richly. Whether it is to worship the Moon Lady or give gifts, it is the best choice. ”

The mouth of the eater is short, and the guests already love the dim sum of Sanhe Ji, and they can't take a step at this time.

He looked at the exquisitely shaped wooden box, the pieces of delicately packaged mooncakes, and the good wishes engraved on them. So with a wave of his hand, he immediately ordered more than ten sets.

The young man accepted the cash ticket with a smile, and wrote down the address of the guest's house, "You have taken this bill of lading, and we will send someone to send it to you when the time comes." ”

The guest thought that it was not easy to take more than ten sets, so he immediately agreed. With a wrapped moon cake in his hand, he happily went home with a shriveled purse.

After a morning's hard work, the young man had a lotus tongue, and he ordered more than 100 sets of moon cake gift boxes alone.

This kind of sales skills even Qin Xiang was speechless.

Don't look at the fact that people can't do heavy physical work, just this skill of selling goods, how many people can't learn it.

"Everyone, do a good job, give everyone bonuses during the Mid-Autumn Festival!"

In addition to bonuses, some Mid-Autumn Festival benefits are also indispensable.

I want the horses to run, and I don't want the horses to graze, how can there be such a good thing in the world.

The employees under his hands work hard, Qin Xiang naturally can't be stingy, the salary that should be given must not be less, and the benefits that should be given must not be lacking.

Only in this way can we improve the cohesion of employees and better ...... for her Make money.

Qin Xiang looked at the order list that was gradually filling, and his face was full of happiness.

"Call Xiao Hei to go to the capital to urge the progress, and there are more packaging boxes. Have you delivered all the walnuts you ordered? It's here. Go and shout to peel it, this can't be sloppy, and definitely can't have a little skin falling into it. ”

The young man rubbed his hands and came up: "There are many families in the alley where my family lives, I don't know if I can help with this." The proprietor doesn't have to pay much, and the meaning becomes the meaning. ”
