Chapter 45: Mid-Autumn Festival
In the afternoon of the erection day, Nie Yaoyao went to the iron shop to get the moon cake mold.
The blacksmith's craftsmanship is very good, and the models made are very reproduced with the patterns on her drawings.
After leaving the blacksmith shop, Nie Yaoyao entered a wooden shop and ordered a box of fifty mooncakes before leaving.
Yesterday, they have successfully experimented with mooncakes with various fillings, and now they have molds, Nie Yaoyao believes that their snowy mooncakes will be very successful.
Early in the morning before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Nie Yaoyao asked Jia Shun to drive a carriage to the town to buy a lot of vegetables, fruits, and raw materials needed to make snowy mooncakes.
Then she, Xiuru and Hu Yunlong stayed at home and started making moon cakes non-stop.
In addition to the traditional mooncakes filled with five kernels and bean paste, Nie Yaoyao also made some mooncakes filled with lotus paste and egg yolk, chestnut purple sweet potato mooncakes and mooncakes with various kinds of jam fillings.
It is also thanks to the lemon sent by Sun Dazhuan in time, adding a few drops of lemon juice when boiling the jam tastes much better.
The three of them were busy for a whole day, and finally made more than 230 mooncakes.
They were so tired that their backs ached, and they collectively collapsed on the kang and made salted fish. However, looking at the cute snowy mooncakes made from their hands, a sense of pride gradually came to my heart.
On the erection day, Nie Yaoyao carefully put the loaded moon cakes into the carriage, and asked Jia Shun to move out the two jars of wine that had been brewed in her warehouse for more than a month, and sent them to the hot pot shop.
"Come, take a look, take a look! Today, our Nie's hot pot shop has launched a delicious and good-looking snowy skin mooncake! Servings are limited, first-come, first-served! Jia Shun stood at the door of the hot pot shop and shouted hard.
"And the wine with a unique and mellow taste! Today, the wine in the shop is half price! Ladies and gentlemen, don't miss it! The other junior also shouted hard.
"Snowy mooncakes? Sounds so strange. ”
"Let's go in and take a look, there is nothing bad about the food in this Nie's hot pot shop, I want to try it."
……
Soon, a wave of guests poured in.
"Little Er, let's have a snowy mooncake!" A young man shouted.
"Gotcha!" A well-trained junior arrived quickly with a plate.
"Wow! It's so cute! Xiao Er, what kind of stuffing moon cakes are these? "The woman next to the man is very fond of snowy mooncakes.
Xiao Er replied respectfully: "The four moon cakes on the left are filled with jam, which are purple grape jam, red pomegranate jam, white pear jam, and this yellow one is yellow peach jam."
Saying that, Xiao Er pointed to the four moon cakes on the right, "This one is filled with five kernels, this one is filled with bean paste, and the remaining two are filled with lotus paste egg yolk and chestnut purple sweet potato respectively." ”
The woman listened so wildly that she didn't know which one to eat.
"Let's try this grape filling." The man suggested.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Xiao Er saw it very intimately and found a knife to cut it for the two of them.
The moment the blade separated, the purple jam slowly flowed out of the mooncake crust, and it looked very appetizing.
The woman couldn't help but take a bite of her own half of the piece, and her eyes suddenly lit up in amazement.
"Xianggong, it's delicious, it's really grape-flavored, and the skin is so soft, I like it!"
"Little two! Didn't you say you had a new wine in the store? Bring a pot and try it! At the other table, a middle-aged man knocked on the table proudly.
"Gotcha! Wait! ”
