After sending the gifts one after another, there were more than half of the baskets of fruit left at home, and Yuan Ning didn't expect that the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, and finally gave out so much.

But undoubtedly, the gift is worth it. There is a saying that "the hands of people are short, and the mouth of eating people is short", these people in the village got the benefits she sent, can they still remember this favor?

Who can you give a gift to if you say that Zhu San is like that? If it weren't for Aunt Zhu's ability to be a person, where would they still be able to gain a foothold in the village!

In the evening, Aunt Zhu came over, there was a big black blue in her eyes, and she would pay for it as soon as she met, "Your third uncle is a muddy person, you must not be like him, you don't have to be angry with yourself." ”

"It's okay," Yuan Ning shook his head with a smile, and instructed Zhong Ling to cut a pear for Third Aunt Zhu, "To be honest, we are indeed going to give gifts today, but we are going to give it to you, Third Aunt, not others."

"We all know that the third aunt is soft-hearted, and she really wants to help us, we all remember this favor."

Aunt Zhu San has no son, so she can't raise her head in her husband's house, Zhu San's temper comes up, and she scolds her, if her temper doesn't come up, she can still coax her to be a cow and a horse.

"I know," Yuan Ning patted the back of Aunt Zhu's hand, "Your life is not easy either." ”

A sentence touched her heart, and Aunt Zhu burst into tears. If it weren't for the fact that she could find a good in-law for her daughter in the future, why would she be angry with that man?

Outside the nest, only the nest inside!

Yuan Ning sighed, "Life in the world, each has its own difficulties!" I see, even if I send the fruit over, there may not be one that ends up in the mouths of the third aunt and sisters.

"It's better like this, the third aunt can come over if she has something to do, and the sisters can also come, I told Zhong Ling that she will cut it for you when you come."

The pears and plums were washed and served, but the plums were chopped into small pieces, and there were two toothpicks on the side of the plate that Bo Zhong had repaired himself.

Yuan Ning took a bamboo skewer and forked a piece of pear, and handed it to Aunt Zhu, "You taste it, it's sweet!" ”

Aunt Zhu Sanjiao ate the pear, her mood gradually calmed down, wiped her eyes, and said: "In the future, if you have clothes, shoes and socks to make, just tell me, I won't take them home and make them for you, lest your third uncle see it and end it endlessly."

"Tell me, I'll do it for you. Originally, they were all members of the old Zhu family, and they should help each other. ”

"It's not necessary for the third aunt to come over to do the work," Yuan Ning said with a smile, "It's been delayed for a long time, and it's also a matter of right and wrong." Why don't you come over and teach Zhong Ling how to stick the soles of your shoes and how to cut them when you have time. ”

Aunt Zhu agreed to come down.

But in fact, Yuan Ning didn't put his hope on her at all, just said it casually, it was better to find Aunt Zhu than to find Aunt Zhao!

After sending Aunt Zhu away, the family had dinner, and Yuan Ning specially made some pear juice and gave it to Ji Xiu to taste.

The next day, I went to harvest ramie, harvested, tied up, and Zhang Ergou said yes, and went to the county seat again, this time did not alarm Master Feng, but went directly to the shop to harvest ramie.

When the people saw that it was Master Feng who brought them over, they warmly received them, bought and sold them publicly, and settled three hundred and two cents.

Yuan Ning was very happy, thinking that today was August 14, and it was time to buy something to go back for the holiday, so he took Bo Zhong around the street, bought a little sugar, and pulled a little muslin.

Bo Zhong tried his best to ask her to buy less.

Yuan Ning touched his head, "Silly boy, haven't you heard that you will spend money to make money?" How can you have the direction and motivation to make money if you don't spend money? ”

Bo Zhong nodded ignorantly, anyway, what the eldest sister said must have made sense!

The two of them bought some more spices, and it was almost there, and they went to the people who had agreed with Zhang Ergou about the location.

In addition to running long distances, Zhang Ergou will also solicit customers for short distances, such as pulling people to villages on the outskirts of the city or something, or helping people move goods, but he will not leave when he returns to the village in the afternoon.

People who know his habit will consciously arrange their time and wait until it is almost time to wait at a fixed place.

At lunch, the two of them nibbled on the multigrain cakes they brought from home, and there were pickles in the middle of the cakes, and they only spent two pennies to buy two bowls of tea soup.

When they got home, they started making mooncakes overnight.

Although Zhong Ling learned a lot from others, he was still in a hurry and sweated when he really got started.

Yuan Ning himself had no experience in this area, so he sent Bo Zhong to call Aunt Zhao Liu.

Aunt Zhao simply started by herself, let them watch from the sidelines, and skillfully mix noodles, add eggs, and add sugar......

After the noodles are reconciled, they can add filling, but Yuan Ning has nothing else in their hands except a little sesame seeds and sugar.

Aunt Zhao Liu, after thinking about it, asked them to mix sesame seeds, sugar and a little flour to make a filling, fill it, and knead it into a round shape.

Yuan Ning took Zhong Ling and Bo Zhong and Shu Yu to get started, the shapes made by the four people are different, Yuan Ning makes them more regular, Bo Zhong also learns from them, Zhong Ling and Shu Yu make them a little indescribable, Zhong Ling pinched those how they look like buns. How does the one in Shu Yu's hand look like a small animal.

Aunt Zhao said with a smile: "It's good to be able to do this for the first time." ”

There wasn't much flour in the first place, and naturally there wasn't much to make moon cakes, so after pinching it, Aunt Zhao Liu began to ask Bo Zhong to light the fire, "Let's start baking moon cakes." ”

Seeing that their family had a lot of rapeseed oil, Aunt Zhao didn't hesitate to brush the oil on the bottom of the pot, so the mooncakes baked in the end had a golden luster, which was delicious at first glance.

Aunt Zhao Liu broke a piece and stuffed it into Yuan Ning's mouth and asked, "Is it delicious?" ”

Yuan Ning has eaten a lot of moon cakes, and the various moon cakes in later generations can be summed up in only two flavors: sweet and salty. Oh, and there are also weird dark mooncakes.

But this piece of moon cake tastes sweet and fragrant, and the aftertaste is still lingering in her mouth, so she nodded vigorously: "It's delicious!" ”

When he turned around, he divided a piece of mooncake into three portions and gave it to his younger siblings. Then he packed up a few moon cakes and asked Aunt Zhao Liu to take them away, "I can't let you work in vain." ”

"You kid," Aunt Zhao refused to ask, "It's too polite!" Didn't you say that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors? ”

"That's it!" Yuan Ning didn't insist on sending it anymore, after all, there weren't many mooncakes made.

After sending away Aunt Zhao Liu, Yuan Ning also discussed with his younger brothers and sisters: "Ming'er is the right day, it's August 15, we have to live a good life even if we are poor, and then give my father and mother incense and burn paper, and tell them that our life is not bad."

"Tomorrow you will put on your new clothes, and you will look more festive."
