Chapter 126: Making Mooncakes

"You can also make mooncakes?" Li Pearl said in surprise.

"But we don't have an oven, and we don't have enough ingredients!" At this time, people eat five-kernel mooncakes, and the others are easy to make, white sugar and rock sugar, they don't have them, and when they are baked, they also need an oven.

"Although we don't have an oven, we can use steamed, although the materials are insufficient, but we can make a simple version, or we can use sweet potatoes and pumpkins to make moon cakes, and we don't care what it is, as long as there is this form." Xie Xiaonian said with a smile.

"Okay, then we'll try it tomorrow." Li Pearl saw that Xie Xiaonian said that what he said was Tao, and he also wanted to try it.

"Then what materials do you need to prepare in advance?" Liu Yifan asked.

"I thought about making some other fillings besides the five-kernel mooncakes, and we didn't make the kind of mooncakes that were particularly large, just the kind like Cantonese style, small and beautiful. As for the other stuffing, I need to go back at night and think about it, let's take back a little bit of jujube and chestnuts first, maybe we can use it. I have the flour I have, and I'll bring it directly tomorrow, so you don't have to prepare it. Xie Xiaonian said while starting to load the half-dried red dates on the ground.

"Then we're not going to prepare anything?" Li Pearl asked again.

"Aren't there spring sweet potatoes planted in your own field, and they are almost edible now, so you can dig a few pieces tomorrow morning and come back." Xie Xiaonian said after thinking about it

"Well, that's fine, I'll dig it early tomorrow morning." Liu Yifan saw that they also had a task, so he replied happily.

Although Xie Xiaonian can make moon cakes, and he has made a lot of them in his previous life, but when there is an oven, he has never done it with a pot.

So when Xie Xiaonian was in the evening, he tried to make a few sugar-free mooncakes in the space by steaming first.

After tasting it, Xie Xiaonian decided to make six kinds of fillings: five kernels, bean paste, black sesame seeds, jujube paste, sweet potatoes and pumpkin.

Because the reason why they are made sugar-free is not that you are afraid of gaining weight, but that they really have no sugar, so they can only make them sugar-free.

In general, the steamed moon cakes, although they are not as good as those made in the oven, are still a little soft when they first come out of the pot, not so much moon cakes as pastries, but the taste is still okay, and it is just a form, so Xie Xiaonian is not too serious.

Because he was afraid that Li Pearl would have no materials, when Xie Xiaonian went the next morning, he not only brought flour, but also black sesame seeds and red beans.

The next day, when Xie Xiaonian was brushing the pot, Xie's father said to her: "Xiaonian, you push the bicycle out, I have to go to the commune today." ”

"Dad, what are you doing in the commune!" Xie Xiaonian asked as he went back to the house to push the bicycle.

"Today's holiday, it just so happens that there are catties of meat tickets at home, I will go to the commune to cut catties of meat and come back, and let's make dumplings to eat in the evening." Father Xie said happily.

After sending Xie's father away, when Xie Xiaonian walked to the Educated Youth Institute, he saw that Liu Yifan had already dug up the sweet potatoes back, and the pumpkins were also ready, and he was cleaning the sweet potatoes there.

And Li Zhi has been giving birth for 7 days, so she can get out of bed at this time and is sitting in the yard for breakfast.

Seeing this, Xie Xiaonian secretly complained to himself, this breakfast is late enough.

However, Xie Xiaonian ignored her and went directly into the kitchen with Li Zhuzhu.

Because Xie Xiaonian had already made moon cakes in the space yesterday, he was very skillful in directing Li Pearl and Liu Yifan to do things, of course, during the whole process, they were all closed, and Li Zhi of the province heard the movement and came out again.

However, a few people can block the sight of others, and they can speak in a low voice, but they can't block the fragrance coming from the house.

Because today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the people in the educated youth center have not gone out, so the other people attracted by this fragrance have gathered in the courtyard and looked into the kitchen.

However, for the sake of face, they only waited and watched, and did not knock on the door to ask.

When Li Pearl came out to go to the toilet halfway, he looked at a group of people in the yard and was startled, thinking that they were not afraid of the heat and panic, so they sat in the yard.

"They may have smelled the scent, and they are all sitting in the courtyard!" As soon as Li Pearl came back, he immediately said.

"Then make a few more sweet potato fillings later, and one person will share one for them." Xie Xiaonian suggested.

"I think it's okay, we've been doing it for so long, and it's a little unreasonable not to give them one, after all, it's a yard that lives." Liu Yifan said.

"But none of them gave us a gift, a few days ago Lin Xiaodan gave a gift, so many good things, she was not willing to give us a bite to eat, so she gave us a pound of fruit, and always reminded me openly and secretly that when she got married, don't forget to give the gift, I don't want to give them moon cakes." Li Pearl said unhappily.

"They are them, you are you, don't worry about them in general, why do they all live in the same yard, the relationship should not be too stiff." Xie Xiaonian persuaded.

"Alright then, then there's only one for each person."

Because it's still hot now, it's not easy to store, so Xie Xiaonian made 6 of each.

Of course, I made 4 more sweet potatoes for the people in the yard.

Because Xie Xiaonian wanted to send some to the third grandmother, he took 2 of each, and left the rest for Li Zhuzhu and them.

And after Xie Xiaonian left, Li Pearl also brought out 4 sweet potato-filled mooncakes and gave one to each person.

Because it is made of white flour, even if each person is only given one, they have nothing to talk about.

And after Xie Xiaonian took the moon cakes out of the educated youth center, he did not go home, but went directly to the third grandmother's house.

However, because the third grandmother went to work, Xie Xiaonian put the moon cakes directly into the pot in the third grandmother's kitchen as usual.

Because Xie Xiaonian puts it in this place every time, the third grandmother will know when she sees it.

Xie Xiaonian knew that the nephews of the third grandmother, afraid of being talked about by the villagers, would definitely ask the third grandmother to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with them, and the third grandmother would definitely go to the nephew's house that came to invite her first.

In order not to make the third grandmother angry, and was said by her nephew and daughter-in-law to eat her family's things for nothing, Xie Xiaonian gave the third grandmother 8 of the 12 mooncakes she took back from Li Zhuzhu.

She wants to take the remaining 4 back to the Xie family, after all, it will definitely not be tomorrow, and the people in the village will know about their moon cakes, so it's better to take a few home.

If it weren't for the fear of being found out that the number was wrong and arousing suspicion, Xie Xiaonian would still want to take some out of the space and give it to the third grandmother as a snack.

However, with these 8 mooncakes, no matter who the third grandmother goes to, the mooncakes are enough, and the third grandmother can also eat a piece and taste it.

But Xie Xiaonian didn't expect the news to spread so quickly, and as soon as Xie Xiaonian got home, he saw Xie Xiaobao running over and shouting: "Second sister, what about the moon cakes you made, give them to me quickly." ”

"How do you know I'm making mooncakes?" Xie Xiaonian glanced at Wu Lihua, who was hiding on the side, and asked directly.

"I heard it when I was out playing! Give it to me! ”

Xie Xiaonian didn't believe Xie Xiaobao's words, and thought to himself, it seems that Wu Lihua and Li Zhi are not unrelated as Li Pearl said, but they have not been discovered.

However, Wu Lihua is now learning to be smart, and she no longer stands out on her own, and everything makes Xie Xiaobao's son rush ahead.

In fact, Xie Xiaonian thought wrongly, Wu Lihua and Li Zhi really haven't had any contact recently, the reason why Wu Lihua knew about Xie Xiaonian making moon cakes was because Lin Xiaodan specifically told her, if she didn't know that Qingsuo was so far away from the village, how could she know.

Although Xie Xiaonian knew that this matter had nothing to do with Wu Lihua, as long as Wu Lihua didn't jump out to find her stubble, she didn't bother to pay attention to Wu Lihua, so she said to Xie Xiaobao angrily: "The moon cakes are to be eaten at night, you go and ask your father if you want to eat them now, if your father agrees, I will give it to you immediately." ”

Although Xie Xiaobao has no heart and lungs all day long, he still knows that Father Xie has not treated him as well as he used to in the past few months, and he doesn't dare to fool around in front of Father Xie now, so he can only say with a wilt: "You have to give me food that night!" ”

"Hmm!" After Xie Xiaonian answered, she went back to the house directly, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and she is ready to rest and not go out to work.

After returning to the house, Xie Xiaonian missed her family in her previous life a little, during the Mid-Autumn Festival in her previous life, she would also make all kinds of moon cakes for her family with her mother and sister-in-law, and then cook a table of good dishes in the evening, and the family would get together and have a reunion dinner.

But now that she was alone, she suddenly felt a little sad.

In order to prevent the spread of this sad emotion, Xie Xiaonian hurriedly took out a medical book from the space and read it.

The last time Li Zhi had a miscarriage, she suddenly realized that her medical skills were still in their infancy, and she could give the villagers a few handfuls of medicinal herbs to treat headaches and brain fever.

Like the third grandmother's rheumatism, she still relied on space well water to cure it.

If there is no space well water, her little medical skills, just like the original owner, can only relieve the pain of the third grandmother, but cannot cure it.

Originally, Xie Xiaonian thought that with the space well water, it would definitely be able to cure all diseases, but the reality slapped her in the face, and the space well water was not as magical as she imagined.

For chronic diseases, she may be able to slowly regulate and cure them through space well water, but for emergencies, she is really helpless.

Before, she had only cared about how to live her life well, and she didn't pay much attention to the medical books in the space, that is, to read them casually when she had time.

Now that I am aware of my shortcomings, I must make up for them, I can't waste the medical books in the space, and I can't let myself encounter an emergency in the future and be helpless.

Therefore, Xie Xiaonian has been studying the medical books in the space as long as he is free recently, and at this time, he can only borrow medical books to relieve his thoughts about his family.

At this time, Xu Zhongjun, who was far away in the army, looked at the 1 pound of moon cakes issued by the army in his hand, and suddenly missed Xie Xiaonian, I don't know how she spent the Mid-Autumn Festival, and whether she could eat moon cakes.

Not long after Xie Xiaonian started to read medical books, he heard the bell of the bicycle, and when he walked to the courtyard, he saw that Xie's father had returned, and on the handlebar of the bicycle, 1 pound of pork belly was tied with a straw rope.

And Xie Xiaobao was following behind Xie's father's bicycle at this time, looking at the piece of meat excitedly.

"I heard that you made moon cakes at the Educated Youth Institute?" After Xie's father returned home, the first thing he said was to ask about moon cakes.
