Mid-Autumn Festival: Mooncakes (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to everyone!) )
In the evening, the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect, the forging room of the summer spirit.
"Zhuqing, I'll make you something delicious today."
"What's delicious?"
"Mooncakes." Xia Ling's words were concise, "This is the food of my hometown, and the Heaven Dou Empire does not have it. ”
"The Heaven Dou Empire doesn't have it? But aren't you from the Heaven Dou Empire's Holy Soul Village? Is there any special food in the Holy Soul Village? ”
Zhu Zhuqing tilted his head and thought for a while, feeling a little confused.
"Hehe, you'll find out in a moment." Summer Spirit habitually touched her head.
"By the way, you run fast, help me call Xiao San and Xiao Wu over."
"Oh."
Zhu Zhuqing's mood was suddenly a little low, and after responding gently, he slammed the stove into the courtyard outside the forging room, and disappeared with a whoosh.
Summer sneered, shook her head with a smile, and moved the stove and utensils to their proper positions.
This little kitten is still angry.
"System, is there an amnestic, the Men in Black kind?"
"Ding, of course there is, but it's expensive, are the hosts sure they need it?"
"Is there a cheaper one, just a one-time one."
"Ding, I received a wish from the host, retrieving the power of fate, please wait."
"Ding, the [Man in Black Prototype Disposable Amnestic] has been distributed to your mustard seed bag, please pay attention to check."
Nice, Xia Ling snapped her fingers.
"That's right for the system, put mooncake molds, original oven, all-purpose flour, eggs, roses, red beans, fresh duck egg yolks....... Give me some of them all. ”
"Ding, I received a wish from the host, retrieving the power of fate, please wait."
"Ding, it has been distributed to you, please pay attention to check."
In the next second, a large pile of raw materials and crafting tools covered the ground in the small courtyard.
"Hmm...... Wait a minute, just tell them that I asked Ning Fengzhi to find it before. Now, let's get some of the big stuff going. ”
Xia Ling looked at the large pile of materials and muttered to herself, rolled up her sleeves and carried a bucket of water in the well next to her to wash her hands.
After a long time, when Zhu Zhuqing came back with Tang San and Xiao Wu, Xia Ling had already quickly made the dough and fillings needed for the two kinds of moon cakes, and was waiting for the wrapping.
Many of the things given by the system are semi-finished products, which can be done in a few clicks.
"Brother Ling, what are you going to do here?" Xiao Wu asked in a hurry.
"You'll find out later."
Xia Ling smiled and didn't answer her question, but turned his head to look at Tang San, who was also confused.
"Little San, how old are we this year?"
"Thirteen, what?"
"Thirteen years old...... Xia Ling sighed with emotion, "Before I know it, it's been almost thirteen years......"
"yes, thirteen years."
Tang San also smiled, he understood what Xia Ling meant. They were reborn in this Douluo Continent, and now they are in their thirteenth year.
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing glanced at each other, not knowing what dumb riddles the two of them were playing.
"Little San, do you know, today is August 15 here, the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"August 15, Mid-Autumn Festival...... It turns out that Brother Ling, you are going to make mooncakes......"
Tang San's expression froze, and a large number of memories came to his heart like a tide.
Eating moon cakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival originated in the era of Tang Gaozu. For Tang San, although the origin time is not long, for him at that time, he did eat moon cakes.
"Tianling, what is the Mid-Autumn Festival? Do we have this festival in Douluo Continent? Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but ask.
"Of course not, because this festival does not belong on this continent at all."
Xia Ling smiled and spoke, and at the same time used his divine sense to control a magic weapon in the forging room, isolating the sound in the small courtyard from the outside world.
"Brother Ling?"
Tang San was obviously extremely surprised, for him, this matter of crossing was an absolute secret, and now Xia Ling actually said it so openly.
Xia Ling waved his hand, "It's okay, what are you afraid of with me?" ”
"This ......"
Obviously, Tang San wanted to continue to say something, but Xia Ling didn't pay attention to him anymore, but told Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing the story of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
"Once upon a time, huh...... But it's not that long for the junior. We have the custom of eating mooncakes on this day......"
Listening to the custom of admiring the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival and the meaning of eating moon cakes, Tang San slowly fell silent. Looking at the bright moon hanging high in the night sky, I recalled the days when I was in Tangmen.
"Heavenly Spirit, so you ...... And Tang San, not from this Douluo Continent? Zhu Zhuqing's face was full of disbelief.
"I am who I am." Xia Ling shrugged, "As for how the two of us came to be and where we are from, does it matter?" ”
“...... It doesn't seem to be very important."
On the other side, compared to Zhu Zhuqing, who had few words, Xiao Wu was much more talkative, pestering Tang San to ask questions.
Tang San's face was full of entanglement, but in the face of Xiao Wu, he still chose to talk to him.
, just say it, anyway, Brother Ling said that he was the bottom.
"Let's make mooncakes together, shall we?"
Xia Ling spoke in time to save Tang San, and Tang San hurriedly got up to respond as if he had been pardoned.
Actually, Tang San, a guy who can only boil rice porridge, doesn't know how to make moon cakes at all. Playing with hidden weapons and forging to have nimble fingers, he suffered a tragic Waterloo in the pastry industry.
Even Xuanyu Hand and Crane Capture Dragon were used to wrap a filling, but the finished product was still unsightly, and it was ridiculed by several other people.
"Come, I'll teach you, first pick up a piece of dough and knead it into a cake......"
In the end, Xia Ling couldn't see it, drove him to the side, pulled the bellows to burn firewood, and taught Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing to make moon cakes.
Compared with the clumsy Tang San, Zhu Zhu's liquidation was at a normal level, and after getting a few, he did it well.
The most shocking thing was Xiao Wu, before Xia Ling could open her mouth to instruct, she had already figured out the correct way to make mooncakes on her own.
After becoming proficient in a few cases, he even completely crushed Xia Ling, the teacher, in terms of efficiency and the exquisiteness of the finished product, and Tang San, who was burning the fire on the side, was dumbfounded.
"Xiao Wu, are you really the first time to pack? How do you do it so well? ”
"Of course it's the first time, how could I have known about this thing!" Xiao Wu looked smug, "I don't know why, but I feel that I will naturally wrap this moon cake, and I also have a sense of closeness, which is strange." ”
Xia Ling patted Tang San's shoulder with a smile on his face, "Brother, this is a racial talent, you can't learn it." Have you forgotten what's on the moon? ”
"Jade Rabbit!?" Tang San blurted out.
It turns out that rabbits are good at making mooncakes?
"What Jade Rabbit? What are you talking about? ”
Xiao Wu, who was addicted to the world of moon cakes and couldn't extricate herself, raised her head and asked.
"It's nothing, your third brother said that your skin is as beautiful as white jade." Summer Ling played a round for him.
"Hehe, it's still Brother Ling, you can speak, unlike the third brother, who is as stupid as a piece of wood."
Tang San's face looked a little helpless. How can he, who has dealt with hidden weapons all his life, know this.
After a period of chaos, the four of them divided into two ends and ate moon cakes in the small courtyard and looked up to admire the moon.
"Mid-Autumn Festival, the festival of reunion......" Xia Ling held half a moon cake and said something vaguely.
Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but lean in front of him, "You...... Do you miss your family? ”
"In my hometown, I was alone."
"Sorry......"
Summer Ling shook her head.
"Nothing to be sorry about. Although I used to be alone, after coming to Douluo Continent, I felt very happy and comfortable. I have Grandpa Jack who raised me, my godmother who taught me to cultivate, Sister Xue and Senior Sister Xue who cared about me, and Grandpa Ju and Grandpa Ghost who often took me around to play when I was a child, and I have met so many partners and friends, and now I am much happier than in my previous life. ”
Looking at Zhu Zhuqing's earthly appearance against the backdrop of the moonlight, Xia Ling couldn't help but feel a little stupid, and the ghost made a god say a word.
"The main thing is that I still have your ......"
Zhu Zhuqing's originally fair cheeks instantly turned red, and he tilted his head away.
Only this time, she didn't run into the void and pretend to be an ostrich.
......
For a long time, until midnight, Xia Ling silently got up and put the uneaten moon cakes, previous materials, and making tools into his mustard seed bag.
"Zhuqing, Xiaosan Xiaowu, I have something for you to see."
"What's that?"
Xia Ling said as she took out a silver-white stick from the mustard seed bag and put on a pair of sunglasses.
"Come, look here, it's this glass-like gem."
The three of them did not suspect him, and stared intently at the top of the silver stick.
"Smack."
A blue light flashed, and the three of them only felt that their minds were at a loss, as if they had just done something, but now they had forgotten about it.
"I just researched a few new dishes and asked you to try them together, have you forgotten?"
"Huh? Is that the case? ”
"There should be such a thing, Brother Ling won't lie to us."
"Tianling, what did we eat just now? How did I forget a little? ”
"You little gluttonous cat, why did you forget it so quickly."
"Really?"
"Of course."
......
No one noticed that there was a jade box in the corner of the storage soul guide belonging to Zhu Zhuqing, which was a container used by the spirit kitchen to keep food, and Xia Ling gave her a lot.
Inside this jade box, a piece of Su-style mooncake with rose sand was lying there quietly.
