155 Mid-Autumn Festival Mooncakes

At the beginning of August, Emperor Xuan Zhao Heng, who was welcomed back to Luoyang by the Cao family, noticed that the Yuan family had the heart to be the emperor, so he took Cao's suggestion to move the capital to Yuzhou and Xudu.

Soon, Cao De, the head of the Cao family, was made a general.

But among them, there is also a reality, that is, when the princes were crusading against Dong Xing, Dong Xing and the emperor moved to the old capital of Chang'an and fled on the way, burning Luoyang, which caused a devastating blow to this once super city.

Obviously, it is a bit complicated for the current Cao clan to re-establish a super-large city, so it is better to directly take the little emperor to Xuchang, which has been operated by the Cao clan for a long time, and re-establish a new capital.

It has been half a month since Xu Da left Wubao, and every two days, the family will receive a letter from Xu Da.

The changes in the situation outside also spread to Xu Da's letter to his home, so that Xu Yue, who lived in Wubao, could get first-hand information from the outside world.

Time flies very quickly in the busyness, and when Xu Yue reacts, when she counts the yellow calendar, it is already August 15.

I didn't think about the Mid-Autumn Festival last year when I was still on the run, but this year, it seems that I can celebrate it a little.

At this time, Xu Yue didn't know if there were moon cakes, but she didn't see any special preparations at her aunt's house.

On the contrary, the tenants who are about to ripen in the fields have prepared a lot of sacrificial livestock grains, ready to worship the moon god tonight and pray for a good harvest.

Xu Yue looked at the tenants who were busy for the festival, and suddenly wanted to eat moon cakes.

The work to be done in the tofu workshop today has been completed, and only a plate of tofu is still placed in front of the courtyard for retail, Xu Yue decided to give the brothers and slaves who work in the tofu workshop a half-day off.

Yang Wazi has learned some tofu skills, but due to the identity of the tenant, he has never dared to open a mill to sell tofu by himself, so he continues to work in the tofu factory.

The auspiciousness sent by my aunt and grandmother also returned from school and left the mill.

Xu Yue suddenly came over and said that she wanted to give the big guy a holiday, and several people were obviously confused.

Ah San and the other three slaves were even more dumbfounded, as if this was something incredible.

Only Xu Dalang accepted it calmly, and immediately threw away the apron on his body, smiling happily.

"Isn't it the Mid-Autumn Festival today, this is a day of reunion, let's go home and celebrate the festival with our families." Xu Yue explained with a smile.

After hearing her words, several people understood why they were given a half-day off today.

The sheep baby smiled, and finally went home without psychological burden.

There were still three slaves left, Xu Yue remembered the various beautiful shapes of moon cakes, so she asked the three of them who knew how to do carpentry and help them make two molds.

The three of them asked for the requirements, and learned that there were only a few petals or a round mold, saying that it was very simple, and they went to find wood to make a mold for Xu Yue on the spot.

Xu Dalang originally wanted to go down to the river to soak in the water to go to the summer, but when he saw Xu Yue's posture, he immediately surrounded him.

"What is my sister going to do?"

Xu Yue smiled mysteriously, "It's delicious." ”

It's delicious again! Xu Dalang's eyes lit up, and he didn't want to go down to the river to soak in the water, so he just followed behind Xu Yue's buttocks, and Baba watched her busy.

It is simple to make moon cakes, but it is not very simple to make delicious moon cakes, and the materials are limited, Xu Yue can only find brown sugar, soybeans, broad beans, sesame seeds and other raw materials, so she prepares a DIY sesame and soybean salty and sweet filling moon cake.

There is still a lack of an oven, and there are no ready-made ones, so I have to choose to use a pan to bake puff pastry mooncakes.

Xu Yue's cooking skills are not very good, and what she is doing now is also forced out by greed, and there are many recipes for moon cakes in her brain, but the conditions are simple, and she can't come up with the materials of the original recipe at all, so she has to explore it according to local conditions.

Mixing the filling is relatively simple, all kinds of ingredients are first fried in an iron pot, and then made into powder with a stone bowl, and a rich aroma of soybeans and sesame seeds wafts out, overflowing the whole yard.

Xu Erniang, who was hiding in the house, couldn't help but run out, and Junmei also smelled the smell of the cat entering the courtyard, looking at Xu Yue's movements curiously.

As a result, he was naturally caught by Xu Yue directly, handed the stone bowl to the two, and asked them to make the stuffing.

I started making mooncake crusts myself.

Oil and sugar were poured into the basin as if they didn't want money, and the three slaves were dumbfounded.

But in fact, in Xu Yue's eyes, she had tried to use it very carefully.

However, in the eyes of the general public, who are reluctant to add salt to cooking, it has reached the point where they will unconsciously inhale cold air when they see it.

From noon to evening, the first pot of plum blossom-shaped mooncakes is baked.

Xu Yue tasted it first, well, it didn't overturn, and it tasted pretty good.

The skin is crispy and fat, and when you bite into it, the filling mixed with sesame seeds, soybean noodles, and brown sugar is fragrant and soft, and the broken broad beans have a rich taste.

The first time I did this, it can be said that it was quite successful!

"Gollum~"

There was the sound of saliva swallowing beside him.

Xu Yue reacted from the deliciousness, ate the remaining half of the puff pastry mooncake in her hand, and allowed the remaining sesame oil on her fingers to be cleaned, and motioned to the few people behind her who were watching to taste it.

The pan is small, and there are seven moon cakes in one pot, each of which is the size of a child's palm, Xu Yue ate one, and the remaining six, Xu Dalang and several people are exactly one each.

However, Ah San didn't dare to come forward to get it, and the master's family would not give it to the slaves to eat such expensive food.

Jun Mei and Xu Erniang couldn't wait for a long time, and took a bite with chopsticks, not caring about burning their mouths, and eating while blowing.

There are very few girls who don't like this kind of sweet and soft pastry, and it is not easy to eat some sweetness in this era, Xu Erniang and Junmei are so happy that they enjoy their eyes.

Xu Dalang, not to mention, before Xu Yue's words fell, he had already taken a piece of moon cake, opened his mouth, and swallowed the whole moon cake.

Somehow, when she saw her brother's eating appearance, Xu Yue automatically picked out a line of words in her mind: Zhu Bajie eats ginseng fruit and swallows it.

Ah, she definitely didn't mean to slander her brother! Xu Yue frantically swore in her heart to express her loyalty to her brother.

Turning her head, seeing that Ah San was still using molds to make moon cakes, Xu Yue patted her head in annoyance, and said clearly again:

"The Almighty Soldier King of the Female President"

"Ah Da, Ah Er, Ah San, you can also try the mooncakes made by yourself, they are very delicious, we will succeed in one time."

The three of them raised their heads in surprise and said yes.

For a while, the courtyard was filled with an alluring fragrance.

However, oil, sugar, and fine noodles are too expensive after all, and Xu Yue didn't make much, only about fifty in total.

Gongsun Yan's family and his aunt's family each sent ten, and five to Wang Dayou's family.

In the end, the remaining twenty-five were protected by Xu Dalang, looking like anyone who wanted to give it away again, he would go crazy.

Xu Erniang, who was still thinking about continuing to eat moon cakes tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, was very angry.

Wang and Wang Youliang, who hadn't had time to eat a piece, swallowed their saliva silently, and then considered the probability that they would snatch food from Xu Dalang and retreat.

The answer is zero.
