Chapter 018: Something Isn't Right
Compact, press flat, make sure the bottom of the mooncake is flat, and then turn the mooncake upside down and knock it on the table......
The appearance is good-looking, and the smooth and flat moon cakes are off the mold.
Brush the skin with the egg wash, put it in the oven, and the next thing you need to do is wait for the delicious food to come out.
Su Yujin did two demonstrations, and Mother Liu and Wormwood also learned about the same.
"Girl, take a break, and the rest of the maids and Mother Liu will do it."
Wormwood's voice landed, and there was a sudden sound at the door, "Is anyone there?" ”
"Who is it?" Wormwood trotted over, saw that it was Liao, and said with a smile, "It's Aunt Liao, come here at this time, is there something wrong?" ”
"The rolling pin at home is broken, and the noodles on the board are half rolled out, so I want to use the rolling pin." As Liao spoke, he poked his head in, "Do you need it now?" ”
"The small ones are in use, and the big ones are idle, I'll get them for you, you wait a minute."
Wormwood Yan entered the stove room, and Liao took two steps from the door.
From this position, you can basically see the situation in the courtyard.
I can see Su Yujin who is making moon cakes with Liu's mother.
It is the age of a teenager, with a good appearance, and every move is full of the softness and vitality of a young woman.
Even if Su Yujin was dressed simply at this time, no powder was applied to his face, no jewelry was embellished in his hair, only an ebony hairpin was used, and even some flour was rubbed on his cheeks, it did not affect the slightest, but made it more pretty.
It's nice to be young.
The light in Liao's eyes dimmed slightly, and his teeth couldn't help biting his lower lip.
Sensing the scrutinizing gaze, Su Yujin subconsciously looked, and when he saw the Liao family staring at him, Su Yujin tilted his head in confusion.
Liao, on the other hand, lowered his head, took two steps back, and retreated to the door again, where they couldn't see each other.
Seeing this, Su Yujin stopped thinking about greeting Liao.
Wormwood quickly found a rolling pin and brought it to Liao.
Liao took it, the corners of his mouth rose, and he smiled lightly as usual, "I'll return it when I'm done with it." ”
"Don't delay, there are several at home, just get them back when you have time."
Wormwood sent it to Liao's family, and when he saw that he was far away, he turned back, washed his hands, and then made moon cakes.
"This Aunt Liao ......," Su Yujin frowned.
"What's wrong with the girl?" Wormwood stopped.
"It's nothing, I just think the way she looked at me just now ......"
Not quite right.
It's not right to say.
"I heard that this Liao was treated harshly in her in-law's family in the early years, so that her husband felt sorry for her and spoke for her, but unfortunately her husband died a few years ago, and Liao got bad news and was sad, so that the child in her womb was born prematurely at eight months."
Liu's mother said, "The child was born prematurely, Liao's pregnancy was not fine, the child was not enough in the womb, but it died in a few days, Liao's was sad, and he was told by his in-laws that the eight characters were not good, and his husband and child were killed, but fortunately, Ren Xiucai was sensible and filial, and took it to the county to live." ”
"This Liao has been in this Shuanggui Lane since she came to this Shuanggui Lane, because she has a soft temperament and doesn't like to gossip, the neighbors have a good impression of her, the old slave has been in contact twice, and I think people are okay, but they are introverted and don't like to go out."
"The old slave also heard that the child who died before the Liao family was a daughter, and the girl felt that she looked at the girl wrongly, maybe because the Liao family saw the girl, and remembered her daughter who died young, and felt sad?"
"Probably." Su Yujin replied casually, but she didn't think much of Liu's mother's words.
In Liao's eyes just now, there was indeed sadness, but more anger and resentment, and even a little jealousy, and there was no pity and emotion.
It's not like the look that a woman who has experienced the loss of her daughter should have when she sees a young girl.
It's like ......
Su Yujin pursed her lips.
The mooncakes in the first furnace were baked quickly.
The skin of the moon cake brushed with egg liquid is brown and yellow, which makes people's appetite move, and take a bite, crispy skin, but the taste will not be dry to choke, soft and glutinous bean paste filling, the amount of sugar is just right, not sweet or greasy, a piece of moon cake to eat, and will not feel tired because of eating sweets, but want to eat another piece.
Liu's mother is like this, especially when she is old and likes to eat sweets, so she went on to eat two pieces in a row.
Wormwood even showed off three in one go.
"Eat less, or you won't be able to eat lunch later." Su Yujin reminded with a smile, "The real highlight is still in the afternoon, but you can't delay it because you are full and tired of eating in the morning." ”
Highlight?
Are there any mooncakes that are better than the current red bean paste mooncakes and mung bean paste mooncakes?
Wormwood was a little confused.
But in the afternoon, Wormwood understood why Su Yujin said this.
The egg yolk, which had been marinated in salt for a day and a night, was now formed, steamed in a pot, mixed with soybean paste, wrapped in a mooncake crust, brushed with egg wash and put in the oven as before.
After the salted egg yolk mooncake came out of the pot, the wormwood almost didn't care about the heat, so it was stuffed into the mouth.
As soon as I took a bite, I burst into tears and my nose twitched and twitched.
"This is ......" Su Yujin raised his eyebrows, "It's hot?" ”
"It's not." Wormwood shook her head, "It's the mooncakes made by the girl that are so delicious, the maid is so big, I haven't eaten such delicious mooncakes, really, it's so delicious." ”
After saying "too delicious" several times in a row, Wormwood wiped a handful of tears, and then picked up another piece of mooncake.
"It's delicious, but you can't be too greedy." Liu's mother stopped.
The moon cakes that the girl worked so hard to make, she hadn't even tasted them, and the wormwood had already eaten several of them this day, which was really unusual.
Wormwood also noticed this, smiled awkwardly, and didn't know whether to put the moon cake in her hand back or put it in her mouth for a while.
"It's okay, just let her eat." Su Yujin said with a smile.
"Thank you, girl!" Wormwood was suddenly elated.
Su Yujin then said, "When you are full, you have the strength to buy some beans again, make more moon cakes, and sell them at the door of our Su Ji." ”
The mooncakes she tried were very successful, and she naturally didn't want to miss this kind of business opportunity that was only once a year to make more money.
Wormwood's gaze was even brighter than when Su Yujin asked her to eat moon cakes just now.
Make more moon cakes and make more money, and she can also take the opportunity to dip more light and eat more monthly passes.
It's a good deal!
"Don't worry, girl, I will definitely help make more moon cakes!" Wormwood's words are sonorous and powerful.
Things that make money are motivated to do!
Su Yujin, "......"
Someone is more experienced in business than himself!
After lunch, Wormwood and Mother Liu began to buy beans, sell eggs, soak beans, make bean paste, make salted egg yolks, and bake moon cakes......
The moon cake stall was quickly set up at the door of Su Ji.
