Shen Yunxi said with a smile: "Although this is not a good wood, it can also be regarded as a medium wood." Tian carpenter's craftsmanship is good, but the wood used is average, so the things he makes are not as good as these. ”

Zheng Guizhen glanced at it and turned to Shen Yunxi. "Brother and sister, tomorrow you go to the county order's house, thank them for sending us furniture. But we can't go empty-handed! Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and we should give a decent gift. ”

Shen Yunxi nodded, thinking, "Don't worry, I've already booked it in the county seat." At home, I make several flavors of mooncakes. ”

Zheng Guizhen remembered the strange stove that Shen Yunxi made some time ago, and asked, "Do you use the strange stove you made before?"

Shen Yunxi nodded: "Yes, the red beans and mung beans that were soaked last night can now be made into red bean paste and mung bean paste." Da Niu, go to your carpenter's grandfather's house and bring me the mooncake molds and mooncake boxes I ordered. ”

"Oh, I see." Tian Daniu stopped looking at the furniture and went to help his mother clean up her things.

Shen Yunxi had long wanted to take advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival to give gifts to the Zhang family in the county seat, the county order Lu family, and Mrs. Ji in the Ji family grain store.

Only by contacting people can we enhance our feelings.

Shen Yunxi wants to make Cantonese moon cakes. Once the materials are ready, you can do it this afternoon.

Tian Da Niu took the things back and put them on the table. Then he took out the moon cake mold and asked curiously: "Mother, aren't the moon cakes as big as the moon?" Why are the mooncakes you make so small? How did you do that?"

I heard that mooncakes are very simple now. It's a sugar cake with some added sugar. It is thinner and larger than a wedding cake, like a plate.

It's not new to make mooncakes like this, so Shen Yunxi plans to make some new ones.

There are common round and petal shapes.

Shen Yunxi carefully inspected the mold of the moon cake and found that it was good. "The mooncakes I want to make are the same as the current ones, so they are not new. Since it's a gift, it's also new. Wait a minute, you'll find out in a moment. ”

Sieve the flour, pour in the converted syrup and vegetable oil, do not add peanut oil, temporarily use soybean oil, stir evenly, mix into a dough, cover with a porcelain basin, and leave it for an hour.

Then mix together the filling, red bean paste, green bean paste, and red date paste. I wanted to make egg yolks, but the salted duck eggs she bought always had a stinky smell.

This egg yolk is absolutely disgusting when added to mooncakes.

So, Shen Yunxi turned around the five-kernel stuffing he had eaten in his previous life. There are no peanuts in the five-kernel filling, and Shen Yunxi uses fried green beans instead.

When the filling is ready, the mooncake crust is ready.

Shen Yunxi kneaded the dough the size of half an egg into a round dough, and Shen Yunxi looked at it curiously. He put it in the palm of his hand and pressed it into a dough. Then he began to wrap the bean paste filling with it, rolled it into a ball and sprinkled some flour on the outside. Then he put it in the mooncake grinder and pressed it.

Knock it upside down with a mooncake grinder to make a round mooncake with a pattern of roses and mung bean paste.

"It's not hard for me. I also make mooncakes. "Zheng Guizhen is good at making pasta, and the pastry is also very good, so he started making it at first sight.

Shen Yunxi lowered his head and smiled: "My sister-in-law is smarter than me. She can do it faster. When it's ready, she'll brush the outside with a layer of egg wash and put it in the oven. It is fragrant, sweet, and beautiful. ”

Zheng Guizhen nodded: "The material is good, the taste must be good, and it is very small." It must be better than the mooncakes we used to make. ”

There are many girls in the family. Li Fang, Junling and Tian Xiuli came to help.

She washes clothes, cleans, cooks, takes care of the kids and lives outside. At first, Sister Mao'er wanted to come over to help, but she was worried that her hands were rough and she couldn't do it well. Her wife doesn't shout, and she doesn't come up to her.
