The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and the decoration of Chunli's home is still running. For the sake of safety, I still can't go back to sleep at night, but during the day, Chunli's grandmother takes advantage of Chunli's school to go to the house to clean up. Grandma Chunli worked slowly, and finally the windows were clear and clean in a week, and the places polluted by the brushing were already very clean.

Grandma Chun-Li was resting in the house that day, and suddenly remembered that Chun-Li had told her the night before that she wanted to eat mooncakes. Grandma Chunli also went to the supermarket to see that a box was very expensive, so Grandma Chunli made up her mind and made it herself!

Chunli purchased the materials for making moon cakes online, such as invert sugar syrup and some fillings, and also bought a small package of moon cakes on a certain Xixi, everything was ready, and it was up to grandma to do it.

Chunli's grandmother first poured the invert sugar syrup into the basin, Chunli was afraid that grandma would eat high-oil and high-sugar things that were unhealthy, so she specially bought sugar-free invert syrup, and then poured in alkaline water and stirred, then poured in oil and noodles, and began to press the noodles by hand after stirring. After mixing, cover with plastic wrap and let stand for an hour. During this time, Grandma Chun-Li began to prepare the filling, which was a bit troublesome this time because it was a classic five-kernel filling. If the bean paste filling is the easiest, it is to buy the filling from the supermarket and wrap it directly. Five kernel stuffing needs to prepare five kinds of ingredients, melon seeds, peanuts, walnut kernels, raisins and sesame seeds, which need to be baked, Chunli was afraid of grandma's trouble, so she bought ready-made ripe, grandma also needs to fry some glutinous rice flour, because you have to use it to make stuffing, and you won't stick your hands when you wrap some moon cakes, there are really a lot of details, it's simple to say, and it's troublesome enough to do.

After the preparation, Grandma Chunli put the five kernels and the fried glutinous rice flour together, then added oil and water, stirred evenly, and began to knead into a stuffed ball, after all were done, then knead the noodles into a small ball of about 30 grams, and finally press the noodles into small cakes, then wrap the filling, and push the bag up with the tiger's mouth. After completion, it is pressed into various patterns with molds, so that the mooncake is formed.

Next, preheat the oven for five minutes to 200 degrees of heat. By the way, since Chun-Li's aunt came, Chun-Li bought an oven and practiced baking cakes by herself to eat it when she had nothing to do. Now grandma is just using it to make mooncakes. Now, the mooncakes are put in the oven to be baked, so that everything is not fine, because after five minutes of shaping, you need to brush the egg liquid, so that the finished product looks better and is more like mooncakes. Finally, the test lasted for another fifteen minutes, and then a pot of fragrant mooncakes was baked.

This is not the end, there is a follow-up, the moon cakes are not very delicious just made, and they need to be put back in oil for a day.

The next day was the weekend, Chun-Li didn't go to class, and she was in charge of the packaging. I saw that she carefully put the moon cakes into the moon cake box, put them in a bag with small flowers, and then sealed them. Chun-Li did it very energetically, and counted them, a total of 25. Ha ha. This time there are mooncakes to eat during the Mid-Autumn Festival!

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, after dinner, grandma and Chunli ate mooncakes, which were delicious. Grandma suddenly asked Chunli, do you know the origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival? Why do we celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival? Chun-Li blinked and said, "I don't know." ”

Grandma said: "August 15 is the strongest gravitational pull of the moon during the year, it will cause tides, and most of the human body is water, so this day people have the most mood swings, easy to be impulsive, and do bad things." Therefore, it was arranged that no one should go out, and they would all eat moon cakes together at home, and they would eat bigger moon cakes, and then drink some tea, and the family would be in a good place. ”

Chunli asked: "Then tell everyone directly, don't do bad things, don't go out, don't do it." Grandma smiled and said, "Can you say this directly?" This is a wake-up call for some people. Chun-Li thinks about it too.

Grandma also said: "Chinese cultural traditions have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and we should not only know how to eat and drink during the festival, but also learn more about Chinese traditional customs." For example, why is it unlucky to see nuns, because the ancient temples are very secluded, and I am afraid that those reckless men will make trouble, but also to protect the weak. ”

Chunli didn't have a Mid-Autumn Festival in vain, ate homemade mooncakes, and listened to her grandmother's story. It's just that Chunli thought, how many things does grandma have in her head, why don't you usually tell me?
