Fu Ziya praised without hesitation: "My husband is indeed very capable. He has managed everything well in just one morning. Doesn't this master need to take a test before accepting students?"
Xiaowen replied with a smile: "I wanted it. When the master saw it was our uncle, he immediately said that the child would just go over there, and he accepted it first."
Fu Ziya looked at the tall and tall man in front of her and felt a little proud.
"Husband, after lunch, you, the little eldest brother, and the little eldest son will go to the Master's place. Xiaoqing and I will make mooncakes at home. In the evening, we will go out to the temple fair together. The Mid-Autumn Festival is lively during the day, and even more lively at night, with lanterns. There is a temple fair, but I’m afraid they’ve never seen it, but I’ve only been there once!”
Huo Ruihua smiled and nodded: "Everything is up to my wife's arrangement."
He has never seen it before.
My family was so poor before, so how could I think about this?
When the little boy heard that he could go to the temple fair in the evening, he jumped up and down with joy: "Oh, I can go to the temple fair."
After noon, everyone divided their work.
Xiao Wen drove, and Huo Ruihua took the eldest and the second eldest son and set off to meet the master. After today, school will start tomorrow.
Fu Ziya and Xiaoqing are making mooncakes at home.
Making mooncakes is easy to say and not too difficult to say difficult.
First prepare a large basin, pour about 300 grams of glutinous rice flour, and then pour in 200 ml of warm water to knead the dough. Stir while pouring, until the dough becomes fluffy, and then knead it with your hands.
Knead the surface of the glutinous rice dough until it is slightly smooth. The glutinous rice dough that comes out after mixing with this amount of water will be relatively soft. Set it aside, cover it and let it rest for ten minutes.
During this time, prepare a small bowl, pour 2 tablespoons of crushed peanuts, a small plate of brown sugar and crushed peanuts together, and then add a spoonful of white sesame seeds and black sesame seeds. This will give you a particularly fragrant taste.
Finally, add a spoonful of flour so that it is wrapped in the glutinous rice dough so that it does not spread easily. Use a spoon to mix these ingredients thoroughly. The crab can also be replaced with bean paste, lotus paste, beef, egg yolk, etc. It was better to beat it yesterday. I’m going to make these flavors for everyone, mix them well and set them aside for later use.
Take an appropriate amount of glutinous rice balls, put them into the palm of your hand, and then gently flatten them with your hands. It is best to press it into a glutinous rice cake that is slightly thinner on the edges and thicker in the middle. Take a spoonful of sugar filling and place it in the middle of the cake crust. Lift the edges of the cake and knead the sugar filling together.
As long as the filling is not leaking, knead it and put it into a round ball in the palm of your hand, and finally flatten it gently, so that the double skin of the glutinous rice pancake is ready.
Finally, brush a thin layer of cooking oil on the pan and put the rawhide in one by one while frying. The glutinous rice cakes will become very soft and cannot sit together.
Remember to fry slowly over low heat. After frying for about three minutes, the bottom side has been set and slightly brown. Use a spatula to flip it to make the other side also set. Flip the glutinous rice cake over and over again to fry it, so that both sides will be fried evenly, and you don’t have to fry it for too long, as the sugar lines inside will be exposed. (Baidu)
The two of them made probably more than fifty mooncakes throughout the afternoon.
Xiaoqing couldn't help but admire her lady from the bottom of her heart: "Miss, you are so awesome, you can do everything. The pattern of this mooncake is so beautiful, I have never seen it before."
A pot came out immediately. Fu Ziya picked up a piece from it and took a bite. It tasted really good. This was a delicacy she had learned to make in her previous life.
"Okay, stop flattering me and give it a try to see how it tastes."
Xiaoqing has only been with Fu Ziya for a few months. She has grown from a skinny and small figure to a big girl.
Her personality has also become much more cheerful, and she is no longer as afraid of Fu Ziya as she was at the beginning.
She obediently took out a moon cake and took a bite.
"This tastes so delicious, sweet but not greasy, and melts in your mouth. Miss, I have never tasted such delicious mooncakes. I am afraid that none of the mooncakes sold outside can taste as good as the ones we make."
Fu Ziya smiled and said, "You, you, you are the only one with a sweet mouth. This is what we both did, and you also deserve credit."
After saying that, he took a piece and put it in Lingling's hand: "Lingling, try this. Is it really delicious?"
Lingling obediently played with herself, and then started eating. Maybe it was so delicious, so she didn't say a word and just ate one bite after another.
At this time, Huo Ruihua and the others just arrived at the door of their home, and they smelled the aroma of food outside the door.
The little boy was the first to get off the carriage, and then ran in quickly: "Auntie, what is delicious? It smells so good!"
Fu Ziya quickly brought him a piece of bean paste flavor: "Try the flavor you like."
The little boy quickly took a bite and narrowed his eyes happily: "Auntie, is this a mooncake? It's not only beautiful, but also very delicious. I can't bear to eat it."
Fu Ziya touched his little head: "Don't worry, eat, there are many more. Enough, we will make mooncakes every Mid-Autumn Festival from now on!"
When the little boy heard what his aunt said, he immediately finished the mooncake in his hand and then picked up another piece.
At this time everyone also walked in.
Fu Ziya took a piece of beef and put it in Huo Ruihua's hand: "Mr. Master, try it. How does it taste?"
Huo Ruihua also didn't expect that the mooncakes she made would be so exquisite, more exquisite than those sold in shops.
"Madam, you are really skillful with your hands. You can actually make this mooncake so beautiful."
Xiaoqing brought mooncakes to Xiaobo and her brother.
After eating, they all praised the moon cakes.
"Ms. sir, I've packed another one here. Let's send this one to Song Youcai's house when we go to the temple fair in the evening. He usually takes care of you."
Huo Ruihua was slightly surprised. He didn't expect the lady to be so considerate: "Well, we met in the morning and we made an appointment to go to the temple fair together in the evening."
The little boy only heard the word "temple fair" and his eyes widened: "Uncle, is the temple fair fun? I want to go too!"
Even the little boss, who had always been calm, looked at Huo Ruihua eagerly, and it was obvious in his eyes that he also wanted to go.
Huo Ruihua nodded: "Your aunt said that we should all go together. We will leave early that night."
Everyone had dinner early and set off to the street.
The Mid-Autumn Temple Fair is brightly lit and crowded with people, so lively.
The little boy excitedly held Huo Ruihua's hand and looked west.
They tasted various snacks while enjoying the wonderful juggling performances.
Suddenly, the little boy was attracted by a rabbit lantern on a stall and refused to leave.
Seeing this, Fu Ziya stepped forward to ask about the price.
The stall owner saw that the little boy liked it and offered ten cents. Fu Ziya felt it was a bit expensive, so she started bargaining with the stall owner.
Finally, the stall owner compromised and sold it to them for eight cents.
The little boy was holding a lantern and was very happy.
They continued to hang out at the temple fair and enjoyed this wonderful night.
