The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 181 Mooncake ([-])

This is Su Yunduo's first time making mooncakes, and there is no oven like in her previous life, so she only mixed two kinds of ingredients.

One is a salty filling made of fresh meat, and the other is a five-nut filling made of walnuts, sesame seeds, peanuts, melon seeds, etc., mixed with rice flour in a certain proportion, which is naturally sweet.

In order to distinguish easily, the mooncakes made with the mold of "Flowering the Moon" are sweet mooncakes stuffed with five kernels, and the molds of "Chang'e Flying to the Moon" are made with salty mooncakes filled with meat.

Su Yunduo glanced at the mooncakes that had just been baked, and there were exactly five "Flowering Mooncakes" and five "Chang'e Flying to the Moon", that is, five salty ones and five sweet ones.

She thought about it for a while and took a mooncake of one flavor and divided it into four with a knife. She tasted a quarter for Zisu and Jiu'er each, and she also tasted a small piece for herself, and thought it tasted good, although It's not as good as the grandmother's craftsmanship in the previous life, but it's not the same.

It must be the first time to eat such a delicious mooncake. Whether it is Jiu'er or Zisu, the expressions of both of them are extremely happy. When asked, it can be described as seeing teeth but not eyes.

"It's delicious, the son of this meat filling must like it!" Jiu'er looked at the two mooncakes left on the cutting board with eyes, and made a suspicious stabbing sound from his mouth.

Su Yunduo glanced at Jiu'er speechlessly, and pointed to the two mooncakes on the cutting board: "Eat it if you like it. Send these eight pieces of mooncakes to your son, and you can make more than ten and twenty yuan here." Moon cakes are enough for you, as long as you don’t get bored! But you can’t eat them all, you have to save two pieces for my father. Tomorrow the rural examination ends, and I have to make up for the Mid-Autumn Festival for him.”

Jiu'er was naturally very happy, finished eating the mooncakes on the chopping board in twos and twos, took up the mooncakes that Su Yunduo had set up, and went to offer treasures to his master.

Watching Jiu'er leaving in a hurry, Su Yunduo looked back at the remaining noodles and materials, and sighed secretly, it seemed that it was not enough to do just these.

Fortunately, the flour and various filling ingredients that Zisu brought from the housekeeper had a large surplus, and she only used about half of it.

Su Yunduo asked Zisu to continue making mooncakes. She first put the unmoulded mooncakes of Zisu into the iron pan and baked them slowly over low heat. Then she took a relatively large pot and poured all the remaining flour into the pot. And good awake.

In the middle, I was still concerned about turning over the mooncakes baked on the stove and continuing to bake them. When I woke up, the mooncakes baked on the stove were just finished, and Jiu'er came back with an empty plate.

Seeing Su Yunduo, the first sentence was: "Master really likes to eat moon cakes filled with meat, but the housekeeper prefers to eat sweet stuffing. If it doesn't bother you, please ask Miss Su to make more. Master wants to bring some for you. Master Zhifu, try it."

Su Yunduo silently looked at Jiu'er, who was smiling all over her face. Although she had already prepared a lot to make mooncakes, she felt very upset when she saw the smile on Jiu'er's face, so she wanted to find something to embarrass Jiuer. .

"Last time, you seemed to have said that your son's favorite meat is beef or venison?" Su Yunduo turned his back to Jiu'er, and put the pancakes of the last few months that the perilla had been unmoulded into the iron plate, a little Said casually.

"These two kinds of meat boys are very fond of." Jiu'er still replied with a smile, not aware of Su Yunduo's secret intentions.

"It's a pity that there is only pork here. If there is beef or venison, we can make more delicious mooncakes." Su Yunduo sighed pretending to regret.

"What's so difficult about this! Beef and venison may be difficult for ordinary people to eat, but it is common in our Zhen Guogong's mansion. Miss Su, wait, I will find the housekeeper to go!" In high spirits, the person had already left the kitchen before the words landed.

Su Yunduo looked at Jiu'er's distant figure with his mouth half open, and suddenly felt as if he was lifting a rock and hitting himself in the foot.

"Miss Su, do you think this can be turned over?" Zisu's voice brought back Su Yunduo's consciousness. Fortunately, there is still a studious Zisu in the small kitchen, otherwise this plate of mooncakes might be baked by her It's dangerous.

Watching Zisu turn the mooncakes over, Su Yunduo finally asked her doubts: "Can Jiu'er really get beef and venison?"

Zi Su pursed her lips and smiled: "Miss Su, you can rest assured and wait. Whatever the young master needs, the butler will definitely find it, and it is the freshest and most delicate part."

Well, the life of an aristocrat is beyond the imagination of ordinary people like her!
Just as the last few mooncakes were baked, Jiu'er appeared in the small kitchen with a basket. Just as Zisu said, the basket contained beef and venison, the tenderest piece of meat was not much, fresh It was as if it had just been dug out of the body.

Su Yunduo, who shot himself in the foot with a stone, had no choice but to chop the two pieces of meat into minced meat and season them finely, and bake the first batch of mooncakes stuffed with beef and venison before Lu Jinkang went to the banquet. As required, take four mooncakes filled with pork and five kernels, and put them in exquisite food boxes, and ask Jiu'er to send them to the study first.

Because there are only two types of molds, when Su Yunduo made beef and venison stuffing, he specially made different marks to show the difference.

After a short break and a few mouthfuls of rice, Su Yunduo decided to bake all the mooncakes in one go.

Just like that, Su Yunduo forgot all about watching the moon and watching the lanterns. He and Zisu worked together until the end of the Xu Dynasty and finally finished baking all the mooncakes. The beef bone broth was washed and I fell asleep.

When Jiu'er excitedly brought beef mooncakes and venison mooncakes to Lu Jinkang, he thought he would be praised by his master, but was severely whipped by Lu Jinkang who had just returned from the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the government office.

Jiu'er felt aggrieved, and complained to the housekeeper behind Lu Jinkang's back.

The butler shook his head when he heard this, and said with a look of resentment: "Does our young master want anything? Even if you are rare about Miss Su's mooncakes, there is no reason for people to rush to make them. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival anyway. Miss Su It’s rare to come to Fucheng, and you let people hide in the small kitchen to make moon cakes?! It’s a good Mid-Autumn Festival, Miss Su is so tired that she can’t even eat a meal, she doesn’t appreciate the moon, she doesn’t look at the lights, who do you think you are worthy of? ! No wonder the son is angry!"

"Miss Su didn't say she was going to watch the moon and see the lanterns!" Jiu'er whispered.

The housekeeper looked at Jiu'er as if he was looking at a fool, and after a while, he stretched out his hand and patted Jiu'er's head hard, sighing with disgust, "Could it be that your head is filled with pig's brains?!"

Jiu'er rubbed his head, and retorted unhappily: "If I am a pig's brain and you are my uncle, wouldn't it be the same as a pig's brain!"

The housekeeper was so angry that he reached out to pat him on the head again, but Jiu'er dodged it and ran away in a hurry.

Seeing Jiu'er running away, the housekeeper really couldn't laugh or cry, and fortunately, the young master is not as a dandy as rumored outside, otherwise, how could Jiu'er, who has no eyesight, keep following the young master?
I have to write a letter to my eldest brother, asking my eldest brother to teach this kid well. If this continues, the little affection I grew up with my son will be wiped out.
