I have become popular in modern times with food

Chapter 55

"Sister~" Kid Yu Yuan's white and chubby little face filled the whole screen, his big round eyes looked at Yu Jian in the camera, and he called softly.

Yu Jian was instantly mesmerized by his call, and her voice became softer unconsciously: "Secretly took mom's phone again, why aren't you sleeping?"

The child scratched his hair: "I can't sleep."

It was rare for Yu Yuanxian to have such an expression, he was confused, but he didn't know how to tell his sister, so he could only pull his hair desperately.

"Little Yuanzi, put your hand down." Yu Jian said seriously, the child obediently lowered her paw, looked at her with aggrieved eyes, calmed down and asked, "What's the matter?"

Yu Yuan murmured for a while, and then said hesitantly: "I think my father doesn't love me anymore."

Mother Yu originally didn't want to have a second child, firstly because of the heavy financial pressure at that time, and secondly because of Yu Jian's disapproval.Mother Yu was afraid of hurting the child's heart, so she didn't want Yu Yuan.

As a result, after a checkup, the pregnancy has exceeded eight weeks, and now I have to stay if I don't want to stay.

Father Yu always thought that his daughter was the little padded jacket, because Yu Jian was always lukewarm towards them at that time, so a warm young man suddenly appeared, which made him happy for a while.

When Yu Yuan could walk and talk, he hated him to death.

But if you want to say that Yu's father and Yu's mother don't love Yu Yuan, Yu Jian will definitely not believe it. There are no parents who don't love their children.

"Dad is busy recently..." Yu Jian comforted.

"However, he was very busy before. But he would help me with the manual tasks assigned by the school..." The little guy's voice became lower and lower, full of frustration.

manual...

Yu Jian thought for a while, then tapped the screen: "What kind of manual work are you going to do?" If it's not difficult, she should be able to guide and do it together.

Huh?
Is my sister trying to help him?

If my sister makes a move, then he will definitely be invincible in school!

"Moon cakes!" Yu Yuan uttered two words crisply, "The school asked us to make moon cakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival!"

……

Yu Jian felt that she must have been fooled by Yu Yuan.

Which school will let little children make moon cakes?In the end, I asked Mother Yu, and it really happened.As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, the kindergarten asks each child to bring two mooncakes to school to share with their favorite partners.The key point is that this moon cake is best made by yourself.

So, the kid Yu Yuan who came back from school began to pester his old man, to be a father, another father, insisting that he do it himself.

Where did Father Yu come from now? International Kungfu opened fire to make mooncakes for him, and bought two for him from a small stall outside: "On the day I brought them, I took off the wrapping paper and put them in a fresh-keeping bag, so I thought I made them myself. "

Playing secretly with one hand.

Yu Yuan is a ghost, he is not willing to obey, he cried and made troubles, and was beaten up by Yu's father, so he came to Yu Jian crying.

Yu Jian looked up to the sky and sighed... One big and one small, they are not the masters of trouble...

It will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in two days, and Yu Jian originally planned to make some moon cakes.Now that I agreed to the children again, I simply did it together, calculated the time, and sent it to the capital, just in time for the children.

During Taizong's reign, August [-] was first designated as the Mid-Autumn Festival.Since then, there has been another festival full of literary and artistic colors in the annals of Chinese history.

But people in Tang Dynasty don't eat moon cakes.It should be said that there were no mooncakes at that time, only Hubing tribute from Tubo Kingdom.Manman has been improved, and there is also a prototype of modern mooncakes.

Yu Jian prepared the materials and started to make the oldest moon cake.

Add water, milk, eggs and a few drops of corn oil to the flour, knead until the surface is smooth, then knead into a ball the size of half a fist, and ferment.

After fermentation, the dough became the size of a fist. Yu Jian squeezed it, but it didn't shrink back.Brush a layer of honey milk on the surface, then lightly brush a little oil.Wait for two minutes, press the small dough into a round cake, and draw a flower-shaped line on the edge.

Sprinkle white sesame seeds, brush with a layer of salt water, and bake for 15 minutes.

The surface of the out-of-the-cooked Hubing is browned, but it is filled with a fragrance of rice noodles. It is crunchy when broken, and soft after a bite.The slightly sweet and slightly salty taste is irresistible.

The second type of mooncake, which Yu Jian learned from his grandfather's notes, is a traditional Fujian-style mooncake.

According to legend, Chen Yuanguang, the sage king of Kaizhang in the Tang Dynasty, was ordered to go south to fight, and his wife prepared dry food with concern, which is the origin of this moon cake.

Mochi and taro are steamed in a pot, mashed into a puree, added in sugar water and milk and stirred slowly until it is thick but not thin, and the pot does not drip, and then add finely crushed taro grains.

The golden-yellow dough is wrapped with mochi and taro paste, with whole salted egg yolk added, and baked in a mold.

When the mooncake came out, even Yu Jian laughed out loud.

It's really... a bit big...

It filled a large plate, which was a bit bigger than Yu Yuan's face.

Cut a small piece with a knife, and Yu Jian tasted this, which was the first time she made it. It was delicious, and the filling had a pulling feeling. You could eat distinct grains of taro, sweet mochi, and salted egg yolk. special taste.

This moon cake actually tasted three different flavors.

As soon as school was over on Tuesday, Yu Yuan took his mother home non-stop, and even Grandpa Ken at the intersection couldn't let him stop for half a minute.

Mother Yu was a little curious: "Why are you so obedient?"

But Yu Yuan answered irrelevantly: "Is there a courier today?"

It seems that she received a call in the afternoon, and Mama Yu casually asked the courier to put it in the express cabinet, and now she remembered it when he reminded her.

"Sent to you?" Mother Yu snorted.

Yu Yuan immediately sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly hugged the old mother's thigh, flatteringly said: "It was sent by my sister, who said it was a Mid-Autumn Festival mooncake for Mom and Dad!"

Four or two tosses a thousand catties, without mentioning that he himself strongly asked Yu Jian to make mooncakes.

How could Mother Yu not understand her son, she nodded the little guy's head with her long nails, and warned him: "Your sister is very busy studying, don't bother her all the time." Caring, hundreds of times better than this naughty brat!
As expected, the courier was sent from Rao Township. It was a huge cardboard box, and there was a white foam box inside when it was opened.

The mother and child are like dismantling a matryoshka, throwing away one box and moving on to the next, and finally the owner is dismantled.In the boxy tin box, there were three layers of burnt-yellow cakes sealed in small transparent bags; two separate boxes were opened, and inside were huge mooncakes wrapped in oiled paper.

The mother and son looked at each other, Yu Yuan squeezed this one, then grabbed that one, and asked his mother, "Did my sister send it by mistake?"

Which one is like a moon cake? ?
