Chapter 93 Making Moon Cakes

Yu Maimai bought back some ingredients, including some peanuts, melon seeds and the like.

Carrying the burden, Ning struggled to get it off the ox cart and put it on the small table at the door.

"Mom, how do you eat these things?"

Yu Maimai pointed to the peanuts and melon seeds beside him, and said, "Peel off the skins of these peanuts first, and soak them in water."

Ning nodded blankly, only to see Yu Maimai washed his hands quickly and returned to the kitchen. At this time, the noodles were ready, and she patted them lightly with her hands: "It seems that the noodles are ready too." , we can begin."

After kneading the noodles, Yu Maimai put them aside, and began to prepare some vegetarian dishes for making moon cakes. In modern times, there are some shaped materials that can be used directly, such as the paint used for making moon cakes. used, but ancient times, not yet.

She pulled out some spinach from the vegetable garden, bought some tomatoes from the town, washed them and put them on the table, and picked some rosebuds from the tree, which were picked directly from the tree The ones that come down are washed and mashed, and can be directly used as rose sauce.

Ning put the peanuts on the chopping board, crushed them with a rolling pin, and put them on a plate. The melon seeds were also crushed in the same way, and put them on a plate.

Mrs. Zhang came back, sweating profusely, holding a pile of firewood and putting it at the door of the stove.

"Mother, do you want me to help? I can learn from my mother."

Yu Maimai shook his head: "First turn on the fire, wait for the water in the pot to boil, then go to the cellar to carry a basket of yams, wash them, steam the mooncakes, make some French fries, and sell them like mooncakes!"

Once again, Mrs. Zhang didn't understand what the french fries the mother-in-law was talking about. While busy with her work, she wondered what kind of delicious food the french fries the mother-in-law was talking about?

On the chopping board, the dough has already been rolled out. Yu Maimai sprinkled some salt, drizzled with clear oil, and spread it evenly with his fingers. For the spinach, sprinkled with a little salt, mashed it, and spread it evenly. Peel the red skin, boil it briefly in a pot, and then spread it on another layer, one layer of red, one layer of green, and a layer of processed rose sauce. The bottom layer is made of brown sugar It is made of peanuts and melon seeds.

Yu Maimai operated skillfully, Mrs. Zhang who was standing on the side looked dumbfounded, pointed to the red and green things on the chopping board and said, "Mother, are the pancakes made this way really delicious?"

"Wrong, the moon cakes made by mother are for sale, just wait and see."

"Don't look, it's basically ready now, you hurry up and prepare the yams, wash them, cut them into thick strips, and soak them in a basin of water."

Mrs. Zhang didn't see enough, reluctantly went out with a basket.

Yu Maimai piled up the dough of various colors, and then rolled out another chapter of the dough, pressed a flower on it with his fingers, and used the remaining spinach juice and tomato sauce to paint the flower leaves and flower heart respectively, and instantly A delicate flower came out, and along the edge, she gently poked a few even small holes with her chopsticks.

After putting the steamer on, she spread a little oil on it, put the finished mooncakes in the whole, and started to heat and steam.

In the kitchen, the smoke was lingering, and there was not much firewood on the ground, so Ning ran out again and brought in some firewood.

"Mother, there is no more firewood in the past two days. This Qiao Mai talks about chopping firewood every day, but there is still no firewood. It shows that this guy is being lazy."

Yu Maimai didn't seem to hear it, and continued to pull the bellows to make it burn.

Ning said again: "Mother, do you really plan to live with Master Li? Someone in the village is already gossiping about us?"

It's not that Yu Maimai doesn't want to, but if they are kicked out now, and this Li Shengwang reveals his identity again, should he save him?
"Let's not worry about these things. I will find a way to make money. Now my family has just acquired 20 mu of wasteland, and they still need people to open up wasteland. At this time, they are still useful."

Ning cleaned the chopping board, boiled some sour soup later, poured it out, and put it in a bowl.

Mrs. Zhang came in, washed the yams in a basin, cut them into thick strips, and clapped her hands: "Mother, are you ready now?"

Yu Maimai nodded: "Well, it's almost there."

In the yard, a strong fragrance can already be smelled.

Li Shengwang came back with his two children, followed by the two brothers of the Qiao family, carrying a hoe on their shoulders, and stood the hoe under the corner of the wall as soon as they entered the door.

Qiao Shan hammered his back and said, "Oh, I'm exhausted. I really didn't expect that the wasteland is getting harder and harder to dig now?"

Qiao Mai glared at Qiao Shan, tugged at his sleeve and said, "Stop yelling, didn't your lord say it? Don't say it yet, what are you yelling about?"

When Ning came out, she happened to see it, and stared at Qiao Mai: "Tell me, what can we say and what can't be said, and you want to hide it from us, let me tell you, didn't you say Are you chopping firewood every day? We are cooking today, but there is no firewood, you are obviously lazy."

Qiao Mai found out that Ning Shi had discovered his whereabouts, and hurriedly explained: "I don't have one, don't say that, we have worked hard to open up wasteland, these two days are indeed too hard, don't worry, tonight I will Is it okay to chop wood by the moonlight?"

Ning ignored Qiao Mai and hurried into the kitchen.

Yu Maimai glanced through the window and said disdainfully: "Okay, you don't need to chop firewood anymore. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will go to the back mountain to see the situation. The ugly thing is that if you are lazy, you have not done it these few days." If you dig a lot of land, then you go, anyway, there is no room for you three great Bodhisattvas under our temple here."

Li Shengwang glared, then looked at Nan Nan next to him, Nan Nan immediately pouted and said, "Grandma, how could this be, the adults took us to the school, the two of them, not only sold it to me Eat snacks, and help us vent our anger, and beat that bully away."

As soon as Yu Maimai heard this, he stood up and said seriously: "Are you fighting with someone?"

"I, I didn't." Nan Nan realized that she had said something wrong, and hurriedly explained.

Yu Maimai held Nannan's ear: "How old are you, why do you still do such a thing? Who told you to lie and deceive others?"

Nan Nan cried loudly: "I, I don't want them to go, why did you drive them away, if it weren't for them, this cow would not know how to bully people, and said, and said, my grandma is not serious , Mother and aunt are not serious, I, I am angry."

Niu Da is Aunt Chen's grandson, he used his strength to bully others, he was taught a lesson by Yu Maimai before, but it finally stopped for a while, why did it start again now?
