The journey of giving birth to a son

Chapter 24 Snow Skin Mooncake
Jiang Shiyi also put a lot of thought into making this snowskin mooncake. She made four sets of molds for the mooncakes, one set of round molds, one set of square molds, peach heart molds, plum blossom molds... She was thick and thick. I estimated the quantity, and since it was the first day, I thought about two hundred yuan would be enough.

The ingredients for the snowskin mooncakes are even more careful, including taro, purple sweet potato, red dates, red bean paste, mung bean paste, walnuts, lotus seeds, mung beans, red beans, milk, egg yolk...

After some cleaning, cutting, steaming, crushing and kneading, it turned into taro paste, purple sweet potato filling, mung bean paste filling, custard filling, white sugar and black sesame filling, purple sweet potato and yam filling, walnut filling...all kneaded Form into round balls and place them neatly on the chopping board.

When Jiang Shiyi was preparing the filling, Shen Yunniang took a clean large porcelain basin, poured in glutinous rice flour, rice flour, corn starch, sugar, and milk in proportion, stirred evenly, filtered through a sand mesh to make it more fine, and then Cover the bowl and put it into the pot to steam over high heat.

After steaming for about 20 minutes, take it out, dry it without burning your hands, knead and stretch it vigorously until the cake becomes smooth and soft, and the oil and dough are completely absorbed together. Then use a knife to cut it into small pieces. , then wrap the stuffing rolled into small balls into the pie crust, put it into the mold, and press it into shape.

Four shapes, eight flavors, eight colors, worth 200 yuan of snow-skin mooncakes, the mother and daughter cooperated tacitly and made them quickly.

There was a crowd of people in front of the stall, and they all admired the snow-skin mooncakes, which were as bright as jade on the outside, crystal clear, and soft and tender at first glance, as if they were like snow falling at a winter sunset, and you could even see the color of the fillings.

Moreover, the shapes are also different. Mooncakes can not be round, but can also be square, heart-shaped, or plum-flower shaped.

The patterns on the surface are also complex and diverse, including lotuses with parallel stems, flowers with full moon, blooming flowers with wealth, and auspicious flowers...

Jiang Shiyi cut up a round mooncake with a lavender purple potato filling and the words "flowers blooming and wealth" and a square mooncake with a light green bean paste filling and the word "good luck" and gave them to everyone to taste.

The breeze blows by, bringing with it the sweet fragrance of glutinous rice.

Tsk tsk tsk, is this a mooncake? It’s clearly a fairy fruit!

The onlookers couldn't wait to taste it. The glutinous rice cake skin and purple sweet potato filling are integrated into one, and the taste is slightly cool, soft, glutinous, sweet, and slightly elastic.

The filling made of red beans is soft and chewy. If you bite it gently with your teeth, the soft texture of the crust and the sweet filling will be intertwined on the tip of your tongue, making you intoxicated.

"Not bad!"

"It's delicious!" People who tasted it praised it.

"I want this!"

"I want both!" People picked up one after another! There was a long queue.

"What's wrong with you? You're obviously behind me, so why are you in front of me?"

Seeing such a scene, Jiang Shiyi had to come over to maintain order, "Don't be anxious, are you all there?"

"Look! Where is it?"

Jiang Shiyi looked back and saw that it was a little maid who had bought cold skins and ice bowls from her stall before, and bought all the remaining snowskin mooncakes.

"Why don't you leave some for us."

Everyone criticized, but the little maid didn't care. "My girl bought it and wants to give it away?" After saying that, she picked up the food box and walked away.

"Don't be anxious, there will be more tomorrow!" Jiang Shiyi advised.

Jiang Shiyi discovered that five-nut mooncakes are suitable for middle-aged and elderly people, while snowskin mooncakes are suitable for young ladies. They look good and can be kept at home to entertain guests or given as gifts. They are really good choices.

So in the evening, Jiang Shiyi asked Shen Yunniang to add 100 yuan to the snowskin mooncakes. However, within a short time of the next day, they were all snapped up. Those who didn't buy them complained angrily, "We still have things to do." I've been queuing up here all day long." Jiang Shiyi took out paper and pen and said, "You don't have to queue up here anymore. You can write down your home address, how many mooncakes each person needs, and what flavor they want. Yes, write down whatever style and flavor you want, pay the money, and I’ll send it to you.”

After hearing this, everyone thought it was a good idea. There was no need to queue up or waste time, so they started talking about it.

"Don't be anxious, can you come one by one?" Jiang Hui couldn't write it down, so he shouted anxiously. His hands and face were covered with ink, and everyone laughed when they saw it.

Another day passed, and there was no need to set up stalls at the entrance of the alley. People came directly to her house to buy.

Of course, the two siblings were busy. Jiang Kejian and Shen Yunniang put down their work and came back to help make and bake mooncakes.

Despite this, he was still too busy. Manager Chen called his girlfriend to help. The two of them packaged and sold the goods together. More and more people placed orders. Jiang Hui and Manager Chen couldn't even deliver the goods for one day. Okay, what should I do?

Jiang Shiyi saw a girl standing at the entrance of the alley. The girl's home was not far from here. She always held a little boy in her arms. Others bought mooncakes to eat, but she could only watch helplessly. Jiang Shiyi also felt sympathy. I gave her two moon cakes.

"Would you like to help me deliver mooncakes? I'll give you two cents for a delivery?" Jiang Shiyi called her over.

The girl's eyes lit up after hearing this, "Sister, I know everything. I can help you run errands. I don't want money!"

Jiang Shiyi held a handful of bamboo sticks in his hand, "Every time you make a delivery, I will give you a bamboo stick. In the evening, can you come over to pay the bill?" The girl nodded.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Yueya."

"Okay, Yueya, go ahead!"

Yue Ya put her brother under the shade of a tree in the alley. The child was very good and didn't go anywhere. Then she went to deliver the gift box.

Jiang Shiyi discovered that Yue Ya was illiterate, but had a good brain. Jiang Hui told her the place, and she remembered it clearly. Moreover, Yue Ya was very familiar with the capital and knew everything about it. Yue Ya was sweating profusely when she ran, but in her heart Very enjoyable.

At night, Yue Ya actually ran more than ten times and had more than 20 pennies in his hand. Yue Ya was overjoyed.

Early the next morning, before Jiang Shiyi got up, she stood at the door with her brother in her arms. She looked at Jiang Shiyi's eyes with hope.

"Sister, can I help you deliver mooncakes today?"

This is a very obedient child. Jiang Shiyi nodded. In the past few days, Jiang Shiyi has increased the quantity and kept making it all day long. Both the five-nut mooncakes and the snowskin mooncakes are selling very well. It is obvious that Yueyue runs alone. It wasn't enough. Jiang Shiyi turned his eyes to the group of little beggars on the roadside.

"Would you like to help deliver mooncakes?"

Of course the little beggars were willing. Jiang Shiyi asked them to wash their hands and help them deliver the mooncakes.

The little beggars were very familiar with the capital. They ran very fast and saved a lot of trouble. But only one day later, Yue Ya and the little beggars actually started fighting.

　It was difficult to write this chapter today. I searched everywhere for information and spent three hours writing it.
