The journey of giving birth to a son

Chapter 25 The mooncakes were sold to the Hou Mansion

Yue Ya and her brother were pushed to the ground, and her brother cried "Wow".

"I tell you, this is our territory, don't let us see you in the future!" the little beggar leader said, clenching his fists.

"Why, I came here first to deliver moon cakes, so I won't leave." Yue Ya sat on the ground, wiping her brother's tears, and everyone around her pointed.

Jiang Shiyi heard the crying and came out, helping Yue Ya and his brother to stand up, "What on earth is going on?"

Several little beggars said in unison, "She stole our jobs. She is not with us."

"They said this is their territory and wouldn't let me deliver moon cakes!" Yue Ya wiped her tears, "I was the one who came first."

Jiang Shiyi couldn't laugh or cry. It turned out that these little beggars had a dispute because Yue Ya ran too fast to deliver moon cakes.

"You have to do things based on your own abilities. It's wrong to hit people like this. If you keep making noise like this, I won't need you to do things anymore." Jiang Shiyi's expression was very serious.

The few beggars lowered their heads when they heard this. If Jiang Shiyi didn't want them to send mooncakes, he wouldn't be able to make any money.

"We won't fight anymore."

Jiang Shiyi nodded with satisfaction.

In the past few days, the sales of mooncakes have been increasing day by day, and the mother and daughter have been busy from morning to night. Jiang Shiyi thought for a while, and now that the snowskin mooncakes and five-nut mooncakes are selling well, why not make some Soviet-style mooncakes.

Shen Yunniang still analyzed it carefully for her, "Su-style mooncakes, as you said, contain salted egg yolk and meat. Northerners may not like to eat salty ones."

Jiang Shiyi also thought about this problem, but she just wanted to do it, "I see that there are many merchants from other places in the capital, and many officials from other places are from the south. Maybe they want to have a taste of their hometown."

Jiang Shiyi said this, and Shen Yunniang knew that she couldn't defeat her, so she helped her do it.

The puff pastry on the outside of Su-style mooncakes is very particular. They use fine fine noodles, add lard and cold water to knead the dough to make a watery skin, and then pull it into small pieces.

Wrap a small ball of pastry dough in a pot, roll it out with a rolling pin, fold it back and forth and roll it into a ball, then fold it up again, and repeat this so that the layers will become crispy when baked.

As for the fillings, Jiang Shiyi has made two kinds for the time being, fresh meat and salted egg yolk.

Add shallots, sesame oil, salt, sugar, and rice wine to the fat and thin pork filling, and mix well. Add some water while stirring. The meat filling will be tender, juicy, and fragrant.

Then put it in the oven and bake for about an hour. The surface of the baked mooncake will be golden and plump.

As soon as the mooncakes come out of the oven, the savory aroma of oil, meat, and sesame will hit your nostrils. Jiang Shiyi couldn't help but swallow.

Jiang Shiyi didn't care about burning his hands and couldn't wait to take one. The freshly baked meat mooncakes had a thinner skin. When he bit into it, the layers of dough became crispy. The meatballs were plump and firm, with a chewy texture and juice. The oily aroma overflows in the mouth, and it is delicious and delicious.

"Yeah, it's delicious!" Jiang Hui nodded repeatedly after eating.

Jiang Shiyi fed Shen Yunniang something to eat. Shen Yunniang pinched her face and said, "I don't know who you are with your temper. You will do whatever you want to do. Even ten cows can't pull it back."

Sure enough, what Shen Yunniang said is right. Compared with the beautiful snow-skin mooncakes and the brown-red shiny five-nut mooncakes, the Soviet-style mooncakes still look plain and simple even though they have red circles. The salted egg yolk mooncakes and fresh No one cared about the meat mooncakes, and he looked a little aggrieved.

"Why are mooncakes salty? I have never eaten salty mooncakes in my whole life."

"It costs eight cents each, why not eat meat biscuits?" an uncle said after tasting it. Everyone laughed, but Jiang Shiyi didn't care at all. Fresh meat mooncakes are a bit expensive. After all, the cost is there. The north eats sweet food and the south eats salty food. Hundreds of years later, there is still a debate, not to mention It's now.

Everyone gathered around the entrance of the courtyard, chatting, laughing, and choosing mooncakes. No one noticed a carriage with a green curtain stopped at the entrance of the alley.

A young man got off the carriage. He had a handsome face and fair complexion. He was wearing a green straight suit, a belt of the same color and a white jade pendant around his waist. He looked very tall and slender, and his whole person was bright, neat, and very chic.

"Did you buy the fresh meat mooncakes and egg yolk mooncakes here?"

The boy next to him quickly nodded in agreement, "The taste is very authentic. You see there are quite a few people in this family."

There were indeed a lot of people, and everyone from Wuyang Wuyang was queuing up. He walked over and said, "Let's wait behind here!"

The young master quickly attracted everyone's attention, and an aunt politely said, "How about you come to the front!"

The young master smiled slightly, showing his very white teeth, and he spoke very politely, "No need, auntie, I'll just wait behind you!"

When the aunt saw that this young man was not only good-looking, but also spoke very nicely, her eyes immediately gave the feeling of a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, and the more she looked at her, the more she liked her. I wonder if such a handsome and unrestrained man is already married, hey! So what if I don't have it? It seems that ordinary people are not worthy of it.

"What mooncakes would you like?" Jiang Hui greeted enthusiastically.

The young master looked at it and pointed to the snowskin mooncakes, fresh meat mooncakes, and egg yolk mooncakes, "Wrap all of these for me!"

Jiang Hui was a little overjoyed at the time. He took out a gift box, and according to the young master's wishes, he selected the mooncakes, packed them in a box, and delivered them to him.

The young master took out a silver ingot very coolly and said, "I'll give it to you. No need to look for it!"

Jiang Hui was very happy, "Please walk slowly!"

The young master got on the carriage. The carriage moved forward and arrived at Kaihuafang. It stopped in front of a mansion with two large stone lions. The gate of the mansion was very grand with eaves and brackets, and the words "Yongjia Marquis Mansion" were written on it. word.

It turns out that this young master is Zhao Yunzhang, the second son of Marquis Yongjia, who is currently the fourth-rank right-hand censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Zhao Yunzhang walked towards the second gate and came to a yard with lush flowers and trees, "Jinniang, do you think I brought you some delicious food?"
Zhao Yunzhang entered the bedroom, and his wife Cui Mujin was lying on the bed, looking lazy.

Cui Mujin is from Suzhou. She has been married to the capital for more than two years and has never been able to get used to the taste here.

Cui Mujin sat up, frowning, "What delicious food can you prepare for me."

"Look." Zhao Yunzhang raised the gift box in his hand.

Cui Mujin looked at the colorful gift boxes without any interest, "I don't want to eat it.

Zhao Yunzhang didn't care at all and ordered the maid Dongzhu to bring the bone plate and put out the mooncakes.

Zhao Yunzhang carried his wife to the table, picked up the bone plate and fed it to her with a silver fork, "Eat a little and open your mouth. It's the taste of your hometown. Be obedient!"

Cui Mujin looked at the colorful snowskin mooncakes in front of her, and suddenly she had some appetite. She opened her mouth and ate a small piece. Zhao Yunzhang looked at it carefully. Cui Mujin couldn't help but his eyes lit up and he smiled.
