The peasant daughter of the crossing

Chapter 144

Hearing what Sanlang said at the time, Ruhua was really depressed. She originally wanted to have a happy holiday, but she didn't expect to end up staying with such a great family member!depressed!

In such a depressing and extremely tangled day, the Mid-Autumn Festival is finally coming.

"Sanlang, why don't we go to the dinner together tomorrow?" Ru Hua asked with some unwillingness to give up.She really doesn't want to sit and eat with those big brothers, sisters-in-law, big sisters, big brothers-in-law, after all, it's quite off-putting!

I don't know how many times Sanlang has heard Ruhua's question these days, but he really doesn't know how to answer her!Basically, he still knows Ruhua's temperament to some extent...

"Okay, don't look so sad, you won't be able to go there then!" Sanlang puts his family in a top priority, so Ruhua doesn't want to embarrass him too much, after all In this reunion festival, it is quite rare for the family to sit together.

San Lang finally smiled when he heard the flowery flowers.

In fact, Ruhua also took a closer look at this ancient Mid-Autumn Festival. Fortunately, it is almost the same as the Mid-Autumn Festival in her previous life. It is based on the meaning of the full moon, and the family can reunite and get together beautifully to connect with each other.

However, in terms of etiquette, it is quite complicated. Ruhua remembers that in her previous life, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, she just bought a few months of cakes and cooked a table of good meals.But now it is good, I heard that there are some complicated etiquettes such as sacrifices.Perhaps, a more complicated festival can show that people attach importance to it, and in this complicated etiquette, people will be more or less lively!

Otherwise, it would be a lot more monotonous to have one meal left in one holiday!
Although this Mid-Autumn Festival dinner is a gathering of the whole family, but according to Saburo, it seems that every household has to make some mooncakes to make things work!The mooncakes were first made for giving to each other, and secondly, they were used during dinner parties. As for the omens, I didn't make it clear.

Why!Since it is time to prepare mooncakes, Ru Hua has to be busy again.

As for what kind of mooncakes to make, Ruhua really didn't make up her mind. In fact, it can be said that she didn't know what kind of mooncakes to make.Most of the mooncakes at this time are stuffed with vegetables and sesame seeds, and the moon, laurel or rabbits are printed on the outside. Anyway, they are probably related to the full moon.And Ruhua struggled in her heart for a long time, and decided to just follow the trend, and she didn't want to innovate anymore, remembering that in her previous life, moon cakes were all bought in supermarkets, so who would make them!But the mooncakes in the supermarket must be painful to eat, the price is too high!

Mooncakes are quite simple to make.In terms of raw materials, prepare some flour, raw oil (sesame oil used here), beans, eggs, and prepare bean paste and egg yolk mooncakes.As for the syrup that is used for bean paste and mooncakes, Ruhua can cook some by herself.In this way, the only other plan is to make the syrup first.

Ruhua plans to make fruit syrup. Some time ago when she and Saburo went up the back mountain, she happened to see a wild peach tree, and there were quite a lot of peaches on it, so Ruhua kept paying attention, and even went to the peach tree on the way. After pulling the weeds, I waited for the peaches to ripen, and hurriedly went to pick them with Saburo when they were ripe, and it happened to be usable right now.

First wash and smash the peaches, put them in a pot and boil them with boiling water, wait until the pulp is boiled and the fruit flavor is almost gone, then filter the pulp, add sucrose to the water in the pot Continue to cook, when the water in the pot becomes viscous, the fruit syrup is considered ready.

This fruit syrup can be kept for a while, so Ruhua still has a lot to make!But it's all packed in small jars.

After the fruit syrup is made, you are ready to start making bean paste.To make red bean paste, first grind the beans into powder, put them into the pot and start to cook them with water. When they are cooked, add some sugar gum (the syrup that has not yet solidified is called sugar gum) and continue cooking until it becomes a paste. It is also done.

The next step is to start making mooncakes.The very beginning of making mooncakes is to knead the dough. When kneading the dough, raw oil and syrup are added. When the dough is kneaded, it is divided into small balls. Roll it into pieces and prepare to make bean paste later.When kneading the dough, you can boil a few eggs in the pot first, wait until the dough is kneaded and the eggs are cooked, then fish up the eggs, remove the shell and egg white, leaving only the yolk.Continue to add the egg yolk to the bean paste and stir well, so that you can start making mooncakes. (In fact, when making moon cakes, you can directly use raw eggs, and only the yolk part is needed. This way, it is easier to stir and taste, but since it is the first time to make Ruhua, so only boiled eggs are used.)
Making moon cakes is similar to making buns, but the dough is pressed hard after wrapping and it becomes flat.After doing this, the mooncake making project has not yet been completed, but Ruhua knows her craft, if she wants to carve something on the mooncakes, it will definitely look different, so she dare not do it, and only called Saburo who is still weaving baskets in the yard.

Saburo is dexterous and has always been good at handwork, so this decision is really not wrong!Because right now she just stood by and sighed.

Not long after, Saburo engraved patterns on all the mooncakes, which were all lifelike...

"Sanlang, why do you say your hands are so skillful!"

Ruhua sat on the stove and went to put firewood in the hearth.When he looked up and saw Saburo, he couldn't help sighing.

"I used to rely on this hand to eat! Is it a coincidence?" Sanlang scooped up a ladle of water to wash off the flour on his hands, "But when I first learned this, I was quite dumbfounded, and I was often pointed at by the master. Curse your nose!"

"Ah! Master?" Ruhua has never heard of San Lang's master. All along, she thought that San Lang was self-taught! "Who is your master? Why haven't I heard you mention it?"

San Lang's thick eyebrows and big eyes suddenly burst into a smile, and said, "When we go to town tomorrow, let's visit his old man's house. To be honest, I haven't visited his old man's house for a long time."
