The happy life of the embroidered girl in space

Chapter 79
Mrs. Li sifts the flour first, takes out a bowl-sized hole in the flour, pours in the syrup made yesterday, then pours in the alkaline water and the syrup and mixes well, then puts in the oil and stirs, and then gradually mixes in flour, mix well and knead.

Ning Yuyao, who was the supervisor, watched the steps of making moon cakes that she had never seen before. In her previous life, she could just go to the supermarket to buy moon cakes. She would never make such dim sum, so Ning Yuyao On the contrary, I maintain a strong sense of curiosity. After all, in the world of foodies, one must not only be able to eat but also be able to cook.

But when she saw that there was no filling in the mooncake, Ning Yuyao said to Hui Niang: "Mother, why don't you put fillings in the mooncake, it will be more delicious."

"Adding stuffing..." Li's hands paused, and then he said again: "Miss, this should not taste good, but I have never done it before."

When Ning Yuyao heard it, it was exactly what she thought, and said anxiously: "Aunt Li, how do you know it's not good if you haven't messed with it before? It's delicious." Ning Yuyao nodded her head and said : "If you add fruit, jujube paste stuffing and five kernel stuffing will definitely be delicious."

"It's so good!" Hui Niang's eyes lit up, and the movements of her hands didn't stop at all, "Yaoyao is a good idea. Let's try it today. There are so many flavors. The ones made in previous years were not very delicious. However, the Mid-Autumn Festival night should be suitable for the occasion, and now it should be able to stand out when giving gifts."

Hui Niang and Li Shi immediately started making stuffing again. Hui Niang and Li Shi steamed the red beans, red dates and black dates used in the red bean paste stuffing and jujube paste stuffing. Stuffing.The two of them were busy again, and they finally made all the fillings and put them away separately, so they breathed a sigh of relief.

In the evening, Second Uncle Ning came with his second aunt Wang and three cousins, and then Jing Xuqing and Li Shi also followed, because they were unaccompanied here, Ning Yuyao Let Hui Niang invite them over, after all, they might be the big backers of the Ning family.

When Second Aunt Ning saw Ning Yuyao, she smiled and said, "Yaoyao really looks like a clever, well-behaved, lucky girl. Come, this wishful hairpin is a gift that Second Aunt specially bought for you, see if you like it. "Second Aunt Ning has always loved children, especially the only daughter of the Ning family.

"Thank you, Second Aunt, Yaoyao likes it very much." Ning Yuyao quickly put the silver ring bell on her hand, and the jingle bell was very sweet.

"Hey, sister-in-law, how do you make this mooncake? Why is it so delicious?" Mrs. Wang picked up a mooncake and tasted it, and happened to eat a mooncake with red bean paste.

"It's not the fault of that gluttonous little girl who insisted on saying that mooncakes are delicious, so I'll give it a try." Hui Niang smiled openly.

Li Shi on the side also picked up a piece of moon cake on the plate, it was delicate and small, with crispy filling, the small cake was like chewing a moon, with crispy and pleasant taste in it.Li Shi, who has gradually integrated into the Ning family, is also full of praise.

After Jing Xuqing and the others left in the evening, Father Ning and Uncle Ning began to bring the whole family to sacrifice and worship the moon.Set up a big incense table, put moon cakes, apples, pears and other sacrifices.

"Father, mother, the cotton in the field is ready to be picked." Ning Yuyao reminded Hui Niang not to forget the cotton planted in the field after the Mid-Autumn Festival. have a huge impact.

"Leave this matter to your mother." Father Ning spoke directly, and then gently said to Hui Niang who was beside him: "My lady, you have worked hard."

Hui Niang thought that there was a lot of cotton in the village, so she went to ask the aunts in the village to pick cotton, so that the family would not have to worry too much, and could spare time for the embroiderers to weave.When the people in Lihua Village heard the news, all the old wives came. After all, the wages of the Ning family were really high. One person could earn fifty copper coins a day, which was higher than the wages of a man working outside.

Early in the morning, the sky was just getting bright, and the weather in early October was slightly cool. After everyone arrived at the cotton field, Hui Niang told everyone to start wearing gloves. Don't look at this job as if it is very simple, but the cotton bolls will be caught during the picking process. The pricking hurts, the gloves are not thick or if you don’t pay attention to it, you will get bruises, and you have to stand for about eight hours a day to pick it. It can be said that you are really tired, so Hui Niang is still on the side. Afraid that something might go wrong.

When many people first pick it on the first day, their feet become numb within an hour or two, and their waists also hurt slightly.Li just saw that the wages were really generous, so he had to pick them together.Hui Niang was in charge of keeping accounts and paying wages. She went to the bank in the town to exchange a considerable amount of copper coins. Quick people were also brought out. After all, such opportunities to earn money are hard to come by. They all want to earn some money to feed the children in the family.

Ning Yuyao calculated that the cotton seeds at home were five thousand catties, and the two attics of the house were well piled up.The grain that was originally placed on top was deliberately moved to the empty room in the small courtyard of the Ning family and the east wing outside to make room for the cotton.At that time, the sacks at home were not enough, Hui Niang asked Fang Da to go to the town to buy two big bundles, and then barely filled the cotton.

Whether it is made of cotton cloth or quilts, the cotton has to be seeded.If only relying on Hui Niang and the family members, I'm afraid it won't work until next year.After thinking about it, Ning Yuyao felt that she was going to hire someone, since the family didn't lack that little money anyway.It was the slack season at this time, and there were quite a lot of women and children leisurely in the village, so they were asked to help, and they were given two big money for every ten catties of cotton removed from seeds.The money is not much, but many people are willing to do it.After all, deseeding cotton is an easy job, and you can also take your children to do it together, and you can get a dozen or so big money in one day.Moreover, the daily wages are still settled immediately, without procrastination.Idle is also idle, earn a little count.Then for nearly half a month, the door of Ning's house was wide open, and many people took the little ones from their own homes and gathered in groups of three or four to remove seeds from cotton in the yard of her house.

When they were finished on the first day, Ning Yuyao checked, but there was not a single seed in the whole bag of cotton.At that time, she lamented that people at this time were really honest, and they seldom cut corners and played tricks.So in the following days, she checked some of them from time to time, and she was very relieved about the others.

"Can mother spin and weave?" Ning Yuyao asked Hui Niang when she saw that the cotton seeds had already been removed, and opened her mouth to ask.

"Yes, yes, but there is so much cotton at home..." Hui Niang hesitated.
