In ancient times, there was no word for mooncakes, but they were used as sacrifices and snacks during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Due to the passage of time, the word mooncakes appeared in the Southern Song Dynasty, and mooncakes gradually evolved into Mid-Autumn Festival foods and gifts. Eating mooncakes on the Mid-Autumn Festival
The custom of cakes appeared in the Tang Dynasty. According to "Luozhong Seeing and Hearing", Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty ordered the imperial kitchen to use red silk to reward new scholars with cakes on the Mid-Autumn Festival. In the Northern Song Dynasty, this kind of cake was called "palace cake", and in the palace
It was popular in China, but also spread to the people. At that time, it was commonly known as "small cakes" and "moon balls". Su Dongpo, a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, once mentioned: "Small cakes are like chewing the moon, with crispy and sweet fillings in the middle." The "small cakes" are also
That is mooncakes.
Wherever mooncakes appear, they are extremely single in style and fillings. Even in the 1980s, mooncakes rarely had too many varieties. With economic development, mooncakes have become more diverse and the prices are not the same. Mooncakes have mostly become intersections.
Gifts, as for food, there are really not many. Life is good, and the variety of snacks for children is not the past era where you can count them on your fingers. There are too many. Mooncakes are just for occasion, and many children are not willing to eat them.
Compared with mountain villages, there is not much pocket money. Unlike in the city, snacks are not affordable or available. These fast food are not available. Most of the mooncakes are bought and eaten by oneself, and there is not much courtesy. Li Feng simply did not buy mooncakes, regardless of looking at the boxes.
It's pretty, but actually it doesn't taste very good. Li Feng plans to make it himself. He has a mooncake mold at home, so he just needs to buy the fillings for making mooncakes. He has lotus seeds at home, but he wants to make white lotus paste, red lotus paste, dates, red beans, and mung beans.
We have them all, date paste, red bean paste, mung bean paste, pumpkin paste, and sweet potato paste.
Li Feng planned to buy some oranges and boil the orange peels with carrots to make green and red silk. Although the taste is not good, it is healthy and colorful. After Li Feng finished the meal, he packed away the gifts. There were too many gifts.
, piled up in a corner of the bedroom.
Li Feng sorted it out. Some food was hung in the kitchen or placed in the refrigerator. Some of the used food was sorted and put in the cabinet. There were also some that he planned to sell to Xiao Song Dynasty. Pack them in boxes and transport them to his home when he has time.
The store has not officially opened yet. Li Feng just had the supplies and helped his mother pack up the mung beans and red beans that were dried in the yard. "Mom, when did these large glass jars arrive?"
"Yesterday morning, they said they would drive them out overnight. Why did you tell them that they were in such a hurry?" Zhang Lan used a sieve to filter some mung beans, poured the leaves and shells into the kitchen, and cooked the rice.
"I didn't expect this, Mom. When I just came back, I heard Xiao Can say that Changlin's fourth and fifth uncles are making mooncakes. Let's make some at our house. There are so many children. I think Chacha and they like to eat them.
"Li Feng opened the snakeskin bag, and Zhang Lan poured the sifted mung beans into the snakeskin bag.
"Then what kind of food do you want to buy?" Zhang Lan tied his pocket and put it aside. The harvest of mung beans and red beans was good today. "I plan to buy less of each. There are too many to eat, so try something new. If it tastes good, I will have it later.
Try again when empty." Li Feng carried the bags one by one onto the four-wheeled motorcycle and then delivered them to the small yard.
"That's fine. Li Waizui's house in town is the best for fillings. Changlin and others buy them from him. I think they are pretty good." Zhang Lan clapped his hands and left a bag of mung beans.
A bag of red beans for Li Feng to cook rice porridge.
"I'll go take a look later and see what fillings I need to buy. If I can do it myself, it will be more hygienic than others." Li Feng held the four-wheeled motorcycle and looked at his mother Ye Ye
Now that I can ride a four-wheel motorcycle, I laughed. "Mom, why don't you learn to drive with my dad when you have time? Then you can go traveling when you have nothing to do."
"How old are you to learn to drive? You're not afraid of people laughing at you. This four-wheel motorcycle is pretty good. Both your dad and I can ride it. You don't know that your dad doesn't touch the bicycle at all now and rides a four-wheel motorcycle every day. It's really,
I'm not afraid of fuel consumption." Li Feng looked at his mother and said with a smile. "Mom, how much fuel does this consume? Besides, riding a bicycle is so tiring. In fact, I think it's better to learn to drive. In winter, I won't be tired and ride a four-wheel motorcycle.
It’s quite cold in winter.”
"You kid, what does this mean? Don't you ride your bicycle to school in the town every day? Besides, your dad and I are spoiled people. Besides, when people sell cars, they give away things to keep warm in winter." Zhang Lan rolled her eyes.
Son, I am not an official wife.
"That's okay, I'll buy you another one, one for you and dad." Li Feng said with a smile. Before the car was stable, he started to carry his bags. The small yard is quieter here, and the yard is not big.
, there are two jujube trees in the center. The huge jujube trees cover most of the yard, and there are branches extending out of the yard. There are red eggs on them. Although they have been beaten several times, most of them are still on them. They are all red. Looking at the eggs, they are still there.
Titus rejoiced.
"Mom, let's pick all the dates tomorrow. I think it's almost time. I won't beat them dry anymore." Li Feng picked a few casually, wiped them on his clothes and stuffed them into his mouth. They were sweet and juicy, with a refreshing fragrance.
.
"Let's wait two more days before Bao Bao and Qi Qi come back." Zhang Lan parked the car and opened the utility room. The snakeskin bag was hung on the iron hook to prevent rats. Rats caused a headache last year.
"Then wait for two days, otherwise the baby won't make much fuss when he comes. When I left a few days ago, I said I would wait for her to come back to beat dates, and I promised her." Li Feng picked a few more and put them in his pocket, and clapped his hands.
."Mom, I'm going to visit Chang Lin's house."
"Go." After the bags are done, there is nothing to do at home. Let's clean the yard and tidy up the small things. Zhang Lan doesn't need his son's help. Li Feng wanders to the entrance of the village and walks into Li Can Supermarket. This kid is still playing.
Playing games, Li Feng leaned on the counter and knocked on the glass. "You kid, you don't even know if your things have been stolen. What are you playing?"
"Landlord, it's quite fun. The new game is really fun." Li Can held up the computer, and Li Feng glared at this guy angrily. "Li Xin went back, why didn't you go back with him? It's such a big holiday."
"Who said you didn't go? You're going to be exhausted. There are holiday gifts, apples, fish and chickens. They don't have anything to do there. In the end, they only had wine and fruit. The mooncakes were left behind, and there were more than ten carps.
There are more than ten roosters and a bunch of fruit candies. Third brother, do you want a chicken? I’ll give you one." Li Can became depressed when he talked about this.
"I have a young family. Although you don't run around often, your mother-in-law doesn't know what she likes." Li Feng looked at Li Can who looked depressed and said with a smile.
"She's not my mother. She said it's not strange to be polite to many people. It almost turned into a joke in the end. Fortunately, Xinxin brought some polygonatum and honey. Several relatives and neighbors liked it very much. I haven't thanked you, third brother, for this.
"How about I get more wild honey next time." Li Can said with a flattering look on his face, and Li Feng almost kicked him away.
"You think this is Chinese cabbage. It's just luck this time. Maybe there will be some next time." Seeing Li Feng's angry face, Li Can smiled and apologized and got a drink. "Well, I'll pay for it, third brother."
, you don’t know how difficult Xinxin’s relatives are. I’m afraid they’ll eat me alive when I get married. I don’t think the red envelopes are of any use, but Polygonatum sibiricum and wild honey are quite good. Otherwise, Third Brother, you and
Let’s get married together.”
"Go, let me pick up a match for you. Okay, I'll wait and see. You'd better talk to Xinxin carefully so that I don't mess with you when the time comes." The weddings here were quite fierce, and Li Feng was secretly glad.
Manying doesn't have many relatives here, so she doesn't need to be troubled. As for drinking, Li Feng has already prepared it. Don't be afraid. He has space for spring water, so he can spend more midnight spring water at most.
"By the way, third brother, please pay attention to those people. They have been wandering around these days. Yesterday, a few people came. I don't know what they were doing." Li Can turned off the computer game, opened the picture, and took a lot of photos.
Li Feng frowned. These people came to him a few days ago to talk about buying mountain products, but then they turned around and went to his uncle's house to talk about building a factory to process wild fruits and mountain products. Li Feng always felt that there was something going on here. "These are what they want to do.
What is it?"
Li Feng looked at the photo and frowned more tightly. What do these things seem to be measuring on the river beach? There are also rocks, river beaches, puddles, and groves covering hundreds of acres. These people will not pay attention to this land.
Well, there are puddles, many small puddles, which are just a container for the water on the big river. What can I say? You can't move. There is only the river beach, that piece of sand and beach. Tourists usually play, have barbecues, etc., and there is usually a special
The person in charge of cleaning, whose monthly salary is more than a thousand, is from Li Kouzi.
"Third brother, I think these people are sneaky and don't look like good people. How about I ask Chang Lin and the others to drive them away." Li Can observed these people in the past few days and saw that these people didn't have a good idea. Now their life is just fine.
Point, tourism development is on the right track, but it cannot be messed up.
"No, as long as they don't cause trouble or damage, we can't get rid of this person. Otherwise, if these people make trouble and smear us, we will be in trouble." Li Feng frowned and lowered his head to think about it. "This matter,
You continue to keep an eye on it, I will discuss it with my uncle, Fu Xing and Uncle Fu Sheng tonight, we can only wait and see what happens."
"I know, third brother, forget it if these people don't cause trouble. If they do, I'll let them have a try." Li Can has been around since he was a child, opening a shop on the street. You are not an honest person. He knows a lot of people, and he has a lot of fun.
Quite a few.
"Haha, you, how grown up you are, there are some things that we don't want to do." Li Feng's eyes flashed with a vague light. In Linshui City, several figures flashed in Li Feng's mind, and they seemed to be inquiring. "Okay, people come to buy.
Hey, you go ahead and get busy, I’ll go to Chang Lin’s house and have a look.”
"Well, what do you want to buy?" Li Can greeted the guest, and Li Feng walked towards the village. Changlin's courtyard was newly renovated, and the entire new building was connected with the old courtyard. It was larger than Li Feng's Taolin courtyard, with nearly two square feet.
Fortunately, there is a lot of land in mountain villages, but it is not very good to grow food in mountains, especially the slate land chosen in the village. Li Feng heard the noise in the yard from a distance, and walked in to see that there were quite a lot of people, thirty or forty people.
