Chapter 55 I don’t know the moon when I am young (1)
"Sister~" Yu Yuan's little chubby little face filled the entire screen, her big round eyes looked at Yu Jian in the camera, and she shouted softly.
Yu Jian was instantly adorable by his voice, and her voice became softer unconsciously: "You secretly took mom's cell phone again, why aren't you going to sleep?"
The child scratched his hair and said, "I can't sleep."
Yu Yuanxian rarely had such an expression. He was confused, but he didn't know how to tell his sister, so he could only pull back his hair desperately.
"Little Yuanzi, put your hands down." Yu Jian said seriously. The child put down her paws obediently, looked at her aggrievedly, calmed down and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yu Yuan hummed for a while, then hesitantly said, "I don't think dad loves me anymore."
Mother Yu originally did not want to have a second child, firstly because the financial pressure was still quite heavy at that time, and secondly because of Yu Jian’s disapproval. Mother Yu was afraid of hurting her child’s heart, so she did not want Yu Yuan.
The results showed that the pregnancy was over eight weeks, so I had to stay if I didn't want to.
Father Yu always thought that his daughter was just a little cotton-padded jacket, because Yu Jian was always lukewarm towards them at that time, so the sudden appearance of a warm young man made him happy for a while.
When Yu Yuan could walk and talk, she disliked him to death.
But if you say that Yu's father and Yu's mother don't love Yu Yuan, Yu Jian will definitely not believe it. How can any parents not love their children?
"Dad has been busy recently..." Yu Jian comforted.
"But, he was also very busy before. But he would help me with all the manual tasks assigned by the school..." The little guy's voice became lower and lower, full of frustration.
Handmade...
Yu Jian thought for a moment and tapped the screen: "What handiwork are you going to do?" If it's not difficult, she should be able to guide you and do it together.
Huh?
Does his sister want to help him do it?
If his sister takes action, he will definitely be invincible in school!
"Mooncakes!" Yu Yuan said the word crisply, "The school asked us to make mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival!"
…
Yu Jian felt that she must have been deceived by Yu Yuan.
In which school would older children make mooncakes? After asking Yu’s mother, she found out that it really does happen. As the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the kindergarten asked each child to bring two mooncakes to school and share them with their favorite friends. Knock
The point is, it’s best to make this mooncake yourself.
So, Yu Yuan, a kid who came back from school, began to pester his father, insisting on being a father again and again, insisting that he do it himself.
Where did Yu's father come from? International Kung Fu opened fire to make mooncakes for him, and bought two for him from a stall outside: "On the day I brought them, I took off the wrapping paper and put them in a zip-keeping bag. Just treat them as homemade."
"
Play it secretly and cross Chencang secretly.
Yu Yuan was a naughty girl, and she couldn't stand him. She cried and made trouble, and was beaten by Yu's father. Then she went to Yu Jian in tears.
Yu Jian looked up to the sky and sighed... The big one and the small one are not the ones who save trouble...
The Mid-Autumn Festival will be in two days, and Yu Jian originally planned to make some mooncakes. Since she agreed to the children, she simply made them together. She calculated the time and sent them to the capital, just in time for the children to ask for them.
During the reign of Emperor Taizong, the Mid-Autumn Festival was first designated on August 15th. Since then, there has been another festival rich in literature and art in the history of China.
But people in the Tang Dynasty did not eat moon cakes. It should be said that there were no moon cakes at that time, only Hu cakes that were tribute from the Tubo Kingdom. They were fully improved and the prototype of modern moon cakes was formed.
Yu Jian prepared the ingredients and started making the oldest mooncake.
Add water, milk, eggs and a few drops of corn oil to the flour, knead until the surface is smooth, then knead it into a ball the size of half a fist and ferment.
After fermentation, the dough became the size of a whole fist. Yu Jian kneaded it without shrinking. Brush the surface with another layer of honey milk and lightly brush with a little oil. Wait two minutes and press the small dough into a round cake.
, outline floral lines on the edge.
Sprinkle with white sesame seeds, brush with salt water, and bake for 15 minutes.
The surface of the pancake is browned, but it is filled with the fragrance of rice noodles. It is crunchy when broken into pieces, and soft when you take a bite. The slightly sweet and slightly salty taste makes people want to stop.
The second type of mooncake, which Yu Jian learned from her grandfather’s notes, is the traditional Fujian-style mooncake.
According to legend, Chen Yuanguang, the Holy King of Kaizhang in the Tang Dynasty, was ordered to go south to fight. His wife prepared dry food with concern, which is the origin of this moon cake.
Steam mochi and taro in a pot, mash them into a puree, add sugar water and milk and slowly stir until it is thick but not thin, and the pot is turned over without dripping, then add finely chopped taro grains.
The golden dough is wrapped in mochi and taro paste, with whole salted egg yolk added, and then placed in a mold and baked.
When this moon cake came out, even Yu Jian laughed out loud.
It's really...a bit big...
There was a large plate filled to the brim, which was a bit bigger than Yu Yuan's face.
She cut a small piece with a knife, and Yu Jian tasted this food which she had made for the first time. It was delicious, the filling had a tugging feeling, and you could eat the distinct bits of taro, sweet mochi, and salted egg yolk.
special taste.
This mooncake actually has three different flavors.
As soon as school was over on Tuesday, Yu Yuan, a child, pulled his mother home non-stop. Even Grandpa Ken at the intersection couldn't let him stay for half a minute.
Mother Yu was a little curious: "Why are you so good?"
However, the child Yu Yuan answered the question incorrectly: "Is there any express delivery coming today?"
It seems that she received a call in the afternoon, and Mama Yu casually asked the courier to put it in the express cabinet. Now she remembered it when he reminded her.
"Sent to you?" Yu's mother snorted.
Yu Yuan immediately sensed something was wrong, and quickly hugged her old mother's thigh and said flatteringly: "It's from my sister, saying it's a Mid-Autumn Festival mooncake for my parents!"
He spent a thousand pounds without mentioning that he had strongly requested Yu Jian to make the mooncakes.
How could Mother Yu not understand her son? She tapped the little guy's head with her long nails and warned him: "Your sister is very busy studying, don't bother her all the time." She turned around and smiled again. Her daughter is so sensible and so beautiful.
He is considerate and hundreds of times better than this brat who makes trouble every day!
The express delivery was indeed sent from Raoxiang. It was a huge cardboard box, and when opened there was a white foam box inside.
The mother and son were like taking apart nesting dolls, throwing one box away and moving on to the next, and finally took out the main character. In the square tin box, there were three layers of brown cookies sealed in transparent bags.
; Two separate boxes were opened, and inside were huge mooncakes wrapped in oil paper.
The mother and son looked at each other. Yu Yuan pinched one, then scratched the other, and asked his mother: "Did my sister send it to the wrong one?"
