Chapter 56 I don’t know the moon when I am young (2)
Mother Yu hesitated for a while, then took out a small cake and asked her son, "How about giving it a try?"
"Mom, you are my own mother, why can't you give your lovely son a taste first?" Yu Yuan wailed and backed away, only stopping when he was at a safe distance.
"You stinky boy..." Yu's mother laughed, pretending to hit him. Does she, the real mother, want to poison her son?
After being cold, Hu Cake looks a bit like alkaline bread, but the texture is not as dense as bread. When you bite into it, the skin is soft and the inside is soft. Mother Yu took a bite and couldn't stop, so she took another bite. There was a faint smell of flour and only a hint of honey.
It's sweet, seems to have a little salty taste, and it feels like sesame seeds are included.
It suits her taste quite well.
She finished the biscuit in her hand in a few mouthfuls, and then moved on to another one.
"Slow down!" Yu Yuan saw all his mother's movements and expressions, and the doubts in his heart disappeared instantly, and he quickly stopped his mother's movements.
He couldn't help but remind: "I have to take it to school tomorrow..." Show off. He didn't say the last two words, for fear that the feather duster would appear out of thin air again. According to his understanding of his mother, even if he mentioned it, he would only be stingy.
Just give him one or two. If you don't mention it, you won't even give it to him.
If he makes trouble, his mother will tell him worriedly: "I don't have enough food at home, how can I take advantage of others?"
Mother Yu had an unfinished expression on her face as she recollected the aftertaste in her mouth. After struggling for a long time, she reluctantly touched two and threw them into his arms. She said sadly: "Save some food."
Yu Yuan clutched the wrapping paper and saw his mother switching to another big moon cake, and couldn't help but said: "Dad is not back yet -"
You look like you want to eat alone...
Really ugly!
Yu’s mother thought something was wrong. What does Yu Jianguo’s presence at home have to do with whether she eats or not? It’s not like she didn’t leave it to him, so why was she frightened by her son’s words?
And who is he looking down on with that expression?
Is Liu Liping the kind of selfish person who eats in secret?
Thinking of this, Mother Yu turned around and went to find the feather duster...
Yu Jianguo arrived home a quarter of an hour earlier than usual. As soon as he entered the house, his wife and son each occupied their own territory. When they saw him, they looked at each other and snorted coldly.
Yo--
Did this mean that it had just experienced a world war and entered a cooling-off period?
"What's wrong?" Yu Jianguo asked.
This sweet and caring voice was like a ray of spring breeze, which instantly warmed the heart of the child Yu Yuan. He subconsciously called daddy, pursed his lips and began to drop the golden beans.
Now Yu Jianguo became nervous. He picked up his son and turned to his gloomy wife: "What's wrong with you?"
Speaking of this, Yu’s mother was furious: “Ask him yourself.”
Yu Jianguo shifted his gaze to his son's face again.
Yu Yuan squirmed in his father's arms like a worm for a long time before whispering: "I just said she is a bit ugly."
"That's not what you said. You said I was ugly! You also said I was eating alone behind your father's back!" Do you want me to beat him?
Yu Jianguo snickered in his heart, but he still wanted to be a peacemaker with an uncontrollable smile on his face. He taught his son: "You can't talk about mom like that!"
It wasn't until Yu Jianguo saw the mooncakes sent by Yu Jian that he fully understood the reason for the dispute.
He took a Hu cake and observed it carefully and said: "Son, look, this is the earliest moon cake in China, which originated from the Tang Dynasty. To be more precise, its name is Hu cake. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty felt that this name was inappropriate.
It sounds good, so it was changed to mooncakes. Do you remember the TV series we watched two days ago? This was in it, and dad pointed it out to you at the time..."
Unexpectedly, his daughter actually made the most original mooncake. He opened the package and took a bite. He was instantly fascinated by the taste and felt a very tough friction between his teeth.
He was intoxicated and heard a huge swallowing sound not far away.
His son was looking at him eagerly. To be precise, he was staring at the half piece of mooncake in his hand. He swallowed it in his mouth, not even missing the sesame seeds that fell on his clothes.
Yu Yuan wanted to cry again... Until now, except for the two mooncakes he was going to take to school tomorrow, he hadn't even eaten the crumbs.
If he had known...he wouldn't be angry with his mother...
…
"This is the oldest moon cake in China, and its name is Hu cake. According to legend, the Tang Dynasty..." Yu Yuan, a child wearing overalls, stood on the podium and recited word by word the explanation he had finally memorized last night.
word.
By the way, I felt the adoring eyes of a group of children sitting below.
Even the way the kindergarten teacher looked at him changed, and he felt that there was light inside.
The kid Yu Yuan, who thought he was awesome, curled up his lips and showed off his knowledge even harder.
He held the mooncake in his palm and showed it to his friends: "This is made by my sister. She lives in Raoxiang. She is very good at cooking and has good academic performance." He did not forget to show off his sister.
The little girl with pigtails raised her hand and asked: "Shouldn't mooncakes have stuffing inside? Like this..." After saying this, she took out her mooncake. The green dough was engraved with complicated patterns. This was the most beautiful thing.
Popular snowskin mooncakes filled with sweet chocolate.
Then the chubby little boy also raised his hand: "No, no, mooncakes should be made of puff pastry, like this!" He also raised his own moon cake, and pieces of puff pastry rose up on the surface of the white and plump moon cake.
An unknown word was written in the middle circle.
Then, all the children in the class raised their hands...
So speechless!
Child Yu Yuan slumped his shoulders in frustration. He said that this was the oldest and oldest mooncake, which meant that what he had here was the ancestor of all mooncakes.
As a result, after talking for a long time, we were playing the piano to others.
He walked down the podium step by step with heavy steps, just wanting to find a place to quietly eat the moon cake in his hand.
The kindergarten teacher began to organize discipline and asked the children to calm down. Then he called the little guy's name: "Yu Yuan, come up." Let him stand on the podium again.
The teacher touched his head and began to praise him: "What little Yu Yuan said is absolutely right. His mooncakes are much older than other children's mooncakes. Of course, the mooncakes you have are also mooncakes. Our country is vast and rich in resources, and everyone
Every place has its own preferences. But I think we should give Yu Yuan a round of applause for letting us see what the original mooncakes looked like thousands of years ago."
As soon as the teacher finished speaking, there was a warm round of applause.
Even though his eyes were still confused and confused, he suddenly felt that little Yu Yuan was really awesome...
Yu Yuan touched his head sheepishly, feeling happy.
It turns out that this is what his sister said about showing off, and it feels really good...
