Because there was only one hanging oven, baking the mooncakes was a bit slow. After everyone kneaded the dough and made the mooncakes, they had nothing to do, so they sat together and chatted.

Shen Annian was also very considerate and brought tea and melon seeds to everyone, allowing everyone to chat while eating melon seeds.

Xue Dingxiang sighed, "I haven't felt this relaxed in a long time. There's no man to bother me, and I don't have to look after the children. It's just the few of us chatting."

Wang Xianghong, another employee at the chicken farm, nodded and said, "That's not the case. Only when I'm a girl at home can I feel so relaxed and comfortable.

After getting married, I have to worry about everything. I want to make every minute count and I dare not be lazy at all.

Li Shuiqin looked at the children playing in the distance and felt that it was really good to be able to take some time out to chat with her friends.

Shen Annian did not participate in their discussion and went into the kitchen to check on the mutton.

The sheep was sent by Zhou Yin yesterday. It was soaked in blood water overnight and pickled in the morning for at least six hours.

She planned to make mutton soup for lunch.

The mutton offal has been cleaned, and she just needs to make the soup.

In addition to mutton offal, she added white radish and various spices, and there was almost no smell of mutton.

Smelling the rich aroma of meat outside, Xue Dingxiang walked into the kitchen to see, "What's making such a fragrant smell?"

"I'll make some mutton soup. You guys can stay for lunch."

Xue Dingxiang waved her hands repeatedly.

They brought some white flour from home, and Shen Annian provided the fillings, sugar, and eggs. They took advantage of her a lot.

Although Shen Annian doesn't care, they have to remember this.

They have already taken such a great advantage, what will happen if they stay for dinner?

"That won't do, we still have to go home and cook for the children.

I heard the army cafeteria is having extra meals today, including braised pork and roast chicken. I'll go to the cafeteria to get some food tonight and have a good meal."

"That's fine too."

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

"There's nothing to do. Just help me watch the mooncakes outside."

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it outside."

The mutton soup was almost cooked, and Shen Annian slowly simmered the soup over low heat.

When it was almost twelve o'clock, the mooncakes were almost baked and it was time for everyone to go home and cook.

Xue Dingxiang and her friends each carried a bag of mooncakes and took their children back home.

Li Tianxue also brought back some mooncakes, and Tietou and Langtou also shared a piece of five-nut mooncake.

His friends saw him and ran over.

Tietou is also a loyal man. He gave each of his friends a small piece of mooncake, which made his friends very happy.

Li Hongen saw them eating from afar and was very greedy.

However, he had suffered a lot at the hands of Tietou, so he didn't dare to rob.

And they couldn't grab it either. Such a big thing, they would eat it all in one bite.

He chose to run back home and make a scene, demanding mooncakes from Peng Hanmei.

Peng Hanmei and Political Commissar Li were both working, so they could afford mooncakes. She gave him half a mooncake, and he finally calmed down.

Zhou Yin, Director Fang and Squad Leader Hu came to visit the Qin family and brought the kitchen team's barbecue stove with them.

Qin's mother served the food and everyone drank a bowl of steaming mutton soup first.

Zhou Yin touched his belly and sighed in comfort, "Sister-in-law, is the mutton ready?"

"It's almost marinated. Once you light the charcoal, we can grill it."

Squad Leader Hu was eager to try, "Okay, I'll show you my skills later."

Shen Anyui looked at him with sparkling eyes, "Will we be able to eat roasted whole lamb soon?"

"right."

"Very good."

She had never eaten roasted whole lamb before, so this time she had a real experience.

After lunch, Squad Leader Hu actively made a fire and burned charcoal in preparation for roasting the lamb.

Shen Annian was tired after so many days and wanted to sleep.

Pointing to the five large baskets of mooncakes beside him, he said to Qin Zhengqi, "Here are some mooncakes. You can take them and distribute them to the soldiers in the army."

Director Fang was deeply moved when he saw the baskets full of mooncakes.

There must be hundreds of mooncakes in this basket, about six or seven hundred in total.

I don’t know how long it will take to deal with all these, not to mention that she is pregnant.

He remembered that a soldier once complained to him that because he helped the soldier's wife, she invited him to her home for dinner.

At that time, the soldier was ignorant and took the polite words as an invitation, so he really stayed for dinner.

Of course, he didn't dare eat too much, so he just ate three steamed buns.

Later, he heard his sister-in-law tell others that he had eaten up all the food in the house, leaving them unable to cook for a week.

When the soldier said this to him, he felt so aggrieved that he wanted to cry.

The family members who are able to accompany the army are all those whose men have military ranks and look down on these soldiers.

Sometimes when they ask people to help, they are unwilling to even give them water, thinking that people should help them.

There are so few people who can do what Shen Annian does.

"The comrades in the kitchen prepared meals and mooncakes for everyone. I'm sure everyone will have a good meal."

Shen Annian pointed to the mooncakes in the basket and said, "There are so many. What should I do if I don't give them to them?"

Mother Qin also said: "It's all ready, let's send it over to everyone, just as a snack for everyone."

Director Fang saluted them and said, "Auntie, Nian Nian, thank you so much."

His solemn thanks made Qin's mother feel a little embarrassed. "What's the big deal? Hurry up and take the things over."
