The next morning, Su Yan went out to buy ingredients for making mooncakes.

Wei Xiaoyu is coming to pick it up this afternoon.

She had to finish making twelve mooncakes before the guests arrived.

However, she plans to make more gifts.

Since she was already doing it, she might as well make more. After all, Wei Xiaoyu had sent over twenty mooncake gift boxes, and with an oven, she could just shape them and put them in to bake without much trouble.

She didn't get back until nine o'clock after she finished shopping.

Knowing that she was busy today, Li Juan got up early to help her with the chores.

Grandpa Li stayed inside the house taking care of Grandma Li.

Grandma Li's health is getting better day by day, but she can't get out of bed for the time being.

She's so old, and having brain surgery is bound to damage her health.

While Su Yan was kneading red bean paste in the kitchen in the courtyard, she suddenly remembered something and quickly asked, "Mom, did you take the medicinal meal I made for Granny Li early this morning to her?"

Li Juan, who was washing fresh flowers, replied, "I've sent them, I've sent them. Your mother isn't so clueless as to be so blind. Miss Tao should be bringing over a bowl soon. Oh dear, what kind of flowers are these? I've been making mooncakes for decades and I've never seen so many random fillings."

She knew how to make mooncakes before she married into the Su family. After she married into the family, the Su family stopped buying them from outside in order to save money. Every Mid-Autumn Festival, she had to make them all by herself. No one helped her. If she was slow, she would be scolded by Old Mrs. Su and Zhang Yu.

Looking back on that day now, if she had to go back and relive it, she would rather be dead.

"Those are rose petals. You'll know once it's done and you can taste it. It'll be absolutely delicious."

Li Juan scooped up the petals, and in a flash, something went through her mind.

The next second, she looked up at Su Yan and asked suspiciously, "Yan, when did you learn to make mooncakes? No, you've never even touched one before, and now you suddenly know so many different kinds? Tell me the truth, don't try to fool me."

Su Yan's heart skipped a beat, and her hand holding the red bean paste tightened involuntarily. She laughed to break the awkwardness and said without changing her expression, "Back when I was in school, we had Mid-Autumn Festival activities. The classmates would make mooncakes together. I learn things quickly; I can figure out how to make them after watching it once. It's not difficult."

The original owner's memories did indeed contain such a story, and she wasn't lying.

At the time, her class teacher was a young and humorous female teacher who would pay out of her own pocket to organize activities for students who stayed at school instead of going home during holidays.

At that time, the original owner was very reluctant to return to the old Su family, so he almost never went back for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Li Juan muttered doubtfully, "Really?"

"Really, Mom, stop talking. If we keep chatting, we won't be able to finish. I've already been paid."

Upon hearing that she had received the money, Li Juan immediately sped up her work.

Once all the fillings were ready, the mother and daughter began to wrap the fillings inside the dough and shape them.

Halfway through, Tao Yue's tentative voice came from outside the door, "Su Yan, are you home?"

"Yes, come in," Su Yan replied, still not stopping what she was doing.

Tao Yue has come more than once or twice, so there's no need for her to be too polite.

"What are you doing?" Tao Yue walked in carrying a plate, her eyes lighting up as she took a closer look. "Are you making mooncakes? I want to make some too!"

Su Yan glanced at her and said, "Miss, do you know how?"

Tao Yue shook her head and said sincerely, "No."

"Then what will you do?"

"Let me try! I'll do it! I promise I won't cause any trouble." Tao Yue looked at her pitifully, cupping her little face in her hands.

Su Yan: "..." He's older than her, yet he still acts like a spoiled child.

One minute later.

Tao Yue happily put on her apron and joined the mooncake army.

However, the young lady is the young lady; she messed up both attempts, not even managing to roll the most basic thing into a ball.

Su Yan gave up and said, "Miss, you were born to never have to do any work. Hurry up and tidy up and watch from the side. You'll be the first to eat the mooncakes once they're baked."

Tao Yue blushed deeply and awkwardly withdrew her clumsy hand.

I spent about three hours kneading the dough and made a total of 150 mooncakes.

25 red bean paste buns, 25 fresh flower and pork floss buns, 25 mixed nuts buns, 25 salted egg yolk buns, 20 fruit buns, 25 coconut buns, and 5 black sesame buns.

Black sesame would be too rich, so she made a few for her family to try.

The oven that Wei Xiaoyu brought was a foreign product, and it had a large capacity, capable of baking 30 mooncakes at a time for 40 minutes each time. 150 mooncakes would need to be baked in five batches.

It was already 4:30 pm when we finished baking.

Su Yan packed six different flavors of mooncakes and sent Tao Yue away.

She could handle it herself, and she also sent her mother away.

Not long after the packing was finished, the sound of a car came from outside.

A few seconds later, a cheerful voice came in, "Oh my, I could smell the aroma from far away. I knew it was coming from your house. I just saw a lot of people following the smell here. Xiao Su, you're in for a lot of work."

Wei Xiaoyu walked in with a cheerful smile.

Upon hearing this, Su Yan immediately adopted a look of utter despair. "I'm not planning on selling mooncakes. They don't earn much and are exhausting. It took me almost a whole day to make 150."

"No, if you don't make them, what will I do with the mooncakes I give you for Mid-Autumn Festival? The ones sold outside aren't very good." Wei Xiaoyu quickly said, "I can just buy them at a higher price. When you make them every year, make mine too."

"It's not necessary to raise the price; doing it once or twice a year is still acceptable."

As Su Yan spoke, she pointed to the twelve stacks of mooncakes placed to the side, "Yours are all over there, Sister Wei, open them and check them."

Wei Xiaoyu walked over and took a look, her eyes lighting up with surprise. "Oh my, these are the shapes of the twelve zodiac animals?"

Su Yan nodded, "Yes, half of them were made by picking a few from the twelve zodiac animals, and the other half are in the shape of flowers and peaches, so it's not so monotonous."

The mooncakes she baked in the oven this time had an even color, a beautiful shape, and were decorated with pink powder, making them look delicious.

"Tsk tsk tsk, your brain and hands are really nimble." Wei Xiaoyu was very satisfied and waved her hand, saying, "Your mooncakes will definitely make you look good when you give them away. I'll have to pay you double. Thank you for your hard work."

She gave the gift to solidify the relationship; the more expensive the gift, the better.

The most important thing is that the gift you give satisfies the recipient.

Su Yan really helped her a lot; she didn't lose out at all by paying twice the amount.

Su Yan didn't stand on ceremony and readily agreed, "Sure, I won't complain about the amount of money."

Wei Xiaoyu's gaze shifted to her, and she noticed a pile of mooncakes beside her. She asked in confusion, "Can you finish all of these?"

"I also need to pull some strings and give a small gift," Su Yan said humorously.
