Chapter 839: Untitled Draft (Page 1/2)

Lin Man moved the ingredients from the tricycle to the kitchen, then put on an apron, rolled up her sleeves, and got busy.

She first walked to the water tank and found that there was still half a tank of water in it. She carefully poured two large bags of glutinous rice into the tank one by one, letting the clear water cover the glutinous rice, and watched them slowly sink.

This large vat of glutinous rice will be soaked in water all night, and she will get up at five o'clock tomorrow morning to steam the glutinous rice.

After soaking the glutinous rice, Lin Man did not stop, but turned around to get flour to prepare the dough for the mooncakes.

She skillfully mixed flour, water and oil in a certain proportion, then kneaded it vigorously until the dough became smooth and elastic.

Then, she began to carefully prepare mooncake fillings of various flavors, and roasted the melon seeds, almonds, walnuts, sesame seeds, and peanuts in the space oven, and took them out for later use.

Then boil the syrup on the fire, pour the five kinds of nuts and green and red silk into the pot and stir, and the rich five-nut filling is ready.

Lin Man was busy in the kitchen all afternoon without stopping for a moment.

When the children came home from school one after another, she had not even been able to get the mooncakes that had been pressed into the molds into the oven for baking.

Hearing the children's cheerful footsteps and laughter getting closer, Lin Man quickened her pace, but in the end she had to put down the unfinished work and cook a large pot of steaming seafood noodles for the children as dinner.

After the children devoured the noodles in no time, they could not wait to gather in the kitchen and curiously looked at the unbaked mooncakes.

At this time, Huo Yian brought a small stool and sat next to Lin Man. He looked up and asked, "Mom, why did you suddenly think of making mooncakes by yourself today?"

Lin Man smiled and replied, "Of course it's because homemade mooncakes are more reassuring to eat! An An, you know what? After this Mid-Autumn Festival, it will be your birthday at the end of the month!"

After hearing this, Huo Yian blinked his eyes and said thoughtfully, "But Mom, I see that my birthday doesn't seem to be on the calendar this year. So forget it, August 29th is not my birthday anyway."

Lin Man chuckled softly, reached out and touched her son's head and said, "Silly boy, if we can't celebrate our lunar birthday, we can still celebrate our solar birthday!"

"Mom, look, my eldest brother was born on such a festive day as the Lantern Festival, and my younger brother and sister celebrated their birthdays on the grand National Day.

But I was born on a dark day. Tell me, will I have no future? " Huo Yian blinked his big eyes and looked at his mother with worry on his face.

Lin Man gently touched his head and said with a smile, "Silly child, who told you this nonsense? My precious son is so smart, well-behaved and sensible. He will definitely achieve great things when he grows up.

How can a person's date of birth determine his or her destiny? Don't let your imagination run wild."

Then, Lin Man said as if she had made up her mind: "By the way, An An, when it's your birthday this year, how about we celebrate it properly?

Do you want to invite your new classmates to our house for dinner? Mom will make you some delicious roast chicken and fried chicken, okay?

Hearing this, Huo Yian's originally dull eyes instantly lit up, and he asked excitedly: "Mom, can I really invite my classmates to our house as guests?"

"Of course you can. As long as it's what my dear son wants, mom will try her best to satisfy it. Moreover, mom will definitely prepare a lot of delicious food for you." Lin Man replied gently.

At this moment, Huo Yian seemed to remember something and quickly asked, "Mom, National Day is on the 29th day of the eighth lunar month. So when is a good day for my birthday?"

Lin Man patiently explained, "An An, let's all celebrate our birthdays according to the Gregorian calendar from now on, so it's not easy to make mistakes. Your birthday is October 21st.

So let’s celebrate on October 21st, and this year mom will make you a big cake too.”

After listening to his mother's explanation, Huo Yian suddenly stood up from his chair and said impatiently:

"Mom, I have to go and see what day of the week October 21st is!" After saying that, he ran away.
