When cousin Lin Shuang's parents passed away, she was adopted by Lin Man's parents and became the family's darling.
Lin Man, on the other hand, became the sandwiched punching bag,...
Chapter 840 (Page 1/1)
Lin Man shouted loudly: "An An, October 21st is Saturday, you don't have to go and see it, Mom has already remembered it.
It just so happens that classes are only half a day on Saturday, so you can invite your classmates to come over for lunch, and then mom will take you to the park for a boat ride in the afternoon."
Huo Yian ran to the door and paused, then turned around and said in surprise, "Mom, is that really Saturday? That's great. Thank you, Mom!"
"You're welcome. You're the most obedient baby in our family."
Huo Yiwen grumbled, "Mom, my second brother is a good boy, so am I not your good boy?"
Looking at her jealous younger son vying for favor, Lin Man couldn't help but laugh out loud.
She stretched out her slender fingers and gently stroked the soft hair on Huo Yiwen's head. A doting smile appeared on the corner of her mouth and she said softly:
"Wenwen is also my good baby. Okay, babies, please sit here for a while, because our first batch of fragrant mooncakes will be freshly baked soon!"
At this moment, Huo Yixin squeezed over from the side like a happy little rabbit, blinking her big watery eyes and looking up at Lin Man with curiosity.
"Mom, what flavor of mooncakes are these from the first batch?"
After hearing her daughter's question, Lin Man turned around with a smile, her eyes fell on her daughter tenderly, and replied, "Of course it's our Xinxin's favorite egg yolk mooncake!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Yixin almost jumped up in excitement, clapping her hands and cheering, "Great! Mom, actually, I not only like egg yolk mooncakes, I also love mooncakes with fruit fillings! By the way, Mom, what kinds of fruit fillings have you prepared today?"
Lin Man counted them on her fingers: "There are sweet peaches, fragrant and delicious cantaloupe, round and juicy grapes, delicious and tempting strawberries, and crisp and refreshing apples...
I've meticulously prepared ten different fruit fillings! And I've made at least ten mooncakes with each fruit filling."
Huo Yixin opened her mouth in surprise and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Wow! Mom, if you calculate it this way, then Mom made a hundred fruit mooncakes today, right?"
Lin Man smiled and nodded in affirmation, then added, "That's right, Mom made 100 fruit mooncakes, 100 mooncakes with five-nut fillings, and 100 mooncakes with egg yolk fillings.
Alas, if she hadn’t made so many mooncakes in one go, Mom wouldn’t have been so busy until now.”
Although her kiln is very large, it will take at least three hours to bake all 300 mooncakes.
It looked like tonight was destined to be a very busy night! After baking the mooncakes, she had to painstakingly wrap them carefully with wax paper so that they could be given to people.
He planned to send sixty mooncakes to Huo Qingci's people, twenty of each flavor. This way, whether he gave them to others or kept them for himself was up to him.
As for the remaining mooncakes, two kilograms will be given to each of the elders in the family - my fourth uncle, my younger uncle, and my younger aunt.
Then, twenty more were given to the parents-in-law, and Huo Qingyan and Huo Qinghuan each received twenty.
Finally, leave the rest at home for the children to enjoy slowly.
