An earthquake caused Jiang Shanshan's originally well-off family of three to transmigrate to the impoverished 1970s.
On the left was their son crying for food in her arms, and on the righ...
Jiang Shanshan had just returned home when he immediately heard some noise outside.
At first she thought that Wu Xiaotao had fallen back again. When she walked out to take a look, she vaguely saw several tall figures walking towards her.
Seeing such a tall figure, the only thing she could think of was the men from the Niu family.
She immediately turned around and ran into the yard to shout to Zhang Xiangcao and the others, "Brother and the others are back."
When she shouted, Zhang Xiangcao, who was waiting anxiously in the yard, ran out one by one.
The four of them were struggling to push an oven back home that was almost as big as the two of them could hold in their arms.
Just as he was about to reach home, he was suddenly blocked by a group of women who rushed out.
Zhang Xiangcao looked at the big iron box that the four of them pushed back, and she really couldn't believe that this was the oven that her third brother's wife and the others had been talking about.
"Can this lump of iron really help us make mooncakes?" She looked at the big lump of iron with doubt, and felt a little worried.
"We'll know if we try it. Anyway, we have the ingredients now, so let's make a few to try tonight." Jiang Shanshan looked at them and smiled.
They did what they said. After Jiang Shanshan and the other four men brought the oven back, they immediately led Zhang Xiangcao and the others to the room where the ingredients were stored and took out some.
Thanks to sufficient manpower, all the steps of kneading the dough were completed in less than half an hour.
Jiang Shanshan took out the mooncake mold and started making it.
After a minute or two, a mooncake about the size of an adult's fist was completed.
As soon as the mooncake was finished, everyone stared at it with their eyes wide open.
The children had never eaten mooncakes, let alone seen them. Now when they saw the freshly pressed mooncakes, they all opened their mouths wide and looked at them.
"So this is what mooncakes look like. They're round and look really pretty." Niu Dabao swallowed and said with a greedy look on his face.
Niu Xiaomei immediately looked towards Jiang Shanshan and asked, "Aunt San, can I eat this mooncake now?"
Jiang Shanshan looked at the four of them with a smile, "You can't eat it yet. This mooncake is freshly made and the inside is still raw. We have to bake it before we can eat it."
At this time, Niu Xianhua stared at the mooncake on the table in disbelief. She looked at Jiang Shanshan in surprise and said, "Third sister-in-law, you are really amazing. You really made this mooncake."
"Yes, Third Sister-in-law is really amazing. We saw you take this thing and press it hard, and the mooncake came out of it. This thing is too magical." Zhang Xiangcao looked at the mold in Jiang Shanshan's hand with eager eyes.
Jiang Shanshan smiled, took out the mold in her hand and explained to them the principle behind it.
Before they could digest this, Jiang Shanshan immediately took out several more molds and handed them to the women.
"Let's do it together. From tomorrow onwards, this mooncake still depends on everyone making it together. I can't do it alone." She said to the women with a smile.
As soon as she said this, Niu Xianhua and others looked at her in surprise.
He Hua said, "Third sister-in-law, are you going to teach us how to make mooncakes?"
Only then did Jiang Shanshan realize that the three of them were staring at her as if they were frightened by something.
"I didn't seem to say anything scary just now, why do you all have such expressions?" She looked at them with a face that was neither funny nor sad.
