Chapter 207: One bite of a mooncake



On this day, almost no one comes to see the doctor.

Li Chuntao, Yang Cuifen and Li Xiaodong all went home to celebrate the festival, but Wang Hexian still went to the clinic and fiddled with his new medicine in the pharmacy.

In the Shen family's yard, Shen Yizhi took Qianwu, Kunsan and two little ones to prepare all kinds of delicious food.

Mooncakes are the highlight.

People of this era also have the custom of eating mooncakes, but the mooncakes they made were as big as plates. They were usually used to worship the moon in the evening. Afterwards, the mooncakes were cut into small pieces and eaten.

Eating mooncakes is more about obtaining the blessing of the moon, with symbolic significance than practical meaning, rather than treating it as a delicious snack.

Therefore, the mooncakes made don’t taste very good.

But Shen Yizi came from the modern era and had tried many different flavors of mooncakes.

Red bean, lotus seed paste, five-nut, egg yolk, ice cream... there are so many flavors to choose from.

Shen Yizi prepared more than a dozen kinds of fillings and planned to make more at one time so that he could eat them as snacks even after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The mooncakes are made in the yard, which is spacious and full of lush flowers and trees. Being in it, one feels very happy even when working.

As for the scorching sun above your head, there is no need to worry at all.

The formation is always running in the whole yard, and it is cool all the time.

Qian Wu sat in front of the long table, wrapping a mooncake methodically in his hands, and soon a small mooncake was formed.

He used to be a typical gentleman who stayed away from the kitchen. He might even burn down the house when boiling water. But now, under the influence of Shen Yizi, he has ignited his cooking skills.

General tasks like making dumplings, buns and wontons are no longer a problem for him.

He can do it quickly and well! (Proud inside.JPG)

However, after taking a look at Xiao San opposite him, he could no longer be so proud.

Because they are really fast and good at it. After he finishes wrapping two, he has already finished wrapping four or five.

Comparing yourself to others will only make you angry! Until now, he has not dared to tell his master that Miss Shen brought back a pretty boy butler.

He was timid and afraid that Shen Yizhi would find out and kick him out.

She had punished him once before for telling the master the news here without permission. That incident was still fresh in his memory. If he did it again, Miss Shen might not keep him.

He felt heartbroken when he thought about leaving the Shen family and never being able to eat such delicious meals again, and never seeing Qingbao's cute little face again.

Although the master had clearly stated that they were Miss Shen's people, he sent them here to protect and serve her, not to supervise her.

But since there was a suspected rival in love around Miss Shen, he always felt that if he didn't report it in time, the consequences would be serious.

These days, Qianwu tossed and turned because of this matter and even skipped a bowl of rice.

On the other hand, Kun San was as calm as ever.

Qianwu couldn't help but bumped her arm, which caused her hand to shake and the stuffing spilled onto the table.

Kun San gave him a cold look.

Qian Wu had long been immune to her cold temper, so he was not afraid of her cold eyes at all, and even approached her and said, "Hey, what do you think, should we tell the master about that pretty boy?"

"Don't interfere in the affairs of the young lady and the master." Kun San had a very accurate understanding of her own identity. She was also cold-minded and had little interest in trivial matters, so naturally she didn't have the same worries as Qian Wu.

Qian Wu looked at her speechlessly. This girl really lived wholeheartedly in her own world and basically would not pay attention to other things.

I really don’t know whether to say she is simple or indifferent?

Just at this moment Shen Yizhi came out of the kitchen. He sat up straight, looking as if he was wrapping mooncakes very seriously and not being absent-minded.

Shen Yizi was holding a tray of baked mooncakes. The mooncakes had cute patterns pressed into them using molds. The freshly baked mooncakes exuded an irresistible fragrance, instantly attracting the attention of all the adults and children present.

Qing Bao and Nian Nian had no burden of saving face at all. The first time they saw something delicious, they ran over and circled around Shen Yizi's feet.

"Mom, it smells so good."

"Aunt Shen, I want to eat." Nian Nian was more direct.

The two little guys flared their noses and sniffed the fragrance in the air, just like two little puppies.

Now that Wangwang has grown up, he slowly walked over and looked at her with his dark, watery eyes.

The pink tongue licked it again and again.

Shen Yizi found it funny that every one in this family was a foodie.

"It's still a little hot now. I'll give it to you when it cools down a bit. Don't be in a hurry."

Qing Bao jumped up and down: "I'm not afraid of the heat."

This little foodie is really trying hard to eat.

Shen Yizi wrapped the mooncake in a handkerchief and handed it to him, and also wrapped one for Nian Nian.

Qing Bao blew on the mooncake a few times and then took a bite.

The mooncakes that were just out of the pot had a crispy and burnt aroma. The filling inside was red bean paste, which had not yet completely solidified. It was sweet and sticky. Although it was hot, it was delicious! Nian Nian was more aggressive in eating. She seemed not to be afraid of the heat at all and stuffed the whole thing into her mouth.

"Qingbao, give me a bite of yours."

Qingbao handed it over with a sharing spirit, but Niannian took a bite and the mooncake was gone.

Qing Bao: “…”

Shen Yizhi found it funny and patted his head: "Qingbao, Nian Nian, I have a task for you."

She put the remaining mooncakes in a small basket and covered it with a clean white cloth.

“Take it and share it with your friends.”

Qingbao and Nian Nian accepted the task and went out with Wangwang in a proud manner.

After the second batch of mooncakes came out, Shen Yizi placed them neatly into the exquisite gift boxes she had prepared, and then put them into a palm-sized storage bag. There was about 5 cubic meters of space inside. After putting the mooncakes in, there was still a lot of space left, so she put clothes, medicines, and food into it, and did not stop until the entire storage bag was full.

Then she blew a jade whistle hanging around her neck.

This was a gift from Gu Xueting. It can summon the ground rat that serves him.

In addition to using the Photo Stone to communicate across thousands of miles, the two of them also used this ground rat to smuggle many things to each other.

Perhaps men and women in love like to give each other gifts.

She was like this, and so was Gu Xueting. In her space, there were countless gorgeous clothes and accessories he had sent her, as well as various novelties from the imperial capital.

Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, so she naturally won't forget him.

Because every time Shen Yizhi summoned the ground rat, she would feed it a bunch of food and pills that would make the whole body warm after eating, so now the ground rat is more enthusiastic and attentive to her than to its master Gu Xueting.
