Chapter 240 (First Update) She suspected there was something wrong with the food...
After Tang Mingli brought the children back, she sent them all home to her father-in-law. Without even watching them eat, she rushed to the community to check on her mooncakes.
Anyway, with Tang Xin around, her daughter won't be bored.
As for meals, my father-in-law is there.
The three of them came out to make mooncakes today. Their father-in-law cooked lunch for them, so watching the children eat was no problem.
This was the first time Fu Yu had ever seen her mother rush out like this, and she was very curious.
Fu Cheng'an, who had taken on the responsibility of caring for the two children, smiled as he took the food out of the pot and set it out. When his granddaughter asked, he explained, "Your mother and Grandma Tang Xin went to the community to make mooncakes. When you come back from school, you will be able to eat mooncakes made by the adults."
"Wow, Mom and the others can make mooncakes? That's amazing!"
Fu Yu was very surprised. In his opinion, anyone who could make things that could only be bought outside was very impressive.
Fu Cheng'an didn't know if he was powerful or not, but he probably was.
But these are not the main points.
After Fu Cheng'an brought all the dishes to the table, he called out, "Come on, come on, eat quickly, try Grandpa's cooking, and see if it's delicious."
Fu Yu sat up straight and said, "Grandpa, I've eaten your cooking before, and I know it's delicious."
Fu Cheng'an chuckled and said to the two children with a loving expression, "If it tastes good, you should eat more, understand?"
The two children nodded emphatically.
While eating, Fu Yu thought of another question.
"Grandpa, aren't Mom and the others eating?"
"Eat, they'll eat later."
"Oh." Fu Yu was relieved and continued eating.
Meanwhile, Tang Mingli rushed back to check on her mooncakes.
Perhaps these mooncakes were destined for her; when she rushed back, it wasn't her turn to bake the four mooncakes she had made yet.
That's true, there are only two ovens in total, so we have to take turns using them.
But after waiting here, people become anxious, wishing it would be their turn immediately.
After waiting for about ten minutes, a batch was finally baked.
The baking trays were taken out of the oven, and everyone went to get their own mooncakes.
Even though they're all made from the same mold, everyone can still remember which ones are theirs.
It was finally Tang Mingli and her group's turn.
The anticipation reached its peak the moment the mooncakes were put into the oven.
...
In the end, Tang Mingli only managed to make two mooncakes by hand, as the other two had rather obvious flaws.
She didn't understand why this was happening.
Even the instructor who guided them in making mooncakes didn't know.
The master chef looked at Tang Mingli's four mooncakes, which were so polarized, and fell into deep thought.
In the end, I could only answer Tang Mingli: "To be honest, I've been making mooncakes for over ten years, and even before I had an oven, I've never encountered a problem where the same batch of dough could produce two such different qualities."
Tang Mingli: "..."
Look at her, she's even confused her master.
The chef does not recommend keeping burnt mooncakes.
Tang Mingli's eyes widened in shock as she asked, "Could it be poisonous?"
No way, it's just burnt.
The chef laughed, "No, the ingredients aren't poisonous. How could you get poisoned if they were burnt? It just won't taste good."
Tang Mingli was relieved.
Since she made it herself, she planned to take it back even if it had flaws.
The group of people were busy from morning until almost 1 p.m., and finally gradually dispersed.
As for the site, community staff took care of the cleaning.
As Tang Mingli was leaving, she overheard community workers muttering, "How are we going to keep this clean? Organizing an event is exhausting."
Despite the complaints, her hands never stopped moving.
Tang Mingli thought to herself, "It's not easy being a grassroots worker either."
-
When I got home, the two children were taking a nap.
Li Hong originally came to take Tang Xin back, but seeing the situation, she simply let her stay here to sleep, and her niece would take her to school in the afternoon.
Before leaving, she asked her niece to tell her granddaughter that there would be mooncakes for her when she came home from school that afternoon.
When the two children woke up, Tang Mingli relayed the information truthfully.
But the two children stared wide-eyed at the fragrant mooncakes.
Tang Mingli could tell they were craving the mooncakes, so she could only explain to them, "The mooncakes were just baked and need to sit for a while before you can eat them, otherwise they'll cause internal heat."
"Why?" Fu Yu asked, puzzled.
Tang Xin ignored her and blinked at her aunt.
Tang Mingli couldn't explain it clearly; it was just what the adults had been saying since she was a child.
"Sweetie, you can eat it when you get home from school."
Despite their cravings, both children were reasonable, and they listened to Tang Mingli's explanation.
That afternoon, both Tang Xin and Fu Yu were somewhat absent-minded, thinking about mooncakes as soon as get out of class ended.
I've been waiting for this day and night, and finally, school is over.
Fu Yu waited for her mother to come and pick her up. Before her mother could speak, she urged, "Mom, hurry up and come home early."
Tang Mingli smiled and replied, "Okay, okay, let's hurry up."
However, if she wanted to walk faster, she had to take her daughter's little schoolbag first.
Fu Yu usually refuses to let adults carry things for her, but she compromised this time.
When handing the schoolbag to his mother, he didn't forget to remind her, "Mom, hold on tight, don't drop it."
Don't worry.
Tang Mingli was quite confident about this.
The mother and daughter walked quickly, but it was actually Fu Yu who walked quickly, as Tang Mingli, being an adult, had legs that were taller than her daughter's entire body.
She easily followed behind her short-legged daughter, maintaining a steady one-step distance.
Watching her daughter's adorable figure swinging her little hands and walking briskly, Tang Mingli couldn't stop smiling.
So cute!
She thought she must have given birth to an angel.
From the moment her child was born until now, she has never found her child annoying.
On the contrary, the children brought her so many surprises, touching moments, and joy.
Despite Fu Yu's efforts, the mother and daughter still took about the same amount of time to get home as usual.
There's nothing we can do about it; that's just the limitation of having short legs.
But she believed that in her daughter's heart, they must have rushed home quickly.
As soon as she got home, without Tang Mingli reminding her, Fu Yu went to wash her hands on her own, then sat obediently on the sofa, waiting for her mother to bring out mooncakes for everyone to eat.
Tang Mingli understood her daughter's intention and stopped deliberately keeping her hanging on.
These three generations of mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law made a total of twelve mooncakes, which they could eat as many as they wanted.
That's what she thought in her heart, but Tang Mingli only took two mooncakes.
After cutting each mooncake into six small pieces with a fruit knife, he eagerly invited everyone to taste them.
"I made both of these today. Let's try out my cooking skills first."
Because it was taken randomly, Tang Mingli didn't know what kind of filling was inside before cutting it open.
After cutting it open, one is filled with mixed nuts and the other with red bean paste.
In other words, the other two that were burnt were lotus seed paste and jujube kernels.
It's a bit of a shame, but her favorite food is actually lotus seed paste.
Fu Yu first tried a piece of mixed nuts, but frowned after only taking a small bite.
But when she met her mother's earnest gaze, Fu Yu forced herself to swallow the five-nut mooncake in her mouth.
And then...
"vomit……"
Fu Yu really disliked the five-nut filling. She forced herself to take a bite and then gagged, which terrified the adults.
Tang Mingli, in particular, suspected that there was something wrong with the food but did not suspect that there was something wrong with what she made. She quickly picked up a piece of five-nut mooncake and put it in her mouth.
A mother's love drove her to risk everything, even personally tasting the mooncakes to see if there was anything wrong with them.
Everything was fine after I ate it.
At the same time, when Fu's mother saw her granddaughter gagging, she quickly poured her a cup of hot water to drink.
After taking a sip of water, Fu Yu felt much better, and the taste of nuts in her mouth finally disappeared.
She then quickly explained to her mother, "Mom, it's not that the mooncakes you made are bad, it's just that I don't like the taste."
Fu's mother understood and told him a story about Fu Ci when he was a child.
“Fu Ci also disliked eating five-nut mooncakes when he was a child, but I saw him start eating them last year.”
Speaking of this, Tang Mingli also said, "Coincidentally, I didn't like eating five-nut mooncakes when I was a child either."
She only gradually accepted five-nut mooncakes in the last two years, and as she ate them, she seemed to come to understand their deliciousness.
Fu Yu put the half-eaten five-nut mooncake in her mother's hand and whispered, "Mom, I'll wait until I grow up to eat five-nut mooncakes."
"Okay." Tang Mingli smiled, without any resentment, and stuffed the mooncake that her daughter had left into her own mouth.
After the mooncakes were changed to red bean paste, Fu Yu finally smiled and ate them with relish.
"Mom, this red bean paste flavor is delicious, I love it."
"Okay, then I'll have two pieces."
"Two pieces."
Fu Yu looked at the small piece of mooncake in her hand and took a very small bite when she took the second bite, as if she was afraid of accidentally finishing it.
Tang Mingli was laughing.
But she had no right to say anything, since she was the same way when it came to her favorite food.
Although Fu Yu ate very slowly, she finished the two small pieces of mooncake quickly.
The adults also finished the five-nut mooncake, and now there are two small pieces of red bean paste mooncake left on the coffee table.
Fu Yu stared intently, clearly waging a difficult battle in her heart.
But Madam Fu felt sorry for her and pleaded for Fu Yu.
"Let the child eat a couple more pieces; it won't hurt."
Mother Fu also said, "Yes, look how hungry the child is, just like you when you first married into the family..."
Realizing what she had said, Fu's mother quickly covered her mouth.
Tang Mingli was shocked; she hadn't realized that she had been so obviously greedy when she first married into the family.
She was already an adult at that time... but she really hadn't eaten any meat for several months.
Putting herself in Tang Mingli's shoes, she relented.
"Then finish eating, and drink plenty of water afterwards."
How amazing, these words of advice just came out of his mouth.
Do all Chinese people automatically awaken their bloodline after becoming parents and believe that drinking more water can reduce the heat after their child has eaten too much heaty food?
Fu Yu was overjoyed to receive her mother's approval.
But she only ate one piece and left the rest uneaten.
Tang Mingli asked with a smile, "Tired of it?"
Fu Yu shook her head: "Mom, have you forgotten? Dad hasn't eaten yet. Leave this piece for Dad."
These words moved all the adults present, and they also felt somewhat ashamed.
Even though the child is craving something sweet, he still misses his father who is not at home.
None of the adults thought of refusing while eating mooncakes.
