After swallowing, the aftertaste still remains in your mouth. It is the lingering aftertaste of the perfect fusion of various ingredients. People can't help but want to take another bite to experience this unparalleled deliciousness and satisfying taste again.
After taking a short break and tasting the homemade energy bars, Xiao Yi immediately plunged into his next food-making project - baking mooncakes.
He first cleared a spot in his spacious kitchen and neatly arranged the ingredients and tools he needed. Flour piled like snow on one side of the chopping board, next to it were crystal-clear syrup, fragrant peanut oil, and various fillings—delicate red bean paste, sweet lotus seed paste, savory egg yolk—all placed in exquisite containers.
Xiao Yi rolled up his sleeves and began making the mooncake wrappers. He poured flour into a large bowl, dug a small well in the center, added syrup and peanut oil, and expertly stirred with his hands. The flour gradually blended with the liquid, forming a smooth, soft dough. He covered the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for a while to achieve optimal toughness.

Afterwards, Xiao Yi divided the rested dough into several equal parts, rolled them into thin round sheets with a rolling pin, wrapped the fillings in them, pinched the edges tightly, and rolled them into balls.
After the preparations were completed, Xiao Yi placed the wrapped mooncake embryos into a special mold, pressing them gently to shape the mooncakes and print out exquisite patterns.
