Chapter 35: Making Lanterns and Her Own Red Bean Paste Mooncakes



On August 15th...

Huang Xiaohuang arrived at Qiu Yantang's house before dawn, "Little Ancestor, are you home?"

Qiu Yantang slept so soundly that he didn’t wake up at all.

Qiuhua came out directly, "Xiao Huang is here, the little ancestor hasn't gotten up yet, go into the house."

Hearing Qiuhua's words, Huang Xiaohuang shook his head and said, "Sister Qiuhua, I won't go in then. You give this fruit wine to my little ancestor."

Qiuhua nodded. She had been with Qiu Yantang for more than half a month and knew that she liked to drink this sour and sweet fruit wine.

"Come in and sit for a while."

"Thank you, Sister Qiuhua. Isn't it a holiday? I still need to go visit my dad."

Huang Ling is very Buddhist now. He is thinking about life at home and wondering whether he wants to be a human or a god.

This is indeed a good question worth thinking about.

But after thinking about it for a few days, it gave up. Instead of thinking about so many useless things, it would be better to be a happy yellow fox.

“Knock knock.”

"Dad, I'm here."

As soon as Huang Ling heard Huang Xiaohuang's voice, he hurried over to open the door. The child's legs and feet were not in good condition, so he should let him rest more.

"Xiao Huang, come in quickly."

Looking at Huang Xiaohuang who was walking in front of him, Huang Ling was stunned. "Xiaohuang, is your leg okay?"

Huang Xiaohuang nodded. On the day Qiu Yantang treated her, she was basically fully recovered when she left during the day. She even went to find the big monkeys and demonstrated it to them.

Now it jumps up and down and does whatever it wants.

"Okay, my little ancestor cured me!"

"Then we must thank our little ancestor and hunt two pheasants for her someday."

"I'm glad your leg is healed. If your mother saw you healed, she would be very happy. I don't know where she is now. Maybe someone made her into a scarf..."

It is a day of family reunion, so naturally I think of my wife.

Huang Xiaohuang and Huang Ling, the two beasts, comforted each other again.

As for Qiu Yantang, she smelled the aroma of fruit wine before she woke up. It was not because her nose was good, but mainly because Qiuhua opened it and placed it directly on her nose.

My nose is good to begin with.

"It smells so good." Qiu Yantang sat up dazedly, "Did Xiao Huang bring it here? Why didn't you sit for a while?"

"It left the monkey wine and went to see Huang Ling. My dear, I just went to the village office and saw Feng Sipo brought the mooncakes over. I guess someone will come to call you soon."

With Qiuhua's current body, she can move around freely without worrying about anyone discovering her.

So I often hear people gossiping about the Zhang and Li families in the village, and I have heard a lot of gossip.

"Knock knock,"

"Little ancestor, get up, Captain Feng is here again."

Qiu Manzhi doesn't like this job at all. Everyone in the village knows that this little ancestor loves to sleep in the most.

He gave her this thankless job, but fortunately Qiu Yantang was not in a bad mood at all when she woke up.

"Right away, Manzhi, wait for me."

It should be said that after hearing this, Qiu Manzhi stood outside the door in a daze for about a minute.

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

How could the little ancestor wake up so early? From the sound she made, it was clear that she had been awake for a while.

She shuddered and looked towards the potato field. The little ancestor's house was haunted...

Qiu Yantang got up soon, "Let's go, let's go take a look, then divide the mooncakes, and make lanterns for you when we come back!"

"Little ancestor, you can make lanterns? That's great! Last year during the Chinese New Year, my dad made one for me, but it burned after less than ten minutes of playing with it."

Qiu Zongsheng has a lot of theoretical knowledge, but he is not that good when it comes to practical application.

"Don't worry, I know a lot. When there's ice in winter, I can even make ice lanterns!"

"Ah, ice can be used to make lanterns?" Qiu Manyi looked at Qiu Yantang with admiration in her eyes. After all, there was no ice and snow world at that time.

"Of course, glass can also be used to make lamps..."

The two of them walked and talked, and soon arrived at the village office. The mooncakes were unloaded and placed on a board, in bags, with five mooncakes in each bag.

"Tangtang, this is yours." Feng Sipo directly handed Qiu Yantang a bag of mooncakes.

Li Wei glanced at Feng Sipo and then at Qiu Yantang. Feng Sipo had been carrying this bag of mooncakes all the way and had no intention of putting it down.

So that's how it is. This makes sense.

Qiu Yantang took it and nodded. There were five in a bag, and it was written on it that it was red bean paste...

"It's almost time, Manzhi, let's give out mooncakes." Qiu Guangdong said.

Qiu Yantang glanced at the people around her, and she finally understood, which meant that she was actually the last to arrive.

Qiu Manzhi started distributing mooncakes to everyone, but only those who could eat mooncakes got one.

Qiu Yantang said, "Those of you who have mooncakes should eat them today. We are just celebrating the festival together. Don't take them back and let them go bad."

Everyone nodded quickly, and some even took a bite right after getting it.

The five-nut filling inside is revealed, which is full of ingredients and mixed with green and red strips.

Qiu Yantang thought to himself, the ones with green and red silk don’t look tasty...

After distributing them, she realized that everyone in the village had the five-nut snack, except Qiu Yantang, who had the red bean paste snack, and it was a whole bag.

luxury.

Everyone was eating mooncakes. For those who were not feeling well or were unable to come, their family members helped take the mooncakes back.

We spent the Lantern Festival together.

"Little ancestor, now that we have distributed the mooncakes, let's go back and make lanterns?" Qiu Manyzhi probably had been thinking about making lanterns in her mind while distributing the mooncakes.

"I'll go back first. Go home and find some bamboo sticks, oil paper, and candles."

After hearing what Qiu Yantang said, Feng Sipo still wanted a lantern, but he had other things to do, so he had to give up.

Qiu Yantang sent Qiu Manzhi away because Qiuhua told her that Babao had returned home and was waiting for her at the door.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Qiu Yantang went home. When he saw the little golden frog Babao at the door, he kissed it.

Kiss it until it turns golden red.

"Quack!" protested.

"What did you bring back?" Qiu Yantang asked, looking at Babao with anticipation.

Babao directly spit out an extra-large bag.

After Qiu Yantang opened it, he found that it was filled with candles of various colors, mostly ordinary red and white candles, and the rest were decorative candles.

It might be a decorative candle. The wax seems to be melting. After it is lit, the candlelight is not very bright, and the wax does not feel hot to the touch.

It's just right to use the branches and wax to make a wintersweet in the future.

Candles that are not hot to the touch are safe to make.

Her hands are too tender.

"Well done, I'll give you a mooncake. Qiuhua, Zhang Shouquan, come out and eat the mooncake."

Frog got one piece, Zhang Shouquan and Qiuhua each got one piece, and Qiu Yantang ate one piece for herself. There was only one piece left, so she put it in the cabinet.

The moon is full on the 16th.

She saved sixteen for later.
