Then squeeze the filling in while wrapping it with the skin, and finally close the top to make the dough.
Wrap it with a layer of cooked glutinous rice flour, press the dough into the mold, and then snap it down to make a beautiful mooncake.
Chi Xingyue took out a rusty iron tray discarded by a master chef from the space, lightly brushed a layer of oil on it, put the mooncake on it, and brushed a layer of water on the surface of the mooncake before taking it out and putting it in the oven to bake.
Everyone was stunned by the exquisite patterns.
In the past, I only knew that wealthy families would eat mooncakes during festivals, but it was difficult for ordinary people to make a living, so how could they afford to eat cakes?
Now it seems that the Ling family is really not simple.
The desire of several aunts to get married suddenly faded because they deeply realized the gap between themselves and their partners.
But there were also some who were even more enthusiastic. They immediately pulled Geng Suhua's arm and asked, "Big sister, how old is your boy? Is he engaged?"
Geng Suhua was so frightened that she took a few steps back: "My son is still young, so I won't consider marriage for now!"
"I don't think he's any younger. He's tall, maybe sixteen or seventeen, so it's time for him to get married and start a family."
Although Geng Suhua was no longer domineering, she really didn't want to marry a country boy who could barely read or write.
He shook his head and said, "We just settled here and don't know anything yet. Even if we want to get married, we have to wait three years."
This person seemed to have received some accurate information and let go of Geng Suhua's wrist.
Geng Suhua hurriedly rubbed her wrist and felt that it was red from being pinched by the other party.
I thought to myself that she was indeed a country woman, very strong, and such a marriage was absolutely not an option.
Chi Xingyue was overjoyed after watching the whole process.
She thought that being married was safe after all. Look, her mother-in-law didn't have such worries.
Unexpectedly, just as he was thinking this, someone asked Shu Muyun whether he wanted to marry a concubine for his son.
"Look at your daughter-in-law, she has no breasts and no buttocks. She will definitely not be able to give birth to a son in the future.
My niece is different. She is about the same height as your daughter-in-law, but weighs a full 150 kilograms. She looks so festive and will definitely give your Ji Heng a bunch of sons!"
Chi Xingyue curled her lips and thought, it must be the next litter of piglets!
Shu Muyun glanced at Chi Xingyue's face, and seeing that she was not angry, he smiled and said, "My family does not have the rule of marrying a concubine, and my son is still young, so there is no rush to have children."
In fact, she was anxious, but this was not the time for them to be exiled, and the two of them hadn't even consummated their marriage.
In addition, he had just seen a doctor, who said that he needed to recuperate for a period of time before considering other things. Shu Muyun could only suppress those messy thoughts.
Seeing that the Ling family refused to listen, the aunts finally calmed down.
However, the look in his eyes made the Ling family realize that he might not be so easy to deal with.
All I can say is that people are complicated. They have a kind side, but at the same time, they may be full of calculations and little thoughts.
Before Chi Xingyue crossed over, he read novels before going to bed and was no longer surprised by such scenes.
Although I was enjoying the melon and cola, I still planned to wait and have a good chat with my two cousins on how to avoid being relied upon.
This will prevent your finally settled life from being turned upside down by a few troublemakers.
Oh, and Ling Jiheng, you need to be warned. Don't let anyone scheme against you and make yourself uncomfortable.
Time passed little by little, and soon it was five minutes.
Chi Xingyue asked Erzhu to take out the tray while the cotton cloth was in place, brush a thin layer of egg liquid on the mooncakes, and then push them in to continue baking.
Repeat this process twice and the mooncakes are baked.
The moment it came out of the oven, everyone smelled a sweet fragrance.
The golden and greasy crust is even more appetizing.
Even from a distance, Chi Xingyue could hear everyone swallowing.
Ling Jiheng picked out the mooncakes and put new ones in to bake.
Looking at a pile of round, cute little mooncakes, Ling Jiheng took one and broke it open. He and Chi Xingyue tasted the sweetness and felt it was just right. Then he went back to the house to get some wax paper, wrapped two mooncakes in each, and gave them to the fellow villagers present.
"It's just a token of my appreciation, please don't mind. It will taste better if you leave it for two days." Ling Jiheng was very polite.
The fellow villagers were all surprised.
I thought I had made a lot of money by just getting a bowl of sweet soup, but I didn’t expect that I could get two mooncakes just by watching the fun.
Although it is only the size of two or three bites, it is full of sugar and oil and is very precious.
The Ling family is so generous. How can they feel good about this?
Everyone was polite in words, but their actions were very sincere.
I even thought that it would be great if my family could come over so that I could get an extra portion.
If a whole oven of mooncakes is divided like this, there will be none left.
Seeing that the Ling family was busy and had nothing to eat, the villagers felt embarrassed to stay any longer and said goodbye with their buckets.
The Ling family didn't try to persuade him to stay, but just smiled politely and said, "Come visit often in the future!"
The fellow villagers nodded and moved their legs quickly, fearing that the Ling family would go back on their word, which would be a big loss for them.
Ling Minghao and Ling Weiwei stood by the stove for a long time, but they didn't even get any slag.
Seeing everyone running away, he could no longer hold back and started howling.
Chi Xingyue quickly took out two maltose candies and gave them to them, coaxing them, "How about Second Aunt make you some peanut crisps later?"
When the two little ones heard that there was food, they stopped crying immediately, but their mouths were still pouting, and they looked extremely aggrieved.
Gu Youlian was furious because she didn't get to eat the mooncakes, but as an adult, she couldn't lose her temper, so she took it out on the two children.
"Eat, eat, eat, are you the reincarnation of a begging ghost?"
Chi Xingyue frowned, thinking that this was human nature.
Just as I was about to stop her, my mother-in-law took the lead.
"Youlian, go back to Rongsiyuan and rest. Relax and don't get too upset.
Minghao, Weiwei, come over to Second Grandma. Ouch, your little face is all blemished. Wash it quickly, or it will get chapped."
Shu Muyun pushed the two children towards the ear room as he spoke. Wan Chunqin sighed and quickly followed.
Geng Suhua also winked at Xiaohe, asking her to go over and help.
He was extremely dissatisfied with Gu Youlian.
She thought that the journey of exile was hard and she was mentally unbalanced, so she did that.
Who would have thought that even though they had arrived in Youzhou and had no worries about food and drink, they could still be so petty.
Could it be that his true nature has been exposed and can no longer be taken back?
Looking at the affectionate couple in the second room, he couldn't help but sigh.
She is indeed not as lucky as Shu.
Chi Xingyue didn't think too much about it. She just felt that since she had promised to make peanut crisps for the two children, she couldn't go back on her word.
This thing is simple and she likes to eat it, so she immediately asked someone to fry the peanuts, peel them and crush them.
I stood by, poured a little salad oil into the pot, heated it, added sugar, and stir-fried over low heat.
Only after the white sugar is fried into a brown liquid do we add a little malt sugar.
Wait until the maltose dissolves, pour in all the chopped peanuts, remove from heat and mix well, pour onto wax paper, flatten and shape, and cut into small pieces when slightly cool.
After finishing his work, Chi Xingyue asked Baozhu, "Do you understand?"
