Yang Hang standing by was even more surprised, with admiration that he couldn't hide in his eyes. It wouldn't be long before this man earned more than his salary.
Yang Hang was very happy for A Yao.
Lu Pengfei's account book was meticulously written, detailing what work was done, when, where, how much was collected, how much he took for himself, how much he paid to the workers, and the rest was Chu Yao's share. Even the whereabouts of every penny were clearly documented.
"Comrade Lu, I've read it. What you wrote is very detailed. I don't have any problems." Chu Yao returned the account book to Lu Pengfei.
"Okay, Comrade Chu, if that's okay, I'll send you the account book and share once every six months, and I'll deliver it directly to your home."
"Okay, then I'll need to trouble Comrade Lu. We'll go home this time."
After the two of them made the decision, they left Lu Pengfei's small house.
"Yang Hang, let me pay for you and the babies' meal at the state-owned restaurant today. I finally make some money."
"Okay, congratulations, Ayao. Now you don't have to worry about your family running out of money. My babies and I will eat to our heart's content today."
The family went to the state-owned restaurant again with their bags. They arrived early today and there were not many people in the restaurant. The two put the things they bought on the seats and Yang Hang prepared to order the dishes.
"Ayao, what do you want to eat?"
"I'm fine with anything. I'm not picky about food. Didn't you say you wanted to eat more? Then order more. If you can't finish it, we can take it home to eat."
Yang Hang placed the babies on the same side as Chu Yao and went to the window to order food.
Today the state-owned restaurant served pork-filled dumplings and the specialty dish, braised pork. Yang Hang also ordered two vegetables. Knowing that A Yao liked noodles, he ordered two bowls of oil-splashed noodles.
I didn't ask for anything else.
The dishes were served quickly. Since the two of them had to feed the babies, they didn't add chili peppers to the oil-splashed noodles, which made Yang Hang feel a little uncomfortable while eating.
Chu Yao didn't notice it. She was concentrating on feeding Dabao, and occasionally feeding Erbao and Xiaobao.
It was already past two in the afternoon when the family finished their meal. Yang Hang ate too much and ate all the noodles that Chu Yao couldn't finish. Now he was very full.
The babies felt a little sleepy after eating.
Drowsy in mom and dad's arms or on their backs.
The next morning, Chu Yao started preparing to make mooncakes.
First wash the red beans and mung beans, take out the steamer, put a layer of clean cloth on each steamer, place the washed mung beans and red beans separately, cover the steamer and start steaming the red and mung beans.
When steaming the red and mung beans, Chu Yao took out the fine flour she had bought earlier, poured in a small amount of oil, and kneaded the dough with water made from sugar. When the dough was almost kneaded, she put it away and waited for it to rise.
While the dough is rising, the red and mung beans are almost steamed.
Chu Yao took out the beans, poured them into the prepared well water, reached her hands into the basin and began to rub the skin of the beans. After rubbing it almost enough, she changed the water and continued to rub it.
They rub the beans until the skins are no longer visible. This is a delicate job.
After rubbing the beans clean, pour them into another bowl and mash them into a paste. The red bean and mung bean filling is ready.
After doing all this, the dough was ready, and Chu Yao began to roll the dough into small pieces, arranging them neatly one by one. After finishing the pieces, she began to manually press them into round mooncake shapes.
At that time, there were not as many varieties of mooncakes as in later generations, nor were there so many molds for making mooncakes, so Chu Yao had to use chopsticks to press out patterns.
After doing all this, Chu Yao was exhausted.
After a short rest, I started steaming the mooncakes. Since I didn’t have an oven, I could only use a steamer.
Chu Yao steamed the mooncakes with red bean filling first. When they were taken out of the pot, Dabao smelled the fragrance and his nose kept twitching as soon as he entered the kitchen.
"Mom, have you made something delicious again? It smells so good. Can the babies have some?"
"You clever little devil, you can't eat it now. It's a little hot just out of the pot. Go and watch over your brothers so they don't crawl around. Once it cools down, mommy will serve it to the babies."
When Dabao heard that there was food, he immediately ran out to look after his younger brothers.
By the time Chu Yao finished making all the mooncakes, the babies had already shared two. Chu Yao counted and found she had made over fifty mooncakes. No wonder she was so tired.
I want to send a few to Mrs. Chen's house, and to Yang Hang's former colleague who worked in the greenhouse, and then send a dozen to my partner Lu Pengfei. After dividing it up, there are only twenty left at home.
Forget it. If Yang Hang and the babies want to eat it in the future, they can just make it themselves. Next time, they can try to make something else. I originally wanted to make snow skin mooncakes this time, but the actual situation does not allow it, so I had to give up.
However, the ones with mung bean and red bean fillings are also good.
Chu Yao came to the yard and saw the babies talking in baby talk while eating. Dabao was fine, but Erbao and Xiaobao had eaten so much that they had become dirty little cats. Chu Yao looked at the babies and didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Babies, you can't eat any more. If you eat more, you won't be able to eat dinner tonight."
Only then did the babies stop looking at the mooncakes with reluctance.
After Yang Hang came back and ate mooncakes in the evening, he was surprised to find that the mooncakes also had mung bean and red bean fillings. They were sweet but not greasy, and made people want to eat a second one after eating one.
"Yang Hang, take some of the mooncakes that your colleagues sent to the greenhouse tomorrow, and also take some to your office so that you can eat some mooncakes to keep you going when you're hungry."
