The moon is full on August 15th, and the Mid-Autumn mooncakes are fragrant and sweet.
How can it be considered a good Mid-Autumn Festival without mooncakes?
What's more, this year is a special Mid-Autumn Festival.
A rare first reunion day.
Mooncakes are still very much needed.
However, in this era, mooncakes are always a hot commodity no matter when they are released.
Tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival. If you want to buy mooncakes, you may not be able to buy them.
Ye Liuqing didn't want to go to the department store at all.
Why rush to queue up when you can’t get the mooncakes anyway?
Ye Liuqing was going to the supply and marketing cooperative today, but not to buy mooncakes.
She went to buy fillings for mooncakes.
She can’t grab the mooncakes, but she can do this!
It’s not possible to make something too complicated, but you can still make snow skin mooncakes.
After getting up early in the morning, Ye Liuqing rushed to the supply and marketing cooperative.
There are so many people in the Tian family, so they have to make a lot of mooncakes.
We have to hurry.
As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, the supply and marketing cooperative is crowded with people.
A long line stretched from the supply and marketing cooperative to the end of the street. Everyone was waiting in line to buy mooncakes.
Fortunately, the queue for buying mooncakes is not the same as the queue for buying other things.
Otherwise, Ye Liuqing would definitely turn around and leave, heading for the black market.
Ye Liuqing rushed to the counter and quickly told the waiter what he wanted to buy.
Glutinous rice flour, sticky rice flour, sugar, milk powder, red beans.
When the comrades from the supply and marketing cooperative saw that Ye Liuqing had bought so many things, they couldn't hide the smiles on their faces.
You won’t know how expensive these materials are unless you buy them.
Ye Liuqing paid very readily.
She is a woman with countless little goldfish lying in her space.
She can still afford this money.
When Ye Liuqing returned to the Tian family with a bunch of things, everyone happened to be in the yard.
Everyone became curious when they saw Ye Liuqing coming back carrying so many things.
Old Man Tian hurried forward and wanted to help Ye Liuqing take the things off his shoulders.
"Grandpa, no need, I can do it myself."
“Not heavy at all.”
Before Old Man Tian came over, Ye Liuqing carried the things into the kitchen by himself.
The action was quick and decisive.
Old man Tian wanted to lend a hand, but his hands were empty.
"Is it heavy? Next time you want to buy something, tell your brothers and let them get it."
"Qing girl, why are you buying these things?" Old Mrs. Tian looked at her eldest granddaughter curiously.
"Grandma, I'm going to make you something delicious."
"As for what kind of delicious food it is, you'll know in a moment."
"For now, keep it secret for now."
Ye Liuqing winked at Old Lady Tian.
"Okay then. I'll wait."
Old Mrs. Tian sat aside, watching eagerly.
"Little sister, let me help you."
"I'm coming too."
Ye Jianhua and Ye Jianjun walked into the kitchen to help very consciously.
Ye Liuqing first washed the red beans and put them into a large iron pot to boil.
It takes a long time to cook red beans. The red beans have to be cooked into red bean paste.
Then, Ye Liuqing found a clean basin, poured milk powder, powdered sugar, glutinous rice flour, sticky rice flour into the basin, added water and stirred evenly to form a thin batter.
In fact, some clear noodles should be added.
But, not in this era!
So, Ye Liuqing had no choice but to hold on.
Not adding wheat flour will not affect the taste at all, it will only affect the appearance.
But it doesn’t matter if it’s for my family to eat.
Ye Liuqing sifted the mixed thin batter, let it sit for half an hour, then put it into the steamer and steamed it over high heat for about twenty minutes.
After the batter was cooked, Ye Liuqing stirred it vigorously with chopsticks. As he stirred, the dough became smoother. After the dough cooled, it became ice skin.
The red beans in the pot are almost cooked and have become soft.
Ye Liuqing poured some sugar in and crushed the red beans into red bean paste with a spatula.
The rich aroma of red beans filled the kitchen.
Old Mrs. Tian and Old Man Tian stood by the stove and took a deep breath.
"Qing girl, this stuff smells so good!"
"That's right."
The smile on Ye Liuqing's face became even brighter. "Grandma, Grandpa, wait a minute. The mooncakes are ready and they will be even more fragrant."
Everything is ready.
Ye Liuqing took a small piece of ice skin the size of an egg, pressed it into a pancake shape with his hands, then put a spoonful of red bean filling in it, wrapped it up tightly, and dipped it in cooked glutinous rice flour.
The Tian family has molds for making mung bean cakes.
Ye Liuqing dipped the mold into cooked glutinous rice flour to prevent it from sticking.
Then, he put the small round balls into the small mold, pressed and rolled them with a rolling pin, and one was done.
Ye Liuqing followed the same method and made three in a row. After pressing them into the mold, he turned the mold upside down and knocked out the mooncakes.
The white and glutinous little mooncakes have beautiful patterns on them, such as flowers, birds, insects and fish, which look particularly festive.
Ye Liuqing continued his efforts and after making six, he put them on a plate and handed it to Old Man Tian and Old Lady Tian.
"Is that all?"
"No need to cook?"
Old Man Tian and Old Lady Tian found it very strange.
"No, that's fine."
"Come on, Grandpa, Grandma, try it."
Ye Liuqing passed the plates to everyone.
"Dad, Mom, you guys try it too."
"See how it tastes?"
Ye Liuqing is still very confident about this snow skin mooncake.
Old Man Tian, Old Lady Tian, Ye Dagang and Liu Cuilan each took one and tasted it.
The texture is soft, smooth and elastic.
Refreshing, not cloyingly sweet.
tasty.
Old Man Tian and Old Lady Tian's eyes lit up.
"Qing girl, the mooncake you made is delicious."
"I'll have another one."
Old Man Tian and Old Lady Tian demonstrated through their actions what delicious food means.
Ye Dagang didn't say anything to Liu Cuilan, but the expressions on their faces said it all.
Ye Jianhua and Ye Jianjun stood aside, their mouths watering with envy.
After Liu Cuilan finished the last bite of mooncake, she rolled up her sleeves and helped Ye Liuqing make mooncakes.
Ye Jianhua and Ye Jianjun looked at each other, and the two brothers rolled up their sleeves and worked together.
This snow skin mooncake is easy to make and they can make it.
Do it yourself and you will have enough food and clothing.
Ye Jianjun doesn't need any beautiful appearance.
Wrap the red bean filling with the dough and stuff it directly into your mouth.
The glutinous texture, coupled with the dense red beans, is simply delicious.
"tasty."
Liu Cuilan couldn't help but reach out and slapped Ye Jianjun lightly.
"You're a greedy person, you don't have good table manners."
Ye Jianjun was chewing a snowy mooncake, not panicking at all.
"I'm saving my little sister some effort."
Ye Liuqing quickly made a few more, put them on a plate, and handed them to Old Man Tian and Old Lady Tian.
"Grandpa, grandma, eat whatever you like."
"The mooncakes we made today are much older."
"It will allow you to achieve mooncake freedom."
