Chapter 153 The children next door were crying because of their greed
Several of them knew Lin Wanshu's craftsmanship, and when they met her in such a mysterious way, they were all extremely excited.
What Lin Wanshu actually wants to make is snow skin mooncakes.
Of course, in addition to snow skin mooncakes, she has not given up making traditional baked mooncakes.
Therefore, before making snow skin mooncakes, she drew a blueprint and asked the military wives to make an oven.
Then, she took out some salted duck eggs, as well as taro, lotus seeds, brown sugar and other ingredients.
Tang Qian's eyes widened.
"Wan... Wanshu, you're not going to use these duck eggs to make mooncakes, are you?"
Those are duck eggs!
Make mooncakes?
It was really new! She had never heard of it before.
Zhong Fangshu is from Eastern Province, and she felt more at home when she saw the salted duck eggs and lotus seeds.
"Wuwuwu... Wanshu, how come you can even make lotus seed paste mooncakes?"
Although crystal mooncakes are delicious, her favorite is lotus seed paste mooncakes.
The delicate and sweet lotus paste paired with the slightly salty egg yolk is simply divine.
She has only eaten it once in her life, and she has been thinking about it till now.
Unexpectedly, after running away with Lin Wanshu, she would have the opportunity to taste lotus seed paste mooncakes. Zhong Fangshu suddenly felt that her trip was worth it.
Others are also looking forward to it.
While Lin Wanshu was preparing the filling, Yang Zheng and Tang Qian had already started setting up the oven.
There aren't many of them, so they don't need to build a too big one.
There were extra bricks in the family compound, and with some mud dug from the fields, a simple oven was built in no time.
Jian Hongmian made the fire while Ji Hualan was responsible for making the syrup.
Making sugar syrup is a technical job. Not only do you have to control the heat, but you also have to be able to read the color of the sugar.
Fortunately, Hualan had gone through this several times before, so it wasn't difficult, just a little strenuous.
After the syrup has turned into an amber color and becomes stringy, mix it with flour to mix with the noodles.
The ratio of flour and syrup is weighed in advance to avoid unreasonable ratio, which may cause the mooncake skin to crack or become shapeless during baking.
Fortunately, these problems did not pose any difficulty for Ji Hualan and Jian Hongmian.
Yu Fangfang is the only one who has the most free time in the whole yard.
The main reason was that she really didn't know how to make these things, so in the end she could only move a small stool and peel melon seeds and peanuts with a few little kids.
Xiao Miaomiao is the most diligent. She helps to peel melon seeds, then helps to knead the dough. When she sees her mother steaming ice skin, she is eager to help.
The result is naturally that the more you help, the more trouble you make.
Finally, Ji Hualan couldn't stand it anymore, so she shouted to her eldest son, "Shen Ci, take your sister out to play, and bring her back when the mooncakes are baked."
Shen Yue on the side was not convinced.
"Mom, why don't you ask me to take my sister out to play?"
Why do you always call me brother?
Ji Hualan looked at the stick insect in his hand and was speechless.
"Can you please stop bringing back these weird things?"
Sometimes she would be frightened when she suddenly saw such a weird thing, not to mention Xiao Miaomiao.
Shen Ci scratched his head and chuckled.
"Mom, its name is Xiao Hui. It's not a weird thing. It's my good friend."
Ji Hualan: ...
Finally, she was too lazy to care about this troublesome son, so she waved her hand and told him to take his little gray away.
When Shen Yue saw that Shen Ci was taking his sister to wash their hands, he hurried after them.
"Sister, look at my new friend!"
But before he could catch up with the man, Xiao Jianshe arrived.
I saw him holding a few flowers in his hand and running towards Xiao Miaomiao excitedly.
"Sister, these are the flowers I picked for you. Are they pretty?"
Yu Fangfang saw the pink rose in her son's hand out of the corner of her eye, and suddenly her vision went dark!
"Feng Jianshe! How dare you pick my flowers?!"
That was her most beloved pink peace! It was destroyed by him just after it bloomed?
When Xiao Jianshe heard his mother’s roar, how could he care about sending flowers?
"Wow! The tigress is showing her power. Run!"
With a loud roar, he picked up a few flowers and ran away!
Behind him, a shoe flew past and just brushed his shoulder!
He was almost hit, so how could Xiao Jianshe dare to stop? He immediately ran faster.
The military wives all laughed so hard when they saw the drama that the mother and son would perform every now and then.
We were busy working and chatting at the same time, and before we knew it, two or three hours had passed.
All the fillings are ready, and Lin Wanshu’s snow skin is also steamed and cooled.
When the military wives saw the milky white and delicate pink ball in Lin Wanshu's bowl, they were all stunned!
"Wanwan, is this the ice skin you mentioned? It smells so good!"
And it is wrapped with her favorite taro paste. Yu Fangfang is drooling just by looking at it.
The others also had their eyes on other fillings and were eager to try making one themselves.
Lin Wanshu wrapped the filling into the ice skin and pressed it with a stamp, and an exquisite mooncake was ready.
The first one made was the taro mooncake, which Lin Wanshu handed directly to Yu Fangfang.
"Try it."
Yu Fangfang widened her eyes and took it in surprise.
“Can we eat this directly?”
Lin Wanshu nodded.
Hearing this, Yu Fangfang couldn't help herself any longer, picked up the snow skin mooncake and took a bite.
The milky-flavored ice skin wrapped with soft, glutinous and sweet taro filling was so delicious that Yu Fangfang almost cried.
"How can there be such delicious mooncakes?"
The unique taste captured her at once.
Seeing how much she was enjoying the meal, Tang Qian couldn't help swallowing her saliva.
"Wan Shu, you can't be so partial, giving it to her and not giving it to me!"
She also wants snowy mooncakes! She wants mung bean and walnut flavors!
Lin Wanshu did not let them down and soon gave each of them a mooncake.
The baked mooncakes are not ready yet, but everyone is already eating the novel snow skin mooncakes, and everyone is very satisfied.
Soon, the children came back.
Lin Wanshu also gave one to each of them.
The children went out happily holding the mooncakes.
And they didn't just eat it directly, but showed it off everywhere in the family compound.
Where else have other children seen such novel and beautiful mooncakes? They were all crying with greed.
They all ran to the threshing ground to find their mothers, crying and making a fuss, insisting that they make snow skin mooncakes.
Have you ever heard of snow skin mooncakes?
In this day and age, people are happy just to be able to eat five-nut mooncakes. Who would be picky?
But the children didn't listen at all and insisted on eating snow skin mooncakes no matter what.
Especially the daughter of He Wenzhu, she loves face the most.
Seeing that other children had such exquisite mooncakes but she didn’t, she squatted on the ground and cried.
In the end, He Wenzhu had no choice but to ask around to find out where the snow skin mooncakes came from.
"Director He, I found out that this snowy mooncake was made by Comrade Lin Wanshu."
