Konoha Qiweiju

Chapter 142 Moon Cake
The weather was fine on August 20, [-]

The moon is very round, and my hometown is far away.

It has been more than 30 years since I came to this world, and I still think of everything from time to time.

Unreachable, untouchable.

Looking at that round of moon, the world is living the days of admiring the moon and eating moon cakes.

Surrounded by family members, it may feel very warm.

……

Qiweiju.

"Grandpa, what are you busy with? Are you cooking new dishes?"

Tsunade watched curiously as Zhenxiu was busy in the kitchen, seeming to be making pastries.

But she had never seen this kind of pastry.

"It's a new dish, but it doesn't count."

"Huh? What does that mean?"

"In short, it's a dish you haven't eaten before."

"Okay, okay, I can eat new dishes made by my uncle and grandpa again. It must be another surprise."

Tsunade was very excited, waiting for the result of Zhenxiu's cooking.

"When we're done, let's go back and find grandma, dad, and Shengshu to eat together, shall we?"

"Okay!"

Tsunade replied happily, and then said with a gloomy face, "Grandpa, let's put a piece in front of mother's tomb too."

Tsunade's mother died, not long ago.

A serious illness took her life.

Human life is really fragile sometimes, and death is only a momentary thing.

"of course."

As Zhenxiu said, his right index finger covered in flour touched Tsunade's forehead.

"Oh! Uncle, what are you doing? It's so dirty."

"No, it's cute."

"It's so cute, it's all flour."

Tsunade pouted dissatisfiedly, but did not wipe the flour off his forehead.

"It's even cuter this way. Well, wait by the side, it'll be ready soon."

"Uh-huh!"

Tsunade responded obediently.

Dough, puff pastry.

Various fillings.

Zhenxiu's movements are fast, and his hand speed is even more astonishing.

Before long, dozens of moon cakes were packaged.

Finally, bake.

When the yellow moon cakes are officially baked, the aroma is overflowing.

"Wow! It's so fragrant!"

Tsunade took a sharp sniff, only to feel that the fragrance had completely covered her nasal cavity.

"Uncle, what is this?"

"moon cake."

"Moon cake? What is a moon cake?"

"Do you think this cake is big and round?"

"Uh-huh."

"Isn't it like a round moon?"

"It's a bit like it. So it's called moon cake?"

"Yes. When my uncle and grandpa were young, they used to travel around the ninja world. There is a prosperous country. Every year on August [-]th, no matter how far away they are from their families, they will go home and reunite with their families. Watching the full moon, eating Moon cakes are very harmonious."

"Wow, there is such a festival? Sounds great."

"It's great. So I also want our home to enjoy this kind of atmosphere. This mooncake is the most important flavoring agent."

"Then let's take all these mooncakes home and share them with grandma, dad and brother. They will be very happy too!"

"Will do."

"Uncle, can I try one?"

Tsunade said expectantly.

"of course can."

Tsunade heard the words and immediately took out a mooncake.

The appearance is dull yellow, and there is a faint burnt fragrance.

Tsunade couldn't bear the temptation any longer, and directly bit down.

The soft and delicious outer skin was easily bitten off by Tsunade, revealing the egg yolk filling.

Egg yolk filling is very popular among all mooncakes.

Tsunade was lucky, and picked a good filling right away.

The eggy aroma of the egg yolk spread in Tsunade's mouth immediately.

That feeling is extremely wonderful.

Very moisturizing.

Tsunade took two bites, only to feel the fragrance on his lips and teeth.

The egg yolk is fluid, not like a solid, but like a liquid.

The thick deliciousness made Tsunade sink into it completely at this moment.

The original strong taste will be a little greasy.

But the softness of the skin completely neutralizes the total greasy feeling.

"It's so delicious! Uncle and grandpa, this mooncake is really great! Grandma and dad will definitely like it!"

Tsunade shouted.

Zhenxiu smiled and said: "Xiao Tsunade, what you are holding is egg yolk filling, one of the best fillings in mooncakes. Good luck."

"Really? It's amazing!"

As Tsunade said, he ate up the egg yolk-filled mooncakes.

"Okay, you're done eating too, let's move the mooncakes back."

"Okay! Uncle, grandpa, let me get it for you."

As Tsunade said, he picked up two baskets of mooncakes.

"Tsunade is so good."

Hearing Zhenxiu's praise, Tsunade's face was full of pride.

As if to say, of course.

Thousands of hands.

The once prosperous family is now down to five people.

Mito, Shinshu, Itaki, Tsunade, and Ropeki.

Shengshu is less than two years old, and it is time to babble.

"Grandma, Dad! Uncle and grandpa have made a new dish today. Let's hold it to the moon and eat it together. It is said that it will be more delicious."

Tsunade said excitedly.

Mito laughed and said, "Your uncle and grandpa have come up with some new tricks."

"Look grandma! This is it! It's great!"

Tsunade held up a mooncake and said.

The appearance of Huang Chengcheng looks very soft.

"It looks very chic."

Mito laughed.

"It's not only unique, but also delicious. Grandma, you can try one. This one is stuffed with egg yolk. Uncle and grandpa said it was the best."

"Okay, grandma, try it."

Already accustomed to Zhenxiu's craftsmanship, Mito was not too surprised to eat this mooncake.

In addition to being delicious, it is delicious.

However, the creativity of this mooncake still surprised her.

Moon cakes, the meaning of reunion.

Looking at the busy Zhenxiu, a trace of emotion appeared in Mito's eyes.

"Zhenxiu, do you miss them too?"

The night is getting darker, and the moon is high in the sky.

The round moon is like a big disc.

The family moved the table to the yard and ate mooncakes while looking at the moon.

"Uncle, this mooncake of yours is really delicious!"

The board tree signifies great satisfaction.

Zhenxiu smiled and didn't answer, but picked up a piece of mooncake and took a bite himself.

Still the familiar taste of moon cakes.

Of course, it is much tastier than the commercial mooncakes purchased in the previous life.

But that emotion remains the same.

Mooncakes, Mid-Autumn Festival.

reunion.

At this moment, Zhenxiu suddenly remembered his previous life.

Working alone in a foreign land, even if it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, I cannot go home and reunite with my family.

I was the only one in the deserted rental house, eating the cheap moon cakes I bought, comforting the lonely soul.

That loneliness penetrates deep into the bone marrow.

At that moment, the mooncakes in my mouth were not delicious, on the contrary, there was only a kind of bitterness.

"Being a stranger alone in a foreign land, thinking about family every holiday season."

In this world, there seems to be no shortage of such sorrows.

I don't cherish the time of reunion.

But when it really came to this kind of atmosphere, I felt a sense of emptiness again.

Looking at the moon cake that was bitten off by myself, it was like seeing the heart that was missing a piece.

How could it be so easy to fall asleep tonight.
