Seventy-year-old book: The villain Zaizai’s best mother

Xia Mingshuang's home has a set of wooden flower molds for making moon cakes, fish noodles, pastries, snacks, etc., as well as ones with the words "Fu Lu, Shou Xi" and so on.

These were all the companionships given by my mother-in-law when I got married.

Xia's father was a skillful carpenter and had done many things before. Relatives and friends had given them to him as gifts, so Mrs. Gu didn't hesitate to snatch them from the original owner and kept them.

Xia Mingshuang smiled and said: "It looks good and tastes good. I'll give it to my little one to eat when it's baked later."

The little Zaizai suddenly looked happy, cute and soft.

Xia Ming's hands were all oily, so he bent over and lowered his head, hitting his forehead with Xiao Zaizai's.

In addition to the five-nut filling, Xia Mingshuang also made two salted duck egg yolk fillings.

She asked Xiao Zaizai to help brush the egg wash on the mooncake base, while she went to see how the oven was preheating, took out the firewood and charcoal inside, and put the mooncakes in to bake.

When the heat is about the same, take it out and apply oil again. This will lock in the moisture and prevent the mooncakes from being too dry.

After baking, the patterned side of the mooncake will be golden in color, while the other side will be dark honey in color. It looks particularly appetizing, and the aroma is even more fragrant, making your mouth water.

It was already dark now, and Da Zhuang led Miao Miao and Er Zhuang home. As soon as they reached the entrance of the alley, they smelled the fragrant aroma.

Erzhuang jumped up and ran home, "Mom is making delicious food again!"

Da Zhuang didn't even hold back and subconsciously speeded up his pace.

Miaomiao pulled him and ran, "Hurry up."

Seeing them come back, Xia Mingshuang smiled and said, "Hurry up and wash your hands and eat. Today we have desserts, freshly baked mooncakes."

Er Zhuang threw himself at the oven and kept smelling it. Xiao Zaizai asked curiously: "Brother, what are you doing?"

Erzhuang teased him, "Brother, I want to suck up all this fragrance to prevent it from being wasted. Come and suck it in too."

Xiao Zaizai is small after all and is easy to fool, so he pulled Er Zhuang's hem closer and sucked hard.

Miaomiao quickly took her little brother over and washed her hands, patted Er Zhuang again, and said angrily: "I haven't been in good shape all day."

For dinner, Xia Mingshuang cooked sweet potato and pumpkin porridge and steamed yellow rice and corn mixed with a small amount of wheat flour. Xia Mingshuang is good at cooking, and the dough he makes is soft and sweet, without the bitterness and throat-piercing feeling of other people's coarse grains.

Da Zhuang ate without saying anything, burying his head in eating fiercely, while Er Zhuang had to praise and marvel at it as he ate, "Mom, how did you cook it? How come this Huang Wo Wo Tou is not bitter at all and does not irritate your throat?"

Other people's food, oh, even the food they used to eat was very delicious.

Xia Mingshuang: "You have to be grateful to the third wife. She helped with the grinding. I asked her to sift it a few more times. The flour became finer and finer. Wouldn't it be delicious?"

Are modern cornmeal steamed buns unpalatable?

Of course it is the result of finishing.

There is also a plate of cut salted duck eggs on the table, which Xia Mingshuang pickled himself.

She secretly bought some salted duck eggs from Aunt Guixiang before, and marinated them herself. She made the marinated egg juice by herself, which contained peppercorns, bay leaves, etc., and also added white wine, so the salted duck eggs were marinated particularly well.

At this time, the ducks all eat bugs or small fish and shrimps in the river. At most, they eat some whole grains, feed without additives, green and original, the egg yolk is orange-red, and the rustling DC oil, cut and placed on a coarse porcelain plate, is very special. Beauty.

Miao Miao ate gracefully, and her beautiful eyebrows became more and more lively. After she tasted it, she took out her half-salted duck egg yolk and gave it to her little Zaizai.

Xia Mingshuang wanted her to eat it by herself and not give it to others. After thinking about it for a while, she didn't move, but looked at Zaizai.

Xiao Zai Zai is a well-behaved and kind-hearted child, not selfish or overbearing at all. His mother has given him half, so he will not eat more and occupy more. He smiled and said to Miaomiao: "Sister, you eat, I have it."

Miaomiao saw that her little brother was much more cheerful than before, with a chubby face, and she felt very happy, "If sister gives it to you, you can eat it. You will be fat after eating it, and your father will be happy when he comes back."

Although my father never lost his temper with my mother, my mother was not good to my little brother in the past. My little brother was pitifully thin, which made my father very uncomfortable. When he was at home, he tried his best to get food for them. When he was not at home, he also sent money and things to his mother every month.

It's a pity that before I sent it back, it couldn't reach their mouths. Now it's better. My mother is different from before, making delicious food for them every day.

They are so happy.

Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang are both boys. No matter what their nature is, they just eat into their own mouths most of the time to make themselves full and don't think about sharing it with others. After all, there are so many on the table, everyone has a share, so just eat quickly, what else should you give?

They wouldn't have thought of it.

In the past, the two boys only ate for themselves, but now Miaomiao let her younger brother eat. The two of them had already eaten their own portions and had nothing to give, so they didn't pick up others and took the initiative to leave them for others to eat.

Xia Mingshuang looked very pleased. These children are all good in nature. If they are really naughty children, will they care whether you eat or not? If you don't eat it, I'll eat it all.

The eldest son of Gu Baoshan's family and the son of Gu Yanni's family all have this kind of naughty behavior. Every time they come to eat, they try their best to stuff good things into their mouths and don't care about others at all.

She smiled and said: "Eat the salted duck egg yolk. It won't taste good if it is dried. Keep the egg white and use it as pickles for the next meal."

After dinner, Xia Mingshuang asked the children to try on all the clothes. The clothes made by her aunt were very good and the size was right.

She sighed and asked Minghui to help instead of looking back.

The next day, when Da Zhuang and the other two went to work, Xia Mingshuang tied up silk baskets, loaded them with newly made chicken cakes, moon cakes, and a few salted duck eggs, and then placed the little Zai Zai on the crossbar in front of the bicycle. Then set off for the commune.

On the way, I happened to meet Zhang Laizi and Tian Meizhen who were working.

Tian Meizhen looked at her back and said, "You said that Yunshan's wife carries a basket on her back all day long and runs to the commune, right..."

She always suspected that Xia Mingshuang was secretly speculating.

Zhang Lezi had something hidden in his heart. He and Gu Baoshan spent the whole day biting each other's ears, thinking about how to deal with Xia Mingshuang. This woman is rich yet arrogant and doesn't take good care of her husband's brothers. Isn't she just waiting to be plotted against?

This woman, whose rich and beautiful man is not around or is dead, has always been Tang Monk meat.

Xia Mingshuang went to Zhang Danping first.

Zhang Danping was surprised. She didn't expect Xia Mingshuang to come so soon. Originally, she was embarrassed to go to Gujialing immediately because the Chen family urged her to wait for two days.

Xia Mingshuang smiled and said: "The freshly made chicken cakes are delicious and cannot be kept for a long time, so they were made last night. You can eat them in these two days. The remaining ingredients can be made twice. I will deliver them in two days."

Of course Xia Mingshuang doesn't mind doing it every day, just like the members of the commune working in the fields every day, this is also her job.

She likes to cook, but she just adds home delivery.

She took out the mooncakes and salted duck eggs and showed them to Zhang Danping.

Zhang Danping was stunned, "Oh my god, can you still make mooncakes?"
