When Lin Yuan came to the kitchen, she looked through the ingredients and chose to make the relatively simple Cantonese-style mooncakes and snow-skin mooncakes. She just made them. Lin Yuan put on her gloves and apron and started to work.

"A Yuan, you look like a beautiful chef now."

"Grandma, what kind of mooncakes do you like?" Lin Yuan hasn't decided on what flavor yet.

"Grandma, you can eat whatever you want, as you think."

Lin Yuan thought for a while and decided to make a custard mooncake and a chocolate snowskin mooncake that children like. The snowskin mooncake is the simplest to make, so she had to prepare the filling of the custard mooncake first.

The filling first requires salted egg yolks. Instead of using ready-made egg yolks, Lin Yuan chose to use salted duck eggs to steam them. Then he had to use cream, cheese, milk powder and the indispensable sugar.

"A Yuan, why do you have to put the same stuffing in two bowls?" Old Mrs. Meng didn't know anything about the kitchen, and everything she saw Lin Yuan did was strange.

Lin Yuan pointed to the bowl on the left and said: "This is specially prepared for you and grandpa. I have adjusted the sugar and milk powder so that it is good for your health."

"No need to go to such trouble, it will waste your time." Although Old Mrs. Meng said this, the smile on her face was obviously deeper. Lin Yuan's thoughtfulness made her very happy.

"It's nothing troublesome, it's just a matter of convenience." Lin Yuan said casually, and then put the Liuxin stuffing into the refrigerator.

Next came the custard filling. On top of the liquid filling, add eggs, butter and flour. After mixing the ingredients evenly in order, Lin Yuan poured the yellow paste into the pan and kept turning it. Fry until the custard sauce is almost like dough, transfer to a bowl and put in the refrigerator.

Making mooncakes is a very complicated and time-consuming task. In order to speed up the process, Lin Yuan handed over the subsequent procedures to the Meng family's kitchen aunts after making the crust, while she went to prepare the snowskin mooncakes.

Mrs. Meng was very interested in seeing mooncakes made for the first time. She insisted on making them herself. Lin Yuan didn't stop her. At most, the wrapping was not good and the filling would come out when baked. Anyway, she had prepared enough materials. I have been making moon cakes for twenty or thirty years.

When the snow-skin mooncakes were put into the refrigerator, the custard-filled mooncakes in the oven also emitted the aroma. The sweet and milky smell spread far away, even in the living room.

Mr. Meng smelled the smell and praised Lin Yuan to Jing Yu: "It seems that A Yuan is really capable. This moon cake smells so fragrant and must taste good."

Jing Yu also nodded in agreement. He also felt that the mooncakes would not taste bad just because of this fragrance.

After working for almost two hours, Lin Yuan and Mrs. Meng came out with three plates of mooncakes. People in the living room had been looking forward to it for a while. Even Jing Zhiyu came back from outside and sat on the sofa obediently. Wait.

"Grandpa, try it and see how it tastes." Lin Yuan picked up a custard mooncake, broke it open, and handed half of it to Mr. Meng.

Mr. Meng took a bite. The mooncake was still warm, and the filling inside was dense and smooth. "Ah Yuan, this mooncake is sweet but not greasy, and full of milky aroma. Your skills in making mooncakes would be wasted if you don't open a shop." .”

"The one you have is specially prepared for us by A Yuan. He is afraid that it will be bad for us two old people to eat too much sweetness." Mrs. Meng introduced to Mr. Meng: "You don't even know, in order to make this stuffing It has a creamy texture, and A Yuan has been stirring it for a long time, so my hands are probably still a little sore now.”

"Then A Yuan, please sit down quickly and let someone rub your hands and massage them."

"Grandma said it was too exaggerated." Lin Yuan sat down and said with a smile, "I just haven't done it for too long and I'm a little uncomfortable with it. Besides, grandma, you have been helping me, so you should take a break."

"What can she help you with? She has never cooked in her life. I'm afraid she won't help you."

The old couple usually get along with each other by quarreling with each other, and no one gives in to the other. When she heard that Mr. Meng was hurting her, Mrs. Meng said unwillingly: "The one you eat is made by me. If you feel bad, just vomit." Come out and give it back to me.”

"You really did it!" Mr. Meng's eyes widened, looking like he couldn't believe it.

Looking at Mr. Meng's expression, Mrs. Meng said proudly: "Of course I made it." But what Mrs. Meng didn't say was that she made this mooncake with the help of Lin Yuan after she ruined six or seven mooncakes. results obtained.

"Then you have worked hard today, hurry up and try the mooncakes made by yourself."

Mr. Meng personally took a mooncake to Mrs. Meng, which was considered a sign of weakness. After Mrs. Meng took it, she didn't chase after her. Lin Yuan couldn't help but laugh when she saw the old couple's look.

"Ayu, why don't you try your wife's craftsmanship?"

At the urging of Mrs. Meng, Jing Yu also took a piece of moon cake and started eating it. Seeing Jing Yu's expressionless face while eating, Lin Yuan couldn't help but ask: "How does it taste? Do you like it?" "

"It tastes very good, better than what I had in previous years. I like it very much."

Although there was no special expression on Jing Yu's face, Lin Yuan was still very happy to hear what Jing Yu said. Especially when she saw Jing Yu going to get the second moon cake, Lin Yuan even smiled with crooked eyes.

At this time, Jing Zhiyu took a piece of snowskin mooncake and said to Lin Yuan, "Mom, this is delicious."

When Lin Yuan saw Jing Zhiyu's look, she couldn't laugh or cry. It turned out that while Lin Yuan was talking to the two elders of the Meng family, Jing Zhiyu took the chocolate snowskin mooncake and started eating it. This mooncake was also made by Lin Yuan. Jing Zhiyu's whole face was covered with stuffing, and even his hands were covered in chocolate jelly.

"Xiaoyu, how many pieces have you eaten now?" Lin Yuan asked, using a tissue to wipe the mooncake residue for Jing Zhiyu.

"The second one." Jing Zhiyu answered quickly

"Really?" Lin Yuan expressed doubts. Judging from the residue, it should be more than that.

Sure enough, Jing Zhiyu whispered again: "It's the third one."

"Then you can't eat it. It's time to eat soon. Mom will make it for you if you like it. Now let's go wash your hands." Lin Yuan put the mooncake in Jing Zhiyu's hand back, even though Lin Yuan deliberately put the mooncake It was very small and exquisite, but she was still afraid that Jing Zhiyu would not be able to digest it if she ate too much.

"Okay." Jing Zhiyu glanced at the snowskin mooncakes on the table reluctantly, and then obediently followed Lin Yuan to the bathroom.

After Lin Yuan left, Jing Yu didn't let Mr. Meng and Mrs. Meng eat too much. Seeing that they wanted to reach out for them again, he decisively asked the servant to put away the mooncakes. The old couple wanted to say something. , someone happened to say that lunch was ready, so the two of them gave up and said nothing.
