Soon, the male educated youths took action. Some brought buckets to carry water, others brought chopped firewood, and others had already moved out the stoves. Based on last year's experience, several sets of stoves were put into the furnace. Clean the cover.

Miao Shiwen opened the door of the granary and took out the prepared ingredients.

Zhu Xiaomin mixed some more ingredients into Luo Tingyuan's mixed noodles and asked Lu Mingzheng to knead them. He added ingredients to several pots, added water to boil, and finally set up two layers of steamers.

Looking at it like this, I really have prepared a lot of things.

Not only Xiao Luo Ye, but also the male educated youth couldn't help but poke their heads in to take a look, but whether it was a pot or a steamer, they were all covered tightly, and they couldn't see anything at all.

After watching the dough being kneaded, Zhu Xiaomin hurried a few male educated youths who were peeping around the table back to the table, and said with a smile: "You guys wash the fruits and eat them first, and later help make moon cakes."

He asked Lu Mingzheng to bring the basin to the table and asked Luo Ye to bring out several large bowls. He picked some washed fruits, cut them into cubes, and put them in the bowls. He also took some prepared chopped nuts and brought them together. Come to the table.

Seeing so many varieties of ingredients, Luo Ye's eyes lit up and he followed her eagerly, watching her every move.

Zhu Xiaomin looked at him and said with a smile: "We, Luo Ye, made the fillings in these bowls."

Luo Ye nodded immediately, pointed to a few bowls and said, "This is dates, that is chestnuts, that is hawthorn, and that is red beans. Sister Xiaomin cooked them yesterday and asked me to mash them today." After speaking, his eyes lit up. He asked brightly, "Sister Xiaomin, are there many kinds?"

"Yes." Zhu Xiaomin smiled. She had mixed several kinds of chopped nuts into several kinds of fillings, handed them to a few male educated youths to mix well, and mixed the chopped fruits by herself.

Luo Ye was surprised: "How can fruits be used as stuffing?"

Zhu Xiaomin smiled: "This is a new attempt." Then, he directed Lu Mingzheng to knead the dough, pull it into the same size, and roll it into a round cake himself.

Next, the male educated youths all knew how to make the cakes. They brought round cakes, filled them with fillings nearby, and then kneaded them into the shape of moon cakes.

Xing Qingsheng and others had already lit a fire for the stove and asked Zhu Xiaomin to see the size of the fire. Then they put the mooncakes into the small pot one by one, added the stove lid on top, and added firewood on top of the stove lid.

Luo Ye looked at it strangely and circled around the stove. Zhu Xiaomin pulled him back and rubbed his head in warning: "If you are burned, you don't have to pass this festival."

Lu Mingzheng consciously sat next to Zhu Xiaomin, looked at Luo Ye and smiled: "He looks like a child now."

When he first came here half a year ago, this kid was silent and alert, like a little beast ready to fight.

Zhu Xiaomin understood what he meant, nodded and rubbed Luo Ye's head.

With the help of many people and quick hands, the more than 70 moon cakes were wrapped quickly, but the pans were limited, so they could only be baked slowly.

The first batch of mooncakes was put into the oven, and the contents of the pot had been taken out. Miao Shiwen and Zhang Qiaomei had already filled them out in basins, and said with a smile: "Everyone eat slowly and wait slowly."

In one basin, there are boiled peanuts, in another basin there are boiled sunflower seeds, and in another basin there are boiled edamame, plus several washed fruits on the table, it looks very rich.

Peanuts and edamame are all grown in the yard. Fruits, except grapes, are grown from fruit trees on the mountain and shared among the team.

Lu Mingzheng smiled and asked: "How come moon cakes are enough to satisfy your needs?"

Song Zhian stretched his neck and looked at the stove: "There is also something in the steamer, I don't know what it is."

Zhu Xiaomin smiled: "Although the mooncakes are delicious, there is no way to fill them up. Besides, after all these mooncakes are baked, I'm afraid it's already late."

In fact, there are more than seventy moon cakes, only two are given to each person. Considering so many kinds of fillings, one person can only taste one piece of each kind. How many more are there?

Luo Ye held his cheek and struggled: "Then... what should I do if I want to try everything?"

Zhu Xiaomin rubbed his head: "I'll give you a cut of each item."

"Ah?" Luo Ye looked at her in shock.

Zhu Xiaomin smiled: "You said the mooncakes should be pointed."

Luo Ye was speechless and didn't say anything for a long time, which made everyone burst into laughter.

The first batch of mooncakes has been baked, and the sweet fragrance of mooncakes has filled the yard. Everyone still cuts them with knives and tries one piece each as they did last year.

Song Zhian held up the mooncake and teased Luo Ye: "Look, the mooncake is pointed. I didn't lie to you."

What came out of the first batch was stuffed with hawthorn. Luo Ye couldn't bear to eat it all at once. He took small bites, glanced at him, and nodded solemnly: "Yes, it's the sharp one."

Song Zhian smiled and rubbed his head: "Little devil."

Thirty-eight people divided up more than a dozen mooncakes in one go. Everyone was still interested and stared at the stove eagerly.

A few female educated youths were so amused that they took down the steamer, replaced it with a clean pot, boiled water again, and then asked a few male educated youths to help bring the steamed food to the table.

"What is this?" Luo Ye looked at the white, round thing on the plate with patterns placed in circles on it.

Zhu Xiaomin looked at Lu Mingzheng and said with a smile: "During the Dragon Boat Festival, the glutinous rice brought by Lu Mingzheng was not used for making zongzi. I made glutinous rice for everyone to try."

"Why are they different?" Song Zhian immediately discovered that although they were all glutinous rice, the contents of the glutinous rice on several plates were different.

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "Same as the mooncakes, there are dates, hawthorns, chestnuts, fruits and nuts, randomly mixed, you can try them all."

The difference is that the mooncake filling is ground into puree, here it is just cut into pieces.

Everyone looked at the freshness and immediately ate a little here and a little there, appraising the taste of each item they ate.

Luo Ye was dazzled. Every time he tasted something, he would say, "Sister Xiaomin, this is delicious."

"Sister Xiaomin, this one is more delicious."

"Sister Xiaomin, this is delicious too."

"Sister Xiaomin, everything is delicious."

Zhu Xiaomin looked at him funny: "I'm full now. Do you want to eat moon cakes later?"

"Ah?" Luo Ye froze, biting into his mouth a mouthful of glutinous rice, not knowing whether he should swallow it or not.

Miao Shiwen was funny: "It takes a while to bake the mooncakes, but you can eat them after running around a few times."

Luo Ye was relieved and immediately nodded happily.

Luo Tingyuan was helpless: "Luo Ye, don't hold on."

Luo Ye nodded: "Dad, I know."

Zhu Xiaomin was amused: "Teacher Luo, there are a lot of these things, but there are also many of us, and everyone will be gone after trying each one." He also felt a little regretful, "It's really too late, otherwise I could have killed a rabbit."

Over there, Zhang Qiaomei had already prepared tomato and egg soup, served it in a basin, and said with a smile: "It's all sweets, and it doesn't go well with eating meat. This egg soup just makes it less greasy."

Everyone saw that someone else was fetching bowls and scrambling to fill the soup.
