Rebirth of the leisurely life in ancient times

Xia Zixuan looked at her bright eyes, smiled and shook her head. This girl was happy when talking about food.

The two of them kept talking and worked non-stop, and soon they made twenty mooncakes. "Jinghe, don't clean up yet, go preheat the oven, and then we will start baking the mooncakes."

"Okay, girl." Jing He put down the basin in her hand, and after about two more cups of tea, she heard, "Girl, the oven is already heated, you can bake the mooncakes."

"Okay." Xia Zixuan put the pressed mooncake dough into the oven and said, "Start lighting the fire. It doesn't need to be too big."

After the mooncakes were baked for about five minutes, Xia Zixuan took them out, brushed a layer of egg yolk water on the surface, and then put them back into the oven to continue baking.

While she was not baking the mooncakes, she prepared the ingredients for the five-nut mooncakes, and started making the red bean paste mooncakes after they were baked.

The red bean paste mooncakes have been out of the oven for about twenty minutes. Take out the mooncakes and place them on the prepared wax paper.

She picked up a mooncake and said, "Okay, don't light the fire yet, come and taste the mooncake."

"Yes, girl." Jinghe walked over when she heard that. She had wanted to taste the mooncake for a long time. It was so fragrant.

Xia Zixuan broke open a mooncake and handed half to Jinghe. She could clearly see that the mooncake had a thin skin, thick flesh, and a fine powder texture.

I took a bite, and, hmm, that's the taste, sweet but not greasy, oily but not sticky, and the taste is particularly mellow.

Jinghe couldn't wait to eat it. As she ate, she said, "Girl, you are amazing. This mooncake is so delicious! I have never eaten such delicious mooncakes before. It is sweet but not greasy. The more I eat, the more I want to eat."

After they finished eating the mooncakes in their hands, Jinghe still felt a little unsatisfied. Xia Zixuan looked at her staring at the mooncakes and couldn't help but said with a smile: "Okay, let's make the mooncakes first, and then you can eat as much as you want."

Jinghe was a little embarrassed by her daughter's laughter, and when she heard that she was asked to eat as much as she wanted, she couldn't help but say, "Then let's start making mooncakes quickly, girl!"

She asked Jinghe to light the fire, put the peanuts and walnut kernels into the oven, bake them for about eight minutes, take them out to cool, and then crush them.

Put the black sesame and white sesame into the oven and roast them...

The master and servant were busy for another hour and finally made the five-nut mooncakes. The five-nut mooncakes Xia Zixuan made were not very sweet. She remembered that the mooncakes in her previous life were very sweet and she couldn't eat them after eating one or half of one.

This time she made it herself and could adjust the flavor herself. She watched Jinghe bring out the mooncakes and put them away. After a while when they were not too hot, she picked up one, broke it in half and handed half to Jinghe.

Jinghe couldn't wait to take a bite, her eyes lit up instantly, and she said in surprise: "Wow! Girl, this mooncake is so delicious! It's soft and crispy, and has the aroma of nuts, it's simply amazing."

Seeing Jinghe couldn't stop eating, she also took a bite. Hmm, it was good, with a thin skin and plenty of fillings. The taste was not too sweet, and the patterns and words on it were clearly visible.

After the two of them ate the mooncakes, Xia Zixuan said, "Take a few mooncakes each and send them to Uncle Meng and the others so that everyone can have a taste. I'll leave two for each of you and put the others aside for now. Then take out eight and we'll send a few to the village chief's and Aunt Wang's families."

When Jing He heard that two of each item were left for her, she immediately said happily, "Yes, girl, wait a minute, I'll be back soon."

After saying that, he took the mooncake and walked out quickly.

Xia Zixuan also went back to her room to change her clothes. When she came down, she saw Jinghe had already returned.

"Let's go! Let's go give them some mooncakes to try first, and then we'll make more in the afternoon."

"Okay, my parents said that mooncakes are delicious, and they have never eaten them! In Leshan, they even asked if you still want to make mooncakes, and they are here to help."

Xia Zixuan listened to what Jinghe said, "Then let them all come and help! We have done a lot this afternoon."

The master and servant talked as they walked through the garden corridor to the front yard, where they ran into Leshan and his men sweeping fallen leaves. When they saw her coming over, they put down their brooms and said, "Hello, young lady."

Xia Zixuan waved her hand and said, "You don't need to be so polite in your own home. Go ahead and do your work! We'll go out for a while."

Jing He also reminded them, "After you finish cleaning, go and prepare some things. The girl is going to make mooncakes this afternoon."

Several people were very excited after hearing this. God knows how much they wanted to eat the mooncake made by their own girl, but the girl had only made so many, and now they heard that she would make more. How could they not be excited?

Leshan and his companions said happily, "Okay, we will go and prepare the things we need later."

When they were eating, Jinghe told them what it was made of, so they knew what to prepare.

When Xia Zixuan arrived at Aunt Wang's door and saw that the gate was open, she called out, "Aunt, are you home?"

The reason why Aunt Wang didn't go to work in the workshop was because she asked her daughter-in-law to go, and she stayed at home to help with housework and take care of the children.

"At home!" The person who answered came out of the house. Seeing her, he immediately said with a smile, "Xuan girl, how come you have time to come here? Oh, you look at her, she is getting more and more beautiful."
