Shiji Starts from the Beginning of the Month

If it's not well edited, I'm afraid she will see the clues right away.

Really, really tricky.

After hesitating for a while, what Jiang Xia said turned into another set of rhetoric that he didn't even think of.

"Oh, that, I think our store is empty and empty, it's a bit wasteful, so I hand it over to someone else to open it, and when I got busy later, I forgot to tell you."

Jiang Xia's expression looks very sincere, he swears that his current acting skills are more than enough even if he was the lead actor in those well-known TV dramas in his previous life.

Mizuno Rin looked at Jiang Xia suspiciously for a while, and seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, he asked uncertainly.

"Really?"

"Really, why should I lie to you because of this matter? By the way, I have saved up the rent and used it when you get married in the future. Don't expect me to give it to you now. Before you are underage, the house rent The economy has to be under my control."

Jiang Xia replied without hesitation, the rhetoric seemed very natural, the kind that even a mind reader would not be able to see.

"Hmph, stingy brother."

Seeing that Jiang Xia didn't seem to be lying, Mizuno Rin's eyes flashed with disappointment.

Although Mizuno Rin deliberately concealed the change of expression, Jiang Xia, who was already very familiar with her, naturally noticed the expression at that moment.

Damn Jiang Nannan.

Jiang Xia scolded this cheap aunt a hundred times in her heart.

It seems that it is still necessary to find an opportunity to tell Xiao Lin everything, so it is not a problem to hide it like this.

After the residency training and this period of vacation, autumn has already arrived.

The more important thing is the subsequent autumn selection, this time the selection is the final assessment for the selection of high school first-year students-Tamaichi Generation.

Jiangxia's Huaxia cooking class continues to be held normally three times a week.

Jiang Xia naturally hopes that his students can all become the generation of Jade, but what he can do is to teach them the skills and knowledge of Chinese cuisine, and the rest is limited.

It is worth mentioning that Tian Suohui's school life is changing more and more. In the past, she would hardly have any rest time because of her homework.

But now, in addition to completing the homework of various courses, the field that Jiang Xia handed over to her before is also well-organized, and some rare crops in China are gradually appearing in Yuanyue's land.

Chapter 100 Mid-Autumn Festival Tradition

One day, Jiang Xia woke up in the autumn morning breeze, finished washing, and was about to continue studying Mr. Schapper's cooking experience, but saw Rin Mizuno walking in mysteriously.

"What are you doing?"

Jiang Xia asked cautiously.

"What, why are you nervous, do you remember what day it is?"

Mizuno Rin asked mysteriously.

Jiang Xia couldn't help thinking, after excluding his birthday, Mizuno Rin's birthday, and all kinds of weird days, Jiang Xia still shook his head, he really didn't think about it.

"Stupid, today is two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival!"

Mizuno Rin saw that Jiang Xia couldn't remember at all, so he announced the answer directly.

Hearing Mizuno Rin's words, Jiang Xia remembered that the Mid-Autumn Festival seems to be coming soon.

Taking out the calendar, it was indeed as Rin Mizuno said, only two days were the fifteenth day of August in the old calendar.

Because there are too many things going on recently, if it wasn't for Mizuno Rin's reminder, Jiang Xia might have to wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival to remember.

The custom of appreciating the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival was introduced to the Cherry Blossom Country as early as the Tang Dynasty. At first it was only popular among the nobles, and then gradually spread to the common people, becoming a popular folk activity among the common people.

In the country of cherry blossoms, it is rare to hear the term Mid-Autumn Festival. The Mid-Autumn Festival that Rin Mizuno said is actually because of a habit formed by Jiang Xia and Jiang Nannan, who are Chinese people, from childhood.

People in Sakura country are used to calling the NO.15th night of the lunar calendar or the full moon on that day as "Fifteen Nights" (じゅうごや), and the full moon on August 8th can also be called "Mid-Autumn Festival" (ちゅうしゅうのめいげつ).

A little different from the Chinese who use the moon to symbolize reunion, the people of Cherry Blossoms believe that the full moon in Mid-Autumn Festival symbolizes the harvest of crops, so they will hold sacrifices on this day to pray for a good harvest. This custom has been passed down to this day.

In the country of cherry blossoms, there were no moon cakes at the beginning, but in the [-]th century, they also imitated China and made moon cakes.

"Hurry up, we're going to start making mooncakes."

Seeing that Jiang Xia had remembered the Mid-Autumn Festival, Mizuno laughed happily, and pulled Jiang Xia to the kitchen.

In the past days, every Mid-Autumn Festival, Jiang Xia would take Mizuno Rin to make mooncakes by himself.

As a chef, this kind of thing is of course more delicious if you cook it yourself.

Seeing Mizuno Rin's happy face, Jiang Xia felt a little uncomfortable.

He knew why Rin Mizuno was so happy. He told Xiao Lin when he was a child that the Mid-Autumn Festival symbolizes reunion in China. No matter how far away the family is, they will rush home on the Mid-Autumn Festival to pray for reunion.

Probably Mizuno Rin had always believed in his heart that Jiang Nannan would come back sometime during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Jiang Xia made up her mind in her heart, it seems that there are some things, and it is not an option to continue to procrastinate.

Following Mizuno Rin to the kitchen, Jiang Xia found that everyone in Jixingliao was already there, and there were also two familiar non-jixingliao faces.

Erina and Fei Sako.

Seemingly seeing the doubt in Jiang Xia's eyes, Erina spoke first.

"Xiao Lin invited me here, so-and-so, don't be too narcissistic."

What am I narcissistic about? Jiang Xia was a little dumbfounded, he didn't need to think about it, Erina and the others were invited by Xiao Lin.

Otherwise, what else could be the explanation? !

It's not because I want to make mooncakes with myself!

Jiang Xia knows that she is handsome, but obviously, she is not so handsome that Erina, who is the mortal enemy, will be lost!

This girl, Jiang Xia already knew about the grudge against her because of girl comics, but he still insisted on his point of view. It is not good to indulge in reading girl comics, and it is easy to make people stupid!

"Today is really a good day. Everyone can gather together to make moon cakes for worship. This is youth!"

Yishihui stepped on the stool and made a gesture of walking away from you.

His attire is still as weird as ever, but now he feels that he and his whole body have become a little abnormal. This youthful statement made Jiang Xia involuntarily think of the green-skinned hunk in a migrant worker cartoon.

Jiang Xia did not refute Yisehui's description of mooncakes as being used for sacrifices. In China, mooncakes are also used for sacrifices. However, Huaxia worships the moon god, praying for reunion, and the cherry blossom country worships the god of harvest, praying for a good harvest in the coming year .

Jiang Xia looked at the cooking table, and sure enough, a lot of ingredients for making mooncakes had been prepared on it.

Forget it, although the original plan was to learn Mr. Schapper's cooking, but since the holidays are coming, let's take a vacation for myself to relax.

Moreover, Jiang Xia is naturally very happy to make Mizuno Rin happy.

Although the kitchen of Polar Star House is relatively large, it seems a bit crowded to accommodate so many people at one time.

Therefore, Granny Wenxu temporarily lent the dining room to everyone as a temporary kitchen.

"You guys, after you finish using the restaurant, you must clean it up for me!"

Granny Wenxu emphasized that it is easy to make a mess when making moon cakes. If she is asked to clean up, her old bones will not be able to handle it.

"Grandma Wenxu, won't you do it with us?"

Tian Suohui asked.

"I won't participate in the activities of you young people, lest you think I'm in the way, and, old lady, I have to go out to do something today."

After hearing Granny Wenxu's words, everyone realized that Granny Wenxu was dressed very formally today, and even put powder on her face to cover up the previous wrinkles.

Good guy, what Granny Wenxu wants to do may not be easy.

"Grandma Wenxu, let's sacrifice together on the festival day, and I will prepare it together with your share."

Tian Suohui continued as if she hadn't noticed anything, and Jiang Xia didn't know if she was being natural or being too considerate.

"Okay, sure enough, Xiaohui is the only one who treats me best in the whole dormitory."

Then, while everyone was watching, Granny Wenxu hummed a song and left the dormitory of Jixingliao to go to her very important business.

"Then let's begin."

When Grandma Wenxu left, Jiang Xia directed the people in Jixing Liao to get busy, and at the same time introduced Huaxia's mooncakes.

Moon cakes, also known as moon cakes, small cakes, harvest cakes, reunion cakes, etc., are one of the traditional Chinese delicacies in China.

According to different regions, in China, moon cakes have also produced various genres.

For example, there are Cantonese-style mooncakes with thin skin and filling, soft taste, Soviet-style mooncakes with heavy oil but not greasy, and delicious Beijing-style mooncakes.

And in San’in, the large pancake-shaped mooncakes are definitely an unconventional model, unique among many genres. San’in people, even eating mooncakes, can feel a sense of momentum and oppression!

Of course, there are many other minor genres, enumerated enough to make a book, so I won’t introduce them in detail here.

Chapter 101 Mooncake Making Tutorial, Learn Hard

"Master Jiang Xia, in our country, there are not so many types. If there are so many, can the Chinese gods distinguish clearly?"

The mooncakes in Sakura Country are mainly Taoshan mooncakes. The skin of the cake is made of the traditional cherry blossom gold peach mountain skin. From the appearance, it is somewhat similar to the snow skin mooncake.

"In China, mooncakes are probably not all sacrificed to the gods. When people return to their hometown, when they see the mooncakes of their hometown, their memories of the past will be awakened involuntarily!

That's why everyone wants to make mooncakes different from other places, as if they are calling their loved ones away, come back quickly, only at home can you have 'authentic' mooncakes! "

Jiang Xia explained that in ancient China, the means of communication were far inferior to what they are now, and getting along in two places meant not meeting each other.

Being able to use mooncakes to call back family members was also the inner expectation of people in that era.

Mizuno Rin on the side was stunned for a moment when he heard Jiang Xia's explanation, and then silently remembered the words in his heart.

The production of moon cakes is divided into two parts: cake coating and filling.

Prepare a large bowl, add peanut oil, honey, and alkaline water into it, and mix all ingredients evenly.

Add milk powder, high-gluten flour, and low-gluten flour to the bowl, and mix well.

In this step, the more even the stirring, the softer the mooncakes baked later will be. Moreover, there will be a faint milky fragrance in the middle of the cake skin, and a sticky grainy feeling in the mouth.

After stirring, the flour forms a ball, then refrigerates to chill.

The production of cake crust is not complicated, but if the quantity is relatively large, it is still a relatively tiring physical work. Half of the people in Jixing Liao are instructed by Jiang Xia to knead the flour, and the other half are used to prepare the fillings in the restaurant.

In China, moon cakes are filled with rich fillings.

Common mooncakes with five kernels are filled with almonds, almonds, sesame seeds, melon seeds and other nuts;

Egg yolk mooncakes, the filling is mainly made of salted egg yolk;
