The treasure mountain of portable space

Luojia Village still maintains some old traditions, moon cakes are generally made at home.Li Nan was also a little excited to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in the countryside for the first time. It was only a few days before the festival, so he learned how to make mooncakes with Dad Lu.

Lu's father knew how to make moon cakes or Lu's mother taught him. At that time, Lu Jiaqiong wanted to make the children eat better, so she used simple things to make food in a different way.Father Lu helped every year, and he did a good job. In the next few years, he made the food for Lu Lanze and the others himself. Naturally, his craftsmanship is better now than before.

While stirring the flour in the basin, Li Nan watched Dad Lu busy preparing the stuffing, poked his head and asked, "Uncle Lu, do you only make red bean stuffing?"

Father Lu fiddled with the red beans in his hand and there were no three black lines, okay!He also dislikes Wuren, but traditional mooncakes can't do without it, "Why don't we make less Wuren, and make some other fillings. You see, we have so many fruits in our house, why not make fruit mooncakes? And some time ago, didn't we marinate some salted duck eggs? It must be delicious."

"Okay, go get some salted duck eggs! I'll make more."

Li Nan got permission, and immediately went out of the kitchen, went to bring in some salted duck eggs, washed more than [-] eggs and put them in a pot to boil.

Dad Lu ignored him, mashed the red beans in his hand, put some local sweet-scented osmanthus honey, and put some white sugar. After finishing, he took a few fruits from the refrigerator, washed them in a basin, and chopped them into pieces , Put it in the heated ground pot, add some syrup, oil and water, and stir fry.

Stir-fried fruit stuffing is a bit time-consuming, and the heat must be well maintained, and the fire must be baked inside, and the stir-fry must be even.Chopped fruit is easy to ripen. After a while, it can be crushed with a spatula, then scooped out of the pot, and then replaced with another one.

As soon as Li Nan put the salted duck eggs into the pot, he brought a Dahe basin to the side of the ground pot to help Dad Lu watch the fire. The bursts of sweet fragrance wafted straight into his nose, making him almost drool.Lu's father saw that he wanted to eat, so he took a spoon and gave him a spoonful.

The first fruit to be fried is pears. Steaming and boiling pears will volatilize the moisture in the pulp, but the frying is different. The moisture in the dry-fried fruit is very good, and the water added normally is less. , plus a little syrup and a little oil, the sweetness of the fruit is not lost at all.

"How does it taste?" Dad Lu saw Li Nan took a bite, but he was a little nervous without saying anything.

"It's delicious, make more, and save it to eat slowly." Li Nan nodded sharply at Lu's father, it was sweet, and the most important thing was that it was not greasy.

When Dad Lu heard what Li Nan said, he was also relieved, and he didn't stop in his hand, and fried a few more.

After Dad Lu made the stuffing, the flour in Li Nan's hand was almost ready.Li Nan didn't know how to make bread, so Father Lu stopped his hands, squeezed a small ball into a ball in his hand, put it on the chopping board and rolled it into a dough, then picked it up and filled it with stuffing.

When Li Nan first started, he didn't wrap his bags very well and kept revealing his stuffing. Dad Lu was next to him to mend him. After doing more slowly, he could be regarded as getting started.

After wrapping it up, Dad Lu found out the molds he made himself, which were all cut into a plum blossom shape with wood.Holding the mold for a while, I started to make it. The mooncakes made by this mold are very beautiful, like creamy yellow flowers, if you don’t count those that Li Nan made.

I made some and put them in the oven specially bought by Lu Lanze. After setting a time, Li Nan went to see if the salted duck eggs had cooled down. He was very busy.

Looking at the big duck eggs in the basin, he picked up a big one and peeled it off. The egg inside was golden and the core was still red with oil. Li Nan tasted a moderate salty taste and gave the other half to Dad Lu. .

"Mm... not bad, now is the right time to start eating." Lu's father also thinks the taste is particularly good, so he saves the egg whites and eats them with steamed buns at night.

After working hard all morning, I made a hundred moon cakes with seven flavors. In the end, Wuren still made a few pieces, but there were still more fruit and egg yolk ones.

At noon, after Lu Lanze and Yang Siming came down from the mountain, they smelled a milky scent before entering the courtyard.

Several helpers swallowed and kept looking into the yard, but they didn't go into the yard, they just stood at the door for a while, and then went back to their own home.

As soon as Lu Lanze and Yang Siming entered the gate, they saw many mooncakes on the stone platform, presumably they were drying, Lu Lanze took one and handed it to Yang Siming, and picked up one himself.

Yang Siming took the mooncake handed over by Lu Lanze and took a bite impatiently. Then, a tragedy happened. The mooncake that had just been baked was not completely cooled, and what he ate happened to be egg yolk, and his mouth was full of oil, which burned him all at once. mouth, but he was not willing to spit it out, so he kept fanning his mouth with his hand.

Seeing Yang Siming's appearance, Lu Lanze knew that the taste was not bad, so he took a small bite carefully. The skin of the mooncake was made very thin, and the filling was eaten as soon as he bit into it, but he still frowned and swallowed it in two or three bites. down.

When Yang Siming saw Lu Lanze's expression, he secretly laughed in his heart. He saw Lu Lanze laughing at him just after he was embarrassed. Don't put a cold face on his face, others will not know what he is thinking.

Everyone knows that Lu Lanze doesn't like sweet things, but Li Nan likes sweet things the most. Now he is holding fruit mooncakes in his hand. Although the taste is really good, he really doesn't like it. A sticky feeling in the mouth.

After eating the mooncakes in their hands, the two went straight into the kitchen.

Li Nan and Dad Lu were making lunch, and they spent the morning making mooncakes, so it was a bit late to cook.

"Lu Lanze, did you see that Uncle Lu and I made mooncakes? I'll get you one. How about you try it? Uncle Lu and I both ate it. It's delicious." Li Nan saw Lu Lanze come in , and pulled him to go outside.

Lu Lanze, "..."

Yang Siming snickered.

Lu Lanze, who was forcibly pulled out of the kitchen and stuffed with a mooncake by Li Nan, was very helpless, looking at the mooncake with a look of bitterness and hatred.When he looked up, Li Nan looked at him expectantly, and took a bite as if he was dying.

"Well, it's delicious." Okay!Lu Lanze ate stuffed with five kernels, and finally someone liked it.

"That's right! That's right! The noodles are made by me, the stuffing is made by Uncle Lu, and many of them are made by me." Knowing that he doesn't like sweets, Li Nan specially found him a five-nut one. Appreciate, ask for petting.

Lu Lanze saw Li Nan begging for praise, smiled, and kissed his little face with a little bit of fruit sticking to it, feeling amused in his heart, probably stealing a lot, "Good boy, are you tired? I think there are still a lot more Do you want to do something this afternoon?"

"I'm not tired, I'll finish it after I do some more in the afternoon." Li Nan didn't lie, not only didn't feel tired at all, but also enjoyed it.

"That's good. I don't think it's enough. Why don't we buy mooncakes for welfare and just give them away! It's so delicious and let everyone try it."

"Okay! Is there anything else I need to do?" Li Nan asked.

Lu Lanze thought for a while and said, "No need, just prepare some fruits."

After the two discussed it, they told Dad Lu about the decision. Lu Lanze said that he was giving out mooncakes to people too suddenly, and Dad Lu couldn't find anything suitable for mooncakes, so he went to a small shop to buy some oiled paper. , there are ten in one, and there are all kinds of flavors.

In the afternoon, Lu Lanze explained to Yang Siming what he meant, and Yang Siming agreed, and planned to distribute the holiday bonus together, taking advantage of the fact that the two days on the mountain were not very busy, he took two days off by the way.

The next day, in the small courtyard of the Lu family, a small table was set up in the courtyard as usual, and the people who worked on the mountain during the day lined up. A bag of moon cakes, a bag of fruit.

The person who got the money couldn't react, so he asked, "Siming! Why is there so much money?"

Yang Siming looked at the person who asked the question and explained: "Uncle Liu, this is a welfare. Isn't it the holiday season? Fruits, moon cakes, and the 200 yuan are all. Lan Ze asked everyone to send something, you guys Yue often comes to help, which is a little hard work."

"Hey, boy Lu is really nice. I thought he was an old knocker?" As soon as Uncle Liu finished speaking, the people behind laughed. A few days ago, everyone in the village knew about Yang Siming's salary, but Lu Lanze usually did not defraud them at all in terms of wages, and they just joked about it when they had nothing to do.

"The boy from the Lu family is good. He usually gives us extra meals!" The people behind heard it, and followed suit, but they mostly said that Lu Lanze was fine.

Yang Siming just laughed a few times when he heard it, "Okay, as long as we work well, we will be indispensable."

After Yang Siming finished speaking, he stopped chatting with them and asked the people behind to continue to receive things.

The group took their things and went home happily.
