Don't panic, the family boss is busy farming

Chapter 155 Mid-Autumn Moon Cake
At the beginning of August, Emperor Xuan Zhao Heng, who was welcomed back to Luoyang by the Cao family, realized that the Yuan family had the intention of proclaiming himself emperor, so he adopted Cao's suggestion and moved the capital to Yuzhou, Xudu.

Soon, Cao De, the head of the Cao family, was named a general.

But among them, there is another reality, that is, when the princes crusade against Dong Xing, Dong Xing and the emperor moved to the old capital of Chang'an on the way to escape, and burned Luoyang, causing a devastating blow to this once super big city.

Obviously, re-establishing a super-large city is a bit complicated for the current Cao family. It is better to directly transfer the little emperor to Xuchang, which the Cao family has been running for a long time, and build a new capital.

It has been half a month since Xu Da left Wubao, and every two days, the family will receive a letter from Xu Da.

The changes in the outside situation also followed Xu Da's letter to the home, allowing Xu Yue and everyone living in Wubao to get first-hand information from the outside world.

Time passed very quickly in the midst of being busy, and when Xu Yue realized it, she calculated the almanac and found that it was already August [-]th.

I didn't even think about it when I was still on the way to escape the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, but this year, it seems that I can celebrate a little bit.

Xu Yue didn't know if there were any mooncakes at this time, but she didn't see any special preparations at her cousin's house.

On the contrary, the tenants in the field whose grains were about to mature busily prepared a lot of livestock and grains for sacrifices, and prepared to worship the moon god tonight, praying for a good harvest.

Seeing the tenants busy for the festival, Xu Yue suddenly wanted to eat mooncakes.

The work to be done in the tofu workshop today has been completed, and there is only a plate of tofu left for retail sale in front of the courtyard. Xu Yue decided to give half a day off to the brothers and slaves working in the tofu workshop.

Yangwazi has already learned some tofu skills, but due to his status as a tenant, he never dared to open a mill and sell tofu by himself, so he continued to work in the tofu workshop.

The auspicious gifts sent by my aunt and grandmother also returned after learning and left the mill.

Xu Yue came over suddenly and said that he would give the big guys a holiday, and they were obviously in a daze.

Ah San and the other three slaves were even more dumbfounded, as if this was something incredible.

Only Xu Dalang accepted it calmly, and immediately threw away his apron, smiling happily.

"Isn't today the Mid-Autumn Festival? This is a day of reunion. Let's all go home and celebrate the festival with the family." Xu Yue explained with a smile.

After hearing her words, they finally understood why they were given half a day off today.

Yangwazi smiled, and finally went home without any psychological burden.

Ah San and three slaves were left. Xu Yue remembered the various beautiful shapes of moon cakes, so she asked the three of them who knew how to do woodworking, and made two molds for herself.

The three of them asked about the requirements, and when they learned that they only needed a few petals or a round mold, they said it was very simple, so they went to find wood to make molds for Xu Yue on the spot.

Xu Dalang originally wanted to go down to the river to soak in water to relieve the heat, but when he saw Xu Yue's posture, he immediately surrounded him.

"What is my sister going to do?"

Xu Yue smiled mysteriously, "It's delicious."

There is something delicious again!Xu Dalang's eyes lit up immediately, and he didn't want to go to the river to soak in the water, he just followed Xu Yue's buttocks, Baba watched her busy.

It is easy to make mooncakes, but it is not so easy to make delicious mooncakes. The materials are limited. Xu Yue can only find raw materials such as brown sugar, soybeans, broad beans, and sesame seeds, so she prepares a DIY mooncake filled with salty and sweet sesame soybeans.

There is still a lack of an oven, and there is no ready-made one, so I have to choose to bake the meringue mooncakes in a pan.

Xu Yue's own cooking skills are not very good, and what she is making now is forced by her greed. There are many recipes for mooncakes in her brain, but the conditions are simple, and she can't come up with the ingredients for the original recipe, so she has to figure it out by herself .

It is relatively simple to mix the stuffing. All kinds of ingredients are fried in an iron pan first, and then they are ground into powder in a stone bowl. A strong aroma of soybeans and sesame seeds floats out and fills the entire yard.

Xu Erniang, who was hiding in the house, couldn't help but ran out. Junmei also smelled the cat and entered the courtyard, watching Xu Yue's movements curiously.

As a result, Xu Yue naturally caught the strong man directly, and handed the stone bowl to the two of them to make stuffing.

I started making mooncake skins myself.

Oil and sugar were poured into the basin, as if they didn't want money, and only the three slaves were stunned.

But in fact, in Xu Yue's eyes, she had tried to be as careful as possible.

But in the eyes of ordinary people who are reluctant to add salt to cooking, it has reached the point where they will unconsciously breathe air-conditioning when they see it.

Busy from noon to evening, the first pot of plum-shaped mooncakes was baked.

Xu Yue tasted it first, um, it didn't overturn, and the taste was pretty good.

The skin is crispy and fat, and you bite it down. The filling mixed with sesame seeds, soybean noodles, and brown sugar is fragrant and soft, and there are crushed broad beans for a rich taste.

It's the first time I've done it like this, and it can be said to be quite a success!
"Guru~"

The sound of swallowing saliva came from beside him.

Only then did Xu Yue react from the delicacy, she ate up the remaining half of the puff pastry mooncake in one gulp, and promised to clean the remaining sesame oil on her fingers, signaling to the few people watching behind her to try it.

The pan was small, and seven mooncakes were made in one pot, each as big as a child's palm, Xu Yue ate one, and Xu Dalang and the others happened to have one for the remaining six.

However, Ah San and the others didn't dare to come forward to get it. The master would never distribute such precious food to the slaves.

Junmei and Xu Erniang couldn't wait a long time ago, each took a bite with chopsticks, and ate while blowing, without caring about burning their mouths.

There are very few girls who don't like this kind of sweet and soft pastry, and it's not easy to eat something sweet in this era. Xu Erniang and Junmei ate it so happily that they squinted their eyes.

Not to mention Xu Dalang, before Xu Yue finished speaking, he had already taken a piece of mooncake, opened his mouth, and swallowed the whole mooncake.

For some reason, seeing the picture of her brother eating, Xu Yue automatically picked out a line of words: Zhu Bajie eats ginseng fruit and swallows it whole.

Ah, she definitely didn't mean to slander her brother!Xu Yue swears frantically in her heart to express her loyalty to her brother.

Turning her head, seeing Ah San and the others still making moon cakes with molds, Xu Yue slapped her head annoyed, and said clearly again:
"Ah Da, Ah Er, Ah San, come and taste the mooncakes you made yourself. It's delicious. Let's do it once."

The three raised their heads in surprise and said hello.

For a time, the whole courtyard was filled with an attractive fragrance.

But oil, sugar, and refined noodles are too expensive after all, so Xu Yue didn't make many, only fifty or so in total.

Gongsunyan's family and aunt's family gave ten each, and Wang Dayou's family gave five.

In the end, the remaining 25 were guarded by Xu Dalang, with the appearance of guarding food who would go crazy if anyone wanted to give it away.

Xu Erniang, who was still thinking about eating mooncakes tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, was very angry.

Wang Shi and Wang Youliang, who hadn't even had time to eat a piece, swallowed silently, and then thought about the probability that they would snatch the food from Xu Dalang and get out.

The answer is zero.
