Chapter 779 Making Moon Cakes

According to Qiao Maimai's idea, the millet is going to be made into fried cakes, which are wrapped in white sugar, fried and sugared. This is a good delicacy for the people of Anping Village.

During lunch, Qiao Changshun disagreed with her when he heard about her thoughts.

No matter what it was for, anyway, everyone in the village had bitten their fingers and stamped their fingerprints. Yang Ye had explained the value of the blood letter. When Dean Gu took it out, the whole court was shocked. Talk about the blood book.

So in Qiao Changshun's view, the blood book played a big role in winning this debate.

And this is not only to thank the folks, but part of the reason is to celebrate Tong Sanlang's admission to Juren. When the two items are added together, the gift package only contains dried sweet potatoes and fried oil cakes. Isn't this gift too thin? Son?
"It's too thin..." Qiao Xiaomai looked at Tong Sanlang.

Tong Sanlang raised his eyes to look at her when he heard the words, "You make the decision and listen to you."

Qiao Mai rolled his eyes, spat out the bones in his mouth, and said, "Why don't you do this, let's make mooncakes."

"Moon cake?" Tong Sanlang's tone was full of doubts.

There is no Mid-Autumn Festival here yet, no wonder he was confused, Qiao Mai nodded and said, "A kind of sweet cake that is as round as the moon and delicious."

"I've thought about it a long time ago, but I was busy some time ago and didn't have time to prepare. Now that I'm free, let's do it slowly."

"If you do a good job, you can even sell it for money."

Moreover, Yang Ye's letter specifically reminded her to think more about delicious food, and that was moon cakes.

Sell ​​money.

These two words made Qiao Changshun's eyes brighten, and he hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, let's make this kind of moon cake."

Qiao Mai nodded and agreed.

After lunch, Tong Sanlang, who originally planned to buy land, turned around and went to the town to buy things needed to make mooncakes.

The first time I made it was to practice my hands. Qiao Xiaomai made the most common bean paste stuffing.

Red bean paste is easy to make. Soak the red beans first, then put them in a pot and cook until they are soft and rotten. Then you can take them out.

There is no juicer here, so Qiao Xiaomai took a fine linen cloth, wrapped the cooked red beans, held them into a ball, kneaded vigorously, and the fine red bean paste seeped out from the linen cloth, this is red bean paste.

Put the extruded red bean paste into the pot, stir fry with oil and sugar, and then the red bean paste is finished.

The red bean paste was boiled in Lingquan water, and the taste was much improved compared to ordinary red beans. Qiao Dami took a piece of steamed bun, dug a spoonful of red bean paste into it, and was very happy to eat it.

Qiao Mai rubbed his little head and started making mooncakes.

To make mooncakes, you need to use sight water, which is a solution obtained after adding plant ash and boiling water for a day, but Qiao Xiaomai doesn't plan to do this. She directly mixes edible alkali with water, and after the fusion, she gets sight water.

With sight water, she prepared syrup again, adding sight water and oil into the syrup, and then adding the syrup into the flour and kneading it into a dough.

Let the dough relax for a while, then divide the dough into equal parts, flatten the small dough, put in the bean paste filling, knead it into a ball, put it in a mold to shape, and finally put it in the oven.

The mold was temporarily made by Tong Sanlang without any patterns, so the finished product is not very beautiful.

But this does not affect the taste of mooncakes.

Qiao Changshun ate four in a row before he stopped feeling embarrassed. He was not a greedy person, but the mooncakes were round and small, so he ate four without knowing it.
