Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 20 Mid-Autumn Festival

Seeing the bustle of Jia's house, many people nearby were blown up, "I never thought that Jia Dongxu, who usually looks honest and honest, is actually this kind of person."

"There are many things you didn't expect. Let me tell you, he not only provoked this one, but several others." Li Shun said with a mysterious smile, which attracted curious inquiries from everyone.

"Quickly tell me who else is there?" The people around asked curiously while pulling his arm.

Li Shun watched the people around him staring at him without blinking, instantly satisfying his desire to show off.

"Let me tell you, that... and..." He lowered his voice and said a few names.

"I didn't expect it. He played very well. He spent a lot of money, right?"

"That's not necessarily true, let me tell you, half a month ago I saw him enter a supply and marketing cooperative with a woman in her 40s, and bought a lot of things, which were paid by the woman. He took it away." The description is called a decent one.Then he went on to say: "After they came out of the supply and marketing cooperative, they entered a single courtyard. When they came out, I saw his pockets were bulging. The woman must have given him a lot of money, and the woman gave him a lot of money with a flushed face. .” She said with envy on her face, not sure whether she was envious of people or money.

"Wow, Jia Dongxu doesn't look very good, but he still has this ability, could it be..." He said with a smirk.

Another neighbor directed the conversation to Qin Huairu: "But this daughter-in-law of the Jia family is also unlucky, I wonder if she will make trouble?" He seemed to think that it was not good for him to gloat like this, so he closed his mouth again.

"I don't think there will be any big troubles. After all, the two of them still have children, and Qin Huairu doesn't have a job. It's really a big trouble. She still has to go back to the countryside!"

"That's right, but I didn't notice that Jia's family is very rich. I used to cry about being poor, but now I realize that I have so much money. I took out 300 without blinking. Don't tell me to take it all at once." I paid out 300, and I can’t get by next month if I spend 30.” Li Shun said enviously without envy.

"Who said it wasn't? The factory probably lost a lot of money when his man got into an accident, but it was kept very tight, and there was no word about it."

"Then he loaned me two yuan last month, and he didn't say he would pay it back." Li Shun suddenly remembered.

Hearing his words, many people opened their mouths. One said to lend me 8 cents, another said to lend me 5 cents, and another said to lend me ten catties of cornmeal and two Chinese cabbages...

As he talked, he became angry. It is not easy for anyone in this era. The Jia family is obviously rich but pretends to be poor and takes advantage of everything. Every time they borrow a little, people are embarrassed to chase him for it.

After hearing this, Zhang Yu called Jia's family really well. It turned out that the tradition of pretending to be poor and taking advantage has been around since then. No wonder the TV dramas are full of Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang's taking advantage everywhere in the courtyard.

After listening to what they were interested in, Zhang Yu quietly slipped out of the crowd with small steps when they started to complain.

Today is August [-]th, the Mid-Autumn Festival, just look at the excitement, he has no intention of participating in it.

He feels a little uncomfortable with the mooncakes on the market now. Two days ago, he made an earthen oven like the video blogger he watched before, and planned to bake some mooncakes and pastries.

It's not that he has prepared a lot of materials, and my sister-in-law will feel pain when seeing his materials.

In order to make mooncakes that suit his own taste, he also fried the fillings two days in advance, and the system
The Yonghe jujube obtained by signing in has a small core, thin skin, thick flesh, natural insect-free, pollution-free, and pollution-free. It was listed as a tribute in the Tang Dynasty.

Rinse the red dates, soak them for four hours in advance, put them in a pot with water and cook them for half an hour.After half an hour, turn off the heat and soak for four more times, so that the soaked red dates will be easier to peel and remove the core.

Then use one end of a rolling pin to mash the jujube meat, and then put it in a pan and stir fry it over low heat.

Stir-fry until the jujube paste has no excess water, becomes sticky, and the color is ruddy and shiny, then it can be cooled and put into a bowl.

Jujube paste is very delicious. In the past two days, he has made a lot of steamed buns and used them to sandwich them. The taste is amazing.

He ate nearly half of the small jar full in two days, and it would probably be gone if the Mid-Autumn Festival passed.

Zhang Yu rolled the fillings prepared in advance into balls, covered the divided fillings, and put them aside for later use.

Add snow-white lard to the flour, just as there is still a lot of lard boiled some time ago, and then add some white sugar.

Boil the noodles in water, cover the noodles with a white cloth after kneading, and wake up the noodles for a while, and make oily skin while the noodles are waking up.

In a clean bowl, pour in the flour, then add some more lard, and knead into an oily surface.

Divide the water surface and the oil surface into multiple equal-sized doses, then roll the oil skin into a ball, press the water surface flat, wrap the oil surface into the water surface like a bun, with the mouth facing down, and then roll into a ball.

Roll out the wrapped dough for the first time and roll it into a long strip, then roll it up from one end, repeat several times.Roll it into a skin, wrap it with a spoonful of jujube paste, wrap it like a bun, roll it on the chopping board a few times, and it's done.

The next step is to bake in an earthen oven. First, fire charcoal in the oven. After the inside is hot, remove the charcoal, leaving only a little on the side, wipe the bottom, and put the finished mooncakes in.

An hour later, the delicious crispy jujube paste mooncakes were ready. This is what he likes to eat, Lao Shi's meringue mooncakes.

After it was baked, it cooled a little bit, Zhang Yu took out one and stuffed it into his mouth. He felt that there was no need for teeth in his mouth, and it melted away with a light sip with his tongue.

The smell of baked mooncakes is very tempting, permeating the whole yard, attracting the children around.

Seeing the eager eyes of the children, Zhang Yu took out a stove and divided one for each of them.Zhang Guifang, who was standing next to her, looked at it, wanted to say something, swallowed it again, and just went back to the room, her eyes were not happy or bothered, she couldn't see, and she didn't feel distressed at all.

The neighbors around were very happy that Zhang Yu gave the children mooncakes, and they sent things one after another. This one sent pastries from the factory, that one gave two apples, this one gave some vegetables, and that one gave home The cakes at the stall...basically no one goes there empty-handed.

And Zhang Yu filled six crispy mooncakes and went to Mrs. Sun's house, "Is Mrs. Sun at home? I brought you mooncakes."

"At home, at home, Xiaoyu, come in quickly, and you can eat the mooncakes for yourself." Mr. Sun quickly waved his hands and asked him to take them back.

"I just baked it, try it, it's not the same, it's puff pastry, you can definitely bite into it." Zhang Yu said and handed the plate to Mrs. Sun's hand.

Grandpa Sun took one to taste, and while eating, he held the puff pastry with his hands, swallowed it and said, "It's not bad, your puff pastry is authentic, and the dates used for stuffing are not bad, it's [-]% of what the old master made." Crafted."

Mrs. Sun praised, you must know that Mrs. Sun was born in a wealthy family before liberation. He was well-clothed and well-fed since he was a child. He has never eaten any delicious food. To get this evaluation proves that his craftsmanship is really good.

After being exaggerated by Mrs. Sun, Zhang Yu smiled a little embarrassedly. In fact, he knew that the puff pastry mooncakes were delicious this time, mainly because of the rise of various small videos in later generations, which played a great role in the spread of knowledge.

In addition, the quality of the rewards obtained from system sign-in is the highest.
