Chapter 250 Chapter 251 Food in Memory
With the first compromise, there will be a second, a third... and then endless compromises.So, Qin Rong and I took it for granted that we took the first commercial that wasn't our own or Ling Jianle's.The advertisement fits the image of Qin Rong and me. The newly launched ice skin mooncakes from a well-known and time-honored bakery in Hong Kong came to us when the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching.Although our recent news is a bit too much, it has finally been portrayed as a victim.Of course, our endorsement fee is very cost-effective is also an important factor.

Not to mention this time-honored mooncake, I still quite like it.The flavor of the mooncakes in my hometown is very different. Their classic mooncake with lotus seed paste and egg yolk is my favorite.There are only three styles of mooncakes in my hometown. Wuren mooncakes emphasize the crispy nuts and fatty meat; to me, char siew mooncakes are the same as Wuren mooncakes, except that the lean meat of char siew is dry, old and chewy; and Bean paste mooncakes, well, don’t say they can’t compare with the centuries-old bakery in Guangcheng, even the mooncakes in neighboring cities that are county-level cities that have been sold for thousands of yuan. People don't agree with us eating red bean paste and lotus paste mooncakes, because they are made with unauthentic and unknown ingredients.Only Wuren and char siew mooncakes are allowed to be eaten by our siblings, but these are not the styles that our children like to eat. Most of us don't like salty and sweet desserts.

So now Qin Rong and I came to their store to shoot an advertisement, and we were so excited that we couldn't sleep the night before like never before.

"This is our classic model, please have a taste." The shop manager brought out sliced ​​lotus paste and egg yolk mooncakes for our group to eat, even the lighting, recording and other staff were not left behind.

I was very satisfied when I saw that the sliced ​​lotus seed paste and egg yolk were shining brightly.Although I don't like too greasy food, this lotus seed paste egg yolk moon, without oil is not good.Fortunately, this time-honored brand has not followed the trend of less oil and less sugar, otherwise it would be impossible to eat such traditional mooncakes.Even though their mooncakes are as delicious as ever, the familiar flavor is getting farther and farther away from us.

I smiled at the store manager uncle, then picked up a fork and put the mooncakes in my mouth, regardless of how hot the mooncakes were.In front of the food I like, I never restrain myself. Even my round figure in my previous life can't stop me, let alone now I don't have to worry about getting fat at all.

The salty taste of the egg yolk in the mouth and the smooth and non-sticky lotus seed paste blend together, which makes me miss the familiar taste and evokes the taste in memory again.In my previous life, when I was young, I couldn’t eat the mooncakes from this time-honored bakery. At that time, the mooncakes were given to my grandparents every year. We had to wait until after dinner on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, and my grandparents would peel one of them. The sour pomelo was shared with our siblings, and then we carefully cut a Wuren mooncake into eight small pieces with a kitchen knife, two small pieces for each of the three of us, and a small piece for each of our grandparents.

Our siblings encountered fat when eating moon cakes, and had to sneak away before grandparents were not paying attention, but they would be caught by grandparents every time.Then grandparents will take our moon cakes, and use their rough and cracked palms to help us carefully deduct the fat. After seeing that we are happy to take and eat again, they will put the deducted fat on the hand. A small piece of moon cake is stuffed into the mouth and eaten.

At that time, I was not sensible, and I always felt that my grandparents were stingy. When I grew up, I realized that my grandparents had always lived in poverty, so they cherished any food and did not waste it.In addition to teaching us the etiquette at the dinner table, let us eat as much as we want. Don't secretly throw away the food we don't like, and leave it to them to eat. If it doesn't work, then come and feed the chickens.

And the only time I ate mooncakes from this bakery in my previous life was brought by my grandfather’s younger sister in the city, who was said to have been sold to the landlord’s daughter as a servant girl at a young age.In my previous life, I have only seen her twice since I was a child. The first time was when my second brother was born in the full moon, and the second time was when my little aunt got married.But I don’t remember much of these two times. I just remember that she was very kind to grandpa. She would give grandpa hundreds of yuan every year and festival, no matter how sad my life was.
