Chapter 69 Mooncake (Part [-])
Unlike Jinhua, who has no sense of presence, Yinhua is quite eye-catching when attending a banquet.After several years of learning her rules, people can't make mistakes, and she can also say a few words about new things that others talk about.But these are not the reasons why she is eye-catching. Others notice her because her clothes are very bold in color.As if for Yixue’s shame of being called dirty, Yinhua’s newly made clothes are all fashionable fabrics with fashionable styles, but fashionable fabrics are not necessarily good. The outer shirt worn by Mrs. Sun to the banquet was made of brocade with dark purple flowers, with orchid patterns embroidered with silver thread on it.She matched it with a blue and garnet red shirt and skirt, which shocked the audience.

Zhuhua didn't see it when she went out, but when she came back, Zhuhua saw the clothes with such strange colors, she couldn't help asking: "Second sister, what did others say when you dressed like this?"

"Everyone says it looks good, and many people are staring at it." Yinhua said proudly.

Zhuhua was silent for three seconds and didn't say anything more.

Because Yinhua's clothes were so impressive, others immediately forgot about the silent Jinhua.Lin Erniang and Chen Wuniang were also at the banquet, both of them were quite surprised, how could the younger sister who looks so similar to Jinhua have a completely different temperament from her?But having said that, the color of Jin Hua's clothes is actually quite bold. After all, they were all chosen by Mrs. Sun, but the three of them just got together to eat and eat, and neither of them paid much attention to Jin Hua's clothes.

When they arrived in the west chamber, the servants served snacks. The three sisters sat with a group of guests. Erniang Lin hadn't stopped talking since she entered the west chamber.

"Your house is so big, bigger than mine..."

"What kind of tree is this? Plum tree? Plum tree is good, plum blossoms are beautiful."

"There is a small yard next to it, which is great."

"Your family has already bought moon cakes? Can this be put on the [-]th day? It's still hot?"

"This is made at home. Try it. It has a lot of flavors that are not available outside." Jin Hua has eaten all kinds of snacks in Chang'an City now, and she basically knows what the mooncakes outside taste like.

"I made it." Zhuhua added a sentence on the side, and enthusiastically pointed to the one in the middle of the plate: "This is stuffed with meat."

"The mooncakes have meat fillings, I'll try it." Lin Erniang took one, ate it in a few mouthfuls, and nodded after eating, "Not bad, it's quite delicious."

Chen Wuniang also tasted a meat mooncake. The mooncake filled with meat is not made in a mold. Although it looks a bit more ordinary, it is smaller than other mooncakes. One of the other mooncakes can be worth three of them.Jinhua doesn't think the other mooncakes are too big, she can eat a few of each kind by herself.

"Let's share the food, let's taste the taste of each." Yinhua suggested, her appetite is not as big as Jinhua's, she will be full after eating one, but she wants to try other flavors.

"Yes, let's judge which one is the best." Zhuhua also said, I really don't blame her for the size of the mooncake, the mold is just that big.

Lin Erniang looked at the five types of mooncakes curiously, and she could eat about three with her appetite. "Is each one different? There are five flavors?"

"Yes." Yinhua agreed.

Chunshui stepped forward and cut the mooncake into four portions, which happened to be enough for one person except Jinhua to eat one portion. When the five kernels were cut, Zhuhua gave her share to Jinhua. She just didn’t like five pieces. Benevolence.

"Well, the taste is really good, I can eat all of them." Lin Erniang said.

After they had finished eating, Zhuhua quickly asked, "Sister Lin, which one do you like best?"

"Egg yolk."

Egg yolk, Zhuhua thought regretfully, but as long as it wasn't Wuren, she would accept it.

"Where's Sister Chen?"

Chen Wuniang thought for a while before whispering, "Meat."

"Really, I also like meat the most." Zhuhua excitedly held Chen Wuniang's hand, she had found a bosom friend.

Chen Wuniang smiled shyly, and continued to eat the unfinished mooncakes.Her appetite is good, but she eats very slowly. She only tastes the mooncakes that were just distributed to her every month, and she hasn't finished eating them yet.After that, she continued to eat mooncakes, and Zhuhua served her herself, pouring water and tea.When she finished eating, she almost had to go back.

Zhuhua also prepared a return gift for them, each with a basket of mooncakes.The basket is a square rattan basket bought specially, a bit like a picnic basket. There are five meat-filled mooncakes in it, and two of each other mooncakes.The basket is also covered with a piece of moon-yellow gauze, and the four corners are embroidered with rabbits pounding medicine, which is quite interesting.Chen Wuniang likes this scarf very much, and also likes Zhuhua, the younger sister.She is the only daughter in the family, unlike Lin Erniang who has sisters, she has always wanted a younger sister, even if she doesn't have a younger sister, a niece is also good, but the elder brother also gave birth to sons, all of them are very skinny, if It would be nice if she also had a younger sister who was clever and clever and could cook delicious food.

After arriving in the mansion, she went to see her mother and gave her a taste of the moon cakes she had brought.Among Chen's mother's five children, the youngest daughter is the one she loves the most. Unfortunately, her daughter is shy by nature and has never had many friends. She never expected that the two military officers who came from the countryside to talk to her would be the ones she loved the most. Miss.Although Chen's father is now on duty in the Ministry of War, he considers himself a literati. Although there is not much difference between civil officials and military officials in the Kang Dynasty, there are still occasional disputes between them.

Just as Father Chen came back, Mother Chen took out the dim sum, "Master, come and try it too. I heard that the Cheng family made the stuffing themselves, and you can't buy it outside."

Father Chen glanced at the basket of mooncakes, reluctantly nodded, and turned to look at his little daughter dotingly, "Bao'er is still filial, those brats never remember me when they have something delicious."

Bao'er is Chen Wuniang's nickname. She lowered her head shyly, but remembered that her second brother brought a box of snacks from the Hou Mansion a few days ago, saying that they couldn't be bought outside, but she ate most of the snacks. .

After tasting each kind of mooncake, Father Chen nodded slightly, "It's okay."

Chen's mother glanced at him, said nothing, continued to eat her, and asked the servants to share some of the cut mooncakes with each son.Father Chen stared at it silently, and pointed to the egg yolk filling for a while.

"Let's make mooncakes by ourselves this year."

"I have to ask the cook first to see if she knows it. Bao'er, you said that the Cheng family made this stuffing themselves."

"San Niang of the Cheng family tuned her, she is only eight years old." Chen Wu Niang said with a little pride.

Since eight-year-old children can be transferred, so should their own cook. You must know that Chen's father has always been picky about food, and the cook at home spent a lot of money to buy it from the south.The next day, the cook tried to make a stove, and Mother Chen shook her head slightly after tasting the taste.Even she can taste the difference, so it is estimated that this mooncake cannot be brought to Father Chen.

Because he couldn't wait for the dim sum he wanted to eat, Father Chen began to criticize all kinds of things these days. He didn't say it was for the dim sum. People's rules have also been picked.Chen's mother knew what it was for, so she hesitated for a long time. She took the egg yolk mooncakes made by the cook to a taste and gave Chen's father a taste. Chen's face sank after only one bite.

Well, this time I was completely sulking, Mother Chen sighed secretly.When she was in trouble, the person in charge delivered the account book. There was a tepid pastry shop in Mother Chen's dowry shop, and she was about to close it and open another one. Halfway through the account book, she suddenly raised her head.That's right, she can sell mooncakes with special flavors in her own shop, isn't this a good excuse to ask for dim sum recipes?
She had long wanted to ask Cheng Sanniang for mooncake recipes, but her aunt was the one who made friends with her daughter, and Cheng Sanniang was only eight years old, so she was too embarrassed to say that.She is not the kind of person who likes to take advantage of others, at worst she will give Cheng Sanniang a bonus.
