The hunter's husband is so sweet
Chapter 151 Making Mooncakes
Since they were going to make more for the elderly in the village, they had to prepare the materials. Qi Xuan and Fu Jingyi discussed going to the town to buy some fine flour, but they didn't expect that the village chief would ask Qi Jun to deliver the ingredients for making mooncakes the next day, and also asked Qi Jun to say, "I'm troubling you to make it, how can I ask you to make more? Use these first, and go find him if it's not enough."
Qi Xuan and Aunt Wang didn't want to reject the village chief's kindness, so they accepted it. Qi Xuan and Fu Jingyi still went to the town and asked Shopkeeper Wu for some mooncake molds. Qi Xuan wanted to find a carpenter to make some patterns himself, but there was no time.
After listening to what happened in Yundu, Shopkeeper Wu was also filled with emotion. Thinking of the letter and banknotes sent by Mr. Qiao, he called the couple to wait for a moment. He went back to the house and took out the things sent by Mr. Qiao, "This is what the boss asked me to give to you."
Qi Xuan no longer wanted to know how many banknotes were in the box. He took the box and handed it to Fu Jingyi without even looking at it. Fu Jingyi didn't pay any attention to the box. Shopkeeper Wu couldn't help laughing at their behavior. "Did you feel tired during those days in Yundu?"
Qi Xuan looked at him and nodded, "I'm tired." Shopkeeper Wu laughed out loud, "The boss is just like that. He's a businessman and he can measure everything with price, but it's not derogatory."
"I know." Qi Xuan seemed to think of what happened in Yundu again, and spoke weakly, "He said that I was too rich. At that time, he really disliked me."
Fu Jingyi didn't say anything, just looked at Qi Xuan lovingly. Qi Xuan also complained to him about being disliked by Mr. Qiao, but he complained coquettishly, "Brother Yi, Brother Qiao dislikes me. He thinks I don't have enough money. His eyes are nakedly disliked."
After chatting with Shopkeeper Wu for a while, Fu Jingyi and Qi Xuan left together. Shopkeeper Wu looked at the young couple and could only sigh in his heart that it was great to be young. Then he took the letter and recipe sent by Mr. Qiao and went to the chef to discuss the issue of changing the dishes.
After finding an empty corner, Qi Xuan secretly put the box of money into the space, and then he and Fu Jingyi went around the town again, "Brother Yi, buy some red beans and make osmanthus red bean paste for you."
"What is that?" Fu Jingyi asked. Qi Xuan thought for a moment, "It's delicious." The two chatted and laughed as they went to buy some things, and then took a carriage home. The carriage was also sent by Mr. Qiao, which saved them some trouble, after all, Fu Jingyi was not good at choosing a good horse.
This time when I drove the carriage back to the village, no one gossiped. It should be that the village chief's warning worked. However, those people just talked and did not dare to do anything.
Tomorrow is the Moon Worship Festival, so Qi Xuan and Fu Jingyi decided to stay at their godmother's house tonight so that they can make mooncakes together tomorrow.
After dinner, everyone was enjoying the cool air in the yard. Qi Xuan looked at the starry sky and said to Fu Jingyi, "Brother Yi, look at the stars in the sky. They are more numerous and brighter than those in Yundu, aren't they?"
Fu Jingyi also looked up at the starry sky, "Yes, not only the stars, but even the air is better than the clouds." Qi Xuan laughed out loud, "If Brother Qiao hears you say this, he will roll his eyes at you again."
"Hmph, no matter how much he tells me, I still think our family is better than Yundu." Fu Jingyi didn't care. Who cares what that guy named Qiao thinks? As long as he doesn't disturb them again, it will be fine.
At this time, his godmother called him from the kitchen, "Xiaoxuan, come here." Qi Xuan went to the kitchen when he heard the voice, "Godmother, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing serious, I just want to discuss the fillings for tomorrow's mooncakes with you." Aunt Wang looked at the things in front of her and felt a little worried. The village chief sent too much, how much would it take to use it up?
Qi Xuan looked at it and saw red beans, lotus seeds, black sesame seeds and duck egg yolks. "Godmother, let's make one with red bean paste filling, one with lotus seed paste filling, and one with duck egg yolk filling." Then he rolled up his sleeves to work. Aunt Wang stopped him and said, "Don't do it now, let's talk about it tomorrow morning. Why do you want to work so quickly? Go and have a rest." After saying that, she kicked him out.
Qi Xuan went back to the yard and sat down. Lin Chen and Qi Yue asked him what kind of mooncakes he was going to make tomorrow, and he answered truthfully. Qi Yue smiled and said, "I like the ones with duck egg yolks, they are delicious." Lin Chen also said, "I like the ones with red bean paste, they are sweet."
Fu Jingyi and Qi Zheng were discussing about going hunting tomorrow. They hadn't been to the mountain for a long time, so they just wanted to stretch their muscles. It would be even better if they could hunt something. As it was getting darker, everyone went back to the house to rest.
Fu Jingyi and Qi Xuan explained that they were going to the mountain with Qi Zheng tomorrow, and Qi Xuan did not stop them but asked them to come back in the evening. "Tomorrow is the Reunion Festival, you two must come back before dinner to eat moon cakes together." Fu Jingyi agreed. Qi Xuan was a little sleepy, but he continued, "Tell Xiaoyue to call Zhang Hui and Grandpa Zhang tomorrow, and we will celebrate the festival together." After that, he fell asleep.
Fu Jingyi looked at his husband who was already fast asleep, kissed him on the corner of his mouth, and then gently hugged him to sleep.
When Qi Xuan woke up again, Fu Jingyi had already left. He must have gone up the mountain with Qi Zheng a long time ago. He didn't want to sleep any more, so he got up and went to prepare the mooncake fillings.
When he arrived in the yard, Aunt Wang had already started cooking red beans. Qi Xuan went to wash the lotus seeds and then remove the lotus seed core, because the lotus seed core is bitter. If it is not removed, the lotus paste filling will not taste good.
Aunt Wang saw Qi Xuan coming too, "Xiao Xuan, why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"Brother Yi and the others have gone up the mountain, and I can't sleep." Usually the man would hold him while he slept, but suddenly he was alone and he really couldn't sleep.
"You two have such a good relationship." Aunt Wang didn't say anything and continued to work. "Godmother, ask Xiaoyue to ask Grandpa Zhang and the others to come too. Let's celebrate the festival together and have fun."
Aunt Wang came out with a basin of red beans, "That's what I was planning. Let's get it done quickly, otherwise we won't be able to call anyone over in this mess."
"Xiaoxuan, just pick the lotus seeds, wash them, and then cook them." Aunt Wang started to stir the red beans. This is a labor-intensive job. Qi Xuan thought it would be great if there was a blender, and it would be done in a moment. How long would it take to stir it with manpower alone? Even when the lotus seeds are cooked, it would have to be done the same way. If I had known, I would not have let the two men go up the mountain, and the strong laborers would have run away.
Aunt Wang was also very efficient. While Qi Xuan had just taken out the cooked lotus seeds, she had already prepared the red beans. "Xiao Xuan, go and stir-fry the red bean paste until it's dry."
"Go ahead, godmother. I'll stir the lotus seeds." Qi Xuan was afraid that Aunt Wang would be tired, so she wanted her to do some easy work. "It's okay. It's much easier to do this than to work in the fields. Go stir-fry the stuffing. We'll be too late in a while."
At this time, Lin Chen and Qi Yue also got up. Seeing that they were already busy making mooncakes, they came to help. Aunt Wang assigned them tasks neatly and then started to stir the lotus seeds.
Half an hour later, the three kinds of mooncake fillings were ready. At this time, the village chief and his wife also came. They were surprised to see that they had already prepared the fillings. "I thought it was early enough, so I came to help, but I didn't expect that you were almost done."
After that, he washed his hands with the village chief and said, "Let us knead the dough. You take a break and we'll make mooncakes together later."
With the help of the village chief and his wife, soon pots of mooncakes were baked. The molds that Qi Xuan got from Shopkeeper Wu were also very exquisite. Lin Chen and Qi Yue found the oil paper left over from selling pan-fried dumplings, wrapped the finished mooncakes in packs of five, and tied them with fine hemp ropes.
Before Qi Yue could go find them, Zhang Hui and Grandpa Zhang came. Zhang Hui also brought a lot of gifts. When he saw Qi Yue and the others making mooncakes, he came to help. "How did you make so many?"
"Send some to the elderly in the village." Qi Yue used a bamboo stick to stick a piece of duck egg yolk into Zhang Hui's mouth, and the man who was fed grinned happily. Grandpa Zhang looked at his grandson's worthless appearance and took a bite of the mooncake with lotus seed paste that Qi Xuan had just brought him.
After working for a whole morning, they finally finished what needed to be done. The village chief and his wife did not stay long, and took the mooncakes with Aunt Wang to deliver them to each household. Qi Yue and Zhang Hui followed them because they were afraid that the three of them would not be able to handle it, and Qi Xuan stayed behind to prepare lunch.
Lin Chen helped Qi Xuan, "Xiao Chen, your brother-in-law's birthday is coming soon, what do you think I should give him?" Lin Chen was stunned by Qi Xuan's sudden question, "This... I don't know either."
