A ragged cub at the beginning

Wenfang spent most of the day sorting out the two accounts. She found that Director Tang was good at spending money, but whenever there was not much money on the books, she could always find a way to make some money.

It seems that she was worrying too much. She no longer needs to worry about the master having to use her to pay off debts.

After all, Tang Xu was injured and not as energetic as before. After seeing Du Yun off, she felt a little tired. She swayed in the recliner by the window and fell asleep.

Aunt Feng gently pushed the door open, and Wenfang quickly made a gesture to keep quiet, stood up and led the others outside. "The director has fallen asleep, is there anything urgent?"

Aunt Feng glanced towards the office and lowered her voice, "No, I just wanted to ask if the garden makes mooncakes. Isn't today the 11th? The 15th is Mid-Autumn Festival."

Wenfang nodded and whispered, "I'll ask the director when he wakes up. If you want to do it, I'll let you know. Aunt Feng, right? I'll find you in the kitchen when the time comes."

"Okay, I'll go back first."

When the alarm clock rang, Tang Xu also got up, and Wenfang happened to be talking to her about the mooncakes.

"Is it Mid-Autumn Festival? Let's have a day off. We need to make mooncakes. Make more so they can sell." Speaking of this, Tang Xu remembered the debate between the sweet and salty parties. Let's make both this time to see which one is more popular.

"Should we allocate some money to buy ingredients? How many mooncakes should we make?" Wenfang has already opened the account book.

"Hmm... make a thousand? We'll give them to the children and teachers, and we'll eat some at home, and sell some." Tang Xu thought about it and shook his head, "Let's buy the ingredients today, and make some of each flavor tomorrow, and give some away with the reserved lunches, and see if anyone wants to buy them, and then we'll decide the quantity."

"Okay, who will buy these materials? Is there anyone in the park responsible for this?" Wenfang asked.

Really not. It turns out that Tang Xu and Tang Qing were responsible for all the miscellaneous work in the purchasing and accounting department. It seems that we need to find a purchasing agent?

Putting this matter aside for the moment, Tang Xu went to find Aunt Feng and asked her what flavor of mooncakes they had eaten in previous years.

Aunt Feng thought for a moment and said, "The most popular mooncakes are made with pine nuts and walnuts. Candied fruits, jujube paste, and seasonal fruit paste are expensive and most people can't afford them."

"Well, I'll go buy the materials first, and we'll do it together when I come back."

Tang Xu looked around, but she didn't know where Tang Qing had gone. As a one-armed hero, she couldn't go alone. Xingzi came over with An An, "Sister Xingzi, are you free?"

Xingzi hurried over after hearing this, "It's free, is there anything you want me to do?"

"I'm going out to buy some ingredients for making mooncakes. I don't know where Tang Qing has gone." Tang Xu pinched An An's little face, "An An, do you want to go out and play?"

"Ah~" An An raised her hands happily, asking to be hugged and go out to play.

"An'an, my arms hurt, so I can't hold her." Xingzi hesitated. It would be inconvenient to carry her when she went out shopping. "She's so young, it's inconvenient to carry her, right?"

Tang Xu poked An An's pouting mouth and said, "It's okay. Push a small cart and let her sit in it."

"Then I'll push the cart." Xingzi pushed the cart, thought about it and put on a backpack to put things on the cart. If An An couldn't fit in, he could sit in the basket.

Mooncakes have different fillings and skins. The most common ones are oily skin, crispy skin, and ice skin. The fillings vary from place to place, including fruits, dried fruits, fresh meat, ham, egg yolk, meat floss...

Aunt Feng looked at the large cart and asked in astonishment, "Are these all for making mooncakes?"

"Yes, make more flavors." Tang Xu seemed to have seen all these ingredients turned into mooncakes, "Let's make three kinds of skins, and you see, all of these can be used as fillings."

Aunt Feng stared at the fresh meat, ham, and salted duck eggs with mud on them in astonishment. "I don't know how to do this."

"I'll teach you, this is delicious!" Tang Xu instructed the kitchen helpers to clean the ingredients and put them in different categories. "Let's make the stuffing first. First, how to make the meat floss..."

A group of people tinkered in the kitchen for the entire afternoon, and the oven never stopped burning.

"This snowy date paste mooncake is so pretty."

"This crispy skin and fresh meat smells so good."

“These are the only fillings I’ve eaten.”

Tang Xu couldn't help it, "Come on, cut each flavor of mooncake into pieces so you can have a taste of each."

"Okay." Aunt Feng swallowed her saliva, picked up the knife and started cutting.

Tang Ling followed the smell to the kitchen and saw the colorful snacks on the table. Her good sister didn't go to send the child away, and was eating happily at the table. "Tang Xu."

"Sister, come and try the freshly made mooncakes." Tang Xu waved her hand.

"Mooncake?" Tang Ling picked up a piece cut into a triangle. Why is there meat inside?

"It's delicious." Tang Xu swallowed the food in his mouth, "There's also a kind of ice skin, which is frozen in the cellar. We can eat it tomorrow."

Tang Ling put the bun that was neither a bun nor a snack into his mouth. It tasted like meat, with some chopped green onions and some unknown fruit. It was crispy, which neutralized the greasiness of the meat, but it was delicious with the unique fat and fragrance of the meat.

"Have the children left?" Tang Xu handed Tang Ling another piece of lotus seed paste and egg yolk cake, "This is delicious too."

"Let's go." Tang Ling accepted the salty mooncakes well and even picked some to eat.

"Where's Qiyue Jiarui? Let's pack a few and take them home to eat." Tang Xu wiped his hands and looked at the pile of mooncakes. "Auntie Feng, ring the bell and let the teachers take a few pieces each, and you too. Leave the rest for the children in the kindergarten. Make some more tomorrow and put them in lunch. Cut them into small pieces, two sweet and two salty."

"Okay." Aunt Feng wiped her mouth. She didn't expect that this strange filling would be so delicious.

Tang Ling took the food box on his own initiative, picked out some of the food he had just eaten and liked, and also took a few pieces of food he had not eaten, filling it up.

Tang Xu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She looked so careful in picking things out that she thought she was picking out some treasure. Fortunately, she had done a lot this afternoon, otherwise it wouldn't be enough for her.

Old Madam Du also showed her support for these rare mooncakes. Tang Qing, Banxia, ​​July and Jiarui, the four children, ate them without even raising their heads.

Du Yun prefers salty food, especially pork floss and egg yolk.

Old Madam Du prefers sweet food. She likes to eat soft and fluffy red bean paste and lotus seed paste.

The four children are not picky, they all like them all.

Tang Xu originally wanted to pack so much that he could share some with the servants at home so that everyone could try it and give their opinions.

When he turned around, he saw that Tang Yao had almost finished the plate he had just filled and was staring at the food box, seemingly considering what to get next.

"Brother Tang Yao! These are snacks! We still have dinner later."

"Well, it doesn't affect it." Tang Yao nodded and filled another plate.

Madam Du and Yu Wen both covered their mouths and laughed. It's not like they haven't seen people with big appetites before, but Tang Yao's is really rare. His stomach is like a bottomless pit.
