Traveling through the 1970s

Chapter 72 Making Mooncakes

I went back to the kitchen, picked up a piece of cake, took a bite, and it was so fragrant and sweet.

Han Yunzheng was surprised how Xiaoxiao could make these things. Then he thought of those two brats Lu Jianguo and Li Xiangdong. They came from big cities, and they should have taught Xiaoxiao how to do it.

Looking at the empty egg basket and the few extra bags of stuff, Han Yunzheng frowned. Could it be that these two brats still wanted Xiaoxiao to help them?

There are sugar, peanuts, and melon seeds. What are they for?

Although he was puzzled, Han Yunzheng still packed the cake and biscuits and prepared to put them in his sister's room later so that she could fill her stomach when she was hungry.

Lu family

As soon as Yan Li got home, she saw a bag of biscuits and a bag of small cakes on the table. She took them out and tasted them, and they were quite delicious.

This brat even remembers to buy snacks for his mother. When did the black market sell such delicious snacks? There are even salty biscuits.

"Jianguo, where did you buy the cake? It's quite delicious. The biscuits are salty." Yan Li asked her son as he walked out of the room while eating.

"I didn't buy it. Xiao Xiao made it. She asked me to bring it back for you and my dad to try."

"Xiaoxiao made this!" Yan Li didn't care about eating anymore and stared at her son with wide eyes.

I can't believe that these things were made by that delicate and fragile little thing.

"Yes! Li Xiangdong and I helped make it! Xiaoxiao will also make mooncakes for you and Aunt Liu." Lu Jianguo said proudly.

Xiaoxiao is the sister I finally got back together. I never expected that she is so capable.

Yan Li was shocked. This little girl, neither in appearance nor temperament, looked like a child raised in a rural family. Even the ladies from wealthy cities were no better than her.

Now Yan Li is even more curious about Xiao Xiao because of his skill in making snacks.

I am so lucky to adopt Xiaoxiao as my daughter. She is considerate and filial, much better than this bad boy. Just look at his belly that shows he came back with a full stomach.

"Xiaoxiao can also make mooncakes?" Yan Li asked with interest when she thought about the little girl wanting to make mooncakes for her.

"Well, because Xiaoxiao can't buy so many mooncakes, she wants to make them as holiday gifts for you and Aunt Liu. " Lu Jianguo said, reaching out to take the small cake.

"Pa" Yan Li slapped her son's hand away and quickly put it away.

"Your father hasn't tasted it yet!"

I was thinking that the festival is coming soon, and I don’t know whether the mooncakes made by Xiaoxiao will taste good.

The Li family next door to the Lu family was not much better than the Lu family. Liu Caixia did not put the things away, but just told Li Xiangdong not to move.

Early in the morning, Han Yunya was stunned when she saw two pairs of mother and son appearing in her yard.

Lu Jianguo and Li Xiangdong consciously took the things they had brought to the kitchen.

"Godmother, why are you here?" I felt curious, don't they have to go to work today?

Looking at Han Yunya's hands covered in flour, Yan Li knew that Xiaoxiao was making mooncakes.

"Your third brother said you were making mooncakes, so Caixia and I came to take a look."

"That's perfect. I just made a pot of mooncakes. Come and try them, godmother." Han Yunya smiled and led the two of them into the kitchen.

As soon as I entered the kitchen, I saw two people standing next to the dustpan, eating madly.

"You little rascal! I've never seen you so active in working, but you are very active in eating." Yan Li frowned at her son and scolded him with a smile.

"Mom, come and try it. It's delicious, much better than those we bought." Lu Jianguo immediately called his mother.

"Godmother, you guys try it too." Han Yunya picked up two mooncakes and handed them over.

Yan Li and Liu Caixia took a bite and their eyes lit up. They saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Because the materials were limited and I didn’t want to use things in my space, I only made two flavors, one with five-nut filling and one with red bean paste filling.

Because the red bean paste hasn't been made yet, there are only the ones with five-nut filling here.

"Xiaoxiao, godmother has something to discuss with you?" Liu Caixia said with a smile.

"What's the matter? Godmother, just tell me."

Han Yunya did not miss the surprise in the eyes of the two godmothers, as well as their eye contact.

"My godmother is going to the city to visit some elders, and she wants Xiaoxiao to help us make some snacks." Yan Li also spoke with a smile.

"Okay, are four snacks enough?" Han Yunya asked.

It’s not a big deal!

"I still have to make five more mooncakes." Liu Caixia said a little embarrassedly.

After all, he is an elder, but he is asking a child for something.

"Mooncakes, I only made two flavors, is that okay?" Han Ya asked with a faint smile.

I help my godmother make snacks. They won't treat me badly. I have been recognized as my family for so long, and I have always benefited from it. Making mooncakes and snacks is nothing.

On the day of the recognition, Yan Li and Liu Caixia each gave Han Yunya a jade bracelet and two sets of clothes. Because Han Jinglin and Xu Yuemei could not be present, it was Han Yunzheng, the brother, who stayed with Xiaoxiao.

"Okay. Xiaoxiao, let these two brats do any work you have. Take care of yourself and don't get too tired." Yan Li said, pointing at the two brats who were stealing food.

Lu Jianguo and Li Xiangdong received the glares from their mother and nodded hurriedly in response.

Yan Li and her friends took an hour's leave and left soon. When they left, each of them took away two kilograms of mooncakes.

Today, Lu Jianguo and Li Xiangdong, in addition to beating the eggs they brought into egg liquid, also had the additional task of making red bean paste.

"Xiaoxiao, have you ever thought about making mooncakes and selling them?" Li Xiangdong suddenly asked.

"Yes! It must be very popular." Lu Jianguo agreed while beating the egg liquid.

"I haven't thought about it, Third Brother, don't forget, I'm not in good health, if it wasn't for us to have more mooncakes, I wouldn't do these things." I'm not short of money, why do I have to work so hard, it's so tiring!

If it wasn't for the convenience of having snacks in the future, I wouldn't even bother to make this.

"Third brother, you'd better finish it quickly today. My second brother was unhappy yesterday." He raised his eyebrows and gave them a look that said you understand.

Li Xiangdong smiled. They were so happy that they forgot about Xiaoxiao's poor health. Han Erge must have been angry. If he knew that he had asked Xiaoxiao to make mooncakes and sell them, he would not be able to bear it.

"Xiaoxiao, how come you are so awesome?" Lu Jianguo looked at Lu Xiangdong with a smug look on his face.

Han Yunya ignored him and turned to do her own thing.

"I really have a good eye for talent! I would have brought you home to be my sister, if only it had happened earlier..." he muttered.

"What are you doing so early?" Li Xiangdong asked in a low voice, rolling his eyes.

There's no hope if you go earlier. Xiaoxiao doesn't like you at all. I still remember that in the past, Xiaoxiao would just avoid them when she saw them, let alone play with them.

"hey-hey……"

I was talking nonsense and took a peek at Xiaoxiao who was busy. Fortunately, Xiaoxiao didn't hear me.

I gave my good friend a look of gratitude. I didn't have that kind of thought. It was all my mother and Aunt Liu's fault for leading me astray.

At noon, the two men were called away by their buddies, and Han Yunya quickly finished and packed them up.

After cleaning up the kitchen and oven, I went back to the house to rest.

In the afternoon, before Han Yunzheng got off work, Lu Jianguo and Li Xiangdong came over and took the things away.
