I accidentally became the Eighth Lady in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 52: Making Mooncakes the Day Before Mid-Autumn Festival

Ever since they went shopping in the county town that day, Yunyan and Yinsi have stayed at home obediently. They haven't gone up the mountain or run around!

The two of them would cook delicious food in the kitchen from time to time, or they would be in the study, one reciting a book while the other was reading a medical book! Needless to say, the one reading the medical book must be Yunyan. Although Yinsi also wanted to read the medical book and wanted to understand why Yunyan liked to read the medical book so much, he was really not interested in the medical book. Every time he held the book in his hand, he felt a headache. He clearly knew the words on it, but he always felt that he was illiterate and could not understand what was written in the book!

The medical books in Yunyan's study were not the ones that those newly-minted copywriters read. If they were some prescriptions worth a thousand gold coins, or a complete collection of medicines, Yinsi could still read them. However, the medical books that Yunyan read were all books that recorded difficult and complicated diseases. Some of the medicinal materials he had never seen or heard of, so he simply could not understand them!

In the end, Yinsi didn't want to embarrass himself, because he felt that as long as Yunyan understood, it would be fine, as for him, forget it! He didn't waste his energy, he just did his own thing!

Yinsi said he was memorizing books, but in fact he was just looking at those martial arts secrets to see which ones were suitable for him. Although Yunyan said that he could use everything in these books! But some things are more valuable than quantity, and he didn't want to reveal too many things! When a person has too many good things, it will not bring you luck, but disaster!

This is human nature. It’s better not to challenge jealousy!

Yunyan would sometimes give Yinsi some advice, and every time Yinsi felt that his Yunyan was really kind. She could casually take out such precious things and was not afraid that he would deceive her because of these things!

On the first day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yunyan and Yinsi were making mooncakes in the kitchen. This was the first time that Yinsi made mooncakes by himself, which made him feel quite novel, so he was still very excited. Yunyan couldn't help but laugh at him, laughing at him for looking like he had never seen the world. In response to Yunyan's ridicule, Yinsi just responded with a doting smile!

The idea is good, but the reality is cruel!

Yinsi watched Yunyan making mooncakes and thought it was quite simple. Yunyan had already prepared the fillings for the mooncakes and even kneaded the dough for the outer skin early in the morning!

Yinsi looked at the things on the chopping board and felt itchy. He also wanted to try his hand. So he secretly took a model on the chopping board while Yunyan was not paying attention, took a small piece of dough, and followed the movements he had just observed Yunyan. He carefully stuffed the dough into the model, and then added a spoonful of stuffing and stuffed it in!

Yinsi seemed to be taking advantage of the fact that Yunyan had already noticed it when he just stretched out his hand. However, she did not speak to stop him, thinking that she had prepared a lot of things, and it didn't matter if he wasted a little!

But she didn't expect that the thing she finally made would make her laugh out loud!

“Haha…! Hahaha…!”

Yinsi heard Yunyan's laughter and looked at the mooncake he made with embarrassment. He didn't understand why the mooncake he made turned out like this when it was the same thing and the same steps. The skin was broken and the filling was out! He had clearly used a peony pattern, but why did he make a ball?

Yinsi looked at the mooncakes he made, and then looked at the mooncakes made by Yunyan. The mooncakes were not yet cooked, but Yinsi thought they were so beautiful that he didn't even want to eat them! Yinsi couldn't understand why the mooncakes made by Yunyan were so beautiful? Why were the mooncakes made by himself so ugly? He didn't even want to look at them! They were really too ugly, and he lost his appetite!

"Haha..., it's not bad! At least it's not as ugly as the first time you entered the kitchen. It's a little ugly, but when it's cooked, it should still be edible!"

Yunyan's words made Yinsi even more speechless. He got up. He didn't want to eat such an ugly thing! Yinsi looked at Yunyan's hands, which were like flowers, constantly changing their movements in front of his chest. Those beautiful mooncakes were made just like that. The more he looked at the mooncakes he made, the uglier they seemed to make him lose his appetite!

Yinsi secretly reached out and held the mooncake he had made in his palm, intending to throw it away. He refused to admit that he had made the mooncake. Such an ugly thing could not have been made by him!

But unexpectedly, just when Yinsi was about to throw the mooncake into the trash can, Yunyan grabbed his hand. Yinsi looked at Yunyun with confusion, and Yunyan said with a look of disapproval: "Yinsi, what are you doing? This mooncake is just ugly in shape, it's not broken, why are you throwing it away? Didn't I tell you? Don't waste things!"

Yinsi saw Yunyan's angry look, and he felt a little guilty deep down. But when he looked at the ugly mooncake in his hand, he suddenly felt a little courageous and said confidently: "This mooncake is too ugly, who would want to eat it! I think the big yellow dog at the entrance of the village would not want to eat it!"

"You're just being naive! You still don't want to eat it? I guess you're the only one who doesn't want to eat it. If you give it to anyone in the village, they will like it. You know, the mooncakes I make are the most delicious in the village. Those villagers don't care about the shape of the mooncakes at all. They only care about whether they taste good and whether there is enough ingredients!"

After Yunyan finished speaking, she took the mooncake from Yinsi's hand, and then carefully separated the filling from the dough, while saying disapprovingly: "Yinsi, I know you have been pampered since childhood. From your point of view, it is a waste of this little thing, and it is not worth mentioning at all. But have you ever thought about how much labor those common people have to do to get this piece of mooncake?"

After Yunyan said this, he suddenly paused when he thought of Yinsi's background. He also knew that he couldn't think that Yinsi was bad just because of this little thing. It's just that some things and some habits are really hard to change!

Yunyan sighed softly, and then said with a hint of guilt: "Yinsi, I'm sorry, my words just now may be a little harsh, I apologize to you! Yinsi, I don't care how you are in front of others! But, I wonder if you can be a little more restrained in front of me!"

"There are really too many differences in our habits! Maybe...!"
