Dressed as a middle-aged mistress, I want to lie down every day

Modern dim sum is generally divided into southern and northern styles according to taste. The northern style is Beijing style, which is made without adding any oil. Although it is soft in the mouth, it does not feel greasy.

Southern style includes Su style, Yang style and Yue style. Oil needs to be added during the production process, and the taste is soft and delicate.

Many families make some snacks themselves. It's not too difficult. The main thing is to have the ingredients, such as butter, which can be extracted from milk.

Fortunately, the Mo family lived in the countryside, so it was easy to find milk-producing cows. Mo Chenxi asked his mother to send someone to buy milk to prepare homemade butter.

I also asked my eldest brother to custom-make a fast-rotating egg beater that can be hand-cranked.

They can make butter, which is needed for most pastries, and the texture and taste are different from other places.

When Mo Yuanji heard his wife talk about what their daughter wanted to prepare, he said, "Do whatever she asks, and give Dazhi some money. Also, pick a few people around you to help, and keep your mouth shut."

He thought of his daughter's shop. Was she going to turn it into a dim sum shop?

I told my wife not to ask anything and to let my daughter do whatever she wants.

To make mung bean cakes, you need a mold. Mo Chenxi drew a picture and asked his eldest brother to find a carpenter to make it to order in various shapes, and also with some auspicious words, such as "as blessed as the east sea" and "a lifetime of wealth and honor".

While the tools were being made, Mo Chenxi asked the maids her mother assigned to her to beat the egg whites with chopsticks until their arms were sore while she made the cake.

This is the simplest dessert for people who like baking in modern times, but it is a rarity for people who have never eaten it in ancient times.

Fluffy, soft, sweet but not greasy.

The first thing Mrs. Mo did was to eat a big piece.

"No wonder you said you couldn't eat the snacks sold in Beijing. Where did you learn this?"

She thought to herself, maybe the old witch in the He family eats it every day, and her daughter is filial to her mother-in-law, but she didn't think of bringing a bite for her own parents to try.

Sitting in the room were the old couple Mo Yuanji and the Mo Xinzhi brothers, and they didn't let their wives come in.

Mo Chenxi explained slowly: "This is my first time too. I suddenly fell ill last time and felt like someone was urging me to go faster. At that time, I thought it was not my reincarnation, so why would they urge me?

"When we reached a bridge, an old woman was sitting by the bridge, with a large pot of steam rising from it. The old woman told the man who was urging me to hurry me along that the soup was just ready and that it was too hot, so I asked him to have a snack and rest for a while.

"I took the dim sum and it looked good. I took a bite and it was soft. I thought about my mother saying that she couldn't chew hard things because she was old, so I asked grandma how to make dim sum. She told me.

"At this time, someone came to look for the person who brought me here. He said he would be back soon. So I helped the old lady with the work. I was surprised. There was no firewood under the pot. How could she cook the soup? The soup was even steaming.

"I didn't dare to ask. I just wanted to remember how to make snacks. The old lady said that I came here at such a young age, and there were no relatives at home. I don't know why, but my heart ached. My parents raised me so much, and I haven't shown my filial piety to them yet.

"At that time, I thought that when I returned home, I would definitely make snacks for my parents. I told the old lady that although I was a daughter, my parents worried about me the most. I had neglected my parents and my family for more than ten years since I got married.

"When I saw the old woman's loving eyes, I felt like I was seeing my mother. I hugged her and cried bitterly. The person who rushed me came back and told me that they had arrested the wrong person. The old woman told me to go back and be filial to my parents."

She was crying as she spoke.

Old Mrs. Mo was crying beside her, and Mo Yuanji also felt that he had thought too much before. His daughter almost died, but before she was reincarnated, she thought of her parents.

The Mo Xinzhi brothers had tears in their eyes. The old woman that the eldest sister mentioned was Meng Po. No wonder the eldest sister was so sick. She must have been to the underworld and had negative energy on her body. Otherwise, the eldest sister always said that the sun was out and they wanted to bask in the sun outside.

Mo Chenxi said this because she knew that ancient people believed in this the most. In the future, if she wanted to do something new, she would attribute it to what Meng Po taught her.

There must be an explanation for the changes in her temperament and character.

OK, the problem was solved perfectly by making snacks this time. There was no doubt on the faces of the Mo family members, and they were all full of emotion.

Mo Yuanji didn't ask his daughter whether she used the shop to make snacks. He was soft-hearted, but still remained rational. He wanted to see what his daughter would do when his son-in-law couldn't pay back the usury.

Mo Chenxi received full support from the Mo family. She knew that in ancient times, prescriptions were the most important thing. She followed her instructions, and those who worked were all her mother's confidants. Her mother did not even let her two sisters-in-law participate.

She planned to spend a month deciding on the types of dim sum, and try to reopen the shop before the New Year. She would also open a chain and ask her mother's family to open one in the county town.

Let’s not talk about this for now. Let’s talk about it when we open the shop.

Not only did she make snacks, she also tried cooking and making various soups. Fortunately, she was the only one who did the cooking while the other maids did the work.

The doctor came to take her pulse every few days and changed the prescription. He also provided her with good food and drink. Apart from making snacks and cooking, she didn't have to worry about anything else. In addition, she was in a good mood, and she gained several pounds in a month.

Not to mention that she had a fulfilling and happy life in Mojiazhuang.

Take the He family in Beijing as an example.

Mrs. Jiang complained to her son, "When the Mo family sent people to visit Jingyi, they brought back some worthless vegetables they grew themselves. One time, they brought back less than ten pounds of pork ribs, not enough for a whole family to eat."

She had previously thought that if she kept her eldest granddaughter, the Mo family would send her gifts from time to time and give her money. She asked her granddaughter, and she said that she had no money and had given it all to her grandmother.

He Wenyan and his brother listened to their mother's complaints without saying a word. They both thought that the Mo family was just in-laws, and at least they had taken ten pounds of pork ribs, although it was not as much as before.

But what about my uncle's family? Every time they come, they buy snacks worth 500 yuan. How can my mother still have the nerve to bother the Mo family?

He Wenyan was feeling upset. He gave half of the money he borrowed at interest to his mother and kept the other half for socializing. Why didn't he realize before that he spent so much money on socializing every month?

He was too embarrassed to ask his third brother about finding a way to get some money back as he had promised.

At the beginning, he said he would borrow the money for one month and he had already calculated the interest, but this month was about to come, how would he pay back the debt?

The interest rate of usury is not a small amount.

He Wenliang did borrow some money, and he spent half of it on his last visit to the Mo family. Before he could give the remaining half to his mother, he spent it all on two consecutive social events and buying gifts.

He knew that his wife had some private money, but how could he, a grown man, have the nerve to ask his wife for it?

Madam Jiang was still complaining, "When will Jingyi's mother come back? You don't even go to pick her up. Your uncle's birthday is next month, and it won't look good if you don't bring enough gifts."

He Wenyan was already fretting over the loan sharking, and now, hearing his mother still thinking about giving his uncle a gift, he couldn't stand it any longer. He blurted out, "What does my uncle's birthday have to do with my wife? Is it possible that my uncle's birthday won't be celebrated just because my wife goes back to her parents' home?"

He Wenliang was surprised. When did his elder brother dare to confront his mother?

However, he secretly gave his elder brother a thumbs up for finally standing up for once.
