Traveling through the farm, I just want to earn money by farming

After making the puff pastry mooncakes, Qing Ning led them to make oil-skin mooncakes, now known as Cantonese mooncakes. They worked tirelessly until they had three flavors. After baking the puff pastry mooncakes, they baked them a little longer, fearing the inside wouldn't be cooked through and the outside wouldn't be crispy enough.

When they were taken out, they looked just right. Qing Ning picked the one with fresh meat, which tasted better than she had imagined. She let them try the rest.

"This walnut and sesame paste is so fragrant and has a crispy skin. It's delicious." Xue Luo broke it in half and gave the other half to Qi Qiao.

Guo Xian took the longan and red bean paste version and broke off a few pieces to share with the others. Everyone was trying the flavors first. After trying all three flavors, everyone had different preferences, but the two sweet ones were my favorites. The meat ones were less popular.

They put the oil-skin mooncakes into the oven and paid attention to the temperature and time. During this time, Qingning took them to make snow-skin mooncakes.

Snow skin mooncakes are less complex than the first two. Green lemon mooncakes come in several different colors. White is the natural color of glutinous rice, made with blood peach juice and flour, and there's also a wild grape purple skin. In addition to the two traditional flavors, two new fruit flavors have been added. Since the glutinous rice is already steamed, all you need to do is pinch it, place it in a mold, and press it into a flower shape.

"Is this the snow skin mooncake? It looks so cute, I can't bear to eat it." Guo Xian liked it very much and looked at it from left to right.

The mold for the snow skin mooncakes is the same dessert mold used last time. It is really cute with animals and patterns on it.

"Well, the snacks at the Xu family's spring banquet last time were also extremely delicious. I've been thinking about them for a long time." Xue Luo couldn't forget the food from the last spring banquet.

"How does it taste?" Qing Ning asked them to try it.

"It's delicious!" Qiqiao said with her mouth full of food.

Seeing her like this, Qingke handed the piece in his hand to her. Qiqiao shook her head repeatedly.

Qingke said, "Take it and eat it. You can try it and see if there is anything that needs improvement. We are not too eager to eat it right now."

Seeing this, Qi Qiao said nothing more, thanked him and took it and started eating.

Several people gathered together to taste the mooncakes and wait for them to be cooked in the oven.

"What's that fragrant smell? I smelled it near the school." Yu Jinan and his group came over and asked as soon as they entered the yard.

When they saw that it was almost time for dinner, they were so busy that they forgot about the time.

Xue Luo said, "Qing Ning is teaching us how to make mooncakes. They are delicious."

Yu Er and Guo Er came over immediately upon hearing this and asked, "Where is it? Let us have a taste too."

Qingke said, "Don't worry, just sit down first."

The few of them were very obedient and sat quietly. Seeing this, Old Master Yu also found a place to sit.

Qingke packed two plates of snowy rice for them to try, and Qingning boiled water and made tea for them to drink together.

Old Master Yu was enjoying the mooncakes in one hand and tea in the other: "Ning girl, is there something special about this?"

Qing Ning said, "It's not a big deal. Mooncakes are a bit sweet after all, so they're quite refreshing when paired with some tea."

"I don't feel sick of it. The taste is just right. I like the cherry pulp." Although Guo Er eats fast, he is still well-mannered.

Yu Er also agreed. Although the eldest brother of the Guo family didn't say anything, he seemed to like it. Seeing that they were all satisfied with the food, Qing Ning felt a lot more relieved.

"Qingning, how is this mooncake made?" Meng Er ate a piece and found it to his liking.

Qing Ning smiled and said, "Hehe, this is a secret. There are not only this kind, but also two other kinds. This box is almost ready, you can try it later."

Meng Er laughed and shook his head and didn't ask any more questions.

"You guys are so good. You didn't even call me when you had something delicious." Mr. Ma entered the yard and felt a little resentful when he saw that they had all started eating.

Seeing him coming, Old Man Yu quickly handed the plate in his hand to him: "When there is delicious food, we can forget about others but not you. We just ate it too."

Mr. Ma was not polite. He picked up a piece, took a look at it, and then put it in his mouth.

"Well, it's delicious. It has a fruity aroma, and it's sweet, soft, and not greasy." Mr. Ma loved it very much and kept nodding in appreciation.

"Second sister, come and try it too." Qingning called Qingzhu and handed her a piece.

While they were tasting the snow skin mooncakes, the oil skin mooncakes were also baked. There were more baked in this batch, but they could not be eaten for the time being. They had to wait for the oil to recover before they would taste just right.

Another batch of puff pastry was baked, and when the fire was turned off, a group of people couldn't wait to come forward to watch.

When the temperature cooled down a little, everyone quickly finished a piece. The oven was constantly heating, so the group of people were not having fun eating.

"Leave some space in your stomach, as you'll have dinner soon. If you eat too much now, there won't be room for it. Tonight, grandma has made pickled fish and mushroom stuffed meat that you all like," Qing Ning reminded.

"It's okay, I can finish the meal made by Grandma Chen." Yu Jinan patted his stomach, looking very proud.

When the Chen family returned and called them to dinner, they were all half full. Qing Ning picked up a plate of each and left it for the family, and also picked up some to send to the teacher at the school.

Aside from a few teachers, Xue Shu and his attendants, the rest of the students were from the village or neighboring villages and went home at their appointed times. The village chief arranged the teachers' meals, and Xue Shu ate with them at the Qingning family's, with the Xue family paying for the food and meals.

The Chen family now always has two large tables for meals. Having two or three more people doesn't make any difference. The cooking is done by Old Lady Chen, Shu Qing and several servants.

"Oh, is this another new food?" As soon as the mooncakes were placed on the table, everyone in the Chen family stared at them curiously.

"Grandma Chen, Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen, please try it quickly. This mooncake is delicious." Xue Luo couldn't help but urge them to taste it.

Old Mrs. Chen liked the mooncakes with oily skin very much and took a piece. "Yes, it's delicious. Even an old woman like me can chew it without any effort."

The others also picked out their favorites. After eating them, they were delighted and found the taste was really good.

"It seems that you all like to eat it, so it looks like it will sell well." Qing Ning said happily.

"This new product is very appealing, and city people will definitely love it," said Mr. Yu.

Qing Ning continued, "The Moon Festival is about half a month away, so we'll save these for sale during the festival. Mooncakes symbolize reunion, and worshiping the moon brings back homesickness."

Old Master Yu took a sip of his wine and sighed, "It's the full moon again, isn't it?"

"Grandfather Yu, do you miss home?" Guo Xinjun asked.

Old Master Yu glanced at him, then looked away and shook his head: "It just feels like time has passed a little too quickly. This time last year, I was still playing chess with Old Immortal Yu on Junqing Mountain."

The atmosphere was a little sad for a moment, and Qing Ning said, "Grandpa Yu, in life, the most important thing is to enjoy the present moment. Drink today and worry about tomorrow when it comes!"

Yu Shi clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Good Qing Ning, you really are a fellow traveler like me."

"What a great saying, drink today and worry about tomorrow. Come on, let's raise a toast together. Living well in the present is the most important thing." Grandpa Yu suddenly became open-minded and happily invited everyone to drink together.
