"...Actually, it's good to sleep in a room alone. If I have something to do, I can go to the next door to find you."

After Ouyang Qin nodded, Jinse suddenly thought of the benefits of sleeping alone, so she changed her words again.Ouyang Qin naturally let her do everything. After dinner, the two went back to their rooms to take a bath and sleep.After Jinse heard that there was no movement next door, she waited for another half an hour before secretly summoning her Xue Tuan'er.

"Meow~" Although Xuetuan'er is a mount, she is also a big white cat. It meowed twice, and looked at Jinse with her head tilted. Jinse felt that her heart was going to be melted.After riding Xue Tuan'er, Jinse didn't dare to fly, but let Xue Tuan'er take her around the room twice, then put it away and went to sleep contentedly.

After a good night's sleep, when Jinse woke up, she received a reminder from the system that she could complete the task of making mooncakes. After a simple wash, she went to the inn's kitchen.Two hours later, Jinse returned to the room with the red bean paste mooncakes she made. The task was completed, but what to do with the red bean paste mooncakes gave Jinse a headache.

It is definitely reluctant to throw it away, but she feels a little tired of eating it by herself, and she feels a little tired of giving it away... Jinse feels that she is a little bit helpless. After all, she knows the mooncakes she made by herself. It's just a little bit better than "unpalatable".

Jinse, who was very self-aware, lay down on the table and sighed. Just as she was hesitating, there was a knock on the door, and Ouyang Qin, who had a plate of roasted sweet potatoes on her lap, walked in slowly in a wheelchair.

Jinse closed the door and really wanted to destroy the bean paste mooncakes she made, but Ouyang Qin had already noticed the mooncakes, and picked one up curiously: "This is the... mooncake that Hou Wuxin taught you to make?"

In Ouyang Qin's memory, this thing is called Hubing, which is used during Mid-Autumn Festival sacrifices.But in Jinsekou, this cake is called moon cake, which is eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival.The difference is actually not that big. What Ouyang Qin is curious about is why Jinse wants to learn how to make this mooncake. Is there any special meaning for giving mooncakes to future generations?

"Well, but what I made is not delicious, you just have to look at it... Although it doesn't look good. By the way, is this baked potato for me?"

Although it has been pressed with a mold, baking in an ancient stove is not as good as using a modern oven. Jinse’s bean paste mooncakes not only taste ordinary, but also have an indescribable shape. The topic changed to what Ouyang Qin brought in just now.

Ouyang Qin nodded, put down the mooncake and pushed the plate with roasted sweet potatoes towards Jinse: "I just went outside and saw many people buying roasted sweet potatoes, so I bought two. Later generations Call it a baked potato?"

Ouyang Qin really feels the cultural difference between the present world and the later generations today. It is obviously the same thing, but it is called differently.Jinse picked up the hot roasted sweet potatoes and peeled them, nodded, then shook her head: "Not all of them are called baked sweet potatoes, but there are also roasted sweet potatoes, and there are also roasted sweet potatoes and roasted sweet potatoes, which are just names. Let’s call it baked sweet potato.”

The hot roasted sweet potato is golden yellow when peeled, and it tastes sweet when you bite into it, which is very delicious.Jinse finished eating in one bite and took another big bite. At this moment, Ouyang Qin picked up her red bean paste mooncake again and asked, "Can I eat this mooncake?"

"...Of course, if you don't dislike it." Seeing Ouyang Qin's expectant eyes, Jinse had no way to say the word of refusal.Anyway, the most he could do was to be disgusted by Ouyang Qin, Jinse felt that he could accept it, but if he was really disgusted, Jinse felt that he would still feel very heartbroken.

Seeing Ouyang Qin take the first bite, Jinse's mouth also stopped chewing, holding her breath and waiting for Ouyang Qin's feedback.As the mooncakes were swallowed by Ouyang Qin one by one, his expression changed, but it was a seriousness that Jinse couldn't understand.Even if her mooncakes are terrible, shouldn't it be this expression?Not only did Jinse feel stuffy, but she also lost her appetite. There was still half of the roasted sweet potato in her hand, and she didn't want to eat any more.

"Jinse." After Ouyang Qin finished eating a red bean paste mooncake, she was silent for a while before she spoke, "Don't belittle yourself, the mooncakes you made taste really good, you have to be more confident in yourself."

"Oh..." Jinse was stunned for a moment, never expecting Ouyang Qin to say that.She thought he was just encouraging her, but she didn't expect Ouyang Qin to eat all the mooncakes she made one bite at a time.Jinse held the somewhat cold roasted sweet potato, and just watched Ouyang Qin helplessly after eating the whole plate of mooncakes.Although the sweet potato is cold, my heart is getting warmer and warmer.

"Are you full? Why don't we go for a walk?" Ouyang Qin wiped her hands, seeing Jinse holding half a sweet potato but refusing to eat it, she guessed that she was full.

Jinse nodded, put down half of the sweet potato, washed her hands hastily, and pushed Ouyang Qin out of the room.She was actually not full, but she didn't want to miss this opportunity to be alone with Ouyang Qin, and she didn't want to miss it either.

Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the city of Jiangdu is becoming more and more lively. There are jugglers, performers, and all kinds of snacks on the streets.Jinse stood in front of the sugar seller's stall and couldn't move her legs. Ouyang Qin smiled and took out her purse and asked Jinse which one she liked.

Although Jinse felt a little embarrassed, she still chose a Chang'e shape, and talked about the story of Chang'e flying to the moon while eating.Jinse had heard this well-known story when she was young, but what she heard at that time was completely different from the version she heard when she grew up.

One theory is that after Hou Yi shot the sun, he received the medicine of immortality from the Queen Mother of the West. Chang'e, who was eager to seek immortality, stole the medicine one day while Hou Yi was not paying attention, transformed into a fairy, and then flew to the Moon Palace.

Another way of saying is that after getting the fairy medicine, Houyi was reluctant to eat it, and was coveted by the villain Pengmeng, forcing Chang'e to hand over the fairy medicine. Chang'e swallowed the fairy medicine in desperation and flew to the moon.It was the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, and the moon was big and round. After returning home, Houyi was heartbroken, so every August fifteenth, he held a banquet to face the moon and reunited with Chang'e.

Although the results of these two versions are the same, the process is completely different. When Jinse was a child, she always thought that Chang'e was a selfish person. When she grew up, she was completely dumbfounded when she heard the latter version of the story.Thinking about it now, legends are just legends after all, who knows what kind of story it is, and what future generations know is always somewhat biased.

"Brother Ouyang, what kind of person do you think Chang'e is? Which story is true?"

Jinse bit the sugar figurine with Chang'e's pattern, and couldn't help asking Ouyang Qin's opinion.Ouyang Qin closed her eyes, her thoughts drifted far away, and her voice sounded a little far away: "Everyone has different opinions on things in this world. For me, it means believing what I believe, without complaining or regretting. "
