The Mid-Autumn Festival is a reunion day. Many wandering wanderers will try their best to come back to reunite with their families on this day. Brothers who have been separated will also gather for a reunion dinner, and all the good wine and dishes will be served on the table. Of course, moon cakes are also indispensable.
Villagers in Taoyuan Village eat mooncakes by themselves, and the fillings are somewhat different. However, it is the mainstream to put melon seeds, walnuts and peanuts, and there are also wealthy families who will relax.
Rong Wan's mooncake filling is made of fine sugar, melon seeds and peanut kernels, green silk and red silk. The oil used is melon seed oil and cooked noodles are added. After kneading them together, they will be crushed into one. A dough of the same size, wrap it in the skin, and press it on the mold. The mold is from the borrowed grandfather's house. It is a complete set, and the carvings are very delicate.
Dad Rong and his brothers plated a stove in the yard, where moon cakes were baked.
The mooncakes just out of the oven were still hot, and Rong Huan and the others had already surrounded them. They couldn't wait to break a piece and put it in their mouth.
Little Rong can't eat anything like her brothers without any scruples. She can only eat a little stuffing and crumbling crust, which is really delicious. Because the filling is made of granulated sugar, it doesn't have that soft and sweet feeling, and it tastes sweet and delicious, sweet but not greasy.
In addition to keeping the home-made mooncakes, they are also given to relatives and friends to taste. This is a custom in Taoyuan Village. Aunt Rong bought oil paper back, wrapped the four mooncakes into a pack, and then tied a paper string. When I went out to visit relatives and friends, each family gave a bag. It was not a precious thing, but a heartfelt wish.
Of course, Rongwan's family also received a lot. Some of them are very delicious and rich in fillings. The mooncakes sent by some people have few melon seeds and so on. They are all sugar and they are rather greasy to eat.
When the freshness passed, Rong Huan and the others didn't want to eat moon cakes at all, they thought it was too sweet and too greasy. But there are still a lot of moon cakes left. Grandpa Rong and the others are not willing to waste it, so they force everyone to eat a piece of moon cake at every meal until they are finished. Of course, this doesn't include tolerance. She should eat the food, eat the food, drink the soup and drink the soup. She gazed at her brothers' curled eyebrows, and sometimes clapped her hands in applause.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is another activity to be carried out, which is jujube. The sweet and crunchy dates are more attractive to Rong Wan than moon cakes, especially when she is tired of eating moon cakes.
Uncle Rong and Uncle Rong were going to kick the jujube tree first, and some of the ripe jujubes fell to the ground. Rong Huan rushed up to pick it up with a few small ones, instead of using a basket, he just carried his clothes around.
Dad Rong had already approached with a long enough bamboo pole at this time, hitting hard against the densely packed jujubes on the branches, and the maroon jujubes crackled down and fell like rain, so that Rong Huan and the others were clutching them. Head scurrying.
Rong Wan had already stepped away from his calf and was going to pick up dates and eat it. Seeing his brothers were smashed so badly, he couldn't help covering his head with his chubby hand, still muttering "Baba, bad!"
Hearing Rong Wan's accusation, Dad Rong stopped the act of beating the date, and he aggrievedly defended himself. "I have said it several times. I'm going to be a date. You kids know where to stare at the date. Take care to listen to me!"
Uncle Rong and Erbo Rong nodded to prove to Dad Rong.
I blamed my dad, Rong Wan, who was particularly embarrassed. She wanted to please dad, so she picked up a large red date from the ground, speeded up the pace and walked towards Rong Dad, wanting to feed him "Baba, eat, eat!"
She walked a little anxiously. She didn't pay much attention to the scattered jujubes on the ground, and stepped on her foot. As a result, she couldn't stabilize her body and fell to the ground, and the jujube in her hand also fell.
Rong Wan didn't wear many clothes. It really hurts to fall on a piece of jujube, and she almost burst into tears. When Dad Rong picked her up, her dark eyes were filled with tears, and she blinked her eyes, then suffocated.
"Jujube!" Rong Wan pointed at the jujube on the ground with his fleshy little arm.
Dad Rong hurriedly bent down and picked one up and put it in the palm of Rong Wan's palm. "Dad won't eat it, Xiao Qi will eat it. Xiao Qi is really Dad's little padded jacket. It's so sweet! What a little stinky boy!"
"Sweet, sweet!" Rong Wan handed the dates to his father.
Dad Rong was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear. His eyes were about to be squinted. He bit half of them cheerfully, and he chuckled his mouth. "It's so sweet and delicious!" Uncle Rong and the others were very sour because of the so-so. Can't bear it!
Dad Rong didn't care how envious and jealous his eldest brother and second brother were. He sent the remaining half of the jujube to Rong Wan's mouth, and wanted her to eat it. Only then did Xiao Qi kiss him! But the imagination is always beautiful, but the reality is cruel. Rong Wan glanced at the half of the date he handed over, twisted decisively, and stretched out his hand to hug Grandpa Rong.
"You girl, don't you dislike your dad?" Grandma Rong joked from the side.
"It's definitely true. Dad doesn't care about hygiene, so Xiao Qi won't eat what you leftover!" Rong Ning shouted angrily. Xiaoqi didn't even feed their elder brothers who were so painful, huh, it was all father's fault!
Uncle Rong and Erbo Rong couldn't help but laugh. They felt comfortable when they saw their younger brother's ugly face when he was hit. Why did he always show off that Xiao Qi was closest to him? Look, I've been slapped in the face! !
"We Xiaoqi is a clean girl, so it's strange if you don't dislike you!" Erbo Rong said after laughing enough.
Dad Rong, who was stabbed by his family every time, felt down again.
After the dates on the tree were knocked down, Rong Huan and the others picked up all the dates in the basket, and pulled out the big, red and hard dates from the inside, and put them in their mouths as soon as they washed them with water. They were crunchy and sweet. Yes, it's delicious.
Rong Wan wanted to grab the big red dates too, but her teeth were not as good as her brothers. She could only wait for Rong's mother to cut the dates into thin slices and bite them with her little white teeth. The feeling was bad. So a few minutes.
In addition to keeping the dried dates, Grandpa Rong would jump out a part of the crispy red dates to make drunk dates. The sweet, crispy and unique scent of drunk dates are definitely delicious and drooling.
The jujubes that were just hit were rolled on the ground a few times and stained with soil, so the first thing Grandpa Rong had to do was wash the jujube clean. Then let the wind dry out the moisture on the surface of the jujube.
Then Grandpa Rong painted each date with wine and put it in antique porcelain jars. These dates filled two jars, and then pour the wine, shaking and shaking, so that the dates and wine fully contact, and then put The two porcelain jars are sealed. From now on, just shake the two porcelain jars every two days. The steps are as simple as that.
After finishing all this, Grandpa Rong saw Rong Wan, who was looking up at the two porcelain jars, and was teasing. He took a chopstick and dipped it with some white wine, and brought it to Rong Wan's mouth with a smile. Late to say, "Little Qi, this is a good thing, come and taste it!"
Rong Wan licked it obediently. She wanted to taste the taste of the wine, and it smelled quite fragrant. Who knows that just one bite is enough to make her cry, the wine is so spicy!
"Old man, what are you doing!" Grandma Rong just opened the curtain and came in. She saw Rong Wan's white and tender face wrinkled into a bun, and teardrops hung on her curled eyelashes. She smelled the smell of the house, and she suddenly became angry. "You actually drank Xiao Qi, what do you think! What an older child she is!"
Rong Wan just tasted the white wine, and her little face was red, so when the drunk jujube could be eaten, Grandma Rong said nothing to let Rong Wan eat it. But seeing the three drunk jujubes every day is not enough for her brothers, she can't help drooling when she smells the special scent of jujube and wine, she really wants to eat it!
