On the day of the autumn festival, when it was still daylight, An Rubao started to work in the kitchen.First, white sugar is adjusted into a slurry, and alkali is added with water to make alkaline water.Pour into the flour and mix with raw oil.In fact, he couldn't remember exactly how many proportions of various materials should be added.However, I did not dare to put too much alkaline water and raw oil.After the dough is reconciled, cut into pieces for later use.Then, take out the bean paste cooked yesterday, pour in the crushed duck egg yolk that has been cooked in advance and mix well.At this step, An Rubao felt something was wrong while reconciling.After thinking about it carefully, I really couldn't remember the specific operation steps, so I finally decided to just do it.

Make up the stuffing, use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a sheet, wrap the stuffing in it, and then flatten it.A mooncake would be fine.The appearance is really bad, An Rubao said that the molds are too advanced and completely unnecessary.However, he didn't dare to do more, for fear of ruining things, he only made thirty of them.

After the mooncakes are ready, how to bake them is a problem. However, this is not a problem for An Rubao, he has already prepared for it.

He took out the iron plate he used to replace the baking pan, put the mooncakes on it, and arranged them.According to memory, I beat a few eggs, only using egg yolks, not egg whites, and brushed them on the mooncakes with a brush.Then he lit the earthen stove in the kitchen, and when the fire was well lit, he put some small pieces of wood on it.Then put on an iron shelf of suitable size - he measured the size of the iron shelf and made it himself with thicker wire - a simple oven is ready An Rubao carefully put the baking tray into the oven - —The baking tray should not be too big, and only a few can be placed at a time—cover the stove with a lid, and squat next to the stove, watching the fire while waiting for the mooncakes to come out of the oven.

Soon, a sweet smell wafted from the kitchen, attracting An Xuan who got up early to go fishing in the river into the kitchen.When he entered the door, he asked, "What are you doing? It smells so delicious." An Rubao smiled and said, "I learned to make a new kind of food called autumn pancakes. You can eat them when you come back from fishing."

An Xuan took a deep breath of the fragrance, and left contentedly.An Rubao continued to watch the fire, estimated the time, and felt that it was about 10 minutes, so he quickly opened the lid of the pot.

The billowing hot air rushed towards his face, An Rubao coughed twice, holding two pairs of chopsticks in his hand, clamping the two ends of the iron plate, slowly took out the plate and put it on the pot table.

There were a total of six mooncakes on the plate, and the smell was okay, but the appearance was black, black, yellow, and a bit miserable.At this time, Qin Feng also came to the kitchen. Seeing his young master staring at a plate of something he didn't know what it was in a daze, he hurried over and said, "What's the matter? The autumn pancakes are ready, give me a taste..." See Seeing the unknown object on the plate, he didn't say the last word.

An Rubao was depressed, he thought about it carefully, and felt that there should be no big difference in the steps, why are there so many differences?He remembers doing it like this, how could it be...Suddenly, he flashed his mausoleum, slapped his head and said: "By the way, you need to apply egg wash twice, but you forgot."

Finding the problem, An Rubao's confidence doubled.Ambitiously start the production of the next plate.As for the previous dish, An Rubao decided to comfort his old horse, he really didn't have the courage to try it himself.

In the second round, An Rubao was much more comfortable with the previous experience.After about 10 minutes, he opened the lid of the pot, took out the iron plate, and poured the egg liquid into the mooncakes one by one.Then put the plate in and continue to bake.

After another 10 minutes, An Rubao took a deep breath, opened the lid of the pot, and took out the iron plate.This time, the color of the six mooncakes in the iron plate was much better than that of the previous plate, and the fragrance was stronger.An Rubao was delighted, picked up one, took a bite, and savored it carefully.The skin is sweet and the filling is soft and glutinous. Although it is not a bit worse than the mooncakes he has eaten before, the taste is also very good.At the very least, the materials used are all natural and pollution-free, and the natural fragrance is incomparable.

Under An Rubao's reassurance, Qin Feng hesitated to pick up a piece and tasted it, and was immediately impressed by the taste. He ate it with big mouthfuls, and said, "Well, it's not bad, it's delicious." After eating it, he took the initiative He asked Ying to ask him to bake the next batch.As for how to bake, he was by the side just now, and he remembered everything clearly.

An Rubao was also happy to abdicate to give way to Xian, and explained the baking process to his grandmother carefully, then wrapped the remaining mooncakes in cloth and left the house, and drove all the way to the village entrance——Song Chu was waiting for Duan Anren at the entrance of the village. The first batch of mooncakes baked by himself, no matter what, I had to show him to taste first.

Because it was the autumn festival, no one in the village had to go to the fields, and there were many people coming and going on the street. Most of them would greet him warmly when they saw him coming.An Rubao hadn't been here for a long time, and he didn't know many people, but he still smiled and nodded. When he finally arrived at the entrance of the village, he felt that his face was almost frozen from laughing, and his neck was numb.

There is a small hill at the entrance of Qingshan Village, and the road leading to the outside of the village has an extra bend here.

Turning the corner, An Rubao saw Song Chu standing not far away, and opposite him stood a young man who was a head taller than him, and the two of them were talking about something.The young man was facing him sideways, he couldn't see his face clearly, but from the expressions of the two people, it was clear that they were acquaintances.An Rubao suddenly felt a sense of crisis, and walked up to Song Chu calmly.

The young man was about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in coarse cloth, and looked very upright.When An Rubao approached, he heard him say: "...what's the matter?"

Song Chu was not in a hurry to answer, first he smiled at An Rubao, and then turned to the young master, "Brother An Ren, I came here to wait for you because of Xiao Ling." This young master was An Ren.

An Ren went to the town to learn crafts more than three months ago, and when he came back for the first time today, he was blocked at the entrance of the village, feeling very unhappy.Now that Song Chu said it was because of An Ling, the impatience on his face eased a bit, and he frowned and asked, "What's wrong with Xiao Ling?"

Song Chu stared at him closely, and said word by word: "Xiaoling is going to be a foster husband in two days, I think we grew up together anyway, and I'm waiting here to let you know."

An Ren's expression changed immediately, he grabbed Song Chu's shoulder with both hands, and said in a voiceless voice: "What did you say? You said that Xiao Ling is going to be a foster husband?! This is impossible, Xiao Ling promised to wait for me, he can't Abandoning me...impossible..."

As soon as An Rubao saw An Ren's hand reaching out, he put his arms around Song Chu's waist and dodged to the side, dodging.An Ren grasped the air with both hands, and didn't care, just muttered in a daze, "Impossible...Impossible..."

When Song Chu saw his dull eyes, his face was full of shock and disbelief, it didn't seem like a fake.Thinking of the suspicion that he had said something hurtful to An Ling before, it seems that he guessed wrong at the moment.The doubts in his heart were even worse, and he frowned and asked: "Xiaoling's aunt said that Xiaoling went to the town to look for you a few days ago, and something was wrong when he came back. Did you see him? What did you tell him?"

An Ren was in various moods. Hearing his question, he recalled subconsciously, and said, "A few days ago? No, I was an apprentice in Carpenter Liu's woodware shop. I haven't been out of the woodware shop for a month. I haven't seen him go there... Could it be..."

He suddenly widened his eyes, as if he had just returned to his soul, and seemed to be talking to Song Chu, "Yes, he must have encountered something when he went to town that day...Fool, what happened?" You can't tell me things... No, I'm going to find him, I'm going to ask him, I won't let him give it to others. He is mine, mine..." He said like crazy In general, he ran to the village.

An Rubao and Song Chu were caught off guard by this sudden scene.It took a long time to slow down.Look at the things that An Ren dropped on the ground, look at each other, pick them up resignedly, and walk to An Ling's house - you can definitely find An Ren there.

An Ren ran wildly all the way, and he didn't bother to say hello to the villagers he met on the way. He only had An Ling in his eyes.The little An Ling, the soft and weak An Ling, the gentle and firm An Ling, and...the shy and blushing An Ling...every An Ling is his, his!No one can take it away.

The gate of An Ling's house was closed.An Ren rushed to the top, slammed the courtyard door loudly, and shouted: "Xiao Ling, uncle, An Yuan, open the door, I'm An Ren."

Lu Ming has a lot of family affairs these days, his energy is not good, and he is too lazy to spend the Spring Festival, so he is resting in the house.He came out when he heard the knock on the door, listened carefully, it was actually An Ren.At that time, I was angry from my heart, and I walked around the courtyard to find a wooden stick behind my back, and then went forward to unlock the latch and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, An Ren rushed in, and hurriedly asked Lu Ming, "Uncle, is Xiao Ling there?" Asking, he ran towards An Ling's room.Lu Ming took out the wooden stick behind him, greeted An Ren, gritted his teeth and scolded: "You bastard, what are you doing here? Haven't you hurt Xiao Ling enough! Get out of here, get out..."

An Ren was beaten twice, but he didn't dodge. He knelt down in front of Lu Ming and said decisively, "Uncle, you can hit me. I'm the bastard. I'll bear it if you beat me to death today. But before that , I want to see Xiao Ling, I have something to say to him. After finishing speaking, it is up to you to vent your anger. You...you just let me see him. "

Lu Ming raised the wooden stick in his hand and was about to refuse. He looked up and saw that An Ling had occupied the outside of the house at some point, and was staring at An Ren who was kneeling on the ground with tears in his eyes. Throwing down the stick, he turned and went back to the house.

An Ren turned his head and saw An Ling who was not far away. With agitated mind, he called out "Xiao Ling" and got up and ran over.But An Ling was one step ahead of him, stepped into the room, and closed the door behind him, Ren Anren beat and begged outside but refused to open.

An Ren was at his wit's end, An Rubao and Song Chu came.The two of them put the things in the yard, seeing An Ren's distressed appearance, they guessed that he must have been beaten, and now they were shut down again.

Song Chu gave An Ren a white look, pushed him away from the door, went forward and knocked lightly twice, and called softly: "Xiao Ling, it's me, I'm Xiao Chu, please open the door."

There was a moment of silence in the door, and An Ling opened the door with tears all over his face after a long while. Song Chu also felt uncomfortable when he saw it, and gave An Ren another look before entering the room.When An Ren saw the door opened, he was too happy to think about whether he would be seen or not, so he followed in cheekily.

As for An Rubao, he is naturally inseparable from his prospective husband-in-law.

The room An Ling lived in was very small, except for a mottled and colorless cabinet, there was a small bed made of wooden boards.It was cleaned up.An Ling pulled Song Chu to sit on the bed, bowed his head and remained silent.There was no other place to sit in the room, so An Rubao stood leaning against the cabinet, while An Ren squeezed in front of An Ling, looked down at the top of his head and said, "Xiao Ling, I heard from Xiao Chu that you are going to give people Is it true to be a foster husband? Why do you want to do this?"
