Jiang Michia took it, scooped water from the jar, poured it into the bamboo basket, and picked it up to see if there were any water droplets leaking from the bottom of the bamboo basket.
Very well, no.
"It seems like it's been compiled?" Song Jingyun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
"We have to observe again to see how long it can last without leakage." Jiang Michia put the bamboo basket on the table and rolled up his sleeves, "Let's have lunch first."
"good!"
After working all morning, Song Jingyun was already empty.
Jiang Michia cut a piece of pork belly, boiled it in water, stir-fried it until sugar-coated, added seasoning, poured the meat, vegetables, and soup into the rice pot, lit the stove and started steaming.
The steamed rice is full of gravy and has a rich flavor. The pork belly has been in the pot for a long time, making it soft and fragrant. It is also paired with vegetables such as potatoes and radishes...
Jiang Michia even ate two bowls.
After eating, Jiang Michia looked at the bamboo basket containing water again.
Very good, still no leaks.
In the evening, Jiang Youcheng and Liu came back.
I brought back a leg of lamb, a small jar of soy beans, half a basket of pears, and some mooncakes I bought when passing through town.
"This leg of lamb was injured in a fight between one of your grandfather's sheep and another sheep. It died within two days. The dead sheep couldn't be sold at a high price, and it happened to be August 15th. Your grandfather told everyone It’s a festival to share a portion, and we happened to be at home, so we shared a leg of lamb.”
Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "Let's stew it up tomorrow night. The soy beans are made from watermelon sauce. I'll heat them up later. Let's eat them slowly. The pear is picked from the tree at home. It's not big." It’s big, but there’s been little rain this year, so these pears are very sweet. You take these mooncakes and eat them first.”
While talking, Mrs. Liu stuffed Jiang Michia and Song Jingyun with moon cakes.
Jiang Michia took a bite and realized that her piece was stuffed with five kernels.
Peanuts, sesame seeds, walnut kernels, melon seeds, almonds, and classic green and red silk are used. A lot of oil and sugar are used. The mooncake's pastry is also soft enough, and it tastes fragrant and not dry.
Even Jiang Michia, who hated five-nut mooncakes in her previous life, couldn't help but praise how delicious they were.
It seems that the five-nut mooncakes are not delicious. It is not the five-nut pot, but it is not delicious enough.
Jiang Michia held the five-nut moon cake and ate it with gusto.
The mooncake in Song Jingyun's hand was filled with jujube paste. When he took a bite, it was soft, glutinous and sweet, filling his mouth with a sweet taste.
What kind of fairy food is this? It’s so delicious!
Song Jingyun was so excited that she almost shed tears. She just wanted to swallow the delicious mooncake in one bite, but she was reluctant to swallow it wholeheartedly, so she only ate slowly and in small bites.
"Mom said I bought this thing in town, why have I never seen it before?" Song Jingyun was a little confused.
He has rummaged through almost all kinds of food in the town during this period. He has tasted almost all the delicious ones, the average ones, and the not-so-delicious ones, but he has never tasted this.
"Mooncakes are only available on August 15th and are not sold normally." Jiang Michia explained, "Well, they are just like the rice dumplings eaten during the Dragon Boat Festival. They belong to a specific festival."
"That means there will be no more after tomorrow?" Song Jingyun asked.
"Absolutely. Even if there is some, it will be the leftovers from the past few days. Once sold out, it will be gone. We won't make it this year. If you want to eat it, you have to wait until next year." Jiang Michia replied.
Song Jingyun, "..."
Although his parents bought a lot of mooncakes this time, they can only eat them for two or three days at most. If he wants to eat such delicious mooncakes again, he will have to wait until next year?
"But every month has the fifteenth day, and the moon is so round, why can't we eat moon cakes every month?" Song Jingyun tried to argue and try again.
"But this is custom, and everyone's default rules are like this."
"But..." Song Jingyun's face was full of regret, even a little heartbroken.
Seeing this, Jiang Michia comforted her, "But if you think this mooncake is delicious and want to eat it often, it's not impossible. There are two ways."
"The first way is to learn how to make mooncakes ourselves. The second way is to pay a mooncake shop to make mooncakes for us."
"Making mooncakes requires an oven, the ratio of various materials, and the techniques for making mooncakes. It will take a long time to learn, and this skill is the capital of those who sell mooncakes. Even if we want to learn, we only need to I’m afraid they won’t teach me, so the first method is not very feasible.”
"This is the second method. As the saying goes, money can make all the difference. As long as we give you enough money, the shop will make money in whatever business it does. We are also willing to make some mooncakes specially for you."
Song Jingyun blinked.
In other words, giving enough money means having moon cakes to eat, and if he wants to eat moon cakes at any time, he needs to have enough money.
Moreover, since mooncakes are like this, other foods should also be like this.
For example, rice dumplings for the Dragon Boat Festival!
So what he needs to do now is work hard to make more money.
Well, make more money!
For mooncakes, for more delicious ones like mooncakes!
That night, under the bright moonlight, Song Jingyun started crazy basket weaving mode. Jiang Michia urged her twice in a row, but Song Jingyun still refused to go to bed.
Jiang Michia simply carried her son-in-law to the bed, forced him to take off his shoes and clothes, and then his son-in-law obediently washed up and went to bed.
Seeing her little husband-in-law sleeping peacefully and peacefully on the pillow, Jiang Michia breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes and slept soundly.
The next morning, when it was bright and clear, Jiang Michia woke up.
Was woken up.
There was a subtle clicking sound in the yard.
Jiang Michia rubbed her sleepy eyes, yawned and put on her coat, opened the window to take a look, and saw Song Jingyun splitting bamboo slices, strips, and weaving bamboo baskets in the yard.
Jiang Michia, "..."
This is too diligent.
Although diligence is a good thing, if you are too diligent...
The little husband-in-law, who is so thin and weak, has finally managed to gain some meat before he gets tired and sick.
Jiang Michia put on her clothes, went to the yard, carried her son-in-law back to the house, and asked with a serious face, "Why are you suddenly working day and night? Is there something wrong?"
"It's nothing." Song Jingyun scratched his ears sheepishly, "I just want to make more money."
“What are you going to do to make more money?”
Jiang Michia felt that although her family was not as good as those from wealthy families, it could still be considered a well-off life in the village, and they lived a prosperous life.
"Buy moon cakes and buy food." Song Jingyun answered simply, "Buy all kinds of delicious things you want to eat."
Yes, I knew it was because she said last time that she could order mooncakes if she had money. Considering the greedy temperament of my little husband-in-law, it’s not surprising that he would do this.
Although it is a good thing to work hard to make money and be motivated, the current son-in-law is obviously overly motivated.
