Opening a Tavern in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 156 Mooncake Yinyin Mooncake, Fruit Flavored Mooncake

Xiaoyu gently tugged at the corner of Yuyu's clothes, quietly pulled her aside, and whispered in her ear, "Yuyu, go to the space and get the mooncakes printed out. We have to print beautiful patterns on these wrapped mooncakes later. Get out the molds of various styles."

Yuyu was stunned at first, then immediately nodded in understanding, her big eyes twinkling, and she responded in a low voice: "Mom, I know, I'll get it right away."

Having said that, he turned around and walked quickly towards the room where the space items were placed.

After a while, Yu Yu came out with a big box in her arms. The box was filled with various mooncake molds and ancient mooncake characters engraved on them.

Yuyu put the box on the table and said to everyone proudly, "Look, I brought the molds. We will be able to make these mooncakes beautiful in a moment."

Xiaoyu smiled and waved her hands, saying, "Alright, alright, Yuyu, Lihao, Cheng Chumo, and Qin Huaidao, you guys will be responsible for printing those wrapped mooncakes. You have to print them carefully so that each one is beautiful."

A few people responded and enthusiastically gathered around the table where the mooncakes and molds were placed and started to get busy.

Yuyu picked up a wrapped lotus seed mooncake and selected a mold engraved with lotus seed mooncake. She carefully placed the mooncake under the mold, pressed it gently, and then slowly lifted it up. A lotus seed mooncake pattern appeared: "Wow, look, it looks so beautiful when printed like this!" Yuyu said happily.

Not to be outdone, Li Hao chose a mold with an osmanthus pattern and printed the pattern on the red bean paste mooncake, muttering to himself, "After printing the pattern, I feel like the mooncake has reached a new level."

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao laughed and joked while carefully printing their favorite patterns on the jujube paste mooncakes and five-nut mooncakes.

Xiaoyu, on the other hand, has already started preparing the fillings for the fruit mooncakes.

She first took out a few fresh pineapples and peeled them neatly, revealing the golden flesh that exuded an enticing fragrance.

Xiaoyu cut the pineapple into small pieces, put it into the pot, added some sugar and water, and slowly simmered it.

As the temperature rose, the pineapple tumbled in the pot, and the rich pineapple fragrance became stronger and stronger, gradually filling the entire yard. The sweet and sour aroma made people swallow their saliva. "This pineapple filling has a refreshing taste after cooking. It will definitely be delicious for making mooncakes."

Xiaoyu said as she stirred, her eyes full of anticipation.

Then she placed the washed strawberries on the chopping board. Each strawberry was so red and tempting, like a ruby.

Xiaoyu crushed the strawberries, added appropriate amount of sugar and other ingredients, and stirred them carefully. Soon, the brightly colored strawberry filling was ready. The sweet and sour taste made people feel as if they were in a strawberry garden just by smelling it.

Finally, Xiaoyu picked up a few ripe mangoes, gently peeled off the skin, and the orange-yellow flesh exuded a rich fruity aroma.

She put the mango flesh into a bowl, pressed it into a paste with a spoon, added some ingredients to increase the viscosity, and continued to stir it evenly.

The mango filling is rich in fruit aroma, looks sweet and delicate, and has the unique flavor of mango, as if it incorporates the beauty of the entire summer.

Xiaoyu looked at the several kinds of fruit fillings she had prepared, her face full of a sense of accomplishment, and she thought about using them to make fruit mooncakes later.

Hua Da Jiao adjusted her clothes slightly and said to everyone with a smile, "I see you've all done everything well here, so I'll go back first. I still have some things to take care of at home."

As he spoke, his eyes swept around the table filled with wrapped mooncakes and fillings being made, his eyes full of praise: "Today's mooncakes are made with great care. When Mid-Autumn Festival comes, we will definitely be able to enjoy them happily and sweetly."

Xiaoyu hurried forward, took Hua Dajiao's hand, and replied with a smile: "Okay, Dajiao, then you go back to your work. When the mooncakes are ready, I'll send some over for you to try."

Hua Da Jiao waved her hands and said with a bright smile, "Oh, what's there to thank me for? We're all family. Seeing you guys so enthusiastically making mooncakes makes me happy too. I'll be leaving now. You guys get on with your work."

After saying that, he walked out of the yard with steady steps, turning back from time to time to wave to everyone.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and shouted in the direction where Hua Da Jiao was leaving, "Da Jiao, please take care!"

After Hua Da Jiao's figure gradually disappeared from sight, everyone went back to the busy work of making mooncakes.

Yuyu trotted over, her face flushed from running, her eyes sparkling. "Mom, the mooncakes over there are already printed. Are these fruit-flavored fillings ready?"

Xiaoyu smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, go ahead, you guys can start printing these fruit mooncakes."

When Yuyu heard this, a bright smile immediately broke out on her face, and she clapped her hands excitedly: "Great, I want to print pineapple flavored ones, they will definitely look great when printed, and they taste delicious just thinking about it."

As he spoke, he couldn't wait to pick up a wrapped pineapple-filled mooncake, and picked and chose from a pile of molds. Finally, he chose a mold with a pineapple pattern. The pineapple pattern on the mold was lifelike, and it seemed as if he could smell the sweet fragrance of the pineapple.

Xiaoyu looked at Yuyu's eager and happy face, smiled dotingly and said, "Okay, okay, you, be careful with the stamp and don't mess up the mooncakes."

Yuyu nodded repeatedly, carefully placed the mooncake under the mold, and then gently pressed it with her hands. After pressing it well, she slowly lifted the mold, and a mooncake with a beautiful pineapple pattern appeared before her eyes. The pineapple pattern was clear and delicate. "Wow, look at this, this pineapple-flavored mooncake is so beautiful!"

Yuyu held up the mooncake and showed it to everyone happily. Her excitement infected the people around her and made them laugh: "Hahahaha"

Seeing this, Li Hao also hurried over and said: "Haha, then I will print it too. I will print strawberry-flavored mooncakes. This red strawberry filling looks tempting."

As he spoke, he picked up a wrapped strawberry-filled mooncake, rummaged through the pile of molds with his big hands, and picked out one with a strawberry pattern engraved on it.

After printing, he slowly lifted up the mold and said, "Look, my printing is pretty good!"

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao were watching from the side, and were also infected by the lively atmosphere. They smiled and joked, "Wow, Brother Hao's cooking skills are pretty good."

After hearing this, Li Hao laughed even more happily, then picked up the next mango-filled mooncake and continued to print it carefully.
