"Keep your stomach, I'll let you taste a piece later, it's not sweet, but it contains a lot of sugar, in order to protect your teeth, you can't eat too much at a time"

"Got it mother."

With this attempt, her confidence has greatly increased, and the next batch of 20 will be baked.

The aroma of the baked mooncakes made the neighbors and the right neighbors salivate non-stop.

What is Mrs. Qiao's family going to do? It is even more fragrant than the smell from the dim sum shop in the town.

I wanted to find the past, but felt embarrassed, so I endured it for a day.

Throughout the whole day, she did nothing but baked mooncakes. The family of three, apart from cooking something early in the morning, made mooncakes at noon and night.

It's not that I can't take care of it, it's to taste the taste of every mooncake.

At night, Qiao Mai vacated several wooden boxes, wiped them clean, put a white cloth inside, and put mooncakes inside.

A box of 100 yuan, three big boxes of mooncakes, a total of 300 yuan, and there are more than 20 different mooncakes outside, which she left for the children.

After she moved the box into her own room, she put it directly into the space. Only in the space can the smell not change and keep it fresh.

Tired all day, Qiao Mai put all the leftover mooncakes in the children's room, and put some fruits for them.

"Eat some when you're tired, mother won't cook at night."

"Mother has worked hard."

"You have worked hard too."

After closing the door for the child, she tidied up the yard and went back to sleep.

The next day is the first day of the full moon festival.

She packed the mooncakes in rectangular wooden boxes that she ordered in advance. Each box contained five kinds of mooncakes, twelve pieces, six pieces per layer.

Twenty-five boxes were packed and ready to be given as gifts.

The family who helped her catch the thief that day had a box. She didn't deliver it herself. She appointed her two sons to give it to anyone who came to help that day.

Only the neighbor on the right gave three boxes, because that house was shared by three families.

Yuan Jiaqi was both surprised and not surprised when he received the gift box.

Although he didn't go to help catch the thief, he explained the reason, and later made a sign for her himself, and it was expected to give him a gift.

Mrs. Chen was also very surprised when she received the gift. In short, everyone concluded that Mrs. Qiao's gift was a gift of thanks for helping to catch the thief.

Neighbors alone sent out nearly ten boxes, and the remaining fifteen boxes, three boxes were kept in the space, and she personally delivered five boxes to the shop and handed them to Lu Sanniang.

After receiving the gift, Lu Sanniang was very happy. She immediately opened it and shared it with her family. They all said it was delicious.

Qiao Mai smiled and went to the mayor's house with five boxes in one hand and two boxes in the other. She handed the five boxes of mooncakes to the guards.

"Please, brother, send this gift to the mayor, and I won't go in."

"OK."

After the guards went in and came out not long after, Qiao Mai handed the two boxes of mooncakes to the two guards respectively.

"I usually bother the two of you a little bit. It's a holiday. I made it myself. Let's try it."

"Aha, we still have our share?"

"yes."

"Thank you!"

Qiao Mai said goodbye to them and went home. Even though she didn't leave the stall for the past two days, she didn't lose anything. Everyone in the town knew where she lived, and they went straight to the house when they bought things.

Forget about corn, peanuts, etc. This fruit is indispensable during the holidays.

If you want to eat fresh, well, you can only find her, so she also sells goods at home.

In particular, she added oranges, apples, pears, grapes and other fruits during the full moon festival. After two days of rest, she sold more than usual.

Fengyun and Yunfeng were not less fortunate, as long as Qiao Mai sold the goods, they could eat them.

After the gift delivery, we started to prepare the ingredients for tomorrow's treat.

There were quite a few people who came, five from Lu's family, two from the left neighbor, two from the right neighbor, and three from my own family, a total of twelve people.

The two floor tables need to be put together so that you can sit down without force.

Just make do with it, eat well is the main thing, twelve people, twelve dishes, each dish needs to be large.

To this end, she also made a list.

Skip the usual home-cooked dishes and have garlic elbows. Usually they eat stewed ones, so change the way of eating them.

Let’s have some red oil ear shreds. She has pig ears in her freezer. The pig’s body takes up two dishes, dry pot fat intestines, and steamed pork instead of braised pork. This is not greasy.

Let’s have garlic pork ribs, and the pigs account for five dishes, which shows that the pigs have made a great contribution.

If you have a pig, here is a chicken. If you have a child, try to avoid spicy food. Here is a braised chicken nugget, and then a piece of fish. The fish should be crispy. The thorn is soft and cannot hold the child.

Seven dishes, still far from twelve.

These seem to be all meat, so let's have some vegetarian ones.

Here’s tofu, don’t use mapo, let’s have a sauce-flavored tofu with scallion oil, mixed with sesame paste, there is no sesame paste in this era, but there are sesame seeds, this is not far from sesame paste, and it’s not too far away when new things come out It would be too weird.

There are three dishes left, by the way, let's have a fruit salad, the kids will definitely like it.

There are dried shrimps in the market this season. Buy two catties, pick them up when you come back, and stir-fry dried shrimps with leeks. It is also a good dish.

There is still one dish missing, which is a bit of a headache. These are the only dishes sold in the small town. Are there any more?

By the way, you can have a cold black fungus, the dry goods store sells this, and it's normal to make it yourself.

The menu of twelve dishes is done, and I immediately go shopping with a basket.

The son wanted to follow and wanted to help her carry something, so the mother and son each carried a basket.

I made a lot of purchases in the market, and I really worked hard for this meal.

When she came back, she asked Fengyun to steam half a pot of rice, and cooked a piece of braised pork and a piece of vegetables for the child.

After eating, the three of them didn't rest, and started to sort out the ingredients. After they were all packed, Qiao Mai took them into the space to keep them fresh.

Then, wash all the fruits in the same basin and prepare them.

The full moon festival here is the modern Mid-Autumn Festival, but the meaning is different.

What modern people pay attention to is family reunion. This is the day of the fullest moon in the four seasons of the year, also called Luna Festival.

They celebrate it, and I will celebrate it myself. It is a festival, and we will gather together to have fun.

That night, Qiao Mai went to tell Mrs. Chen in person, and invited her to come to the house in the afternoon of the full moon festival, and have a meal together for the festival.

Mrs. Chen was very pleasantly surprised to be invited, and happily agreed.

When it came to the Yuan family, they seemed to have something on their minds, "Miss Qiao, who did you invite?"

"The shopkeeper Lu's family, the neighbor Chen's mother and son on the left, and your father and son."

"They are all female relatives, is it inconvenient for Yuan to go?"

"Who says they are all female relatives?"

"Is there another man?"

"My son, you should have heard of it, and your son, and Chen's son, aren't they all men?"

Yuan Jiaqi was stunned, showing an embarrassed smile, the two rows of neat and white teeth really dazzled Qiao Mai's eyes, it was really nice to smile.

"Tomorrow I may not come, or I may come."

"Oh? What's the matter at home?"

"Yes, I'm going to buy a boxing gift, go home and have a look, I won't stay at home overnight, and I should be back in the afternoon."

"It's okay, we'll wait for you. Besides, I have something else I want to talk to you about."

"Please say!"

"I want to ask you to teach my two sons to read, can you?"

The Yuan family got up and waved their hands, "How can I teach children what I have learned?"

"It's just enlightenment, reading and literacy is good. I haven't thought about their imperial examinations. If it's really this kind of material, it's not too late to send them to school. If you come to teach them, you can teach them for two taels of silver a month. You can only teach them for one afternoon or one morning. It just so happens that your family, Chuan'er, is also learning together, and if Chen's son wants to learn, he will also take it with him, and I will help the child learn to read and write."

"Why don't you go to the school in town?"

Qiao Mai rolled his eyes and couldn't help complaining.

"I would like to send my children there, but my enemy's grandson goes to school there, and his husband temporarily refuses to accept students because of him. He did this after hearing about me. It's really ridiculous."
