The whole family traveled through ancient times and fled in an RV

Chapter 220 Mid-Autumn Festival Chapter

The sweet smell spread, attracting children to gather at the door of the main room, and they couldn't be driven away.

Everyone made an appointment to go to the morning market, and Lin Youcai's family bought a mule cart of food.

In addition to the dishes on the table, we also bought ingredients for making mooncakes. As soon as we got back, everyone got busy.

It was still early, and the Lin family worked together to make mooncakes. The sweet and delicate bean paste was cooked and served in a basin on the table in the main hall.

Lin Zisu, Lin Cuihe, Lin Xiatao, and Lin Qiuyue washed their hands and took the mooncake wrappers to wrap the small mooncakes with red bean paste fillings. They rolled them into a small ball and used a mooncake mold to shape and emboss them.

The two little guys, Shen Anda and Shi Tao, took the big mooncakes given by Lin Zisu and happily went to share them with their friends.

Lin Zisu didn’t use a mooncake mold, but directly made two larger red bean-filled mooncakes, baked them in an iron pan, and took them out to give to the two little ones.

It was really like a thorn in the back, being stared at by two kids with green eyes and drooling from time to time while doing anything!

The others were also greedy. In this era with a large gap between the rich and the poor and clear class divisions, even though the Lin family was considered a well-off farming family, it was rare for them to eat cakes and sweets.

But the older kids and teenagers know how to control themselves and choose to go outside to help with work or play. If you can't smell it, you won't be greedy!

Not to mention other people, Lin Zisu and Lin Xianwen were very greedy, especially the mooncakes that had just come out of the pot, which smelled fragrant. The mooncake skin was crispy and crisp, and the filling inside was sweet and delicate. The two siblings also swallowed their saliva secretly, trying hard not to eat secretly.

After wrapping the red bean paste filling, Lu Zhen brought out a bowl of lotus seed filling, and Shen Xianglan brought out a small bowl of salted egg yolk.

Shen Xianglan: "Put a salted egg yolk inside the lotus seed-filled mooncake."

Lin Cuihe: "Okay, Fourth Aunt."

Lin Zisu: "Mom, when do we have lunch?"

Shen Xianglan: "Let's have a simple lunch, one bowl of noodles per person. I stir-fried some pork stew, fried peanuts, and added chili oil to make a big bowl."

Lin Zisu swallowed and said, "Okay, okay."

Lin Qiuyue: "If it's made by Fourth Aunt, it must be very delicious! I'm drooling just listening to it!"

Lin Xiatao smacked her lips. "Of course it's delicious!"

Lin Zisu looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "You two have also learned how to flatter!"

Shen Xianglan smiled and walked to the kitchen. These children still have mooncake fillings to mix. Conditions are limited, so I bought all the ingredients I could buy. This year, I will make three flavors of mooncakes.

Lin Qiuyue lowered her voice and said, "This is the first time I've seen mooncakes with salted egg yolks. I've eaten mooncakes with lotus seeds before!"

Lin Zisu asked curiously: "What kind of fillings do you eat in mooncakes?"

Lin Qiuyue thought about it. She had only eaten mooncakes a few times since she was a child. "It's filled with bean paste. It feels different from the bean paste filling here. It doesn't smell as good as today's."

Lin Cuihe looked at her with amusement, "Of course! Fourth Aunt is willing to put sugar in it! The mooncake skin is made of sugar, eggs, and lard! How can it not be fragrant!"

Lin Xiatao kept her hands busy, turned her head to look at Lin Zisu and asked, "Sister, have you ever eaten mooncakes with salted egg yolks? Is it delicious?"

Lin Zisu nodded, "It's delicious! The salted egg yolk is very fragrant! There is also a kind of mooncake with a flowing filling. Take a bite and the filling will flow out. Wow~"

The three of them looked at her blankly. Lin Zisu smiled and said, "Next time I buy some ingredients, I'll make it for you to try."

The four of them were wrapping mooncakes and chatting at the same time when Lu Zhen and Yang Dong each brought in a pot of fillings.

The freshly mixed filling had a strong aroma that hit her face. Lin Zisu was glad that the four of them wore cloth masks when they were wrapping mooncakes, otherwise everyone would have to eat mooncakes with special "ingredients".

"Have you finished wrapping the mooncakes?" Yang Dong looked at the finished mooncakes in the bamboo dustpan next to her. She put down the bowl of stuffing, picked up the bamboo dustpan and took it to the kitchen to bake.

Lu Zhen: "This is a big mooncake with five-nut filling. Remember to add two salted egg yolks to a big mooncake. Is the mooncake skin gone?"

Lin Cuihe: "Mom, there is still some left, not enough to make big mooncakes."

Lu Zhen: "I'll go get the mooncake skin."

Finally, the five-nut mooncakes were made, and the aunts also joined in and quickly wrapped them. After all the mooncakes were baked, they were placed in a bamboo dustpan to dry and then packed in oil paper bags.

Lin Zisu took a mouthful of noodles, which tasted spicy. She then took another bite of the braised pork and fried peanuts, which were extremely delicious.

After lunch, the Lin family gave each of their fellow villagers from Nanlin Village a big mooncake as a token of their appreciation. While delivering a big mooncake to each family, they could take a break and chat for a while.

After delivering the mooncakes, everyone continued to work. Festivals are busy, busy preparing food.

The sun sets, leaving a red and yellow afterglow on the horizon.

There was a sound of carriages and horses at the gate of the courtyard, and Lin Zisu jumped out, "Teachers, happy Mid-Autumn Festival~ Hahaha... Come in quickly!"

Lin Xianwen: "The teachers are here, come in and sit down."

Lin Youcai: "Welcome, welcome, come in! Hey, just come if you want to, why bring anything with you? Treat this place like your own home! Lin Zisu, go and pour some tea!"

"Okay~" Lin Zisu walked directly to the RV parked in the side passage of the house. The front yard was empty and five tables were set up. The tables of the Shen family and the Shi family were also moved in and used.

The Lin, Shen, and Shi families celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival together, along with Lin Zisu and Lin Xianwen's teachers. The adults had one table each for men and women, the children had two tables, and the two siblings and teachers had one table.

Lin Xianwen parked the teachers' carriage in the backyard. He talked to Lin Youcai, Shen Xianglan, Su Ling, Tan Yuanyuan, Li Xin, and Wei Zhang, and took them to sit at the innermost table.

Not far away was Lin Zisu's RV. Lin Zisu got out of the RV with tea in her hand and said, "Teachers, have some tea~"

She poured tea for everyone and sat next to Tan Yuanyuan with a smile.

Tan Yuanyuan picked up the tea and took a sip. "My disciple was really well behaved today! He even poured tea for me!"

Su Ling and the others burst into laughter, and Lin Xianwen came over and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Su Ling: "My dear disciple, you haven't served me tea or water yet!"

Now it was Lin Zisu's turn to smile silently. Lin Xianwen was stunned for a moment, then immediately picked up the teapot and poured tea and water for the five people present.

Lin Xianwen: "Hehehe...teachers, drink slowly, if it's not enough, there's more!"

The kitchen was bustling with activity, and the children brought the prepared dishes to the table.

Lin Zisu first filled the teachers' tables and prepared the bowls and chopsticks, and Lin Xianwen brought a bucket of rice and placed it next to it.

An altar was set up for moon worship, food was served, and family members sat down and raised their glasses to celebrate.

There was no alcohol, but the cups were filled with pomegranate juice. They bought two baskets of pomegranates at the morning market. Lin Zisu and her group spent the whole afternoon peeling them. They squeezed the pomegranate seeds into juice, but because there wasn't enough for so many people, they added boiled water and sugar.

The table was filled with ten dishes: spicy pig's trotters, braised pork belly, pork ribs and kelp soup, boiled shrimps, steamed sea fish, fried small fish, stir-fried vegetables, stir-fried meat with green peppers, spicy diced chicken, and spicy and sour chicken offal.

The lights were on in the yard, and there was an occasional breeze, making the temperature cool. Both the guests and the hosts enjoyed dinner very much.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they sat in the yard drinking tea, chatting and admiring the moon.

A big round moon hangs in the night sky, and the moonlight makes the night no longer pitch dark. People without night blindness can see the road clearly without turning on a light.

Lin Zisu and Lin Xianwen prepared gift bags for the teachers, which contained homemade mooncakes of different sizes and a large can of chili meat sauce. One for each person, a little thought.

Lin Zisu waved her hand, "Be careful on the road! Come back when you have time!"

Lin Xianwen: "Teachers, come and play again!"

Su Ling waved: "See you later!"
