    ?

    Just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xiao Mingyue sent a letter back from the capital, and there was nothing special about it, saying that both she and Chu Xiao missed Chu Rong and his family, and also shared what she had seen and heard in the capital.  Seeing that she was not used to anything in the capital, Chu Rong felt at ease.

    She received the letter, stuffed it in a drawer, and was going to chat with Liu Guilan.

    Jin'er ran in briskly, holding a bunch of candied haws, "Mom, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, I want to eat mooncakes."

    "Okay, Mom will buy it for you."

    "But I don't want to eat what I bought." Jin'er pouted, not even eating the candied haws.

    "Then what do you want to eat?" Chu Rong knelt down and asked patiently.  She didn't know what idea this little Jin'er came up with.

    "I want to make moon cakes by myself, and I want to eat stuffed candied haws!"

    Chu Rong was just listening casually, but when Xiao Jin'er said this, she came up with an idea, it's rare that it's the Mid-Autumn Festival.  Although her own family has always been reunited, most of the workers in Xiaowuzhuang are people who have left their hometowns, so why not make some moon cakes and send them over during the festival.

    Chu Rong is a person who can do whatever she says, and as soon as she came up with an idea, she went to discuss it with Liu Guilan.  Of course she couldn't make so many mooncakes by herself, and Xiao Wuzhuang had hundreds of people at least, how could she handle it alone.

    "Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I haven't prepared anything for this. The time is really tight."

    "Isn't this a godmother?" Chu Rong took Liu Guilan's arm and said half-jokingly.

    "Then just the two of us are not enough."

    "There are also Chunmei Chunhe and Wenniang, and my husband."

    "Everyone is here to make moon cakes, Jin'er Juner and the others want someone to watch over them."

    "By the way, they can also help together."

    Liu Guilan smiled and said, "You girl is still pointing at Xiao Jin'er for help? It's good that she doesn't help."

    That's right, the manpower is still not enough. There are so many children in her family, and they can't all leave the children behind to make moon cakes.

    "I might as well take an extra day off at the top of the mountain and at Zhuangzi, and let those women come to help me."

    Liu Guilan felt that this method was feasible, so the two went to the county to purchase the required materials.

    There was too much flour needed, and the two of them took a carriage to bring the things back.  The shopkeeper was also a straightforward person, seeing that they bought a lot, he gave them a wholesale price.

    The next day, Chu Rong called all the women from the top of the mountain, and it was very lively.

    "Boss, why do you want to make mooncakes yourself?"

    "Isn't it Xiao Jin'er, a glutton, clamoring to make mooncakes by herself, can I not obey my little ancestor." Chu Rong half joked.

    Xiao Jin'er seemed very dissatisfied with her mother exposing her old background like this, so she protested, "I didn't, I can take back that sentence."

    Everyone laughed, teasing Xiao Jin'er, "The water that is thrown out can't be taken back."

    Xiao Jin'er snorted arrogantly, said "I won't play with you anymore", and strode away.

    Seeing Xiao Jin'er's funny look, Chu Rong couldn't help laughing.

    "I'm not in charge of Xiaowuzhuang, and this hilltop too. Everyone has worked so hard, so it's right to share some mooncakes."

    "People don't need to do anything to get the mooncakes, but we have to do it ourselves. My boss, you are too unfair." The women complained, but there were smiles on their faces.

    Chu Rong asked them to come here because of their close relationship. They naturally understand this truth. A good relationship with the boss is something that no one else can ask for.

    "Yes yes yes, I am willing to squeeze you." Chu Rong also joked along with their words.

    However, this moon cake for hundreds of people is really difficult to make, and the dough is a big problem.  In this era, there is no special kneading machine, and it is all done by hand.

    Everyone can only contribute all the big and small pots in the house, and each of them will share a little.

    The dough was reconciled after almost two hours of busy work.

    The skin on this side is reconciled, and the filling on the other side is almost the same.  There are three kinds of fillings, purple potato filling, red bean paste filling and walnut filling made by Xiao Jiner.

    Chu Rong originally planned to enrich the stuffing, but she was really tired, so she stopped messing around.

    It took a long time for the filling and mooncake skin to be in place.

    The final mooncake making process is not a technical job anyway, so Chu Rong simply greeted all the children in the family.

     "Xiao Jin'er, Da Niu, you sit on Aunt Chen's side, Jun'er and Xiao Shan sit on the other side, if you can't make a good wrap today, you are not allowed to eat." It is rare for Chu Rong to put on the attitude of the boss at home.

    A few children were also happy to accept the order, and took this as an interesting challenge, "Mom, we promise to pack it well!"

    Seeing the confidence of the children, Chu Rong couldn't help being amused.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
