A tragic journey through ancient times, trying to make money

Chapter 127 5-Nut Mooncake

The oven was almost dry in the afternoon. In order to verify whether the oven was easy to use, Zhang Yunyue cut some steamed buns into slices and put them in the oven to try it out. The steamed bun slices were not burnt, but the surface of the steamed buns was just browned.

Zhang Yunyue decided to go to the town with Zhang Xingyun tomorrow to buy the ingredients needed for the mooncake fillings, and take advantage of this opportunity to make the mooncakes at home.

Zhang Yunxue heard the conversation between Zhang Yunyue and Zhang Xingyun and raised her hand quickly:

"Sister, I want to go to town with you tomorrow, and I want to ride in a carriage, too."

After saying that, Zhang Yunxue looked at everyone with a pitiful look, as if she would burst into tears immediately if Zhang Yunyue refused.

Seeing this, Zhang Yunyue thought that Zhang Yunxue would not have to walk tomorrow as they would be riding in a carriage the whole time, so she did not want to refuse her.

"Second Aunt, since there is a carriage, Xiaoxue wants to go to town, so I will take her to town tomorrow, okay?"

Zhu smiled and said, "Okay, as long as Yueyue and Xiaoyun don't mind the trouble, I'm very confident that she will go with you."

"Thank you, mother and sister. I can finally take a carriage to town."

"Hahahahaha"

"By the way, Grandpa, make two mooncake molds tomorrow."

"Okay, I get it. This is easy. I'll make it for you tomorrow morning."

The next day.

After breakfast, Zhang Xingyun harnessed the carriage to the horse outside the yard.

"Yueyue, Xiaoxue, have you packed up? We can go now."

"Here we go, big brother." Zhang Yunxue shouted to Zhang Yunyue who was still in the room, "Sister and I will be here soon, sister, hurry up, big brother is calling us."

Zhang Yunyue came out of the house when she heard the shouting, holding Zhang Yunxue's hand and saying, "Let's go, Xiaoxue."

The two walked out the door and got on the carriage.

"Yueyue, Xiaoxue, are you seated? Let's go."

"Brother, my sister and I are already seated, let's go."

Zhang Xingyun listened to Zhang Yunxue's anxious words, said nothing, and drove the carriage to the town.

As soon as Zhang Xingfeng drove his carriage onto the official road, he whipped the horse at full speed.

Zhang Yunxue sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain beside the carriage, and looked at the fast-moving scenery outside.

"Sister, this carriage is so much fun to ride in, and it goes so fast."

Zhang Yunyue looked at Zhang Yunxue's excited expression and said, "Xiaoxue, sit tight, or you might fall down."

"Yes, sister, I understand."

Along the way, Zhang Yunxue was chattering with Zhang Yunyue.

Arrived in town.

Zhang Xingyun first drove the carriage to a dried fruit shop, where he bought some melon seeds, walnuts, white sesame seeds, almonds, etc., which were available in the peanut workshop. These were just enough to make five-nut mooncakes.

Then I went to buy some peanut oil, flour, brown sugar, and wax paper.

After buying these things, Zhang Xingyun drove the carriage back to the village.

When she got home, Zhang Yunyue moved the things she bought to the yard, and Grandpa Zhang had already made the molds for making mooncakes.

Zhang Yunyue rested in the yard for a while, then took all the dried fruits she had bought to the kitchen and fried them.

He also asked Zhang Yunxue to go to the workshop, bring back some peeled peanuts, and then fry them together.

After lunch.

Zhang Yunyue took Zhu and Grandma Zhang to make mooncakes together, and Zhang Xingyun was responsible for watching the temperature of the oven.

Because there are so many people sending mooncakes to, in addition to the employees of the workshop and food store, there are also Zhang's mother and Zhu's parents' family, great grandfather and second grandfather's family, and the village chief's family. Zhang Yunyue also plans to bring some to the county town for everyone to taste, mainly because there probably won't be time to make mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

So throughout the afternoon, several people at home were busy kneading dough, making dough, and baking mooncakes.

When the first batch of mooncakes came out of the oven, the aroma of the mooncakes made everyone salivate.

Everyone took a mooncake and tasted it. It was baked just right and tasted similar to the ones sold in town.

So everyone is more motivated to continue making mooncakes.

By the time of You, Mr. Zhang's family had made about 600 mooncakes. After giving away the ones they gave away, there were still some left at home.

At the hour of You, Grandpa Zhang came back from work.

Smelling the rich aroma of mooncakes in the yard, Grandpa Zhang took one and tasted it.

"Yes, the mooncakes with five-nut fillings are delicious."

When Zhang Yunyue was in modern times, she liked all kinds of fruit-flavored mooncakes before going to college. However, in college, she was fed with five-nut mooncakes made by her roommate's mother for four years and fell in love with them.

As for other flavors, such as ham and barbecued pork, I don’t like them at all and I can’t get used to them.

Now that she is eating the five-nut mooncake again, Zhang Yunyue feels satisfied.

evening.

Everyone in Lao Zhang's family was sitting in the yard preparing to make mooncakes.

When Zhang Yunyue went to town in the morning, she bought some oil paper and was now cutting it into the size needed to wrap six mooncakes.

Zhang Yunyue cut the oil paper and everyone started to wrap the mooncakes.

By the time all the mooncakes were wrapped, it was almost midnight.

Zhang Yunyue counted and found that he had made ninety-eight packages. The workshop and the food store needed sixty or seventy packages, so although it looked like a lot, in fact, the quantity was just right.

"Grandpa, grandma, second aunt, I've been back for three days. I plan to go back to the county town with my eldest brother tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, the tenth day, the store's waiters will have to be trained for two days, and the store still needs to be cleaned up."

Grandpa Zhang nodded, knowing that the county was busy right now: "Okay, go to the workshop tomorrow and move the chili oil and crispy whistle to the carriage. When you are on the road, walk slowly, don't rush, and drive the carriage steadily."

Zhang Xingyun: "I understand, Grandpa."

The next day, we had breakfast.

Zhang Xingyun drove the carriage and followed Grandpa Zhang and Zhang Yunyue to the workshop.

It was almost time to go to work, so the employees of the workshop were all walking along this road towards the workshop.

Aunt Mu: "Yueyue, I haven't seen you for a long time, where have you been?"

"Aunt Mu, I have been busy in the county recently, so I didn't come to the workshop."

"I see. Then why is Xiaoyun pulling the carriage to the workshop?"

"Aunt Mu, we are going to sell the chili oil and crispy whistles in the county town."

"Oh, now we're going to take the chili oil from our workshop to the county town to sell. That's great, this way our workshop can make more money, hahahaha."

"Yes, the workshop is profitable this year, and we will give everyone red envelopes at the end of the year."

"Okay, Yueyue, then we'll make more in the workshop, and you guys should hurry up and sell more."

"Okay, Aunt Mu, don't worry, we will try our best to sell more."

While Zhang Yunyue and Aunt Mu were still chatting, everyone walked to the door of the workshop. After Grandpa Zhang opened the door, the workers at the door went to the rooms where they worked.

"Yueyue, I'm going to work first. Come to my house to play with Xiaohua and Xiaohe next time you come back."

Aunt Mu suddenly thought of something, turned back, took Zhang Yunyue's hand and continued:
