Chapter 152 I hope everyone will stop hugging each other
Stuff the filling into the dough and wrap it up, then coat the surface with dry powder to prevent sticking, put it into the mold and press into shape.
Then you can put it in the microwave.
Lin Li has not put the "Healthy Body and Disease-Preventing Pill" in yet. He is worried that something unexpected will happen to the pill or it will change in quality once it is heated in the microwave.
Anyway, I made the mooncakes myself, so my mom wouldn’t find it strange if they didn’t look great. I can just cut them open after baking and stuff them in.
"Come on, brother, put it in the microwave." Lin Li said.
"it is good."
There was only one microwave in the activity room, so many other elderly ladies who were also waiting for their food to be baked gathered here to chat and queue.
"Brother, how many minutes do you think is appropriate to bake it?" There are many different guides on the Internet, and Lin Li decided to ask Zeng Ziang.
"I don't know much about microwave ovens either. The only thing I know is that you shouldn't trust information on the Internet easily, especially the idea that durian will have a chestnut aroma after being microwaved." Zeng Ziang waved his hands and stepped back.
"Two years ago, the family that was rumored to be boiling shit in the neighborhood was yours." Lin Li suddenly realized, "The big brother who was stopped outside and not allowed to enter that day was you?"
Zeng Ziang: "..."
Silence is the best answer.
Lin Li really didn't dare to ask Zeng Ziang, so he chose to ask Zhang Fang who was not far away.
"It depends on the thickness of your crust. I suggest you bake it for three minutes first. If you find it's not enough, continue baking. Because if you heat it in a microwave for too long, the food will lose moisture and become hard, and the taste will be terrible. So it's better to bake it less often than overtime."
Zhang Fang gave some very sensible advice.
Can anything become hard if it's microwaved for a long time?
Lin Li had a bold idea. Since he couldn't bear to give away his own, he might as well try Bai Bufan's next time.
So Lin Li followed Zhang Fang's instructions and put his and Zeng Ziang's mooncakes into the oven.
"This is Wu Min's child, right? It's Lin Li, right?" However, because he entered the group of elderly people, the scene of being besieged by the older generation that Zeng Ziang had described before immediately began to be repeated at this moment.
"It's me, grandma." Lin Li responded politely.
"I held you in my arms when you were a child. Do you remember me?" the other person said with a smile.
Lin Li: "..."
Why do adults always hug children randomly?
Do you know how much distress this caused to the children? !
Fortunately, Zhang Fang came to the rescue and introduced the other party. He also had the surname Wu and was several generations older than her mother, so they were indeed related.
"How's your study going?" Then there was a questioning session just like visiting relatives.
"is acceptable."
"Are you in love?"
"Grandma, I'm only in the first year of high school. I'm not successful yet and I'm still single. You might as well ask Brother Ziang about this problem. He must be more anxious than me." Lin Li pointed at Zeng Ziang who had been hiding in the corner.
Zeng Ziang: “?”
Is it an undisguised diversion of contradictions?
I thought I was already good friends with Lin Li, but it turns out that we are not good friends at all!
"Zi'ang, come to think of it, I also held you in my arms when I was a child."
Zeng Ziang: "...Hello, Grandma Wu."
Grandma Wu smiled and nodded: "You are about to graduate from college, right? Have you found a job yet?"
"is acceptable."
"Are you in love?"
"I'm still single at the moment." Zeng Ziang nodded with a smile.
"Being unwanted and being single are two different states, don't confuse them." An aunt said with a sneer.
Zeng Ziang: "..."
"Mom, your words are a bit hurtful."
……
"Mom, your words are a bit hurtful."
“I repeat, this is a mooncake that I spent a whole morning making for you.
You shouldn't have used 'this lump' to describe it, it really makes me sad." Lin Li said very hurt after he showed his mooncake to Wu Min and was attacked after returning home.
Wu Min couldn't help but smile. She pointed at the "lump" in front of her and the pile of debris around it and said:
"But it's really hard for me to believe that this lump is actually a mooncake."
"The shape is still there. I've eaten one before and the taste is fine." Lin Li argued.
Although the mooncakes are a bit blown up due to lack of skills (physics), they are not that terrible and the basic mooncakes can still be seen.
"Okay, okay, can't I eat it?" Wu Min was still smiling as she breathed. Just as she stretched out her hand, she saw Lin Li carefully selected a mooncake and placed it in her hand.
"It's specially made for you. The taste is absolutely unique and it's a flavor you've never tasted before, Sister Min." Lin Li said.
"Okay, Mom is looking forward to it."
No matter what, Wu Min was still very touched because the mooncakes were made by her own son for her.
If it weren't for the previous experience of delivering takeout the day before, Wu Min would have already written a short essay on WeChat Moments and shared it with his brothers and sisters.
The crust is quite crispy when you take a bite. The filling tastes sweet, like jujube paste, then dry, then bitter, and then... hm?
Wu Min frowned. If this wasn't made by her son, she would have probably spit it out. After swallowing it with some difficulty, Wu Min looked at the mooncake in her hand and wondered, "What kind of filling is this? Why is it so black?"
"Chinese medicine." Lin Li was relatively honest.
"So it's made with Chinese herbal medicine filling, no wonder it's so bitter. Now I can understand... No! I can't understand it! Why are there mooncakes with Chinese herbal medicine filling?!" Wu Min, who had already nodded and tried to force himself to understand, suddenly looked up and questioned.
"Just tell me if it's a completely new version that you've never eaten before?" Lin Li said honestly.
Wu Min: “…”
"Can this be eaten?"
That’s great. I didn’t write a short essay on WeChat Moments or share it with my brothers and sisters.
Lose face once less.
Seeing Wu Min intending to put the remaining mooncakes back, Lin Li quickly explained: "Mom, don't worry, it's absolutely edible, it's harmless to the human body, and it's very good for health. How can I harm you?"
Wu Min looked at Lin Li suspiciously and said, "I believe in my son."
"Just believe it."
"No, I believe you can do such a heinous thing." Wu Min added.
Lin Li: "..."
Damn, that really hurts.
“Mom, I’m really going to be angry if you say that. I can’t possibly do that. I still have to count on you to support me. You’re the spiritual and physical pillar that keeps me alive. If I really do that, I’ll have to at least wait until you’re old… hehehe.” Lin Li began to chuckle.
Wu Min: “…”
The whole house was full of filial piety.
All the beatings Lin Li received since he was a child were not in vain. It was normal for him to pay a price for being a masochist.
"Is it really edible?" But Wu Min knew that Lin Li was joking, and he held up the 'traditional new mooncake' again, still a little skeptical.
"You can really eat, Mom, and it's really good for your health. I'll eat it now to show you." Lin Li picked up one of the mooncakes and took a big bite.
Wu Min sighed, and finally endured the bitterness and ate all the Chinese medicine mooncakes.
Lin Li was very satisfied.
In this way, my mother's body should remain healthy for quite a long time.
Wu Min was sharp-eyed. She suddenly reached out and picked up the mooncake that Lin Li had just taken a big bite of. She squinted her eyes and asked, "Lin Li, this doesn't look like a Chinese medicine mooncake."
"I only made the Chinese medicine mooncake for you, mom. I didn't say which one I ate just now." Lin Li waved his hand nonchalantly, "I ate the lotus seed paste and egg yolk one, which tasted okay. Do you want to try it? These ones are all the same."
Wu Min: “…”
"Lin Li, you've become so powerful that I can't control you anymore!" Wu Min took a deep breath.
Lin Li bent his arms, patted his biceps which were much more obvious than before, and said proudly: "That's right, look at your son's wings, they are so hard now."
Wu Min: “…”
……
The feather duster was interrupted.
It wasn't that he hit too hard, but that he hit it for too long, causing it to break after just a few hits on Lin Li's raised butt.
At the moment of the break, Lin Li and Wu Min were stunned for a moment, and then they both laughed.
"You really won't be a child anymore. You'll be eighteen so soon." Wu Min looked at the broken feather duster and said gently, with memories in her eyes.
"According to the laws of our country, the mother-child relationship lasts for life and is not dissolved after the age of 18. In other words, I have always been your child. What's the matter, Mom? Are you going to abandon me?
This is illegal. If I tell my grandma that you have this idea, you're done! Haha, I can't control you, but my grandma can't control you either?" Lin Li said with a sneer.
Wu Min raised his hand as if to slap Lin Li.
Of course Lin Li didn't hide.
So the hand that was aiming at the face fell on Lin Li's head. She stretched out her hand and rubbed his not-so-short hair, with a smile on Wu Min's face.
Lin Li picked up the old acquaintance on his butt, and after finding that it was indeed difficult to repair, he looked up and said, "Mom, I'll buy you a bigger feather duster this afternoon that's more suitable for hitting my current one."
"Buy Mom a whip with barbs."
"No, I'm not strong enough yet. I'll have to wait until I'm stronger before considering it."
"I won't whip your wings, I'll just whip your butt."
"My butt isn't even as hard as my wings, let alone my wings. You can only wait until I master the Iron Butt Skill."
"There is such a technique?"
"Of course, Mom, you don't understand this..."
"..."
"..."
The meaningless conversation continued between mother and son.
