Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In the Chu Village.

Shen Ruyue knocked on the door. “Qingzhi, the ingredients for the mooncakes have been prepared according to your instructions.”

Chu Qingzhi put down the pen in her hand and walked to open the door. “Let’s go make mooncakes.”

The mooncakes were made in the courtyard of the old house. There was a shed there, and under the shed were five tables. After a while, everyone gathered around the tables to make mooncakes.

At this moment, the villagers who were helping to make the mooncakes were already in position. They were all women.

Chu Qingzhi walked over and smiled. “Thank you for coming to help.”

An auntie smiled and said, “Qingzhi, we should be the ones thanking you for letting us work.”

Chu Qingzhi chatted with everyone for a while before getting to the business…

She originally planned to make five different fillings, but two of the fillings were given to Tan Mengyang. Now, she only needed to make the other three. They were bean paste egg yolk filling, red bean filling, and lotus seed paste filling.

There were six people who prepared the fillings. Under Chu Qingzhi’s guidance, they quickly prepared three large basins of fillings.

In the filling, Chu Qingzhi did not add much sugar. She did not want to make the mooncake too sweet. If it was too sweet, it would cover up the taste of the other ingredients and it wouldn’t taste good.

There were ten people preparing the dough.

This step was very important. Otherwise, the mooncakes would crack and collapse after coming out of the baking stove, affecting the appearance. Making mooncakes sounded easy, but in reality, it was much more difficult. Otherwise, wouldn’t everyone be able to make mooncakes and sell them?

After the dough was made, it was time to wrap the filling.

Before wrapping the filling, they had to ensure that the weight of each piece of dough was the same. There were ten people in charge of weighing the filling and the dough. After that, they could begin making it.

The next step was to put the wrapped dough into the mold and press it to create patterns. It was very important to smooth out the surface of the dough because no one wanted to buy something that looked ugly.

The wrapped dough was placed on a baking sheet. After applying a layer of clear water on the surface of the dough, it could be sent to the baking oven to be baked.

There was an hourglass timer here. After the mooncakes were baked for fifteen minutes, they would take them out and brush egg liquid on them. Then, they would put them back in to bake for another fifteen minutes.

The baked mooncakes were taken out and cooled. They were wrapped in oil paper one by one. At this point, it was considered a complete process.

When Wu Yaqing, who was helping to wrap the mooncakes, saw Chu Qingzhi coming over with an unknown dough, she couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Qingzhi, what’s in your hand?”

Chu Qingzhi blinked at her mysteriously. “You’ll know in a while.” She walked towards the empty baking oven and pushed the baking tray in.

The baking oven that Chu Qingzhi had modified was very similar to a modern oven. There was a fireplace at the bottom and a baking space at the top.

Wu Yaqing was even more curious. “I know even if you don’t tell me. It must be delicious.”

“You guessed right,” Chu Qingzhi said cooperatively. At the same time, she turned the hourglass upside down to count the time. “Yaqing, when the sand runs out, take the baking tray out. I’ll go do something else.”

Wu Yaqing licked her lips like a hungry cat. “Don’t worry. Leave it to me.”

Then, she guarded the oven like she was protecting a treasure and looked at the hourglass attentively.

Chu Qingzhi returned to the kitchen to make biscuits.

She planned to make onion biscuits. This was the most classic.

Making onion biscuits was very similar to making cookies. First, she melted the butter, added sugar and salt, and stirred it evenly. Then, she added onion, flour, and stirred it. She kneaded it into a smooth dough and used a mold to make it look like a biscuit. Finally, she baked it for ten minutes.

During this time, the bread was ready. Wu Yaqing took it out. Immediately, the fragrance and appearance of the bread attracted everyone’s attention.

“It smells so good. It smells delicious.”

“Qingzhi is too amazing. She made another new thing. Does this have a name?”

“I really want to try it!”

Wu Yaqing held the baking tray and ran all the way to the new house. Her stomach was already growling at the smell of it.

When some children saw this, they quickly followed to see what it was. Of course, what they wanted to do the most was to try it.

“Qingzhi, it’s done,” Wu Yaqing shouted excitedly.

Chu Qingzhi was busy in the kitchen. “I’m here.”

Wu Yaqing rushed to the kitchen. “Qingzhi, what’s this called? It looks delicious.”

“This is called bread.” Chu Qingzhi used a kitchen knife to cut the bread into even cubes. Then, she picked up a piece and handed it to Wu Yaqing. “Try it.”

The bread smelled like rich roasted wheat. It looked golden on the outside and fluffy on the inside. When she took a bite, it was soft and tasty..
