Steward Fu carefully examined the content on the pattern and nodded slightly, "This pattern is very delicately drawn. It looks like a mold for making snacks. Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival is not far away, Madam Xia is planning to make some mooncake molds."

"That's right." Xia Mingyue smiled, "In addition to eating them myself, I can also make some extra money by selling some mooncakes during the festival."

"That's right." Manager Fu nodded repeatedly.

When it comes to making money, no one can ever complain about having too much!
"In addition, I need a few ovens for baking mooncakes." Xia Mingyue took out another blueprint, "It needs to be made according to this. Manager Fu, please find some reliable and experienced masons to do it."

"No problem, leave it to me!" Manager Fu patted his chest.

By doing these things well, Xia Mingyue can ensure that she can make more delicious food, and they can also eat a lot of delicious food.

In other words, helping Xia Mingyue is equivalent to being able to eat delicious food!

This matter must be done!
Manager Fu had a plan in mind, so he turned around and arranged both things, and even instructed that they must be done quickly and well.

After instructing others about the mooncake moulds and the oven, Xia Mingyue felt hungry and did not ask Zhuang Mama and Yin Qiao to prepare meals. Instead, she went straight into the kitchen.

Mix chopped green onion, five-spice powder, white sesame seeds, salt, sugar and a little chili powder together, then drizzle with hot oil to enhance the flavor, and spread evenly on the dough rolled into a rectangular shape.

Then evenly spread a layer of meat filling made by chopping fat and lean pork into granular texture, adding salt, cornstarch, soy sauce, rice wine, and an egg and mixing evenly, and roll the whole pancake into a long strip along one side of the pancake.

Cut the long strips filled with meat filling into the size of steamed buns. Then pick up both ends of the cut pieces and twist them in opposite directions to form a twist shape. Put the water in a pot and steam it for the time it takes to make a meal.

When the scallion-flavored pork rolls are out of the pot, there is no need to prepare other side dishes. Just add some pickled radish cubes and a bowl of pumpkin porridge.

The meat filling in the flower rolls is large in quantity and rich in flavor. When you take a bite, you can feel the meat particles and your mouth is filled with the rich meaty aroma.

The aroma of chopped green onions, the slight spiciness of chili powder, and the soft and spicy texture all make the aroma and taste of the flower rolls even better. The more you eat, the more fragrant the scallion-flavored flower rolls feel, and the more you want to eat them.

Pickled radish is sour and delicious, and a pickled pepper from time to time is spicy and sour and very appetizing.

Pumpkin porridge is made by cooking peeled pumpkin with rice porridge. It is cooked until it is soft and sticky, and all the pumpkin is mixed together with the rice grains. When you take a sip, you can't see the pumpkin, but your mouth is full of the rich aroma of pumpkin.

Xia Mingyue found this kind of food very satisfying. She even ate three or four scallion meat rolls in one go before stopping.

The others also praised it, especially Master Yin Lingyou and his apprentice, who almost finished a basket of scallion-flavored meat rolls, eating until their mouths were full of oil and they burped repeatedly.

"Master, hiccup." Mao Sanli said, "In fact, in my opinion, hiccup, we don't have to eat like this. After all, we are always with Madam Xia, so there is no shortage of delicious food, hiccup."

"That makes sense." Yin Lingyou nodded. "Otherwise it seems that our eating is a bit too cheap. Then we should both be more restrained when we eat next time. At noon, we can only eat one bowl and try not to order more."

"Okay." Mao Sanli agreed very much and burped again.

After breakfast, the master and disciple were busy in the yard for a while, and then went out.

By noon, both of them came back on time, ready to have lunch.

"I just asked, we're having beans and noodles for lunch today, and it was cooked by Madam Xia herself. We agreed that you can only eat one bowl and you are not allowed to take back the bowl."

Yin Lingyou emphasized as he took out the bowl he had just bought on the street. It was a large bowl that could completely cover his head!
Mao Sanli, "..."

We had agreed on something, but I never expected that the master would secretly do something bad!
But fortunately, he was prepared.

"Listen to Master, one bowl is enough." Mao Sanli nodded and took out the "bowl" he had just bought from the street.

The size is more than twice that of Yin Lingyou's, and even larger than the rice bowl that Mao Sanli used before.

Seeing this, Yin Lingyou smiled and stroked his beard.

No one knows the master better than the apprentice, and the disciple is better than the master!

The master and his disciple entered the yard with their eating utensils, shocking Xia Mingyue and others so much that their eyes almost popped out.

I know that the master and the disciple have big appetites, but to this extent is really too exaggerated.

Even Wu Jin, who was standing by, subconsciously protected the clay pot he usually ate from.

Then he secretly made up his mind.

It seems that I need to eat faster from now on, otherwise there won’t be enough food!

The braised noodles with long beans for lunch are made with long beans and pork belly. The amount of soy sauce is just right, and the color is light reddish brown. It looks shiny and appetizing, but it does not taste greasy.

Served with some pickled garlic, it is delicious and satisfying.

Seeing Master Yin Lingyou and his apprentice wolfing down a "bowl" each, Xia Mingyue couldn't help but feel a little worried, "This is quite a lot, Doctor Yin, please be careful, don't eat too much and get an upset stomach."

"Not true!" Yin Lingyou waved his hand. "I recently prepared a new soup. Drink a bowl of it before meals. It helps digestion. No matter how much you eat, you can digest it completely in an hour."

Xia Mingyue, "..."

My goodness, isn’t it a bit unscrupulous to just do this for the sake of stuttering?
It seems that all his medical skills have been used in this regard.

"But medicine is three-part poison. It's probably not appropriate to drink it like this. What's more, medicine emphasizes nourishing the body. Digestion relying on medicine should still cause a burden on the body." Xia Mingyue said.

"It's okay." Yin Lingyou still disagreed, "That's something only people who are afraid of death would think about. I'm not afraid of death."

"What's more, if you have to restrain yourself in every way for the sake of longevity, not eating this, not doing that, and having no fun all day, then living that long is just for suffering? Then why not live happily for two years? Even if you die early, there will be no regrets, right?"

Xia Mingyue, "..."

That makes perfect sense!

But I always feel like I have heard these remarks somewhere before?
-
After two consecutive rains, the weather became colder day by day.

Shi Dahai has already made all the copper pots that Xia Mingyue and Manager Fu mentioned. (End of this chapter)
