Chapter 54 Mooncakes

Luo Yelin hesitated for a moment, walked to the opposite side of An Wan, pulled open the chair and went up.

At the same time, he explained the relevant matters: "I just went to find Liu Mingxi."

"Liu Mingxi?" An Wan was stunned for a moment, and she didn't think clearly about why Luo Yelin had to go there.

Luo Yelin saw the doubts on An Wan's face clearly, so he explained to her: "Liu Mingxi was looking for someone to make trouble in your hotel. I went to Lanfang Pavilion to find her name. Today I made an appointment with her to meet again and chatted for a while."

"But what happened?" An Wan asked curiously.

Luo Yelin shook his head with a melancholy expression and sighed: "When I spoke, she felt very guilty... It seems that she should have done these things."

After saying these words, he changed his tone: "But when I questioned her in the end, she refused to admit it, saying that we cannot prove that Xunfang Pavilion's list is true."

After hearing this statement, An Wan opened her mouth wide in surprise for a moment.

"Is this possible?" An Wan asked back.

"I also think that her behavior is shameless, but it is indeed very useful..." Luo Yelin said, sighing: "Forget it, let go of this matter first, and when you have the chance in the future, you can naturally deal with her well."

"Okay." An Wan nodded.

The two of them looked at each other for a while and Luo Yelin suddenly said, "Miss An, what do you think Liu Mingxi should look like?"

"Ah?" An Wan was stunned for a moment.

"What kind of person do you think Liu Mingxi should be?" Luo Yelin patiently repeated the question.

This time, An Wan heard what he said clearly, so she hesitated for a while, recalling the corners of her heart, and finally pieced together Liu Mingxi in her mind: "I think she should be a woman with a very thick-skinned and scheming."

Luo Yelin nodded and shook his head again: "What you said is right, it is not right."

Facing An Wan's puzzled look, Luo Yelin paused and continued: "Liu Mingxi and I once knew each other. She was an ordinary girl with a lively personality and always liked to show her excellence in front of adults... She is a very face-saving little girl."

He slowly recalled Liu Mingxi's past, and his tone was complicated: "It was just that I was taken back to the palace when I was eight years old, so I didn't know much about the changes in Liu Mingxi later."

"When I come back, she has become what she is now."

An Wan didn't know that the two of them had such a past, so she looked calm and listened carefully to him.

"I guess she has forgotten what happened when she was a child." Luo Yelin sighed, then thought of something, and sneered: "So what if she remembers it, she is already in trouble now."

Listening to Luo Yelin's description, An Wan suddenly felt that Liu Mingxi was a little pitiful.

Although she frowned in a little unbearable manner, she still said nothing and just looked at Luo Yelin quietly.

After a few complaints, Luo Yelin suddenly thought of something and smiled at An Wan with some embarrassment: "Are Miss An scared? I'm so embarrassed."

An Wan shook her head.

"I've finished everything I want to say. Is there anything else about Miss An recently?" Luo Yelin was about to leave, but when he stood up, he suddenly thought of something and turned his body back: "About half a month, I will hold a banquet, and now I can start preparing."

Speaking of holding a banquet, An Wan, who was originally a little listless, suddenly became energetic.

She opened her eyes wide and looked at Luo Yelin: "Have you confirmed the time?"

"Yes," Luo Yelin reached out and tried to push open the door, but turned around and added a few words: "I see that you are almost ready... Do you still need someone to ask for help?"

An Wan took on similar tasks with her apprentices in her previous life, so after thinking for a while, she replied: "No, we can do it well."

Luo Yelin admires An Wan's ability.

Therefore, he did not ask any more questions. After seeing An Wan answer with confidence, he only paused: "I believe in Miss An."

After talking about this, there was nothing else to talk about between the two of them.

Luo Yelin pushed open the door, first asked An Wan to walk out, and then went downstairs.

Luo Yelin will hold the Mid-Autumn Festival ceremony in half a month.

Because he is not close to the imperial city now and the sky is high and the emperor is far away, Luo Yelin does not have to go to meet the emperor's brother, nor does he have to abide by the fixed rules. When doing things, Luo Yelin is more casual.

Just like this time, the grand ceremony originally prepared for the Mid-Autumn Festival was moved forward for a day and placed in the evening before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

As for the excuse he made, it was very humane - he finished the banquet one day earlier and would be able to go home to spend the holiday with his family.

In just half a month, in addition to asking Nie Ying to prepare daily dishes and noodle people for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and let craftsmen make equipment to eat hot pot safely, An Wan was still thinking about making a few Mid-Autumn Festival special dishes.

She scraped her stomach and finally found an ice-skin mooncake from her memory.

The ice-skin mooncake is not difficult to make, and it tastes very good, and it is still very suitable for appearing at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

An Wan thought, and took a list and wrote down the raw materials she had recalled on the paper.

At noon, she went out to buy these things and came back.

She took a large basin and mixed the glutinous rice flour, sticky rice flour and clear flour together, put milk and vegetable oil, and stirred evenly.

After they were mixed together very evenly, An Wan uncovered the steamer that was still on the fire, put the mixture into it, and steamed it over high heat for half an hour.

After taking them out, the edges and inside of the basin were very hot. An Wan blew them for a while and soaked them in cold water for a long time before letting them cool down.

After confirming that the dough in the basin is no longer hot, An Wan picks them out and kneads them on the panel to form a smooth dough.

Then, she divided the bean paste stuffing she bought into small portions, wrapped it in kneaded dough, and set it down.

...this way you can eat it.

After An Wan saw the strange mooncake shape, she thought she should make a mold for mooncakes.

However, there are many places where the moulds for making mooncakes are sold, but An Wan needs them, but she doesn't feel anxious.

She went to greet Nie Ying and asked him to taste the taste of the mooncakes, but she didn't expect that Nie Ying had become a fool of himself recently. The first moment she saw these ice-skin mooncakes, she immediately grabbed one and pinched out a pair of small ears.

After making his mouth out, Nie Ying remembered An Wan asking him to come over, not asking him to pinch the little face.

So he looked up at An Wan in a daze.

Although An Wan's eyes were a little surprised, she had no other emotions.
