Chapter 410: The Legend of the Mooncake

Malt sugar was originally a Chinese herbal medicine, rice, barley, wheat, millet, corn, and some grains. After fermentation, saccharification, it can relieve the middle, replenish the deficiency, promote fluid, moisturize dryness, and treat acute abdominal pain, cough, dry mouth, sore throat, constipation and other symptoms.

Moreover, malt sugar can be divided into soft and hard. It is made of Beijing-style self-laid red soft malt sugar. Although it is a Chinese medicine, malt sugar itself is made of grain fermentation, and mooncakes are not eaten every day. Therefore, as long as you do not eat too much at one time, eating self-laid red mooncakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival has a good dietary therapeutic effect on mild symptoms that are prone to cold and abdominal pain during the change of seasons from summer to autumn. ωωw..net

After a pause, Tang Ming smiled and said, in fact, there is a legend that Beijing-style mooncakes can be widely circulated.

Ah? What is the legend? Shu Yiting asked curiously.

Legend has it that in ancient times, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, a plague broke out in the capital. After Fairy Chang'e in Guanghan Palace found out, she ordered the Jade Rabbit who specialized in pounding medicine to come down to the earth to treat the suffering people. This medicine boy is the Rabbit Master.

After the Rabbit descended to earth, he used two medicines, red and white, to cure the people in the city and return to the Moon Palace. These two color medicines evolved into two kinds of moon cakes, including Zilaibai and Zilaihong. Since then, every Mid-Autumn Festival, people eat red and white moon cakes and worship the Moon God. One is to prevent the recurrence of the plague after eating, and the other is to thank the Moon God for his kindness.

So that's it. I said why do you have to hold mooncakes at home every year and put fruits on the balcony to serve them.

Shu Yiting suddenly realized and asked immediately, what happened to that rabbit master? And isn’t Chang’e’s jade rabbit spirit a woman?

Tang Ming's face was dark when he heard this.

Damn, how did I know what happened to Mr. Rabbit later?

And why can’t you be a woman if you take a master?

What are you asking? So many things to say, go bake your mooncakes!

Tang Ming put Su-style mooncakes into the oven with a dark face, but before putting them in, he sprinkled a layer of sesame seeds on the surface of the mooncakes.

Humph, if you don’t say it, I will not say it. I will go out and ask my uncle!

Shu Yiting was so angry that she stamped her feet. Wouldn’t she just ask a question? Why are you a fierce person?

But in the live broadcast room, netizens who saw this scene laughed.

The goddess is obviously angry and aggrieved, why do I just want to laugh?

The goddess is so stupid haha, the scum god clearly can't make it up before jumping

Fortunately, the Slag God doesn’t know everything, otherwise I really thought the Slag God was superman, and I could make so many kinds of mooncakes, but no one even knew the legends about these things.

I was so hungry when I watched the slag god make mooncakes, but I didn’t dare to eat them, because I was afraid that when the slag god was eating, I couldn’t help but eat them again. In the past half month after watching the slag god live broadcast, I gained five pounds!

I really envy the goddess' figure. I feel sad that even the scum god can make me fat even if I drink water.

The style of painting suddenly changed, and a group of netizens began to cry and complain about their miserable nature, jealous of Shu Yiting's physique.

And the representatives of various countries who watched this scene were also uncomfortable.

Originally, a group of representatives had no intention of having a meal before, but all of them were hungry when they saw Tang Ming making mooncakes.

But when I looked at the food my assistant brought over, I had no appetite at all.

There is nothing else, I just want to eat mooncakes to satisfy my cravings!

However, besides China, where can there be mooncakes sold?

Not only are representatives of various countries, but at this time, almost all netizens from all countries were thinking about China's mooncakes.

And it is a mooncake filled with octopus!

There is not much coconut sugar. It seems that I will really have to make some malt sugar in a few days

After helping Shu Yiting bake the third wave of mooncakes, Tang Ming took the last stored coconut candy to prepare sweet rice.

The mooncakes themselves are sweet, and no matter what flavor of soup rice they are served, they are not as good as the sweet taste.

However, Tang Ming did not intend to make traditional glutinous rice. In order to bring longevity and restore the halo, there is nothing else tonight, just octopus!

Of course, the octopus meat is tender and soft, and it has the soft feeling of glutinous rice and the chewyness of dried fruits in sweet rice. Therefore, even Tang Ming made it for the first time, you can tell that the sweet rice you made will never taste bad based on your feeling.

Tang Ming first divided the remaining diced octopus into half the volume of the large iron pot. Each portion was about ten pounds, and he divided it into twenty portions.

After that, add water to boil one of the portions in a large iron pot.

Soon, after the octopus was boiled in water until half-cooked, Tang Ming took out the pot and took out the diced octopus meat, and then chopped it until the size of a rice grain.

First, half-cooked diced octopus meat is easier to chop than raw octopus meat. Second, heat until half-cooked, and it is easier to fully blend the sugar when steaming sweet rice to make it softer.

While pouring in coconut sugar and a little honey and minced octopus meat and stirring, Tang Ming added a little butter.

In this way, the octopus meat will not be steamed one by one, and it will be sticky like traditional sweet rice.

After stirring gently again, Tang Ming put in a pot and started steaming.

Soon, the smell of octopus meat began to spread everywhere.

Unlike the fillings in mooncakes, the cooking method of steaming allows the water vapor to spread rapidly. In a short while, even Shu Yiting, who baked mooncakes, smelled the rich octopus meat fragrance.

When Shu Yiting was about to go and have a look, Tang Ming came over with the fourth wave of mooncakes.

What did you do so delicious?

Shu Yiting asked hurriedly.

Sweet rice.

Sweet rice? Liar! Can sweet rice have octopus flavor? Do you think I have never eaten sweet rice?

There is no way, our family is poor, there is little rice and more meat. In order to save some rice, I have to use meat to make sweet rice for rice.

Shu Yiting calculated after hearing this, and it seemed that this was the case. The meat she had reserved was much more than the rice she had reserved.

He nodded and said: OK, then eat meat and save some rice.

Tang Ming waited for a while and the third wave of Su-style mooncakes were already baked.

After the baking, the crispy skin on the surface of the mooncake was layer by layer, and the sesame seeds on it were even more fragrant, which made me feel very appetizing. Shu Yiting couldn't help but want to taste one.

Never eat it, otherwise you will definitely regret it.

Tang Ming stopped him and said that the current puff pastry looks very crispy. In fact, it is actually a lot of water vapor in the filling, and it tastes wet, just like puffed food is getting wet. You have to wait for a while for cooling and the water vapor on the skin to dissipate before you can eat it.

But I feel so hungry

Shu Yiting felt her stomach roaring.

After baking so many mooncakes, they can't eat them. Cantonese style needs to return oil, Beijing style needs to be cooled, Soviet style needs to dissipate water vapor

Okay, I'll be able to eat it after a while, and the sweet rice will be ready soon.

After Tang Ming put the last trendy mooncake into the oven, he smiled and said, "Vase, you can rest now." Although this flat trendy mooncake takes the longest time to bake because it needs to integrate the crust and filling, it only needs to be roasted slowly over low heat.
