First, he made three small bowls of tofu to feed one and two small bellies. Li Han patted some peanuts and walnut kernels, which were fragrant. He took a spoonful of the remaining sauce in the refrigerator, warmed it with water, and sprinkled a handful of coriander.
The pickled vegetables are all working together. Standing beside Li Han is a little guy, Dudu and Baobao, with their bulging bellies, leaning on their feet and looking eagerly. "Dad, are you okay?"
Li Han pinched Dudu's fleshy little face. "Okay, one person can't eat more than one small bowl, and there will be a lot of delicious food in a while." "Yeah." The two little guys ran back happily holding the small bowls.
In the living room, sitting on the sofa, watching TV and happily eating tofu porridge.
The two little guys were busy for a while and finally ate the fragrant tofu puffs. They swayed their calves and hummed cheerful notes in their mouths. They ate the delicious tofu puffs one spoon at a time and clicked their little mouths. Li Han was happy to see it, and Li
Han gulped down a small bowl of tofu, and his mother made it. Li Han was kicked out of the kitchen. "Little Han, leave this to me and your Aunt Xu, and you go buy some vegetables."
Seeing that he couldn't get involved, Li Han returned to the living room, thinking about the excitement of the festival in the evening. He took the phone and called Kaidi Weili and others to ask if they had time in the evening. These friends were not like Uncle Ronald and the elders needed to be invited in advance.
, not too particular, Kaidi, Weili, Bill, Cynthia and others are very interested in traditional Chinese festivals, especially Dolores, this little girl is very interested in Chinese culture, and soon ran away with Michelle
Coming.
As soon as Liz arrived, the living room became lively. Dudu, Baobao, and Michelle chased and played with each other. Liz even pestered Li Han to tell the story of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Li Han directly played Dudu and Baobao.
When he came back, he said to the two little guys. "Baby, Dudu, Sister Lisi wants to hear stories. You can tell her stories about Chang'e flying to the moon, Hou Yi shooting the sun, Wu Gang cutting down osmanthus, and the Jade Rabbit pounding medicine. Last time, my father told her
You told me."
Lisi bulged, pouted in displeasure, snorted, stretched out her hand and pinched Dudu and Bao Bao's fleshy little faces, causing the two little girls to bulge their mouths. "Dad, Sister Lisi is hurting Dudu."
.Don’t talk too much.”
"Han, what did pandora say?" Liz blinked in confusion. Liz was still a little unfamiliar with Chinese. She could only say a few simple words, "Yummy, hello." Dudu muttered in a low voice, "How do you know?"
What's the meaning.
"Liz, if you want to listen to a story, sit down and Dudu will talk first." Li Han rubbed Dudu's little head and told Dudu's father to go buy groceries and make some delicious food. "Well, Dudu is about to talk.
." As soon as Dudu started talking, Michelle sat down obediently and listened to Sister Pandora's story. Liz was a little reluctant, but after a while, Liz was attracted by Pandora's story and listened with all her attention. Did Li Han leave?
Notice.
Li Han drove a farmer's truck to the small town supermarket, shopped around and bought some needed ingredients and fruits. When he returned to the small farm, the baby was still telling stories. Li Han put the ingredients in the kitchen and started to work on making mooncake fillings, and his mother and
Aunt Xu had prepared it a few days ago. In Li Han's impression, the mooncakes were filled with green and red silk threads and rock sugar. Every bite of rock sugar was a surprise. It took my mother and Aunt Xu several days to make the green and red silk threads.
The green and red shreds are mostly made of radish, mustard, orange peel, winter melon, watermelon rind and other raw materials.
Qinghongsi is what Li Han saw his mother making when he was a child. First, clean the radish, mustard and other raw materials, cut them into thin strips, and soak them in salted lime water for two or three days to make the strips hard and not easy to rot.
, and at the same time, the original smell of the silk strips is removed. After drying, it is dyed with red and green colors to make a semi-finished product of blue and red silk. Finally, it is stirred with white sugar, and the green and red silk is made.
Li Han didn't like eating very much when he was a child. He always thought it tasted bad. At that time, his mother always said, "The green and red silk made by my grandma is delicious and the taste is good. It's a pity that my grandma died early and didn't learn how to prepare it." Now I can see that it is well prepared.
Li Han still felt a little nostalgic for the blue and red silk. Take a closer look, how beautiful it is.
Making mooncakes is not an easy task. Li Han only knows how to make mooncakes and is not very good at making them. However, Li Han is good at setting up the incense table. Li Han spent a lot of effort just looking for the incense. He found some in the supermarket.
I didn't see him in the end, I just bought some candles for my birthday and took it for granted.
"Dudu, baby, come here and help wash and arrange the fruits." Li Han moved the table on the terrace to the lawn of the small yard, set it up, and turned around and said to Dudu and Baobao. "Han, I'll help too." "Thank you,
Liz, wash the fruits first, then go to the kitchen and get some plates to put the fruits on."
"Yeah." The baby ran into the house, Dudu, Liz, and Michelle carried the fruits to the sink to wash, watermelons, melons, apples, oranges, pomegranates, and some seasonal fruits. Wash them well and put them in the basin.
inside.
Li Han took the plate brought by the baby, placed it, and then put the fruits on it. After a while, the mooncakes and snacks were ready, and then put them on the table. "Han, is this good?" "No, there are also mooncakes and reunions.
Pies and snacks.”
Li Han burned incense, lit wax, and told Liz, Dudu, Baobao, and Michelle about the custom of worshiping the moon god Chang'e. "It's so interesting, Han, what else is there." Lisi was even more eager than Dudu and Baobao.
Well, the two little guys were pouting at Lao Gao, and Michelle pulled Aunt Liz.
"Now let's make reunion cakes." Reunion cakes are easy to make. Li Han had already planned to make them together with a few little ones. After mixing the flour, Li Han brought it out. The little ones sat around Li Han.
Reunion cakes mostly have symbolic meanings, and the taste may not necessarily be delicious. Li Han rolls out the dough, Dudu and Baobao, Michelle pinches the bunny, and Liz follows Dudu and Baobao in a sullen voice as she learns to pinch the bunny, drawing
Master Rabbit. Li Han rolled out the dough, spread a layer of peanut oil on one layer of dough, and added a layer of bean paste and honey. Li Han made three layers for four pieces of dough.
Press the edges tightly and use scissors to cut off the excess dough. Liz forgot to pinch the bunny at this moment and watched with wide eyes as Li Han pinched out a nice lace on the reunion cake. "Han, you are really great, you can teach me."
Teach me?"
"No problem, it's very simple." Li Han pinched it, then pinched it again, and a lace came out, but when it came to Liz's hand, it was completely different. It was not able to look like it several times. "Hello, sister Liz.
Stupid."
Dudu said. Unexpectedly, the two little guys, Michelle and Bao Bao, also nodded. But Michelle was so angry that she grabbed a few little guys and wiped them on the faces of the three little guys. "Hahaha."
Liz saw the white flour on the faces, noses and foreheads of the three little guys, and she was so happy that she couldn't stand up straight.
Li Han's reunion cake was almost done, and the lace was kneaded. He took a Coke glass bottle and opened it to a few of Noisy Liz. "Dudu, baby. The little rabbit is ready to help daddy make granaries and grains.
"
Sure enough, the little guys are interested in this. Warehouse nests are the easiest to make. You can pinch them with your hands and have a few small dough balls, small corn cobs, and small pumpkins. They can be carved and painted with bamboo strips.
So, a few little guys, but they were very happy to do it. The small warehouse and grain were ready. Li Han used a glass bottle to gently press out circles of large cakes. They were very beautiful. Dudu saw them and rushed to say, "Dad,
"Dudu pressure." "Okay, don't use force, just do it gently."
Dudu nodded vigorously. He took the glass bottle and climbed up to the chair excitedly. He held the glass bottle and pressed it in big circles. "Giggle, Dudu made circles." "The baby wants it too." The baby ran into the kitchen.
, go find the bottle.
Li Han first prepared lumps of red date puree and bean paste, wrapped them in grain flour and dotted some green and red silk, like colored balls. It was very beautiful. "The balls are so beautiful." One by one, he placed the small colored balls in the middle of the circle.
.
Li Han casually kneaded the noodles out of the flour and made a small flower, dotted with red hearts and yellow radish shreds. It looked like a blooming chrysanthemum. "Dad only has flowers and grain, not piglets or lambs," Dudu said.
, the whole reunion cake is really big, but it is decorated with lace and flowers, made of flour, and there are no small animals. "Sister Dudu, we want to draw a rabbit, not a piglet or a lamb." The baby waved.
Little hands.
Li Han smiled and touched Dudu's little head. "Sister Baobao is right, pinch the rabbit and draw it beautifully. Dudu and Baobao will wear Hanfu in a while." "Yes." The two little guys nodded vigorously,
Drawing Lord Rabbit, Li Han often spoiled the dough when he was a child.
Li Han put the reunion cake in the oven and returned to the terrace. He took Liz, Dudu, Baobao, and Michelle to draw Lord Rabbit. At this moment, Willie, Kaidi, and Bill came and saw Li Han and the little guys.
Drawing rabbits for fun. "Han, what are you doing?"
"Uncle Willy, Dudu is drawing Lord Rabbit, isn't it beautiful?" Dudu raised his little head, smiled and held up his hand Lord Rabbit. Lord Rabbit was kneaded with dough and used various jams to draw colorful little rabbits. Li Han said this
There is no molded white rabbit on the side for a few little guys to draw, so they can only use dough, pinch the little rabbit, and trace it with jam. It's quite fun.
When Li Han talked about the custom of drawing rabbits, Wei Li, Kaidi and Bill were very interested, and Li Han couldn't laugh or cry. "Weili, Kaidi, Bill, when you come, help me build a bonfire. I will light a bonfire during the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"Bonfire party, Han, Bonfire, Kaidi, and Bill, we are in charge." Weili, Kaidi, and Bill found a place, set up a shelf, and carried firewood from the backyard. After setting it up, the three of them were all veterans. It didn't take long.
Soon, a bonfire was set up in the yard.
Li Han used firewood to make a few small torches and handed them to Dudu, Baobao, and Michelle. Although the custom of lighting torches is not from Anxi, it can be regarded as a Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival custom, and it is very fun. Liz has not heard the story of torches.
, quit and pestered Li Han to make a torch for her.
The torch is not difficult. Li Han made another one casually. Who wants to make one? Weili, Kaidi, and Bill learned how to make one. They talked about it for a while. The bonfire was ready. Li Han and Weili, Bill, Kaidi, and others prepared beer and beer.
For drinks, several long tables were brought up from the basement and covered with tablecloths.
It’s done here. The snacks in the kitchen are almost the same. My mother made oil incense, oil slices, moon cakes, reunion cakes, Aunt Xu’s donkey rolling, bean paste buns, and two big pot helmets. Dudu has never seen them before.
, curious, Li Han cut a piece and gave it to Dudu to try.
"Dad, it's not sweet." Dudu took a bite and raised his little head with confusion on his face. "This is for eating. You need to add vegetables. The edges are very crispy and fragrant." Li Han pinched it.
The crispy edges were brought to Dudu's mouth. "It smells delicious." "Okay, help bring it out and set it up."
Dudu, Baobao, and Michelle each carried the same thing. Liz, Cynthia, Bella, and Belle all helped, and it took a while to arrange it.
Li Han placed the food, moon cakes, fruits, dried fruits, and reunion cakes on the table, and lit candles. "Everyone, try the moon cakes." After Li Han finished his work, he did not forget to greet Kaidi, Bill, Willie, and Cynthia.
people.
Everyone ate various snacks and listened to Li Han talking about the legends and customs of the Mid-Autumn Festival. These foreigners were quite interested, especially Liz who was crowded around Li Han, and Dudu and Baobao couldn't get close.
The guy pouted at Lao Gao, and Sister Liz was the worst.
