Making mooncakes is not that simple. You must first have an oven, but now in the primitive world, let alone an oven, you don’t even have baking sheet gloves.
However, this does not trouble public opinion.
In his previous life, he had seen how to make an earthen oven on the Internet. Later, when he thought about it, it was just a matter of replacing the original electric oven with a firewood one.
Put it in an iron box and bake it, it's very simple.
But the iron box needed to be customized. Gongliang thought about it and found Aruna.
"Aruna, take me to your Aye. I want to ask him for a favor."
"What's the matter?" Aruna asked angrily.
She didn't want to go find her when nothing happened. Aye, that old man would only ask her to blacksmith all day long. A brave and strong girl like her was born to hunt. Using it to blacksmith would simply bury the talent, and she didn't know what to do.
What did the old man think?
"I want to ask him to help me make some iron sheets to make an iron box." Gong Liang showed her the size of the iron box and said.
After hearing this, Aruna said arrogantly: "You don't have to look for him to hit the iron sheet, I can do it."
"You" Gongliang looked at her with a look of disbelief.
Seeing his look, Aruna said dissatisfied: "What's your expression? I grew up working with Aye and I don't know anything. Come on, I'll show you."
After saying that, she led Gong Liang to the place where the tribe was cast.
Her Aye was not there, so she occupied her Aye's place, skillfully played the wind drum, lit a charcoal fire, then picked up a thick iron block from the side and threw it into the charcoal fire. After a while, the iron block was burned by the charcoal fire.
It was red. Aruna picked it up with an iron clip, picked up a thick hammer and started to hammer it hard.
Before long, there were more than a dozen iron sheets piled on the ground.
Gongliang quickly shouted: "Aruna, we have enough iron sheets, just make them into boxes."
"Oh." After Aruna heard this, she stopped forging the iron block, extinguished the charcoal fire, and stood aside.
Gong Liang looked strange and said: "What are you doing over there? Hurry up and make the iron sheet into a box!"
Without thinking, Aruna stared wide-eyed and said, "Aye taught me how to forge iron, but he never taught me how to make boxes."
Seeing the guilty look on her face, Gongliang was speechless. Why did he believe her in the first place and thought she could make boxes? He couldn't help but ask: "What should I do now?"
"How do I know!" Aruna said harshly.
Gongliang smacked his lips, he really had nothing to say. He looked around and saw that there was no one else in the foundry place, and Aye was not here. It seemed that she wanted to do it herself, and she had enough food and clothing. Fortunately, she had already beaten out the iron sheet.
, the rest is much simpler.
First, he cut all the irregular edges of the iron sheets into straight lines with a big dog's leg.
The big dog legs are made of ten-thousand-forged steel. Dealing with this kind of miscellaneous iron is as easy as peeling mud.
Then, he used a concave and convex method to pierce a few small holes on the side of a piece of iron sheet, and cut out several rectangular corners that could be inserted into the holes from another piece of iron sheet.
That’s it.
Using this method, Gongliang quickly made a rough-looking iron box.
But it’s okay. After he returns, he will put a layer of soil around the iron box to prevent the heat from dissipating, and a layer of stones will be built on the outside. This iron box is only the innermost layer. In addition, he also made several
He put away the iron plate containing the things and left the forging place with Aruna.
Aruna didn't expect that he would make these things, and she was very curious. On the way, she finally couldn't help but ask: "Gongliang, why are you making that box?"
"Bake mooncakes." Gongliang replied.
"Baked mooncakes, what kind of mooncakes?"
"It's a moon-shaped cake."
Aruna still knows about cakes. Her mother-in-law sometimes makes her some meat cakes to eat. When Gongliang said this, she quickly asked: "Are the moon cakes delicious?"
"I haven't done it yet, so I don't know." Gongliang shook his head.
"Then when you make it, be sure to give me some to try."
"good."
After hearing Gongliang's reply, Aruna felt inexplicably happy for some reason.
After returning home, Gongliang began to prepare an earth oven. But first he had to build a stove. He wanted to use this earth oven for a long time and did not want to leave it outside. Fortunately, when he built the kitchen before, he deliberately built it a little bigger.
There is more than enough room for a clay oven.
So, he built a stone stove in the kitchen and put the finished iron box on it.
In order to prevent the heat from dissipating, he also covered the side with soil taken from the fruit space lake, and then built a layer of stone slabs on the outside.
In this way, the earth oven is complete.
Migu looked at the weird things Dad made and didn't know what Dad wanted to do?
The foodie Yuan Gungun is also unclear.
Looking at the earthen oven that he had worked so hard to make, Gongliang couldn't help but hugged Migu, kissed it, and asked: "Migu, what kind of mooncake do you want to eat?"
"Papa, what are mooncakes?" Mi Gu asked curiously.
"What about moon cakes? They are cakes filled with meat, vegetables, fruits and other things."
The little one thought hard for a while, but she still didn't know what pancakes were, but that didn't stop her from making a choice, "Daddy, I like to eat pancakes with meat and fruit."
"Gongliang, I also like to eat meaty pancakes." Yuan Gungun also shouted beside him.
Gong Liang rolled his eyes at it and thought: Did I ask your opinion?
It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Gongliang couldn't wait to make the mooncakes before the soil on the earthen oven was dry. Of course, he didn't know how to make those puff pastry mooncakes, snowskin mooncakes and the like, and there were no such fillings here.
However, he knew how to make buns, so he wanted to use the method of making buns to make mooncakes, and then flatten them into a flat mooncake shape.
Anyway, as long as it looks like a mooncake, there is no need to pursue its connotation.
Gongliang also thought about the fillings, and there are three kinds, one is leek wild beast meat filling, the other is Henggong demon fish meat filling, and the other is spiritual fruit meat filling.
The skin is the flour skin that I got in Onifang Country last time. Because the wheat skin on the surface is not removed, the flour is a little dark, but it does not affect the eating.
When everything was ready, Gongliang was in the kitchen, on the table made of ironthorn wood, took some flour, mixed it with water and kneaded it into a dough, divided it into small pieces, and prepared for stuffing.
The leek and animal meat stuffing is made from mountain leeks and wild animal meat according to the method of leek and pork stuffing in the previous life. The seasoning is crystal salt and crab meat powder. It can be said to be a pure natural and pollution-free product. The fish meat filling is made of
The method of making urinary beef balls is to add egg white and potato starch and beat until it becomes gluey. I don’t know how the mooncakes will taste.
Finally, the spiritual fruit meat filling is made by Gongliang, smashing various spiritual fruits with sweet pulp and mixing them together. As for how the finished mooncakes are, you have to try them to know.
Gongliang took the dough and wrapped the fillings in the same way as a bun. After wrapping, he gently pressed it into a flat moon shape with the palm of his hand.
Little Mi Gu watched it for a while and felt that he knew how to make pancakes. The same goes for Yuan Guan Gun.
The little guy did have some talent. After a while, he followed Daddy's example and wrapped up a big moon cake, and he flapped his little wings in excitement.
This time it was broken. There was a pile of flour on the table. When the little guy opened the fan, the flour flew all over the air, and some of it got into Yuangun's nose. Yuanyuan felt that his nose was itchy, so he sneezed.
"Haqiu"
Gong Liang happened to be standing opposite it, and when he sneezed, the flour flew straight into his face. His face was suddenly covered with white flour, and he looked like a clown on the stage.
When Yuan Gungun saw that he was in trouble, he quickly ran away from the panda.
Mi Gu saw Daddy's weird look of flour on her face, holding her belly and bursting into laughter.
Gongliang glared at her angrily, this little brat. He wiped his face and wiped his face full of flour. Migu's pink face suddenly turned pink and white.
Seeing her plump face covered in flour, she laughed unscrupulously.
Mi Gu thought Daddy was playing with her, so she grabbed some flour and wiped it on Daddy's face. In an instant, Gongliang's face, hair, and neck were covered with flour, and some were scattered on his clothes. He looked like a snowman.
generally.
Seeing Daddy dressed in all white, Migu Le started dancing and was extremely happy.
Unexpectedly, great joy can lead to sorrow. Gong Liang stepped forward and grabbed her, and with his flour-covered hands, he touched her face, feathers, hair, tail, etc. all over with flour.
The originally pink and cute little guy turned into a little snowman in an instant, and his skin was a bit dark.
