Tofu Nao first made three small bowls to feed one or two belly, Li Han patted some peanuts and walnuts, the fragrance was overflowing, and the sauce left in the refrigerator was warmed with water and scooped with a spoon, sprinkled with a handful of coriander, mustard live together. Standing beside Li Han, a little guy, Dudu and Baobao, were bellowing, hunched over their feet, and stared eagerly. "Dad, are you all right?"

  Li Han pinched Dudu's little face. "Okay, you can't eat more with a small bowl per person, and there will be a lot of delicious food in a while." "Well." The two little guys happily carried the small bowls and ran back to the living room, sitting on the sofa, watching TV and enjoying themselves. Eating tofu brain.

   The two little guys were busy for a while, and finally they had the fragrant tofu nao, swaying their calves, humming cheerful notes, and eating delicious tofu nao one spoonful after another, with a small mouth. Li Han saw Yile, and Li Han put a small bowl into his stomach in one breath. Tofu was made by his mother, and Li Han was kicked out of the kitchen. "Little Han, leave it to me and your Aunt Xu. You can buy some vegetables."

  Li Han saw that he couldn't get involved, so he went back to the living room, thinking about the lively festival at night, took the phone and called Kaidi Weili to ask if he had time in the evening. These friends don't need to be invited in advance like Uncle Ronald's elders. They don't pay much attention. Cady, Weili, Bill, Cynthia and others are very interested in traditional Chinese festivals, especially Dolores. This little girl is very interested in Chinese culture. Interested, and after a while, he came with Michelle.

  As soon as Liz arrived, the living room was lively, Dudu and Baobao, Michelle and the three little guys chased and played, and Liz even pestered Li Han to tell the story of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Li Han directly caught Dudu and Bao Bao and 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 Gui, and Jade Rabbit making medicine. Dad told you about it last time."

  Lisi pouted, pouted in dissatisfaction, snorted, stretched out her hand and pinched the little faces of Dudu and the baby, making the two little girls pouted. "Dad, Sister Liz hurts Dudu, don't talk about Dudu."

"Han, what did pandora say?" Liz blinked her eyes a little blankly. Liz was still a little unfamiliar with Chinese, so she could only say a few simple words, delicious, hello, etc., Dudu whispered, how do you know What's the meaning.

   "Liz, just sit down if you want to hear the story, and Dudu will tell you first." Li Han rubbed Dudu's little head and told Dudu, Dad is going to buy food and make it delicious. "Well, Dudu is about to tell." As soon as Dudu started, Michelle sat down obediently and listened to sister pandora's story, Liz was a little unwilling, but after a while, Liz was attracted to the story of pandora , listening intently, Li Han left without paying attention.

  Li Han drove a farmer's cart to the town supermarket, went shopping around to buy some needed ingredients and fruits, returned to the small farm, and the baby was still telling stories. Li Han's ingredients were put in the kitchen, and he began to work on the mooncake fillings. Mom and Aunt Xu prepared them a few days earlier. In Li Han's impression, the moon cakes are filled with green and red silk and rock candy. Every bite of rock candy is a surprise. The green and red silk is made by my mother and Aunt Xu after a few days of work. The green and red silk is mostly made of radish, mustard greens, orange peel, winter melon, watermelon peel and other raw materials.

When Qinghongsi was a child, Li Han saw that his mother made it. First, he cleaned the raw materials such as radishes and mustard greens, cut them into filaments, and soaked them in salted lime water for two or three days to make the slivers hard and not easy to rot. , and also remove the original taste of the silk strips. After drying, it is dyed with red and green colors to make semi-finished products of green and red silk. Finally, stir with sugar, and the green and red silk is done.

Li Han didn't like eating very much when he was a child, and always felt that the taste was not good. At that time, his mother always said, "Grandma's blue and red silk is delicious, and the taste is good, but it's a pity that my grandma died early and didn't learn it." The cyan and red silk, Li Han still feels a little nostalgic, take a closer look, how beautiful it is.

  Making moon cakes is not an easy task, Li Han can only look at them, but he is not very good at making them. However, Li Han is good at placing the incense case. Just looking for the incense, Li Han spent a lot of effort. He looked around in the supermarket, but he didn't see it in the end. He just bought some candles for his birthday. .

   "Dudu, baby, come and help wash the fruit and set the fruit." The table on Li Han's terrace was moved to the lawn of the small yard, placed it, and turned around and said to Dudu and the baby. "Han, I'll help too." "Thank you, Liz, wash the fruit first, and the baby will go to the kitchen to get some dishes, and he will put the fruit."

"Yeah." The baby ran into the house, Dudu and Liz, and Michelle took the fruit to the sink to wash, watermelon, melon, apple, orange, pomegranate, some seasonal fruits, washed and put them in the basin inside.

  Li Han took the plate that the baby was carrying, placed it, and then placed the fruit. After a while, the moon cakes and snacks were ready, and then placed. "Han, is this all right?" "No, there are also moon cakes, reunion cakes, and snacks."

   Li Han burned incense and waxed, and told Liz, Dudu, Baobao, and Michelle the custom of bowing to Chang'e, the moon god. "It's so interesting, Han, what else is there?" Liz was even more anxious than Dudu and Bao Bao. The two little guys pouted Lao Gao, and Michelle pulled Aunt Laris.

   "Now let's make the reunion cake." The reunion cake is easy to make. Li Han had planned to bring a few little guys to make it together. After reconciling the flour, Li Han brought it out. Dudu and a few little guys sat around Li Han.

The reunion cakes are mostly symbolic, not necessarily delicious. Li Han rolled the dough, Dudu and Baobao, Michelle pinched the bunny, and Liz followed Dudu and Baobao to learn how to pinch the bunny and draw. Lord Rabbit. Li Han rolled out the dough, spread a layer of peanut oil on one layer, and added a layer of bean paste and honey. Li Han made three layers and used four dough layers.

   Compact the corners and cut off the excess dough with scissors. Liz forgot to pinch the bunny, and stared at Li Han's reunion cake while pinching out a beautiful lace. "Han, you are amazing, can you teach me?"

   "No problem, it's very simple." Li Han squeezed and squeezed again, and a piece of lace came out, but in Liz's hands, it was completely different. "Sister Liz is so stupid."

   Dudu said, I didn't expect the two little guys, Michelle and Baobao, to nod along, but Michelle was so angry that she caught a few little guys and wiped the faces of the three little guys with their hands. "Hahaha." Liz saw the white flour on the faces, nose, and forehead of the three little guys, and she couldn't straighten her waist happily.

   Li Han's reunion cake is almost done, the lace is pinched, he took a glass Coke bottle, and opened a few Nao Teng Lisi. "Dudu, baby, the little rabbit is ready to help Dad make the granary and food."

Sure enough, the little guys are interested in this. Warehouse Wowo is the best way to do it. You can squeeze it with your hands and have a few small dough balls. Small corn on the cob, small pumpkin, carved and painted with bamboo strips. Sample. A few little guys, but they were very happy. The small warehouse and food were ready. Li Han used a glass bottle to gently press out a circle on a big cake. It was very beautiful, and Dudu hurriedly said when he saw it. "Dad, Dudu press." "Okay, don't push hard, gently."

  Dudu nodded vigorously, took the glass bottle and climbed onto the chair excitedly, holding the glass bottle and pressing it in a big circle. "Giggle, Dudu presses the circle." "Baby also." The baby ran into the kitchen to find the bottle.

  Li Han first prepared the red dates and red bean paste in batches, wrapped them in multi-grain powder, and sprinkled some green and red silk, like colorful balls, very beautiful. "The **** are so beautiful." A small colorful ball was placed in the middle of the circle.

  Li Han used the flour on the side to knead the noodles and pinched a small flower, decorated with red hearts and shredded yellow radish, like a blooming chrysanthemum. "Dad only has flowers and food, no pigs and lambs." Dudu said, the whole reunion cake is really big, but the decorations are lace and flowers, and the food is made of flour, and there are no small animals. "Sister Dudu, we want to draw Rabbit, not piglets and lambs." The baby waved his hand.

  Li Han smiled and touched Dudu's little head. "Sister Baobao is right. After pinching the rabbit and painting it beautifully, Dudu and the baby will wear Hanfu later."

Li Han put the reunion cake in the oven, returned to the terrace, brought Liz, Dudu, Baby, Michelle to draw Rabbit Lord, Willie, Kady, Bill came, saw Li Han with the little guys Have fun drawing rabbits. "Han, what are you doing?"

   "Uncle Willi, Dudu is drawing Rabbit Lord, it's beautiful." Dudu raised his little head, smiled and raised his hand Rabbit Lord. Rabbit Lord kneaded it with dough, and drew colorful little rabbits with various jams. Li Han didn't have a small white rabbit made of a mold to draw a few little guys. He could only use dough, pinch the little rabbit, and stroke it with jam. It was very fun.

   Li Han's custom of painting Rabbit Lord, Wei Li, Kady, and Bill are very interested, Li Han can't laugh or cry. "William, Kady, Bill, help me build a bonfire when you come. There will be a bonfire on the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Bonfire party, Han, Campfire Kady, Bill, we are in charge." Willi, Kady, Bill, the three found a place, set up a shelf, and carried the firewood in the backyard, and set it up, all three of them are veterans. Kung Fu, the yard set up a bonfire.

  Li Han made a few small torches with firewood and handed them to Dudu, Baobao, and Michelle. Although the custom of making torches is not from Anxi, it can be regarded as a Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival custom, and it is very fun. Liz didn't hear the story of the torch, so she quit and pestered Li Han to make her a torch.

  The torch is not difficult, Li Han made another one at random, who wants power, Kady, Bill learned to get one, and talked for a while. After the bonfire was set up, Li Han and Weili, Bill, Kady, prepared beer and drinks, brought a few long tables from the basement and covered them with tablecloths.

   "Dad, it's not sweet." Dudu took a bite and raised his head with confusion on his face. "It's used as a meal. To add vegetables, the sides are crispy and fragrant." Li Han squeezed some crispy corners and sent them to Dudu's mouth. "Mmmm." "Okay, let's help bring it out and set it up."
