Datang: At the beginning, Li Er eavesdropped on his heart

Chapter 95 Congratulations!

At the end, having had enough fun, the maids cleaned up the messy "flour battlefield", and the princesses and princes began to make moon cakes seriously.

However, making mooncakes is easy to say, but quite difficult in practice.

Li Lizhi tried many times back and forth but couldn't come up with a decent one, so she was a little discouraged.

"Le Yan, look at this, why did it look like this?"

Li Leyan also made something out of shape by herself, with a frustrated face.

"It's the same with mine, is the dough too soft?"

"I don't know, but I didn't add that much water,"

The two had a melancholy look on their faces.

Looking at the other party's and then at his own, a flash of light from the corner of his eye saw Li Yin humming a ditty and operating in a decent manner, and the finished product was quite impressive.

Several brothers and sisters were taken aback.

This eight-year-old doll can make mooncakes?

They didn't believe it a little bit, but the finished product was already in front of them, even if they didn't believe it.

Li Tai also noticed it and looked at the mooncake with clear skin and fillings in his hand.

"Why is sixth brother's so pretty and mine like this?"

After talking to himself, Li Yin leaned over in a daze.

"Sixth brother, how did you do it? Why did we make it like this?"

Holding a ball of flour with stuffing in his hand, Li Tai leaned over and asked Li Yin what he said.

Li Lizhi and others also moved over when they heard the sound.

Li Min looked at it and his lips cracked with pride: "If you want to learn, I'll teach you."

Then there is a decent operation.

The other princes and princesses were stunned and couldn't believe it, and at the same time praised them repeatedly.

"Actually, making mooncakes is also very particular. I usually divide it into six stages."

With that said, Li Yin put down what he hadn't done yet, and started teaching them again.

"First, we need to make the mooncake skin. You see, this one is made of leather, and this one is made of pastry, and then knead them into balls."

While Li Yin was explaining, he began to guide him hand in hand, and everyone who watched was shocked.

Everyone began to follow Li Min's method. Only Li Chengqian felt very uncomfortable seeing his brothers and sisters having fun together.

Isn't it just making moon cakes?What's the big deal?Still have to ask.

Thinking of this in his heart, Li Chengqian's face was full of vinegar.

Somehow he didn't know how to fit in with them.

But kneading dough is a laborious task, Li Yin has the heart, but he is only eight years old, so he has to let the servants beside him do it for him.

After the dough was formed, Li Yin put it aside and said:

"Okay, the first step is done here, and the second step is to make the stuffing."

As he spoke, he took a look at the ingredients prepared by the palace man, and then said: "Let's make pine nut and jujube puree. First remove the pits of the black dates, wash them, then steam them and grind them into pieces. Then put the sugar into the pot and add water. , heat to dissolve into syrup, as long as the syrup can be picked out with bamboo chopsticks, then add the date paste, oil, and pine nuts, mix well, and cook on low heat until it does not stick to your hands. "

He spoke quickly, but his hands only reached the place where the date stones were peeled.

Everyone followed the method to make it, and after some operations, the second step was also completed.

Then the stuffing is wrapped, put into a grinder to shape, and steamed in a steamer.

This process was a bit long, but Li Shimin watched it with relish.

He really didn't know that his youngest son had so many talents at such a young age, which really surprised him.

"Hey, Le Yan, do you think it's really delicious when made according to Sixth Brother's method?"

After completing a series of steps, Li Lizhi asked in a low voice while looking at the steam rising slowly from the steamer.

Li Leyan also stared at the steamer with her big eyes. Listening to what Li Lizhi said, she shook her head without moving her eyes.

"I don't know, but I think what Sixth Brother said is serious, so there should be no problem."

At this time, Li Tai also came over.

"Hey, what are you talking about?"

Li Leyan replied: "Oh, we are talking about whether the mooncakes will be delicious after making them."

Li Tai unconsciously looked at the steamer when he heard it.

Ever since, the three children just sat together and stared at the steamer with sticky faces.

Only Li Yin continued to sit on moon cakes in front of the table.

When Li Lizhi and the others found out, it was time for Li Yin to be finalized.

The three of them couldn't help but walked over.

"Sixth Brother, hasn't it already been made? What are you still doing?"

As they said that, they noticed the mold in Li Yin's hand again, the shape was very cute.

Or in other words, they have never seen mooncakes with that shape.

Since the Mid-Autumn Festival, they have always believed that mooncakes can only be round. Today, seeing Li Min's operation, their knowledge has increased.

"Sixth brother, why is your mooncake shaped like this? It looks like... like a bear."

"Yes, yes, it looks so cute."

Li Min chuckled: "This is my unique mold. It's cute. It will be even cuter when the finished product comes out."

After speaking, Li Yin continued to operate.

Soon, the first wave of finished products was ready, and the mooncakes made by the princesses were presented on each table. Although the taste was not as good as those in the imperial dining room, they were still good. All the concubines smiled and nodded in appreciation.

"The children's craftsmanship is really good. Try this, it's made by Min'er. Min'er is the youngest of them, but the taste is the best."

A concubine said so to the concubine beside her.

All of a sudden, apart from the sound of the piano, there were bursts of voices at the banquet.

At the same time, Li Lizhi and the others gathered together, happily holding the mooncakes they made and smiling from ear to ear.

"Leyan Leyan, look, I made this, and there are words on it."

Li Leyan looked at it and saw that it was true, but then she looked at her own. Except for the original pattern of the mold on the middle point, the bare sides were not as good-looking as Li Li's.

She couldn't help being puzzled and said: "Sister, we all made it according to the sixth brother's method. Why does yours have words, but mine doesn't?"

Li Tai also looked at his own: "That's right, that's right, I don't have mine either."

Li Lizhi was the same as Li Yin just now, with the corner of her mouth proudly said: "Hehe, you didn't think of this, did you? I wrote it on it with a hairpin before putting it in the steamer."

Everyone suddenly realized.

"Is that so, why didn't I think of that?"

Li Lizhi rubbed Li Leyan's head: "You are still young, so naturally you don't think so much, be good, you will be able to think about it when you reach my age." Li Leyan smiled and nodded.

Li Shimin looked at his children, all of them were so harmonious, and he was immediately happy.

Thinking back to himself and those brothers who killed each other and brother to brother for the throne, now that he has few reliable brothers around him, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel helpless.
