One afternoon, the two were busy rubbing and baking mooncakes.

The whole yard was full of strong fragrance. If the door was not closed, many people would have come to ask what Ji Wei was doing.

The next day, it was made of salted egg yolk, washed with fine salt, wrapped in the lotus seed paste and cake skin, and after baking, the two of them put the moon cakes in the prepared packaging box together, there are a total of four flavors, a total of eight boxes.

Four of the boxes were prepared for the magistrate Lu Zhanhong.

If you want to go to the high-end market, how can you ignore the most prestigious county magistrate?

Ji Wei came to visit with four boxes of beautifully packaged moon cakes. Unfortunately, Lu Zhanhong happened to go out to meet an old friend, and Lu Yushu was also studying in the county school. He didn't know anyone in the family, and he didn't stay much, so he left four boxes of moon cakes. And attached a leaflet for moon cakes, and chose to go back to Changliu Town.

Lu Zhanhong and Lu Yushu's father and son were not there, and Mrs. Lu was not very curious about it. The four boxes of moon cakes with the instruction manual were all put aside, waiting for the two father and son to return home.

Two days later, Lu Yushu returned from the county school, and Lu Zhanhong also bid farewell to his friends. The family was rarely reunited at a table, and Mrs. Lu suddenly mentioned the four boxes of moon cakes.

"Moon cake? What is this?" Lu Zhanhong was quite curious and ordered someone to fetch it.

Lu Yushu recognized Ji Wei and told his parents about the cookies and doughnuts Ji Wei made, and his parents were surprised.

However, Lu Zhanhong, who knew Ji Wei in court, only thought that Lu Yushu was exaggerating and believed that the cookie was something Ji Wei made straight, and he didn't believe that he had such talent.

After all, with such craftsmanship, why not have money? Why do you need to be a bully that everyone shouts and beats, and go to the streets to beg for money to make a living.

"The Ji Wei you said is the one from Changliu Town?" Lu Zhanhong held the exquisite cardboard box in his hand, turned his head in surprise and asked Mrs. Lu.

"Although I haven't seen it before, the butler said that he called himself Changliuzhen Jiwei. I think it's the person your father and son mentioned before, right?" Mrs. Lu is a female, and it is inconvenient to meet foreign guests alone. This is what the butler told her. of.

Hearing Lu Zhanhong say a few words, he suddenly became curious.

"It seems that the prodigal son really can't change his money." Mrs. Lu clapped her hands and smiled.

"If it's true, that's fine." Lu Zhanhong was still puzzled, but Lu Yushu moved quickly. He had already flipped through it, and deftly opened the carton along the gap, revealing six small boxes of mooncakes arranged neatly inside.

"How can this be said in two words with intention?" Mrs. Lu took a lavender box handed over by Lu Yushu and couldn't help but marvel.

On the other hand, Lu Yushu looked around, stroked with his hands, and sniffed lightly with his nose, and said with a certain degree of certainty: "This is not hand-painted, it looks like it was printed, and the lines are a little stiff."

Lu Zhanhong also nodded and said, "If it's hand-painted, it's inferior. But if it's printed as the jade book says, it's really ingenious."

They have only seen prints, but never prints.

But this answer, only Ji Wei himself can answer them.

"Look, father, the characters written on each box are different." Lu Yushu held a cardboard box in each hand and motioned Lu Zhanhong to read the small characters in the lower left corner.

"Fresh meat, lotus seed and salted egg yolk, it sounds interesting." Lu Zhanhong peeled off an inner package, revealing the red-brown mooncake baked inside, about half the size of a palm, with uneven patterns printed on the surface. .

It is even more amazing to complement each other on the packaging.

"I've been an official for more than ten years. Whether it's in a big house or a small town, I've never seen such exquisite cakes. Is this moon cake specially designed for the Mid-Autumn Festival by Ji Wei? He was impressed." Lu Zhanhong urged Madam Lu and Lu Yushu to taste it, and he tasted a moon cake with lotus seed paste and salted egg yolk.

The lotus seed paste is sweet, the egg yolk is salty, and the soft and oily texture of the moon cakes, the sweet and salty feeling, made Lu Zhanhong raise his eyebrows and couldn't help but look at the egg yolk inside.

"This egg yolk is salty and fragrant. It is much harder than ordinary egg yolks. The color is bright red and the taste is very strange." Lu Zhanhong said.

"Father, look, these fresh meat-flavored mooncakes are really made with a sufficient amount of pork. They are salty and fragrant, and they are fat and thin. They taste 30% better than your favorite meatloaf!"

"I'm..." Mrs. Lu chose black sesame peanuts, and a scent more intense than the others entered the noses of the three of them.

The roasted black sesame peanuts and melted sucrose are sweet in the mouth, and the more you chew, the more fragrant it is.

The three of them just took a bite, and they were all overwhelmed by the unique texture and taste of this mooncake.

"Father, when meeting friends in the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is very suitable to use this as a gift." Lu Yushu stroked the pattern of the box and said with emotion, "I thought the doughnuts and cookies were amazing enough, but I didn't expect this season Wei, always ingenious and come up with such good ideas."

"Yushu is right, I should order more, and when old friends come to visit, I will give them a gift." He carefully checked the flavors written on the shell, "Why don't you choose four boxes of each? ?"

"Very good, but I don't know what the price is?"

"No matter how expensive it is, it can be expensive. I think this moon cake is complicated to make, and it must take a lot of work. If you really want to order it, you should go earlier." Mrs. Lu said.

The father and son nodded in agreement, asked the housekeeper to instruct them, and planned to pick a time in the two days to go to Changliu Town to find Ji Wei to order moon cakes.

However, the sale of the final mooncakes was quite different from the four boxes of mooncakes sent to Lufu.

The sales version is a box of six moon cakes, divided into two flavors, two boxes are sold at a time, and the price is one tael of silver.

For the moon cakes sent to Lufu, in order for them to fully taste, it was a box of one flavor, and a full two boxes were sent. At this time, they didn't know the relationship of these two taels of silver. When they saw Ji Wei in the future, they realized how much he had given him as a gift.

This matter will not be mentioned for the time being.
