Therefore, Meng Weisheng and Meng Lingjie were also very busy at this time.

Meng Lingjie has been in Meng Ji Pastry Shop for a long time, and he has been exposed to it every day, even if he can't get started with making these things, he can still help Meng Weisheng get started, so that Meng Weisheng is not so busy.

Seeing Shen Xiangmiao coming, the brothers greeted each other warmly.

handed the salt and pepper pot helmet and fresh meat pot helmet to the two people who came to buy the pot helmet, and explained that Meng Lingjie stared at the shop, Meng Weisheng wiped his hands on the apron and said, "Sister of the Shen family." ”

"Brother Meng." Shen Xiangmiao smiled, then raised her eyes and looked around, and said, "Brother Meng borrowed a step to speak." ”

Then he walked a few steps to the side, and Meng Weisheng followed her to a quiet place, and said, "Is there something wrong with the sister of the Shen family?" ”

"I didn't mean anything else when I asked this, not to ask about things and be that annoying long-tongued woman, but I also knew that Brother Meng did his best, and I was afraid that Brother Meng would only focus on the business of this shop, and he would ignore it." Shen Xiangmiao pursed her lips and smiled: "I just came to inquire, how is the matter between Brother Meng and Miss Feng now, have you ever set a wedding date?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Meng Weisheng knew that Shen Xiangmiao was afraid that he would only care about the shop business, and he was even more embarrassed to take a leave of absence and delay his own affairs, so his heart was naturally warm.

But at the mention of Feng Lihua, Meng Weisheng's cheeks couldn't help but turn red.

Before, he was thinking about the matter with Shen Xiangmiao, and pushed Feng Lihua's matter back, never thought that Feng Lihua was different from ordinary girls, she was generous, dared to think and do, and said everything to him, and came to him several times.

Feng Lihua is different, and she is affectionate and righteous to Meng Weisheng, no matter how good she looks, her character, her knitting female celebrity, and even her cooking skills, she is outstanding in every way, and her temperament is lively, which can be said to be impeccable.

In addition, Meng Weisheng figured out the matter with Shen Xiangmiao again, in the face of such a good Feng Lihua, where can there be a reason not to be moved.

So, a year ago, he personally went to the door to propose marriage, and the parents of both parties also decided to get married.

This matter must be a matter that the parents of both sides are naturally happy to see, and Meng Weisheng himself is also very happy in his heart, after all, he is not young, and now he can successfully start a family, which can be regarded as a matter of his own heart.

It's just that as long as I think of Feng Lihua's hearty whisper and the two shallow pear vortices on my cheeks when I laugh, I feel a burst of heat in my heart.

Even at this time, I feel like there is no place to put my hands and heels.

Seeing Meng Weisheng so shy and twisted, Shen Xiangmiao guessed that the marriage was decided, and she chuckled: "It seems that I have to say congratulations to Brother Meng first." ”

Meng Weisheng suddenly came back to his senses and hurriedly returned the salute to Shen Xiangmiao.

"Then when is Brother Meng's marriage scheduled?" Shen Xiangmiao asked.

"I am not young, my mother is old and not in good health, after the two families discussed, they said that the wedding date would be set earlier, and many rules would be simpler, and after the discussion a year ago, this day was set for April 12." Meng Weisheng replied.

Generally from the beginning to the marriage, some rules go down, more than ten months, less than half a year, before the year to set the date, the date is set on April 12, a total of four months, it is indeed a little nervous.

But as Meng Weisheng's situation is concerned, it is reasonable.

"The days are tight, Brother Meng is afraid that he has to prepare a lot of things, and the shop is too busy, so I often come to keep an eye on it. Simply Shen Ji has also Huang Yue to help take care of it recently, and he will not be too busy. Shen Xiangmiao said.

"It's not necessary, I'm busy in the town every day, my uncle and aunt are quite compassionate, most of the things are prepared by them, I just need to be busy with business, if it's really busy, it is estimated that it will be busy for a while." Meng Weisheng said with a smile: "The sisters of the Shen family don't have to worry. ”

The uncles and aunts in Meng Weisheng's mouth are Meng Lingjie's fathers and mothers.

Meng Lingjie looks at him as a down-to-earth and steady person on weekdays, he is not cheating and cheating, and he is also kind, since he is his father and mother, he is not bad.

"At that time, if you want to use some lo-mei to make cold dishes at the banquet, Brother Meng can open his mouth, how much is needed, I will prepare it for you in advance." Shen Xiangmiao said with a smile.

"Naturally, braised cold dishes are indispensable, and then I will have to trouble the Shen family's sisters." Meng Weisheng said to Shen Xiangmiao.

"It's all my own family, and Brother Meng is so polite." Shen Xiangmiao said with a smile: "Speaking of which, it's fifteen right now, what does Brother Meng think?" ”

"I will make some Lantern Festival in two days to sell, but making Lantern Festival is not a rare thing, and the practice is not complicated, many women and old people will do it, and I am afraid that those who come to buy are stupid or lazy, and it is estimated that they can't sell too much." Meng Weisheng said: "You can prepare more other pastries and snacks, the town of fifteen or sixteen is bound to hang lanterns, and when the town is lively, you can sell some pastries." ”

Meng Weisheng's idea, according to the current situation, is naturally not bad.

It's just that Shen Xiangmiao felt that it was still a little insufficient, and said with a smile: "I think I can still make some ideas on this Lantern Festival and Tangyuan." ”

Meng Weisheng was stunned for a moment: "Isn't this Lantern Festival just a dumpling?" ”

Shen Xiangmiao pursed her lips and smiled, sure enough, such a misunderstanding has existed since ancient times.

It stands to reason that on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, eat dumplings and eat Lantern Festival. This is a custom that has been practiced for thousands of years, and it can also be called a habit.

It's just that such customs are still a little surprising in the north and south, and the focus of the difference lies in this Lantern Festival.

Many people usually think that tangyuan is the Lantern Festival, but although the appearance of the two is similar and the materials required are basically the same, they are still completely different things, and there is a big difference.

And divided by region, it is usually the southern rice ball, the northern Lantern Festival.

But the ultimate difference between the two is in the method of production.

As the saying goes, wrap glutinous rice balls and roll Lantern Festival.

The production method of glutinous rice balls is usually glutinous rice flour and dough-like, and the required filling, usually black sesame seeds or five kernels, is wrapped in this glutinous rice dough, and the ball is formed into a round ball, which is frozen outside at night, and it is good to cook it in the pot at any time when eating.

And the mystery of the Lantern Festival lies in rolling. The filling of the Lantern Festival is generally a five-kernel filling, which is fried and ground with dried fruits such as peanuts, sesame seeds, walnuts, melon seeds, etc., mixed with lard and fried flour to form a filling that can be formed into a ball, and then placed on the glutinous rice flour and began to shake. The filling quickly sticks to the glutinous rice flour, and as it rolls back and forth, it snowballs bigger and bigger, and when it reaches the right size, it's good to go.

The two completely different approaches naturally lead to a significant difference in shape, taste, and texture.
