Chapter 146 Spending Mid-Autumn Festival at Old Chen's House, Two Cousins ​​Overturn My Impression
The older sister treated everyone to a meal, and the younger sister could spend whatever she wanted, including participating in a 15-yuan exchange activity.

Chen Taotao then got another little toy.

As for lunch, Chen Zhou originally planned to cook a few home-style dishes at home.

But Ms. Lin suggested eating out.

And she was the one paying for the meal:
“You’re always serving people in the store, so it’s your turn to relax and enjoy yourself.”

The owner currently does not interfere with the operation of the community canteen.

Chen Zhou found all the few opinions he expressed to be very reasonable.

With so many positive reviews, shouldn't you enjoy it a bit?

"I agree."

The junior sister naturally had no objections. She raised her hand and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm just here to freeload."

As for Chen Taotao, a five-year-old child, a small toy is enough to make her happy for several days.

Ms. Lin really went all out this time, taking several people to a restaurant where the average cost per person is not low, and they had a good meal outside.

Normally, Ms. Lin would rarely spend money like this.

Moreover, Ms. Lin rarely looks at herself like that.

Chen Zhou unilaterally believes:
You might still have pocket money at thirty, that makes all the difference.

In the afternoon, Ms. Lin made some simple preparations for the video platform event.

There's really nothing to prepare.

She felt that her husband had finally gotten a break after being busy for a while, so she stopped Chen Zhou from making the mooncakes again at home.

Therefore, Lin Yifan simply cut open the existing mooncake.

I talked about the contents.

Some questions regarding the production process were answered and supplemented by Chen Zhou and Chen Taotao.

Chen Zhou's reply was indeed quite professional.
He's already spent his points; his skill level is what it is.

Chen Taotao was in charge of saying "Yes" and "That's right," and she did a good job as the atmosphere-maker.

It was less about participating in the Mid-Autumn Festival moon-eating activity and more about the family having fun together.

However, the videos, featuring a gentle and unassuming style, maintain a simple and understated aesthetic.

But it was surprisingly popular.

When I checked again that evening, there were quite a few likes and comments.

Chen Zhou and his wife took a look together.

Many neighbors who ordered the five-nut mooncakes this time came to help. After Ren Dan Ru Ju officially joined the community canteen, it has also attracted a lot of attention from customers.

Therefore, various kinds of five-nut mooncakes with knife marks appeared in the comments section.

The filling is the same.

"You should be able to tell that it's made with high-quality materials. I'm using a *** phone, and the close-up shots are very clear."

"My baby especially loves the candied fruit and green plum filling. The owner said it's made with roses and green plums, and it's really good."

"It's fake, it's fake! All the five-nut mooncakes I've ever eaten before were fake!"

Once you break or cut open a mooncake, it's quite easy to tell the quality of the filling. It's understandable that some people get emotional about it.

Besides the five-nut mooncake, there were also IPs from other regions who left comments about the fresh meat mooncake.

"Why is the food I'm eating different from yours? Is it from the same restaurant? How many owners are there in the community canteen?"
-
"Hey! Why are there minced meat fillings too?"
-
"But the taste is really good. Except for the first bite when you taste the filling, it's a bit strange. Just eat it like a steamed bun. The outer skin is a slightly sweet steamed bun."

Chen Zhou felt that the community canteen version of fresh meat mooncakes had at least found a target audience.

When asked about the number of female bosses, Chen Zhou personally typed out a reply:
"Just one proprietress [covers mouth and laughs]"

Ms. Lin was sitting right next to him.

She was very satisfied with her husband's prompt reply.

Meanwhile, Danruju, who wasn't originally on the list, has quietly been added as number 99 in red under her "Autumn Moon Chewing" video.

The growth momentum is good, and Ms. Lin always manages to find her place.

The next day, the family of three went to Old Chen's house to celebrate the festival.

Old Chen is the second oldest in his family, meaning Chen Zhou also has an older uncle.

There are two cousins ​​over there, Chen Hang and Chen Fang.

Because Mr. and Mrs. Chen usually take care of Grandpa Chenzhou, during family gatherings for holidays, it is always Uncle Chenzhou's side that hosts the dinner party, booking a restaurant to sit outside.

It saves us from having to do chores at home.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is the same; we'll be able to get the whole family together.

During their brief stop at Old Chen's house, Chen Zhou told Tao Tao:

"You've already met your uncles and grandfathers during the New Year, so there's no need to be shy today. Besides, you're the only little girl in the whole family."

"Am I the only little girl here?" Chen Taotao asked.

Grandpa and Grandma loved her so much, they would gently pinch her little nose:

"You're the only one!"

Tao Tao was amused and giggled.

The small family, including Mr. and Mrs. Chen, makes up a medium-sized family of five.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, everyone gathered together, forming an even larger family.

A family was having dinner together, catching up and reminiscing. Some people at the table were drinking and boasting, while the ladies around them were chatting about everyday things and gossiping.

When one of her sisters-in-law had a second child, Ms. Lin and another sister-in-law inevitably got asked the same question.

The little ones finished their meal early and then played around their great-grandfather, who now has difficulty walking.

Since it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, we also symbolically shared two mooncakes.

Just for the festive atmosphere.

Old Chen did receive gifts from his two nephews, but during the meal, he still took out the mooncakes his son had made.

He proudly scattered them around.

"Chen Hang, Chen Fang, you two have a taste."
-
"Okay, second uncle."
-
"We can take them ourselves."

Judging from its appearance alone, the Five-Nut Mooncake with Flowers and Full Moon is just an ordinary, old-fashioned mooncake with a thickened crust. After the oil has seeped back into the crust, it becomes soft and has a slightly oily sheen.

Because it lacked packaging, it even appeared somewhat rudimentary.

But Chen Zhou's two cousins ​​gave their second uncle a lot of face.

I know that my second uncle and his wife have stayed in their hometown all these years, and they have been helping to take care of my grandfather most of the time.

Respect and gratitude.

So before they even ate, they started praising it:
"Oh dear, I crave some traditional mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival."
-
"Yes, I miss it so much. Uncle's mooncakes are so good, so delicious!"

Chen Zhou used to eat mooncakes with the two of them, and he never missed a meal.

Those old-fashioned five-nut mooncakes are a shared memory for the three brothers.

Nobody likes to eat it.

However, Chen Zhou didn't say anything this time, suppressing his laughter as he watched his two older brothers perform.
-
"This handwriting is quite good."
-
"It smells really good. My wife just said this mooncake is especially delicious."

Old Chen said to his two nephews, "Hurry up and try it, you're the only ones who haven't had any yet, it's a big holiday."
-
"Okay, uncle."
-
"Let's try it."

Chen Zhou's two cousins, while not exactly summoning up courage, certainly made a considerable decision.

They each tasted it.

At first, they remained cautious and only tried a small part.

Because in their minds, after biting through the sweet outer layer, the inside was an even sweeter and more chewy five-nut filling.

But the mooncake crust is actually quite good.

It's not that sweet, nor that cloying.
-
"My second uncle really brought us some good stuff."
-
"It feels alright."

The two were looking forward to the filling.

It's a bit deeper.

Take a bite and you'll be greeted by the rich aroma of the mixed nuts filling.

There was no unpleasant crunching sound when chewing it.

Even the candied fruit inside has a slightly sweet and refreshing aroma.

It's so different from what I ate when I was a child.
-
"Second Uncle, where did you buy these mooncakes?"

Old Chen proudly pointed to his son.

Chen Zhou smiled at his two cousins: "I made it myself."
-
"What the hell?"
-
"Fuck!"

Old Chen, when he was at home, actually never tasted the mooncakes his son made.

If he had known it would be this delicious, he wouldn't have taken more than his share.

The entire box was given away.

Old Chen is someone who wouldn't admit he's a bit stingy, but today he admits he regrets it a little.

Chen Zhou received praise from more than a dozen members of the Chen family.

Total: 13.5.

Except for his grandfather's teeth being a bit weak and his nephew not having any teeth yet, everyone else was present.

Chen Taotao seemed to want to help, so she shared a piece with her great-grandfather as well.

"Great-Grandpa, you should try it!"

Ms. Lin called out to her daughter, "Tao Tao~"

"Ow."

The little girl withdrew her hand.

But my great-grandfather really liked this little girl surnamed Chen, so he still tried the outer crust of the mooncake.

“Our Tao Tao is so sensible.”

Without realizing it, I also gave my grandson a positive review +1.

Meanwhile, Chen Hang and Chen Fang, Chen Zhou's two cousins, inevitably chatted with him about opening a restaurant and running a business, while discussing five-nut mooncakes.

Actually, there is nothing to talk about.

Neither of them works in this field, so they mostly listened to Chen Zhou talk.

But the bond is still there; we grew up together. We often got together to play during winter and summer vacations.

So after a few words, Chen Zhou turned the conversation back to his two cousins.

They did mention a cousin who had recently had trouble selling chestnuts.

This Mid-Autumn Festival might not be a good one.
-
"Which cousin?"
-
"We went there together when we were kids!"
