Legend has it that this is how the Mid-Autumn Festival came about. In the Yuan Dynasty, a man named Zhu Yuanzhang rebelled against the rule of the Yuan Dynasty with the people. Strategist Liu Bowen once came up with a plan. Because the officers and men of the Yuan Dynasty were very heavily guarded, it was very difficult to deliver the news, so he hid the message note on August 15th in a cake and sent it to the insurgents all over the country.
Sure enough, the plan worked, everyone United and finally won the battle. The rebels and the people had a great time and distributed the news of "moon cakes" to everyone. Since then, moon cakes have been born.
Moon cakes are indispensable for Mid-Autumn Festival. People in China will eat a moon cake on the Mid-Autumn Festival. What are moon cakes like? Let me introduce you!
Mooncakes mean reunion. The appearance of moon cakes is a golden skin with various patterns printed on it, which is very beautiful. Just looking at the appearance makes people drool, and the stuffing is delicious. There are many kinds of fillings in moon cakes. There are mung beans, five kernels, lotus seed yolk, pure lotus seeds ... my favorite are lotus seed yolk moon cakes and five kernels moon cakes.
Mooncakes with lotus seed paste and egg yolk are one of the most classic flavors. When we gently bite, we will first taste the sweetness and softness of lotus paste, which will melt in the mouth, and then bite into it with a salty egg yolk. At this time, the sweetness and saltiness will not conflict, but complement each other, so that the whole moon cake is not sweet or greasy, just right, and its delicious taste is really irresistible.
If you are a foodie, you will definitely have a full meal at a time. The stuffing of Wuren moon cake is almond, peach kernel, peanut kernel, hemp seed and melon seed kernel, so it is called "Wuren moon cake". When we take a bite, we will feel dry, but when we chew the stuffing slowly, there will be a mouthful of nuts, black sesame seeds, melon seeds and almonds. ...
On the Mid-Autumn Festival, we began to have a reunion dinner, which was so rich. There are crabs, fish and beef. Our family sat around the dining table, eating delicious food and enjoying the Mid-Autumn Festival party. Everyone is very happy this year, because it is a very happy thing for a family to get together. August 15th of the lunar calendar is a traditional festival in China-Mid-Autumn Festival.
