"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival in my hometown. As usual, we have to eat mooncakes to symbolize a family reunion. Miss Gloria should be busy tonight, so I won't keep you for the party. You can have this box of mooncakes on the way." Meg turned around and went into the kitchen. After a while, he came out with a box of mooncakes tied up with a string and handed it to Gloria.
"Thank you, I'll enjoy it." Gloria accepted the mooncake and nodded with a serious expression.
"Alright, go ahead." Meg smiled and nodded.
"Goodbye, Mr. Meg." Gloria nodded at Meg and walked out of the restaurant.
"Mooncakes … Tuan Tuan Yuanyuan." In the horse-drawn carriage, Gloria looked at the box of mooncakes on her lap, and a contemplative look appeared on her face. However, a smile soon appeared on her face, and she murmured to herself, "Then I'll bring it back to eat with them. Mickey should like desserts."
…
"Have you heard? Mamy's is holding a Mid-Autumn Festival Gala today. It seems like there will be a lot of people going."
"What is the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala?"
"I heard from Mr. Mak that it's a good festival to admire the flowers, the moon, and the fragrance of autumn. Autumn is probably a beauty."
"I'm not interested in flowers and moons, but I like to admire beauties. Let's go and have a look."
As night fell, a bustling Xixi crowd rushed to Amy's to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, which would start at 8 pm sharp. The crowd gathered in the open space outside the restaurant.
Although the stage was temporarily built, it was a steel-framed structure that looked very stable. Mobai and Lu Lu spent an afternoon sponsoring and building it. There were movable wheels at the bottom, and they could be separated from the middle. When not in use, they could be put away.
At this moment, there were several large bamboo baskets of mooncakes placed beside the stage. The mooncakes were simply wrapped in oil paper and stacked into a pyramid. For the time being, it was impossible to see what was inside, but the fragrance of the mooncakes was already spreading around the stage, making everyone salivate.
"It smells so good. Is this the mooncake Mr. Mak was talking about? It smells like a dessert. "
"Looks like I made the right decision to come tonight. Mr. Mak's food never disappoints."
"But with so many people here today, it'll be good enough if everyone can get a mooncake."
When the guests saw the baskets of mooncakes, their eyes lit up. Curiosity about mooncakes was the main motivation for everyone to come here. However, even though there were a lot of mooncakes in the baskets, there were also a lot of people who came today. Many of them came with their families. Children were laughing and playing around the stage, and the atmosphere was quite lively.
"Father, can I eat a mooncake first?" In the restaurant, Amy looked at Meg, who was busy in the kitchen, with an expectant look on her face. The small round mooncakes were like tiny moons.
Baskets filled with mooncakes were placed on the table beside the stage. There were even more mooncakes than the ones placed beside the stage.
Meg turned to Amy with a smile, and said, "Of course you can. There are eight types of mooncakes today, but the mooncakes will only be more delicious if everyone eats them together, so Amy can only eat one for now. You can eat another one during the banquet."
There were crispy five-kernel, pork floss, black sesame, and ham mooncakes, icy red bean paste, osmanthus mooncakes, egg yolks, and rock sugar mooncakes, all of which were arranged in a single row.
The freshly baked pastry mooncake was still steaming hot, and a crisp aroma wafted over. Meanwhile, the glittering and translucent ice-skinned mooncake beside it had a hint of coolness to it, making it look like a little ice fairy. The sugar-coated mooncake had a faint yellow hue to it, and one could almost see the filling inside, making one want to take a bite out of it.
"I can only eat one …" A conflicted expression appeared on Ai Mi's little face as she looked at the plates of mooncakes. All of them looked extremely delicious, and she wanted to pounce on them to take a bite, but she had no choice but to choose one. What a vexing situation.
Sally and Yabemiya were busy arranging the mooncakes on the table to dissipate heat, and they couldn't help but smile upon hearing the conversation between the two of them. One adorable mooncake after another was made by Meg, and all of them looked extremely adorable and delicious. The alluring aroma wafting through the air made their stomachs grumble uncontrollably.
"Eat one now, and you'll be able to eat all of them later, so there's no need to be so conflicted." Meg reminded with a smile. As expected, a foodie really couldn't make a choice when it came to food. This was even more painful than not being able to eat anything.
"In that case, I can only choose this super beautiful Ice Rabbit Mooncake." Amy pointed to an Osmanthus Ice Skin Mooncake. The translucent ice skin had a faint golden Osmanthus filling wrapped around it, making it appear as if a moon had been embedded into the ice skin. There was a jade rabbit imprinted on the surface of the mooncake, and even though it had been imprinted using an abrasive tool, all of the details were perfectly imprinted on the mooncake, and it looked extremely life-like.
"Wash your hands, then pick one for yourself." Mag chuckled. All of the ice skin mooncakes were made at noon as they had to be kept in the fridge for a few hours after being made. That way, they would taste better when they were taken out to eat.
"Alright!" Amy replied with an elated expression before carrying a small stool into the kitchen to wash her hands. She then carefully reached out with her little hands to pick up an Osmanthus Ice Skin Mooncake. The mooncake was cold to the touch, and it felt a little bouncy as she held it in her hands.
"You're so cute, little bunny. Your ears are standing up, but I'm going to eat you now." Amy looked at the mooncake in her hands with an elated expression before taking a bite out of it.
As soon as she bit into the ice-cold mooncake, the aroma of Osmanthus immediately wafted out. The sweet filling was all-pervasive, and it instantly filled her thirsty taste buds. The soft ice skin had a very smooth texture, and it was extremely refreshing.
Amy's eyes completely lit up, and her little cheeks puffed up as she chewed quickly like a rabbit. She nodded as she said, "Hmm, it's so delicious. It's as cold as ice cream, but it won't melt in my mouth. Also, the flowers inside are so fragrant, and it's as if I'm eating flowers. It's so sweet and fragrant, and it's super delicious! Father, you're the best! "
"Eat slowly, don't choke." Meg reminded her, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face. There was nothing happier than being praised by Amy. He turned to Sally and Yabemiya, and said with a smile, "Aisha, Mia, you two should eat a mooncake as well. You're going to perform and distribute mooncakes to everyone, so you'll definitely be hungry."
"Father, can we really perform 'Summer Is Here' today? But we don't have a little fan, "Amy asked with a mouthful of mooncake still stuffed into her mouth. She looked up at Meg with a question.
