Chapter 461 Mid-Autumn Festival
Ze Yu likes to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival very much.
In the past six hundred years, except for the time when he first crossed over, Ze Yu was hunted by the magic family, which prevented him from spending a peaceful Mid-Autumn Festival...
In addition, Ze Yu never misses the Mid-Autumn Festival every year.
He likes to eat mooncakes while standing in the moonlight and admiring the silver full moon.
That feeling is beautiful.
"Let's ask Ayumi and the others to come together tomorrow." Ze Yu looked at the sky and said to himself, "I can't eat the mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival alone."
“It’s more fun if we eat together.”
.........
The next day, the weekend.
After receiving Sawaha's invitation, a group of elementary school students ran to Dr. Agasa's house, gathered in the kitchen, and looked at Sawaha.
As for Dr. Agasa?
He originally wanted to go into the kitchen to join in the fun, but was driven out by Ze Yu.
[We kids are making snacks, so you, as an elderly person, should not interfere.]
This is pretty much what Ze Yu meant, but his expression was more tactful.
"Xiao Yu, when you called me, you said you wanted to make moon-viewing cakes for everyone to eat?" Ayumi blinked her big watery eyes curiously.
"That's true, but there is one thing worth correcting." Ze Yu shook his finger and said seriously: "It's not just me who should do the trick, everyone should do it together, so that it will be sincere."
"Let's make cakes together?" Yuan Tai scratched his hair in confusion and asked unconfidently, "Is this okay?"
"Okay." Ze Yu smiled sweetly, raised his thumbs to everyone, and cheered them on: "I believe you can do it."
"Xiao Yu." Hiroki smiled bitterly and said, "We don't know yet, what type of cakes are you going to make?"
Ze Yu doesn't even know what type of pastry to make, and he's cheering him on. Isn't this forcing him to do something?
"Mooncake, have you heard of it?" Ze Yu asked with a smile.
Mitsuhiko frowned, thought for a while, and said, "I think I've heard of this somewhere."
"We have never eaten mooncakes." Ayumi raised her hand and said excitedly, "I hope Xiaoyu can fulfill our wish!"
"Are the mooncakes delicious?" Yuan Tai was a little confused.
"Don't expect me to do it alone." Ze Yu said mercilessly: "Everyone must learn how to make mooncakes, no one can be left behind."
Ze Yu not only wants everyone to eat mooncakes together, but also wants everyone to make mooncakes together.
It’s more fun to eat mooncakes that you make yourself.
"But we don't seem to know how to make mooncakes." Mitsuhiko frowned in embarrassment.
"It's okay, I'll teach you." Ze Yu patted his chest and said confidently.
After saying that, under everyone's gaze, Ze Yu took out a bunch of ingredients and started making mooncakes.
White sugar, peanut oil, honey, baking soda...
Pour together, add water and stir well.
Sift in flour and knead into dough...
Wrap the dough with red bean paste, sprinkle starch in the mold, put the mooncake in, and press it into a flower shape...
Preheat the electric baking pan for five minutes, put oil-absorbing paper on it, place the mooncakes on it, brush with a layer of egg liquid, cover with lid, simmer for five minutes, turn over and bake for another five minutes.
Ze Yu didn't stop until the mooncake crust became hard. He put the freshly baked mooncakes on a plate and brought it to the table.
"Is this the mooncake?" Ayumi was a little curious and stretched out her hand towards the mooncake, but was stopped by Ze Yu.
"Wait a while before eating. It's too hot now." Ze Yu explained with a smile.
The best state for enjoying mooncakes is warm, not too hot or too cold.
The mooncakes have just come out of the oven and are very hot. Ze Yu is going to wait until they are slightly cooler and warmer before giving them to everyone. "Yes." Everyone nodded.
After a few minutes, when the mooncakes had cooled down a little, everyone started eating.
Yuan Tai picked up a mooncake, took a bite, and then his eyes lit up and he exclaimed: "It's quite delicious."
After tasting the mooncakes made by Ze Yu, several other friends also started talking about it.
“It’s really delicious.”
“Isn’t that a bit too sweet?”
“I suggest adding some salt.”
“Can eel meat be added to mooncake fillings?”
Hearing your weird discussions, Ze Yu's expression became a little strange.
What kind of confusing statements are these?
Especially you, Yuanta.
Adding eel meat to mooncake filling? You're so smart, why don't you add Haagen-Dazs?
"Since everyone thinks these mooncakes are delicious, then you should cheer yourself up, because you also have to make mooncakes." Ze Yu resisted the urge to complain and smiled, "I think everyone should remember the method I used to make mooncakes just now, right?"
"This..." Yuantai and Mitsuhiko looked at each other in embarrassment.
It would be too difficult for these two boys to remember the steps of Ze Yu making mooncakes.
"I remember it!" Ayumi said happily.
"Me too." Hiroki smiled.
"Same." Huibara Ai said expressionlessly.
"I remember that too." Conan quickly followed suit.
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone looked towards Yuantai and Mitsuhiko.
In the entire Junior Detective Team, there are seven people, and you two are the only ones who haven't remembered the steps to make mooncakes?
It's really shameful, quit the group!
"Sorry, I have been watching carefully, but there are too many steps to make mooncakes." Guangyan gritted his teeth, smiled awkwardly, and explained: "I didn't remember all of them, only some of them."
"This is already great." Ze Yu quickly comforted him so that he wouldn't be too depressed.
Mitsuhiko's situation is the most normal level, and Ze Yu will not compare him with other friends.
Conan, Haibara Ai, and Hiroki are all geniuses. How could they not remember the steps of making mooncakes?
As for Ayumi, she is a girl after all, and she is more careful, so it is normal for her to remember the steps.
Mitsuhiko only remembered part of it, which is the normal level of a child.
Speaking of which, the one who really holds back is Yuan Tai.
Even though Yuantai is just a little fat boy, he is still very capable. He lived up to everyone's expectations and successfully lowered the average level of the entire Junior Detective Team.
If you ask Conan and the others to do something like this, they definitely won't be able to do it.
Only Yuanta can lower the level of the entire detective team so easily. No one else can do it.
So, in some ways, Yuantai can also be considered a genius.
"Sorry, I don't seem to remember anything." Yuan Tai said somewhat embarrassedly.
Ze Yu was somewhat helpless: "As expected."
"Just stand aside and watch how everyone makes mooncakes. After watching a few times, you will naturally learn it."
