"August 15th? Mid-Autumn Festival!" Liu Rui blurted out.
"My lord, I know it's the 15th of August today, but what's the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Qin Prajna asked.”
Liu Rui was also stunned. Qin Prajna didn't know about the Mid-Autumn Festival?! He suddenly remembered that although there had been customs such as offering sacrifices to the moon and admiring the moon since ancient times, it was not until the early years of the Tang Dynasty that the Mid-Autumn Festival came into being. The official Mid-Autumn Festival was also set on the 15th of August during the Northern Song Dynasty. Mooncakes were only popular during the Mid-Autumn Festival during the Northern Song Dynasty.
"Nothing, nothing!" Liu Rui smiled awkwardly.
Qin Prajna bowed slightly and left the hall of the stronghold. Liu Rui sat alone in the hall of the stronghold. He seemed to be in a daze, but he was actually feeling different.
Before he transmigrated, he would spend every August 15th with his parents and family at home. During this special festival, he thought of his parents and family on Earth.
Liu Rui suddenly stood up from his chair and strode out of the hall of the stronghold. He went straight to the kitchen in the back of the stronghold. Li Shishi and Xiahou Qingyi, who were cleaning up in the kitchen, were shocked by Liu Rui.
"Husband, why are you here?" Li Shishi asked.
Liu Rui smiled and said," Today is the 15th of August. The moon is so round. I want to make some snacks. Let's enjoy the moon tonight."”
"Brother Liu, you know how to make snacks?”Xiahou Qing Yi looked at Liu Rui with admiration. This was the first time she had met such a talented person. It was as if there was nothing in this world that he could not do.
"Husband, what do you want? Let me help you!" Teacher Li had fully displayed what a good wife and mother should do.
Liu Rui thought about it and said with a smile,""Alright, Shishi, you go and knead the dough. I'll mix the stuffing!”
"Good!" Li Shishi replied with a smile.
Xiahou Qing Yi came over and said,"Brother Liu, is there anything I can help you with?"”
"Yes, when it's done, you can come and try it!”Xiahou Qingyi was born in the County Governor's Manor and had been pampered since she was young. Liu Rui did not expect her to be of any help.
Liu Rui quickly found all kinds of ingredients and mixed them together to make the filling for the mooncake. At this time, Exemplary Lee had already mixed the noodles.
The two of them wrapped the filling in the dough. Liu Rui found a cylinder that was similar to the size of a mooncake and put the wrapped mooncake in it. He squeezed it into a round mooncake and then placed the mooncake in the oven to bake it.
Xiahou Qingyi couldn't join Liu Rui and Master Li in making mooncakes. She just stood there and waited for the mooncakes to come out so that she could taste them.
After two hours of hard work, the first batch of mooncakes from the Three Kingdoms period was successfully produced.
Liu Rui had just picked up the mooncake with a pair of tongs and placed it on the plate when Xiahou Qing Yi could not help but reach out her hand.
"It's so hot!" Xiahou Qingyi pouted and shook her hand that was scalded when she went to get the mooncake.
"Don't worry, eat it when it's a little cold!”Liu Rui said with a smile.
Then, he and Li Shishi continued to cook. Xiahou Qingyi looked at the mooncakes on the table. She had never seen such desserts before. She swallowed hard as she smelled the fragrance of the freshly baked mooncakes.
After dinner, Liu Rui brought Xiahou Qingyi, Master Li, and Qin Prajna outside. The maids had already placed the mooncakes, wine, and other snacks on the table.
Xiahou Qingyi, who had tasted the mooncake before, was immediately conquered by the taste of the mooncake. In her words, she had never tasted such delicious desserts before.
Liu Rui picked up a mooncake in his hand and took a light bite. All kinds of feelings surged into his heart. Before he transmigrated, every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the mooncakes given by his work unit and friends could not be finished. He could not throw them away. He hated them to death.
He didn't expect that after transmigrating, the mooncakes would taste so delicious today. Sitting next to Liu Rui, Li Shishi poured him a glass of wine. Qin Prajna and Xiahou Qingyi were both surprised by the deliciousness of the mooncakes. Perhaps only Li Shishi could feel the change in Liu Rui's mood.
Liu Rui picked up a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp. Looking at the moon in the sky, he couldn't help but say,"The moon is so round today!"
"Brother Liu, what's wrong?" Xiahou Qingyi and Qin Prajna also noticed the change in Liu Rui's mood. Liu Rui picked up a glass of wine and stood up to look at the full moon in the sky.
"When will the bright moon appear? I'll ask the blue sky with my wine." Liu Rui took a sip of wine and continued to shake his head."I wonder what year it is in the palace in the sky…”
Qin Prajna, Li Shishi, and Xiahou Qingyi sat there quietly, their eyes fixed on Liu Rui.
"There should be no hatred, why should it grow until the end?"
"People have joys and sorrows, and the moon has its ups and downs. This is something that is difficult to complete since ancient times."
"I hope we can live together for a long time!”
After reading the last sentence, Liu Rui also finished the wine in his cup.
After listening to Liu Ruiyin's poem, the three women fell silent.
Xiahou Qing Yi looked at Liu Rui differently.
She realized that Brother Liu's appearance had changed in her eyes.
When she looked at him, she would feel an indescribable longing and admiration in her heart. She only felt that every corner of his face attracted her attention.
Especially now, not only was he able to recite such a profound poem, but he was also elegant and handsome. Although he had never seen him use martial arts before, his subordinates were all good at martial arts, so he should not be bad either.
But…how could such a perfect person exist in this world? Xiahou Qingyi was a little dazed.
"What an excellent sentence. What a good sentence. There should be no hatred. Why should we grow to be round in the future?”Qin Prajna could not help but sigh.
The three women were all intoxicated by Liu Rui's "Shuidiao Letou". This scene made people's minds merge into the lyrics.
Although they did not know that today was the Mid-Autumn Festival, nor did they know the meaning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, they understood Liu Rui's words and the content of the poem. Poetry was the best way to reflect a person's state of mind, so they naturally understood Liu Rui's state of mind.
Xiahou Qingyi was completely convinced by Liu Rui's talent. She felt that there was really nothing in the world that he could not do, right?# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:011720195:21PM
