Until a year of Mid -Autumn Festival

■ Wei Fuchun

This year's Mid -Autumn Festival seems a bit "sudden" and a bit special -at the same time, it is Teacher's Day, which is naturally to celebrate.

The first thing I think of is moon cakes, Mid -Autumn Festival nights, when the moon is appreciating the moon, how can you have a moon cake. When considering what moon cakes were bought, a writer friend I was quite respected sent WeChat, saying that I had given me a courier, and also said that one of the boxes of "old incense" moon cakes were marinated with three years. The bergamot is hand -fried, with special fragrance and medicinal value, which cannot be bought in Shanghai.

The next morning, the moon cake arrived. Eating a delicious "old incense", I suddenly remembered my mother and felt that the moon cake she made is really the most delicious and delicious moon cake in the world!

Before the Mid -Autumn Festival every year, my mother gave me some pocket money and asked me to buy moon cakes to solve it, and her mother would not take a bite, she couldn't bear it. The moon cakes of that year were not high -end and particular, but they were also diverse. However, I did n’t buy a moon cake to eat, but I accumulated the money to read and buy a book. I like to read the villain's book. The earliest contact with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Water Margin was to watch a series of comics on the book stall in Nonggangkou.

The moon cakes in the food store are of course delicious, especially in the age when everything has to be supplied by tickets, belongs to the "luxury goods" category. However, I went to the door of the store again and again, but went back to the book stall not far away. It's not just the charm of a villain book, but also the main thing is that I have moon cakes to eat, that is, the moon cake made by my mother, hot and fragrant ...

Whenever the Mid -Autumn Festival is approaching, the mother is busy. At that time, his father was far away in a country. The mother bought flour, kneading dough, and making bean paste alone. Every time my mother makes moon cakes, I can eat it for ten days and a half months. Where can I go to buy moon cakes? The moon cakes at home are actually very simple, that is, wrap some white sugar or bean paste, and black ocean crispy in the dough, and then bake them on the iron pot. At that time, almost every family in the hall was like this, and the strong fragrance could be heard one after another. A group of our children ran to that family excitedly, and to see which moon cakes were cooked first, and then shared them together. Sometimes I sit next to the stove and listen to my mother's command to bake the moon cake. I can't wait to eat it! That joy and excitement, it is difficult for children to get it now. That day is gone. Now, who will go to a coal ball furnace to bake moon cakes? The only thing that is unchanged is that every Mid -Autumn Festival, people are holding the strong affection for the reunion of the family.
