Chapter 215 This is not scientific
Hearing Uncle Wang's words, Grandma Mo was stunned.
Since their last unpleasant parting, the couple has never come to the old house, and they haven't even called to say hello.
She thought they wouldn't come over for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
"Let them come over so they can try the freshly baked mooncakes."
As he spoke, he picked up the mooncake and put it into his mouth, took a light taste, then frowned deeply.
Bitter, too bitter.
The extreme bitterness lingers on the tongue, accompanied by a chewy taste.
Grandma Mo looked at the mooncake in her hand and found that it was really burnt.
She thought that this was what chocolate mooncakes looked like after being baked.
Ruan Tang noticed her expression and asked, "Grandma, what's wrong? Are the mooncakes not delicious?"
"It's... it's okay, but grandma remembered that the doctor had told me to eat less sweets recently, so this mooncake grandma..."
"It's okay, grandma. I reduced the sugar content in this mooncake and only put half the sugar in it."
No wonder it’s so bitter, it turns out there’s not enough sugar.
“Chocolate is sweet too.”
"It uses 100 percent dark chocolate, not sweet."
Oh, and a pot of chocolate.
"Grandma has bad teeth. The mooncake is so thick that she can't bite it."
"Don't worry, grandma. I made lava chocolate, so it's soft inside."
Grandma Mo: ...
What to do when he couldn't find an excuse? He looked to his eldest grandson for help.
Seeing the embarrassed expression on his grandmother's face, Mo Jinchen couldn't bear to see the old lady suffer.
"The doctor also told grandma to eat lighter food. Mooncakes contain butter, cream, and peanut oil, and she was told that they were too greasy."
"Is that so..." Ruan Tang showed a disappointed expression, "I should have made mushroom and ham stuffing earlier."
"Maybe next time, let's do it during the Mid-Autumn Festival next year..."
Grandma Mo and Mo Jinchen looked at each other and unanimously decided to make Ruan Tang give up the idea of cooking by himself next year.
While they were talking, Mo Zongbao and Qin Shumin walked in.
"Mom, we are here."
Grandma Mo nodded.
Mo Jinchen and Ruan Tang also stood up and greeted the two.
"Hello, Uncle and Aunt."
Qin Shumin glanced at Ruan Tang with disdain in her heart. He hadn't even stepped into the Mo family's door, but this second uncle and second aunt were calling him so attentively. How shameless.
But she was not stupid after all. Although she was unhappy, she still smiled and replied: "Ruan Tang, long time no see. I heard that you went to film a movie. You are so busy but you still rushed over!"
The subtext is that Ruan Tang has refused to film any dramas and is rushing to curry favor with the old lady.
Ruan Tang smiled and said, "Second Aunt, you are joking. No matter how busy you are, you are not as busy as Second Uncle and Second Aunt. You two can spare the time, so why can't I?"
Qin Shumin's face froze. Everyone knew that Mo Zongbao was just a figurehead in the company, relying on the little dividends from his shares.
To say that they are busy is simply a mockery of them.
Qin Shumin's face immediately darkened, but Mo Zongbao was still tactless and raised his chin with a smug look on his face.
"Of course. Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, and the family should be together. No matter how busy you are, you must take time to spend time with mom."
"Oh, really? I thought my second uncle was so busy playing golf and fishing on a yacht that he didn't have time to visit grandma."
Mo Jinchen said calmly.
Mo Zongbao's face froze after being exposed by his own nephew. "How...how could it be, I was just discussing cooperation."
Haha, with Mo Zongbao's ability, it's good enough that he didn't get cheated, let alone talk about cooperation.
If Mo Zongbao's ability had not been so poor, Grandma Mo would not have gone against the crowd and promoted the young Mo Jinchen to the position of head of the family after the eldest brother and his wife died in a car accident.
Now it seems that her decision was right.
If I really hand over the Mohist school to my second son, I'm afraid that hundreds of years of Mohist school's foundation will be destroyed by him.
Under the gaze of Mo Jinchen's calm and deep black eyes, Mo Zongbao's shoulders gradually slumped, his eyes fell on the coffee table, and he quickly changed the subject, "Mom, are you eating mooncakes?"
Looking at her husband who had admitted his cowardice, Qin Shumin pinched her palms, feeling very disappointed in him.
Grandma Mo took in the expressions of both men, and her brows turned cold.
"Yes, this mooncake is made by us. It's fresh out of the oven, so we'd like to try it. Since you guys are here, why don't you try it too?"
As he said this, he winked at Uncle Wang.
Uncle Wang immediately told the servant next to him to go to the kitchen and bring over two more servings of snacks.
Mo Zongbao and Qin Shumin had gotten the upper hand and sat down on the sofa.
The servant quickly brought up mooncakes and black tea and placed them in front of the two.
Mo Zongbao looked at the mooncakes and asked curiously, "Mom, the mooncakes can be made in the kitchen. Why did you think of cooking them yourself?"
"Making mooncakes yourself is more of a ritual."
"But this is rough work..."
Seeing the old lady's face gloomy, she said nothing.
Qin Shumin quickly poked her husband's waist with her arm and said, "Mom, your mooncakes are so beautiful, and the patterns on them are so delicate."
Faced with this extremely deliberate flattery, the old lady sneered, "The pattern is beautiful, that's because the chef chose a good mold."
Qin Shumin's face froze, and she quickly picked up the knife and fork, cut a small piece and put it in her mouth.
“The taste is also…”
After chewing it for a few times, I couldn't utter the word "very good".
She frowned, picked up the black tea beside her, and without caring about the burn, she quickly took a sip to filter out the bitterness in her mouth.
Oh my god, what kind of mooncake is this? It’s bitter and greasy, and has a burnt smell. It’s so disgusting.
I saw her squinting and frowning, with a painful expression on her face.
Ruan Tang looked disappointed: "Is it unpalatable?"
Although he asked this, there was still anticipation in his eyes.
Qin Shumin was about to retort him, of course it was unpalatable.
But the old lady sitting next to him could only smile and say, "It's okay, just a little bitter."
Ruan Tang reflected, "Maybe there's not enough sugar. If you cut more, there will be chocolate inside, and it won't be bitter when you dip it in."
"Really? Then I'll try..."
Qin Shumin didn't want to try it at all, but seeing that the old lady and Mo Jinchen were looking at her, she didn't have the courage to refuse.
So I gritted my teeth and cut it, and sure enough, thick chocolate sauce flowed out like magma, which looked quite appetizing.
Qin Shumin's brows relaxed, she picked up a piece with a fork and put it into her mouth.
Then his face changed drastically.
Oh my god, it’s so oily, so greasy, and so bitter, as if I swallowed a piece of mud in my mouth.
This time she didn't even wait to filter it through the tea. She directly pulled out a tissue on the coffee table and spit it out.
"You're exaggerating. Is it really that unpalatable?"
Ruan Tang's moist cherry lips were pursed into a straight line.
He clearly made it according to the video, but he adjusted the sugar ratio a little to make it healthier. The temperature and time were obviously correct!
Qin Shumin lost her temper and said, "You will know after you take a bite."
Ruan Tangcai didn't believe that his cooking skills were so bad, so he immediately picked up his mooncake and took a bite.
Then, the delicate eyebrows twisted.
Wow, he clearly followed the recipe, why does it taste so bad and it’s burnt, this is unscientific!
