Shandong University This year we will continue to distribute mooncakes to students for free. On the afternoon of September 18, at the entrance of the Qiyuan restaurant on the central campus of Shandong University, graduate students from various colleges were receiving moon cakes. It is reported that the moon cakes for undergraduates were distributed in the morning of the same day.
On the morning of the 18th, the reporter came to the mooncake making room of Qiyuan Restaurant on the Central Campus. Zhou Mingming and other staff were making mooncakes in an orderly manner. Some of them make fillings, some use molds to shape them, and some brush the egg liquid and honey, and push the mooncakes into the oven after they are finished... Zhou Mingming said that this year is relatively full, and they will start making them in August. So far, they have produced more than 60,000 moon cakes with various fillings. There are red wine cranberry, golden sand custard, fine coconut paste, lotus paste egg yolk, satay beef, five-nut stuffing, etc., and the variety is very rich.
However, the reporter learned that although pastry workers have made mooncakes with a variety of fillings, the school still distributed five-core mooncakes to students for free this year. What is the reason for this? Zhao Long, director of the Food Service Management Center of Shandong University, explained that there are no preservatives, no additives, or even a drop of water during the production of Wuren mooncakes, which is more storage-resistant. If students don’t eat that day, it won’t go bad if they leave it for a few days. "We pay attention to some students who are reluctant to eat moon cakes after they receive them, and wait to take them home during the holiday to share with their families. This requires moon cakes to be able to live in. Wuren moon cakes are the most suitable."
Mooncakes smashed walnuts, Zhao Long said with a smile, this may be a way for students to love the school and express it through ridicule. However, he also explained that since last year’s mooncake orders came in a rush, they were sent to the students immediately after they were made. There was no time for to return the oil , so the hardness was relatively high. After the Cantonese-style mooncake is made, it usually takes two to three days to return the oil before it becomes soft. In order to prevent mooncakes from "smashing walnuts", the school started making mooncakes one month in advance this year, leaving enough time for oil return.A student from Youshan University told reporters that the mooncakes received this year were indeed softer than last year, and they tasted softer. Some students also joked, “The mooncakes distributed by the school this year can’t be smashed into walnuts. The wood is the soul...”
Not only continued to distribute mooncakes for free, but also this year, Shanda University also set up special mooncake sales windows in the canteens of the first school and three places for students. Make your own choice. Li Shilin, a freshman at the School of Physics of Shandong University, bought four mentions and prepared to send them back to his hometown. Chen Jianye, a freshman of Grade 2021 majoring in Shandong University of Electrical Engineering, is from Jinhua, Zhejiang. Chen Jianye said that although parents can also eat moon cakes in their hometowns, Shanda moon cakes are more memorable.
It is also understood that all campuses of Shandong University have the ability to make mooncakes this year, and there is no longer a need to transport them from Jinan to Weihai.
