Xu Tuqiang looked at the variety of breakfast items already filling the window, smelled the seemingly indistinguishable, yet slightly different, scent of the steamed white flour and wheat aroma from each basket, swallowed a few gulps of saliva, and then pointed at the most distinct one, the overwhelmingly fragrant coconut paste mooncake, asking in confusion: "Why are mooncakes out so early?"
"They're not fresh meat mooncakes, though."
Due to manpower shortage at the window, An Youyou, temporarily assigned to sell breakfast at the window, replied: "Because it's just over a month until Mid-Autumn Festival."
"Master Qin said Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and now is the season for coconuts, it's just right to make coconut paste mooncakes. Most of the breakfast items are savory, adding one or two sweet things balances the flavors sweet and savory."
