From the twelfth day of the eighth lunar month, Chen Afu began to lead the making of mooncakes in the small kitchen. She mainly set an example and watched over others.
There were also mooncakes in this era, all filled with five kinds of nuts. She led her staff to make fruit-filled mooncakes, duck egg yolk mooncakes, and mooncakes filled with beef and ham.
Once the mooncakes were made, eighty of them were sent to each of Capital Marquis Mansion, the Royal Rui Mansion, and the Luo's in Dingzhou. Additionally, Abbot Liao Chen and Marquis Chu in Lingyin Temple each received twenty boxes of vegetarian mooncakes.
On the fourteenth day, twenty mooncakes were separately sent to the families of Chen Shiying, Chen Shi, The Fus, The Lius, The Qins, and Chen Ming.
