When I was younger, I was told that the lotus paste was expensive. It took a lot of lotus seed to make that paste and the skill was hard etc etc...
And in the old days, when people had less money (relative to moon cake's price), they paid those famous restaurants/bakeries monthly so that they would be guaranteed the mooncakes when the festival arrived, and it would cost them less overall, especially when they bought 20-30 boxes in the old days to give to relatives. It was considered a polite gesture (I don't know how to term it) to give a box to your relative/co-worker/school bus driver/etc etc...

Yeah! i remembered when i was a little kid, my grandmother was a member of those mooncake clubs where she paid monthly. and every year when the time comes, she gets hundreds of boxes, filled up floor to ceiling in a decent sized closet. and she just gave them out to relatives and to the people who work for my grandfather.
