Chapter 48 Sweet Osmanthus Lily Porridge
On the day of Mid-Autumn Festival, Jiang Xinyi got up very early. Because of her sweet porridge, Jiang Xinyi got up very excitedly at dawn. The whole family saw her showing up for breakfast on time, and they all put on incredible faces.

Although the breakfast is just porridge water with crushed brown rice and sweet potato leaves, the sweet potato leaves are no longer as soft and rotten as before, and the porridge water is full of greenery. Miss Jiang has been trained by Jiang Xinyi for a long time, and she also knows that food needs to be prepared beauty.

Jiang Xinyi didn't eat a few bites of breakfast, she was thinking about what kind of sweet porridge to cook, and happened to see the old osmanthus tree in the back of the yard blooming golden and brilliant, full of fragrance, blowing wildly in the wind, the little white flowers inlaid with gold Windward has a sweet smell.

Grandma Jiang makes sweet-scented osmanthus stuffed rice every year, but she doesn't eat it at home, and sells it during the Lantern Festival during the New Year's Eve. Jiang Xinyi pursed her lips and snickered, she knew what sweet porridge she should make.

"Miss~~"

Jiang Xinyi teased Jiang Da Niu to find out the sweet-scented osmanthus, and then went to Grandma Jiang to dig a big bowl of round-grained rice. Grandma Jiang was so angry that she slapped her several times, calling her a prodigal child.

He shouted and called Baiji to Dr. Li's house to beg for red dates and dried lilies.

Dr. Li heard that Jiang Xinyi was going to make new food again, so he immediately grabbed a lot of good red dates and lilies for Baiji, and spontaneously said that he came to Jiang's house to enjoy the moon at night, and was scolded by Grandma Li:
"Today, everyone's boss and Changshu are coming back from the town. Who goes to someone else's house for dinner during the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

"I didn't forget, so I just said it casually." Dr. Li choked suddenly, and even forgot his grandson in order to eat.

"You are just greedy. No matter how old you are, you are still like that wild cat." Grandma Jiang came out and stuffed a bag of oranges for Bai Ji.

"Hmph, you stinky old woman, I don't care about you when I get sweet porridge with Fatty." Seeing that Baiji was about to leave, Dr. Li hurriedly told Baiji to remember to leave a bowl for him.

"I like to eat and I can cook it myself!" Grandma Jiang laughed angrily seeing him like this.

"Everything you do is made of red dates and red beans. I'm tired of it even if you don't dislike it."

"I don't want to repair, today is the holiday, I won't quarrel with you, hurry up and move your pile of medicinal materials, I want to pray to God!"

Baiji didn't have time to listen to their quarrel. After taking the things back to Jiang's house, he told Jiang Xinyi that he wanted to go to town.

Jiang Xinyi was a little surprised, but thought that the boss might be going to contact the hidden pile. She had to be ignorant, so she readily agreed, and even led the donkey out to him.

"You go! By the way, buy another white porcelain cup and bowl. Tomorrow we can fill it with sweet porridge and send it to Mrs. Dong."

After Baiji left, Jiang Xinyi was busy with Miss Jiang's sweet porridge.

Remove the seeds of the red dates one by one, and then soak them with the dried lilies.

Cook porridge with japonica rice and red dates, boil the porridge to produce rice flowers, the skin of the red dates will be broken, and the porridge water will appear light pink, then put the soaked lily into it and cook together.

At this time, we have to draw firewood, and only use the low heat to cook the lily until it is soft and crispy, but it will not be soft, and the sweet-scented osmanthus is added in when the pot is finally cooked, and the room will be full of fragrance when it is stirred.

The key to this porridge is that the red dates have to be seeded, otherwise it will become bitter after a long time, and the order of adding ingredients and the heat should also be paid attention to.

As soon as the porridge came out of the oven, Jiang Xinyi couldn't bear the sweet smell, so why wait until night?Only after she traveled through time did she realize that sweets are rare. She was obviously not such a sweet eater before!
But no matter how noisy Jiang Xinyi made the freshly cooked sweet porridge, Grandma Jiang couldn't let her eat it first. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, you have to worship the heavens and the earth, you have to worship the ancestors, and you have to worship the moon mother at night. You have to get the good things first. Come and say goodbye.

A bowl of round-grained rice cooked a large pot of porridge, but Jiang Xinyi couldn't eat it, so he had to quarrel with Jiang Da Niu to bake green onion pancakes, and made a big pile of them.

At noon, Grandma Jiang asked Jiang Lao Er to send a stack of scallion pancakes and a few boiled eggs to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors. , the sweet porridge was too conspicuous, so I stayed at home and worshiped heaven and earth.

The Jiang Family Ancestral Temple worships three times a year, Chinese New Year, Tomb-sweeping Day, and Mid-Autumn Festival.

During Qingming Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, only offerings and no people are required, and the patriarchs can offer incense in a unified way. The whole village is dispatched during New Year's Eve worship.

After worshiping the ancestral hall, each family brought back the offerings. Jiang Laoer was walking back with his things, but was entangled by Aunt Qian, a famous villager who ate and drank.

"Shitou, your cake is really delicious. Didn't it mean that your family owed a lot of money? Why do you still eat cake?" Aunt Qian grabbed a piece of cake and stuffed it into her mouth. Can't help it.

"Who doesn't pray for something during the holidays, and always do something to the ancestors. It's meatless and meatless. It's not worth talking about by Mrs. Qian. I have to go back. The family is still waiting for dinner." Jiang Lao Er didn't want to let She will take it again.

Aunt Qian wanted to grab a second slice before she finished eating, but Jiang Laoer refused, turned around and left.

"Hey! Don't go! Anyway, if your mother-in-law won't come back, I'll help her eat her portion!"

When Jiang's second son heard Aunt Qian mention Zhang's, he paused, feeling even more irritable.

"I'm not talking about you. I heard that your mother-in-law is going back to her mother's house to remarry, do you know that?"

Aunt Qian took advantage of Jiang's second child being surprised by her words, quickly grabbed two more slices of pancakes, and stuffed them directly into her chest.

"Sister-in-law Qian, don't talk nonsense, my wife is not that kind of person!" Jiang Laoer was anxious, bent his arms, and hurried home with the cake in his arms.

"Who's talking nonsense? My wife is also from Changpo Village. I heard that someone went to her house yesterday to have a look. Does she have other daughters?"

Jiang Laoer became more and more exaggerated as he listened, and his footsteps became faster and faster, making Aunt Qian who was behind her anxious to catch up but couldn't catch up.

Holding his breath, he ran home, and before entering the courtyard, Jiang Laoer cleaned up his face.

After returning home, we ate scallion pancakes at noon, and drank a small bowl of sweet porridge together. The soft, glutinous and sweet taste made both adults and children smile. They have never eaten such sweet and soft porridge. , that lily is also a good thing I have never eaten, especially delicious.

Jiang Daomi was so happy that he ate it all over his mouth. Jiang Daomi had been depressed for several days because his mother was not at home, but he was also put away by the sweet porridge in an instant.
After taking it, he ate porridge with big mouthfuls, and even his hair was stained with porridge rice.

It was rare for Jiang Lao Er to touch the heads of the two children and wipe his mouth. Seeing the two children happy, his heart was like a pot of green plums, bitter and sour.

Everyone is reunited in the Mid-Autumn Festival, but only their family is missing one person, no, two people are missing.Thinking of Mrs. Zhang still carrying one in her arms but refusing to go back to Jiang's house, Jiang's second child is even worse.

Second Jiang knew how unreliable Sister-in-law Qian's mouth was, but it was true that Sister-in-law Qian's daughter-in-law was also from Changpo Village. Jiang Laoer couldn't completely convince himself of the saying that there were no waves without wind.
