Back to 80s: It's not easy to be a group favorite

Chapter 65 Sophora Bread

The days passed like water, and Li Shaoyun's sadness was gradually diluted by time.

There is a locust tree not far from Li's courtyard, and locust trees are slowly blooming these days.

Other families in the village that grow acacias also bloom one after another, and the whole village is filled with the sweet fragrance of acacias.

Li Shaoyun smelled the sweet fragrance, and felt that his saliva couldn't help it.

Sophora japonica is a good thing!

Whether it is eaten raw or cooked, it is delicious!

Especially when eating raw, pick it from the tree, put it in your mouth and chew it, it is sweet and fragrant.

She only ate it once and never forgot it.

So every time she went to school, she would stand under the big locust tree in the village and look up at it, drooling for a while.

Li Da expressed his incomprehension to his sister's behavior, isn't it the pagoda tree?What catches your eyes?

If you want to eat Sophora japonica, can't you just pick it?

Li Shaoyun was dissatisfied with the little brother's understatement, but then thought that climbing trees is not a strong point for boys?

On the weekend, Li Shaoyun took Li Da to pick Sophora japonica, and she planned to eat Sophora japonica cake today.

Li Da was not dissatisfied with his sister's instigation, on the contrary, he was very interested.

But here's the chance to climb a tree in a fair way!Usually, it is estimated that Li's father will hit him with a small bamboo stick.

Li Er also followed enthusiastically.

The three brothers and sisters did not go far, and picked them from the tree in front of their house.

Grandma Li and the two told the children, remember not to climb too high, to avoid danger, so let them go!

The rural areas are all rough and rough, and the behavior of climbing trees is basically not stopped.

Even if it is stopped, it cannot be stopped.Children's nature is to love to play and be naughty, how can they control it?
It is impossible to completely eradicate it, and it can only be better if you put it under your nose and watch it.

Li Shaoyun held the dustpan by himself, this will be the sophora japonica that was picked later.

Li Da traveled lightly and took nothing.Li Shaoyun originally wanted to get a stool, but Li Da stopped him. At such a height, he climbed up in no time. What kind of stool do you want!
As for Li Er, it's a no-brainer, and he can eat some Sophora japonica flowers while watching the excitement.

The three of them came to the tree, and Li Dasa went around and pulled one of the most flowering branches down, calling his sister to come over: "Pick this first!"

Li Shaoyun took the dustpan over, put it on the ground, and started picking.

While picking it, he said: "The flowers you pulled are all in bloom. Let's see if there are any half-bloomed or unbloomed ones. Let's pick some of them! If you want to eat Sophora japonica cakes, it's better not to be half-bloomed." !"

Li Da grabbed the branches, disgusted with his sister's demands: "You pick it first and then talk about it! Aren't half-bloomed and fully-bloomed acacia flowers?"

Li Shaoyun said: "What do you know, this is how you eat pagoda flower cakes, and the flavor bursts out when it's fully opened! It smells good, but it tastes different! This peanut is almost the same."

As he said, he picked up the one that was pleasing to the eye, and stuffed a small handful into his mouth: "Yeah, it's really good to eat raw!"

There is no air pollution these days, let alone any public hazards. It just rained a little two days ago, and the pagoda flowers on the trees are clean!
At this moment, the bees were also buzzing around the tree. Li Shaoyun carefully avoided the bees, picked another handful and handed it to the little brother: "Try it."

Li Da freed up a hand and picked a handful himself, "You eat yours, I have my own hands."

After taking a bite, he nodded, "It's really sweet! Let's pick more."

Over there, Li Er has already eaten by himself.

The three of them were satisfied with the meal, so they continued to work.

Li Da climbed up the tree, picked up the half-opened and unopened ones according to his sister's request, broke off a few more and threw them down.

After a while, I picked up a dustpan and filled it full, and a few people went home unsatisfied.

Grandma Li smiled when she saw the posture of the three brothers and sisters, "Are you planning to eat as much as you want?"

Li Shaoyun smiled and said: "Grandma, this is not much! After a while, there will be nothing left when the water is boiled!"

Grandma Li nodded, "What are you going to do?"

Li Shaoyun said: "I want to make Sophora japonica cake, do you like it?"

Grandma Li smacked her lips with nostalgia on her face, "Don't say that I really want to eat this! This is to eat this now, and I won't be able to eat it in a few days! It's the end of the season!"

There is no air pollution at the moment. The pagoda tree flowers on the tree are picked off and washed with a little water.Otherwise, Li Shaoyun and the others didn't even know how to wash it just now, and just stuffed it into their mouths and ate it.

Put water in the pot to boil, pour in the washed Sophora japonica, roll it and fish it out, not for too long.

Put it in cold water again, float it, take it out, and squeeze the excess water with your hands for later use.This is one more procedure than Yuqian cake.

Last time, Li Shaoyun washed the elm money cake and kneaded it directly.

Mix the flour into a thick paste, add salt and five-spice powder, and if you are more particular, you will add an egg or something, then add the blanched Sophora japonica flowers, and stir well.

Li Da helped to light the fire for his sister, and Li Shaoyun was in charge of spreading pancakes.

Heat the pan, put oil in it, wipe the pan with an oil wiper, and smooth out the oil.

The Li family's oil wiper is the wheat straw used in the oil mill in the village a few years ago.

This kind of wheat straw is the best oil grater because it is permeated with oil.

When you use it, just put a small amount of oil in the pot.Sometimes even without oil.

If it’s pancakes, which are not mushy like Sophora japonica cakes, just rub them with an oil grater, and the pot will be bright and shiny, so you don’t have to worry about the batter sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Compared with the oil wipes sold online in later generations, this kind of oil wiper is more environmentally friendly and easy to use.

It just doesn't look good, it's a bit dark, and people with cleanliness will probably find it dirty.

Li Shaoyun wiped the pot with an oil wiper, scooped out a spoonful of the sophora japonica paste, and poured it along the side of the pot into a palm-sized dough.

Use a spatula to flatten it slightly, and a pancake will do!
Repeat the operation several times, and there will be several Sophora japonica cakes in the pot.

Wait for the cake to set, turn over and continue baking.Going back and forth several times, it doesn't take too long, the golden and fragrant Sophora japonica cake is ready!

Li Er had been waiting on the side for a long time, watching his sister put the Sophora japonica cake on a plate, and shouted greedily: "Sister, I want to eat it!"

Li Shaoyun patted the hand he couldn't wait to reach out, "What's the rush! Let it cool before eating!"

He took another plate and filled it with a few pieces, and handed it to Li Er: "Take this to grandma."

Li Er reluctantly looked at the remaining pieces on the plate, "Okay!"

In the main room, Grandma Li and the old couple watched the little grandson come in with a plate, and smiled happily: "Hey! Will it be ready so soon?"

Li Er nodded his head, "Yeah, Grandpa and you, hurry up and try it, it's delicious!"

Grandma Li nodded his little nose, "You little greedy cat, your eyes shine when you talk about food, have you ever eaten?"

Li Er shook his head, "Not yet! My sister asked me to bring it to you first."

Grandma Li smiled with satisfaction, "Look, your sister is still sensible, right? You have to learn from her!"

Li Er nodded seriously, "Yeah, I know, grandma."

　Thank you all for your votes.
