Windy: The leisurely life of the village owner

After seeing Xu Hongmi nod, Xu Hongdou handed all the bags in his hand to Xu Hongmi.

Seeing this, Xu Hongmi took it gently and put it into a big bag.

Then, the two of them were about to turn around and leave the door of the utility room and walk towards the main house.

At this time, Xu Hongmi inadvertently looked up and saw Xie Linfeng in the corridor on the second floor.

"Eh? Ah Feng? Are you standing there watching the show? Why are you silent?"

When Xu Hongmi saw Xie Linfeng looking at the two of them curiously, she couldn't help but say hello softly!
  Hearing Xu Hongmi's inquiry, Xu Hongdou on the side also heard the sound and looked upstairs.

Hearing this, Xie Linfeng chuckled and said:

"I just got up. Didn't I just hear something moving downstairs, so I came over to take a look out of curiosity!"

"What are you... doing!"

Although he already knew the specific situation just now, Xie Linfeng still asked.

Hearing this, Xu Hongmi raised the bag in her hand and said with a smile:

"Hey, Hongdou prepared some local specialties for me to take home!"

"Dried mushrooms, right? You should really take some back home. You usually make soup or something. Put some in and it tastes really delicious!"

When Xie Linfeng heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle.

Xu Hongmi heard this and asked:

"I took away these big and small bags without the consent of your real owner. You shouldn't be unhappy, right?"

When Xie Linfeng heard this, he smiled and said:

"What real owner? These dried mushrooms were originally prepared for Anko!"

"These are all dried by Hongdou himself. I originally planned to accumulate more and then send them back."

"So, their real owner is Anko, so why should I be unhappy?"

"Besides, even if it's mine, Sister Hongmi, if you are leaving, it's normal to bring some souvenirs back. I shouldn't be so stingy!"

Hearing this, Xu Hongmi couldn't help but chuckle and said:
  "Okay, since you said so, I won't be polite!"

"By the way, I heard that the flower cakes here are very famous, so... you know!"

Good guy, Xu Hongmi clearly expresses the word "extending too much"!
  I even took a liking to the local specialty flower cake again!
  However, if it is anything else, Xie Linfeng really doesn’t have it here. But when it comes to flower cakes, it’s not that simple!
  It just so happens that the villa is harvesting rose petals these two days!

That happens to be the best material for making flower cakes.

Those food factories collect them and make them into flower cakes for sale.

So, it’s hard to say anything else. Xie Linfeng’s place is really not short of raw materials for flower cakes!
  However, Xie Linfeng himself is not proficient in the process of making flower cakes.

Therefore, if you want to make flower cakes, you may have to trouble the aunties in the village.

Coincidentally, the aunties in the village are helping to pick roses at the villa these two days, so it is easy to find them!
  Thinking of this, Xie Linfeng suddenly smiled and said:

"Okay, Sister Hongmi, do you want to eat flower cakes? It's easy. Wait for me to arrange it!"

With that said, Xie Linfeng took out his cell phone from his trouser pocket and began to prepare to call for help!
  Seeing Xie Linfeng's actions, it was obvious that Xu Hongmi was a little shocked!

Originally she was just talking, but the meaning of what she just said was mostly a joke.

However, no one expected that Xie Linfeng would actually take it seriously. It seemed like he was really planning to arrange it?
  So, Xu Hongmi quickly said:
  "Um... Ah Feng, I was just joking. Don't take it seriously. I heard that making flower cakes is quite troublesome!"

When Xie Linfeng heard this, he dialed Aunt Agui's phone and chuckled:

"It's okay, it's no trouble. The raw materials and everything are ready, so just follow my arrangements!"

While he was talking, the call was dialed, and then Aunt Agui's loud voice appeared on the other end of the phone:
  "Hey, is this Ah Feng? Why are you calling me? Is there something wrong?"

Hearing this, Xie Linfeng chuckled and said:

"Aunt Agui, are you at the villa now?"

Aunt Agui heard this and replied:

"Yes, Ah Feng and Baoping are all here in the flower field. Do you have anything to do with me?"

Hearing that several aunties were there, especially Aunt Baoping, Xie Linfeng suddenly smiled and said:
  "A few aunties are here, that's great!"

"Aunt Agui, please call all the aunties and come to the courtyard!"

"By the way, remember to bring a few pounds of fresh rose petals. I'm going to let you help make flower cakes!"

"You want to eat flower cake?"

When Aunt Agui heard this, she immediately smiled and said:
  "Okay, I'll call them here. It's a small courtyard, right? We'll be here soon!"

After saying that, Aunt Agui quickly hung up the phone, probably in a hurry to call someone!
  On Xie Linfeng's side, seeing Aunt Agui quickly hang up the phone, he shook his head helplessly.

This Aunt Agui has always been so arrogant. I originally wanted to ask about the situation over there!
  Forget it, let’s wait until they come over and ask again!

……

Putting away his phone, Xie Linfeng lowered his head and looked at the two women looking at him downstairs. Xie Linfeng chuckled and said:

"Aunt Agui and Aunt Feng will be here soon. Let's make flower cakes together later!"

"It's been a long time since I've had flower cakes made by myself. I just happened to make more this time. I asked Sister Hongmi to take some back so that my brother-in-law and the others can try our specialties!"

Seeing that the matter had come to this, Xu Hongmi gave up her intention of continuing to refuse and could only nod helplessly.

"Okay, you're welcome then. I just want to see how delicious the flower cakes made from your high-quality roses are!"

When Xie Linfeng heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said:

"Don't worry, Sister Hongmi, you get what you pay for. Since the high-quality roses from the villa can be sold at high prices, the flower cakes made will definitely not disappoint you!"

After saying that, Xie Linfeng looked at Xu Hongdou again and said:

"Hongdou, Auntie and the others will come over to make flower cakes later. Do you want to ask Nanxing and the others to come back to help?"

"There is strength in numbers. After all, it's getting late today, so why don't we call Nan Xing and the others?"

Hearing this, Xu Hongdou pondered for a moment, nodded and said:

"Okay, I'll notify Nannan and see if she's interested!"

"However, with her personality, she should be very interested in these things!"

Saying that, Xu Hongdou also took out his mobile phone and started to contact Chen Nanxing!

However, Xu Hongdou did not contact them in front of the two of them, and walked towards the kitchen while making video calls.

Seeing this, Xu Hongmi leaned her shoulders helplessly towards Xie Linfeng and muttered:

"What's there to avoid? It makes us want to hear it!"

After saying that, Xu Hongmi also turned around and walked towards the main house. It seemed that she was ready to put away the dried mushrooms in her hands first!

……

Soon, several aunts came to the small courtyard together, and Aunt Agui was holding a bag full of roses in her hand!
  As soon as he entered the door, Aunt Agui's signature loud voice rang out and said:
  "Ah Feng, Ah Feng! Where are you guys at home?"

Xie Linfeng was preparing flour in the kitchen storage room at this time. After hearing Aunt Agui's voice, he quickly agreed:
  "Here, I'm in the kitchen, Aunt Agui, you guys are here!"

With that said, Xie Linfeng carried a large bag of white noodles and walked out of the kitchen.

As soon as I walked to the corridor directly between the kitchen and the pantry, I saw several aunties already walking to the kitchen door.

Seeing several aunties, Xie Linfeng quickly took care of them and said:
  "Aunt Agui, Aunt Feng, and Aunt Baoping, you are all here!" Upon hearing this, Aunt Feng and Aunt Baoping smiled and nodded at Xie Linfeng.

Aunt Agui saw the white noodles in Xie Linfeng's hand and couldn't help but smile:
  "The flour is ready, let's start making it now?"

As he spoke, he took out a plastic basin from the shelf nearby and poured out the rose petals.

Hearing this, Xie Linfeng nodded and said with a smile:

"Okay, just hurry up, otherwise it will be dinner time later!"

As he spoke, he looked at the aunties and said:
  "I'll call Hongdou and the others, and they happen to be quite interested in the process of making flower cakes."

"Wait a minute, I'm afraid we need a few aunties to be teachers to guide us!"

"Are Anko and the others there too? That would be better, we can do it faster together!"

"I was thinking just now that with just a few of us, we have to make it at least until six or seven in the evening!"

"With the help of Anko and the others, it shouldn't take so much time!"

When Xie Linfeng heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said:
  "That's hard to say. Just don't blame them for being a helper later!"

"Who do you think would be a disservice?"

As soon as Xie Linfeng finished speaking, Chen Nanxing's somewhat dissatisfied tone came from outside the kitchen door!
  Then, he saw Chen Nanxing walking towards the kitchen with Xu Hongdou and Xu Hongmi.

"As for you, you haven't made flower cakes before. Just don't do anything wrong later!"

Xie Linfeng heard this and replied jokingly!

However, Chen Nanxing is not a character who admits defeat, but he retorted after hearing this:

"Who are you looking down on? Although we have never done it before, with Ben Guliang's intelligence, we will be able to learn and become proficient in it very quickly, okay?"

As he said that, Chen Nanxing looked at Xu Hongdou beside him and said:
  "Hongdou, please take care of your Xie Linfeng, he seems to look down on us!"

"Hey! I told you not to spread rumors for no reason. When did I say that I looked down on Sister Hongdou and Hongmi!"

"I... obviously just look down on you!"

"Xie Linfeng! You..."

When Chen Nanxing heard this, he was like a kitten with furry hair, ready to angrily yell at Xie Linfeng.

However, Xu Hongdou on the side had already left early and grabbed Chen Nanxing as expected, smiling helplessly:
  "Okay, let me tell you how old you two are combined. Why are you still so childish!"

Then, he glared at Xie Linfeng angrily and said:
  "And you, why are you teasing Nan Nan when you have nothing to do? Don't you know she can't help teasing you?"

Hearing Xu Hongdou's "discipline", Xie Linfeng smiled a little.

Only Chen Nanxing glanced at Xie Linfeng proudly, and then reacted:

"No, Hongdou, what are you talking about? Who can't help teasing you?"

"Also, you two are teasing me together!"

Seeing this, Xie Linfeng smiled softly and said:
  "Oh, you just found out?"

"Xie Linfeng! Xu Hongdou! I...I won't play with you anymore!"

Chen Nanxing said loudly, pretending to be a little broken.

Her performance made everyone burst into laughter!

……

After the joking, everyone got ready to get down to business.

Under the leadership of several aunties, everyone began to divide their work to do some preparation work such as cleaning and kneading noodles.

Afterwards, everyone performed their duties and officially started making flower cakes!

Not to mention, Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing have very strong learning abilities, and they quickly learned well.

But Xu Hongmi rarely does anything, so she doesn't learn as fast as the other two girls!

Moreover, her hands-on ability is not as good as the other two women, and she is a little clumsy.

Fortunately, there were a lot of people, and she was not the only one missing, so the production process was still not slow.

Around [-]:[-] in the afternoon, all the flower cakes were finished.

A total of one chopping board of flower cakes was made and placed neatly on the kitchen chopping board.

There are at least hundreds of them, each one the size of an egg.

This is still an original semi-finished product and needs to be baked before it can become a finished product.

There is an oven in the kitchen, and there are some spare ones in the storage room.

These are the rewards that Xie Linfeng signed in before, and he conveniently placed some in the kitchen and storage room.

So, this just came in handy, and then several ovens started working together.

Thanks to the busy work of Aunt Agui and the others, the first batch of flower cakes was soon freshly baked!

The freshly baked flower cake is very crispy and exudes an alluring fragrance.

This fragrance is mixed with the aroma of flour and roses, which is very attractive.

No, after the first batch of flower cakes came out of the pot, Xu Hongdou and the girls' eyes were fixed on the flower cakes on the table.

When Xie Linfeng saw this, he said in a funny voice:

"Be patient and let it cool down for a while before eating it. It doesn't seem to be steaming, but it is very hot when it comes out of the oven!"

When the three women heard this, they suppressed the saliva from flowing out from the corners of their mouths, and nodded gently to show that they already understood.

However, his eyes still looked at the flower cake on the table from time to time!
  Seeing this, Aunt Baoping on the side couldn't help but smile and said:

"Okay, you can pick it up with chopsticks and eat it, but eat slowly and be careful not to burn your mouth!"

After hearing Aunt Baoping's words, the three girls felt like they were being pardoned and hurriedly went to get the chopsticks.

The hurried look made the smiles on the lips of the aunts never stop!
  ……

Soon, the three girls took the chopsticks, each picked up a flower cake, and began to taste it carefully.

I took a small bite of the flower cake. The freshly baked flower cake was particularly crispy.

A rich aroma of bread, mixed with the fresh aroma of roses, pours into the tongue.

The three women narrowed their eyes in unison, with satisfied smiles on their faces.

Seeing this, Xie Linfeng asked a little funny:
  "How about this freshly baked flower cake? Does it taste good?"

When Chen Nanxing heard this, he also forgot Xie Linfeng's previous teasing and nodded repeatedly:

"It's delicious. It tastes much better than the flower cake I had in the village before!"

When Xu Hongmi and Xu Hongdou heard this, they nodded in agreement.

They were just busy tasting the flower cakes in their hands, and the two women didn't have time to reply.
