Nongmen Rice Flower Fragrance

Chapter 38 Osmanthus Cake

It seems that every day is very long when you are busy, but in fact, time has quietly passed by before you know it.

Wu Feitu left, time passed, and time has entered August.

Guizi falls in the middle of the moon, and the fragrance of the sky floats outside.

Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the old Osmanthus osmanthus tree in Osmanthus Village has already begun to bloom, and the fragrance permeates the whole village.Even though Li Xin's house is far away, there is always the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus brought by the wind.Smelling it not close, the smell is not strong, a faint wisp floating in the air, it is refreshing.

It is said that Jiangnan has Sanqiu osmanthus and ten-mile lotus. Simple sentences, but already make people yearn for it. This is the magic of Jiangnan!The prosperity of Jiangnan has existed since ancient times. Fertile soil, suitable climate, and developed transportation are all factors that have made Jiangnan prosperous since ancient times.There is a lot of water in the south of the Yangtze River, so the water and land transportation is very developed. The outside is the sea, and the various rivers inside are also criss-crossing.

The southeast is prosperous, the three Wu cities, and Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times.Smoked willows and painted bridges, wind curtains and emerald curtains, there are 10 families.Cloud trees surround the embankment and sand.The raging waves roll with frost and snow, and there is no limit to the moat.The market is full of pearls, and the households are full of Luo Qi and compete for luxury.

The heavy lake stacks Qingjia.There are three autumn osmanthus, ten miles of lotus.Qiangguan clears the sky, sings the night, frolicking and fishing for the old lotus baby.Qianqi embraces Gaoya.Drunk, listen to the flute and drums, chant the haze.The next day will have a good picture, and I will return to Fengchi to boast.

Liu Yong's "Wang Hai Tide" can be said to describe the prosperous scenes in the south of the Yangtze River. No wonder some people say that the Jin people invaded the Song Dynasty precisely because of Liu Yong's "Wang Hai Tide".Although this is not the history that Li Xin is familiar with, but I think there is something in common!She really wanted to go out and walk around and take a look at the bustling scene here.

It has been more than half a year since she came to this world, and she has also read some books. The words in the books are strangely the same as the words she is familiar with, but this is not any place she knows.Not that previous life, not any dynasty in those familiar histories.This is a place called Tianchen Dynasty, the capital is Jiankang.She remembered that in the history of her previous life, Jiankang in ancient times was Nanjing, but she didn't know whether Jiankang here was equivalent to Nanjing.

However, Jiankang here is also in the south, and the book describes it as very prosperous. Maybe if you have time, you can really go for a walk.

Speaking of it, this dynasty is also very strange. It seems that the geography of this country is still very vast, with its own characteristics in the east, west, north and south.However, it is wonderful to establish a capital in the south. It seems that in history, the dynasties that established their capitals in the south were all short-lived dynasties!Or it is only in the Jiangnan part of the country.The Southern Dynasties of the Southern and Northern Dynasties were very short-lived. Although Nanjing is said to be the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, in fact it did not add up to a long time as the capital.Then the Southern Tang Dynasty was also a short-lived dynasty, and after that, the Southern Song Dynasty was more than a hundred years old, which is only half of the country.

The initial capital of the Ming Dynasty was also in Nanjing, but the capital was moved to Beijing when Ming Chengzu reigned.Speaking of it, the capital in the south is still too biased, and it is not easy to govern the whole country.

One day, when Li Xin came back from the field, he glanced at the old osmanthus tree from a distance.It is true that a lot of flowers have bloomed, the leaves are green, red and orange, and they look very beautiful.The tiny flowers are dotted between the branches and leaves, which will not be too obvious, but will not be completely submerged.

"Dark, light luteal and soft in nature, the scent is far away and only the fragrance remains. Why do you need light blue and light red, it is the first-class flower." Li Yi'an's words are a good portrayal of sweet-scented osmanthus.

Looking at the sweet-scented osmanthus trees, Li Xin thought of the delicious sweet-scented osmanthus cake.In fact, as long as you marinate sweet-scented osmanthus, you can make osmanthus cake at any time, but it seems that only the mid-autumn season is the most suitable time!The moon is on the treetops, and the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers are blooming all over the tree. Eating osmanthus cakes seems to be a very beautiful thing.

The next day, Li Xin took a wooden basin and took Yuexiang to the village to pick sweet-scented osmanthus.There are many people who come to pick sweet-scented osmanthus in this season. People from the village will come to pick osmanthus, and people from surrounding villages and towns will also come here admiringly.Generally, people in the village are allowed to pick a little flowers, but they are not allowed to harm the tree.

The sisters came early, and no one came to pick them at this time.In fact, picking sweet-scented osmanthus is generally made into sachets and the like, and people in the village don't pick them very much, but some little girls like it, and they come to pick some occasionally.In the early morning, the sweet-scented osmanthus is still covered with a little dew, which looks even more beautiful.Both of them moved higher stools, and they could reach the branches by standing on the stools.

After picking a wooden pot of sweet-scented osmanthus, Li Xin returned home with the fragrance of the moon.The family usually bought a lot of white sugar to eat, so the sugar is a little bit.Wash the sweet-scented osmanthus and let it dry for a while, then marinate a layer of sweet-scented osmanthus and a layer of sugar into the jar.After marinating for a while, the sweet-scented osmanthus candy can also be eaten.

The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Xin took Yuexiang to make osmanthus cakes. Now that Yueting has a puppy to play with, she doesn't bother Yuexiang much. some hands.The two of them started to make a lot of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes.Taste a piece, it is sweet and refreshing, delicate and slag-like, and rich in cinnamon.

Early in the morning on Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Xin took Yuexiang and Yueting to the town.Wenbo and Wenhao are also on holiday during the Mid-Autumn Festival. After school yesterday afternoon, it is counted as a holiday, and today they can rest for a whole day.Seeing Li Xin coming with his two younger sisters, the two brothers were also very happy.Now we don't see each other every day like before, but when we meet, we get closer.Yuexiang brought the puppy, and Wen Hao took her to play with the puppy.

After sitting at home for a while, Li Xin took a few younger siblings out for shopping. Today was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there were many moon cakes for sale on the street.Knowing that there are all kinds of moon cakes for sale on the street, Li Xin didn't make them himself, but brought his younger siblings to buy some.When they got to the street, the siblings went to Pinxiang Pavilion first.Li Xin brought some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes to shopkeeper Sun, and he is considered acquaintance, so let's give some holiday gifts!

As for mooncakes, Shopkeeper Sun must have received a lot on such a day, so she didn't buy them.

Although it is Mid-Autumn Festival, Pinxiang Pavilion is still open.As soon as Li Xin entered the door, he happened to meet shopkeeper Sun.

"Miss Li came at the right time. Even if you don't come today, I also want to find you tomorrow. Let's talk in the private room!" Shopkeeper Sun greeted Li Xin and his siblings to go upstairs with a smile.Li Xin thought, maybe there is news about those potted plants.It's been more than a month, and it's time for news.

If it can't be sold any longer, how can there be any ornamental value!
