Chapter 640 Osmanthus, glutinous rice and lotus root

After chatting for a while, Bai Shitang got up and went home.

Zeng Zhengye originally thought it was still early and wanted to stay with Bai Shitang, but after thinking about what Bai Shitang said just now, he gave up the idea and only sent Bai Shitang out of the yard.

Covered in moonlight, when Bai Shitang returned home, he saw Su Mulan still in the yard, taking a ladle to scoop water from the water tank.

 Bai Shitang walked over quickly, took the water ladle from Su Mulan's hand, and helped her scoop water, "Why aren't you sleeping now?"

 Normally, Su Mulan goes to bed very early.

Even if I don't sleep, I'm already lying in bed and reading a novel leisurely.

“Fetch some water and prepare to soak the glutinous rice in it, and prepare to make some sweet-scented osmanthus sugared lotus root to eat tomorrow morning.”

The Mid-Autumn Festival will be in two days, and the county schools are on holiday. Baimi Dou has come back these two days, and Gu Yunxi has also been staying at home for the past two days, and will not go home until the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Su Mulan thought that while the children were here, she would try her best to make more delicious food for the children.

Osmanthus sugared lotus root is sweet, fragrant and glutinous, but you will never get tired of it. The key lies in the glutinous rice inside the lotus root.

 Soak the rice overnight in advance to absorb the water, so that when it is poured into the lotus root and steamed in a pot, the rice will be softer and glutinous, and the taste will be better.

"I'll do it." Bai Shitang scooped up the water, then went into the kitchen to find the glutinous rice. He soaked the glutinous rice in according to the amount Su Mulan said, and covered it with a bamboo woven with fine holes. Sieve to prevent anything from falling into the basin.

"There is an osmanthus tree at the entrance of the ancestral hall. Since you are going to make osmanthus candied lotus root tomorrow, I will pick fresh osmanthus flowers when you get up in the morning." Bai Shitang said.

There is osmanthus honey in sappanth. Once the glutinous rice lotus root is steamed, just pour the osmanthus honey over it. However, if it is garnished with fresh osmanthus, it will add color to the whole dish.

She was originally thinking about whether to pick it, but now that Bai Shitang brought it up, Su Mulan nodded, "Then I'll take the trouble to go there."

"It should be." Bai Shitang smiled and looked at Su Mulan.

 Seeing that Bai Shitang refused to look away, Su Mulan felt a little embarrassed to be looked at, so she just coughed lightly and said, "Then I'll go to bed first."

"Oh, okay." Bai Shitang realized that he had been rude just now, and hurriedly found an excuse, "Well, you seem to have some dirt on your face." "Is there any?" Su Mulan subconsciously wiped both cheeks. .

"It's already fallen." Bai Shitang said again, "It's getting late, go to bed quickly."

Tomorrow I have to get up early to make sweet-scented osmanthus, glutinous rice and lotus root.

Su Mulan nodded and went into the house.

 Bai Shitang tidied up and went to bed.

However, I tossed and turned, and still couldn't fall asleep. Finally, I got up and walked in my room for a while, until I felt very sleepy, then I went to bed and fell asleep in a daze.

The next morning, the children were awakened by the sweet aroma of osmanthus, glutinous rice and lotus root.

Get up quickly, wash up, and when I was sitting at the table, a hearty breakfast was already on the table.

Thousand-layer minced meat pancake, bean foam, a few cold side dishes, and then this fragrant and sweet-smelling sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice candied lotus root.

As soon as the adults moved their chopsticks, the children couldn't wait to pick up the food and put it in their mouths.

 “So sweet!”

"Delicious!"

 “It smells like osmanthus...”

 The children's admiration sounded in the yard.

 “What’s so delicious?” a male voice said faintly.
