Chapter 352 Hibiscus Cake

 It is not easy to deduce Liu Suqing’s address.

She didn't know her date of birth and only found her photo and date of birth on the Internet.

This information alone cannot calculate a person's specific location, so Jiang Li finally calculated with copper coins for a long time before he found a place.

Whether it's right or not depends on their luck.

The car carried them towards the south of the city until it reached a hill, and finally stopped at the foot of the hill.

The driver looked at the rugged mountain road in front of him and the huge trees on both sides, and turned around with an apologetic face.

"Madam, madam, there is no mountain road on this mountain. Cars can't drive up it. You may have to climb up it yourself."

"It's okay. You can go back first. You don't have to wait for us."

Jiang Li had expected it.

So before going out, she specially asked Lin Manru to change into a set of decent and comfortable clothes and shoes.

Fortunately, the mountain is not high and the terrain is not steep. In addition, the weather today is not bad. It is about to enter autumn. The sky is high and the air is crisp, which is very pleasant.

Jiang Li opened the car door and got out of the car, then stretched out his hand towards Lin Manru, "Mom, let's just exercise and relax."

"Okay."

Lin Manru also got out of the car happily.

It has been a long time since she went hiking alone with her daughter.

The last time was when she was little. At that time, she was still innocent and cute, clinging to her like a little tail all day long.

I don’t know what happened later, but such a cute little girl turned into a rebellious person.

Fortunately, now the sensible and well-behaved girl is back.

Lin Manru happily took her hand, her interest had never been so high, and the two walked and laughed along the way.

Even though it was a three-hour journey, I had a great time.

Near the top of the mountain, a small bamboo house was revealed.

The small bamboo house is very elegantly built, not big, but has everything. There is even a waterwheel at the door, which is running squeakingly.

A light-bodied woman wearing a long gown and shoulders draped over her shoulders bent over and stood in the small yard, carefully arranging the flowers in the yard.

Every gesture and gesture is elegant and leisurely.

Even though it was a little different from the photos on the Internet, Jiang Li recognized it at a glance. It was Liu Suqing.

She has aged a lot, her hair has turned white, and her face has some wrinkles, but her spirit is still full, and her eyes are full of glory that cannot be washed away by the years.

Soon, Liu Suqing also heard the noise. After raising his head and looking here, he suddenly showed a vigilant look.

"Who are you?"

Lin Manru quickly pulled Jiang Li and said: "Hello, Master Liu, my name is Lin Manru, and this is my daughter Jiang Li. We have known her name for a long time. She came here specially from the capital and wanted to visit you."

Liu Suqing subconsciously wanted to drive people away.

She could tell at a glance what the purpose of these people's coming was.

She also doesn't like to deal with outsiders, which is annoying.

But somehow, when her eyes touched the mud on Lin Manru's feet and the hand holding her daughter tightly, her heart suddenly moved.

After hesitating for a moment, she took off her gloves, lowered her eyelids and said, "Forget it, come in."

Lin Manru was ecstatic for a moment, but she still acted calmly, said "Hey" and then pulled Jiang Li into Liu Suqing's yard.

Only when I got closer did I realize that her yard was really quite big. It was filled with all kinds of flowers and plants, which were fragrant and made people feel relaxed and happy just by looking at them.

Liu Suqing walked to the wooden table, picked up the kettle on the table, took out three water glasses and poured some water.

"I don't usually come to this poor place. It's not easy for you to find this explanation. Sit down and drink a few sips of tea to quench your thirst."

Lin Manru was not polite and sat down opposite Liu Suqing openly.

This can't help but make Liu Suqing feel good about her.

She hates those people who obviously have great desires but are coy and coy on the outside.

This person named Lin Manru is quite generous.

Jiang Li also took a sip of the tea in front of him. After a while, his eyes were bright and he said slowly: "Is this pine needles boiled in mountain spring water?"

Liu Suqing finally showed a surprised expression at this moment.

Then she looked up and down at this extraordinary-looking girl.

"You are so young, but you know a lot about tea?"

Jiang Li put down his tea cup and smiled, "I have studied a little before, and I also like to read the "Tea Classic". When I have nothing to do, I like to cook something by myself."

Liu Suqing nodded, "It's not easy for young people today to be able to calm down and do this."

Jiang Li saw that Liu Suqing's attitude had softened a lot, and then he placed the box he had been carrying on the table.

"Ms. Liu, this is a gift that my mother and I brought to you. I hope you don't dislike it."

Liu Suqing's expression suddenly changed again.

She glanced at the box coldly, and then turned her head away in disgust.

"Take the things away, I don't need them. I'm not promising to help you by letting you drink tea here. I just see that you are so tired from climbing the mountain. It's better not to die here."

Jiang Li was not disappointed, he just pushed the box forward again.

"Ms. Liu, you misunderstood. What's in this box is not anything valuable, it's just some snacks made by my mother and I."

"You live in seclusion in the mountains and forests all year round and rarely taste things from the outside world. Although the pine needles soaked in the mountain spring water are fragrant, they have a sweet and bitter aftertaste. Paired with snacks, they are the icing on the cake."

Liu Suqing's tongue became dry after speaking.

What Jiang Li said is true.

She hasn't been down the mountain in almost a year. You can eat some meat here, but it's basically game meat with a strong smell.

The green vegetables are too bland.

This kind of sweet and soft snack is a rare find.

Liu Suqing moved her body and glanced at the box.

"What kind of snacks are inside?"

"It's hibiscus cake." Jiang Li said as he opened the box, "It contains caramel, honey and osmanthus, and it is also covered with a layer of soft white sugar. It is soft and not greasy. Ms. Liu can try it."

Liu Suqing took a bite of the cake handed over by Jiang Li.

It's really crispy and not greasy.

The sweetness of honey and osmanthus are well mixed together, and when you taste it carefully, there is a faint fragrance of lotus.

Take another sip of tea and your lips and teeth will be fragrant.

Liu Suqing was very satisfied with her meal, and finally took out a handkerchief to wipe her lips.

"You can both make tea and make pastries like this. You must be an unusual person. Tell me, why do you come to me?"

She could tell that this girl named Jiang Li was no mortal.

There must be something special about her.

Lin Manru's eyes lit up.

It is said that Lady Golden Needle has the worst temper. If she is willing to say this, does that mean she is letting go?

Lin Manru was so happy that she was about to take out the design drawings she had prepared in advance, but suddenly a rough male voice interrupted——

"Master Liu, I'm here again!"
