There are so many things you can do with Osmanthus fragrans, but it just rained yesterday, so a lot of them may have fallen.
Thinking of this, Xiao Nianzhi felt a little pity.
Although it wasn't dark at the moment, the sweet-scented osmanthus tree was a little higher on the back hill, and no one was accompanying her. Aunt Yu would definitely not let her go that way when it was dark.
Xiao Nianzhi didn't mention it much, but Aunt Yu muttered: "Osmanthus cake is quite delicious."
Xiao Nianzhi also thinks it tastes good.
Osmanthus cake is also known as Guanghan cake. In ancient times, students often gave each other Guanghan cake, which means "Guanghan Gaojia".
Of course, there are also people who give osmanthus flowers to each other, which is taken from the meaning of "winners in the toad palace and titles on the gold list".
Just like in modern times, when their children take the college entrance examination, parents wear cheongsam, which means: to win the battle, it is all for good luck and auspicious meaning.
Fortunately this year, next year happens to be the triennial provincial examination. By then, osmanthus and Guanghan cake will definitely become best-sellers.
As the Spring Festival approaches, the capital will also see an influx of students.
When the time comes, you can make a small profit by selling imperial examination peripherals.
However, now that I am well-established, it is really difficult to get these part-time jobs, which is a pity when I think about it.
Manager Qiu heard Aunt Yu's muttering and said with a smile: "If Auntie wants to eat, and the weather is fine tomorrow, we can go over and get some."
Anyway, these things are the assets of the college. They are always produced and sold by themselves, and there is rarely any interference from outsiders.
Manager Qiu meant well. After Aunt Yu thanked her, they started studying what to eat for midnight snack.
If you don’t have dinner, you have to have a good late-night snack.
Everyone thought about it for a long time, but there was no result. Xiao Nianzhi thought about it for a while and asked tentatively: "How about some fresh meat wontons?"
If this thing had been packaged by someone else, Manager Qiu might have thought it was just average and not very good.
However, if it is Xiao Nian's bag weaving and other aspects...
After hearing this, Manager Qiu nodded hastily: "Okay, okay, but will it be too hard?"
That thing is not big, so it would be troublesome to wrap it up one by one.
In response, Xiao Nianzhi shook his head: "No, it's easy to deal with."
Xiao Nianzhi knows many ways to wrap wontons, whether they are large or small.
The small ones are just fooling around. Just pick a chopstick of meat inside, pinch it tightly, and then put it into the pot.
Although there is little meat, the skin is thin and the filling is fragrant, and the taste is very delicious.
After hearing Xiao Nianzhi say it was no trouble, Manager Qiu felt relieved and asked about the ingredients needed.
You know, it’s good to have pork. The meat from the front and rear legs is the best. For wontons, they need more lean meat and less fat meat, so that the meat can form into balls and taste good enough.
When Manager Qiu heard this, he quickly raised his hand and said, "I understand, I'll go down the mountain and have a look."
He also often does temporary purchases. If there are no corresponding shops, he can also go to some powerful dealers in the surrounding area.
Manager Qiu goes there often, and the face brush is quite useful.
Xiao Nianzhi did not come for dinner. This news was quickly known by the students.
Then, many students couldn't help but feel anxious: "Isn't Miss Xiao not coming today?"
"It's sunny! I want to eat, woohoo!"
"I really don't want to eat vegetarian noodles. They don't taste like anything. What should I eat?"
"Ask Brother Xiao!"
"He probably doesn't know either. He has been reading all day today and has never looked for Miss Xiao."
"What?! He's been reading all day? No, no, I won't go for supper, I'm going to study my books too!"
……
Foodies are all kinds of uneasy, and the king of scrolls will live and die.
Xiao Zhou didn't know that he had accidentally gotten involved with someone else.
At this time, he was talking to Zhang Huaiyuan, who came over on his own initiative.
Zhang Huaiyuan was naturally curious about whether Xiao Nianzhi would come: "Brother Xiao, will Miss Xiao come over for supper today?"
He actually has a bit of a problem with his mouth. He is used to eating good food, so if he is asked to eat pig food (crossed out)... ordinary food, he can't accept it.
So, I came here specifically to ask.
Xiao Zhou really didn't know, so when Zhang Huaiyuan asked, he shook his head: "I really don't know, I'm sorry, brother Huaiyuan."
Nowadays, they are not even crowned and have no first names, so they usually call each other by adding the word "brother" to their last name. If they are closer, they just use the other person's name and add the word "brother".
Hearing Xiao Zhou call him this way, Zhang Huaiyuan felt a little pleased: "Brother Xiao, you said..."
As soon as he said two words, Zhang Huaiyuan swallowed nervously and looked around again. They were sitting in front of the dormitory yard, and there were classmates reading not far away.
Zhang Huaiyuan was a little embarrassed and couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Do you think I have some fate with Miss Xiao?"
After hearing this, Xiao Zhou's heart suddenly rose, he looked at Zhang Huaiyuan warily, and asked puzzledly: "Brother Zhang, what does this mean?"
Brother Huaiyuan, who was still slightly close just now, now realizes that Zhang Huaiyuan seems to have no idea about Xiao Nianzhi, and Xiao Zhou has unilaterally distanced himself a little further.
Zhang Huaiyuan was naturally aware of this. Seeing Xiao Zhou like this, he became even more nervous: "Brother Xiao, keep your voice down, keep your voice down, I just want to ask, just ask."
Seeing that Xiao Zhou's expression was still tense, Zhang Huaiyuan had to give an example in a low voice: "Look, I look pretty good, and my family background should be good, right? I am also good at reading."
When it came to the last point, Zhang Huaiyuan puffed up his chest unconsciously, which showed that he was quite satisfied with his knowledge.
Xiao Zhou still looked at him warily.
The more Zhang Huaiyuan spoke, the more confident he became: "Look, I need to be talented, good-looking, and knowledgeable. I should be able to match Miss Xiao, right? Sir Si Ye, can you take a fancy to me?"<
/p>
Xiao Nianzhi is an orphan. Xiao Siye must be in charge of these major life events.
Upon hearing that Zhang Huaiyuan was indeed targeting his sister, Xiao Zhou's face immediately turned cold.
He had no intention of causing a breakdown in the relationship between his classmates, but Zhang Huaiyuan's move was really inappropriate. As an elder brother, Xiao Zhou couldn't ignore it, so he finally gritted his teeth and reminded the other person: "My sister is still in the period of filial piety."
Zhang Huaiyuan didn't take it seriously: "It's okay, just wait for three years."
"My sister is soft-tempered and simple-minded. She cannot handle the interpersonal relationships and trivial matters of your Zhang family."
"It doesn't matter. I told my mother that we should separate and live alone."
Xiao Zhou:?
Aren’t you afraid of having your legs broken and thrown out by Mr. Zhang?
Xiao Zhou was speechless for a while, and Zhang Huaiyuan also found that he started talking nonsense when he was out of control.
After he reacted, he smiled awkwardly: "Brother Xiao, don't get me wrong, I'm still a very filial person. I'm just saying, then..."
For the rest, I haven’t thought about how to make it round.
The problem is, Xiao Zhou is still looking at him, as if he wants to see how he wants to explain.
