Seeing someone eating more wildly than him, Zhao Yunfeng felt a little at ease.
However, the fragrance between the lips and teeth was still so mellow that people couldn't help but savor it, so Zhao Yunfeng quickly lowered his head again.
All the students were extremely satisfied with their meal, and Xiao Nianzhi was also very happy showing off his noodles.
After eating noodles, Xiao Nianzhi tidied up and prepared to go back.
Xiao Zhou originally came here because he was worried about Xiao Nianzhi, but when he found Aunt Yu was there, he didn't say he would send them back.
Maybe it’s because it rained yesterday, and the air is a little cooler tonight, which feels a bit comfortable in summer.
After the master and apprentice returned home, they simply washed themselves and went back to their respective houses.
After Aunt Yu returned, she was not in a hurry to go to bed. Instead, she held the Tao Te Ching and walked back and forth a few times. She felt that she had almost digested it, and then went back to sleep.
Xiao Nianzhi got into the delicious kitchen and gained various experiences.
She doesn't have much experience left to reach level seven. It is estimated that she will be able to level up after just ten days and a half of fooling around.
I just don’t know what’s going on with the war in the northwest now. Has Guo Sixue already reached the border?
In the end, Xiao Nianzhi realized that no matter how much she thought about these problems, she could not help or solve any problems.
So, let’s sleep honestly.
The next day, it was still sunny.
After yesterday's scorching sun, most of the ground is now dry, and the ground will no longer be muddy.
Therefore, Xiao Nianzhi has to work in the fields today.
In fact, there is not much work. Some mature vegetables need to be picked in time, such as beans and roots.
Everything that can be blanched and dried needs to be processed, so that you can have vegetables to eat in winter.
Xiao Nianzhi followed Aunt Yu to work in the fields in the morning. After lunch, he went to the back mountain to pick sweet-scented osmanthus with Manager Qiu.
It rained the day before yesterday and a layer of rain fell on the ground. Xiao Nianzhi felt distressed just looking at it.
However, since no one has been here, you can also pick up those that have fallen on the ground, clean them, and dry them in the sun. Then, whether they are ground into powder for flavoring or used as dried osmanthus, they are all good. Therefore, Xiao Nianzhi is not going to waste it, so he will pick it up from the ground first!
Aunt Yu originally thought she was here for a leisurely vacation. When she saw Xiao Nianzhi picking it up, she thought about it and followed her.
Manager Qiu and the others don't know much about this either, so they just pick them off the trees every year.
On the ground?
No matter, anyway, this thing is just steamed cakes, and when students take exams, each person gives some away, which is a good meaning.
More?
No use, don’t care.
Now seeing that Master and Disciple Xiao Nianzhi had already begun to pick it up, Manager Qiu looked at each other and started to pick it up too.
When Yan Xingxuan came over, he saw a group of people, either squatting on the ground or bending over, picking osmanthus flowers under the fragrant osmanthus trees.
Yan Xingxuan:.
His breathing tightened subconsciously. He never expected that he would finally get away from everyone in the Taiyuan Hospital temporarily, and when he came to the academy to see Xiao Nianzhi, he would be faced with physical labor.
However, if you are with Xiao Nianzhi, it seems that even the physical work becomes sweeter.
He didn't take Yan Changxia with him today. The little girl played too crazy some time ago. Princess Kang thought she was tanned a lot and didn't let her run out.
Although Yan Changxia was pitiful and wanted to follow her out, Yan Xingxuan was cruel and came without her.
When he came this time, he brought Laishun and two guards.
When he saw that there was work, he immediately called out to them: "Go get the basket yourself and go to work quickly."
When Lai Shun took a look, he quickly went to pick up the basket and started picking it up.
Of course, I also took one for Yan Xingxuan by the way. The two guards were a step slower. After discussing, they decided to use one basket and pick it up on the left and right sides, which would be faster.
Xiao Nianzhi raised her head when she heard the voice and saw Yan Xingxuan walking towards her with the basket.
She stood up and smiled at Yan Xingxuan: "Brother."
The others were reminded by her voice and were about to stand up and salute when Yan Xingxuan waved his hand to go back: "It's okay, no need, I'm just here to take a look."
Hearing what he said, Manager Qiu and others looked at Aunt Yu and found that she was squatting back again, so they squatted back too.
Xiao Nianzhi was curious and asked in a low voice: "Brother, why are you here at this time? How is the experiment going at the hospital? Where is the little princess?"
Hearing Xiao Nianzhi's name for him and Yan Changxia, Yan Xingxuan felt a little sweet in his heart.
It’s different, it’s really different!
He is the elder brother. Yan Changxia is not here, and he does not even have a sister.
This subtle understanding made Yan Xingxuan's lips curl up uncontrollably. He tried hard to suppress his smile and nodded gently: "The hospital is still in progress, and Mrs. Wang won't let Mingyue leave the house.
, so I didn’t take her out."
Regarding the question of why he came here, Yan Xingxuan thought for a while and then whispered: "I'm just worried, so I want to come and have a look.
Because of my uneasiness, and also because of the secret longing in my heart.
So, here he comes.
However, it was difficult to say the next words, as he was afraid of scaring Xiao Nianzhi.
Hearing what he said, the tips of Xiao Nianzhi's ears were quietly dyed with a trace of micro-powder, but he remained calm and collected, his thin lips pursed slightly, and his voice was soft: "Thank you for your concern, brother, then let's pick up osmanthus flowers?"
Yan Xingxuan was still a little nervous at first, but when he saw that Xiao Nianzhi didn't ask any questions, he slowly let go of his worries and said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's pick it up."
This "we" sounds really nice. He likes to hear it and he also likes to say it.
A group of people picked and picked, and finally brought back several baskets of sweet-scented osmanthus.
Just like that, there are still many things that haven’t been picked yet.
Particularly high places are not easy to pick, so I guess they will need to be picked down in the end.
It is not easy to eat sweet-scented osmanthus raw. Most of the time, it is dried in the sun, boiled in water, or candied.
After returning, Xiao Nianzhi separated the ones picked from the tree and those picked from the ground.
If you pick it up on the ground, you need to wash it with water twice more to clean the sediment.
Osmanthus has many uses, the most classic one is probably osmanthus honey.
Because it uses a lot of sugar, it looks more precious.
The production methods of osmanthus honey also vary depending on the taste.
Of course, the more common method is actually candied method, which is a layer of osmanthus and a layer of sugar.
After cleaning and drying, the osmanthus flowers and sugar are spread into the jar alternately in layers, waiting for time, slowly intertwining and interacting with each other, and then pickled and flavored, and the osmanthus honey comes out.
Another option is to use rock sugar to cook it slowly.
Xiao Nianzhi felt that it was all sugar, and it didn’t matter whether your sugar was heavy or mine was light.
Therefore, she chose the first one, which was simpler and more convenient.
As long as the sweet-scented osmanthus is cleaned and there is enough sugar, it will be fine.
As for enough sugar, you only need to tell Yan Xingxuan and he will arrange it.
After arranging the candy, Yan Xingxuan said curiously: "Think about it, how are we going to eat the sweet-scented osmanthus?"
