Once they understand the situation clearly, what is there to disagree with? The original intention of coming to Fuwang Farm was to help this group of young kids break the ice quickly.
What's more, he also wanted to buy a few pounds of vegetables when he left.
"An An, you will go with everyone to pick tea seeds tomorrow."
Zhou An pointed at herself, looked at her father, and asked in disbelief: "Ah? Do I want one too?"
Zhou Zheng nodded, "Yeah."
"No, Dad, I..."
Zhou Zheng glanced at her.
"I... can go. It's not impossible." Zhou An retracted his eye roll and muttered to himself, "I just don't know what interesting vlog to record recently, so I'll record picking tea seeds."
After all, she is also a well-known video blogger. She has run out of inspiration recently and cannot shoot anything related to the Chinese medicine clinic, so she just shoots some videos to record her life.
the next day.
Everyone in the house was gone, and they all packed up and went up the mountain to pick tea seeds.
Xu Qingzhi got up early as it was a rare moment of peace and quiet.
Yesterday, her father wanted to take a trip to make sesame oil, but Xu Qingzhi said that she wanted to make more sesame balls because there was too much sesame oil to eat. If she couldn't finish the sesame, she could pack it up and sell some on the Fuwang Farm's online store.
Xu Fuqiang thought it was a good idea, so he kept all the sesame seeds.
The black sesame seeds used to make sesame balls must be steamed and dried nine times. Such black sesame seeds do not taste greasy, and have the effects of nourishing blood and qi, and improving sleep.
It was impossible to use up so many black sesame seeds at once, so she only used some.
Xu Qingzhi had checked the weather these days in advance and found that they were all very sunny days.
In the morning, she washed and steamed the black sesame seeds. Since no one was around, she wanted to be lazy and let the paper man do it.
At noon, take advantage of the strong sunshine to spread out the black sesame seeds to dry.
Repeat this process nine times and it will take several days until the skin is tanned brown.
Black sesame seeds are produced in small quantities and do not take up much space when dried.
Instead, the tea seeds collected from the mountains occupied the eaves and walls of all the three villas.
There is strength in numbers. Not only Mu Mingqian and others were picking the fruits, but the farm's regular workers were also picking them.
All the tea seeds in the back mountain were picked in three days.
Two days later, I went to finish it again.
There are a lot of tea seeds that have fallen on the ground. If you pick them up again at this time, you can get more than a hundred pounds.
The skin of the tea seeds just picked is still fresh. Just put it by the wall and don't worry about it. After a period of time, the shell of the tea seeds will become soft.
When you have free time later, put the tea seeds in the sun on a sunny day to dry them. After three or four days, the shell of the tea seeds will crack.
While drying the tea seeds, Xu Qingzhi also tried to make black sesame balls successfully.
The black sesame seeds that have been steamed and dried nine times are squeezed into powder, mixed with honey collected from the back mountain, and then beaten continuously with a wooden pestle, rolled into balls, and wrapped one by one with tin foil.
It was my first time making them, so the quantity was not much. I counted them and there were about a hundred in total, which was not too few.
Everyone in the Xu family was given sesame balls.
Aunt Zhou, Lian Nan, and Xia Qin all got some. Aunt Liu and others who came to help dry the tea seeds also grabbed a handful and took away several.
Xia Qin exclaimed: "These black sesame balls taste delicious and are not greasy at all."
Zhou An nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, Qingzhi, the black sesame balls you made are really delicious. I want to eat another one."
Xu Qingzhi handed one over: "Two a day, more is not good."
Black sesame seeds were originally grown under the spiritual energy array, and were watered with diluted spiritual spring water. Two seeds are enough, too much will lead to deficiency, otherwise it will be too nourishing.
"Okay." Zhou An peeled the second one with relish.
The girl who had treated Aunt Liu's arm before said, "This nine-steamed and nine-dried black sesame can also be mixed with rice wine, and the effect is quite good."
So, Mu Mingqian, who hadn't tasted the second one yet, went into the house to look for rice wine.
Zhou Zheng, who suffers from baldness and wears a wig every day, has also grown some small strands of hair thanks to the honey sent by Qingzhi.
At this moment, he looked at the black sesame balls in his hand, and a gleam of light flashed in his turbid eyes.
"It just so happens that I haven't had rice wine for a long time, so I want to drink some."
He also went into the house.
Everyone present praised the black sesame balls for their delicious taste and said they wanted to eat them again.
If the boss hadn't told us that eating more than two sesame seeds a day is not good for our health, I'm afraid this big plate of black sesame seeds would have been eaten up long ago.
In the spiritual space, two little ones are tasting black sesame balls.
The big cat with no taboos said: "Meow~" Delicious, master.
The crow who loves chili peppers said: "Cack~" I think it would be better if some chili powder was added!
You do need to add something, but it certainly can’t be chili powder.
Xu Qingzhi thought that next time he could add some red dates, walnuts, etc., so that the taste would be richer.
But when is the next time...
Xu Qingzhi felt lazy and didn't want to move, so he took a few days off.
She used the talisman to send ten black sesame seeds to Huo Fengyan.
As for Wen Shanshan and Xia Wei, she will send them next time she makes it.
That night, Wen Shanshan sent a video.
"Ahhhh, Qingzhi, you made delicious black sesame balls, but I didn't get to eat them, woooo~"
"Damn it, Zhou An not only posted his live broadcast account and Moments, but also deliberately sent me a private message. This is too much!"
"Zhou An is just trying to covet me!"
Wen Shanshan accused Zhou An of inhumane behavior in the video.
Xu Qingzhi looked at the tea friends drinking tea beside him and said helplessly: "An An."
Zhou An moved his stool over and said to the other end of the video: "Hey, Wen Shanshan, why are you so stingy? You don't have anything delicious to eat in Kyoto. I eat the food from Fuwang Farm every day, and I can also eat the black sesame balls made by Qingzhi. Don't envy me too much!"
The more you talk, the more you deserve a beating.
"Zhou An, wait, I'll be there too!"
Zhou An hit the nail on the head: "Come on, come on, your company doesn't care about the new autumn clothes?"
"Hmph." Wen Shanshan ignored her and begged Qingzhi: "Qingzhi, please turn the video to yourself. I don't want to see her face."
"If you don't want to see my face, then I won't play with you anymore."
"I'm breaking up with you too."
Obviously, both of them are not young anymore, but when they start to argue, they probably look less than eight years old when put together.
Xu Qingzhi had no choice but to coax both sides, and finally agreed: "I will make black sesame balls again in two days, and I will send them to you when they are ready."
Wen Shanshan was finally satisfied: "Huhuhu, Qingzhi, I love you the most. I know that in your heart, I will always be the most important one."
Zhou An said, "This is the most important thing you've said to me. This may be the first time I know this."
"Zhou An!"
Xu Qingzhi quickly said a few words to comfort her and hung up the video.
She drank her tea and asked curiously, "No, how come you guys are so close all of a sudden?"
Zhou An: "We didn't get to know each other right away. It's been seven or eight months since I took you to the Lanyu Club last time. Since then, we've been hanging out together. When Weiwei comes back to Kyoto sometimes, we'll get together. You know, I'm a video blogger, and I don't have to go to work, so I have more free time than them. It's not fun to have too many men, so friends are more interesting and won't betray me, so I can kill time like this." (End of this chapter)
