Chapter 328 Sugar Osmanthus Rice Cake



Nowadays, anyone who can read tends to have very simple ideas.

Either you don’t want to go to the fields now, or you don’t want to go to the fields in the future.

So Fang Yuzhi understands her cousin very well.

There are two harvests every summer vacation.

The rice must be harvested before August and then the next crop of rice must be planted.

So time is very tight, and it's hot in the summer, so we are busy without stopping for a moment.

Although there are tillers in the village, the work is still very hard. Every day when the adults go out, they come back covered in sweat and are so tired that they don't even want to talk.

So, no one wants to go to the fields.

Fang Yuzhi thinks that it would be best if there were more farming machines in the future. It would be best if people were not needed, and sowing and harvesting could be done directly by machines.

After hearing what she said, almost everyone laughed at her for being too naive.

"You're really thinking of something, but there's no such thing as this!"

Only Hua Wanchi didn't refute. Instead, he said confidently with a very determined look: "It will definitely happen in the future. Maybe in ten years, or maybe in twenty years. Anyway, we will definitely see it."

Fang Yuzhi's eyes lit up immediately, and she looked at Hua Wanchi with admiration: "Wow, really? I hope I can see this day in the future!"

Hua Wanchi laughed and said, "Look, it's very different now than it was ten years ago. It will definitely be even more different ten years from now!"

These words made Fang Yuzhi believe it completely.

In her heart, Hua Wanchi is a very powerful person. It seems that there is nothing in this world that can stump Hua Wanchi. So what Hua Wanchi says will definitely come true.

Although this is the case, farmers still have a very hard life.

Although people praise farmers everywhere and say that farmers are great and without them there would be no food to eat, compared with the workers in the city, farmers are tired and poor.

Fang Yuzhi did not at all look down on her cousin Li Shuangshuang's simple wish because of the prediction that mechanization would be realized.

She still asked Hua Wanchi for a test paper as agreed.

It was a bit of a pity for Fang Yuzhi. It would have been better if Li Shuangshuang could have joined the tutoring class in Dafang Village so that she could have studied with everyone.

Unfortunately, Li Shuangshuang is not in Dafang Village, and the schedule in Dafang Village is very tight. The tutoring classes last until very late, which is not enough time for Li Shuangshuang to go back and forth.

Besides, Li Shuangshuang has to work at home, and her parents will not always allow her to go out and play with Fang Yuzhi.

Therefore, we can only use this roundabout method.

The first time Li Shuangshuang did the intensive test for the children in Dafang Village, she was successfully stumped.

She looked at the questions on the test paper with an embarrassed look on her face, reading them over and over again, and finally found that she couldn't even understand the questions, and her eyes were spinning.

She didn't finish a single question, put down her pen, and said helplessly, "What should I do? I don't know anything at all. Am I too stupid?"

Fang Yuzhi suddenly felt a strange sense of balance in her heart.

After all, when she and her friends in Dafang Village saw such a test paper for the first time, they also doubted their lives.

She couldn't help laughing and said, "Oh, that's not your problem. The first time I did this I was just like you, and I can do it now, right?"

"Really?" Li Shuangshuang was still very nervous. Could she really learn such a difficult question?

I am not as smart as my cousin.

"Really?" Fang Yuzhi knew what Li Shuangshuang was thinking as soon as she saw her expression.

After all, I had similar thoughts when I saw Hua Wanchi.

When facing powerful people, I always feel a little inferior.

She pointed to the first question and said, "Take this one for example. If I tell you how to do it, you will definitely know how to do it."

Then Fang Yuzhi explained each question to Li Shuangshuang one by one, and Li Shuangshuang understood some of the questions.

But she still had only a vague understanding of some of the questions.

It was actually difficult for Fang Yuzhi to describe the way she thought about solving the questions in her mind, which resulted in her being unable to explain some questions clearly to Li Shuangshuang.

Fang Yuzhi said to these questions, "Come and play with me on Sunday. I'll take you to see Chi Bao. She will definitely teach you. If she teaches you, you'll definitely understand."

Li Shuangshuang simply couldn't believe this sentence anymore.

So she nodded: "Okay!"

Sunday is a day of rest. Whether you are a student or a worker, you have a whole day off on this day every week.

Hua Ziqiang remembered what he said last time, that he wanted to use candied osmanthus to make pastries.

But every day is very busy. I have to prepare ingredients, boil the soup base, and then clean the utensils. All of these have to be done very early or very late.

I will go out to set up the stall during the day.

Apart from sleeping, the rest of the time is spent in busyness. Even with Hua Xiangfan's help, there is still no way to make pastries in the spare time.

Making pastries is also very time-consuming.

It happened to be another Sunday.

Hua Ziqiang decided to give himself and Hua Xiangfan a day off.

In fact, I made enough money, but when I thought that if I didn’t set up the stall for one day, I wouldn’t make any money for one day, it seemed like all the money was lost by me.

Hua Ziqiang felt distressed and was reluctant to rest.

On Saturday evening, after washing his tools, Hua Ziqiang said, "We won't be setting up the stall tomorrow. We can take a day off."

Hua Xiangfan looked at him in surprise: "Why don't you set up your stall? Tomorrow is Sunday, there will be a lot of people on the street, and business will be good."

Hua Ziqiang smiled and said, "They're resting, so we should rest too. Besides, during the break, I'll make some cakes for us to eat, isn't that good? If there are any leftovers, we can send them to school."

There is another reason why he does not rest while setting up the stall, that is, the task given to him by his task system is to set up the stall.

The rewards are various ingredients.

Because I don’t have time to cook, there is a lot of food piled up at home, and the rice and flour are almost infested with insects.

When Hua Xiangfan heard about the school, he had no objection.

"That's fine. It just so happens that my younger brothers Dahua and Erhua can send some money there. I wonder if they need it."

Normally they would go to deliver the money once a month, but the two brothers were afraid that they would be too busy to remember, so they would go to deliver the money whenever they remembered.

The extra money will be used to improve the food for my younger brothers and sisters.

After all, I make a lot of money now, so what I give away is nothing.

Early in the morning, Hua Ziqiang took out the soaked rice and ground it into rice flour with a mill. As the sound of stones rubbing against each other was heard, the rice flour fell into the trough along the edge of the millstone.

Sweep the powder in the trough into the basin, then continue grinding and sweeping.

After grinding the rice, take out the glutinous rice and grind it.

Mix the two types of rice flour together in proportion, add sugar, pour into the mold and scrape it flat.

Dig a hole in each grid of rice flour, fill it with sugar osmanthus filling, then sift a layer of flour on it and gently scrape it flat.

Turn it upside down, remove it from the mold, and then put it in the steamer. After ten minutes, the aroma of the pastry will hit your nose.

The air was filled with steam and a faint aroma of rice. Hua Xiangfan became greedy as soon as he smelled it.

"Brother, let me have a taste!"
