Chapter 59 Inventions
The girl pushed open a door and shouted, "Grandma, I found someone to buy osmanthus flowers. A sister said she wanted to buy our osmanthus flowers!"
Not long after, an old woman named me came out. She looked to be about fifty years old. Her appearance was not too old, but her legs and feet were not very flexible. She leaned forward and looked up and down when she walked.
There was a bamboo chair in front of her, and she had to lean completely on the chair to move forward slowly.
However, the bamboo chair was too light and inconvenient, so the speed was extremely slow.
"Xiao Qiu!"
The old woman waved her hand and called the girl to her side, while looking at the two people with a wary look on her face.
Bai Mengmeng felt a little embarrassed again and pointed at the tools in her hand: "We are here to harvest osmanthus flowers."
The old woman thought for a moment and pointed to the osmanthus tree in the yard: "You can only beat it yourself. My legs and feet are not very convenient."
Osmanthus flowers should usually be picked before nine in the morning. At that time, the flowers are covered with morning dew and are more likely to float down. If you tap them gently at an angle with a bamboo pole, a golden rain of osmanthus flowers will fall.
Bai Mengmeng and Wang Hao first spread the oilcloth flat on the ground, and then tapped it gently with a bamboo pole, so that the green leaves would fall together with the golden osmanthus flowers.
Bai Mengmeng picked up another sieve and filtered out the green leaves and dead branches. She repeated this several times before it was clean.
The two of them were busy and having a lot of fun, one taking pictures and the other drying them, and soon they had a full bag.
In fact, without careful processing, there are still many planned magazines, and they are very watery and heavy.
But Bai Mengmeng saw that the two people were living in hardship, and the osmanthus was of good quality and it was golden osmanthus, so she simply took an integer and gave the money to the rich.
The old woman finally smiled and kept thanking him.
Wang Hao also realized something at this time. Seeing that there were always two people in the room, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you the only two living in this room?"
The little girl was innocent and had little defense. She said directly: "My parents are not at home. They are out working. They will be back after the New Year."
Bai Mengmeng finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that it wasn't an elderly widower taking care of his granddaughter.
…
Use an electric tricycle to bring the osmanthus flowers back home. Since they have just been picked, they need to be dried in the shade.
So Bai Mengmeng went to the market to buy some seasonings and ordered some vegetables and meat, planning to reopen the store tomorrow.
After everything was ready, Wang Hao drove in front and took Bai Mengmeng back to the restaurant.
However, along the way, his expression was extremely solemn, as if he was thinking about something.
After resting for a long time, he gently asked, "Master, Xiaoqiu's grandmother doesn't seem to be ill. Why is she so unwell at such a young age? She seems to be walking in a hurry."
Bai Mengmeng had naturally noticed it a long time ago. The old woman's gait was obviously panic when she walked, which was very typical of Parkinson's disease. I seem to have medicine to treat Parkinson's disease here.
So she couldn't help but shake her head: "He must have Parkinson's disease. This is how he walks."
Wang Hao hesitated for two seconds and then asked, "Can this patient be cured?"
Bai Mengmeng also understood Wang Hao's thoughts and couldn't help but sigh: "I'm afraid this disease can't be cured, it can only be controlled."
After thinking about it, Wang Hao couldn't help but say: "Since walking is so inconvenient, I have an idea."
"I can make a walker out of a chair, add wheels underneath, and then it will be easier to walk. I can also use heavier equipment to prevent slipping. If I can install it under my armpits, it won't require as much strength in my hands."
Bai Mengmeng's face was full of approval: "Not bad, it's possible, but the most important thing is to ensure stability and safety. People with Parkinson's disease are particularly prone to falls. If they fall, it will be terrible."
Wang Hao suddenly perked up. "That's quite simple. We can make a manual brake so that you can stop immediately if you want. The wheels can also be designed in different sizes so that we can add more friction points if there's a problem. My idea is..."
Speaking of this, Wang Hao seemed like a completely different person. One moment he was talking about visual correction, and the next moment he was talking about movement balance.
Bai Mengmeng actually couldn't quite understand these more professional knowledge, and she didn't know what Wang Hao was planning to do, but she was quite supportive.
"No problem, just go ahead and do it. I can give you some money as support."
Wang Hao was immediately surprised, raised his hands and started cheering. Then the tricycle suddenly tilted and fell directly into the ditch.
Bai Mengmeng was so frightened that she almost fell to the ground. She said speechlessly while eating, "Drive seriously and don't get carried away."
The two of them pushed the tricycle directly out of the ditch. Bai Mengmeng was still frightened and her tone became serious: "When you make that thing, you have to test it first to confirm that it is extremely safe. Only then can you give it to Little Bear's grandmother to use. Do you understand?"
…
After returning to the restaurant, Bai Mengmeng began to deal with the planning.
Although it was carefully screened, there were still many impurities in the osmanthus flowers. The dust on the surface was blown away by the wind, and some withered things were directly removed.
In addition to drying osmanthus flowers naturally in the shade, they can also be baked in the oven. As long as the temperature is right, the color of the osmanthus flowers will remain golden, and the fragrance of the osmanthus flowers will be retained, making them taste extremely delicious.
Bai Mengmeng took some osmanthus flowers, soaked them in salt water, and put them in the oven, intending to make osmanthus honey.
Clean the jar to make sure it is free of oil and water, then pour a layer of honey on it, and then spread a layer of osmanthus flowers, stacking them layer by layer to ensure that the bottom and surface are all covered with honey. Then seal it for storage and it will be osmanthus honey.
Then I took another jar and used the same method, except replacing the honey with white sugar. After filling it up, it became candied osmanthus.
Bai Mengmeng plans to put the remaining osmanthus flowers on a bamboo mat and wait for the autumn wind to blow through before they are dried up little by little.
To be honest, doing these things is quite tiring. Finally, when they were done, Bai Mengmeng felt dizzy and her whole body was almost intoxicated by the fragrance of osmanthus. She almost became intoxicated by it.
He forced himself to cheer up and took out the dried acorns.
After being exposed to the sun, the bowl has fallen off and the surface has become scorched.
Bai Mengmeng took out the magic weapon and took out the meat inside.
I smelled it briefly and it felt numb and astringent, so it probably hasn't been dried through yet.
After drying, it is ground into powder and then washed in water with changing water continuously. Only here can the starch be washed out of the precipitated pulp water without astringency.
