"Okay, then we'll steam buns on the 28th, and put up couplets and window decorations on the 29th."
There is no fixed requirement for what to do on a specific day, but they feel that this arrangement is quite comfortable.
As for Zhang Shouquan, he usually doesn't express his own opinions. He just does whatever Qiu Yantang and Qiu Hua ask him to do.
The main point is to be obedient.
At night, Qiu Yantang's flower fields matured again.
This time, Qiu Yantang's flower field is planted with geraniums, also known as hydrangeas. The fragrance of the flowers when they bloom is hard to describe as stinky or something like that.
It was said to be the smell of Houttuynia cordata, but Qiu Yantang felt that it was a bit similar and not quite. Anyway, she couldn't describe the smell well.
However, because of the smell, the little frog refused to enter the space. After all, its nest was too close to the flower field.
Among the many red geraniums, there is a geranium with various colors. Qiu Yantang was a little excited. After all, it has been a long time since there have been rare flowers. This is very lucky.
Qiu Yantang quickly harvested the geraniums.
[Ding, harvested 99 red geraniums, 198 red geranium seeds, one rare colorful geranium, and two colorful geranium seeds.]
[Ding, harvest rare flower varieties and receive 1 piece of Golden Land as a gift.]
Red Geranium: For Perfume… For Decoration…
Colorful geranium: The powder can drive away wild beasts and cure epidemics.
Well, it doesn't seem to be of much use now, but it is a rare flower, and the colorful geranium matures once every two months, so it is indeed a good thing.
Qiu Yantang didn't say anything, and used the land where he had planted the Broken Ice Blue Roses and the newly gifted land to plant colorful geraniums.
There are also durian and cherry trees next to the flower fields. The flowers have almost bloomed and are starting to bear fruit.
It does have a high-end, classy feel.
The smell of geranium was really hard to accept, so Qiu Yantang simply turned the ordinary geranium into spring mud to protect the flowers.
After leaving the space, Qiu Yantang fell into a sound sleep on the freshly washed quilt.
When he woke up in the morning, Qiu Yantang started to knead dough with Qiu Hua to prepare steamed buns.
The steamed buns at this time are basically round and big, and they are relatively hard when you bite them.
Qiu Yantang naturally couldn't make that kind of steamed buns. She wanted to make the flowery and soft ones.
"Little Ancestor, there are so many colors of water? How do I use them?"
Looking at the colorful water, Qiuhua was actually thinking in her heart, is the little ancestor going to poison me...
It's like killing someone with this medicine.
"Mix the dough," Qiu Yantang explained, seemingly considering Qiuhua's thoughts. "Don't worry, these are all natural fruit and vegetable juices. The green one is spinach juice, the orange one is carrot juice, the golden one is rose juice, the red one is rose juice, the light blue one is rose juice, the purple one is jasmine juice, and the others are mixed. Don't worry, they are all edible!"
Qiuhua thought about it and it made sense. She was a ghost, so there was no big problem with eating these. The main thing was that the little ancestor had to eat them by herself, and she couldn't poison herself.
So the final conclusion is that there should be no problem with these fruit and vegetable juices.
Qiu Yantang certainly thought so too.
"This carrot juice can be used to make fish, and this golden one can be used to make a dragon..."
Qiuhua looked bitter, "Little Ancestor, let's just say this is too difficult..."
"Haha, I'll teach you how to do it." After saying that, Qiu Yantang began to teach Qiu Hua how to make it, with various styles, and sometimes different tools were needed.
Looking at the lifelike dragon in Qiu Yantang's hand and the half-dead dragon in her own hand, Qiuhua thought about it and decided to give up.
"Little ancestor, you do this. Teach me some simple tricks."
Seeing that Qiuhua really didn't have the talent to make a dragon, Qiu Yantang didn't say anything else and just taught her how to make that kind of flower. When it was steamed, it was plump and looked very beautiful.
After teaching Qiuhua, Qiuhua started to do it herself. After all, it was just a simple one, but she did it quite well. Qiu Yantang did the slightly more difficult one because after the Chinese New Year it would be the Year of the Ox.
Qiu Yantang also specially made a few little cows, which look cute too.
The two of them sat here, and Zhang Shouquan started steaming buns over there.
When he saw these fancy steamed buns, he couldn't help but exclaim that they were so beautiful.
Steaming buns is also a technical job. You can’t take them out immediately after steaming. You have to leave them for a while, otherwise they will shrink.
When they rise, they are not soft, and some are even hard as stone.
In the afternoon, Qiu Manzhi, Lan Qiqi and others came over. Some of the steamed buns made by Qiu Yantang and Qiu Hua had been placed outside to dry.
After it freezes, you can store it directly. Whenever you want to eat it, just heat it up in a pan. It is not much different from freshly steamed ones.
"Hey, Tangtang, what did you make? It's so beautiful!"
Fan Tuan is holding a dragon in his hand. Qiu Yantang made it thinner on purpose, and it expanded after being steamed. Now it looks both cute and majestic.
"Steamed bun!"
Listening to Qiu Yantang's words, Fan Tuan also remembered, "There are also flower buns in Kyoto, but they are far inferior to what you make, Tangtang, and there are not so many varieties."
They didn't plan to make it so fancy. They would just steam some big white buns. The two of them wouldn't eat much anyway.
"Haha," Qiu Yantang laughed, "That's right, I make a lot of different dishes, they're delicious and look great!"
After that, he took out the remaining juice and said, "If you like it, you can choose it. Don't make any fancy patterns, just make something with some color. You don't have to use it to steam buns, you can also use it to make dumplings."
Lan Qiqi, Fan Tuan and Qiu Manzhi all chose their favorite colors and planned to take them home to make dumplings.
"Qiqi, Fan Tuan, how are your bean sprouts growing?"
When they heard Qiu Yantang asking Douya, they were both very happy.
"A batch will be available on the 30th. Is Tangtang planning to distribute it to the villagers?"
"Well, there are mushrooms too. That way we can have more dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner, so you can eat the ones you made at home, right?"
Qiu Yantang took out some mung beans and asked Lan Qiqi and Fan Tuan to distribute some of them at home. After all, the room in the village office was only so big and what could be done was limited.
Lan Qiqi and Fan Tuan nodded.
"Okay, you guys at home can share some with Lin Jing and the others. If you can't eat during the New Year, you can just get together and eat."
In fact, Lu Jinnian and the others had already thought about this matter, and even wanted to bring Qiu Yantang along from the bottom of their hearts.
"How about you come with us, Tangtang?"
Lan Qiqi and the others all felt that Qiu Yantang's own words were a bit too lonely and boring.
"No, I have other plans."
