Chapter 301 Honey Osmanthus
"Hey, you guys are eating. I'll come back later." Ma Chunxia came in carrying a bamboo basket, saw them eating, turned around and was about to leave.
Zhang Jinlan quickly called her.
"Come in, it's not a problem. What are you bringing?"
It shouldn't be a bamboo tube.
"I passed by your house yesterday and seemed to smell the scent of osmanthus. I guessed you were making osmanthus cakes, so I thought of giving you some osmanthus. The osmanthus flowers in my house are more blooming than the osmanthus trees at the foot of the mountain, and they are more fragrant. They definitely taste better than theirs. No money, I'll come back tomorrow to ask for the backpack."
Ma Chunxia dropped the bamboo basket and ran away.
Zhang Jinlan didn't have time to say anything.
"Forget it. Bring them some green plum drinks tomorrow. Yamato, put the osmanthus in the kitchen."
Zhang Jinlan sat down again and continued eating.
"Grandma, you should buy more osmanthus flowers and store them, otherwise you won't be able to sell them in the future."
When Jiang Fubao saw Osmanthus fragrans, she remembered that she had forgotten the most important thing.
Osmanthus flowers only bloom during this period of time, and will disappear after a while.
If osmanthus is not added to the green plum drink, I am afraid the taste will be greatly reduced.
"Then let's dry it and save it." Zhu Yingqiu said.
"No, I wanted to make osmanthus cake with dried osmanthus flowers, but I found that the taste was very light. It would be best to seal it in a jar with honey, but it would be much more expensive. I heard that cake shops also store osmanthus flowers in this way."
Zhang Yanzi interrupted.
"Honey? I don't seem to see anyone selling honey in town. If it doesn't work, I'll go to the mountain to have a look when I come back tomorrow night." Jiang Dahe said.
"Honey is hard to find. If you encounter a poisonous bee, your life will be in danger. It's better not to go there and just dry it in the sun."
Zhang Jinlan shook her head.
No answer.
"Grandma, why don't we just ask Phoenix?"
Jiang Fubao suddenly said.
"Ask the Phoenix?" Everyone looked at her in unison.
"Well, ask Fenghuang." Jiang Fubao finished speaking and yelled. "Fenghuang, come out quickly——"
Phoenix came back yesterday.
It ran around everywhere and told Jiang Fubao everything it knew.
It turned out that the hail only fell in Qixi County.
It's raining moderately everywhere else.
Therefore, only the food prices in their county went up wildly, and many smart people went to other counties to buy food, causing the prices in other counties to also increase.
Several county magistrates hurriedly stopped people from other counties from entering, and only then was the situation under control.
At Jiang Fubao's call, the phoenix flew back from somewhere.
It fell steadily on her shoulders.
"Phoenix, I have a mission for you. Go to the mountains and look for honey. Remember, it can't be deep in the mountains or on the edge of a cliff, otherwise my uncle will be in danger."
Jiang Meng and Jiang Cheng have already gone back.
So Jiang Fubao did not hold back and spoke directly to Feng Huang.
【Master, I want to eat watermelon. 】
I don't know who the phoenix learned this from, but it actually knows how to ask it for rewards when doing things for you.
"I'll bring you some watermelon tomorrow." After saying this, the phoenix flew away.
The Jiang family was stunned.
In their eyes.
The phoenix only chirped a few times, but Jiang Fubao seemed to understand everything.
The picture is too weird.
The next afternoon.
The Phoenix is back.
[Master, where is the watermelon? ]
Jiang Fubao was taking a shit in the toilet when she got home: "It's in the kitchen. I'll give it to you later. Have you found the honey?" Jiang Fubao was speechless. This greedy bird didn't mind the smell.
【Found it! 】
"Okay, my uncle will go to the mountain later, you lead the way, don't fly around."
[Okay——]
Phoenix cried out happily a few times.
There is watermelon to eat~
Half an hour later.
Jiang Dahe and Jiang Siyin walked to the outskirts of the mountains and saw the phoenix circling a tree. It flew several circles in a row before they stopped and wrapped themselves in several layers of clothes.
Even the head was wrapped with cloth.
Only a pair of eyes were revealed.
And Jiang Fubao.
Grandma didn’t allow me to go to the mountain.
She sat on the doorstep, staring at the road that led to the mountain.
"What are you doing, Fubao? Why aren't you playing with your brothers and sisters?"
Ma Chunxia, who came to deliver osmanthus, touched her head and asked with a smile.
"I'm waiting for my uncle and dad to come back. Grandma Chunxia, why did you bring me osmanthus flowers again?"
Jiang Fubao smelled a very strong sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance.
"Your grandma asked to buy some osmanthus flowers. I still have some left on my tree. I picked them all and gave them to your grandma."
This time, Ma Chunxia did not carry a bamboo basket, but a bamboo basket.
"Okay, Grandma Chunxia, you go in, I'll wait for uncle and dad." Jiang Fubao moved his fat butt to the left.
Signaled Ma Chunxia to go in.
She held her round face in her hands and continued to look at the road.
It was getting dark.
Only then did I vaguely see two figures walking down the mountain.
"Uncle, Dad, you are back——"
Jiang Fubao trotted over to meet him.
But I saw two big lumps on my uncle's face, which were swollen.
Daddy wasn't much better, he was stung by a bee on the back of his hand.
"Is this bee also obsessed with looks? Why doesn't it sting daddy's face?" Jiang Fubao muttered to himself.
"What is Fubao talking about? Look, there are so many wild honeys. Phoenix actually led us to nine places."
Behind the two of them.
It's a bamboo basket.
It's filled with honey.
Some of them still have branches on them.
"Uncle, Daddy, are you in pain?" Jiang Fubao felt a little distressed.
"It doesn't hurt. The thorn has been pulled out. It will be healed after a while." The two said unwillingly.
"You have to wash it with soap." Jiang Fubao pulled them to the yard with his left and right hands, picked up the soap and handed it to them, asking them to wash.
Neither of them had time to put down the backpacks they were carrying.
For fear that Jiang Fubao would get angry, they only dared to clean up the honey after they had washed it.
"That's enough. It's pickled enough. I'll go see a doctor in town tomorrow. It's been pierced like this, and I don't know if it's poisonous. I'll buy it next year. Don't go looking for it in the mountains. It's too dangerous."
Zhang Jinlan must be heartbroken for her own son.
"We'll all listen to mom." The two of them responded with a silly smile.
It was getting dark.
Many people in the village went to the village entrance with their palm-leaf fans to chat and gossip.
Jiang Guangyi, who didn't dare to leave the house, sat in the yard to enjoy the cool air.
Chen Qiuju couldn't stay there, so she was thick-skinned and ran to the village entrance for a walk.
Not long after she left, a figure sneaked into the Jiang family.
Standing straight in front of Jiang Guangyi.
"You——" Jiang Guangyi was shocked.
The son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter were working in the backyard of the house.
He hurriedly pulled Widow Liu out.
The two came to the corner of the field.
Jiang Guangyi then dared to speak: "What are you doing in my house?"
"I'm pregnant." Widow Liu said, touching her belly.
"What? Pregnant?" Jiang Guangyi staggered back two steps, stepped on a stone and fell to the ground.
He doesn't care about the pain.
His eyes looked straight at Widow Liu's belly.
"What on earth do you want to do?" There was no joy on his face.
His eyes were full of fear.
"I don't want to do anything. You are no longer the village chief. It is useless for me to marry you. Give me three taels of silver and I will go to the clinic to get rid of the child. The remaining money is your compensation. I can't have this child. If you don't give it to me, I will make the whole village know about it and see if you can still live a good life. I only give you three days."
Widow Liu left after saying this.
Without even bringing back the head.
