Time passed in a flash, winter went and spring came, and the people in the Song family continued their busy lives.
Song Jianshe and Li Qingyan both went to the county town. The children had started school, and Chen Xiuxiu and Song Aiguo went to work in the fields every day. Song Jianye went to work with Engineer Deng to learn carpentry, while Feng Guizhi stayed at home to look after Tiantian, Yuanbao, and Baoya.
Life in the cowshed has returned to what it was before the New Year, but Shen Yibei rarely goes to the back mountain in the afternoon, or even if he goes, he may not necessarily run into Baoya and Yuanbao.
He now studies with Xu Zhijin every day. If it is not convenient for him to go, he will review the knowledge he has learned before by himself.
I have to say that Xu Zhijin is indeed a very competent teacher, and his knowledge is very comprehensive and in-depth. When he was teaching Shen Yibei, although he taught junior high school knowledge, sometimes he would cleverly incorporate some content that can only be learned in high school.
Of course, Shen Yibei is also very smart. He can often draw inferences from one example and absorb knowledge very thoroughly.
In the blink of an eye, it was April. The branches of locust trees at the village entrance were in full bloom. When the wind blew, the white petals fell down like a rain of petals.
The flowering period of this Sophora japonica flower is very short, only ten days, so even though it has just matured, some people from the team have already come to pick them. But fortunately, this is an old tree for many years, and the Sophora japonica flowers on it are still quite impressive.
The little ones at home had been clamoring for food for a long time, so Feng Guizhi did not delay any longer. Everyone had gone to work, and she had nothing to do at home, so she carried a basket, took Yuanbao and Baoya, and took Tiantian by the hand, and went to the village entrance.
Now Tiantian is almost one and a half years old. She can walk very skillfully and speak clearly.
At this moment, he was walking slowly holding Feng Guizhi's hand, his big round eyes constantly looking around, and he found everything curious.
"Tiantian, do you know where we are going?" Yuanbao said to Tiantian on the side.
Tiantian blinked her big eyes: "Go?"
"Let's go pick locust flowers. You must have never seen locust flowers before. They are not only beautiful, but also very delicious!" Yuanbao said as he smacked his lips unconsciously, unable to help but savor the taste of the locust flowers.
Tiantian, who is only a little over one year old, can’t remember many things. If she had to say what she remembers most clearly, it would definitely be “eating”.
So when she heard Yuanbao say that Sophora japonica flowers were delicious, her sweet eyes lit up immediately:
"eat!"
Yuanbao knew that his sister was interested in food, and now he couldn't help laughing when he saw her like this.
"Hahaha, little Fatty, you only know how to eat."
Tiantian didn't care what Yuanbao said, her mind was full of the word "I want to eat". She had been walking slowly with Feng Guizhi, but now she started walking forward with her two little legs kicking.
Feeling that Feng Guizhi was walking too slowly, Tiantian let go of her hand, then looked back at Baoya and Yuanbao, as if she thought for two seconds, then walked to Baoya's side, took the initiative to extend her little hand, and then took Baoya's hand and walked forward quickly.
He kept urging, "Let's go and eat."
Baoya, who had always been the little sister in the Song family, now became Tiantian's big sister. She smiled and held Tiantian's hand tightly, then led her towards the locust flowers. However, she was afraid that Tiantian would fall if she walked too fast, so Baoya controlled her pace and made sure that Tiantian walked steadily.
"Tiantian, don't you want your brother anymore?" The abandoned Yuanbao shouted and chased after him.
Feng Guizhi followed behind with a smile on her face.
After a while, the four of them arrived under the locust tree at the entrance of the village. However, Tiantian didn't know the locust flowers, so she pulled Baoya to continue walking forward. Baoya pointed at the locust flowers and said to her:
"We're here. This is Sophora japonica."
When she heard it, Tiantian opened her big eyes and stared at the locust flowers above her head for several seconds, then squatted down, picked up the fallen locust flowers on the ground and put them into her mouth.
Baoya saw it from the side and quickly stopped her, teaching her softly: "Don't eat the ones that fell on the ground. If you eat them, they will make your stomach hurt."
However, Baoya actually felt a little guilty when she said this, because she had eaten candy like this when she was at Liu's house, and she even secretly picked up the candy wrapper and licked it to taste.
But Tiantian didn't know this. Seeing that Baoya didn't allow her to do so, she stopped picking up the locust flowers on the ground. She stood up, pointed at the locust flowers on the tree, and then looked at Baoya and asked, "Pick them?"
Baoya nodded her little head and said, "Just be good here. I'll go pick some locust flowers for Tiantian, okay?"
"And me, brother, will pick some for Tiantian too." Yuanbao said from the side.
Tiantian was happy when she heard it, and squatted down honestly.
She looked well-behaved, nodded vigorously, and replied, "Yes! Tiantian, be good, pick it~!"
Seeing that Baoya had coaxed Tiantian, Feng Guizhi did not delay any longer. She found a branch nearby, hooked it onto the locust branch and started stroking the flowers.
Yuanbao climbed up the tree and started helping. But since he was small and his arms weren't long, he didn't get much. He plucked a handful and passed it to Baoya, who then put it in the basket next to him.
After a while of busy work, a basket was soon full. Looking at the basket of white Sophora japonica flowers, Baoya and Yuanbao began to look forward to dinner.
Tiantian on the side was staring at it with her eyes wide open, her saliva dripping down.
"Hey~Tiantian, you're so shy. You're still drooling even though you're so old." Yuanbao said to Tiantian with disgust, but he reached out to help Tiantian wipe the saliva off her chin.
Feeling that it had been wiped clean, Tiantian shook off Yuanbao's hand with her sweet little hand, and then ran to Feng Guizhi with her chubby little legs.
"Okay, let's go back." Feng Guizhi said with a smile.
As soon as they got home, Tiantian couldn't wait to eat it. Feng Guizhi put the locust flowers in the kitchen and took Tiantian to play with other things to divert her attention. Sure enough, Tiantian forgot about the locust flowers after a while.
"Oh, Tiantian is such a silly sister." Yuanbao shook his head and said.
......
In the evening, after Chen Xiuxiu and Song Aiguo got off work, Feng Guizhi handed Tiantian to them and went into the kitchen to cook.
Feng Guizhi first washed the locust flowers with clean water, and then set them aside.
The dough was mixed in the afternoon and now it has risen enough to make steamed buns. However, this time Feng Guizhi planned to make flower rolls.
After kneading the fermented dough, Feng Guizhi took out a rolling pin and rolled the dough into a rectangular pancake, then continued to roll it evenly until it was neither too thin nor too thick.
Then, apply a layer of oil on it, sprinkle some fine salt and chopped green onions evenly, fold it from one end, cut it into small doughs of similar size, press it in the middle with chopsticks, and then roll it into the shape of a flower roll.
After that, you have to wait for it to wake up again, and then steam it in cold water. The steaming time of the flower rolls should not be too long. After a short time, the fluffy and soft flower rolls can be taken out of the pot.
The big pot is steaming.
Feng Guizhi rinsed the pot and started cooking in a small pot. The lettuce was fresh at this time, so Feng Guizhi picked two from the vegetable garden and planned to make scrambled eggs with lettuce.
By the time the dishes were done, the steamed buns in the pot were almost done. Feng Guizhi then picked up the drained locust flowers and began to make a few small heart-shaped steamed locust flowers.
She picked up the steamed bun basket containing locust flowers and poured white flour into it. After each locust flower was evenly coated with white flour, she grabbed it with her hands so that it would stick more firmly.
At this time, a pot of vegetable soup is cooking underneath. Put a grate on top and then cover it with a steaming cloth. Then pour the prepared locust flowers on top, cover the pot and wait.
Feng Guizhi took advantage of this time to prepare the seasoning. She used the back of a knife to smash some garlic into a paste, sprinkled some salt, poured a little vinegar, and finally added two drops of sesame oil. She would wait for the sophora japonica flowers to be steamed, pour the sauce over the soup, mix it, and it was ready to eat.
Feng Guizhi is very efficient when cooking and she calculates the time just right, so even though she makes a lot of food, it doesn't take too long.
Before long, a large plate full of locust flowers was served on the table, next to it was a plate of scrambled eggs with lettuce, a basket of steamed buns, and a bowl of vegetable soup in front of each person.
"I can finally eat steamed locust flowers!" Wenjie and Wenzhi were so excited that they couldn't help swallowing their saliva.
“It smells so good, so good~”
"There are also Hanamaki today~!"
"And there's my favorite vegetable soup!" The eyes of the little ones lit up when they saw the things they had been longing to eat.
Not only them, but also the adults at the table were happy: "Oh, this smells so good."
"You can only eat these locust flowers two or three times a year, but I've been thinking about it for a long time."
"It's been a long time since I made steamed buns. I just love eating them." Song Aiguo picked up a steamed bun and laughed heartily.
"You've been thinking about it for so long, what else is there to say now? Let's try it quickly." Feng Guizhi said with a smile.
The whole family started to eat. The steamed buns were made of white flour, and were spread with oil and chopped green onions. They were very soft in one bite, with the aroma of oil and the taste of chopped green onions. If you chew them carefully for a while, you can also taste the faint sweetness of starch.
Taste the steamed locust flowers again, they are sweet with the aroma of garlic, the fragrance of white flour and the taste of sesame oil. The saltiness is just right, and it is very satisfying to eat them in one bite.
Baoya also enjoyed the meal very much. She felt
She felt like she had to add another delicious thing to her list. She had heard Yuanbao say that Sophora japonica flowers were delicious, but she hadn't quite imagined how such pretty flowers could taste good. Now that she had tasted them, she realized Yuanbao was absolutely right.
However, after a full meal, Baoya felt a little worried. She sat on the stool and could see her bulging belly when she looked down. Moreover, Baoya quietly reached under the table and felt that her belly seemed to have grown a little bigger.
Baoya couldn't help but think of Yang Fucai. She was a little worried that if she continued to eat like this, she would become like Yang Fucai, with a bulging belly bigger than the watermelon she ate in the summer.
Baoya imagined it and felt that the scene was a little scary.
Afterwards, Baoya secretly told herself, tomorrow, tomorrow I will eat a little less...
