Chapter 196
Bowen and his friends hadn't eaten steamed locust flowers for a year, so this one was incredibly delicious. After finishing the meal, he reminded Song Jianshe several times to remember to pick the flowers tomorrow.
At this time, Yuanbao patted his chest and promised: "I will remind my father, he will definitely not forget it."
The little ones were relieved when they heard this, wiped their mouths, and began to look forward to tomorrow's meal. After a while, Yuanbao even discussed with Feng Guizhi: "Grandma, can you make some scrambled eggs with locust flowers tomorrow? This is also very delicious."
Tian'en nodded in agreement. The scrambled eggs with locust flowers were indeed delicious.
Feng Guizhi would definitely not refuse such a small request, so she nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll make it for you tomorrow."
The little ones were very satisfied. They lowered their heads and drank a mouthful of hot soup, feeling warm and comfortable all over.
Next door, Xu Pandi placed a bowl of food given by Feng Guizhi on the dining table. Her grandson Huang Guangzhi looked at it curiously and asked, "Grandma, what is this?"
Xu Pandi smiled and said, "This is the sophora japonica flowers your grandmother Feng steamed for us. Come and try it. Come to think of it, I haven't had it in years."
"Steamed locust flowers? Can the flowers be eaten?" Huang Guangzhi frowned and said in surprise.
His mother Jing Lianhua said, "Sophora japonica flowers? It's been a long time since I tasted them." Then she smiled and said to Huang Guangzhi, "You'll know if you can eat them if you try them."
After that, he first picked up some and put it in Xu Pandi's bowl, then tasted it himself. The familiar taste was immediately palatable. Feng Guizhi's sauce was well-mixed, and the flour and locust flowers blended well. It tasted even better now than it had in my memory.
After tasting it, Xu Pandi couldn't help but praise it: "Guizhi's cooking skills are really good, and the steamed locust flowers are delicious too."
Jing Lianhua nodded in agreement. Huang Guangzhi watched his mother and grandmother eat with such relish that he curiously reached out to taste the food. Then, his eyes widened in surprise. He impatiently picked up another piece of food with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth, mumbling, "It's delicious."
Not only was white flour mixed into the locust flowers, but Feng Guizhi also added a few drops of sesame oil, making it incredibly fragrant. It was also perfectly salty, and since Huang Guangzhi had never tasted it before, it was no surprise he liked it.
Seeing that her grandson liked it, Xu Pandi wondered whether she should go to Feng Guizhi tomorrow to ask where the locust flowers came from.
Where did she get it from? If it was convenient, she would pick some and steam it. However, she then thought that she had never seen it around here before and it probably wouldn't be that easy to find, so she gave up the idea.
Otherwise, if she really asked Feng Guizhi, she guessed that Feng Guizhi would definitely send some directly to them. On weekdays, Feng Guizhi would send them any delicious food she had, and Xu Pandi was embarrassed to accept it again, so she didn't mention it again.
After eating Sophora japonica flowers for three days in a row, I finally had enough of them. Although I still like eating them, I am not as greedy as I was on the first day.
At this time, Yuanbao remembered that all his classmates had been clamoring to eat locust flowers. However, with so many classmates in the class, he certainly couldn't let them all eat it, so he decided to only let Wang Duanduan and Zhou Feiyu eat it first.
After school that morning, Yuanbao quietly said to Wang Duanduan, "Tell Zhou Feiyu to eat less at noon. Don't eat too much, but don't eat too little either. I'll go home for dinner later and see if I can bring you something delicious."
Later, Yuanbao added: "You can only take a little, not much, so you have to eat well, otherwise I won't care if you are hungry in the afternoon."
"Delicious?" Wang Duanduan couldn't hear the thought of whether he was full or not. All his attention was focused on these three words. He thought back to the last time he went to eat at Old Song's house. Those dishes were so delicious and fragrant. Just thinking about it made Wang Duanduan swallow his saliva.
Then he asked, "What's delicious?"
Yuanbao kept it a secret: "I won't tell you now, but you'll know when you come to school this afternoon. Come early then, and we'll go to the back of the classroom."
Wang Duanduan's curiosity was as intense as a cat's paw, but he could only suppress it, nodding vigorously. "Okay, Zhou Feiyu and I will be waiting for you there, and you should come early too."
"Okay." After saying this, Yuanbao hurried to meet up with his brothers.
When he got home, Yuanbao went to Feng Guizhi and told her about it: "Grandma, do we still have some locust flowers left? Can you steam some for lunch? I want to bring some to Wang Duanduan and Zhou Feiyu this afternoon. Not too much, just one bowl... no, half a bowl will be enough."
Feng Guizhi thought of Wang Duanduan and Zhou Feiyu who came home last time. They were both very polite and had a good relationship with Yuanbao. She also
I like them both very much. Anyway, there are enough locust flowers at home now, so it’s not a big deal. Feng Guizhi nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I'll steam some more milk later and bring it over for them to try."
Yuanbao became happy: "Thank you grandma, you are so kind."
"You just realized how good milk is?" Feng Guizhi said with a smile.
"Hey, milk is always good!"
"Go wash your hands, we'll have dinner soon."
"Um!"
After lunch, the children took a nap, but Yuanbao kept in mind the sophora japonica flowers he had brought them. After his brothers Bowen and Boyu woke up, Yuanbao got up with them, took the bowl of sophora japonica flowers Feng Guizhi had packed, put it in his cloth bag, and carefully brought it to school.
When they were almost at school, Yuanbao said something to Bowen and the others, then trotted away. Without entering the classroom, he ran directly to the place where he had made an appointment with Wang Duanduan.
Wang Duanduan and Zhou Feiyu spotted him from afar and took a few steps forward to greet him. After the three of them met, Wang Duanduan said, "Why are you here just now? We've been waiting for you for a long time. Come on, show us what delicious food you brought us."
Yuanbao breathlessly took out a bowl of steamed locust flowers wrapped in cloth from a cloth bag. "Steamed locust flowers, haven't you always wanted to eat them? I brought some for you to try."
Wang Duanduan and Zhou Feiyu widened their eyes in surprise: "Sophora japonica flowers? This is the steamed Sophora japonica flowers you mentioned before? They smell so good!"
"Luckily, I didn't listen to you and eat too much at noon. Hehe, now I can eat more!"
"No, there's still me. Even though I'm full, I can still eat two more bites!"
After saying that, the two of them couldn't wait to look at the Sophora japonica flowers in their hands, then stretched out their hands to Yuanbao and asked, "Where are the chopsticks? Come on, class will start soon, let's eat some first and try whether these steamed Sophora japonica flowers are delicious."
This question made Yuanbao confused: "......"
Then Wang Duanduan and Zhou Feiyu looked at Yuanbao, who was motionless, and asked curiously, "Yuanbao, what's wrong with you? Give us the chopsticks."
Yuanbao looked at the two of them, swallowed, and said, "I forgot... I forgot to take it."
Wang Duanduan and Zhou Feiyu: “…”
The two looked at Yuanbao, then at the steaming and fragrant Sophora japonica flowers, and finally, they chose the most primitive way to eat. After finishing a bowl of steamed Sophora japonica flowers, the three of them walked out from the back of the classroom together. Yuanbao walked in front, while Wang Duanduan and Zhou Feiyu at the back pretended to be calm and wiped their hands on their pants.
wipe.
However, Wang Duanduan licked his lips and savored the taste: "The steamed locust flowers are really delicious, but a little dry."
"It's even drizzled with sesame oil, so it smells really good. Hiccup, if I wasn't full, I'd want another bowl."
Then the two of them praised Feng Guizhi sincerely: "Yuanbao, your grandma's cooking is really delicious."
"I don't really like eating vegetables at home, but the ones you stir-fried last time were especially delicious."
"I told you my grandma's cooking is super delicious, right?" Yuanbao puffed out his little chest proudly.
From then on, Feng Guizhi had two more foodies to support her.
......
Two days later, Hong Guangwu came to the Song family's house. This time he came alone, carrying some snacks. Song Jianye was a little surprised to see him, and then he was about to welcome him into the house: "Come in quickly."
However, Hong Guangwu waved his hand and handed the things in his hand to Song Jianye, saying, "I won't go in. It will be dark soon. I will leave after I finish talking. This time, I came here mainly to tell you a piece of news."
"What news?" Song Jianye asked in surprise.
"Didn't I tell you last time to keep an eye out for you and see if you could find a job? And then a few days ago, I happened to hear from a carpenter that they were short-staffed, so I immediately recommended you. Today, Master Song asked you to go over and take a look. If you're a good fit, you can come back and work for him."
"Master Song is a very experienced carpenter. Our lumber mill often works with him, so he's definitely reliable. I came here today to talk to you about this. If you think it's okay, I'll take you there tomorrow. However, his place is a little far from where you are, and from what I understand, sometimes he has to live in the mill when he's busy, and sometimes he has to go somewhere else. But the salary is pretty good. So, think about it, and if you think it's okay, go there tomorrow."
Song Jianye said without hesitation, "I'll go. Where can I find Master Song tomorrow? You still have to go to work. Just tell me where to go and I'll go there myself."
"It's okay. A day won't delay anything. If we're quick, we might be done by the morning." Hong Guangwu thought for a moment and said, "How about this. Leave early tomorrow and get to the supply and marketing cooperative around nine o'clock. I'll wait for you there then."
"Okay." The two of them quickly finalized it.
Then Hong Guangwu followed
Baoya said a few sweet words and left without staying any longer. Feng Guizhi wanted to bring him something back, but she didn't have time.
After sharing this news with everyone that evening, Song Aiguo, Chen Xiuxiu, and the others were happy for Song Jianye. However, since nothing had been officially confirmed yet, everyone just offered their blessings and hoped for a good outcome tomorrow.
"We've all seen Jianye's carpentry work, so there's definitely no problem."
"Yes, Jianye, just go ahead and rest assured. I'll wait for your good news."
After dinner, the whole family went to bed early. Now that the temperature was slowly rising, there was no need to heat the kang anymore, so Baoya and Tianen also went back to their own beds to sleep.
The sky outside was getting darker and darker, and today Baoya had the same dream as last time.
