Chapter 244 243. Cowpea Rice

Chen Xing sighed all the way as he sent the two of them to the Rose Corridor. He only glanced at Zhou Qian's house on the side of the road, then stepped on the accelerator and left without looking back.

Huaiyu watched the car go away, holding the two jars and watching Zhou Changgong continue to move the large and small jars, and then came to the Rose Corridor and asked softly: "Hey, why did you scare them so much?"

The rose bushes on the trellis were swaying slightly in the hot summer breeze. Even the originally light fragrance of the flowers was evaporated warmly. The flower buds kept growing, and the sharp thorns were hidden under the glossy green leaves.

The petals fluttered all over the ground, and were carefully gathered into a pile by Kataro. He then held them with his four paws and dropped them as he walked, but he finally successfully carried them back to his house.

After all, if the petals are exposed to the sun for too long, the balls made from them will not be fragrant.

Huai Yu stared at the fallen flowers on the ground and pondered, then shouted to Zhou Qian: "Brother Zhou Qian, do you want to eat the rose jam?"

Zhou Qian lifted up the hem of his clothes and wiped the sweat off his face. He looked at his own disheveled self, then at the landlord standing under the flower wall covered in flower petals, and couldn't help but laugh:

"Instead of thinking about food, why don't you help me move a jar?"

Huaiyu immediately lowered her head to study the petals: "Every profession has its own expertise...Okay, I won't ask you anymore. I'll give it to you when it's done!"

Zhou Qian then snorted.

However, although it is said to be made, the flower jam actually requires honey. Nowadays, Huaiyu has to rely on the staff of the testing station for guidance when buying white sugar, let alone honey.

So she thought about it - why not make flower cakes! Then the question is, can the petals of the rose corridor be eaten?

Huaiyu carefully walked up to the rose corridor: "Can your petals be eaten?"

"After the petal Kataro was made into a ball, eating it seemed to make people dream... Zhou Qian was unhappy for several days in a row after the dream... Will it be the same if it is made into a flower cake?"

She asked in a muttered voice, and a thin branch beside her gently hit her shoulder, as if expressing dissatisfaction.

Huaiyu probably understood what was going on and decided to give it a try first - she was not afraid of dreaming, so she could eat it first.

Unexpectedly, when she lowered her head, she saw Xiaotian poking his head out from the grass leaves, and his two small eyes looked right at her.

"squeak!"

Xiaotian barked and turned to run, but Huaiyu grabbed him by the tail and lifted him up: "Xiaotian!"

She stared at the staggering Xiao Tian: "What's wrong with you? We agreed to rule the world together, and I haven't seen you for a while. You're still so wary of me... If you have the guts, don't steal my peanuts and soybeans!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Oda's four little paws, which were kicking the air wildly, suddenly stopped moving, and they curled up obediently in front of his chest and abdomen, becoming very obedient.

Huaiyu snorted.

Up to now, not even a bamboo rat has come into Kuangbiao’s bamboo forest, so if there is any movement in the vegetable field, there is no need to consider others.

This Xiaotian is quite quick to act!

The peanuts were stolen and the leaves and stalks were scattered all over the ground.

The soybeans were not ripe yet, but the whole pod was picked up and the vine was bitten off... Huaiyu saw it at a glance when picking vegetables, but the weather was too hot and he was too lazy to look for it.

Now that Xiaotian has fallen into the trap, she became proud and said, "See, I told you that you can't escape!"

"Come here!" She put Xiaotian on the ground again: "You have lived here for several years, right? You must have eaten rose petals before? How about it? Can you eat it?"

The Rose Corridor allowed this little guy to dig holes under its leaves, which should be quite tolerant. Someone must have wanted to take advantage of it, so they publicized it in such a scary way!

In short, here in Huaiyu, Rose Corridor is very well behaved. Except for sometimes having a little temper, everyone is very good to her.

Well...if you hadn't been so distant at the beginning and kept trying to make her kowtow, it would have been better.

Xiaotian kicked his legs and turned his head to see that Huaiyu's hand was still pinching the tip of his tail. He couldn't help but squeak twice, then picked up a petal that had fallen to the ground with his front paws and stuffed it into his mouth. He chewed it quickly and swallowed it after a while.

Huaiyu stared at it for a while and understood: "I understand, I can eat it! But why are you so unfamiliar? Why did you have to eat it in front of me? How embarrassing!"

She giggled and asked, "If you drag the peanuts and soybeans back home before they're dry, they won't last long. If you want to eat them, just pick them and let them mature and dry in the field before taking them away. I won't beat you."

"By the way, has your wife given birth to a baby vole? Don't give birth to too many, or else you'll have endless offspring, and I'll be the one who'll be troubled!"

But this is probably not a big problem, because judging from Xiaotian's appearance, he should be several years old, but so far she has only seen a couple with three children...which is not consistent with the reproductive capacity of voles.

Huaiyu tapped its ear: "Would you like to eat something else? I dried some cowpea rice a while ago. Would you like some?"

The mature cowpeas will turn slightly purple and white, and the whole cowpea will swell and lose moisture. If you peel the cowpea rice at this time and cook it directly with rice, it will be fragrant and sticky, and very delicious.

The giant python cowpea was so huge that some of the cowpeas hidden in the vines died because we didn’t have time to pick them or we didn’t see them when we were picking them.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The not-so-severely old Huaiyu was used to stew meat, and it tasted delicious.

For those with serious diseases, she would simply pick them and collect the cowpea rice, then expose them to the scorching sun for a while. This way, she could not only save the seeds but also preserve them.

She collected a huge bag!

Moreover, the cowpeas are still growing and can be harvested after a while.

It’s rare to see Xiaotian nowadays, so Huaiyu is very generous!

Xiaotian looked at her stupidly, and then squeaked twice. Huaiyu let go of her hand: "Come, wait for me in the room. I'll go wash my hands first."

When he returned to the house, Huaiyu first found a small fresh-keeping bag, put a handful of cowpea rice in it, and then tied the bag and handed it to Xiaotian:

"Look, I prepared it for you. It's so convenient to carry! If you steal things from the fields by yourself, you will have to carry them one by one for several nights. How embarrassing!"

Oda stared at her and squeaked twice before slowly dragging the bag out of the house.

That handful of cowpea rice was already bigger than its entire body.

As soon as I got to the door, I heard a child's stammering voice:

"You you you, steal, steal, rat steal, steal things--"

You can tell that it is shouting very loudly.

When Huaiyu went outside, he saw Da Pang holding his two white and plump ginseng legs, with the ginseng whiskers dancing wildly on all sides, baring their teeth and claws, working very hard! After the posture was set, he leaned forward slightly, and the large cluster of green leaves on his head, along with the thin stems, whistled in an instant and whipped forward fiercely -

"oops!"

There were too many ginseng whiskers, making him top-heavy, and he stumbled and lost stability, falling heavily to the ground.
