When the tree gets old, it will die naturally, and a new sapling will grow next to it.
A few years later, the saplings began to slowly bloom and bear fruit again...
The plants in the mountains, without any special selection or intervention from humans, still maintain their original state of life.
Complete one cycle after another.
After Wang Tianxiao contracted the mountain, he had thought about collecting the fruits in the mountain to make canned goods or jam, but there were no roads in the mountain and no relevant technology for the time being. If he really wanted to do this, he needed to plan it out carefully.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the most important festivals in Qingcheng.
People have given this festival special meaning because of the round moon.
reunion.
On this day, no matter what people are busy with, they will temporarily put things aside and reunite with their families.
Eat mooncakes, enjoy various fruits, and admire the moon.
When Wang Tianxiao was a child, his anticipation for the Mid-Autumn Festival was no less than that for the Lunar New Year.
During the Lunar New Year, you can eat meat, while during the Mid-Autumn Festival, you can eat sweets.
Every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, my mother, Zhang Yufeng, would make mooncakes herself, some steamed and some baked.
You can put all kinds of fillings inside.
Sesame seeds, various fruits, walnuts, dates, etc.
If it's dried fruit, it will be chopped up; if it's fresh fruit, it will be sliced thinly and sprinkled with white sugar.
Whether steamed or pan-fried, it tastes very sweet and delicious.
Later, after he got married, this kind of thing was transferred from his mother to his wife.
Every year on this day, my wife would pick a lot of fruit, wash and dry it, and knead a lot of dough to ferment in advance.
Around noon, we start making the filling, which is usually steamed first and then pan-fried.
If you're steaming it, you can make a large flatbread about 30 to 40 centimeters in diameter, put thin slices of various fruits in the middle, sprinkle with white sugar and sesame seeds, then cover it with another flatbread and gently press the edges with a comb to create a very beautiful pattern.
But such a big pancake is difficult to put on the steamer. Every time, Wang Tianxiao has to help. The two of them carefully pick up the pancake and slowly move it onto the steamer.
Making mooncakes is even more troublesome.
Li Yali can make mooncakes in many different shapes.
There are round ones, square ones, triangular ones, and also semi-circular ones, candy corners, and so on.
The mooncakes baked over a wood fire are very beautiful, with a lovely golden color. When they are fresh out of the oven, they have a faint aroma of wheat mixed with the fruity fragrance, smelling delicious and tasting sweet.
Wang Tianxiao could eat a lot of them each time, until he was completely stuffed.
Later, his wife passed away. Every year, his children would buy him many mooncakes, but no matter how beautiful the packaging was, he didn't like to eat them and couldn't experience the joy of eating mooncakes at all.
On the contrary, he felt extremely distressed when he had to eat those mooncakes because he was afraid they would spoil.
Ultimately, it all comes down to what you're eating and how you feel. Sometimes it's not what you eat that matters, but who you eat it with.
Tonight, Wang Tianxiao was exceptionally excited.
He can eat Li Yali's mooncakes again.
From the afternoon onwards, he acted like a child, constantly hovering around Li Yali. When Li Yali kneaded dough, he would help by chopping filling. If Li Yali was making pancakes, he would help by tending the fire.
Li Yali didn't understand why he was like this, and said that if he was tired, he could go and rest, and didn't need to help here.
She naturally couldn't understand the joy in Wang Tianxiao's heart.
More than anything else, being able to reunite with his wife after his rebirth is his greatest happiness.
