When returning to the courtyard, Jia Dongsheng brought back a can of milk powder and a can of malted milk.
Since he had the tickets and could buy them, although Jia Dongsheng was old, he also wanted to taste the milk powder and malted milk of that era.
That's what chefs are like, they want to try every flavor.
Of course, he couldn't say this to anyone else. To outsiders, Jia Dongsheng always bought it and prepared it for Huaihua.
In fact, although Huaihua had been born for several days, the child's name had not yet been decided, and Jia Zhang was still thinking hard about it.
It's just that she has never even been to school, otherwise she wouldn't have locked the door of someone else's house and treated it as her own.
So, the name Banggeng was given by Jia Zhang. Jia Geng, any grandmother with a little culture would not give this name.
Xiaodang was named by Jia Dongxu because when Xiaodang was born in the factory, he heard the sound of hammering by a blacksmith nearby, so he gave Xiaodang this name.
Originally, Jia Dongsheng wanted to give Huaihua a new name that suits the times, such as Fen, Fang, or Xia. However, Jia Zhang thought Huaihua was a girl, so she disagreed with Jia Dongsheng, fearing that the name would bring bad luck to Jia Dongsheng and that he would give birth to a girl after marriage.
Well, feudal superstition is not acceptable.
But, Jia Zhang just believed it, what could Jia Dongsheng do?
"Wow wow wow."
As soon as he reached the door of his house, he heard Huaihua crying from inside the house. Jia Dongsheng stepped in and said, "Sister-in-law, why is the third girl crying? Is she feeling unwell?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jia Dongsheng walked into the room and his eyes fixed on it.
It was a big white steamed bun. Jia Dongsheng was so scared that he looked at it carefully for several times before he reacted and quickly retreated.
"Dongsheng is back."
Qin Huairu discovered Jia Dongsheng, who was still feeding Huaihua, and her pretty face immediately turned red.
However, after all, she is a mother of three children, and Qin Huairu has a good psychological quality and recovered in a short time.
"Huaihua is hungry, so why not feed her?"
Qin Huairu's gentle and magnetic voice rang out: "Dongsheng, Mom has already chosen a name for the third girl, Huaihua."
"Sophora japonica?"
Jia Dongsheng smiled bitterly. Is this a question of historical revision? Even with a living person like him, whose wings are about to be broken, he still can't change the name of Sophora japonica?
"Why did you come up with the name Sophora japonica?" Jia Dongsheng spoke in the outer room and did not go in.
What I just saw was an accident. If I go in again, it would be intentional. The two are completely different things.
"This morning, Mom was sitting by the door mending shoe soles. When she looked up, she saw the locust trees in bloom. It occurred to her that the third girl was born during the blooming season. Since we were so destined, we decided to give her that name. It's also easier to remember."
"That's quite perfunctory."
Jia Dongsheng shook his head, then walked to the door and looked at the locust tree in the yard and the flowers on the locust tree. Not to mention, the locust flowers were quite beautiful.
"Where did Mom go?" Jia Dongsheng asked.
"He said he was going out for a stroll."
Qin Huairu responded: "He took Xiaodang out with him. He should be back soon."
"oh."
After saying "please", Jia Dongsheng was still looking at the flowers on the locust tree. Suddenly, he thought of a delicious dish that was very suitable for eating in this season.
Sophora japonica buns.
This is a delicacy that can only be eaten in April and May.
However, if you want to make locust flower buns, you must pick the locust flowers and dry them before making buns.
Do whatever comes to mind.
Jia Dongsheng said, "Sister-in-law, do we have a ladder at home?"
After so many days back, Jia Dongsheng has never seen a tool like a ladder at home.
"No, what do you want a ladder for?" Qin Huairu asked curiously.
"I see the locust flowers on the tree are blooming so beautifully. I plan to pick some, dry them, and make locust flower buns to eat."
"Sophora japonica buns?"
Qin Huairu was stunned. She had never heard that locust flowers could be used to make buns?
However, when I thought about eating the Sophora japonica buns after wrapping them, I felt a little uncomfortable. I looked down at Sophora japonica who was wolfing down her food and said, "Will it taste good if I wrap you up as a bun?"
Thinking of this, Qin Huairu's face showed maternal tenderness, and she gently shook the eating locust flower.
Since there was no ladder at home, Jia Dongsheng came out of the house and wanted to ask who in the yard had a ladder.
"Dongsheng, what are you going to do?"
Xu Damao came back pushing the cart and asked Jia Dongsheng when he saw him.
"I'm going to get a ladder and pick some locust flowers."
"Picking locust flowers?"
Xu Damao had a lot on his mind. In an instant, he had a wrong idea and chuckled, "Is it for your sister-in-law?"
"Get lost."
Jia Dongsheng laughed and cursed: "You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. I was planning to get some locust flowers, dry them and make steamed buns."
"Can locust flowers be used to make dumplings?" This was the first time Xu Damao heard of it.
"Of course."
Jia Dongsheng said, "Dry the locust flowers and add some lard. Use the lard residue to make dumplings. They'll be full of oil and delicious when you bite into them."
"Gudong."
Hearing his nonsense, Xu Damao couldn't help swallowing his saliva and said quickly, "I have a ladder at home, but Dongsheng, you have to help me pick some later. Hearing you talk about buns, I'm greedy, so I'll make some too."
"That's no problem. It's such a big locust tree, there are plenty of locust flowers."
Jia Dongsheng nodded without hesitation and followed Xu Damao to his house to get a ladder.
After setting up the ladder, Jia Dongsheng said, "Da Mao, help me hold the ladder so that it won't fall. I'll go up and pick the locust flowers."
"Leave it to me, no problem."
Xu Damao promised with his chest, and then Jia Dongsheng took a small basket and hung it on his arm, climbed up the ladder and began to pick locust flowers.
After picking for a while, a lot of people gathered around the locust tree. When they heard that Jia Dongsheng wanted to pick locust flowers to make dumplings, many people were attracted.
In the eyes of the neighbors in the yard, this locust tree is in the yard, so it belongs to the public. If you, Jia Dongsheng, can pick it, then of course they can too.
However, Xu Damao made a few sarcastic remarks, saying that locust flower buns must be made with lard residue, otherwise the buns would not taste good, which made many people give up the idea.
There's nothing you can do. These days, it's hard to have a full meal. If you get some lard scraps, you have to put less in each dish when cooking to save some oil and water. How can you bear to use it to make dumplings?
However, there are also people who want to make dumplings with locust flowers even without lard, to see if the dumplings taste better without lard. This is human nature.
"Dongsheng, how did you climb so high? Come down quickly, don't fall."
As Jia Zhang led Xiao Dang into the central courtyard, she saw Jia Dongsheng climbing up the tree and said in fear.
"Don't worry, Mom. I'm picking some locust flowers. It will be ready soon."
Jia Dongsheng smiled at Jia Zhang and continued picking.
