After picking a full basket of locust flowers, Jia Dongsheng climbed down the ladder from the tree.
"Da Mao, how much do you want?"
"Just give me a little, I can't eat too much."
As Xu Damao spoke, he grabbed a handful from the basket, about one-tenth of it: "That's all."
"Um."
Jia Dongsheng didn't care and immediately returned home with Jia Zhang.
"Dongsheng, I just wanted to use lard residue to make dumplings. Where can we get lard residue at home?"
As soon as she returned to the house, Jia Zhang started nagging.
"There's nothing at home, let's go buy some."
"It's easy as you say, but it's hard to even get some pork in the market right now, let alone pork fat. It's so hot."
Jia Zhang was a little worried.
"Don't worry, I can get some lard."
Jia Dongsheng took out a handful of locust flowers from the basket and said, "Mom, go take the flowers and put them in the yard to dry. When they are dry, I will get some lard to make buns."
"Okay."
Perhaps it was after Jia Dongsheng came back that Jia Zhangshi was given great confidence, feeling that her son was capable and would definitely be able to get lard. Thinking of this, Jia Zhangshi's mouth was watering.
There was no way around it. Eating meat was uncommon in that era, so a small piece of pork lard, a little bit of animal oil, and some lard residue was the main long-term source of oil and water.
"Dongsheng, what are you going to do with these locust flowers?" Jia Zhang picked up the basket and asked curiously when she saw the locust flowers that Jia Dongsheng took out.
"The locust flowers are so fresh and fragrant. I'm going to make some locust flower cakes."
"Acacia cake?"
Jia Zhang's eyes lit up and her brows furrowed slightly: "Is it delicious?"
"Of course it's beneficial."
Jia Dongsheng nodded: "You'll know when it's done."
Afterwards, Jia Dongsheng started to get busy.
Chop the locust flowers into pieces, make some batter, beat two eggs, mix them together, and then bake locust flower cakes in a pan.
After a while, the fragrance of the locust flower cake became stronger and stronger.
Both sides of the locust flower cake are baked golden yellow, the color is very charming, plus the rich locust flower fragrance, everything is so perfect.
"Uncle, it smells so good."
"I'm hungry, Uncle."
Banggeng and Xiaodang were standing not far from the stove, staring at the locust flower cakes that had just been baked in the pan, their saliva almost flowing like a river.
Not to mention the two little ones, even Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu were looking at the locust flower cakes, and the sound of swallowing from time to time showed that they were also very greedy.
"Haha, just wait a little longer, you can eat it soon."
Laughing heartily, Jia Dongsheng looked at Jia Zhang and said, "Mom, I put two jars on the table. Did you see them?"
"I see. What did you buy?"
Neither Jia Zhang nor Qin Huairu could read, so the milk powder and malted milk were just placed there, and they didn't know what they were.
"Powdered milk and malted milk."
"Powdered milk, malted milk?"
Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu had only heard of these two things but had never seen them, so they opened their eyes wide, ran to the table, and looked at them carefully.
“This thing is milk powder, right?”
As Jia Zhang looked at it, she sighed, "This is the first time I've seen it. I heard it's delicious."
"I've heard that it can replace breast milk and be given to newborn babies."
Qin Huairu turned her head and looked at Jia Dongsheng with shining eyes, and an inexplicable look flashed in her eyes.
She just felt that Jia Dongsheng must have bought this fan just for her.
Qin Huairu didn't know why she thought so, but she believed in her feelings.
Of course, if Jia Dongsheng knew Qin Huairu's thoughts, he would definitely say to her: "Your feeling is wrong. I just want to try what the milk powder of this era tastes like."
But Jia Dongsheng didn't know, so this misunderstanding took root in Qin Huairu's heart.
"Dongsheng, I heard that this milk powder and malted milk are both delicious."
Jia Zhang came up to Jia Dongsheng and whispered something.
At this time, her eyes were no longer fixed on the locust flower cakes, but she wanted to taste the malted milk and milk powder. However, she was too embarrassed to say it directly as she was too old, so she could only hint at it to Jia Dongsheng.
"hehe."
Jia Dongsheng understood Jia Zhang's thoughts at a glance and said with a smile, "Mom, this locust flower cake will be a little dry for us to eat tonight. Let's each make a cup of milk powder and malted milk and eat it with the locust flower cake."
"It's a good opportunity to try this milk powder and malted milk, what do you think?"
"Okay, okay."
Hearing Jia Dongsheng say this, Jia Zhang hurriedly nodded, smiling expectantly.
Soon, the locust flower cakes were baked, and the milk powder and malted milk were also prepared.
Inside the room, there was the aroma of locust flowers from locust flower cakes, the milky flavor of milk powder, and the sweetness of malted milk. The mixture of so many flavors made everyone in the room's stomachs growl.
That’s right, everyone is hungry after smelling the aroma.
"Let's eat."
Jia Dongsheng greeted them, then picked up a locust flower cake, took a bite, and nodded: "Well, it tastes good. Mom, sister-in-law, you guys should eat quickly too."
"Okay."
Jia Zhang no longer held back. She picked up the bowl of malted milk and drank it happily. The sweet taste really fascinated her: "It's really delicious."
Qin Huairu was the same. She ate locust flower cakes and drank malted milk, feeling a sense of happiness in her heart.
