Early in the morning, Bai Qinghan took Bai Luoqi, Cheng Yu and Yu Lan out to see the cherry blossoms.
There is a glass plank road above the cherry blossoms, and when tourists look down from above, they see a sea of pink and purple.
The early morning sun penetrated the thin clouds, dyeing the pink and purple cherry blossom forest with a light golden glow.
"So beautiful." Bai Luoqi excitedly lay on the edge of the plank road, put his hands on the transparent glass plate, and looked down with wide eyes.
Bai Qinghan put his hands behind his back, nodded slightly, and looked a little leisurely: "This cherry blossom forest has a lot of history." There was a hint of nostalgia in his tone, and his eyes were slightly lowered.
Bai Luoqi looked up at him and said, "Grandfather, has this cherry blossom forest existed for a long time? Did you come here often before?"
"Yes, follow your grandfather Qingzhu."
When Bai Luoqi heard the words "Grandfather Qingzhu", curiosity suddenly flashed in his eyes: "Grandfather Qingzhu? Does he like this place too?"
"I like it." Bai Qinghan replied softly, his tone so gentle that it seemed to carry a hint of a sigh. "He always said that although the cherry blossoms are short-lived, they are purest when they bloom."
Cheng Yu looked towards the cherry blossom forest thoughtfully.
The wind blows, and the cherry blossoms flutter and fall like snow.
"It would be great if there was a pink sea, it would be so beautiful." Yu Lan really wanted to change back to his tail and jump in to swim a few laps.
After walking along the plank road to the end, they came to an observation deck, where they could overlook the entire cherry blossom forest, and the scenery was even more magnificent.
There is also a tea shop next to it, and the glass house does not affect the viewing.
A faint and elegant fragrance of tea wafts into the air, mixed with the scent of cherry blossoms.
Bai Qinghan glanced at the snack shop, nodded slightly, and walked in with a few people.
The shop is not big, but the layout is quite elegant. The glass walls are decorated with hand-painted cherry blossom patterns. When the sunlight shines in, it feels like you are under a cherry blossom tree.
The shop owner bowed slightly when he saw them. "Mr. Bai, it's been a long time since we last met. Are you here to enjoy the flowers again this year?"
Bai Qinghan smiled slightly and nodded, "Yes, it's just right to bring the children along." He turned his head to look at the people standing beside him.
"Hello everyone, welcome. When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, our snacks and cherry blossom tea are most popular. If you are interested, you can try them." The owner introduced enthusiastically.
"Thank you." Bai Qinghan nodded slightly and gestured for everyone to sit down.
Bai Luoqi was immediately attracted by the pink snacks on the counter.
The small and delicate cherry blossom cookies, the soft pink rice cakes, and the jelly dotted with cherry blossom petals made his eyes sparkle.
"Wow, these look delicious!" Bai Luoqi lay on the counter and muttered excitedly.
Yu Lan was also attracted by the snacks: "So cherry blossoms can be eaten?"
The owner explained, "Yes, these snacks are made with real cherry blossoms."
"Every year during the blossom season, we pickle freshly picked cherry blossoms and combine them with traditional craftsmanship to make these snacks. They are not only visually beautiful but also taste unique."
Yu Lan also nodded slightly: "This method seems to be somewhat similar to pickling plums, but after the cherry blossoms are pickled, the taste must be completely different, right?"
"That's right," the shop owner nodded. "This way of pickling cherry blossoms preserves the purest floral fragrance with a hint of natural sweetness. When made into a dessert, it tastes both floral and sweet, and is very refreshing."
"Can I have a taste?" Bai Luoqi asked impatiently.
The shop owner smiled slightly, picked up a piece of cherry blossom biscuit and handed it to him: "Of course, come, try it."
Bai Luoqi carefully took the biscuit and took a light bite.
As soon as I took a bite, the aroma of cherry blossoms hit my nose, followed by a light sweetness and the crispness of the biscuit.
Bai Luoqi's eyes lit up, and a delighted expression appeared almost immediately. "Wow, it's delicious! It's even better than I imagined!"
Seeing Bai Luoqi so happy, Cheng Yu couldn't help but want to try it.
The owner served Cheng Yu a piece of cherry blossom cheese mousse cake.
The light pink cheese mousse is studded with a few cherry blossom petals.
Cheng Yu took a sip with a spoon.
The softness of the mousse and the aroma of cherry blossoms instantly intertwine in your mouth. The fresh floral fragrance blends perfectly with the mellowness of the cheese, bringing the breath of spring.
"Delicious..." Cheng Yu exclaimed, with surprise glittering in his eyes.
"Really?" The shop owner looked at her with a smile. "This cherry blossom cheese mousse cake is one of our most popular desserts. The aroma of cherry blossoms not only enhances the taste of the cheesecake, but also makes the taste of the cake particularly fresh and light."
Bai Qinghan also took a sip of cherry blossom tea, gently put down the teacup, and looked out the window with a gentle gaze: "Although the life of cherry blossoms is short, they can bring endless memories to people at the most beautiful moments."
"We also offer a special cherry blossom wine this year. It's brewed with Guanshan cherry blossoms and is good for your health."
The shop owner's words caught Bai Qinghan's attention. He smiled slightly, looked deeply at the falling cherry blossom petals outside the window, and said lightly: "I haven't had cherry blossom wine for a long time."
"Yes, I also tried for a long time to brew the taste of my father." The brewing method of this cherry blossom wine was figured out by the owner's father.
Bai Qinghan picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
The taste of cherry blossom wine is soft and sweet, and the texture is as smooth as silk, as if the sun is shining through the clouds, warm and bright.
Yu Lan and Cheng Yu also smelled the faint fragrance of cherry blossoms.
Seeing that they liked it, the owner generously took out three pots for them to try.
The air was filled with the scent of cherry blossoms, and the conversation between the few people became more gentle.
After Yu Lan drank some wine, he kept looking for Cheng Yu to clink glasses with him.
