Chapter 52 Osmanthus Rice Cake
There were two large baskets full of fruits, and the three of them worked together and finished them quickly.
After finishing, Grandma Qi and Qin Zheng hung the fruits to dry on the mats.
By the time all the work was done, it was already late at night. After cleaning up, Tang Wan no longer had the energy to do anything else, so she took a shower and went straight to bed.
Because Tang Wan would sleep here from time to time, Qin Zheng had almost gotten used to sleeping in the utility room after cleaning up in Dongzi's room. He would only go back to his own room when Dongzi came.
At this moment, he had already consciously gone to the east room.
The night is as dark as water, and I have no dreams all night.
When Tang Wan woke up in the morning, she was still a little dazed when she smelled a sweet smell coming from the kitchen.
She got up and walked to the door of the main room. She was suddenly faced with the dazzling sunlight outside and squinted her eyes because she couldn't adapt.
Standing in the yard, turning over the fruits that had been drying last night, Qin Zheng saw that she still looked a little sleepy, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
Grandma Yi saw Tang Wanyi from the kitchen window and said, "Wanyi, hurry up and wash up. I made some delicious food today."
Tang Wan, who hadn't fully woken up yet, immediately perked up when she heard the word "delicious." She rubbed her eyes and walked to the kitchen door. She stuck her head out and asked with a smile, "Grandma, what delicious food did you make today? I could smell it in my dream."
Grandma looked at her and lifted the lid of the pot from a corner.
The aroma hits your nose, the fragrance of rice mixed with the scent of flowers.
"What is this?" The steam rising from the pot made Tang Wan unable to see what was in the pot, but the aroma already revealed its deliciousness.
"This is a rice cake with sweet osmanthus flowers. Here, I'll put this one in your mouth first. Go wash up and try it quickly." Grandma Qi used chopsticks to pick up one from the pot and handed it to Tang Wan. The rice cake was dotted with sweet osmanthus flowers in the middle.
"Okay." Tang Wan was now fully awake.
After Tang Wan finished washing up, the sweet-scented osmanthus rice cake that Grandma Qi had taken out in advance had cooled down a little and was ready to eat.
The first bite is a little sticky and chewy, and there is a little sweet rice fragrance in the mouth. The osmanthus is not much to increase the fragrance, but it also adds a little taste.
"It's so delicious. It's such a pleasure to eat the food cooked by grandma." Tang Wan's praise came from the heart.
Tang Wan felt that she was lucky to be able to eat such a meal now. This was something that could not be bought with money.
"Girls are always sweet-talkers. No matter what you make for A Zheng to eat, don't expect him to say a good word." Grandma said half-truthfully.
"I have always praised you." After chopping wood and washing his hands, Qin Zheng walked to the kitchen and stood next to Tang Wan, blocking most of the light.
"Okay, let's eat quickly. We have to go up the mountain after eating. Let's pick some today to show off to the team." Grandma Qi lifted the lid of the pot and called Qin Zheng to come and eat.
Probably because there was no one else here, Grandma Qi spoke very directly.
Tang Wan was also used to hearing Grandma Qi speak like this.
"Just to show off for the team" is exactly what Grandma said. After all, she doesn't lack these fruits to exchange for that little bit of food. But you still have to show off and don't let others think that you really don't need it.
It can be seen that Grandma Yi is well-educated and has not suffered much.
The food, clothing and other daily necessities are not like those of this era, or rather, not like those of people in a small village like this.
Just as Grandma said, they went up the mountain after dinner.
It was not so easy to see the main group today, as they all went further inland.
On their way, they saw that there were already a lot of fruits on the mountain foot where people had just set out for the town. It was obvious that these people in the village had been working hard all night.
