Jianshu had no idea what was happening at the Duan family. She had originally wanted to go to the recycling station, but she ran into such an unlucky person on the way, which meant she was out of luck. She decided not to go.
As soon as you enter the door, you will smell a rich and subtle fragrance that will make you intoxicated.
It's autumn, and the air is clear and crisp. During this time, Jianshu wakes up every day to the fragrance of osmanthus.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I always feel that everything in the house is filled with the fragrance of osmanthus.
Because an unexpected event ruined her original plan, she decided to pick some of the osmanthus flowers in the yard and make osmanthus honey.
The osmanthus tree in the yard is quite large, and there are quite a lot of osmanthus flowers on it. I won't use much of it to make osmanthus honey, and I will slowly make the rest into osmanthus cake, osmanthus tea, and osmanthus wine...
Jianshu took out a small basket from the warehouse, walked to the osmanthus tree, pulled down a branch, and picked the osmanthus flowers one by one.
After half an hour, I had only picked a tiny bit, and it was tiring to keep looking up and stretching my hands.
He looked at the tree for a while, took out some plastic film from the space, spread it on the ground, and then began to shake the tree.
Osmanthus flowers fell one by one, as if it was raining osmanthus flowers. Jianshu immediately took out his mobile phone from his space and took a photo to record this beautiful moment.
Jianshu picked up the osmanthus flowers on the plastic film and put them into the basket. Then he entered the space and prepared to make osmanthus honey.
Although the pollution is not as serious as in later generations, the freshly picked osmanthus flowers still need to be washed carefully.
First, wash the osmanthus flowers repeatedly with salt water and drain them. Then, use your mind to remove the roots and stems of the osmanthus flowers.
This is very convenient. If Jianshu hadn't removed the weeds one by one by itself, I don't know how long it would have taken.
Add rock sugar and water to the pot, stir and boil. Turn off the heat after the rock sugar melts, then add osmanthus flowers and an appropriate amount of lemon juice, cover with a lid and simmer for three minutes.
After boiling, wait for it to cool down. After cooling, it will turn into a dark yellow color and look very tempting.
After cooling, add honey and stir evenly, then put it into the glass jar prepared in advance.
I made quite a lot of osmanthus honey this time, filling about ten bottles in total. However, osmanthus honey has many uses, and can be used to make osmanthus wine, osmanthus glutinous rice balls, osmanthus thousand-layer cakes, etc.
Moreover, the space is kept fresh, so Jianshu doesn’t have to worry about making too much and not being able to finish it and wasting it.
It’s getting late and I don’t have time to cook any big dishes today. I remembered that there was a piece of tofu at home, so Jianshu prepared to make yellow croaker stewed with tofu.
Although Jianshu has space, what it lacks are only some supplies stored in the previous life, crops that can be planted, and some livestock that can be raised.
She doesn't know how to make something as technically demanding as tofu.
The key point is that people can’t even get enough to eat now, and the supply of side dishes like tofu is even less, and they can’t be bought even on the black market.
So Jianshu hasn't taken advantage of her for a while, and this time it happened to be in stock, so many people lined up to buy it. Fortunately, she was an internal staff member, so someone could reserve it for her.
As the saying goes: fish is the best combination of tofu and fish. Fish and tofu are the most classic combination, a match made in heaven.
Take out the yellow bone fish from the space, remove the internal organs, clean and drain;
Pour in appropriate amount of cooking wine and white pepper, stir evenly and marinate for 20 minutes;
Chop the onion, ginger, garlic, chili pepper and other ingredients and set aside. Soak the tofu in light salt water.
Heat oil in a pan, add ginger, garlic, chili pepper and stir-fry until fragrant. Add the marinated yellow croaker into the pan and fry until cooked.
After frying, add appropriate amount of light soy sauce and hot water and simmer slowly. After the soup boils, add a small spoonful of salt and appropriate amount of pepper and simmer for 15 minutes.
Wash the tofu, cut into pieces and put into the pot;
Simmer on low heat for fifteen minutes, add a little chicken powder, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and serve in a soup bowl.
Jianshu ate a lot at noon and is not very hungry now, so he doesn’t plan to have a staple food for dinner.
The flavors of tofu and fish slowly simmered over medium-low heat can be combined more perfectly, the tofu is more flavorful, and the soup is also very delicious.
After finishing a big bowl of yellow croaker stewed with tofu, Jianshu was also full, so he left the space after taking a half-hour walk.
Lying on the recliner under the osmanthus tree, gazing at the starry sky. She had just bought this recliner a few days ago, and her favorite thing these days is to lie on it and look at the sky.
Due to serious pollution in later generations, she could often see a sky full of stars when she was a child, but later she could not see so many, only a few scattered stars.
I still remember when I was a child, I lived in the countryside with my grandparents. In the summer, my grandparents liked to move chairs and sit at the door to chat with the neighbors next door.
And Jianshu and her group of kids gathered together to play games.
If there are a lot of people, they like to play hide-and-seek and pretend to be ghosts. Hide-and-seek in the dark is a real test of eyesight.
If you don't look carefully, you might not even notice someone climbing up the window and not moving. It's even more interesting than during the day.
Not to mention catching ghosts. Jianshu didn't dare to sleep alone until high school. Before that, he had to sleep with the lights on or with someone to accompany him.
All of this is what scared me when I was a kid. I had a lot of fun playing the game, knowing it was fake. But after the game, a group of people like to get together and tell ghost stories.
As a result, the little friends didn’t dare to go home by themselves and had to shout loudly for their families to pick them up.
When Jianshu lay in bed at night, he would start recalling all the stories they had told him. He always felt that there was a ghost in the alley near his home, waiting to turn off the lights and take him away.
After finally falling asleep, I kept having nightmares, perhaps because I dreamed about what I thought about during the day. I dreamed that I was doing homework at home and my grandma went out for something.
But after waiting for a long time, grandma didn't come back. Looking at the dark night outside and the empty house, I couldn't tell which was more terrifying.
Finally, I mustered up the courage to go out, but after calling out to her outside, I didn't hear any response from her. Not only that, it seemed like no one was in the homes of the neighbors nearby.
Jian Shu felt as if she was isolated in this small village. Terrified, she immediately ran back home, which was at least a familiar place for her.
But for some reason, when she returned home, she felt that something was wrong with this house. Although everything was exactly the same as before she left, it made her feel very unfamiliar, as if she had been moved to a different place.
Later, I entered a cycle. I ran out because of fear, then ran back when I realized something was wrong, ran out again, came back again, and finally woke up from the shock.
I don’t know how many nightmares I had as a child, but for Jianshu, the scariest ones were ghosts and zombies.
No, if I have to say, there might be another one, that is "loneliness".
