She frowned and looked to the west, and saw a tree with a crooked neck on the hillside swinging in the wind, and a white flower blooming on the tree, which looked beautiful.

"This ...... This is a locust flower......"

[Successful identification: Robinia pseudoacacia, also known as acacia, is a deciduous tree of the genus Robinia pseudoacacia in the legume family, native to North America, and is now widely introduced to Asia, Europe and other places. The flowers are white, fragrant, spike-shaped, and the honey produced by the black locust flowers is very sweet and the honey yield is also high. But many people may not know that black locust flowers are actually edible, of course, some people who know know and even eat them, but they are generally eaten raw, slightly sweet and fragrant!]

The people in Ma Tianyao's world, for the black locust, have nothing to do with food at all, they will only use the dense wood of the black locust tree to build houses, or build tables, chairs and benches.

Most of the black locust trees are wild.

is like the tree that Ma Tianyao saw.

"Brother Sun, whose family is this locust tree?"

Ma Tianyao originally wanted to pick it directly, but she had just seen Wang Chen being ripped off, so she cautiously asked Sun Dafu.

She pointed to the black locust tree on the hillside, and Sun Dafu shook his head.

"This is wild, not anyone's, what's the matter, Boss Ma wants to collect wood? ”

"The mountain behind your house?"

Ma Tianyao subconsciously twisted his head, and then his eyes widened, behind Sun Dafu's house is the forest area, and when I look at it, a large area of white flowers is full of wild acacia trees, and it has reached the flowering period at this moment, at most a week, and it is basically about to fall.

"Boss Ma?"

Seeing that Ma Tianyao frowned and didn't speak, Sun Dafu shouted, Ma Tianyao hurriedly retracted his thoughts and responded with a smile.

"Oh...... Hehe, I don't accept wood, I'm ...... Oh, you have taken care of Boss Wang for so long, and I have nothing to thank, so I plan to cook a meal for everyone before leaving to express my gratitude, that ...... Brother Sun, can you help me pick some acacia flowers?"

"Excerpt...... What do you do when you pick flowers?"

Sun Dafu scratched his head, still didn't understand what Ma Tianyao meant, but he still nodded in agreement, walked two steps, and called two or three other villagers, Ma Tianyao clasped his hands and shouted behind him.

"By the way, Brother Sun, if it's convenient, pick more, and I'll invite the whole village to dinner. ”

Some villagers who didn't understand only heard the words 'please eat', and immediately ran over to help pick them.

Acacia trees are the most pitiful, they begin to be violently picked every year when they are young in flowering, and the branches of both large and small trees are broken, and some even have their 'heads' cut off.

But the next year, the tree returned to its normal state, and grew more fiercely than the previous year, as if expressing its indomitability in this silent language, and then underwent a second baptism of violence.

The villagers do not know how to be polite and polite, nor do they understand the mind of the acacia tree, for them, these are wild trees, and it is a thorn to cut down the tree for cooking and cooking.

After Sun Dafu climbed the tree, he spat on the palm of his hand, lifted the woodcutter in his hand, and went down with a knife, and three or four thumb-thick branches were cut off at the root, and the branches and leaves fell down.

Some others helped to drag down the branches, while others went to cut down the branches of flowers from other trees.

In less than half an hour, Sun Dafu's house had become a sea of flowers, Ma Tianyao called Qin Huixia and several other women in the village, each holding a basket and carrying the acacia flowers and leaves into different baskets.

Qin Huixia and the other women were all confused, and asked her with a smile after a while.

"Boss Ma...... Didn't you invite everyone to dinner? What are you doing with these flowers......

"That's right, just invite everyone to eat acacia flowers......

"......Huh? Isn't this a cow? ”

Qin Huixia was more realistic, and said in her heart that the rich people in the city were all picking on the door, but she didn't expect that the person in front of her was simply a scalding chicken in cold water--- and she couldn't pull out a dime!

This acacia flower is originally wild in your own village, okay?

The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt in her heart, her face was slightly displeased, and she said in a loud voice.

"Boss Ma, this acacia flower is not for people to eat, usually the foreheads are very troublesome to feed the cattle, you don't really want to let the foreheads be cattle and horses to eat grass, right, eating acacia flowers are not relieved?

She brushed off the locust leaves in the basket next to Ma Tianyao, and the other women immediately echoed.

"Yes, you are not cattle and sheep, and you can't eat leaves......"

"The Ejia family used to eat locust flowers when they couldn't open the pot, and they could be swallowed raw, but this locust tree leaves are simply fed to pigs......

……

Seeing that the voices were boiling, Ma Tianyao gradually had an uncontrollable posture, coughed vigorously, and said with a smile.

"Sisters-in-law, don't worry, stay and follow me, I promise you won't let you eat the leaves raw...... In fact, this thing is not good or bad, it is divided into how you do it, for example, if you are given a fish, the taste of braised fish, barbecue, steamed, and minced garlic is different. ”

She didn't explain too much, and after finishing speaking, she continued to pick acacia flowers, although the others were full of suspicions and complaints, but they didn't dare to go too far, after all, it was the uncle who owed money this year, and they were still counting on Ma Tianyao to help Wang Chen repay the money.

After picking all these acacia flowers, a dozen pots were picked, Ma Tianyao put the leaves of the locust tree into the locust flowers, and talked to a few women about the method.

"Now let's go to the kitchen, pour the right amount of flour and water into the acacia flowers and start stirring, then add the right amount of salt to enhance the flavor, and add oil to prevent them from sticking to each other. Stir until all the acacia flowers are covered with flour without sticking to each other, and it's almost the same. ”

……

These women all know how to cook, so she probably talked about it once, and the others understood it.

Ma Tianyao said while doing it and explained the method to everyone.

"Put the stirred acacia flowers on the steaming drawer and steam them now, remember, be sure to spread a layer of wet rags on the inside of the steaming drawer! This is to prevent the acacia flowers from being bubbled and sticky by the steam, put them in the pot and steam for about ten minutes!"

Hearing this, most women understand that in the countryside, 'steaming' is a panacea, and what can be eaten or not can be eaten as soon as it is steamed in a steamer.

Corn, sweet potatoes, turnips, potatoes can be steamed, some wild vegetables can be steamed, and even some wild grasses, leaves, and flowers can be steamed.

Especially in spring, especially the lazy and green women of Sunjiagou, while they are poor, they have also become famous wild vegetable experts.

Tidbits of wild Gou trees, elm money, gray cabbage, alfalfa, broom green, purslane, wheat bottle grass and so on.

These things can be mixed with a little flour and a little water, and they can be put on the steamer, and the steaming out is not only hungry but also fragrant. Read the latest chapter of "Spicy Little Chef Niang Paw Book House" for free for the first time.
