【Chapter 052】 Osmanthus is fragrant

After finishing the sales of longan, Liu Rui's life fell into calm again, and he proceeded step by step every day. Picking vegetables and selling vegetables, making wine and delivering them, or going to the orchard to remove weeds, patrolling, chatting with parents every evening, and looking at the beautiful scenery up and down the mountain, although it is dull, it is very pleasant.

Sometimes, Liu Rui even wonders, if he went to college, would he have the opportunity he has now?

Perhaps, like Zhou Yi, after class every day, he went to the court to play, and by the way, he screamed a few mm, and at night he went to the Internet café with his roommate to team up to play StarCraft.

A few days ago, Liu Rui received a letter from Zhou Yi and some other classmates, in which they described various aspects of college life to Liu Rui, which made Liu Rui quite emotional.

There are many turning points in life, and the future is like chocolate in a box, you never know what the next one will taste like.

Lost the opportunity to go to college, but with Shennong space and the hardships and joys of starting a business, Liu Rui really couldn't judge whether he was better or worse?

My father's injury was a turning point, which allowed me to say goodbye to school and really set foot in agricultural production, supporting the burden of the family. At the beginning, Liu Rui was really a little unbearable, after all, so many things at home had to be done by himself. However, after surviving the most uncomfortable stage at the beginning, Liu Rui, who began to be familiar with farm work, quickly got started.

At that stage, Liu Rui's mind was full of earning money, paying off debts, and then returning to school to continue studying.

Obtaining Shennong space is another turning point!

Since he had Shennong Space, Liu Rui found that even in the countryside, the vast world was promising. Especially after tasting the sweetness in the cooperation with 'South Beauty', Liu Rui's thoughts are even more.

For him, just reading a book is no longer enough to satisfy his inner thoughts.

Vegetables, the simplest crop, can be moistened by space spring water to create a stable income project, what if it is exchanged for fruit trees, medicinal herbs, and more higher-value cash crops?

Just by watering the longan tree a few times, the quality and yield of the longan have been greatly improved, and this year's income has at least doubled compared to the projection. If it is watered with space spring water all year round, the Longan Garden may be able to become a demonstration garden! 、

Liu Rui has a lot of ideas in his heart, but he has to implement it step by step and slowly.

However, the number one problem in front of Liu Rui is that his parents seem to have a vague idea of returning to school early recently, which makes Liu Rui very worried.

After staying at home for a long time, Liu Rui suddenly liked this kind of leisurely and comfortable life without exams, especially after having Shennong space, Liu Rui felt that it didn't matter whether he went to school or not. According to the current development trend, it should not be a problem to earn more than 100,000 yuan a year, so why bother to study?

Perhaps, in different situations, everyone's thinking will change differently!

However, the stakes are high, and we have to think about it in the long run.

In the early morning, the magpies on the osmanthus tree began to chirp, waking Liu Rui's family from their sleep. During this time, the little magpie in the magpie nest was learning to fly under the guidance of his parents, and the little magpie who had not yet mastered the flying skills was forced to land in the yard from time to time.

Xiao Hei was very interested in these chirping little guys, and always wanted to go up and hold them, so frightened that the magpie parents rushed forward nervously, spread their wings and screamed, and drove away the somewhat timid little Hei.

The ability of wild animals to adapt to life is unparalleled, and within a few days, the little magpies can fly up and down in the yard, which makes the yard a little more lively. Although the four little magpies have only learned to fly, they are extremely curious and bold, and often go to the yard dam to peck at Zhang Guizhi's dried peanuts and mung beans.

Soon, Xiao Hei became enemies with these little magpies, and he stayed on the yard all day long trying to catch these troublemakers. It's a pity that it is still very clumsy to run, and those little magpies are very clever, fluttering their wings and flying up the branches when the wind blows, and provoking Xiao Hei.

This kind of drama is played out countless times a day, and the final ending is often the little magpie chirping happily in the tree, and the little black lying under the tree gasping for breath. A few of Blackie's henchmen are very unfond of this kind of activity, and when the sun is big, they are smart enough to hide in their cages and not come out.

Maybe they ate vegetables poured with space spring water, although it was only about ten days, these little rabbits grew into fist-sized, fluffy, and looked very cute. However, unlike those well-behaved and docile rabbits, these hares are very clever, even if Liu Rui wants to catch one, it will take a lot of effort.

Last weekend, Liu Zhi and Tongtong didn't go home because of the Mid-Autumn Festival lessons, and if they see the huge changes in the little rabbits when they come back this time, I'm afraid these little rabbits will be ravaged.

Thinking of this, Liu Rui couldn't help but show a smile on his face.

The air is filled with the rich fragrance of osmanthus flowers, and from time to time one or two inflorescences will be scattered on the ground with the wind, like elves falling to the earth.

These days, Liu Rui has poured space spring water on the osmanthus tree in the yard, which has made some unknown changes in the osmanthus tree.

Because when there is space, the osmanthus has been blooming one after another, and the spring water has not been able to increase the number of flowers, but it has made the fragrance of the osmanthus more intense. Many villagers passing under the Liujiayuan Dam can smell the overflowing aroma, which is very amazing.

The season of osmanthus blooming in September and October is also the time for every household to make osmanthus cakes, and the smell of osmanthus fragrance will waft out from the whole Shangliang Village at this time of year. Perhaps for many children in Shangliang Village, the taste of osmanthus cake is an indelible memory of childhood.

When I was a child, because my family guarded these two huge osmanthus trees, Liu Rui and his younger siblings could eat the freshest and most delicious osmanthus cake every autumn. For them, the annual osmanthus cake is not only a delicacy, but also infiltrated with strong maternal love.

Knowing that Liu Rui and the others were going home for the weekend this week, Zhang Guizhi started to get busy two days ago.

First of all, the plans taken from the trees are carefully selected, the withered, rotten flowers are removed, and the dust left on them is washed. Put the osmanthus in a steamer and steam it, take it out and let it cool, stir it well with wild honey, and it becomes a sugar osmanthus. Most of the sugar osmanthus sold in the market is made of maltose or white sugar, and the taste is not as good as the faint fragrance of honey.

The prepared sugar osmanthus, sugar, and peanut oil are added to the steamed glutinous rice, and then pounded repeatedly with a thick rolling pin to make several raw materials stick together and become a whole. Finally, use a rolling pin to press the finely ground sesame seeds into the glutinous rice, and soon, the soft and sweet sesame osmanthus cake is made.

Every year to make osmanthus cake, Zhang Guizhi has to do it himself, every ingredient must be carefully selected, and the process is also very strict, perhaps only in this way can the strong maternal love be expressed.

The faint fragrance of osmanthus and the fragrance of osmanthus cake were mixed together, and all kinds of wonderful sounds lingered in his ears, and Liu Rui felt a warm breath lingering around him.

However, just as Liu Rui was lying under the grape trellis, closing his eyes and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere, a burst of giggling laughter broke the silence.

You can hear the little girl's unbridled laughter from afar, and Xiao Hei is a little unwilling to scream in the middle, but Liu Rui's ears are automatically filtered out.

Liu Rui looked back and saw that the little girl in the school uniform was holding Xiao Hei in her arms, and her right hand kept grabbing Xiao Hei's top melon skin and ravaging it, making Xiao Hei aggrieved and keep screaming. Liu Zhi honestly pushed the car into the yard behind the little girl, looking at his sweaty appearance, there was no shortage of little girls on the road.

Although Liu Zhi and Tongtong are twins who eat the same pot of rice, their surnames are very different. Liu Zhi's surname is slightly introverted, he usually doesn't talk much, and he is an honest surname like his parents; Tongtong has been unpredictable and overly lively since she was a child, but it is similar to her brother-in-law Zhang Zhenzu's surname.

"What smells so good?" The little girl twitched her nose for a moment, and then cheered, "Yay! Long live Mommy! I've made osmanthus cake! ”

Tongtong's sudden shout startled Xiao Hei in her arms, and she could only pull down her ears and cover her ear holes, which was so funny that Liu Rui couldn't help laughing.

The return of the little girl completely made the whole quiet yard lively, and after ravaging Xiao Hei enough, she began to rush to the edge of the cage again, ready to play with the little rabbits as pets. A few little rabbits were also very clever, and when they saw Tongtong approaching, they jumped out of the cage one by one and slipped away along the wall.

The little girl jumped up and down in the yard, but Liu Zhi was very well-behaved, sitting next to Liu Rui and talking to Liu Rui about things in school.

"Is Tongtong like this at school?" Smiled and pointed to the little girl who was teasing the bird, Liu Rui asked his younger brother.

"How is that possible? The whole class thought she was a lady, and only I knew about her savagery! Liu Zhi shook his head in pain.

"Liu Zhi, what are you talking about?" It seems that Liu Zhi's voice is a little loud, and the little girl's ears are very sharp.

"Didn't say anything?" Liu Zhi was so frightened that he waved his hands and said, "My eldest brother and I told you that you are very popular at school!" ”

"Humph!" The little girl made an expression that counted you as acquaintance.

Looking at the performance of the brother and sister, Liu Rui couldn't help but laugh dumbly, it seems that Tongtong usually bullied Liu Zhi enough.

The two little guys went home, making the Liu family's dinner a little more lively, and cheerful laughter rang out from time to time. Liu Jiahong, who had a small amount of rice in Pingshuli, was infected by this, and he also added half a bowl of rice and ate quite happily.
