Chapter 38 Osmanthus Cake

When the busy days pass, it seems that every day is very long, but in fact, before you know it, time has passed quietly.

Wu Fei Rabbit goes, time passes, and the time has entered August.

Guizi falls in the middle of the month, and the sky is fragrant and the clouds float out.

Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the old osmanthus tree in Osmanthus Village has begun to open, and the fragrance fills the entire village. Even Li Xin's house is far away, but there is always the fragrance of osmanthus brought by the wind. If you don't smell it closely, the smell is not strong, and a faint wisp is scattered in the air, which is refreshing.

It is said that Jiangnan has three autumn laurels, ten miles of lotus, simple sentences, but it has already made people yearn for it, this is the magic of Jiangnan! The prosperity of Jiangnan has existed since ancient times, and the fertile soil, suitable climate, and developed transportation are all factors that have contributed to the prosperity of Jiangnan since ancient times. There is a lot of water in the south of the Yangtze River, and the water and land transportation is also very developed, the outside is the sea, and the various rivers inside are also criss-crossed.

The southeast shape wins, the three Wu metropolises, and Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times. The smoke willow paints the bridge, the wind curtain is green, and there are 100,000 people. Cloud trees surround the embankment. The angry waves roll frost and snow, and the sky is endless. The city is a jewel, and the household is rich and luxurious.

Heavy lakes are stacked on top of each other. There are three autumn laurels and ten miles of lotus. Qiang tube clear, Lingge flooded the night, frolicking and fishing lotus baby. Thousands of horsemen have high teeth. Listen to the flute and drum while drunk, and enjoy the smoke. The picture of the different day will be good, and return to Fengchi Kua.

Liu Yong's poem "Wanghai Tide" can be said to have written the prosperous scene in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is no wonder that some people say that the Jin people invaded the Song Dynasty precisely because of Liu Yong's "Wanghai Tide". Although this is not the history that Li Xin is familiar with, I think there are common places! She really wanted to go out and walk around and see the bustling scene.

She has been in this world for more than half a year, and she has read some books, and the words of the books are strangely the same as the words she knows, but this is not any place in her cognition. Not the previous life, not any of the dynasties in the history that you are familiar with. This is a place called the Tianchen Dynasty, and the capital city is Jiankang. She remembered that in the history of her previous life, the ancient Jiankang was Nanjing, but she didn't know whether Jiankang here was equivalent to Nanjing.

However, Jiankang here is also in the south, and the book describes it as very prosperous, maybe if you have time, you can really go for a walk.

Speaking of which, this dynasty is also very strange, as if the geography of this country is still very vast, with its own characteristics in the east, west, north and south. However, it is wonderful to build a capital in the south, as if in history, the dynasties that built the capital in the south are short-lived dynasties! Or it is only in the south of the Yangtze River. The Southern Dynasties of the Northern and Southern Dynasties were very short-lived, and although Nanjing had the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, it actually didn't add up to much time as the capital. Then the Southern Tang Dynasty was also a short-lived dynasty, and after that, the Southern Song Dynasty was more than a hundred years, and that was only half of the country.

The first capital of the Ming Dynasty was also in Nanjing, but when the Ming Dynasty became the ancestor, the capital was moved to Beijing. Speaking of which, the southern capital is still too biased, and it is not easy to govern the whole country.

On this day, when Li Xin came back from the field, he took a look at the old laurel tree from a distance. It is indeed a lot of flowers, the leaves are green, red and orange, and it looks very beautiful. Small and small flowers are dotted between the branches and leaves, which are not too obvious, but they are not completely submerged.

"The dull and light yellow body is soft, and the love is far away, only fragrant. Why should it be light blue and light red, it is the first class in flowers. Li Yi'an's words are a good portrayal of osmanthus.

Looking at the osmanthus flowers on the tree, Li Xin remembered the delicious and refreshing osmanthus cake. In fact, as long as you pickle the sugar osmanthus, you can make osmanthus cake at any time, but it seems that only the mid-autumn season is the most suitable for the occasion! The moon is in the treetops, the osmanthus flowers are blooming all over the tree, the fragrance is curling, and then eating the osmanthus cake seems to be a very beautiful thing.

The next day, Li Xin took a wooden basin and took the moon incense to the village to pick osmanthus flowers. At this time, there are many people who come to pick osmanthus flowers, people from the village will come to pick them, and people from surrounding villages and towns will also come to pick them. Generally, picking a little flower, the people in the village are allowed, but they are not allowed to hurt the tree.

Their sisters came early, and no one had come to pick them at this time. In fact, generally picking osmanthus is to make sachets and the like, and the people in the village don't come to pick them much, but some little girls will like to pick a little occasionally. In the early morning, there is still a little dew on the osmanthus, and it looks even more beautiful. Both of them moved higher stools, and when they stood on them, they could reach the branches.

After picking a wooden pot of osmanthus flowers, Li Xin took the moon incense home. The family usually buys a lot of white sugar to eat, so the sugar is a little. Wash the osmanthus and dry it, and then a layer of osmanthus and a layer of white sugar are pickled into the jar. After marinating for a while, the osmanthus candy can be eaten.

The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Xin took Yuexiang to make osmanthus cakes together, and now Yueting has a puppy to play, but she doesn't pester Yuexiang much, and Yuexiang doesn't have to take her all day long, and she can also help Li Xin. The two of them did it, but they made a lot of osmanthus cakes. Taste a piece, sweet and refreshing, delicate slag, rich cinnamon.

Early in the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Xin took Yuexiang and Yueting to the town. The Mid-Autumn Festival Wenbo and Wenhao are also on holiday, and after school yesterday afternoon, it will be a holiday, and you can rest for a whole day today. Seeing Li Xin come with his two younger sisters, the two brothers were also very happy. Now we don't see each other every day like before, but when we do, it's closer. Yuexiang brought the puppy with her, and Wen Hao took her to play with the puppy.

After sitting at home for a while, Li Xin took a few younger siblings out shopping, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there are many mooncakes sold on the street. knew that there were all kinds of mooncakes sold on the street, so Li Xin didn't make them himself, but took his younger siblings to buy some. When they arrived on the street, the sisters and brothers went to the Pinxiang Pavilion first. Li Xin brought some osmanthus cakes to Shopkeeper Sun, and he can be regarded as a familiar person, so he should give some holiday gifts!

In the case of moon cakes, on such a day, Shopkeeper Sun must have received a lot, so she didn't buy them.

Although it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Pinxiang Pavilion is also open. As soon as Li Xin entered the door, he happened to meet the shopkeeper Sun.

"It's really time for Miss Li to come, even if you don't come today, I also want to find you tomorrow. Let's go to the private room and talk about it! Shopkeeper Sun smiled and beckoned Li Xin's sisters and brothers to go upstairs. Li Xin thought, I'm afraid there is news about those potted plants. It's been more than a month, and it's time for news.

If you can't sell it anymore, what is the value of the viewing!
