Chapter 60 Sweet and Refreshing Acacia Flower Cake 2
Clusters of fresh locust flowers like white pearls were hidden among the emerald green branches and leaves, and Zhou Yu, who was riding on the branches, picked a lot of trouble, and picked most of the basket after a while.
The sky gradually brightened, Xianyu Bay also became clear, Zhou Yu, who was picking acacia flowers, suddenly heard a few crisp children's laughter in the distance, and wondered, how could there be children's laughter near Xianyu Bay so early?
So Zhou Yuhua didn't pick the flowers, but stood up from the branch and looked into the distance. In a short time a group of men and women came out of the distant woods, both men and women, with sticks and baskets in their hands, and a few little ones also bouncing up and down behind the adults with a small basket, laughing like silver bells from time to time.
The group of people didn't seem to be in a hurry, and walked towards the locust forest where Zhou Yu was while chatting.
At this time, Zhou Yu finally saw clearly, aren't these people the villagers of Zhoujia Village? It is estimated that they also came to pick locust flowers and go home to make locust cakes, and it seems that they are not alone.
Sure enough, when the group came to the locust forest, they began to beat the locust flowers with the sticks in their hands, and the children picked them up under the tree with small baskets, and from time to time they put a few mouthfuls into their mouths.
Zhou Yu took a closer look and found that among these people were all acquaintances, including Uncle Da Kui's family, the second trial of the fifth master's family with his daughter Nannan and nephew Tiedan, and the third uncle of the Liu family.
Aunt Da Kui said happily while fighting: "Her third aunt, although this acacia flower bloomed late this year, it is too rare to look at how white and tender it is." This time you can get some more back, the old and young in this family like to eat acacia cake, I steamed two large pots last year and the family hasn't eaten enough. ”
The third aunt of the fifth master's family chuckled: "Second sister-in-law, who said it wasn't?" You see how fresh this acacia flower is, the taste is definitely not bad. I also steamed two large pots last year, and my family also shouted that I didn't eat enough, and today I really have to make something for the elderly and children to eat enough. ”
After speaking, he grabbed a bunch of acacia flowers and put them in his mouth and chewed them, probably thinking that this bunch was not enjoyable, and then ate another bunch after eating.
Zhao Dakui and Liu Laosan had sharp eyes, and they found the largest locust tree at a glance, so they ran to the big locust tree with a wooden stick, and when they got closer, they waved the wooden stick and were about to start fighting.
Zhou Yu on the tree saw the movements of the two uncles clearly, if these two sticks were to be hit, even if the legs kept going, the arms would have to be broken. Zhou Yu, who originally wanted to come down and say hello again, had to shout in the tree: "Uncle Da Kui, Uncle Shuigen, don't fight!" ”
The two people who had gathered enough strength under the big locust tree and wanted to smash a stick were frightened when they heard this sound, this big locust tree was fucking successful! So they took the sticks and ran away. In fact, it is not to blame that these two people are timid, this big locust tree itself is thick and straight, and the branches are luxuriant, and the person who is hidden above cannot be seen at all.
When the two of them ran near their families and were about to shout to their families to run to the village together, Zhao Dakui had the courage to turn his head and look back, and saw a young descendant slipping out of the big locust tree.
Seeing that the two uncles were scared away, Zhou Yu, who had already gotten off the tree, groaned helplessly, what do you call this? Picking a locust flower can also scare people, but these two uncles are too bold, right?
But you can't let people be scared home, right? Zhou Yu also chased after him, shouting loudly as he ran: "Uncle Da Kui, Uncle Shuigen, don't run, it's me, I'm the second dog!" ”
Zhao Dakui took a closer look and found that the descendant who came was indeed the second dog, and this voice couldn't be wrong, so he grabbed Liu Shuigen, who wanted to escape.
When Zhou Yu came closer, Zhao Dakui blushed and said with some complaints: "Ergouzi, what are you doing?" Why did you run to the big locust tree early in the morning? Alas, your voice almost scared me and Mizune to death!
Zhou Yu touched his head embarrassedly and said: "Uncle Da Kui, Uncle Shuigen, I'm really sorry for the two of you, in fact, I was picking locust flowers on the big locust tree just now, I didn't expect you to pick locust flowers too, I just wanted to come down and say hello to you, who knows that the two of you are going to smash this guy before I come down, do you think I can make no sound?" Otherwise, I'll have to be smashed and seriously injured by the two of you. ”
After listening to Zhou Yudi's words, the women around him were directly angry at the head of the family, especially Aunt Shuigen was so angry that she almost jumped up, "Shuigen, you said that you are in your forties, why are you still so stunned?" What if you and Da Kui's stupid strength really smash the two dogs? When the time comes, the old lady will definitely fight with you, and you still think that others are scaring you, so you two deserve to be scared to death like bears! ”
"Yes, why did this Shuigen family scold themselves too?" However, when he thought of this woman's wild pepper-like temperament, Zhao Dakui, who was tall, didn't dare to speak out with a big face that was flushed, and as for Liu Shuigen, he didn't even have the idea of resisting, so he nodded straight to the eyebrows......
Zhou Yu is definitely a baby bump in the eyes of these women in Zhoujia Village, although he was a little stubborn when he was a child, but this kid is rare, and now it is even more amazing. And he helped the families make a lot of money two days ago, and with this child's kindness, he may not know how many good things are waiting for him in the future.
So now for these women in Zhoujia Village, whoever can't get along with Ergouzi can't get along with themselves, and they can't get along with the whole village, so they have to attack them in groups.
Not to mention that Zhao Dakui and Liu Shuigen were educated by their own women, Nan Nan and Tie Dan had already run to Zhou Yu's side at this time, and shouted one by one the second dog brother, hoping to climb the big tree to play like the second dog brother, but they were taught a hard lesson by their aunt and mother before they gave up.
At the end, the two men who were red-eared on the ground climbed the big locust tree like Zhou Yu, picked the locust flowers from above and threw them on the ground, and Zhou Yu also borrowed some light to fill the soil basket.
After greeting everyone, Zhou Yu walked to the mountain next to him, because he still had to collect some wild grapes. I don't know when the wild grapes in the mountains began to appear, as long as they are near the place where there is water, there are these things. Wild grapes are not as big as those "giant peaks" and "longans" planted in the ground, and the taste is sour, but if you want to taste it carefully, this wild grape is sweet and sour, sweet and sour, fragrant, crisp and refreshing, so that people want to eat more and more until they eat sour.
Since almost no one picked the wild grapes on the mountain, and they bore a bunch of grapes, Zhou Yu picked more than a dozen bunches in less than ten minutes, and then carried it in his hand with rattan wear, and walked happily along the mountain road to the village.
When I got home, it was just after nine o'clock, my father probably went to work in the field, and Wang Guilan was pushing the mill alone in the yard to grind the wheat, and the golden wheat slowly broke under the pressure of the big mill, and after countless times of grinding, the wheat turned into flour and wheat bran.
Seeing that her son was back, Wang Guilan stopped pushing the mill and gave her son a basin of water for him to wipe his face. Zhou Yu couldn't refuse his mother's kindness, quickly washed his face, took over his mother's work just now, and continued to push the mill.
Wang Guilan picked out the locust flowers in the earthen basket, picked out some weeds and old flowers, and then gently washed these tender locust flowers with a large pot of water. After the last time, take these washed locust flowers to the curtain for steaming steamed buns and purify the water.
Zhou Yu had already ground the noodles at this time and began to sift the noodles with a fine-eye sieve, while Wang Guilan washed the wild grapes and mashed them in a porcelain basin with a rolling pin, and the wild grape juice also seeped out.
After the two were busy for a while, the preparation of the acacia cake was finally completed, and the next step was to make the acacia cake.
Put the washed locust flowers into a vegetable pot, no need to add water, directly add the sifted wheat noodles to it, and add some fine wheat bran at the same time, mix these with chopsticks and start to spread them flat on the curtain of steamed buns, and sprinkle a layer of wild grape juice on top of the last one.
Huaihua cake can be made into a block or into a bunch, mainly the degree of drying after washing and the amount of wheat flour, the drying is lighter, the wheat flour is more, and then compacted before steaming is lumpy, otherwise it is a bunch. Adults like to eat lumps, large pieces of food, and the heart has a fragrance.
Children eat a bunch of the best, when the child opens a small mouth that is not much bigger than the acacia flower, with a pink and warm little face, the flowers are hung into the mouth one by one, naturally there is a childlike heart and gratification.
At Zhou Yu's request, Wang Guilan made a large half-pot block and a small half-pot skewer. When you're done, cover the pot and start steaming.
When it was close to noon, my father Zhou Dingguo came back with a hoe, and at the same time, the steamed acacia cake in the cauldron was almost ripe.
Zhou Dingguo was drinking tea under the grape trellis, waiting for the Huaihua cake to come out of the pot, while Zhou Yu was wandering around the outhouse, looking forward to getting a piece of the Huaihua cake to taste as soon as it came out of the pot.
After Zhou Yu's heart was tormented for a few minutes, his mother finally lifted the lid of the cauldron, and the hot steam steamed up the moment the pot was opened, and then the fragrance of acacia flowers spread.
Zhou Yu really couldn't wait, and without waiting for the Huaihua cake to be cold, he reached out and grabbed a piece, poured it twice in his hand, broke a small piece and put it in his mouth and chewed it in a big mouthful.
The sweet and silky locust cake is in the mouth, and with the chewing of the teeth, it is soft and soft, and the aftertaste is endless.
At noon, Zhou Yu and his father didn't eat anything except the Huaihua cake, and a large pot of Huaihua cake was stunned for the grandfather and son to eat nearly half of it, and the two of them, who were full of burps after being glared at fiercely by Wang Guilan, only then withdrew the hand stretched out to the Huaihua cake.
(Today's big chapter, ask for collection, recommendation.) There is a classification recommendation tomorrow afternoon, I hope the villagers will cheer more, thank you everyone! )
