Xia Yanfei never talks nonsense.

After the bus crossed the traffic light at a street intersection, the oncoming scene made Yin Xiyue's eyes widen,

She finally understood why he said that once he arrived, she would know where her destination was at a glance.

The streets here have a strong sense of age, and the most striking thing is the lush vegetation here.

Not only in the green belt, but also on both sides of the road, the sense of space seems to be weakened all of a sudden.

The vintage bikes stopped aside, and the time seemed to slow down, leaving only the green to wash the summer sun.

The old town of Jiangcheng is always full of surprises, and you never know where the next stop of the bus will take you.

Getting off the bus stop, Yin Xiyue jumped onto the walking path and spun around excitedly.

You can't feel the sunlight here, because the canopies block them, which is very similar to the entrance of Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School, but there is no sense of vicissitudes here.

The trees on both sides are very old and diverse, and it is said that many of the trees were planted by the people here, and each family carefully selected one for their favorite.

"It's the first time I've been here, I'm here to test you, what kind of tree is this?"

Xia Yanfei patted the solid trunk in front of him.

"Hmm...... This leaf ...... It's kapok, right?"

"Yes, I recognize it at a glance."

"There are so many kapoks in the city, and its flowers are so unique, I'm sure I can remember what it looks like."

The girl also stepped forward and stroked the trunk of the tree, and a cold, hard touch came from her hand.

Kapok is particularly splendid, the flowers bloom like fire, the ground is undefeated, majestic and firm, and it can always bring strength to people.

"The place we're going to is the alley in front, so I'm going to test you again, what's the name of the tree in front of this alley?"

"As a friendly reminder, this can be used for baking."

As the two of them walked, the smaller trees became clearer.

Prompting to this part, coupled with the association of what I want to buy today, the flowers that I can't guess are inevitably too stupid.

This guy, don't think of yourself as a child.

Yin Xiyue said the answer.

"Osmanthus, right~"

"Answer correctly, but no reward."

Xia Yanfei said with a smile.

"These trees that may look a little weak are the osmanthus trees, and the time for the osmanthus to bloom has not yet arrived, so now we can only see its rather monotonous green."

"But they still grow very well, and the osmanthus tree is not only fragrant, the whole tree actually has a faint fragrance of osmanthus, don't believe it, we can walk into some."

The girl listened to his words and moved a little closer, and sure enough, the unique fragrance of osmanthus slowly drifted into her little nose.

"The osmanthus tree can't be nurtured by its own osmanthus flowers."

"That's not impossible."

"Compared to other trees, the osmanthus tree looks much smaller."

"The osmanthus flowers are also very small, it doesn't mean that if you don't pay attention to observation, you can only know from the fragrance of the osmanthus that it is open."

"Why?"

"Because they will hide in the leaves, you won't be able to see the flowers."

"In that case, I always think it's going to look good......

"It's not the flowering season yet, in fact, if it's rainy, the wind mixed with raindrops will also bring osmanthus petals."

"It's a little distressing to feel a little sorry for the petals that were knocked down in advance, but it's really beautiful, like pale yellow snow falling in clear puddles of water and intertwining with the leaves."

Xia Yanfei looked up at the canopy of the osmanthus tree and described slowly.

"It's nice to hear from your description."

"Well, let's go inside, the osmanthus cake is about to be baked."

Leading the young girl who studied the various tree species on both sides of the road from time to time, Xia Yan flew them into the alley, walking on the old but still stable brick-paved road.

This dim sum shop has been open in the alley for many years, and the owner is an old couple, and their shop has been famous since Xia Yanfei can remember.

People love their dim sum, handmade, with the best ingredients and at affordable prices.

Many children eat their osmanthus cake from an early age until they grow up.

Osmanthus flowers bloom for a short period of time, and they have to spread a clean cloth early to collect the small petals that are scattered.

It can't be dried naturally, which will cause the floral fragrance to lose quickly, and finally the joy in the jar is only the appearance of osmanthus, and there is no taste.

If you want to prepare a year's worth of raw materials for osmanthus cakes without losing their flavor, you need to make them into osmanthus sugar, or osmanthus nectar.

The method is also very simple, after the osmanthus is sorted out, it is cleaned, a layer of osmanthus and a layer of sugar are put into a glass jar, and finally a layer of honey is poured.

In the days that followed, I quietly admired the slow blending of osmanthus and white sugar, the snow-white sugar was dyed with a sticky golden color, and the osmanthus would bring sweetness, and finally the whole became transparent and clear honey-like.

At this time, wait patiently for a while longer, and you can enjoy the charming osmanthus candy.

Osmanthus cake is to steam the rice noodles, divide them into small pieces after freshly baking, and add osmanthus sugar.

The delicate fragrance of rice and the rich floral aroma of osmanthus combined with the sweetness of honey create the taste of the cake.

When it is close to noon, there will be a pot of osmanthus cake freshly baked, when the mouth is hot, the taste is the best, and some people will deliberately stay in front of the store to buy this first bite.

By the time they arrived, there was already a queue.

Xia Yanfei originally wanted Yin Xiyue to stand aside and wait for him, but this girl had to take a closer look at the store, so he had to take her with him.

With a commotion, the clerk walked out with a large iron plate and changed the brand in production to open.

The team began to move forward, and it was not too late for them to arrive, and it could be regarded as a little bit ahead.

"Hello, what do you want to buy?"

"A large portion of osmanthus cake is packed in a box, and then a small portion is packed in a bag, thank you."

"Okay."

It didn't take long for the two of them to walk out of the alley with the hot osmanthus cake.

The boxed one is for Master Xia Yanfei, counting the time on the road, it shouldn't be hot, but it's not cold either.

The one in the bag, plus two small forks, was naturally bought by Xia Yanfei for Yin Xiyue.

This girl's expectations for osmanthus cake are about to overflow.

"Hurry up and try it, it's the best when it comes out of the pot, just don't burn your mouth."

While waiting for the bus, he reminded.

"I want to eat with you, you can also take a fork~"

It is better to be respectful than to obey fate, Xia Yanfei forked a piece, smiled and touched a cup with the piece in Yin Xiyue's hand.

"Wow, it's hot, it's hot!"

"Be careful, hiss, the cake seems to be extra hot today......
