Chapter 352: Hibiscus Cake

It was not easy to launch Liu Suqing's address.

She didn't know her birthday, and only found her photo and date of birth on the Internet.

Only this information could not calculate the specific location of a person, so Jiang Li finally used copper coins to calculate a place for a long time.

Whether it's right or not depends on their luck.

The sedan drove them south of the city until they reached a hill and finally stopped at the bottom of it.

The driver looked at the rugged mountain road in front of him and the huge trees on both sides, and turned back with an apologetic face.

"Lady, lady, there is no mountain road on this mountain, the car can't drive up, you may have to climb up by yourself."

"It's okay, you can go back first, you don't have to wait for us."

Jiang Li had expected it a long time ago.

So before going out, she deliberately asked Lin Manru to change into a set of decent and comfortable clothes and shoes.

Fortunately, the mountain is not high, the terrain is not steep, and the weather is not bad today, it is about to enter autumn, the sky is high and cool, and it is very pleasant.

Jiang Li opened the car door and got out of the car, and then stretched out his hand towards Lin Manru, "Mom, let's exercise and relax." ”

"Okay."

Lin Manru also got out of the car happily.

It's been a long time since she's gone out to climb a mountain alone with her daughter.

The last time was when she was young, when she was still innocent and cute, sticking to her like a little tail all day long.

I don't know what happened later, such a cute little girl turned into a rebellious person.

Fortunately, now she is back with the sensible and well-behaved.

Lin Manru happily took her hand, her interest had never been so high, and the two of them walked and laughed along the way.

Even if it's a three-hour journey, it's a great experience.

Near the top of the hill, a small bamboo hut was revealed.

The small bamboo hut is very elegantly built, not big, but it has everything, and there is even a waterwheel at the door, which is creaking and running.

A lithe woman in a long gown and draped over her shoulders stooped over the small courtyard, carefully building the flowers that filled the courtyard.

Every gesture is elegant and leisurely.

Even though it is a little different from the photos on the Internet, Jiang Li still recognizes it at a glance, and that is Liu Suqing.

She has aged a lot, her hair has turned gray, and her face has more furrows, but her mental state is still quite full, and her eyes are flowing with the brilliance that years have not washed away.

Soon, Liu Suqing also heard the movement, and after raising her head to look at this side, she suddenly showed a vigilant look.

"Who are you?"

Lin Manru hurriedly pulled Jiang Li and said: "Hello Master Liu, my name is Lin Manru, this is my daughter Jiang Li, we have admired the name for a long time, and we came from the capital to visit you." ”

Liu Suqing subconsciously wanted to drive people away.

She could tell at a glance what the purpose of these people was coming.

She also doesn't like to deal with outsiders, annoying.

But somehow, when her eyes touched the mud on Lin Manru's feet and the hand that held her daughter tightly, her heart was suddenly moved.

After hesitating for a moment, she took off her gloves, lowered her eyelids and said, "Forget it, you guys come in." ”

Lin Manru was ecstatic in an instant, but she still made a calm appearance, and after saying "hey", she pulled Jiang Li into Liu Suqing's courtyard.

When I got closer, I realized that her yard was really not small, full of all kinds of flowers and plants, fragrant, and refreshing.

Liu Suqing walked to the wooden table, picked up the kettle on the table, took out three more cups and poured some water.

"I don't usually come to this place, and it's not easy for you to find this explanation, so sit down and drink two sips of tea to quench your thirst."

Lin Manru was not polite, and sat down opposite Liu Suqing generously.

This can't help but make Liu Suqing feel a little good.

She hates those who obviously have great desires, but on the surface they are twisting and pretentious.

This one named Lin Manru is generous.

Jiang Li also tasted the tea in front of him, and after a while, his eyes lit up and he said slowly: "This is pine needles boiled in mountain spring water, right?" ”

Liu Suqing finally showed a hint of surprise at this moment.

Then she looked the extraordinary-looking girl up and down.

"You're young, but you're actually a tea-savvy person?"

Jiang Li put down the teacup and smiled, "I learned a little before, and I also like to watch the Book of Tea, and I like to cook some by myself when I have nothing to do." ”

Liu Suqing nodded, "It's not easy for young people nowadays to be able to concentrate on these things. ”

Jiang Li saw that Liu Suqing's attitude was much gentler, so he put the box he had been carrying on the table again.

"Ms. Liu, this is a gift that my mother and I brought to you, a little heart, and I hope you don't dislike it."

Liu Suqing's face suddenly changed again.

She glanced coldly at the box, then turned her head away in annoyance.

"Take the things away, I don't need to, I didn't promise to help you with my errands when I left you here to drink tea, but I just saw that you were so tired from climbing the mountain, so don't die in me."

Jiang Li was not disappointed, but just pushed the box forward again.

"Ms. Liu, you misunderstood, this box is not a valuable, just a little snack made by my mother and me."

"You live in seclusion in the mountains and forests all year round, and rarely taste anything from the outside world, although the pine needles soaked in this mountain spring are fragrant, but the aftertaste is sweet and bitter, with dim sum, the icing on the cake."

The tip of Liu Suqing's tongue became dry.

Jiang Li's words are true.

She hadn't been down the mountain for almost a year, and she could eat some meat here, but it was basically game, and the smell was heavy.

The greens are too light.

This kind of sweet and soft snack is hard to come by.

Liu Suqing moved her body and glanced at the box.

"Inside. What is a dim sum? ”

"It's hibiscus cake." Jiang Li opened the box as he spoke, "There is caramel sugar, honey and osmanthus in it, and there is a layer of white sugar on it, which is soft and not greasy, Ms. Liu can taste it." ”

Liu Suqing took the pastry handed by Jiang Li and took a bite.

Sure enough, it's crispy and not greasy.

The sweetness of honey and osmanthus is well mixed together, and when you taste it, there is a faint lotus fragrance.

Take another sip of tea, and your lips and teeth will be fragrant.

Liu Suqing was very satisfied with what she ate, and finally took out a hand towel and wiped her lips.

"You can make tea and make such pastries, and you must not be an ordinary person, say, what are you doing with me?"

She could see that this girl named Jiang Li was not a mortal.

There must be something special about her.

Lin Manru's eyes lit up.

It is said that this golden needle lady has the worst temper to provoke, and she is willing to say this, is it equivalent to relenting?

Lin Manru was happy and was about to take out the design drawings she had prepared in advance, but suddenly a rough male voice interjected-

"Master Liu, I'm here again!"
