Farming Routine After Returning From Interstellar

In golden autumn and October, golden osmanthus is fragrant.

There is a golden osmanthus tree next to the kitchen of Su's house. It has been blooming one after another since October. There are many golden-yellow flowers emerging from the green leaves.

The faint fragrance is fine, but the smell of this strong fragrance makes me dizzy. If it wasn't for the big beehive on the tree, which could harvest a lot of sweet-scented osmanthus nectar every year, Mother Su would definitely cut down the sweet-scented osmanthus tree.

No, she couldn't stand the strong fragrance, so she had to knock off some of the flowers.

Before she started playing for two minutes, Su Mu arrived with Xiao Yun Duo in her arms.

Su Mu put Xiao Yunduo down and hurriedly stopped her mother's behavior, "Mom, please stop first."

After speaking, she ran into the room and took out a clean cloth, "This sweet-scented osmanthus fell to the ground in vain, what a waste."

She spread the cloth on the ground and took two steps to the side, "It's alright now."

Mother Su didn't know what her daughter wanted the sweet-scented osmanthus for, but it didn't interfere with her, so she let her go.

The honeycomb was hanging on the tree trunk, and it was still a little distance from the flowering branches, but there were many bees in the osmanthus bushes gathering honey. Afraid of annoying them, Mother Su still put on protective equipment and waved her daughter away. She slapped with a long bamboo pole.

After about ten minutes, Mother Su couldn't hold it anymore. The bamboo pole was not heavy but very long, and it took a lot of strength to fight. Her hand was sore and painful, but it was only halfway through.

Su Mu took over this task logically. After four or five days of blooming, the osmanthus flowers can easily fall. When the bamboo pole is knocked on the branches, the golden osmanthus flowers will naturally fall down.

After a while, a layer of yellow was spread on the cloth.

Su Mu was also out of breath, holding the sourness of her hands, she wrapped the cloth and got a large bag of sweet-scented osmanthus.

At this time, Mother Su had already slowed down and took the big bag in her hand, "What are you doing with these flowers?" She put the bag away in disgust, the scent really hit her forehead.

"Use it to make sweet-scented osmanthus honey and sweet-scented osmanthus tea."

"What, can osmanthus flower be used to make tea?" Mother Su knew that osmanthus flower could be used to make snacks or something, but she didn't know that it could also be used to make tea.

"Certainly, it is of great use."

Hearing what she said, Mother Su suddenly felt distressed for those osmanthus flowers that she had destroyed in previous years.

Su Mu knew her mother well and didn't know how to comfort her, so she turned her attention elsewhere, "Mom, what are you having for lunch today?"

Mother Su patted her thigh, "It's broken, glutinous rice is still steaming in the kitchen." She immediately turned around and hurried back to the kitchen.

Su Mu remembered why my mother steamed glutinous rice before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Speaking of which, this is also a traditional custom. During the Mid-Autumn Festival in Huayuan Village, not only moon cakes and grapefruit are eaten, but every household will also make glutinous rice.

She didn't know why she made glutinous rice. She guessed that the family was not rich at that time, but they could not eat without food during the festival. In the past, people still planted a lot of glutinous rice, so she made fragrant glutinous rice on the festival day as a reward. myself and family.

Su Mu put aside the guesses in his mind, and concentrated on the sweet-scented osmanthus.

When playing osmanthus, a lot of leaves and branches were dropped, and it was necessary to pick out the impurities one by one before proceeding to the next step.

To make osmanthus honey and osmanthus tea, she still lacks two important materials, honey and tea leaves.

Uncle Qiangzi in the village often goes to the mountains to find some wild goods, and there should be pure natural honey there. As for tea, there is a tea tree on the mountain. The Su family doesn’t drink tea often, but generally they still need to use tea to entertain guests when they come, so the tea tree is well taken care of.

While Su Mu was processing sweet-scented osmanthus outside, Mother Su also started making glutinous rice.

There are two main steps in making sticky rice, one is steaming and the other is frying.

Put the steamed glutinous rice aside for later use, and put the steamed peeled mung bean into the pot to fry, put it on the spatula, crush the soft glutinous mung bean into fluffy mung bean powder, and add chopped peanuts to it. , Fried minced meat, add some salt to taste, and finally add glutinous rice and stir well.

This is the usual practice of the Su family. The glutinous rice is not sticky at all, and it is fluffy and delicious.

Su Mu had already smelled the familiar fragrance, so she immediately put away the sweet-scented osmanthus and trotted into the kitchen.

"Ok?"

She stood behind her mother, unable to see what was in the pot.

"When you're ready, put the basket on the table top." There are washed banana leaves in the basket to prevent the glutinous rice from leaking out of the basket.

Mother Su put all the glutinous rice into the basket, and there was a thin sheet of glutinous rice and mung bean rice left in the pot. Su Mu likes this kind of rice best. She gently shoveled the edges with a small spatula, and the whole rice cake was easily uncovered. stand up.

It was very crispy, and crumbs fell from time to time. Su Mu caught the falling casserole with her hands and put it into her mouth.

Salty and crispy, the taste of mung bean and glutinous rice is strong, and occasionally a hint of peanut fragrance can be smelled.

Father Su came back from outside and was very happy to see that the glutinous rice had been prepared at home. He liked eating glutinous rice very much, and most of the glutinous rice he usually made went into his stomach.

So Mother Su didn't make any extra lunch, and she ended up with a small bowl of glutinous rice per person.

Eating glutinous rice is easy to be full, Su Mu is full after eating half a bowl, and continues to deal with sweet-scented osmanthus.

"Dad, can you help me ask Uncle Qiangzi, does he still have wild honey?"

"Okay, I'll ask later."

"Are the tea trees on our mountain budding?"

Father Su hesitated for a while, and said uncertainly, "Should I? I didn't pay much attention to this."

"Then I'll go up the mountain and see for myself."

Mother Su looked out of the yard, "Why hasn't your brother come yet?"

"Maybe something has been delayed? Didn't he call yesterday and say he'll be back today?"

"Yes, it's noon now, and I haven't seen Ying'er yet."

"Don't worry, something must be stuck."

The family of three was talking, and Gu Shi came with Gu Yan and Sang Yan, with a lot of gifts in their hands.

They came to visit on behalf of their father and mother. They came to Huayuan Village, and there was no reason not to visit the Su family.

This is a boxing ceremony, Su's father and Su's mother can only take everything away, and then prepare some gifts to take back when they return.

Gu Yan is very good at chatting, so he chatted with Father Su after a while.

Sang Yan also had a good chat with Su Mu and Su Mu.

Mother Su got up and went to the kitchen to get them some glutinous rice, "This is made just now, and it's still hot, try it?"

"Thank you, Aunt." Sang Yan took the small bowl and spoon and looked down at the glutinous rice inside. The glutinous rice was crystal clear, stained with yellow mung beans and dark white peanuts, and occasionally a few grains of lean meat could be seen.

The aroma penetrated straight into the nose, and I was just full, but I felt hungry again when I saw this glutinous rice.

The taste is slightly salty, fluffy and soft and delicious.

Sang Yan praised: "Auntie, this glutinous rice is really delicious."

She has eaten a lot of glutinous rice, but they are not as good as the one in front of her.

Huayuan Village is really like what the younger brother said, everything is good, just staying in these few hours, her body and mind are completely relaxed.

No wonder the grandparents are reluctant to think about Shu.

Sang Yan saw that Su Mu was dealing with osmanthus, and asked curiously, "Mu Mu, what are these osmanthus used for?"

"I want to make some osmanthus honey and osmanthus tea."

"It's a good idea."

"I'll send you some when it's ready."

"Then I'll wait."

"Well, but there is still a shortage of materials. I will go up the mountain to pick tea later."

Generally, the best time to pick tea is around 7:00 in the morning. However, there are shade trees in the mountains, so picking in the afternoon can also be used. After all, it is used to make osmanthus tea, and the quality requirements of the tea are not too high.

"Can I follow along?" Sang Yan said excitedly, she was very interested in everything in the countryside.

"sure."

So in the afternoon, the one-person group became a four-person group, and Gu Yan and Gu Shi had to follow. Originally Su Chen wanted to go, but in the end, he couldn't worry about his seven-month-pregnant wife and stayed at home.

Su Mu carried a small backpack on her back, fearing that she would encounter some wild vegetables and fruits, so she brought an extra backpack.

Sang Yan happily carried it on his back. This small carrying basket was made by Father Su, very delicate and small. She has an outstanding temperament, and even carrying a basket on her back has a bit of extravagance.

Gu Yan rarely came to such a wild mountain, and he was very surprised to see everything.

There were no wild vegetables in October, but there were still some water bracken growing by the stream. Su Mu planned to pick some when he went back, but there were still wild fruits.

Nimzi has already matured in September, perhaps because of the climate and aura, there are still many dark purple fruits hanging on the Nimzi tree.

"This fruit is quite sweet." Su Mu picked a few from the tree and gave them a taste.

Gu Shi and the others had never eaten such wild fruit before, and after tasting it, it tasted as sweet as she said.

"But you can't eat too much." Su Mu hurriedly added.

"why is that?"

"Uh." Su Mu was at a loss for words, not knowing how to answer.

"Anyway, you can't eat too much."

On the other hand, Sang Yan looked at the structure inside the scorpion, and said calmly, "There are cores and seeds in it. Eating too much should lead to dry stools, which are not easy to pass."

Su Mu nodded, she was really embarrassed to explain it to them.

Gu Shi and Gu Yan touched their noses, and they were indeed a little embarrassed.

"But it is a good material for making wine. Renzi wine has the functions of invigorating blood, nourishing the lungs, nourishing the liver and kidney, etc."

Hearing that it is still so useful, everyone ignored the question just now and started picking.

Seeing that it was getting late, Su Mu proposed to pick tea by himself, and they stayed here to pick fruit.

Gu Shi said, "I'll go with you, the elder brother and sister-in-law are here to pick the fruit, right?"

Gu Yan and Sang Yan had no objection, so they divided the work.

The tea tree is not far from the Renzi tree, and it is just around the corner.

The tea leaves are actually a bit old now, so Su Mu can only pick some tender leaves, and Gu Shi also clumsily helps.

Fortunately, this tea tree is very lush, and you can pick a lot of good tea leaves.

"Almost, let's go back."

Gu Shi took the basket in her hand and led her back.

When he came to the side of the Renzi tree, the fruits on it had been picked completely. Gu Yan was under the command of Sang Yan, pulling the water bracken with his trouser legs.

There is a layer of water ferns on the top of the Nimzi fruit, and there are quite a lot of them.

"Brother, sister-in-law, are you almost picking? Let's go back?"

"Okay, Gu Yan, don't pick it up." Sang Yan stretched out her hand and pulled her husband up, and they went home.

On the way back, Su Mu told them several ways to eat water bracken, and Sang Yan listened curiously, saying that Aunt Li would do it according to her instructions later.
