Farming: I dressed up as a widow and beat my parents-in-law violently

After taking a sample and showing it to the five children, they set off separately.

Yan Xia asked each of them to pick a basket.

She herself went to the mountains for a walk.

The rose flower cake alone was too simple. Yan Xia remembered that she had discovered dendrobium in the mountains, and it should be blooming now.

Dendrobium is a good thing.

Not only can it nourish stomach yin, but it can also lower blood sugar and improve eyesight.

It is often soaked in water for drinking, but many people don’t know that dendrobium flowers can actually be eaten, and their taste is as good as that of roses.

Yan Xia's grandmother once fried dendrobium flowers in egg fried rice for her to eat.

The taste is particularly fragrant.

Not only is it delicious, it’s also good for your health. It’s simply the best of both worlds.

According to memory, Yan Xia came to the mountains carrying a bamboo basket.

Found the piece of dendrobium.

They hide on tree trunks and in crevices between rocks.

Clusters of small yellow-green flowers bloom on the green rhizomes.

When you get close to the tip of your nose, you can smell a faint fragrance of nectar, which is a bit like the smell of orchids. The smell makes your tired body feel relaxed.

Yan Xia did not uproot the dendrobium.

She only picked the dendrobium flowers, even though they were small.

After picking this piece, the bamboo basket behind Yan Xia was half full.

The mountain was not empty, so she simply went to take a look at the hunting hole she had dug before.

There are two rotting animal carcasses inside, one is a wild dog left behind last time, and the other is supposed to be a giant rat.

Yan Xia took the two animal carcasses out of the hole and found a soft ground to bury them.

Then the hunting hole that was not finished last time was re-lined with straw and covered with a layer of mud.

Just when she wanted to turn around and go down the mountain.

Yan Xia's nose seemed to smell a familiar fragrance of flowers.

It's Lily!

She looked around for the smell.

Finally, I saw a small patch of white flowers beside a bush.

It is Lily of the Wild.

The smell of lily is very overbearing. Even though it is far away from the hunting pit, it can still spread the fragrance half a mile away in the direction of the wind.

Close to the flowers.

The strong smell of lilies hits you.

Yan Xia started picking.

He didn't leave until his backpack was full.

By the time she got home, all the children had gone home.

Everyone picked a basket full of roses.

"Go and remove the stems of these flowers, leaving only the petals. Be careful not to get the juice out of the petals."

Yan Xia ordered.

She herself went to the kitchen to prepare brown sugar, jars and honey.

She bought all this in the town yesterday, especially the honey, which was ridiculously expensive. It was found by a hunter in the mountains, a piece of wild honeycomb honey bigger than a head.

You need to filter it yourself. After doing it for a while, Yan Xia filtered two full cans.

There is also a pot of honeycomb residue.

This thing can be used to make lipstick, but it's a pity that Yan Xia doesn't have the spare time now.

She set the honeycomb dregs aside.

It happened that the children had also finished washing the flowers.

The three kinds of flowers bloom separately.

The flowers in the mountains are very clean without washing. There is no pollution and no dust here.

Spread the flowers in a pot, layer the petals with brown sugar, marinate for half an hour, wash your hands, and rub the juice out of the petals with your hands until the petals and sugar blend together. After rubbing, add an appropriate amount of honey. well mixed.

After placing it in a clean jar, cover it with a layer of honey.

The jar is tightly sealed and stored in a jar with mountain spring water.

The temperature inside is cooler.

It can guarantee that the flower sauce will not go bad.

One-fifth of the three types of flowers were left in summer.

So I pickled three cans of roses, half a can each of dendrobium flowers and lilies.

These cannot be eaten until 20 days later.

The next step is to make fresh petals.

Mix the remaining petals with sugar.

Add lard and knead into a ball.

The filling is done.

"Children, prepare your things. Let's set off to the town. Jinlu Lamei, you two, stay away. Stay at home to look after the house and do the work in the fields. Don't run around, do you hear me?"

"Jin Fu, go and get more firewood. There isn't any in the shop. Xiao He, take all the things we bought yesterday. Osmanthus, put the stuffing that my mother just made into a basin, cover it with a cloth, and wait. As soon as we arrive in town, we start making flower cakes.”

"You all hurry up, your uncle Dali will be here soon."

Yan Xia ordered one by one.

When she came back yesterday, she had already made an appointment with Zhao Dali for the bullock cart.

I looked at the sky and saw that the time was almost up.

Sure enough, the words just fell.

The sound of bullock carts could be heard outside the door.

"Sister Xiaoxia, are you okay? I'm here -"

It's Zhao Dali.

Yan Xia opened the door.

"Brother Dali, wait a minute, Jin Fu and the others are packing their things."

"It's okay, don't rush, there's still enough time."

It's really early, it's only morning, and it's not even 11 o'clock yet.

Yan Xia didn't plan to eat it. It just so happened that she tried baking flower cakes for the first time today. She had an empty stomach and wanted to taste it.

"Brother Dali, haven't you eaten?"

Yan Xia was going to trick Zhao Dali into trying the food.

"After eating, your sister-in-law ordered me a big bowl of gray noodles."

Zhao Dali touched his round belly and burped.

Fine.

The calculation failed.

The two chatted for a while, and Jin Fu and others finally packed up.

After loading everything onto the oxcart, the group set out for Shuangqiao Town.

Arrived before 1pm.

Zhao Dali claimed that he would help his wife buy things and meet at Qiaotou at 5 o'clock.

Yan Xia's shop is not far from Shuangqiao.

It only takes ten minutes to walk there.

She nodded in agreement.

It was the first time for Jin Fu and Gui Hua to come to this shop. At first they were hesitant to speak when they saw the small space. However, when they entered the backyard, their expressions were exactly the same as what she and Xiao He showed yesterday.

"Mom, everyone can live here. Mom is so lucky to have bought such a good shop. Even though it is small, it has all the internal organs."

Osmanthus likes it here very much.

"Okay, let's divide the work. Jin Fu went to the end of the bridge to take down the signboard. Mom customized it yesterday. I want to see if it's done. Mom wants it urgently. If not, I'll tell them to have it done tomorrow morning. Otherwise, the money will be refunded.”

"Guihua and Xiaohe, please clean the shop, tidy up the utility room, and put the things we brought in, so that you won't take them home when you go back in the evening."

"It's mother, my son will go right away."

After Jin Fu finished speaking, he left.

Guihua and Shi Xiaohe also started cleaning.

Yan Xia, on the other hand, wiped the stove, boiled a pot of water and started making flower cakes.

Put the prepared materials one by one.

Take an appropriate amount of flour, lard, sugar and warm water and stir into a uniform water-oil crust.

Mix the flour and lard into another puff pastry.

Wrap a piece of pastry in a piece of water-oil dough, roll it into an oval shape and roll it into a roll.

Then roll the roll again, repeating this for more than ten times, until the outer skin becomes layered and extra crispy.

Roll the dough into a round cake shape, wrap it with the flower fillings prepared in advance, and press it into the shape of a moon cake.

Use a bamboo skewer to poke five small holes in the crust to prevent the pastry from exploding during baking.
