Chapter 36 Peach Blossom Cake

It was splitting bills and chatting, and the menu for the future had to be re-negotiated. This lunch was not finished until the sun was setting.

After sending Shen Erhao away, Shen Yuan was urged by everyone to get into the car and go straight to the hospital.

The injury on his leg was actually not too serious, not to the point of shattering the bones, but the bones were also cracked. After more than a month, it was time to remove the plaster cast.The doctor took a small hammer and tapped it on the plaster. Just when Shen Yuan thought he was going to smash it hard, the doctor took out a small electric saw, and the sound of rattling and rattling was heard. After a while, the plaster that had tortured Shen Yuan for a month was completely smashed to pieces.

"This doctor's skill is really not good. He has to divide a piece of plaster several times. I'm afraid that he will saw off my toes with a single trembling hand." Out of the consulting room, Shen Yuan complained in a low voice, This doctor with a white beard is really scary, his hands are shaking endlessly, his heart almost stopped by him.

Zhou Yi ignored him, and Shen Yuan continued to complain: "Why do I still have to use crutches after the plaster cast is removed? Didn't it matter if I didn't put the cast on before? Are they trying to trick me?"

"Although you look annoying, doctors still have professional ethics. Shut your mouth. A nurse is coming from the opposite side." Zhou Yi reminded with pouted lips.

"Then you put down my trouser legs first." Shen Yuan bit his chin and pointed at his leg without plaster. He didn't feel it when there was plaster before, but now one trouser leg is put down and the other is rolled up. It looks as if he is going to plant rice in the ground.

Zhou Yi also looked down, and before Shen Yuan could speak again, he squatted down to help him pull it down, stood up, and said in disgust, "It smells really bad."

"Nonsense, do I have to put my hand in the plaster to rub it when I take a bath?" Shen Yuan rolled his eyes, but it's okay if Zhou Yi didn't say anything, his legs really itch when he said that. Shen Yuan couldn't help looking down.

"Don't look at it, you can wash it when you get back." Zhou Yi dragged him into the car impatiently.

Shen Yuan's plaster had already been removed, and the crutch had been useless for two days and he had thrown it away. Zhou Yi quickly left with all his money.

Finally, I don't have to see the guy who is an eyesore—this is the common aspiration of the two.

Without Zhou Yi, the guy who vomits and hangs chains at any time, Shen Yuan will go up to Yangtou Mountain again. It is so beautiful. Seeing the grass, he feels infinite vitality!

...it's actually not that beautiful.

It's already October, and although there are lush green patches everywhere, there is already a bleak smell in the wind, and many weeds are showing signs of withering.However, the newly planted flower seedlings and lotus seeds are growing well, and the chrysanthemum chrysanthemum has also been stubbled. The flock of sheep seems to have grown up a lot, and not a single chick died.

The little wolf dog had already been sent to the sheep's head mountain, and when they saw Shen Yuan coming up the mountain, they all wagged their tails, barked and jumped around him joyfully, and Shen Yuan bent over to hug them, holding the peanuts and pieces of meat in his hands Throwing them all, the two little guys immediately let him go and ate them.

Xiao Hei, who was originally hanging in Shen Yuan's arms, was also attracted by the food, and readily got down from him to grab the food.

The lotus in the two ponds of the house has already set up leaves, and there are several long branches in the round leaves. I don’t know if this year can catch up with the last flowering season. It is said that the lotus only blooms until September. But this season feels a little hotter, and the sun is shining. If you are lucky, you may be able to see flowers blooming.

Father Zhang and Zhang Feng were both outside, Shen Yuan saw that there was no one around, and put some well water into the pond.

The most useful thing in the space is this well. The water in it seems to never run out. Every time some water is pumped out, the water level has not dropped much, and it will automatically return to its original position in the blink of an eye. What is the reason? not sure.But the benefits of well water are obvious, the grape trellis in Shen's yard is enough to prove it, and all the flower seedlings and vegetable seedlings he sprinkled with well water grow slowly, even sheep like this well water, After Shen Yuan fed them a few times, they all recognized him as if they saw him, they moved up when they saw him, and couldn't even drive them away.

With the blessing of these well waters, Shen Yuan always felt that the day when the lotus blooms is not so far away.

This prediction was confirmed the next day - the lotus bloomed.

When Father Zhang called, Shen Yuan was making pastries at home.The peach tree in the space will never wither, the fruit bears and falls, falls and then bears. There are piles of peaches under the tree. Shen Yuan has paid special attention to these peaches. Every time a batch falls, the bottom batch will grow Within 10 minutes, it rotted and melted into the mud, without leaving any smell or traces. It looked weird. Shen Yuan didn't dare to touch it at first, but after eating one, he didn't feel anything strange. Occasionally, I take it out to satisfy my gluttony, and I also send a lot to my family.

But there are too many peaches, and I can't finish them all.Shen Yuan suddenly remembered to squeeze juice today, and as soon as he entered the kitchen, his hands were itchy, wondering if he could use peach juice or peach blossom to make some cakes or something.

As soon as we started, the phone rang, and the voice of Father Zhang was so excited that he told him to go up the mountain to have a look, and the lotus bloomed.

"I thought it wouldn't open. It's this day. I'm so lucky." Father Zhang circled around the pond, staring at the red, white and white lotus petals in the pond with green eyes.

The leaves are standing up, and it will be a matter of time before they bloom. Shen Yuan thought so, and was very happy in his heart. Surrounded by the tender leaves, the small pink lotus is small and doesn't smell any floral fragrance, but it is pleasing to look at.

After looking at it for a while, Shen Yuan looked at Father Zhang and asked, "Uncle Zhang, do you want to cover the pond with a glass house?"

The lotus is not cold-resistant, and it will not last for a few days when it blooms in this season. If it is placed in a greenhouse, it may bloom for a few more days.

Father Zhang shook his head and said in disapproval: "It's good that the lotus is still outside, and besides, we still have bees."

...Almost forgot about this.

Shen Yuan looked embarrassed and remembered the three nests of beehives he had brought over, after one nest was to be put in the greenhouse, and the other two nests were left to fend for themselves.At this time, there are still many wild flowers blooming on the mountain, and there is no need to starve them. When the weather is completely cold, the flowers in the greenhouse will bloom just in time, and the bees will survive the winter.

"By the way, the chickens have also laid eggs in the past two days. I put them in bags. You can take them back with you later to make up for your sister-in-law."

"Did you lay eggs so soon?" Shen Yuan laughed joyfully, "I'll go to the village to find some ducks and geese later on."

Father Zhang took the joke seriously, and nodded his head in agreement: "It's not a problem to buy more, these flowers and plants are surrounded by fences, and I have fenced those vegetable gardens, so it doesn't cost much to raise them, and you can still lay eggs. .”

"Okay, I'll ask later."

There were quite a lot of eggs brought back, Mr. Zhang was too polite, he filled two bags full of eggs, but Mrs. Shen was stingy and only willing to give it to Mrs. Shen, Shen Yuan didn't even get the egg skins.

They were all sitting at the same table, all kinds of scrambled eggs, steamed eggs, and fried eggs in front of Mrs. Shen alone. Shen Yuan felt aggrieved, and protested: "There are so many eggs, and my sister-in-law can't finish them. The chickens on the mountain are not bad." Laying eggs, Mom, you are too stingy, aren't you?"

Without raising her head, Shen's mother focused on peeling the shrimps for Mrs. Shen, "The chickens on the mountain are not given hormones, and they eat grass-root worms. These eggs are soil eggs, which are nutritious. What's the use of eating them? Want to eat them?" If you want, you can eat whatever you want in the kitchen.”

Although they all live in the village, these local eggs are also very rare. Before, they were often eaten at home, but now they are bought outside. Once eaten, they are not native eggs, and the taste is not right.These neighbors also have chickens, and the eggs they lay are only enough for their own food, and they will not sell them easily. When the sister-in-law was in confinement, she had the cheek to go to each house several times. I'm sorry to go again, now that the youngest is getting it back at the right time, she naturally gives priority to Mrs. Shen.

"..." Shen Yuan was completely speechless, and could only look at Mrs. Shen pitifully.

Being looked at soft-heartedly, Mrs. Shen picked up a bowl in hand and handed it directly to Shen Yuan, saying: "The youngest's legs and feet are not good yet, and she is so busy these days, she should make up for it." of."

In a small palm-sized bowl, chopped green onions, shrimps and minced garlic were sprinkled into the steamed soft golden eggs, just looking at them made your mouth water, Shen Yuanxi smiled and reached out to catch them.

Shen's mother snatched it halfway, passed the bowl from Shen Yuan's eyes, and put it in Shen's sister-in-law's hand again, scolding: "You mend yourself first, eat quickly, there is still soup in the pot."

Aunt Shen is the last thing to worry about eating. Knowing that Mama Shen is doing it for her own good, she will let her eat whatever she wants. Even if eating too much food with less salt and less seasoning will make people feel sick, she still puts all her energy into her stomach for the sake of her child. Swallow it.When Shen's mother stopped her like this, Mrs. Shen didn't dare to say anything more, she just looked at Shen Yuan apologetically, and obediently lowered her head to eat, only she could eat well, and children who were still breastfeeding could eat well , This principle does not need to be taught by others.

In the end, Shen Yuan couldn't even eat a bite of the egg, and he couldn't hold his breath. In the middle of the night, he remembered the half-made pastries, and got up and went to the kitchen again.

Shen Yuan has been studying and working abroad for many years, and he has always been in charge of himself, let alone food and drink.Food and drink in the city are not cheap. Ever since he rented a house, he has always cooked for himself, ranging from the simplest instant noodles to complicated frying, and even making dumplings. After a long time It's all easy to do. Mama Shen didn't teach me how to make cakes. He likes sweets and thinks that the ones sold outside are not clean, so he will do it after thinking about it.

The peaches were still in the refrigerator and no one had touched them. Shen Yuan took them out, peeled the cores, and mashed them into juice. He filled a small pot with peach juice, added some water and heated it on the induction cooker. Hesitating at the door of the room, he picked some peach petals from the space and sprinkled them into the pot, and grabbed some white sugar and stirred them together.

Space is a troublemaker, and it has its own set of rules. For example, the vigorous weeds inside cannot be pulled out, and the leaves cannot even be moved. The same is true for peach trees, and the peaches that grow on the branches cannot be touched, but You can pick peach blossoms as you like, and you can take peaches that fall on the ground as you like.That dilapidated little bamboo building would collapse at the slightest touch, and you are not allowed to knock it down and rebuild it casually, it is really troublesome.

Silently complaining in his heart about the space that is as difficult to take care of as Miss Qianjin, Shen Yuan did not forget the work in hand, and then filled the pot with some peanut oil, stirred it casually and then turned off the fire.In fact, it would be better to use raw suet oil, but Shen Yuan himself likes peanut oil, and the pastry with peanut oil has a certain sweetness, which suits his taste very well.

Shen Yuan walked around the kitchen, took a small pot and put some starch in it, poured all the soup in the pot and beat it evenly, seeing that it was almost dry, he filled in some boiling water, it didn't take long, Shen Yuan took a look in the pot The ingredients that were completely melted together were pulled out of the small squares of frozen ice cubes from the refrigerator, and the powder in the basin was carefully filled into the squares one by one.

Then I got worried.

Both Shen's mother and Shen's sister-in-law don't make pastries, so there is not even a decent mold in the kitchen. How can he get it into the pot to steam?

Things are dead, but people are alive, Shen Yuan thought for a while, and could only put the small square into the refrigerator for quick freezing, and went to the living room to watch TV by himself.It took almost 10 minutes to open the refrigerator again. The powder in the small square had been frozen, and it was a bit hard when pressed with fingers. Put the small things on the white cloth on the steamer and steam them on high heat.

The idea is good, but the reality is always terrible.When they were out of the pan, these pieces of pastries were a bit scattered and crooked. They didn't look very good, but they smelled okay.

Just steaming is still not enough, you have to fry it in an oil pan, and it will be completed when it is fried until it has a golden color.

As soon as the hot pastry was brought to the tip of the nose, there was a rich aroma of peach flesh and peach blossoms rushing towards his face, Shen Yuan drooled suddenly, and walked out with the plate in his hands with a smile on his face.

Sitting on the sofa, as soon as he turned on the TV, a person came down the stairs—Mother Shen.

"What are you doing in the middle of the night?" Shen's mother asked, her nose still twitching, and her eyes looked directly at the plate in Shen Yuan's hand.

Shen Yuan smiled and put the plate in front of her, proudly said: "I made the peach cake, try it?"

"Can you eat it?" Shen's mother frowned and asked suspiciously, but she quickly picked up a piece of pastry in her hand. There is no greasy feeling at all, only a strong peach aroma. After eating a piece of pastry, you can taste a little bit of peanut flavor in the aftertaste.

The surprise in Shen's mother's eyes was too obvious, and Shen Yuan immediately felt complacent, grinning and said, "Can you eat it?"

"It's up to you to be able to eat!" Shen's mother gave him a blank look, turned around and left.

"Hey! Wait, my plate!" Shen Yuan was dumbfounded, and hurriedly called her to stop, and left, at least put down his plate.

Shen's mother kept walking, and said unceremoniously: "I will return the plate to you after eating. You can watch TV, and I won't bother you."

"There's my peach blossom cake inside!" Don't try to play sloppy with him!

Shen's mother was about to reach the stairs, and when she heard the words, she turned her head and grinned like Shen Yuan just now, "Your sister-in-law happened to be hungry at this time, what do you mean she won't eat? It's because your sister-in-law usually loves you so much, No conscience!"

"..."

Shen Yuan watched Shen's mother leave with her head held high, speechless.The peach blossom cake he just made out of the pan!He hasn't even eaten a bite yet!That's it! ! !

Shen Yuan collapsed on the sofa dejectedly, he didn't even have the strength to go back to the room, he moaned and sighed, the female lead was arguing with the male lead in the TV, the tearful and sad appearance made Shen Yuan even more sad.

Before he finished appreciating this wonderful scene, the sound of stomping footsteps came from upstairs again, and Shen Yuan didn't even raise his head this time.

"Okay, it's not that your hand is broken because your legs are bad, you can just cook if you want to eat. Look at you, it's like you haven't eaten for eight lifetimes." Shen's mother sat next to him with an empty plate, not very sincere reassuring.

"If you take it away, take it away. Is it necessary to come back and find fault with me again? I won't eat the head office." Shen Yuan turned his head unhappily and moved his butt to the other side away from Shen's mother.Hmph, he is angry, so he is not in the mood to play tricks on her, and he has no energy, he is hungry!

Shen's mother moved along with him, brushed his short hair in a funny way, curled her lips and withdrew after the pricked hand hurt, and said, "Of course you don't eat, but you have to keep doing it."

"Six yuan, sister-in-law isn't full yet?" Shen Yuan pouted and replied lazily.During dinner, Mrs. Shen ate a lot, and he saw it all.

"Your sister-in-law is full, but you'd better go to sleep now, and cook with me later, you can just make this peach blossom cake." This peach blossom cake tastes really good. After thinking about it, the sister and son felt that it would be sold in Er Haozi's shop first, and if it was popular, it might be a living sign.

Shen Yuan squinted at the past, "Are you trying to squeeze the last bit of labor from me? I'm a wounded person, do you know that?"

"It's not that I won't give you money."

"That has to be done well, it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice."

"What material? What is our family lacking?"

"Didn't you see that the peach blossom cake just now is deformed? If you want to sell it, you must at least buy some molds." Shen Yuan rolled his eyes, remembering that the origin of his peach blossoms and peach juice was unknown, and began to chant, "Using starch is one flavor, using glutinous rice is another flavor, using sugar is another flavor, using honey or caramel is another flavor, and the main ingredients are peach blossoms and peach juice..."

"Okay, okay!" Shen's mother was dizzy when he read it, she quickly interrupted him, got up and left, "You can figure out what to buy, this peach blossom cake will be handed over to you, if you don't have time tomorrow, then Get it done this week. By the way, your sister-in-law likes to eat it, so you can find a way to make some for her tomorrow."

Peach Blossom Cake...

Shen Yuan let out a long breath while sitting on the sofa, which is considered a good thing.He has plenty of peach blossoms and peaches in his space. He still keeps bees, so there is no need to worry about honey. The lotus is also in bloom. You can also try to make a lotus cake. When other flowers bloom, you can try other things. ...

This was a way out that he had thought of before. It was a bit early for Shen's mother to propose at this time, but it was manageable.
