Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 31 Hawthorn Cake

As night fell, there were only a few dogs barking in the silent village.

Li Kongzhu squatted on the ground, staring at the water in the pot on the small stove. After boiling, he put the half-digged and broken seeds of Shanlihong into the pot and kept boiling and stirring.

Wait until the fruit water is almost evaporated.She found a big wooden basin to put it in full bloom.Then I kept tinkering in the basin with a wooden shovel and stick.

Pounding the pulp into a puree is a heavy physical work, and Li Diabolo is quite strong.But after a while of tinkering, I still felt a little tired, and looked at the man sitting beside me with sweat.

"I'm sweating like hell!"

The man nodded but didn't talk to him. Seeing that the water in the bowl was gone, he poured another bowl for himself with the kettle.Eating sweet potatoes at night made me feel bloated, Shanlihong has the effect of digesting food, this woman burned a lot today, just as he wanted.

"Boom!" Li Kongzhu put the basin on the table.Holding the bowl he was pouring water in, he looked up in one gulp, "Although this thing is good at digesting food, if the head of the house eats too much, he will use his strength to help digest food. After all, he drinks too much water and urinates a lot, and he will still wake up at night It's also troublesome!"

The corner of the man's mouth twitched, and he raised his eyes to look at her indifferently.

Li Kongzhu passed the shovel to him without hesitation, and nodded in satisfaction when he reached out to take it.

"Hurry up, it's better to pound it finely, and it should be in the shape of sauce."

Zhao Junyi calmly took over, fixed the basin with one hand, and quickly stirred and patted the basin with the other.

Li Kongzhu on the side was a little dumbfounded.Hey, this speed is comparable to a blender.

He patted him on the shoulder in satisfaction, "There is a future, and in the future, I will leave such heavy work to you." It seems that he is not completely useless, with him as a helper, I can save at least half of my effort.

The man glanced coldly at the slender hand on her shoulder.

Li Kongzhu patted again without knowing it, "I'll wash the pot first, I have to boil the syrup, otherwise I'm afraid it will be too late." With his speed, it won't take long for it to take shape.

After speaking, he hurried over to wash the iron pot on the stove, added water and sugar, and kept stirring.

When the sugar water was thickened into jelly, the fruit pounder over there also put the pounded fruit on the table for later use.

Li Diaozhu slowly poured the mushy hawthorn sauce into the pot.While pouring, keep stirring by hand to mix well.

After the syrup is completely blended with the sauce, put it into a clean and dry basin.

Li Kongzhu looked at the smooth red object, then stomped the basin on the table a few times, and said: "It's done!"

Take the pot out, cover it with a curtain and put it in the ventilated place of the stove under the eaves, and prepare to use it as a refrigerator in cold nights.

"If the head of the house wants to get up and meditate tonight, remember to wake me up in three hours." After Li Kongzhu put the basin away, he opened the door wide again, entered the room with another curtain, and kept fanning the room. Smoke piled up!

"Do you want to work in the warehouse in the future?" Li Kongzhu, who was fanning the wind, thought to himself that he was too stupid.

After muttering, they fanned each other again.Seeing that the smoke was low, I went out with the wooden basin, preparing to clean my face and take a rest.

Zhao Junyi in the room drank Xiaoshi tea quietly, and went to bed after she finished washing.Only then did he go out of the room and start meditating with his face clean, staring at the person who fell asleep soon in the dark, the corner of his mouth inadvertently twitched.

Perhaps it would be nice to have someone to accompany you...

It was only two days away from Dangji, during these two days, Li Kongzhu and Zhao Junyi went up the mountain again.Spread the picked fruits out in the warehouse for ventilation.

During this time, Mai Yaer came over, thinking of helping the executioner.

Li Kongzhu didn't ask her to help with other things, but said that he was busy making fruit and had no time to do needlework, so he begged her to help make a new quilt.

Seeing Mai Ya'er sitting on their rocking canopy bed with a familiar hand, compared to the old quilt covered with cotton.Li Diaozhu finally understood what Zhao Junyi meant by wadding cotton.

Dare to feel that the farmers here do not need to pluck the cotton, but compare the cotton to the size of the quilt, and make it fluffy by themselves.

During the two days that Mai Ya'er was here helping to make the quilt, Li Kongzhu took the hawthorn cake to taste with her again.After getting her approval.I started to prepare for the work of the first episode with complete peace of mind...

On the morning of the festival, Li Diaozhu got up before dawn and began to wrap the candied haws.

After drying it to cool, she tied the fur grass that she had prepared earlier to a stick as thick as a small wrist.

After tying, put candied haws on top in strings.

Not long after, the thick grass target was filled with bunches of red and bright hawthorn berries, which looked very festive and made people's eyes shine.

Put the basket covered with a towel on the side.When Li Diaozhu was about to fight the gourd target stick.

I didn't want to, but someone else picked it up.

Li Kongzhu was very surprised, watching the man resist and step out, and then a calm voice came: "Let's go!"

"Did you take the wrong medicine?"

Muttering and stepping out the door, he didn't want the person in front of him to stay still, so she bumped into him.

Li Kongzhu covered his nose and looked at him dissatisfied, "When did the master have this interest?"

"At the moment!" the voice said softly, and the person had already left.

Li Kongzhu was stunned for a while, and then realized the meaning of his two words, could he be replying to her words?

"Not normal, so abnormal!"

Muttering and shaking his head, when did this man become interested in her?
