Chapter 611 Osmanthus Candy
Xia Wanniang turned over and sat up, looking at the osmanthus tree outside the window. She wondered if the osmanthus tree in the yard of Liuyang Village was also blooming so beautifully.
She thought for a moment and said, "Today we will pick osmanthus flowers to make osmanthus candy."
Xile: “Is it delicious?”
Xibao: "Sweet?"
Xia Wanniang quickly got out of bed, had breakfast, and went to the osmanthus tree with a basket to see where to start.
Xiao Chiye came back with his three children, and when he saw that she was picking osmanthus flowers, he simply helped her.
The family started picking osmanthus flowers in the yard, and Xiao Chiye and his son picked them from the trees.
Xia Wanniang and her two daughters were receiving the flowers below, and their clothes and heads were covered with osmanthus flowers, which also made their whole family smell like osmanthus flowers.
Aunt Xiao didn't see them, so she curiously went to their yard to take a look, and then she found that they were all picking osmanthus flowers: "Why are they picking the flowers for no reason?"
"Make something delicious." Xibao's head was covered with osmanthus flowers.
Xile's head also said: "Yes, sugar is sweet."
Aunt Xiao walked over to them with a smile and took off the osmanthus flowers on their heads: "Are you planning to make osmanthus candy?"
Xia Wanniang smiled and nodded: "Seeing the sweet osmanthus flowers in full bloom, I thought of picking them and making some sweet osmanthus candy, so I can eat it whenever I want."
Aunt Xiao looked at the many osmanthus flowers in the basket and said, "Enough, enough. Let them bloom for a while longer. Otherwise, you and your son will pluck all the flowers off the tree."
Xiao Chiye and his three sons jumped down from the tree, picked up the clean osmanthus flowers and put them on the colander.
Before I had finished picking up the osmanthus flowers, the group of ancestors from my family rushed in and trampled the osmanthus flowers on the ground until they were unusable.
Xia Wanniang also felt a headache looking at these guys. None of them was worry-free.
Lai Fu looked up lazily, then kicked Qi Xi, who was about to come close to him, a little further away, with an expression that said, "Don't get close to me."
Qixi looked aggrieved, and his family status plummeted.
Xia Wanniang ignored them and went to the kitchen with a basket to learn how to make osmanthus candy with Aunt Xiao.
Xiao Chiye and several children followed behind.
They worked together to remove the branches and leaves from the osmanthus flowers, then washed the flowers and put them outside to dry.
Aunt Xiao asked Xiao Chishen to light a fire and start to boil the sugar water. When it became thick, she added dried osmanthus flowers, boiled for a while, and then added honey.
After it has cooled down, put it in a bottle and it is done. When you want to eat it, you can add a spoonful of sweet osmanthus honey.
Aunt Xiao thought for a while and made some cold shrimps. The method was not difficult and it was done quickly. After putting them in well water to cool down, she added boiled water and osmanthus honey.
A bowl of sweet osmanthus honey cold shrimp is ready.
Everyone in the Xiao family held a bowl of cold shrimp in their hands and sat under the eaves outside the kitchen yard.
The icy and cool taste makes the weather feel a lot cooler.
Aunt Xiao was afraid that the children would have stomach problems if they ate too much, so she only let them have one bowl and eat the rest the next day.
When there was nothing to do, the whole family sat together and played poker.
When Yu Wanwan returned home on the third day, she saw the family sitting cross-legged on a carpet under a big tree, playing cards: "You didn't call me when you had something fun."
"Aunt Xu, we had delicious osmanthus cold shrimps yesterday!" Xi Bao said proudly.
Yu Wanwan and Xu Li were unhappy and ran to Aunt Xiao's side: "Aunt, I want to eat osmanthus cold shrimp too."
Aunt Xiao looked at the two gluttons and said, "I'll leave it for you." Then she looked at Qiu He and said, "Go and bring it to them."
Qiu He smiled and went to the kitchen to bring them two bowls of osmanthus cold shrimp.
Xu Li looked at Xile smugly: "What you ate yesterday, I ate today. Do you have nothing to eat today?"
Xile felt wronged when she heard this, and her eyes were filled with tears: "Mom, Uncle Xu is bullying me."
Xibao also cried out "wa" in grievance.
Xiao Chiye picked up his two precious daughters and glared at Xu Li: "Don't cry, Daddy will give it to you. It's bigger than the bowl he eats from, okay?"
The two children stopped crying, looked at him pitifully with tearful eyes and nodded.
