Su Qingluan saw the other party's speechless look and couldn't help but laugh: "Isn't this snack made just for eating? Do you still have to offer it?"
Liu Yunniang looked at the lotus cake and exclaimed: "Isn't this like those tributes given to Bodhisattvas and immortals?"
She said that, but when she saw Su Qingluan munching the flower-like snacks in front of her without any politeness or regret, her original feeling of heartache seemed to have eased a lot.
So Liu Yunniang put the lotus cake she was holding into her mouth and took a bite carefully.
"Crack, click, click..." As the teeth gently touched the position of the petals, the crispy and thin petals that were fried fell into pieces layer by layer, making a series of tiny and crisp sounds in Liu Yunniang's mouth.
Then the meringue mixed with the aroma of oil and a touch of sweetness fell in Liu Yunniang's mouth, as if a sweet snow had fallen.
"It's so crispy!" Liu Yunniang didn't bother to wipe away the crumbs of pastry in her mouth, her eyes lit up, "And it seems to have a little sweetness - I thought it only had a strong smell of oil."
Then she looked closer and looked at the stamen: "What is this? Coconut?"
Su Qingluan nodded: "It's coconut, not coconut, but I added a little bit of other things to it, and it tastes pretty good." As she said that, she slowly ate the remaining half of the lotus cake, and then picked up the hot dish in front of her. Tea.
Well, there is nothing wrong with this lotus cake, except that it tastes a bit dry. If Liu Yunniang hadn't poured her a cup of tea, it would probably have made her throat burnt.
You can't tell what kind of tea this tea is - the tea leaves are all broken. In the words of the previous life, this is called "highly broken". It is probably the most ordinary green tea. You can taste the tea aroma, but it is a bit bitter.
However, Su Qingluan felt that this tea could just relieve the greasiness of the lotus cake, and it could also serve as a snack that would burn your throat, killing two birds with one stone.
While taking a sip of tea, Liu Yunniang had already reached the "stamen" position. She opened her eyes wide in surprise: "This is not just the taste of coconut... jasmine?"
"Yes," Su Qingluan nodded, "I added a little jasmine tea powder to it. Does it taste good?"
"It's delicious! It's so delicious!" Liu Yunniang couldn't help but take another bite of the stamen part.
The sweet coconut would be a bit greasy if eaten in one mouthful, but with the addition of a small amount of jasmine tea powder, the fragrance of jasmine and the slight bitterness of the tea itself instantly neutralize the sweetness of the coconut.
However, Liu Yunniang herself has a sweet tooth, and she did not find coconut paste difficult to swallow. She only said: "This snack has a light sweetness, and it has the fragrance of jasmine. Not to mention me, even my dad who never eats sweet desserts can eat it." Eat two!"
Su Qingluan smiled and said: "As long as you like it, then the resentment that made you work overtime before should be eliminated, right?"
Liu Yunniang snorted: "I have a short mouth to eat others, but a short hand to take advantage of others. What else can I say?"
After coming out of Liu's house, Su Qingluan took a deep breath of the crisp late autumn air - although it was cold, it was clean, and it seemed to cleanse her soul from the inside out.
It was a rare break from the busy rhythm before, and Su Qingluan was finally in the mood to take a walk back slowly.
On the way home, he happened to encounter a vendor slaughtering live pigs. Su Qingluan thought that there was not much bacon in stock at home, so she planned to buy another piece.
People waiting to buy pork were queuing up. When Su Qingluan passed by, the queue was already very long. After all, you can't come across such live pigs at any time. What's more, winter is about to begin, and every family is preparing winter vegetables, and more people will be waiting to buy pork.
In the queue, Su Qingluan also spotted many people from Huaxi Village. These people immediately recognized Su Qingluan. Wu Dani even got to the front of the queue, and she was the sixth one.
When she saw Su Qingluan, she pulled Su Qingluan over without saying a word: "Wait for me! This will save you from losing any good meat behind!"
Someone behind who didn’t know Su Qingluan was unhappy: “Hey, why do you let this little girl jump in the queue?”
It was also the first time in Su Qingluan's life that she jumped in line with such fanfare. She felt her ears were burning, so she whispered: "Sister Wu, I'd better go to the back and wait in line..."
"You're right here!" Wu Dani's voice stopped Su Qingluan in place, "Why did you jump in line? Even if she is at the back, I will buy her share by the way. Isn't it the same for her in front and behind? This It’s my relative, what’s wrong with helping me buy a piece of pork?”
The man was still unconvinced and muttered in the back, but the people behind him urged: "Stop arguing, if you keep arguing, all the people in front to buy pork will be finished!" A few people looked at it and saw that there were only three people left in the front. , there is a large space in front of Wu Dani.
Wu Dani was also annoyed by the person behind her and lost her temper. She waved her hand and said, "You go first, you go first. I want you to line up in front of me, right?"
When the man saw that he could be one in advance, he finally stopped mumbling and calmed down. Su Qingluan's uncomfortable feeling of being roasted on the fire finally disappeared.
"Isn't there just one more person?" Wu Dani said "tsk" nonchalantly, "Are you so narrow-minded?"
As the beneficiary of the "censorship" itself, Su Qingluan decided to treat herself as a mute: in this case, even if she disagreed with the act of censorship itself, she couldn't say it herself, otherwise wouldn't it be that she was being cheap and being good?
Unable to say anything more about the "censorship" issue, Su Qingluan looked at the longer and longer queue behind him and was a little puzzled: "There seem to be a lot of people queuing up to buy pork today?"
"There are many, and many of them are from our village." Wu Erni said, pushing Su Qingluan, "Well, you're next!"
Su Qingluan quickly said thank you, then stepped forward and said: "I want a piece of three-finger fat pork belly and a piece of suet!" He gestured to the size of the meat.
The pork butcher didn't raise his head or open his eyes: "The suet costs five cents more per catty." Then he quickly cut off the pork with an ear knife.
Su Qingluan happily gave the money, and then heard Wu Dani calling her: "Shopkeeper Su, do you want to go back to the village directly?"
"Maybe I need to buy some vegetables and then go back."
"Then wait for me, let's go on the way." Wu Dani said, turning around to weigh the meat.
So, Su Qingluan and Wu Dani walked together on the road to Huihuaxi Village.
Su Qingluan looked at the stalls on both sides and looked at Wu Dani: "It's not my imagination. I really feel that many people in our village buy things in the town - there didn't seem to be so many before!"
"Indeed, there are not so many," Wu Dani looked at Su Qingluan meaningfully, "Everyone has eaten one meal before finishing another. They wish they could all chew the bark of the trees. If they have the time, they would go down to the river to catch fish and go up the mountain to pick fruits. If there is no such thing, Spend your free time visiting the town and going to the market.”
As for buying food and drink in the town, that's even more impossible, because there is no spare money.
