The hunter's husband is so sweet

Chapter 121 Making Osmanthus Cake

With the osmanthus tree, Qi Xuan can make osmanthus honey, osmanthus cake, osmanthus jelly, etc. The tree that Fu Jingyi got was full of osmanthus flowers, and he directed Fu Jingyi to help him pick osmanthus flowers.

"Xiao Xuan, is that enough?" He asked Qi Xuan while holding a basket of freshly picked osmanthus flowers.

"Enough, enough, come down slowly, don't fall." Qi Xuan looked up at him, worried that he would fall.

Holding a basket of osmanthus flowers, Qi Yue also stepped forward to smell them, "Brother Xiaoxuan, they smell so good. What can I do with them?"

"There is a lot that can be done. You can do it later. I will make some osmanthus honey and take it back to my godmother." Qi Xuan said and ran to the kitchen.

"Xiao Chen, come and help me." Qi Xuan called Lin Chen in and gave him the task of washing the osmanthus flowers and cutting off the flower stems. "After washing, take them to a cool place to dry. I'll make the sugar first."

Qi Xuan can now light the fire skillfully by himself, without having to call his man for help every time. After the fire is lit, he slowly boils it according to the method he remembered, using one pound of white sugar or rock sugar and two pounds of water.

He kept stirring while boiling to evaporate the excess water. After boiling for about an hour, the syrup became stringy when lifted. He turned off the fire and poured in all the osmanthus flowers that had been drying.

After cooling, he filled the glass jars with the wine, filling five jars. He suddenly remembered that the wine he had brewed before might be ready, so he ran to check on the wine. Everyone in the courtyard watched Qi Xuan busy in the kitchen, then ran to the courtyard.

"Xiao Xuan, what are you busy with?" Fu Jingyi felt sorry for his husband's hard work, so he went to help him. When he got to his side, Qi Xuan used the long-handled wooden spoon that Fu Jingyi had made for him before to scoop a spoonful of wine into the cup, "Brother Yi, try it, how does it taste?"

Fu Jingyi first smelled it, which was full of the aroma of grapes. He took a sip and said, "It tastes good. It has the aroma of grapes at the beginning, a hint of sweetness, and the aroma of wine at the end."

Qi Xuan also took a sip and it was just as Fu Jingyi said, without any sour taste. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that it was a wise decision to remove the grape skins.

Qi Yue saw the couple whispering about something and wanted to go over to take a look, but Qi Zheng stopped her, "They are just talking to each other, why are you joining in the fun?"

At this time, Fu Jingyi ran to the kitchen and took out a few empty glass bottles. Qi Xuan filled them with wine and then closed the lids tightly.

"Brother Zheng, this is osmanthus honey, and this is wine. Take them back." Qi Xuan pointed at the bottles and said to him. Fu Jingyi also brought a few glasses of wine for them to taste.

Qi Yue was hesitant to drink it, so he licked it gently and found that there was no smell of alcohol but rather the sweetness of grapes. Just when he was about to drink it all in one gulp, he said, "Hey, Xiaoyue, drink slowly. This wine has a strong aftereffect. It doesn't taste like alcohol now, but you'll be drunk in a while." Qi Xuan hurriedly stopped him.

"Ah, so that's it." Qi Yue sipped the wine obediently. Lin Chen was afraid that he would get drunk, so he also sipped it. Qi Zheng had a good alcohol tolerance and drank it all in one gulp. "Good wine."

Qi Xuan was very happy to hear their comments and gave Qi Zheng another bottle. "Take it and drink it. Take it and drink it."

Qi Zheng also accepted it happily. The two brothers were preparing to go home, and Qi Xuan told them that he wanted to go to town tomorrow to see if there were any plums for sale and make some sour plum soup.

Qi Yue wanted to go with them to find Zhang Hui, and Qi Zheng also wanted to go to see the progress of the furniture he had ordered. They agreed to meet up tomorrow and then separated.

After Lin Chen finished the small glass of wine, he felt a little dizzy, "Brother, I'm a little sleepy." He stared at Qi Xuan for a while, then said, "Brother, how come you have become two."

Qi Xuan held back his laughter and helped the man back to the house to lie down. "Go to sleep. The kitchen will keep your meal warm. If you are hungry when you wake up, go eat." Qi Xuan left the house without knowing whether Lin Chen heard it or not.

Fu Jingyi was still waiting for him in the yard, "What's wrong with Xiaochen?" Qi Xuan couldn't help laughing, "Maybe he's drunk." Then they both looked at the small bowl of wine. Even Qi Yue was fine after drinking it, so it seemed that Xiaochen couldn't be allowed to drink any wine in the future, otherwise it would be easy to get into trouble.

Qi Xuan wrote down the recipe for osmanthus cake, and suddenly thought of another dish, braised pig's trotters! He decided to buy some pig's trotters tomorrow and stew them first. After writing down the recipe, Qi Xuan also felt sleepy. He didn't rest well yesterday, and he slept for a while this afternoon, but it didn't help. Now he is sleepy again.

He didn't want to eat dinner, he just wanted to go to bed. "Brother Yi, are you hungry? Do you want to eat anything tonight?" Qi Xuan asked with a yawn.

Looking at her husband whose bruises had not yet faded, Fu Jingyi didn't want him to do anything else. "There are still buns from the morning. I'll make myself a bowl of noodles later. Go and have a rest if you're sleepy."

"Well, I'm going to sleep then." Qi Xuan rubbed his eyes. "By the way, you should do more. If Xiaochen wakes up and is hungry, he will have something to eat."

"Okay, go and have some rest." Fu Jingyi's voice was so soft and gentle that Qi Xuan became even more sleepy. He went to bed without even washing up.

He slept very comfortably and was full of energy when he woke up. The man next to him hadn't woken up yet. He didn't know when he went to bed last night. Qi Xuan got out of bed quietly.

Yesterday's osmanthus honey came in handy. While it was still early, he made a plate of osmanthus cake and prepared three bowls of osmanthus water for Lin Chen and Fu Jingyi to drink when they woke up.

There was not much noodles left in the pot last night, probably because Lin Chen had woken up. Qi Xuan cleaned the pot, cooked some porridge, and steamed some brown sugar steamed cake.

Just as they finished putting all this on the table, Fu Jingyi got up and was washing up. "Xiaoxuan, you've done it all."

"I had a good sleep yesterday, and I feel energetic today." Qi Xuan brought him a cup of osmanthus honey water. After drinking it, Fu Jingyi felt that his throat was much better. "Thank you, my wife." He whispered in Qi Xuan's ear.

"You..." Qi Xuan's face suddenly turned red, "Didn't I say don't call me that?" Fu Jingyi knew when to stop and teased his husband for a while before backing away.

Lin Chen also held his head and walked out of the house, "Brother, I still feel a little dizzy." Qi Xuan took some honey water and gave it to him to drink, "You will feel much better after drinking it, drink it quickly."

Lin Chen obediently took the cup of honey water and drank it. Afterwards, he really felt better and his throat was not so uncomfortable anymore. "Brother, what's wrong with me?"

"You, you have no tolerance for alcohol at all. Remember not to drink in the future." Qi Xuan warned him seriously, "Also, did you eat the noodles last night?"

"Yeah." Lin Chen nodded. "I woke up from a nap and felt hungry. I think I heard you say there was food in the pot, so I came to look for it."

Qi Xuan pinched his nose and said, "You really didn't forget to eat even when you were drunk." Lin Chen hugged his arm and acted coquettishly.

Fu Jingyi called them to eat at the right time, as they had to go to town soon.
