I married a playboy at the beginning, and I changed my fate by eating delicious food

"It looks good this way, I'll use it as a hairpin."

Xu Si and the other four women all had a branch of dogwood stuck on their heads. The green leaves were dotted with small red fruits, which was very eye-catching.

Originally, Lou Yuexin was planning to make it into a sachet, but was dissuaded by Xu Si. She thought that since she was only going to wear it for a day, why bother with that?

There is a custom of climbing high places on the Double Ninth Festival, in the hope of warding off evil spirits and avoiding disasters, and expressing good wishes for a happy life.

Thinking that the two children would be happier together, they made an appointment with Li the Butcher and his family to climb Ginkgo Mountain in the suburbs together.

As the name suggests, there are many ginkgo trees on the mountain. Overall, they are not very tall and not dangerous, so it is very suitable for taking children there.

The weather today is also very sunny and the autumn air is refreshing.

Early in the morning, Xu Si began to prepare food for the climb.

An indispensable item for the Double Ninth Festival is the Double Ninth Cake, which is actually osmanthus cake. I have made it before and I am very familiar with the recipe.

Because it emphasizes rich colors, matcha powder, purple sweet potato powder and pumpkin powder are added to it.

Matcha is green tea that is ground directly. As for the other two powders, the raw materials are sliced ​​and put into a clay kiln to dry before being ground.

After the 4 kinds of osmanthus cakes are made, spread a little osmanthus honey on them to make them look more delicate.

The second is chestnut cake.

Cut a small hole in the middle of the chestnuts you bought, wash them clean and pour them into the pot, add clean water and cook them, then put them in cold water.

"It's really easy to remove the skin this way." Su Jinyue sighed as she peeled the skin.

"It's all the same method, like boiling a hard-boiled egg and running it through cold water, and the shell will be easier to peel."

It probably uses the principle of thermal expansion and contraction.

Everyone worked together and the chestnuts were peeled quickly. After being steamed in a steamer, they were mashed and mixed with osmanthus honey. Divided into small pieces, they were pressed into flower shapes using the mooncake molds purchased earlier and were done.

What's left is chrysanthemum wine. She started brewing it three days in advance. Now the aroma of rice wine is blended with the fragrance of chrysanthemums, and the taste is very sweet and refreshing.

Put these three kinds of food into food boxes and prepare some wine glasses. It will feel like you are going on an outing.

After a while, Butcher Li and his family arrived.

"Here, we're going to share some of the crabs we bought this morning with you. Where should we put them?"

"I can do it, thank you Uncle Li," Xu Si stepped forward and took the net bag from his hand. The crabs in it were all very big and were crawling slowly.

I took a large bucket, poured some water into it, and put the crab in it. One reason was to prevent it from crawling out, and the other was to prevent it from dying from lack of water.

There are different opinions on whether dead crabs can be eaten.

Theoretically, it is not edible, but some people have eaten it and nothing happened. It depends on one's physical condition. Anyway, she values ​​her life very much, so she decided not to gamble.

"What are you thanking me for? You guys paid for the food when we went out, and we didn't do anything." Cuihua smiled embarrassedly.

The two little guys are sharing their kites.

"This is the goldfish kite my parents made for me." Qi Ning was very proud.

"That's amazing! My butterfly kite was bought." Ping An was very supportive.

Originally, Su Jinyue also planned to buy one for Qining, but later Xu Si said that he had made it before and could teach them.

He also said that they usually had little time to play with Qining, and this could also be used as a parent-child activity, so the couple gladly accepted it.

What Xu Si said about having done it was not completely true. When she made it, she bought the material package and followed the tutorial.

But it is not difficult to make in reality. You just need to split, bend, cut and connect the bamboo to make the kite skeleton, and then tie them together with string.

Then use glue on one side of the bracket to stick the paper to the frame, trying to make it as neat and smooth as possible.

Finally, draw your favorite pattern on the paper and tie it with thread.

For fear that his wife might hurt her hand, Shen Jingchuan was responsible for the previous steps, while Su Jinyue was responsible for painting.

It was getting late, so everyone started to set off.

Lan Lizhou and Acai had not left yet. There were 14 people in total, and 3 food boxes prepared in total. It looked like a grand procession, not like a climb but rather a fight.

There are ginkgo trees from the foot of the mountain, growing all the way to the top, and the whole mountain is golden.

Some people arrived earlier and had already come down the mountain, just in time to meet them head-on.

Crowds of people gathered in twos and threes, without any noise or impetuousness, and they all calmly enjoyed the scenery on the mountain.

In autumn, most ginkgo leaves have turned yellow and are fan-shaped. From a close distance, they look like butterflies flapping their wings in the wind.

Xu Si couldn't help but think of a poem, "A tree of ginkgo leaves is golden, and suddenly the autumn wind blows and dances with its gorgeous clothes."

While everyone was stopping to admire, she squatted down and found a few beautiful leaves at her feet and put them in a cloth bag.

After your trip, you should always leave some souvenirs. You can make them into bookmarks when you return home, or stick them together to make roses.

Qinghuan had been following her, and when he noticed her movements he squatted down too, looking so well behaved.

Xu Si thought about it, picked up two ginkgo leaves, one big and one small, folded them together, pinched them tightly, tied the two leaf stalks together into a knot, and then tore the leaves in the middle to form four wings.

A beautiful butterfly was ready. She handed it to Qinghuan. The girl held it carefully in her palm with a smile on her face.

There is a pavilion on the top of the mountain where people can rest. Someone brought a few pots of chrysanthemums and placed them in the corner, which is very suitable for the scene.

A few people found a suitable place, put down the food boxes, sat on the ground, felt the rare comfortable time, tasted the cakes, and drank a little wine from time to time, which was very refreshing.

The two little guys ate some and then refused to eat anymore, thinking about flying kites.

With the help of adults, he successfully flew the kite and ran happily around them.

I usually play at home, but the playing space is not big enough and I rarely have this much freedom.

When the two were tired of playing and the sun was rising high, they were held by their respective fathers and slowly walked down the mountain before parting ways.

I went out to play in the morning, so of course I don’t have time to make a lunch box. The store is closed at noon, so I can make a good lunch for myself.

This season is a good time to eat crabs. The crab meat is delicious and the crab roe is thick.

However, you need to be careful about what you eat when eating crabs, as there are many things that cannot be eaten together, such as persimmons, hawthorns and tea.

When Xu Si was using a brush to clean the crabs sent by Li the butcher, Qi Ning squatted beside him and watched curiously.

So she gave him some basic knowledge, "Look, the one with a round belly button is a female crab, and its leg hair is also short.

This is a male crab, with a small belly button, a pointed front, and long hairy legs.

This was the first time Qi Ning knew about this, and he took note of it, preparing to tell his friends about it next time.

When cleaning crabs, be sure to open their belly pockets as they are very dirty inside. If you don't clean them, they will have an earthy smell.

The crab was showing its claws and teeth all the time. Xu Si hit its mouth with chopsticks, and its vitality was immediately greatly reduced.

Although it is a bit cruel, getting pinched is not fun.

There are quite a lot of crabs, so Xu Si plans to make two kinds of them separately, one is the classic steamed crab, and the other is spicy crab.

Put water in the pot, pour a spoonful of cooking wine, put the steamer on, put some ginger slices on the bottom, and after the water boils, place the crab belly down in the pot.

Steaming with hot water can make the crab roe solidify quickly and prevent it from flowing out. It can also shorten the steaming time and keep the meat fresh and tender.

Steam it for one minute, then turn the crab over, cut some ginger slices and spread them on its belly, cover the pot, and steam over medium heat.

The next step is to prepare the sauce. Crabs are cold in nature, so even if she doesn’t like ginger, some ginger foam must be put into the dipping sauce, and then vinegar, soy sauce, and sugar must be poured in and mixed well.

After the crabs are steamed, the fresh aroma fills the air.

To make spicy crab, first cut it in the middle and apply starch on the cut to lock the crab roe.

When the oil is 70% hot, cut side down and set.

After it is shaped, stir-fry until golden brown, remove from the heat and set aside.

Leave some oil in the pot, add onion, ginger, garlic, peppercorns and dried chilies, stir-fry over medium-low heat until fragrant, pour in the fried crabs and mix evenly, finally pour in rice wine, soy sauce, salt and sugar to season, heat up high until the sauce thickens, and sprinkle with onion and chili segments.

Although Xu Si thought crabs were delicious, she didn't really know how to eat them. She just broke off the crab legs in the bowl and put them into her mouth.

Lou Yuexin hurriedly stopped her, took the crab leg from her hand, and said with a smile, "When eating crab legs, don't bite them directly with the shell. You can cut off both ends with scissors and poke them with chopsticks, and the meat will come out easily."

As he spoke, he put the crab meat into Xu Si's bowl.

He then reminded her worriedly, "Remember to remove the cheeks, stomach, intestines, and heart when you eat it."

As soon as Xu Si nodded, the crab in the bowl was picked up by Shen Yanchen.

She looked over in confusion and saw the other person carefully processing the crab. He peeled it in a few strokes and put the crab meat back into her bowl.

"Thank you." She didn't hesitate and tasted the crab happily. She was the one who cooked the crab, so what was wrong with peeling it for her?

Lou Yuexin was happy, "Achen is really good at eating crabs."

Seeing that she accepted it, Shen Yanchen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and quickly peeled some more for her, only stopping when she said she didn't want any more.
