Smell osmanthus fragrance again. Many osmanthus trees have been planted on several main roads of the company. In late autumn, golden flowers are in full bloom, and each flower is very small, as big as a grain of rice, and they gather in groups.
The air is filled with the fragrance of osmanthus, which is sweet and greasy. A gust of wind blew and shook the flowers. A few flowers fell, and slowly, many osmanthus fell to the ground. In a few days, they will complete the mission of flowering.
Walking on the road in the afternoon, I saw several colleagues standing under the tree, holding plastic bags in one hand and picking sweet-scented osmanthus carefully in the other. Ask, say to want to pick some back to make osmanthus and Osmanthus Jelly.
Thinking of the word "osmanthus", I couldn't help but open WeChat and send a message to my best friend Yaner from childhood: "Sweet-scented osmanthus smells good, remember the sweet-scented osmanthus we made before?"
When I was a teenager, my home and Yaner's were not far away, and we always went to each other's home to play on weekends. Two osmanthus trees were planted in front of my house. Every autumn, the fragrance overflows several homes and can be smelled far away.
I always pick some and take them to school to smell for my classmates. In the closed era without internet, I don't know what osmanthus is except fragrance. One day, I heard a well-informed classmate say that osmanthus can be done. She saw her mother doing it at home and told us the general steps.
I can't wait to make osmanthus when I come back at the weekend. Carrying a small dustpan, I moved a long bench to a tree and stood on it to pick flowers. I tried to pick only the petals, and I had to pick them one by one after the other, which was much slower.
We talked while picking and talked all over the world. Our dog, Huang, is jumping around his feet happily, thinking of cooking something delicious for him.
I stopped picking after I had enough of a small bottle. Next, start to re-select and keep the petals with good quality. Seeing that the flowers are clean, we are too lazy to clean them.
I took out fine sugar and a glass bottle and began to bottle. She spread a layer of sugar, then a layer of osmanthus, compacted while spreading, and finally filled the bottle.
Cover it after installation, and then wrap it with transparent tape to ensure better sealing. There is no refrigerator at home, so we put it outdoors at night and indoors during the day to prevent the bottle from overheating.
Seeing that the sweet-scented osmanthus has changed its taste, the sugar slowly melts, and before the sugar liquid wraps the petals, it can't wait to open it and eat it. Each of us took a spoon and opened the lid carefully and solemnly. A person digs down with a spoon and sends it directly to his mouth. The sweetness of sugar and the fragrance of osmanthus flowers feel really sweet.
Then we took the steamed bread, each broke it in half and smeared it with osmanthus. Steamed bread is soft, sweet and delicious.
In the next few years, when sweet-scented osmanthus was fragrant, she was invited to my house to make sweet-scented osmanthus, and she rarely met her at the right time until she went to college.
Without her around, I am too lazy to start work again, and our year of osmanthus will be over.
The news went out silently. This is the nth time that she hasn't replied to my message. My dear best friend, she abandoned the teacher's establishment, married thousands of miles away, and was busy with things at home every day without touching the ground.
Because I have to communicate with customers constantly, my voice is even hoarse than when I was a teacher, and I have no time to deal with my little affection.
Smiled, put away my mobile phone, went under the tree and picked a little osmanthus in my hand, put it on my nose and smelled it, then gently blew it away. Being busy is a good thing. When we are busy, we will forget a lot of troubles, and we should all work hard for our own lives.
After thinking about it, should we consider finding another partner to make osmanthus? My daughter has grown to our age now, so it seems that she is the right person.
I want to buy osmanthus with wine, but I don't like it. Wish us all the best!
