0166 Sweetness(2/2)
To be honest, Feng Yong was used to eating all kinds of artificial desserts in later generations. The slightly astringent sweets in the bowl really couldn't enter Feng Yong's mouth. He hadn't tasted sweets for a long time, so he tasted them twice and was satisfied.
, and no longer eat.
"Sanniang, what on earth is this?"
Feng Yong put down the bowl and looked at Guan Ji.
"Stone honey."
Guan Ji was slightly surprised when she saw that Feng Yongqian stopped eating after one taste. It was the first time for her to eat such sweets, and she couldn't help but want to eat more. She never thought that her brother could not only control her appetite, but also eat more.
Even looking at that look, he didn't seem to take it seriously, which is really rare.
"Brother, why don't you eat more? Is it possible that you don't like sweets?"
"Unappetizing."
Feng Yong shook his head, his expression indifferent.
"Why doesn't it taste good?" Zhao Guang almost jumped up, "Brother doesn't think it tastes good, how about giving it to my little brother?"
"Take it."
Feng Yong pushed the bowl to indicate that he didn't want to eat anymore.
"Thank you, brother."
Zhao Guang came over without politeness and took away the bowl.
"What is this stone honey made of?" Feng Yong frowned slightly, "Why have I never heard of this thing?"
"This product is a tribute. It is only produced in the Jiaozhou area. In the past, only people in the royal family could occasionally eat it. How do ordinary people know about it?"
Guan Ji felt that it was normal for Feng Yong to know. Even most people in the court did not know this. If her aunt hadn't been born into a wealthy family in Jingzhou and happened to see it, she would have been laughed at by Soochow this time.
After saying that, Guan Ji took out a few short sticks from the package and put them on the table. She picked up one of them and shook it. She smiled and said, "Shimi is made of this thing. Brother, do you know it?"
"
Feng Yong felt a little funny when he saw Guan Ji taking out a stick from her bag. He thought to himself that she was really crazy about martial arts. Others put clothes in their bags, but she put sticks in her bag. And what could such a short stick do?
Unexpectedly, when he took a closer look, he was shocked. He couldn't wait to pick up one, looked at it over and over for a while, and then said in disbelief: "Sugar cane?!"
Guan Ji originally thought that her brother must not know about this thing, but she heard the word sugar cane from Feng Yong's mouth, and her eyes suddenly widened: "Brother also knows about this thing?"
"How could I not know? Little..."
Feng Yong only looked at the sugar cane in his hand and almost spilled the words, but luckily he stopped in time.
What I loved most when I was a child was when the sugar cane started to smell sweet. The vast tracts of sugar cane forest in the village were simply greener than the green gauze tents. Not to mention people, even big animals got in. As long as they didn’t make any big noise, nothing could happen outside.
can not tell.
For children who lack snacks, this time is the happiest time.
The kid who usually doesn't like farm work the most, but once he heard that he was going to work in the sugar cane fields, he really liked it.
Whether peeling leaves from sugar cane or weeding, I will carefully look at every sugar cane. As long as it has insect eyes or has fallen to the ground, I can break it open and eat it.
When you take a bite, the sweet juice fills your mouth, and it feels like it is the most delicious thing in the world.
Sometimes I really can't find a suitable excuse, so I secretly push a sugar cane to the ground when the adults are not paying attention, but I don't dare to let it break, because when the sugar cane breaks, it will make a crisp sound.
When the sun is about to go down, adults carry sugarcane leaves on their shoulders, and there are often two or three sugarcane sticks stuffed in the sugarcane leaves.
The children following behind had small red wounds on their arms and hands cut by sugarcane leaves, but they didn't care. Instead, they would happily hold a piece of sugarcane, unwilling to put it in the sugarcane leaf.
The adults bear it.
"Good stuff!"
