Chapter 200 (continued)
Even so, he still insisted on going to the livestock shed to check on them. Only when he saw that the little ones were all asleep in their respective dens did he feel relieved.
The next Shi Wen also slept until she naturally woke up.
When he woke up, it was still raining outside, the pitter-patter of raindrops was getting on his nerves.
He took his phone out of the bedside table. It was already past eight in the morning. Yan Kexing had gotten up as usual, leaving him alone in bed.
He yawned and quickly remembered the chive blossoms they had discussed yesterday.
So, without even washing up, he quickly put on his slippers and went to look out the window.
As soon as I opened the window, a gust of cold wind blew in, instantly cooling down the warm bedroom.
Sure enough, there were scattered chive blossoms outside the bedroom, blooming even more profusely than last year, creating a dense floral carpet from here.
The quality of this year's chive blossoms is also very high; he could see many buds at a glance.
These flower buds are perfect for making chive blossom sauce; they taste the best.
Shi Wen puts me in a great mood.
He quickly put on his clothes and shoes and ran outside. "You guessed it, a lot of chive blossoms have indeed bloomed today."
Yan Kexing: "The chive blossoms in the yard are still a bit lacking. Go outside and see; the chive blossoms there are much more lush."
Shi Wen, "This is still lacking something. How lush are the chive blossoms outside?"
Yan Kexing smiled and said, "You'll see when you go outside. We're having mutton noodles for breakfast, it'll be ready in a while."
They always have frozen lamb in their freezer, but they rarely eat such substantial meat in the morning.
Shi Wen, "Why did you suddenly want to eat mutton noodles?"
"It's a bit cold, eat something warm and nourishing." Yan Kexing, seeing him standing beside him, urged again, "Why don't you go outside and look at the chive blossoms?"
Upon Shi Wen this, Shi Wen knew that the chive blossoms outside must be blooming exceptionally well, otherwise Yan Kexing wouldn't have mentioned it twice.
"I'll go now. Is it still raining outside?"
"It's stopped raining, but it's best to wear rain boots, the grass outside is a bit wet."
Shi Wen hearing this, Shi Wen took out his high-top rain boots from the shoe cabinet, put them on, and went out the door.
When it rains here, the temperature drops significantly, as if autumn has arrived overnight.
He rubbed his arms, then turned around and grabbed a coat to put on.
He stepped outside the main courtyard and discovered that the chive blossoms on the grassland were even more exaggerated than those inside the courtyard.
These chive blossoms are so densely packed that even describing them as a floral carpet is an understatement; they're more like a coral fleece carpet.
The flowers were layered upon layered, appearing densely packed, and at a glance, the entire grassland turned into a white and green expanse.
Shi Wen that some plants could bloom very profusely, but this was still too exaggerated; it was beyond his imagination.
He had no idea where these plants got so much energy to produce so many flowers.
No wonder Yan Kexing called him out to see it; the scene was truly spectacular.
Shi Wen watched for a while, then couldn't resist taking out his phone to snap a picture of the scene.
It was so spectacular that he didn't know if he would ever have the chance to see it a second time.
After taking the photos, he squatted down and smelled the chive blossoms.
Chive blossoms have almost no smell, probably because it had just rained, and the flowers were covered with glistening water droplets, which had dissolved the scent.
However, if you gently pluck a single flower, the small chive blossoms will be plump and tender, and you can crush the whole flower with a pinch of your hand.
After being crushed, the chive blossoms have a very strong aroma, with a subtle fragrance unique to this plant.
Shi Wen quickly picked a small handful of chive blossoms with a few swift movements and took them to Yan Kexing.
Yan Kexing was still cooking when he patted Yan Kexing on the shoulder.
Yan Kexing turned around, and with a swift motion, he pulled out the chive blossoms and held them up in front of Yan Kexing.
Yan Kexing laughed, "Were the flowers you delivered today chive blossoms?"
Shi Wen, holding up that small bouquet of flowers, said, "I'm just doing it for the occasion. We're having mutton noodles today, so I was wondering if adding chive blossoms would make it taste even better?"
Yan Kexing: "So it wasn't a gift for me; you wanted to eat it yourself."
Shi Wen, "No, we'll eat together, if you don't mind the strong smell of chive blossoms."
"Let's brush our teeth together after we eat." Yan Kexing took the bouquet of chives from his hand. "Should we just put them in the pot?"
Shi Wen: "I'll listen to you."
The two of them each ate a bowl of chive blossom noodles.
The fresh, spicy aroma of chive blossoms paired with the mild and flavorful noodles creates a unique taste. Add to that the large chunks of lamb and the special chili sauce, and the flavor is simply divine.
Shi Wen quickly ate a large bowl of food, and afterwards, he was sweating profusely.
After finishing his noodles, he drank a cup of honey lemon water. Shi Wen felt that even if he were to trade being an immortal for that taste, he would still be at a loss.
After brushing her teeth, Shi Wen asked Yan Kexing, "How about I have someone come over and make some chive blossom sauce today?"
Yan Kexing: "Not until the water dries up?"
Shi Wen, "Let's not wait any longer. We're going to wash them anyway. We'll just bring a big fan over and blow-dry them, and that should be enough. If all else fails, we can clean out the room where Heiwa and the others were getting their fur blown away and put the chive blossoms there to dry."
These chive blossoms are so tempting! Shi Wen they weren't made into chive blossom sauce.
Yan Kexing took leave to stay home and help out; he was particularly good at seasoning.
He was on his way to work Shi Wen put her arm around his neck and said she only wanted to eat the chive blossom sauce he had prepared, so he smiled and agreed.
Shi Wen also invited Fu Meng and others to help make chive blossom sauce.
Fu Meng and the others were doing something else, they might not be able to handle it, but as soon as they heard that they were coming to make chive blossom sauce, everyone patted their chests and said they would come right away, wanting to come and taste their chive blossom sauce.
There are so many chive blossoms this year that picking them by hand might be quite troublesome.
