7:50 Kyoto time:

Xu Yan sat at the wooden table early in the morning, and Zhenzhu sent a message at this time: Xiao Xu, we can just release it on time at 8 o'clock.

Xu Yan responded with an OK gesture.

Xu Yan waited until eight o'clock and released it on time. Now it depends on the result.

Xu Yan's editorial copy: If there is a touch of spring in this world that makes people linger, it must be colorful Yunnan. The beautiful Kunming, the soft Lijiang Ancient Town, the eternally peaceful Shangri-La, and the distant Dali. (Quoted from Baidu) @Nile Village Official Website.

The official website of Nile also released a promotional video at this time: Come with us to Yunnan, to Nile, to enjoy life and the natural beauty.

Xu Yan looked at it for a few seconds and then turned off her phone, then went downstairs to have breakfast. Aunt Chen cooked millet porridge this morning, and she thought that since everyone had eaten barbecue last night, it would be better to nourish the stomach this morning.

"Xiao Xu, have you finished the video?"

"Yes, Aunt Chen, we have already done it."

Xu Yan sat down and served herself a bowl of noodle soup. She had nothing to do today, so she left her cell phone upstairs and planned to go downstairs to get some fresh air.

"Xiao Xu, do you have anything to do today?"

"I have nothing to do, Aunt Chen, so I thought I'd stay for a while this morning."

There is a tree in the courtyard on the first floor, with a cushion next to it. This is where Xu Yan often lies on the first floor. When Xu Yan takes a break, she will come here to sit and lie down.

"Then do you want to go pick peaches with Auntie? How about picking some roses?"

"Okay, do you want to invite them to join us?"

The other three were still sleeping. They had no plans for today and planned to sleep in as late as they wanted.

Xu Yan had to wake up early because she was going to post a video.

"Forget it, let those girls sleep for a while, let's go over there."

Aunt Chen has already added Xu Yan to the list of early risers. It is rare to see a child of this age getting up early.

"Row"

Xu Yan saw that there was nothing to do, so she decided to follow Aunt Chen to pick fruit.

The two of them walked out of the door with a small basket. Aunt Chen closed the door. Uncle Ding had gone to the market to buy ingredients in the morning, so he would need to wait at least a while.

Aunt Chen walked in front, and Xu Yan followed behind. They turned several corners and arrived at a farmland.

"Let's go pick some roses first and go back to make rose cakes."

Rose cake is one of the pastries that most people in the village can make. It is a good snack to entertain outsiders or villagers.

As for the rose cake, Xu Yan had never tasted it.

"Rose cake?"

"It's a cake made with roses. It tastes sweet and delicious. We'll make more and let you girls send it back to your families to taste."

Aunt Chen said with a smile as she picked roses.

"Okay Aunt Chen."

Xu Yan filled her flower basket. There was enough space in the basket to hold the roses, and all that was left was to pick peaches.

Aunt Chen picked one, wiped it with her apron and handed it to Xu Yan: "Come here, girl Xu, taste it and see if it's sweet."

Xu Yan took the peach, which looked very good. Snap, Xu Yan took a bite, it was soft. Xu Yan preferred soft peaches with more juice to hard peaches.

"Sweet."

"This is perfect for selling. I can also go pick some grapes later. The grapes should be very sweet now because they are exposed to the sun."

Changing the subject: "But let's get Rose and Peach first today."

Aunt Chen and Xu Yan spent a long time getting the roses and then the peaches, both of which filled the frames.

"Hey, good morning, Aunt Chen."

"Hey, good morning."

When I met villagers on the road, I would greet them: "Who is this?"

Xu Yan saw the man pointing at her and asked Aunt Chen: "This is a guest of my hotel, Xu Yan. I asked my daughter Xu to pick roses and peaches with me. I plan to make some rose cakes."

"Oh ok, I'm leaving then Aunt Chen."

"Say hello to your mother"

"it is good!"

The man waved and left. Xu Yan didn't recognize him. Aunt Chen knew that Xu Yan didn't recognize him, so she introduced him to her: "This is Aunt Qiang Lin's child. She just came back during the summer vacation. You probably don't know Aunt Qiang Lin either. There is an embroidery workshop in the village, and her house is in the next room."

Xu Yan said "Oh" as if she suddenly understood something. She really couldn't recognize Aunt Qiang Lin, but she passed by there when she went to the embroidery workshop before, and saw a woman inside weaving something with bamboo strips.

Aunt Chen then began to introduce Aunt Qiang Lin: "Aunt Qiang Lin is very capable, and can be considered a craftsman. She is very good at weaving bamboo. She can even weave fish baskets and lanterns for the New Year with bamboo strips."

"When they are done, they will be sold. But Qiang Lin is also very tired. Her husband passed away a few years ago due to stomach cancer. Fortunately, her son is also very hardworking and has a stable job."

Xu Yan nodded as she listened.

The two chatted and returned to the hotel.

"Where have you been? Why are you picking so many roses?"

Chen Jiani was eating in the kitchen when she saw Xu Yan and Aunt Chen coming back from a distance, holding two baskets in their hands. Chen Jiani opened the one in Xu Yan's hand and saw a basket full of roses.

"Go call the others, let's make rose cakes."

When Chen Jiani heard that something had to be made, she ran upstairs quickly, and soon she was followed by Li Yiran and Su Rou.

"Rose cake? How are you made?"

"How to do it? Come and see."

Aunt Chen put the peaches aside, took the basket containing the roses, and brought a large basin from the kitchen. She poured the roses into the basin and washed them with pure mountain water.

"After washing, we need to pour a little honey into it, then add a little white sugar, and then a little clean water and stir it."

Aunt Chen did it as she spoke. She tried a sample on them and then asked Xu Yan and the others to try the same thing.

After washing their hands, the four people, two in each basin, began to "bathe" the roses.

A sweet scent emanates from the basin, and it smells delicious.

“Just knead it into a sticky consistency.”

Aunt Chen gave instructions inside the house while she was making the batter. Half an hour later, after repeated grinding by the four-person team, the rose petals turned into sticky broken rose petals.

“It feels like it can be drawn.”

Li Yiran sighed on the side.

When it was brought into the house, Aunt Chen had already kneaded the flour and the dough had risen.

"Come on, let's make rose cakes."

Aunt Chen yelled, "Lets go."

"Yohoo, another word in English."

The four people followed Aunt Chen's example, which was actually just like making dumplings. They spread out the dough and put the fillings in. In order to improve the taste, Aunt Chen also added some sesame seeds to enhance the flavor.

Several people made a lot of fillings, and Aunt Chen made just enough dough balls, but when the last one was finished, there were still some roses left.

"Aunt Chen, what should we do with these?"

"It's okay. I'll make some batter later and put these in together. Then we can make cookies. They'll be delicious."

Aunt Chen looked at the amount inside and thought it was more than enough to make a few cookies. It was already noon when they were making them. While Uncle Ding was making rose cakes, he talked about the menu for today's lunch.

Dongpo pork, seaweed and taro soup, braised chicken with mushrooms and steamed chicken, plus rose cookies that Aunt Chen wants to make.
