Following the scent, we walked along the way and soon passed through a small forest. Another forest area appeared in front of us, and there was a very strong fragrance.
Feng Ruoruo took a deep breath and shouted, "Dad, it smells so good."
Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei also followed suit.
Three little girls stood in front of the osmanthus forest, breathing deeply and smelling the rich fragrance of the osmanthus flowers.
Then, the three little girls exhaled loudly and shouted, "It smells so good."
The cute looks of the little girls were also captured by Feng Yifan who instantly picked up the camera.
Although I didn't capture the funniest scene, I still managed to capture the moment where the little girls stretched their heads forward and tried hard to smell the fragrance.
Li Feier was also a little surprised when she saw the osmanthus trees in front of her: "It smells really good here. I didn't expect there would be such a large osmanthus forest here. Was it planted by someone else? Isn't it bad for us to go in like this?"
Yang Zhiyi pointed to a place not far away and said, "Look over there, isn't there a family taking care of the forest?"
After hearing what Yang Zhiyi said, Feng Yifan and the others turned their heads and looked over. Sure enough, they saw a small courtyard with a wooden fence at the edge of the woods, with a few bungalows inside.
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "There's someone watching the forest, so let's go over and ask if we can pick some osmanthus flowers to bring back. We can use them to make a lot of things. We can also make osmanthus jam for the children, which they can use to spread on bread at home in the morning."
Feng Ruoruo immediately said, "Dad, how do we spread the bread slices? Don't we go to Grandpa's restaurant in the morning and eat what Uncle Xiaolin, Uncle Xiaoma and Uncle Xiaoning cook?"
Hearing his daughter's words, Feng Yifan smiled and said, "We can go and have the breakfast made by your three uncles, but Feifei and Xixi can't come every day, so Daddy will make some osmanthus jam for them, and they can eat it with bread at home."
Feng Ruoruo said immediately after hearing this: "Then Ruoruo should also spread it on bread and eat it."
As if cooperating with its little master, the puppy that was led all the way by the three little girls also barked twice.
When Feng Ruoruo heard the puppy barking, she said with a smile, "Look, Dad, Tiantian wants to eat too."
At this time, Chen Yaofei said: "Tiantian is still better. She can come out and play with us, but my cat can't come with us."
The pet cat in Chen Yaofei's home is obviously a lazy type. When exposed to the afternoon sun, the cat is unwilling to move at all.
So when they went out to play, only the puppy was led by the girls.
Feng Ruoruo listened to her friend and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, we have Tiantian with us. Feifei, look, Tiantian knows you too. And Xixi, Tiantian knows you too."
As if in response to its master's words, the puppy barked twice at the two little girls.
Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei were also very happy to see this. They bent down and touched the puppy's head.
Feng Yifan continued, "Well, should we hurry over there? Otherwise, it will be too late and we may not have time to pick osmanthus flowers."
Hearing this, the children immediately took the puppy and ran to the yard beside the woods.
Feng Yifan, Yang Zhiyi, and Li Feier and his wife also followed quickly.
When they reached the wooden fence, almost as soon as the little girls approached with the puppy, a burst of dog barking was heard from inside the fence.
The moment Feng Yifan and Yang Zhiyi heard it, the two fathers reacted almost instinctively and rushed forward to protect the little girls.
Fortunately, the barking of the dog attracted the owner of the house, and after the owner scolded, the dog in the fenced yard also fell silent.
The host looked at Feng Yifan and the others outside and asked curiously, "Are you here to play? What's the matter?"
Seeing that the host was quite friendly, Feng Yifan took the initiative to say, "Hello, this is what happened. We came here smelling the sweet-scented osmanthus. I wanted to ask if you can pick the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers here? I want to pick some and bring them back to make snacks for the children."
Because of the barking of the dog, the little girls hid behind their two fathers.
But when I heard the conversation, I couldn't help but peek from behind my father.
Feng Ruoruo was even bolder. After her father finished talking about making snacks, she shouted, "And Daddy is going to make osmanthus jam for us."
After Feng Ruoruo shouted, she quickly retracted her little head behind her father.
When Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei heard Feng Ruoruo shout, they quickly hid behind their two fathers.
The person inside the wooden fence looked at the two fathers outside, then stretched his head to look at the little girl hiding behind the two fathers, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
Then, the people inside came out and said, "No problem, if you want to pick them, go ahead, but be careful not to damage the trees, and don't pick them from the same tree."
When the other party came out, Feng Yifan and Yang Zhiyi realized that the person talking to them was not very old.
He doesn't look like a mountain person, but rather a handsome student.
After taking a closer look, Feng Yifan asked, "Are you still a student?"
The other person smiled and said, "Yes, I'm studying in another city. During holidays, I come back to help my family look after the forest. In fact, these are all considered saplings, and they may be dug up next year."
Feng Yifan nodded and said, "Thank you very much for giving us the opportunity to pick osmanthus flowers."
The young forest owner said, "You're welcome. I'm really lucky to have Chef Feng come to my forest to pick osmanthus flowers."
After hearing this, Feng Yifan realized that the other party had recognized him.
Yang Zhiyi and Li Feier smiled at each other. Yang Zhiyi said, "So you are a fan of our chef Feng?"
The young man said: "Yes, I am indeed a fan of Chef Feng. I have also learned the dishes that Chef Feng taught in his online videos, but I just can't cook them well."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Actually, when you cook those dishes at home, you don't have to pursue beauty like I taught you. As long as you season them according to my instructions and they taste good, that's fine."
The young man said seriously: "That would be soulless."
These words stunned Feng Yifan and the other two.
Then Yang Zhiyi laughed: "Hahaha, that's right, the plating cannot be without the artificiality. Only when the plating is also done, can it be considered a perfect replica of Chef Feng's dishes."
Yang Zhiyi's words also made everyone laugh.
The three little girls who were hiding behind their father came out from behind him when they saw the adults were laughing.
Then the three little girls were eager to try and wanted to pick osmanthus flowers quickly.
"Dad, let's hurry up."
"Dad Feng, let's get started."
"Dad Feng, hurry up."
Seeing the three little girls, the young man smiled and said, "I've seen people saying on the Internet that Chef Feng has three very cute daughters. Today I saw them and they really lived up to their reputation. They are really three very cute girls."
Feng Yifan then said to the children: "Say hello to him and call him brother."
The three little girls immediately greeted each other in unison: "Hello, brother."
The young man responded: “Hello.”
After responding, the young man said to Feng Yifan: "Chef Feng, you see I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Pan Yanggui."
Feng Yifan smiled, stretched out his hand, shook hands with the other party and said, "Hello."
Pan Yanggui did not waste any more time and said to Feng Yifan and the others, "Okay, Chef Feng, go pick the fruits. Just don't pick just one tree."
Feng Yifan nodded and said, "Okay, we will definitely pay attention."
When we got to the front of the woods, we started preparing to pick the fruits.
Li Feier was still a little confused: "Why don't you let us pick them from the same tree?"
Yang Zhiyi took the lead in explaining: "Because if we pick them from one tree, it will cause the tree to become bare, and then it will be difficult to eat. So Pan Yanggui asked us to pick them from different trees."
Li Feier smiled and said, "Okay, let's get started quickly. Look, the three little guys are already getting impatient waiting."
The two fathers looked down and saw that the three little girls were indeed eager to try.
Whether it was Feng Ruoruo, Yang Xiaoxi or Chen Yaofei, they all washed their hands carefully and were ready to help their father pick more flowers.
However, when they arrived outside the forest and started to enter, the three little girls found that they were not tall enough and could not touch the osmanthus flowers on the branches.
Feng Ruoruo pouted immediately: "Dad, these are so high, Xixi, Feifei and I can't even touch them, how are we going to pick them?"
Yang Xiaoxi also said: "Yes, it's too high."
Chen Yaofei said: "Father Feng, how are we going to pick it?"
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Don't worry, the three of you. We are not going to pluck the flowers off the branches directly. We are going to use these scissors to cut off the branches with flowers, and then we can take the flowers off the branches when we go back."
The three little girls were very curious. Why did they have to wait until they got back to get it down
Feng Yifan also explained it to the children.
"Because if we take the flowers down now, it will be difficult for us to pack them, and they will be damaged on the way back. So we take the branches back with us, and then when we get back, we can find a suitable container to pack them, so we don't have to worry about damaging the flowers."
After listening to Mr. Feng’s explanation, the three little girls nodded to show that they understood.
The next period of time was the time for Feng Yifan and Yang Zhiyi to cut branches.
The two fathers made full use of their height advantage and chose some branches with many osmanthus flowers hanging on them, and cut the branches one by one.
It was only then that Feng Yifan realized, "This is full of golden osmanthus. There are so many flowers on one branch. It will be very nice to take back home."
While cutting, Yang Zhiyi said, "It smells really good."
Every time they cut a branch, the two fathers would first hand it to the little girls, who would then carefully put it into the bag that Li Feier had opened.
The little girls were really serious and every time they held a branch, their little hands were very careful.
Even the little girls didn't dare touch the flowers on the branches with their hands.
Under the careful care of the little girls, each branch was placed in the bag in Li Feier's hand.
In this way, Feng Yifan and his team cut a few branches from each tree and quickly collected a lot.
Seeing that the bags were almost full, and if there were any more, it might be inconvenient to take them back, Feng Yifan and Yang Zhiyi also stopped.
He led the little girls out of the osmanthus forest and said goodbye to Pan Yanggui, who was watching over the forest.
Pan Yanggui couldn't help but wish for Chef Feng's contact information.
Feng Yifan thought about it and decided not to be stingy, so he left his contact information to the other party.
The three little girls were very happy at this time and took the initiative to wave goodbye to Pan Yanggui.
"Goodbye, brother."
"Goodbye, brother."
"Goodbye, brother."
Seeing the little girls taking the initiative to say goodbye, Pan Yanggui also waved and said, "Okay, goodbye, you are welcome to come and play again when you are free."
After saying goodbye to Pan Yanggui, Feng Yifan and his friends led the children back to the camp.
After all, I picked a lot of osmanthus flowers, so I still have to go back and process them.
Back at the camp, the three little girls ran back quickly together.
Everyone held a small sprig in their hands.
After rushing back to the camp, the little girls gave them to their mothers and grandparents to smell.
"Hehehe, doesn't mom smell good?"
"Do grandpa and grandma smell good?"
"Grandpa Chen, Grandma Li, Aunt Su, don't they smell good?"
Su Ruoxi and the two old people were also a little surprised when they smelled the fragrance. They looked at the three little girls' hands and saw that they were holding a branch of osmanthus.
Chen Shoulin asked: "Where did you pick these osmanthus flowers from? Did you get their permission?"
Chen Yaofei answered her grandfather: "Father Feng took us to cut it down. We discussed it with them and got the consent from the brother next to the forest."
Feng Ruoruo shouted: "Yes, yes, brother agreed."
Hearing that the children had obtained other people's consent, Su Ruoxi and the two elders felt relieved.
Then Yang Xiaoxi said, "Aunt Su, Grandpa and Grandma, Father Feng said he would use this osmanthus to make snacks for us and also make osmanthus jam for us."
"Do grandpa and grandma smell good?"
"Grandpa Chen, Grandma Li, Aunt Su, don't they smell good?"
Su Ruoxi and the two old people were also a little surprised when they smelled the fragrance. They looked at the three little girls' hands and saw that they were holding a branch of osmanthus.
Chen Shoulin asked: "Where did you pick these osmanthus flowers from? Did you get their permission?"
Chen Yaofei answered her grandfather: "Father Feng took us to cut it down. We discussed it with them and got the consent from the brother next to the forest."
Feng Ruoruo shouted: "Yes, yes, brother agreed."
Hearing that the children had obtained other people's consent, Su Ruoxi and the two elders felt relieved.
Then Yang Xiaoxi said, "Aunt Su, Grandpa and Grandma, Father Feng said he would use this osmanthus to make snacks for us and also make osmanthus jam for us."
Feng Ruoruo shouted: "Yes, yes, brother agreed."
Hearing that the children had obtained other people's consent, Su Ruoxi and the two elders felt relieved.
Then Yang Xiaoxi said, "Aunt Su, Grandpa and Grandma, Father Feng said he would use this osmanthus to make snacks for us and also make osmanthus jam for us."
