In her past life, Jiang Si had eaten plenty of raw wintersweet flowers, so she knew Shen Baoying's wintersweet cakes would be delicious.
Jiang Si nodded. "I'll help you pick some."
"Okay. Pick the buds that are just barely starting to open. Their petals are especially tender and fragrant."
When Niu Niu heard that, she quickly said, "I'll help pick them too, Jiang Si! Let me help!"
Jiang Si smiled. "Okay, I'll get you a small basket."
They collected nearly half a small basket of wintersweet flowers from the two trees.
Shen Baoying already had warm water ready. She took the wintersweet flowers, removed their stems and centers, and rinsed them in the water. After draining them, she stirred them into the prepared batter of egg and flour.
Inside the ice house, there was only a charcoal fire. To pan-fry the cakes, Shen Baoying had to control the heat carefully.
