[Prose] The fragrance of Sophora japonica in late spring

Author: Aqiao

In late spring, the flowers will run out, and the flowers that have been gorgeous for a spring have come to an end. On the contrary, the branches are covered with green fruits. Only Sophora japonica chose to open at this time, with white flowers and green leaves, which formed a sharp contrast and was particularly dazzling.

My family lives on the sixth floor, and there are two towering trees not far behind the building, one is elm and the other is Sophora japonica. The two trees are as high as five stories, living next to each other and helping each other. Every spring, they start the relay race in full swing, and the money is spent. This spring, due to the spread of the epidemic, the start of school became far away, and I became a veritable housewife living in Izek. Every day when I go to the kitchen to cook, I can't help looking out of the window, looking for the vitality of spring. Over time, those two tall trees turned out to be the most beautiful scenery in my "lens".

In the morning, the wind blows the curtains in the window, and the birds outside the window sing as if urging me to get up. I rubbed my sleepy eyes, washed my face and went into the kitchen. When I looked up, I saw the tall elm tree downstairs. The leaves of the elm tree are lush and shining in the sun, and the birds on the tree jump happily, adding dynamic music to the elm tree. The elm tree bloomed in early spring, and now it is white. As soon as the wind blew, several elms fell down one after another. Whose duckling pecks elm seeds happily under the tree? Looking to the side, the locust tree looks particularly tall. There is a big bird's nest on the tall branch. Spring is the season for birds to breed. A magpie is flying around, busy. Maybe it is feeding its chicks. Wow, if you look closely, I don't know when the locust tree has blossomed. Clusters of white flowers are hanging on the branches at will, one here and one there, layered on top of each other, as beautiful as jade, which makes people feel elated. The roots of Sophora japonica are hidden in small green leaves, and some spread their calyx heartily; Some are like shy little girls; Some are like pure white jade butterflies. When the spring breeze blows, the flower branches tremble like flying flowers and broken jade, which is simple and elegant and beautiful.

I was so surprised that I couldn't help shouting: "Mingming, come and see, the Sophora japonica is in bloom!" " "My daughter was taking an online class and ran out with her mobile phone. She was surprised and asked, "Mom, where is Sophora japonica? "I put my hand out of the window and followed my fingers. The daughter looked down and it was a blooming Sophora japonica. " Oh, this tree is a locust tree! "My daughter was born in the city since she was a child, and her hands were not stained with mud. She can't tell wheat seedlings from leeks. She only knows that I like Sophora japonica. She doesn't know what Sophora japonica looks like. It's not surprising to see it.

My daughter also made a joke because she bought Sophora japonica. Some time ago, she went downstairs and saw someone selling catkins, so she bought two catties. As soon as she entered the door, she happily said to me, "Mom, mom, look, I bought your favorite Sophora japonica." Let's steam it. " It feels strange that there are no Sophora japonica in early spring, and the Sophora japonica has not yet opened. She waited expectantly for me to praise her for being sensible. As a result, when I opened the bag, I couldn't help laughing and saying to her, "My silly child, this is not Sophora japonica, this is catkin!" "

"Oh, I thought it was Sophora japonica!" She felt embarrassed and wanted to do something to make me happy. As a result, she made a mistake, which was too outrageous.

"Sophora japonica is sweet and steamed; Catkin tastes bitter, and cold salad is better. Besides, their colors are white and green, and the difference is not a little! " I laughed and joked.

The daughter said shyly, "Mom, it seems that life is full of knowledge. I will learn more from my mother in the future! " "

My daughter's words plunged me into memories of the past and reminded me of the old pagoda tree in my hometown. My love for Sophora japonica has a long history, because there is also a tall Sophora japonica in my hometown. In 2000, my parents moved to my second brother's building, and my old yard was slowly abandoned. When my parents were alive, the old house was always reluctant to tear down. The old yard is always idle and few people care. Only when the Sophora japonica blooms will my mother go to the old yard to pick Sophora japonica. Today, the old house is still there, the locust tree is still there, the parents are gone, the locust flower blooms as scheduled, but no one picks it.

Sophora japonica is a common deciduous tree in my hometown. My mother calls it Robinia pseudoacacia, which is just right. It is said that this locust tree was first born in North America, and it also came from across the ocean. Strong adaptability, fast growth, deeply loved by farmers. In the 1960s, my mother planted this kind of acacia in the yard for me to eat in late spring. Secondly, Sophora japonica is strong and can be used as furniture in the future. This acacia tree has a history of more than 60 years. Its gray-black bark is like its shell, as rough as an old man's hand. As long as I can remember, it stood on the south wall of my old yard. It blooms once a year, and I am one year older.

"In front of the house at dusk, the Sophora japonica flowers are one inch deep." In spring, acacia trees begin to grow under the sunshine and rain in spring, with green leaves covering the branches, and its buds begin to swell, blooming, dressed in elegant costumes, delicate and elegant, and the fragrance floats far away. The whole village is full of the fragrance of Sophora japonica. At this time, the yard has also become a world of bees. They tirelessly fly around among the Sophora japonica flowers, stopping and collecting nectar. This is how the sweetness of Sophora japonica comes from. I like to smell the fragrance of Sophora japonica, and I like to watch it bloom like brocade. My heart is full of joy and sweetness.

Sophora japonica not only blooms beautifully, but also is very useful to people. Sophora japonica is a cool Chinese herbal medicine, and it is also delicious on people's tongue tip. People use it to make fried Sophora japonica cake, Sophora japonica cake, Sophora japonica honey and Sophora japonica steamed bread ... delicious and meaningful, which makes people never tire of eating.

In mother's eyes, Sophora japonica is a delicious food. In late spring, my mother is busy playing cotton nutrition bowls in the field so that cotton seedlings can be planted in the wheat ridge before harvesting wheat. In the morning, she came home from work in the scorching sun. My mother asked us to pick Sophora japonica with a shovel. Sophora japonica is very tall, its bark is rough and its branches are covered with thorns. If you are not careful, you will be stabbed by it, so children rarely climb. In order to eat Sophora japonica, we thought of a good way to pick Sophora japonica. We tied the shovel to a wooden stick, which seems to be the arm of a giant, so that our children can easily reach the Sophora japonica on the tree. Every time I shovel off a branch, I run to pick the Sophora japonica. White Sophora japonica, mixed with a little green leaves, is crystal clear. When I hold it up and put it on the tip of my nose, my heart suddenly overflows with fragrance, and I can't help sighing that there are such sweet flowers in the world. Mom likes to make steamed Sophora japonica. In order to satisfy her appetite, she always steams a large pot for us. When it is ripe, she puts it in a big pot, drops some sesame oil and mixes it with the mashed garlic cloves. Everyone brought a big bowl and began to sit there and eat. It is no exaggeration to say that it is delicious on earth.

Sophora japonica is seasonal. It blooms once a year, and the flowering period is very short, and it will decline in about ten days. Some people with a heart will put away the picked Sophora japonica and dry it in the sun, and then they can eat delicious Sophora japonica buns all year round. Once, I passed a restaurant. In order to attract business, they set up takeout outside the door. Sophora japonica steamed buns are three yuan each. I bought four home without hesitation. Although my wife is a little expensive, she didn't say anything.

This year, when I saw Sophora japonica blooming, I quickly went to the market to find Sophora japonica. I can't find anyone selling Sophora japonica flowers all the way. When I was disappointed, I suddenly saw an old lady in her seventies squatting on the side of the road with a pot of Sophora japonica. I quickly went over and asked her, "Aunt, how much does Sophora japonica cost per catty?" My aunt looked at me and wanted to buy it. She said, "Eight yuan a catty, fifteen yuan a catty." Thinking it was not easy to pick Sophora japonica, I bought two catties and went back without bargaining.

As soon as she got home, her daughter asked in surprise, "Mom, what are you cooking today? How can I buy so many things back? " I told her, "I'm making Sophora Buns today." The daughter said excitedly, "Yes, I also want to try the steamed stuffed bun made by my mother!" " "I cleaned the Sophora japonica one by one, and suddenly a scent of Sophora japonica overflowed the room and mixed well with the meat. The scent of Sophora japonica mixed with the smell of meat makes people drool. Busy for a while, the steamed stuffed bun was out of the pot, and my daughter couldn't wait to pick it up and take a bite. She repeatedly said, "Sophora japonica steamed buns are really delicious! Delicious! "

Sophora japonica in late spring is the most beautiful scenery in the countryside, with a strong aroma and sweetness to farmers' hearts. When I was a child, when Sophora japonica bloomed, it was the time when the flowers were green and yellow. At that time, I ate Sophora japonica mainly to fill my stomach. It is a yearning to eat Sophora japonica today and miss that unforgettable bitter day. I have been eating Sophora japonica for generations, and I have a hard-to-give-up complex about Sophora japonica. Sophora japonica fragrance, grandma likes it, mom likes it, I like it, and so does my daughter. From generation to generation, I cherish today's happy life more.

"Sophora japonica blooms in May, like snow and butterflies." Every spring, I look forward to the early flowering of Sophora japonica, but Sophora japonica always waits until most other flowers wither. It is independent, noble and elegant, with a fresh, simple and extraordinary temperament, which makes people relaxed and happy.

Flowers bloom and fall, and Sophora japonica blooms. In this late spring season, the fragrance of Sophora japonica brings me different surprises and reminds me of the long aftertaste of the past. ...
