Sakura-chan

Overview

The spring day in April is full of colorful flowers, with peach blossoms, apricot blossoms, and cherry blossoms vying to bloom. Especially the row of eight-fold cherry blossoms along the roadside is even more eye-catching. Under the warm sunshine, there are large patches of eight-fold red branches hanging down, like pink clouds. Bai Juyi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, planted a new red cherry tree in his small garden and took a leisurely stroll around the branches, describing the joy and leisurely mood of enjoying the flowers. However, the blooming period of cherry blossoms is short, known as the Seven Days of Cherry Blossoms, that is, there are only 7 days from when the cherry blossoms bloom to wither. I picked some cherry blossoms🌸 and made cherry blossom jam, which can be used to make cherry blossom cakes, bread, glutinous rice dumpling fillings, etc. It also preserves the beauty of the cherry blossoms🌸🐥🍨
