每到艾叶长得最茂盛的时候，便是我最期待的时候。记得有一年，我还在上小学，外婆挎着篮子，神神秘秘地出去了。回来的时候，篮子里装满了碧绿的“青草”，经过我身旁的时候，我闻到了一种很独特的带着幽微的苦涩香味。接着，她自己在厨房忙碌了大半天。“吱呀”一声门开了，她端着一盘不知道是什么的东西向我走来，浓郁的香味扑鼻而来，我的口水不自觉流下来。我一边尝着外婆做的艾叶粑粑，一边看着盘里那绿油油的艾叶粑粑，在光的照耀下好像在发光。我大口大口地嚼着，一边吃一边含糊地说：“好吃好吃！”外婆只是静静地看着我，满脸的微笑，什么也不干，仿佛我就是她最爱的“粑粑”。许多年后，我才明白了，当时她眼神里充满的是无限的宠溺和幸福。
Each years later, arrived Ai Xie waves sweet season, I am expecting to be able to taste savor grandmother to make the cake of delicate Ai Xie that come mysteriously again.
之后的每一年，到了艾叶飘香的时节，我就期待着能再次品尝到外婆神神秘秘做出来的美味艾叶粑粑。

有一年，我非要看着外婆做艾叶粑粑，外婆也答应了我。我看着外婆把摘回来的大把的艾叶一支一支的放在眼前瞅，把夹在里面的干草、杂草择干净。再放在流水底下冲洗四五遍，一边冲一边揉搓。然后烧开一锅水，将清洗洁净的艾叶放进去，拿锅铲不停地搅拌，捞出来，放在沥水篮里，又放到清澈的冷水里。外婆告诉我，这是为了祛除涩味，并保留艾叶绿油油的原色。捞出来，用力挤干水分，又放到清水中漂洗，挤压，反复四次。这样后，外婆认为已经将野草里残留的涩味、苦味清理得差不多了。艾叶放到了砧板上，一顿剁切之后，艾草已经变成了好小好小的颗粒。再下面粉，搅拌，加水，搅拌均匀。然后，外婆用她那灵巧的手奋力揉捏着面团，她说这样可以让做出来的艾叶粑粑口感更加Q弹。揉了十多分钟，做艾粑粑的料就算和好了。
See grandmother movement holds a dough of one small Tuo deftly with finger tip only, put in the palm, reoccupy finger tip is turning ceaselessly the circle is held forcibly, the cake of moxa leaf roundlet with one dish even, proper size was in with respect to trimly platoon in dish.

Grandmother come back, see I am busy the helter-skelter kind that incessantly ground is saying, laugh at bring about the desired sensation to want fork.
只见外婆动作麻利地用指尖捏起一小坨面团，放到手掌里，再用指尖不断转着圈用力捏，一盘子大小均匀、合适的艾叶小圆饼就整齐地排在了盘子里。我看着似乎有点怪怪的，颜色偏淡，是灰绿灰绿的；也没有闻到那么浓郁的香味。我实在抵挡不住馋虫的进攻，趁着外婆转身去拿什么东西的时绿色Www.0279.NeT候，我不管三七二十一拿起就往嘴里送，结果满嘴面粉味，嫌弃的都吐了出来。外婆回来，见到我忙不迭地吐着的狼狈样，笑得气都要岔了。
So these roundlet cake still are a face cake embryo only child! Grandmother looks at me this small greedy cat, the eye laughs at narrow one's eyes. Burn boiler rapidly, put oil, put down each roundlet cake, 10 come after the second flange again decoct, shiny green cake of appetizing moxa leaf cake has pot. My clip removes, nibble, hum!

原来这些小圆饼还只是个面饼胚子！外婆看着我这个小馋猫，眼睛都笑眯了。赶紧烧锅，放油，放下一个个小圆饼，十来秒之后翻边再煎，绿油油香喷喷的艾叶粑粑就起锅了。我夹起一个，轻咬，嗯！熟悉的味道！
As the accentuation that learns the job, the time that I go to grandmother home is less and less, but always won't forget every year to eat Ai Xie cake together with her, that is her distinctive craft. Taking small pain and sweet moxa leaf cake, engrave in my the bottom of one's heart with respect to such bake in a pan.
随着学习任务的加重，我去外婆家的次数越来越少了，但每年总不会忘记和她一起吃艾叶粑粑，那是她独特的手艺。带着微苦而香的艾叶粑粑，就这样烙刻在了我的心坎里。
Suddenly one day, the family member received an extremely big sad news of the death, she visited grandmother! Listen to an old person to say, the meeting after the person is dead becomes ethereal star, so I become her only all the time is the star that likes the sky too, of too impatient to wait fly to the sky, with their keep sb company just.
忽然有一天，家里人收到了一个天大的噩耗，外婆她走了！听老人说，人死后会变成天上的星星，所以我一直只当她是太喜欢天上的星星了，迫不及待的飞到天上，和它们做伴了而已。
Later annual, I want try every means to eat cake of a moxa leaf, but always search to be not worn the taste that that I want. My not reconciled to, tasted kin neighbour almost people the Ai Xie cake that make, but I do not feel always however delicious.

Pa Mom says my mouth is sly, not be them actually those who do is not delicious, the sort of distinctive taste that wants without me however, perhaps say, little the sort of bestows favor on be addicted to eyes that belongs to grandmother alone.
之后的每年，我都要想方设法吃上一个艾叶粑粑，但总找不着那个我想要的味道。我不甘心，几乎尝遍了亲戚邻居们做的艾叶粑粑，可是我却总觉得不好吃。每次闻到艾香，就会想起外婆在做完艾叶粑粑之后的几天里，身上总还是洋溢着一股淡淡的艾叶的清香。爸妈说我嘴刁，其实不是他们做的不好吃，而是没有我想要的那种独特的味道，或者说，少了那种独属于外婆的宠溺的眼神。
Suddenly one day, the grandma is very mysterious pull me the kitchen, end gave one Pan Aixie cake, hold me in both hands below eyelid, eyeful expects look at me. I had been been indifferent to actually, because, I feel, the sort of unique flavor that belongs to grandmother also is not searched again.

The grandma looks at curtain of night, say to me: The star of “ sky is the place to go of the soul after the person is dead, the family member is accompanying us with another kind of means, actually they never leave. I am like ” to be thought of somewhat staring at that brightest, take moxa leaf cake, bit, ai Xiang spreads in the mouth immediately, lose long already flavour to search again then it seems that, probably yes, because the hope is,be in all the time.
忽然有一天，奶奶很神秘的将我拉到厨房，端出了一盘艾叶粑粑，捧到我眼皮底下，满眼期待的看着我。我其实已经无所谓了，因为，我觉得，那种属于外婆的独特的味道再也寻不到了。奶奶见我半天没动，又拉着我来到了外面，在这个没有满月的夏夜里，星星布满整个天空，其中有一颗特别特别亮，就像挂在天幕的灯盏，像拼命吸引我注意的目光，不时闪烁一下，不断地招引着我。奶奶看着夜幕，对我说：“天上的星星就是人死后灵魂的去处，亲人以另一种方式陪伴着我们，其实他们从未离开。”我若有所思的盯着那最亮的一颗，拿起艾叶粑粑，咬了一口，艾香顿时在口中蔓延，似乎那丢失已久的味道又找回来了，或许是的，因为希望是一直在的。
Go on vernal road, a faint scent swarms into nasal cavity, oh, it is that distinctive the fragrance of exquisite Ai Xie, what I also cannot forget forever is acerbity the flavour …… of acerbity bitter chrysanthemum
走在春天的路上，一股清香涌入鼻腔，哦，是那独特又细腻的艾叶的香味，我永远也忘不了的涩涩的苦菊的味……
