On one day when the Buddleja officinalis flowers were in full bloom, she placed the earthenware basin soaking the glutinous rice on the balcony under the tree.

At night, a strong wind blew, and many branches and flowers of the Buddleja officinalis were blown down by the wind, and one branch of Buddleja officinalis flowers happened to fall into the earthenware basin.
