Honeysuckle and streusel pie

The honeysuckle plant has a name formed from two abbreviated words - "life" and "youth."

An ancient Chinese legend tells about honeysuckle and the discovery of its healing properties. In ancient times, a young family lived in a small Chinese village. They had two twin girls. The daughters were named very poetically – Golden Flower and Silver Flower. Time passed, the girls grew up. They spent all their time together, never quarreled, they argued all their cases, and everything worked out. The sisters vowed never to be separated. A few more years have passed. The girls have grown up. And now they have already celebrated their seventeenth birthday, as one of the sisters suddenly fell ill – Golden Flower. The doctor who came to treat her just threw up his hands – the disease turned out to be severe and incurable. And the matter was aggravated by the fact that this disease was contagious. But the sisters were so close and attached to each other that the doctor's recommendations could not convince the second sister to stay away from the patient. Silver Flower did not leave her sister, took care of her and encouraged her, but the disease was really insidious – soon she also fell ill. A few days later, the twin sisters died, they were inseparable literally until their last breath. They buried them together, knowing about their oath and imbued with boundless loyalty. In the spring, when all nature revived and rejoiced in the warmth and sun, trees bloomed, and greenery ran riot, only a shrub grew on the grave of the sisters. But how it bloomed! There were no green leaves behind the delicate yellow and white flowers! People came to the cemetery, marveled and admired this picture, and decided that these flowers were the embodiment of two sisters - a Golden and a Silver Flower.

And here again in the same village in another family, two other little twin girls fell ill. The doctor's conclusion was once again hopeless. The disease returned, for which there was no cure, and which has already claimed two young lives. But, as you know, hope dies last. The parents of the sick babies went to the grave of the sisters, about which everyone talked so much. They called them for help, plucked flowers, both white and yellow. With a decoction of them, parents began to solder their daughters. And a miracle happened. The incurable disease receded, and the girls soon recovered completely. The villagers, having learned about the miraculous healing, named the miraculous plant in honor of the twin sisters – Golden-Silver Flower. And since then they have been using its medicinal properties for various diseases.
