MTL - Fantasy Farm-Chapter 48 First snow
The first snow fell at the end of November.
After preparing for two months, Lu Qingjiu filled almost every corner of the house with food. He didn't even forget to ask Zhu Miaomiao to send him a lot of his favorite jelly candy. Zhu Miaomiao originally planned to come again during the Lantern Festival, but when Lu Qingjiu said that Shuifu Village would cover the mountains with heavy snow, he had to give up and said he would come back next year.
The snow drifted and sprinkled, and overnight, Shuifu Village was covered in silver, the branches and the ground were all white, and the whole world turned into a beautiful pure white.
Lu Qingjiu gave birth to a pot of charcoal in the house, and moved the dens of Xiaohua Xiaohei and the little fox into the house. The three small animals in the clothes tailored by Lu Qingjiu collapsed into a pile beside the carbon pile, lazily warming. Holding his body. In summer, Xiaohua’s belly is the coolest, but in winter, the little fox is the most popular one, especially its pink and tender belly, which is warm in his arms. Yin Xun abandons his little flower and treats Xiaohua. The fox stretched out his clutches. The little fox was directly stuffed into his down jacket by Yin Xun, so when he went out to work, he occasionally saw a blank fox head emerging from the collar of his clothes, and Yin Xun would reach out and press the little fox's head back. ...
When Xiao Hua saw this scene, she scolded Yin Xun ruthlessly next to her, explaining that Yin Xun promised to take him with him in the next summer. When it was cold, she betrayed herself and threw herself into the arms of the little fox. Yin Xun was speechless. Can be this scumbag.
Lu Qingjiu didn't bother to care about their grievances, and let them go.
It’s cold, so I naturally want to eat something to warm the body. Lu Qingjiu started to make stews often, and stewed chicken and duck are often served on the table. The best thing is the deaf meat with green onions brought back by the white moon fox. . The peeled green onion looks no different from the sheep on the outside. If you insist, it is that the meat of the onion is more plump and tender, and the soup from the bones is rich and delicious. Drink a large bowl when you go out in the morning. The body will warm up. A part of the meat is stewed with Lu sake, and it is served with fermented bean curd with sesame sauce and chive flowers. It is fragrant and tender in the mouth without the fishy mutton, which is very suitable for Lu sake.
After it snowed, the temperature started to drop and Lu Qingjiu had to put on a thick down jacket.
Winter should be the most unsuitable season for Lu Sake. There is no heating system in Shuifu Village, so the way to keep warm is to put more charcoal pots in the house. However, it is not very safe to put too much charcoal basin, because poor ventilation may produce a lot of carbon monoxide, which is a terrible thing. In order to prevent this from happening, Lu Qingjiu had to open the window a little bit, even if it was poured in. It is cold, but the indoor air circulation must also be maintained.
It was so cold that Lu Qingjiu wrapped himself into a ball. His physique was rather cold. It didn't matter in summer, but he couldn't stand it in winter. His hands and feet were cold from beginning to end. It's not warm enough.
Because it was about to enter the winter, the white moon fox collected all the vegetables that should be harvested in the ground, and dragged back more than two hundred catties of sweet potatoes from the ground. There was really no place to put them at home, so they simply piled them in the yard and put them on top. A layer of tarpaulin blocked the snow.
Sweet potatoes are delicious in everything. They are steamed with rice and boiled into soft and waxy sweet potato porridge, or even more troublesome, they are made into deep-fried sweet potato cakes with flour, which are very flattering.
The method of sweet potato pie is similar to that of pumpkin pie, that is, knead the sweet potato and flour together, then press it into a pie, put it in a frying pan and deep-fry at low temperature. The fried sweet potato pancakes are crispy on the outside and soft and sweet on the inside. They are served with pickles and fermented bean curd, and you won’t feel greasy after eating a few.
These sweet potatoes have solved the food problem of pigs and chickens in the pigsty in winter. Originally, Lu Sake was worried that the weather would be too cold and the chickens would be affected, but Baiyue Fox said that they would not care about the chickens. They are very strong. This low temperature is right. They had no effect, and Lu Qingjiu was relieved.
Lu Qingjiu took advantage of the fact that the sky hadn't completely cooled down, and Yin Xun went up the mountain again and picked some wild oranges that hadn't fallen yet.
The leaves of these orange trees are gone, but the branches are covered with golden oranges. Because of the light snow last night, the oranges and branches are covered with a thin layer of white snow, which looks a bit poetic. Lu Qingjiu took the bamboo pole and beat the oranges down and put them in the back basket. These oranges are very sour, but they are great for canned food. The canned food does not need to be soaked in water. When you want to eat it, you can take a spoon and eat it directly. It is a good snack in winter when vitamins are lacking.
Yin Xun tasted one, and his sour faces were all wrinkled together. Lu Qingjiu looked at him like this and reached out and grabbed one in his hand.
Yin Xun thought that Lu Qingjiu was going to eat too, waiting for a good show, but who knew that Lu Qingjiu stuffed the oranges into his pocket, and smiled: "I'll bring Baiyue Fox home."
Yin Xun: "..." Lu Qingjiu, you are really a bad thing.
The two packed the oranges and went down the mountain to go home. Compared with normal days, Shuifu Village is much quieter after the winter. No villagers were seen along the way. The village was quiet, as if everyone had disappeared overnight. Lu Qing's nose was red from the cold. He wanted to cover it with his hands, but his hands were also cold, so he had no choice but to give up.
When he finally got home, Lu Qingjiu saw the white moon fox clearing the ice on the ground of the yard as soon as he entered the yard. The white moon fox lowered his head and seriously shoveled the ice from the stone.
"Yuehu, Yuehu." Lu Qingjiu ran over, took out the orange in his pocket and handed it to him, "The orange we picked on the mountain, please taste it."
Baiyue Fox took a look at Lu Qingjiu, took the orange, peeled it and split it into two halves, and stuffed half of it directly into his mouth as usual.
Lu Qingjiu and Yin Xun stood by and looked at him curiously, but saw that Bai Yuehu looked unmoved, and said, "What do you see me doing?"
"Is it delicious?" Lu Qingjiu asked him.
Baiyuehu said: "Do it."
"Aren't you sour?" Lu Qingjiu now began to doubt the taste of Baiyue Fox.
"It's okay." Baiyue Fox looked calm, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay." It seems that Bai Yuehu will not give him any imaginary feedback. Lu Qingjiu is a little disappointed and said, "Then you continue to sweep, I will go back and deal with the oranges."
"Go." Bai Yuehu said.
Lu Qingjiu and Yin Xun turned to enter the house, but did not notice that when they left, Bai Yuehu gently let go. The shovel that he was holding in his hand for handling ice fell from his hand, unexpectedly In this way, it broke into several pieces. Baiyue Fox glanced at the shovel, then at the half of the orange in his hand, and silently walked to the side of the chicken coop, and threw the orange into the chicken coop.
This is probably the first time the chickens have tasted the food shared by the white moon fox since they were born...
Lu Qingjiu didn’t know that his sour oranges had caused tons of damage to the white moon fox. He peeled the oranges in the house, then put them in water and boiled them with sugar. After cooking, they put them in a glass jar and eat them. Just use a spoon to dig it out.
After finishing the oranges, it was dark. There were only nine or ten hours in the daytime in the winter. The morning was bright and dark at night.
Today’s dinner is a soup pot made of stewed green onion and deaf soup. The pot is set on a charcoal fire, and it is steaming. Although there are not many kinds of vegetables, only cabbage and bean sprouts, but the meat is enough and there are various flavors. All have. Lu Qingjiu also marinated a chicken. This chicken is their family's fighting chicken. The meat is tender and very plump. After making the marinade, it is salty, fragrant and tender, sucking the bones, and you can taste the unique deliciousness of the chicken.
Lu Qingjiu shrank into a ball, eating the boiled cabbage from the bone soup. I have to say that the bone soup and cabbage are a perfect match, and the taste of the dishes becomes fresh and sweet. Another sip of the soup makes the whole body warm.
This dish is so happy in winter that Bai Yuehu needless to say, even Yin Xun planed a few more bowls of rice than usual.
After eating, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening, and light snow began to float outside. Lu Qingjiu asked Yin Xun if he wanted to make do with his house for the night. Yin Xun shook his head, saying that he must go home every day.
"If you don't go back, the candle in the altar will be extinguished." Yin Xun replied.
In this case, Lu Qingjiu did not force it.
After Yin Xun left, Bai Yuehu cleared the table and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. When he returned to the house again when he finished, he saw Lu Qingjiu dozing off on his chair.
The burning charcoal basin warmed the room and exudes light. Lu Qingjiu's cheeks were plated with a faint red color. The color of his lips was brighter than usual. The whole person looked very Warm, like the sun in winter.
Bai Yuehu didn't speak, and walked slowly to Lu Qingjiu's side. He lowered his head and his eyes fell on the corner of Lu Qingjiu's lips. There was a slight arc, as if telling Baiyuehu that Lu Qingjiu at this time Sake felt very comfortable, and he was drunk in the pleasant temperature.
Lu Qingjiu's eyelashes twitched, and he opened his eyes. At first he opened his eyes. His black eyes were a little loose at first, until he saw the white moon fox standing beside him, he gradually focused. He muttered, his voice soft and sleepy: "I... am I asleep..."
Bai Yuehu said: "Yeah."
"Ah... it's so comfortable." Lu Qingjiu shook his head, trying to make himself more sober, and eating a sumptuous dinner, coupled with the warm temperature in the room, he fell asleep without knowing it.
"Go to the bedroom and sleep." Baiyue Fox said, "Be careful of getting sick." Humans are very fragile animals, and a disease can take their lives.
"Well, good." Lu Qingjiu stood up, still yawning in his mouth. He thought of something, and said, "By the way, the oranges for you in the afternoon are made into cans. I will give you something to taste?"
The white moon fox's expression stagnated for a moment, but soon returned to normal, saying: "No need."
Lu Qingjiu: "Huh?" He was stunned for a moment, a little unresponsive, "Really not?"
Bai Yuehu said, "No, I'm full."
Lu Qingjiu: "..." He was stunned. He didn't expect to hear Bai Yuehu suddenly say that he was full under such circumstances.
Lu Qingjiu: "Really full?"
Bai Yuehu: "Yeah." His tone was so determined, but it made Lu Qingjiu suspicious. Bai Yuehu didn't eat much this evening. It was really far from his usual level. Could it be that he secretly Added a meal...no...it seems to be, for other reasons...
When Lu Qingjiu realized why Baiyue Fox rejected canned oranges, he finally couldn't help but laughed: "Canned food is not sour and sweet."
Bai Yuehu didn't speak, just looked at him like that.
Lu Qingjiu coughed awkwardly with Bai Yuehu's eyes, "Ahem, I just made a joke with you.
The white moon fox looked unpredictable and said lightly: "It's funny."
Lu Qingjiu: "..." Brother, I'm sorry, he doesn't dare anymore.
Finally, Lu Qingjiu went to the kitchen to pour a bowl of oranges for Baiyue Fox. The oranges were boiled in sugar water, the sourness inside was fully diluted, and the sugar was perfectly combined. The sweetness and sourness is very good. Dessert after meal. After taking a bite, Baiyue Fox determined that this was not the sour tangerine that afternoon, and then slowly ate a whole bowl.
After eating, Lu Qingjiu returned to his bedroom to rest.
It was too cold, and taking a bath in a bathroom without a bath master became torture. Lu Qingjiu was sweating when picking oranges today. Although he was afraid of the cold, he gritted his teeth and took a shower. After washing, he quickly put on his clothes. I rushed into the bed, but I haven't been warmed up in the bed for a long time, especially the feet are almost numb from the cold.
Lu Qingjiu added a few pieces of charcoal to his charcoal basin to make the fire a little more prosperous, but he felt that this was really a drop in the bucket, and he was still cold.
Is the winter in Shuifu Village so cold in my memory? Lu Qingjiu was wrapped in a ball on the bed and closed his eyes. However, in his mind, the memory of the winter in Shuifu Village is only the warm stew made by his grandmother, and the moonlight that falls in the yard and illuminates the snow.
Lu Qingjiu didn't sleep well, he only slept for about three or four hours, and the extinguished charcoal fire woke him up from his dream. He really couldn't sleep, so he got dressed and went to the kitchen, ready to make breakfast, thinking that it might be easier to move.
Bai Yuehu didn't know when he appeared behind Lu Qingjiu. When Lu Qingjiu saw it, he seemed to have been standing at the door for a long time.
"Can't you sleep?" Bai Yuehu asked him.
"Yeah." Lu Qingjiu nodded.
"Have a nightmare?" Bai Yuehu asked again.
"No." Lu Qingjiu smiled, "it's too cold."
Bai Yuehu tilted his head slightly when he heard the words. He couldn't feel the ordinary temperature changes, so he couldn't understand how Lu Qingjiu was waking up from the cold, but it wouldn't be a pleasant experience if I thought about it.
"I'd better clean the kang out." Lu Qingjiu was a little tired and yawned, "Otherwise, I really don't know how to spend this winter."
When Kang was in his grandma's room, Lu Qingjiu kept the original appearance of his grandma's room, which was considered a concern.
It's only now that it's winter, and he can't stand the cold. When he waits until December, he won't use the kang anymore. He is really afraid that he will freeze to death.
Bai Yuehu said: "Let me come, which room?"
Lu Qingjiu wanted to decline, but he heard Bai Yuehu say, "I want to touch cold water."
Hearing the word cold water, Lu Qingjiu couldn't help but shudder. Although there is a water heater at home, it is very cold and the water temperature is hard to get up. The effect is really mediocre. So now Lu Qingjiu can avoid water as much as possible...
"Well, I will trouble you." Lu Qingjiu didn't force it anymore, "It's the room at the southeast corner."
Bai Yuehu nodded, took the towel and broom, and went to clean the room.
Lu Qingjiu made a glutinous rice dumpling with glutinous rice in the kitchen. The glutinous rice **** and glutinous rice dumplings were all made at home. Lu Qingjiu cooked a big pot and beaten five poached eggs in it and scooped two spoons of brown sugar. Yin Xunhe The white moon fox has two eggs per person, and he eats one.
The snow outside was a bit heavy, and Yin Xun didn't open his umbrella when he came over. There was a thin layer of snow on his head and shoulders. After he came in, he saw the white moon fox cleaning the house and said, "Why do you suddenly want to clean the room?"
Lu Qingjiu explained that he was too cold and wanted to use hot kang. Yin Xun heard the words: "Is there enough carbon? It is estimated that the mountain will be closed next month, and the carbon cannot be less."
Lu Qingjiu said: "It doesn't seem to be enough, let's go to town to buy some."
Yin Xun said, "Okay."
Lu Qingjiu said: "Yuehu, come over for dinner."
A large pot of glutinous rice **** was divided among the three to eat. The glutinous rice **** were made of glutinous rice. They were soft and sweet. They were very full. Lu Qingjiu was almost full after eating a small bowl. He looked at the weather outside but was a little worried. He didn't have any **** at all, and he couldn't wait to shrink by the stove every day. But if you want to burn Kang, the charcoal at home is definitely not enough, you have to go to town to buy some.
Perhaps Lu Qingjiu's expression was too sad, and Yin Xun rubbed his nose: "Otherwise, I'll go, you'll be well at home."
Lu Qingjiu said: "Can you drive?"
"No." Yin Xun said, "but it doesn't matter if I don't, anyway, the small truck can drive automatically...just let it run by itself."
This is a bit reasonable, but Lu Qingjiu is still a little uneasy. Just when he thought he would go with Yin Xun, the white moon fox next to him spoke up and said, "I and Yin. Seek and go together." He probably knew what Lu Qingjiu was worried about, and added, "I have a driver's license."
Lu Qingjiu was shocked: "Really? Do you still have a driver's license?"
Bai Yuehu said.
Lu Qingjiu curiously asked, "When did you learn it? You don't have an ID card, do you?"
Bai Yuehu said: "Of course there is, otherwise I will be a black household." He said so calmly, and for a while, Lu Qingjiu felt that it seemed to make sense.
So in the end Lu Qingjiu did not continue to struggle, and with a big wave of his hand, Bai Yuehu and Yin Xun went to the town to buy carbon, but before leaving Yin Xun hesitated to talk about Lu Qingjiu, Lu Qingjiu thought he was afraid of and Bai Yuehu Being alone, I was trying to comfort me, but listened to Yin Xun's whisper: "That... wine, carbon... money?"
Lu Qingjiu: "..." I'm sorry, he has forgotten that he is in control of the financial power of his family, and his mountain **** and fox are poor and can't even afford Xiaolongbao...
Lu Qingjiu took out his card, put it in Yin Xun's hand, and told him the password by the way.
Yin Xun held the card tightly in his hand and told Lu Qingjiu that he would protect the card with his life, and even if he lost his life, he would send it back safely.
Lu Qingjiu: "...But aren't you already a dead person? Where did your life come from?"
Yin Xun: "..." He was speechless.
Yin Xun and Bai Yuehu, who were holding the cards, got into the pickup truck, and Lu Qingjiu watched them disappear across the village. This is the first time Yin Xun and Bai Yuehu go to town together. Seeing Lu Qingjiu they leave, they have a complex feeling of sending their son away from home.
While I am happy that my son has finally grown up, I am also worried about whether my son will encounter any difficulties that cannot be solved. Suddenly remembering something again, Lu Qingjiu quickly called Yin Xun and asked him to buy a mobile phone and a mobile phone card for Baiyuehu when he was buying carbon. I had forgotten about this before, so I just did it this time. Let's do it together, and Bai Yuehu is still there, so I can choose my favorite mobile phone.
Lu Qingjiu sent the two away and went back to the house by himself. First he added charcoal to the charcoal basin, and then put the cut sweet fries beside the charcoal basin, intending to roast it slowly.
The sweet potato fries will become full of toughness after being roasted and can be chewed for a long time in the mouth. It is a good snack to pass the time. There are fewer things you can do in winter. Most of the time, everyone is watching TV and surfing the Internet at home. Lu Qingjiu organized the Taobao store by the way. The goods for this month have already been sent out. Next, I have to rest for at least two months. , And will open again in spring.
As soon as the announcement in the shop came out, there was a scream on the Internet. The effect of the hair growth lotion in the "Little Village" shop was obvious to all, and there were hardly any negative reviews. Many people even showed their comparison photos before they grew. However, although the effect of the hair growth lotion is very good, but the output is too small, 100 bottles per month, and the boss will not add the goods after looting. Everyone is trying to grab the hair growth lotion next month, but Who knows that the boss didn't do it...
"Boss, please, I'm still looking forward to going back for a blind date with my hair growing during the Chinese New Year."
"Boss, you can sell something more, I'm counting on your family to grow hair water and live."
"Boss, boss..."
Lu Qingjiu clicked and opened a few dialog boxes. All he saw were comments like this. He was a little bit dumbfounded, but he still did not continue to open the shop. After all, he couldn't even go out of the village next month. What would he take to deliver goods?
After turning off the chat software cruelly, Lu Qingjiu stopped reading.
Yin Xun and Bai Yuehu went to town, and Lu Qingjiu was too lazy to cook, so he took out instant noodles to make do. After a simple meal, he went to put a thick bedding on his grandma's bed and heated the kang.
After the kang heated up, Lu Qingjiu couldn't wait to lie down, feeling the warm temperature in the bed, and he let out a long, comfortable sigh.
The little fox cub also followed, and he nestled beside his head. Lu Qingjiu touched its little head and said, "Come on, take a nap together, and they will come back when they wake up."
The little fox licked Lu Sake's fingers, his body curled up.
In the steamy package, Lu Qingjiu fell into a deep sleep. He did not rest well last night. He was almost on his pillow now, until he heard Yin Xun's voice calling him: "Sake, sake you Where is it? We are back."
Lu Qingjiu opened his eyes in a daze, and said, "I am here."
With a squeak, it seemed that someone pushed the door in. A pair of cold hands touched his forehead. Lu Qingjiu saw Bai Yuehu's face in a daze. He vaguely said: "Yuehu...I'm so hot."
