The first snow fell in late November.
After two months of preparation, Lu Qingjiu filled almost every corner of the house with food, and he didn't even forget to ask Zhu Miaomiao to send him a lot of his favorite jelly candy. Zhu Miaomiao originally planned to visit again during the Lantern Festival, but after hearing Lu Qingjiu say that Shuifu Village will be covered by heavy snow, he can only give up, saying that he will come to play again next year.
Snow fluttered, and overnight, Shuifu Village was covered in silver, the branches and ground were all white, and the whole world became a beautiful pure white.
Lu Qingjiu grew a pot of charcoal in the house, and moved Xiaohua, Xiaohei, and the little fox's nest into the house. The three little animals, dressed in clothes tailored by Lu Qingjiu, slumped into a pile beside the charcoal pile, lazily warm. own body. In summer, Xiaohua's belly is the coolest, but in winter, the most popular one is the little fox, especially its pink belly, which is warm in his arms. Yin Xun gave up his little flower and gave up on Xiaohua. The fox stretched out its clutches. The little fox was directly stuffed into his down jacket by Yin Xun, so when he went out to work, he would occasionally see a dazed fox head emerging from the collar of his clothes, and Yin Xun would reach out and press the little fox's head back. …
Seeing this scene, Xiaohua angrily scolded Yin Xun for being ruthless, indicating that in the summer of tomorrow, Yin Xun promised to take him with him all the time, but when it was cold, she actually betrayed her and threw herself into the arms of the little fox. Yin Xun was speechless, only To be this scumbag.
Lu Qingjiu was too lazy to care about their grievances and hatred, and let them go.
The weather is cold, so naturally, I want to eat something to warm my body. Lu Qingjiu started to make stews often, such as stewed chicken and duck, which are often served on the table. Among them, the most delicious is the scallion deaf meat brought back by Bai Yuehu. . The peeled scallion deaf looks no different from the sheep on the outside. If you insist, the meat of the scallion deaf is more plump and tender, and the soup stewed from the bones is rich and fragrant. When you go out in the morning, drink a big bowl. The body will warm up. Part of the meat was stewed with Lu Qing wine, and it was served with sesame bean curd and chive flowers. It was fragrant and tender in the mouth, without the fishy smell of mutton, which was very suitable for Lu Qing wine's appetite.
After the snow fell, the temperature began to drop, and Lu Qingjiu had to put on a thick down jacket.
Winter should be the worst season for Lu Qingjiu. There is no heating in Shuifu Village, so the way to keep warm is to put more charcoal basins in the house. However, it is not very safe to put too many charcoal basins, because poor ventilation may produce a large amount of carbon monoxide, which is a terrible thing. In order to prevent this from happening, Lu Qingjiu had to open the window a little, even if it was poured in from outside It is cold air, but it is also necessary to keep the air circulating in the room.
It was a very cold day, so Lu Qingjiu wrapped himself into a ball. His physique is cold, so it doesn't matter in summer, but in winter, he can't stand it. His hands and feet are almost cold from beginning to end, no matter how he rubs them. Not warm.
Because winter was about to begin, Bai Yuehu collected all the vegetables that should be harvested in the field, and dragged back more than 200 catties of sweet potatoes from the field. There was really no place to put them at home, so he simply piled them in the yard and placed them on top of them. A tarp was put on to block the snow.
Sweet potatoes are delicious with anything, steamed with rice, boiled to make a soft and glutinous sweet potato porridge, or, for a more nuisance, fried sweet potato pancakes with flour.
The method of sweet potato pie is similar to pumpkin pie, that is, knead the sweet potato and flour together, then press it into a cake shape and put it in a low-temperature frying pan. The sweet potato cakes fried in this way are crispy on the outside, soft and sweet on the inside, served with pickles and fermented bean curd, and you will not feel tired after eating several.
These sweet potatoes solve the food problem for the pigs and chickens in the pigsty in winter. Originally, Lu Qingjiu was a little worried that the chickens would be affected by the cold weather, but Bai Yuehu said don’t worry about the chickens, they are very strong. They didn't matter to them, so Lu Qingjiu was relieved.
Before the sky was completely cold, Lu Qingjiu 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, a thin layer of white snow is attached to the oranges and branches, which looks a bit poetic. Lu Qingjiu took the bamboo pole and knocked down the oranges and put them in the basket. These oranges are very sour, but they are very good for canned food. The canned food does not need to be used for soaking in water. When you want to eat, just scoop some of them with a spoon and eat them directly. It is a good snack in winter when there is a lack of vitamins.
Yin Xun tasted one, his sour face wrinkled together, Lu Qingjiu looked at him like this, reached out and grabbed it in his hand.
Yin Xun thought that Lu Qingjiu was going to eat too, waiting for the show, but who knew that Lu Qingjiu shoved the oranges into his pocket and smiled, "I'll bring it back to Bai Yuehu."
Yin Xun: "..." Lu Qingjiu, you are really bad.
The two packed the oranges and went down the mountain to go home. Compared with normal days, Shuifu Village was much quieter after winter, and no villagers were seen along the way. The village was quiet, as if everyone had disappeared overnight. Lu Qingjiu's nose was flushed red from the cold, he wanted to cover it with his hand, but his hand was also ice, so he had no choice but to give up.
When he finally got home, as soon as Lu Qingjiu entered the yard, he saw Bai Yuehu clearing the ice formed on the ground in the yard. Bai Yuehu lowered his head and carefully shoveled the ice off the stone little by little.
"Yuehu, Yuehu." Lu Qingjiu ran over, took out the oranges in his pocket and handed them to him, "The oranges we picked on the mountain, you can taste them."
Bai Yuehu glanced at Lu Qingjiu, took the orange, peeled it, divided it into two halves, and directly stuffed one half into his mouth as usual.
Lu Qingjiu and Yin Xun stood beside him and looked at him curiously, but saw Bai Yuehu's expression unmoved, and said, "What do you see me doing?"
"Is it delicious?" Lu Qingjiu asked him.
Bai Yuehu said, "It's okay."
"Is it sour?" Lu Qingjiu was now beginning to doubt Bai Yuehu's taste.
"It's okay." Bai Yuehu looked calm, "What's wrong?"
"It's fine." It seemed that Bai Yuehu wouldn't give him any feedback he imagined. Lu Qingjiu was a little disappointed and said, "Then go ahead and scan, I'll go back and deal with the oranges."
"Go." Bai Yuehu said.
Lu Qingjiu and Yin Xun turned around and entered the room, but they didn't notice that when the two left, Bai Yuehu released his hand gently. It broke into several pieces. Bai Yuehu glanced at the shovel, then glanced at the half of the oranges left in his hand, silently walked to the chicken pen, and threw the oranges into the chicken pen.
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 Bai Yuehu. He peeled the orange peels in the house, then boiled them in water with sugar, and put them in a glass jar after cooking. Just scoop it out with a spoon.
After making the oranges, the sky also got dark. In winter, there are only nine or ten hours of daylight in the winter. It is bright late in the morning and dark early in the evening.
Today's dinner is a soup pot made of scallion stewed soup. The pot is placed on a charcoal fire, and the steam is hot. 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 fighting chicken. The meat is tender and very plump. After making a marinade, it is salty, fragrant and tender, sucking the bones, and you can taste the unique deliciousness of chicken.
Lu Qingjiu shrank into a ball and ate the cabbage boiled in the bone broth. I have to say that the bone broth and the cabbage are a perfect match. The taste of the vegetables became fresh and sweet. After taking another sip of the soup, my whole body felt warm.
This dish is so happy in winter, not to mention Bai Yuehu, even Yin Xun has a few more bowls of rice than usual.
After eating, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening, and light snow began to fall 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 had to go home every day.
"If you don't go back to the shrine, the candles in the shrine will be extinguished," Yin Xun replied.
In this case, Lu Qingjiu did not force it.
After Yin Xun left, Bai Yuehu tidied up the table and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. When he finished and went back to the house again, he saw Lu Qingjiu leaning on the chair and dozing off.
The burning charcoal pot warmed the house, and the radiance radiated, a layer of red was plated on Lu Qingjiu's cheeks. The color of his lips was a little more gorgeous than usual, and the whole person looked very different. 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. Sake felt comfortable, and he indulged in the pleasant temperature.
He probably noticed that someone was walking beside him, Lu Qingjiu's eyelashes trembled, and then he opened his eyes, his black eyes were a little slack at first, but he gradually focused when he saw Bai Yuehu standing beside him. He muttered, his voice soft and sleepy: "I...Did I fall asleep..."
Bai Yuehu said: "Well."
"Ah... It's so comfortable." Lu Qingjiu shook his head, trying to wake himself up a bit, eating a hearty dinner, and the warm temperature in the room, he fell asleep before he knew it.
"Go to the bedroom and sleep." Bai Yuehu said, "Be careful of getting sick." Humans are very fragile animals, and a disease can take their lives.
"Well, good." Lu Qingjiu stood up, yawning in his mouth, he remembered something, and said, "By the way, I made a can of oranges for you this afternoon. I'll get you some to taste?"
Bai Yuehu's expression froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal, and said, "No need."
Lu Qingjiu: "Huh?" He was stunned for a moment, a little unresponsive, "I really don't want it?"
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: "Are you really full?"
Bai Yuehu: "Yeah." His tone was so determined, but Lu Qingjiu became suspicious. Bai Yuehu didn't eat much this night, and it was far from his usual level. Could it be that he secretly The added meal... no... seems to be, for another reason...
When Lu Qingjiu realized why Bai Yuehu rejected canned oranges, he finally couldn't help laughing: "Canned is not sour but sweet."
Bai Yuehu didn't speak, just looked at him like that.
Bai Yuehu's eyes made him feel a little guilty, and Lu Qingjiu coughed awkwardly: "Cough, I'm just joking with you.
Bai Yuehu looked unpredictable and said lightly, "It's funny."
Lu Qingjiu: "..." Brother, I'm sorry, he doesn't dare anymore.
In the end, Lu Qingjiu went to the kitchen and poured out a bowl of oranges for Bai Yuehu. The oranges were boiled with sugar water, and the sour taste in the oranges was fully diluted and perfectly combined with the sugar. The sweet and sour taste was very good. Dessert after dinner. After Bai Yuehu took a sip, he was sure that this was not the kind of orange that was sour in the afternoon, so he slowly ate the whole bowl.
After eating, Lu Qingjiu went back to his bedroom to rest.
It was so cold that taking a bath in a bathroom without a Yuba 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 blanket, but I didn't feel warm for a long time in the blanket, especially my feet, which were almost numb from the cold.
Lu Qingjiu added a few pieces of charcoal to his charcoal basin to make the fire a little more vigorous, but he felt that it was a drop in the bucket, and he was still cold.
Is the winter in Shuifu Village so cold in memory? Lu Qingjiu wrapped himself up on the bed and closed his eyes. However, in his mind, the memories of winter in Shuifu Village were only the hot stew made by his grandmother, and the moonlight that fell in the yard and illuminated the snow.
Lu Qingjiu didn't sleep well, he only slept for three or four hours, and the extinguished charcoal fire woke him up from his dream. He really couldn't sleep, so he put on his clothes and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, thinking that moving might make him feel better.
Bai Yuehu appeared behind Lu Qingjiu at some point, and when Lu Qingjiu saw it, he seemed to have been standing at the door for a long time.
"Can't sleep?" Bai Yuehu asked him.
"Yeah." Lu Qingjiu nodded.
"Have a nightmare?" Bai Yuehu asked again.
"No." Lu Qingjiu smiled, "It's too cold."
Hearing this, Bai Yuehu tilted his head slightly. He couldn't feel ordinary temperature changes, so he couldn't understand what it felt like when Lu Qingjiu woke up from the cold, but it wouldn't be a pleasant experience.
"I'd better clean the kang out." Lu Qingjiu was a little tired and yawned, "Otherwise, I really don't know how to pass this winter."
On the kang in his grandma's room, Lu Qingjiu kept the original appearance of his grandma's room.
It's only now that winter is coming, and he can't stand the cold. In December, he won't be using the kang anymore. He's really afraid that he will freeze to death.
Bai Yuehu said: "I'll come, which room?"
Lu Qingjiu wanted to refuse, but heard Bai Yuehu say, "It's going to be cold."
Hearing the word "cold water", Lu Qingjiu couldn't help shivering. Although there is a water heater at home, because the weather is too cold, the water temperature is difficult to rise, and the effect of using it is really mediocre. So now Lu Qingjiu is trying not to touch water if possible...
"Okay, then I'll trouble you." Lu Qingjiu didn't force it any further, "It's the room on the southeast corner."
Bai Yuehu nodded, went to get the towel and broom, and went to clean the room.
Lu Qingjiu made glutinous rice dumplings and egg dumplings in the kitchen. The dumplings and glutinous rice glutinous rice were made by themselves. Lu Qingjiu cooked a large pot, beat five poached eggs in it, and scooped two spoons of brown sugar. Yin Xunhe Bai Yuehu has two eggs for one person, and one is enough for him.
The snow outside was a bit heavy, and Yin Xun didn't bring an umbrella when he came over, and a thin layer of snow was piled on top of his head and shoulders. After he came in, he saw Bai Yuehu cleaning the house and said, "Why did you suddenly think about cleaning the room?"
Lu Qingjiu explained that he was too cold and wanted to use the heated kang. Yin Xun heard the words and said, "Are there enough carbon reserves? It is estimated that the mountain will be closed next month, so the carbon must not be less."
Lu Qingjiu said, "It doesn't seem to be enough, let's go to town and buy some."
Yin Xun said, "Yes."
Lu Qingjiu said, "Yuehu, come over for dinner."
A large pot of glutinous rice balls was divided among the three of them. The glutinous rice balls were made of glutinous rice. They were soft, glutinous and sweet. They were very filling. Lu Qingjiu ate a small bowl. He has no desire to go out at all, and can't wait to shrink by the stove every day. But if you want to burn the kang, the charcoal at home is definitely not enough, and you have to go to the town to buy some.
Probably because Lu Qingjiu's expression was too sad, Yin Xun rubbed his nose: "Otherwise I'll go, you'll be at home."
Lu Qingjiu said, "You can drive?"
"No." Yin Xun said, "But it doesn't matter if I don't, anyway, the minivan can drive itself... Just let it run on its own."
This makes some sense, but Lu Qingjiu was still a little uneasy. Just when he thought that he should go with Yin Xun, Bai Yuehu, who was next to him, opened his mouth and said, "Yin and I Let's 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 hummed.
Lu Qingjiu asked curiously, "When did you learn it? You don't have an ID card, do you?"
Bai Yuehu said, "Of course there is, otherwise I'll be a gangster." He said so calmly, for a while, Lu Qingjiu felt that it was the truth.
So in the end, Lu Qingjiu did not continue to struggle any more, he waved his hand and told Bai Yuehu and Yin Xun to go to town to buy carbon, but before leaving, Yin Xun stopped talking to Lu Qingjiu, and Lu Qingjiu thought he was afraid to talk to Bai Yuehu. Being alone, he was about to comfort him, but Yin Xun whispered, "That... wine, where is the... money that buys carbon?"
Lu Qingjiu: "..." I'm sorry, he has forgotten that he has the financial power in his family, and the mountain gods and fox spirits in his family 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 this card with his life, and even if he lost his life, he would return the card safely.
Lu Qingjiu: "...But aren't you already a dead person, where did your life come from?"
Yin Xun: "..." He was actually speechless.
Yin Xun and Bai Yuehu, who were holding the cards, got into the van, and Lu Qingjiu watched them disappear into the village. This was the first time that Yin Xun and Bai Yuehu had gone to town together. Watching Lu Qingjiu leave, they had the complicated feeling of being a mother sending her son away from home.
While I am happy that my son has finally grown up, I am worried about whether my son will encounter any difficulties that cannot be solved. Suddenly he remembered something, Lu Qingjiu quickly called Yin Xun and asked him to buy a mobile phone for Bai Yuehu and a mobile phone card while he was buying carbon. Let's do it together, and Bai Yuehu is still there, so he can choose his favorite phone.
Lu Qingjiu sent the two away, and returned to the room by himself. First, he added carbon to the charcoal pot, and then placed the cut sweet potato fries next to the charcoal pot, intending to slowly bake it.
Sweet potato fries become tough and chewy for a long time after drying, making them a good snack to pass the time. There are fewer things to do in winter. Most of the time everyone is at home watching TV and surfing the Internet. Lu Qingjiu sorted out the Taobao store by the way. This month's goods have been sent out, and we will take a break for at least two months. , and wait until spring to open.
As soon as the announcement in the store came out, there was a lot of mourning on the Internet. The effect of the hair growth lotion in the store "Xiaocun" was obvious to all. There were almost no negative comments, and many people even showed their comparison photos before hair growth. However, although the effect of hair tonic water is very good, but the output is too small, only 100 bottles per month, and the boss will not add more after robbing the boss. Who knew the boss wouldn't do it...
"Boss, I beg you, I'm still expecting to go back on a blind date with my hair growing during the Chinese New Year."
"Boss, sell some more, I'll rely on your family's hair growth water to live."
"Boss boss..."
Lu Qingjiu opened a few dialog boxes casually, and all he saw were comments like this. He was dumbfounded, but he didn't continue to open the store. After all, he couldn't even go out of the village next month, so what did he ship with
He simply shut down the chat software, Lu Qingjiu stopped watching.
Yin Xun and Bai Yuehu went to town, and Lu Qingjiu was too lazy to cook, so he took out instant noodles and made do with it. After he simply finished eating, he went to put a thick quilt on his grandma's bed and heated the kang.
After the kang was heated, Lu Qingjiu couldn't wait to lie down, feeling the warm temperature in the bed, he let out a long comfortable sigh.
The little fox cub also followed, and nestled beside his head. Lu Qingjiu touched its little head and said, "Come on, let's take a nap together, and they'll be back when they wake up."
The little fox licked Lu Qingjiu's fingers, and his body was twisted into a ball.
In the hot package, Lu Qingjiu fell into a deep sleep. He didn't rest well last night, and now he was almost touching his pillow until he vaguely heard Yin Xun's voice calling him: "Sake, sake, you Where are we? We're back."
Lu Qingjiu opened his eyes in a daze, and replied, "I'm here."
With a creaking sound, someone seemed to push the door open, and a pair of cold hands touched his forehead. Lu Qingjiu saw Bai Yuehu's face in a daze, and he said vaguely, "Yuehu... I'm so hot."
The author has something to say: Lu Qingjiu: It's so hot
Bai Yuehu: You seem to be familiar.
Lu Qingjiu: Huh
Bai Yuehu: Now that it's cooked, you can eat it.
Lu Qingjiu: Hmm…
I don't know what's going on, but when I wake up in the morning, I feel like my mouth is full of blood... Could it be that I sneaked out at night and bit someone? !
