Chapter 221 It’s not cold this winter

Winter has come, and the purchase of tea fruits has come to an end.

Originally, there were still people coming here to sell mountain products sporadically, but maybe the village owners of each village said that they would build a market in spring, so everyone stopped coming.

First, it was cold and it was quite hard to climb several mountains.

Second, there will be a market soon. You can stock up a bit and sell it at the market, or you can keep what you can’t stock up at home for your children to eat. This year, everyone is selling tea, fruits and mountain products, and they also have some savings, so they are willing to keep them for their children.

People from other villages stopped coming, so Su Qingyu began to live in winter.

Four fire pits were built at home, and four were built in the sleeping room, one for her and Xiaobao, one for Lu's mother and daughter, and one for Siyuan Siyuan.

The other one is built in the small flower hall, which is usually used for entertaining guests. You can sit on the kang, drink tea and chat, and the women can also make needlework together on the kang.

Two fire tables were also made, one in the flower hall and one in the dining hall.

Nowadays, Mr. Lu rarely goes to the kitchen to cook. In the dining hall, take away the iron railing on the fire table, put the iron pot on it, and while cooking, there is a steady stream of heat emanating from the fire tube under the table. No matter how long you stand, everyone will be warm.

Even Ruyi and Siyuan Siyuan love to go to the dining hall.

It's getting cold, so I don't go out much, so I help choose some dishes in the dining hall and help together. It's warm and there are people to talk to.

The two puppies also love to run to the dining hall, where they can stay warm and have food. Xiaobao runs wherever the puppy goes.

I take my two dogs with me everywhere I go. It’s quick to call each other brothers.

In autumn, Su Qingyu harvested a lot of nuts, millet and other nuts, and Ruyi and Lushi roasted them for Xiaobao to eat.

The food tasted good to him and he loved it, so he often went to the dining hall and asked Lu and Ruyi to bake it for him.

Not only did he eat it himself, he also fed it to the two puppies. Meat is also fed to puppies. If Su Qingyu hadn't taught him a lesson, he would still want to hold two puppies to sleep together every night.

The house is warm every day. There is no shortage of firewood.

Before winter, Siyuan Siyuan brought a lot of firewood to the house. Many villagers thanked Su Qingyu for collecting tea fruits and mountain goods, which gave them savings. Many people also sent firewood to Su's house.

Su Qingnao used the money to buy a lot of firewood. The woodshed and backyard at home are full of firewood, which can’t be burned all winter long.

Su Qingnao was willing to burn firewood, and her home was warm all day long. There was nothing to do in the village in winter, so everyone made an appointment to go to Su Qingnao's house to chat with Lu and Su Qingnao and do needlework together.

Ruyi also made many friends in the village. Xiu'er is one of them.

Xiu'er came to Su Qingnao almost every day, either to chat with Xiu'er or to learn how to read from Su Qingnao.

The leader of Zhongzhai also came running. He only had his granddaughter by his side, and since her granddaughter was not at home, it was boring for him to be at home alone, and it was deserted. He also likes to run towards Su Qingyu.

He also made excuses for himself, saying that he wanted to discuss with Su Qingyao about the planting and establishment of collections in the village after the spring.

He also said that his grandfather and grandson also burned firewood for the same stove at home, and so many people also burned firewood for the same stove here, so why waste firewood.

Anyway, when Su Qingyu opened her eyes every day, the Zhongzhai Master was already at her house.

Later, the grandfather and grandson would bring rice and noodles from time to time and eat at her house.

It was said that Su Qingnao's home was warm, the food cooked was delicious, and there were many people eating and it was lively. It made Su Qingnao dumbfounded.

Ever since she had someone make a fire table, there was no shortage of hot water in the flower hall. An iron kettle was sitting on the fire table every day to boil water. Everyone has hot water and tea to drink when they come.

Then I threw a handful of millet into the fire bucket, and there were people to eat, drink, and talk to. This winter was really not a comfortable one.

After the fire table was installed in the dining hall, Su Qingyu made various pots. When winter came, she put the pots in the holes on the fire table and ate hot pot every day. Everyone sat around and ate together, which was warm and comfortable.

Boil the vegetables in the pot, rinse them, pick them up and dip them in various ingredients, and eat them in your mouth, which is called a comfort.

Various hot pots and dry pots.

Sometimes I just cook a pot of porridge and hot pot. When the porridge in the pot is cooked, you can add various vegetables and meat to the porridge while eating it. You don’t need to dip it in when you pick it up. It’s delicious when you put it in your mouth.

Zhongzhai Master likes to eat porridge-based hot pot the most. Every time he eats porridge-based hot pot, he goes to the dining hall early to wait. He held the bowl and stared at the pot, drooling. He also took Xiaobao to sit and wait together.

The big one and the small one stared at the pot with both eyes, drooling at the bubbling porridge. Su Qingyu and others enjoyed watching this look every time.

Everyone, old and young, likes to eat porridge-based hot pot. After he finished eating, he went around saying that after the village leader Zhong’s publicity, almost everyone in the village came to watch.

This hot pot is great, it saves trouble, no frying, no waste of oil, and fewer dishes to wash. This porridge base hot pot is especially good. It nourishes health and warms the stomach, and is suitable for all types of teeth.

Everyone will imitate it when they get back.

In the past, when winter came, everyone didn't like to cook when the weather was cold. After the meal was ready, they had no appetite to eat it. Just like completing the task, they still felt like they were full of cold wind.

Nowadays, women especially like to cook, and men especially like to stay around the fire table at home. Everything is done on the fire table.

Every house has a fire table and a smoke pipe extending outside the house. The house is no longer choked by smoke, and the door can be closed tightly when sleeping. It is really comfortable.

The kang is even better. I no longer wake up from the cold in the middle of the night, and the elderly and children don’t even want to get off the kang. He would lie on the kang all day and night.

Even though I had all the furs at home wrapped around me, I still shivered from the cold and my teeth chattered. Now I sit on the fire bed. It's so hot that I don't even want to wear clothes.

Once the body feels comfortable, the elderly and children also like to go out. Carry a fire basket when you go out, and you won't feel cold on the road. When you arrive at someone else's house, you get on the kang as soon as you enter the house. The house is also warm, which is really nice. I have gone out more times this winter than in all previous years combined.

This winter has been the most comfortable winter for everyone.

When the weather gets cold, Su Qingnao also likes to play cat at home.

Throwing various nuts and millet into the fire tube, Xiaobao nestled next to her and stared. She picked out one, and Xiaobao followed it with his eyes, swallowing his saliva, waiting for her to peel it for him to eat.

He looks like a greedy little cat.

Those who didn't know it thought she was hungry.

He touched his belly and said, "Xiaobao, you have already eaten several millets, but you can't eat any more. Your belly will be bloated and uncomfortable after a while."

Xiaobao shook his head reluctantly: "Still eating."

Su Qingyu glared at him, and he looked at her with a pitiful look.

Su Qingyao was a little soft-hearted and couldn't bear to refuse: "Okay, then eat two more."

"Okay. Two."

She clapped her little hands and stared at her hands, looking like a baby bird waiting to be fed. Su Qingyu fell in love with her obedient and obedient look.

It's a pity that there are no sweet potatoes or sugar cane, otherwise roasted sweet potatoes and roasted sugar cane would be the most comfortable to eat in winter. When you eat it, it feels warm in your stomach.

When Su Qingyu wasn't paying attention, Ruyi secretly fed Xiaobao another millet. The two of them looked at each other secretly and smiled as if they had found a treasure, thinking that Su Qingyu didn't see it.

Both mother and daughter are good at spoiling their children, and they don't want their children to be unhappy.

"Miss, let's get some rice cakes to eat."

Su Qingyu nodded: "Then grind some more glutinous rice flour. I will make glutinous rice balls and pastries for you in a few days."

"Okay. I'm just going to make the glutinous rice!" Ruyi immediately got up and ran out. The pastries made by the lady are really delicious. She was greedy again.

When Lu saw it, he smiled and cursed: "You are crazy. Even here, Miss, if you were in the governor's mansion, you would have been scolded."

Xiaobao also imitated Lu's words: "Crazy and crazy."

This made Lu and Su Qingyu laugh. He looked left and right and laughed. Although he didn't know what the adults were laughing at, it didn't stop him from being happy at all.

Su Qingyu smiled and said: "It's good for her to be like this. We are not outsiders."

Mrs. Lu sighed with emotion: "The time when we followed the young lady into the village was the happiest time for us, mother and daughter, in so many years of life."

The Su family lived warm and comfortable in the village, but they didn't know that it was a different scene outside.
