Chapter 202

On the edge of the lake, beard, Xu Gao and Li Changting are still discussing things.

"It's too dangerous to come here to get ice because it's freezing. It's better to move some people here. It's not the coldest time yet. It's still too late to dig a cave to repair the Kang."

As soon as Li Changting's words came out, both Hu Zi and Xu Gao fell into silence. Xu Gao looked at Hu Zi quietly, while Hu Zi felt his chin and thought deeply, but did not answer.

Li Changting gives Xu Gao a look.

Xu Gao immediately understood and said with a smile, "I think it's feasible for some people to temporarily move in and dig caves around. I'll let them move back in the spring of next year. Of course, if you don't want to, then forget it. "

Beard said: "it's no problem to move here Let me put it bluntly. Nothing else is a problem. As long as you have enough food, you can live anywhere. "

Xu Gaolian said hastily: "of course, the food must be enough for the winter. This will not trouble you."

With Xu Gao's assurance, Hu Zi was relieved: "that's OK. Anyway, there are so many mountains on my side. You can bring people to settle down. The three mountains are still empty. You can choose your own place."

"OK, don't worry. I'll arrange this to ensure that it won't affect your normal life!" Xu Gao once again assured that he also found that the place on this side of the beard was very big. That is to say, it's no problem to put all the people in Xinghu together. It's not completely tolerable, but more than enough.

Beard laughed: "with your words, I can rest assured!"

In one afternoon, we loaded five carts full of ice. There was still a lot of ice left, but we couldn't pull it any more. We had to give up.

Xu Gao left with people all night, saying that he couldn't help but want to bring back the good news as soon as possible.

Xu Qing and Li Changting left early the next morning, and they got home two days later.

The two went there for five days. The village had stored a lot of ice during these five days. There were enough caves in the village to store ice in every family.

According to the daily water consumption, we plan to store the water needed for the whole winter.

Especially after learning that the underground river on the other side of Xinghu Lake was frozen, so that everyone had no water to use, so they had to go to moustache village to dig ice. They even tried every means to store more ice and water.

However, half a month later, there is still water flowing in their underground river, and there is no sign of freezing.

At this time, everyone who has saved enough ice also relaxed and began to make some preparations for the new year.

These days, many people have come to ask Xu Qing what special patterns potatoes and sweet potatoes can make. It's better to be a snack. So Xu Qing went to the big stove in Dashan cave to teach everyone how to make delicious food.

They have no place to buy new year's goods now, and it's too shabby not to get some delicious food for the new year. Of course, they have to eat well in the new year, so that they can have everything they want in the coming year.

Considering the current lack of conditions, every household has no oil, so Xu Qing only made two things, one is vegetable potato cake, the other is baked sweet potato chips.

Boil potatoes and press them into mud. Add chopped vegetables. Put any vegetables you have. Then knead them into a ball and flatten them. Fry them in a pot over low heat until both sides are slightly brown.

It's easier to bake sweet potato slices. Cut them into thin slices and bake them slowly over low heat until there is no moisture. The sweet potato slices baked in this way are crisp and sweet, which is very delicious.

After watching it several times, the women in the village soon learned it and went home to practice.

The next day, Xu Qing nailed a piece of wood on the road we had to go through to draw water, which read.

[at present, it is only on sale at this special price for home brewing:

half a catty of turbid wine price: a catty of potatoes or sweet potatoes. The limit is 50 Jin.

Half a catty sake price: two catties of potatoes or sweet potatoes. The limit is 30 jin.

Each family can taste a small cup for free. The quantity is limited. If you want to buy it, please don't worry about it. 】

now there is still water under the river. We usually use it to fight in the river. We plan to use the ice when we need it. So when someone passes by and sees the wooden sign on the cave wall, they are stunned.

Wine is not wine, women are not rare, but men see this, completely unable to walk.

Big new year's day, don't drink a little wine how line!

So the water did not fight, and quickly go home to discuss with their mother-in-law!

Ever since I knew that Xu Qing had put up a liquor brand, the people who came to Xu Qing had formed a long line. All the adults from every family came together to taste the wine.

Although each family has only one small cup, for men who have not touched wine for nearly a year, this small cup is extremely precious.

"It's really not expensive to exchange a kilo of grain for half a kilo of turbid wine! How difficult it is to make wine. The material alone is more than one jin of grain. This is to see the rate of wine. I heard a former wine maker say that under good conditions, three jin of grain usually produces one jin of wine, which depends on the craftsmanship of the master. If the craftsmanship is not good, ten jin of grain is useless. "

The men who know a little bit talk in line and popularize wine making knowledge to some women and men who don't know how to drink.

"Besides, rice, wheat and barley are commonly used for wine making. Now we can't find rice and wheat here. I'm sad to see this only once, and I don't know how many years it will take to drink wine again.""I'll try sake later. If it tastes good, I'll buy more and save it to drink slowly. I don't know how cool it is to drink a mouthful in winter."

Xu Qing's special price is indeed a special price. There is no cheaper price for the wine brewed from Lingquan water. It's just like a free gift.

If she didn't see everyone's hard life and didn't have a mouthful of delicious food after the Spring Festival, she would be reluctant to sell it, and could not even earn a fifth of the cost.

Think of it as helping others.

Except for the Xu Qing family, the remaining 14 families came, and even the patriarch's family did not receive special treatment.

Li Changting put the table in the corridor, and each family came to taste it one by one, a cup of turbid wine, a cup of sake, no more.

After the front person drinks, the cup then throws into the nearby small pot, has cooked the cup in the boiling water, clamps with the wooden tweezers, then may use again.

A small glass of wine can give you a taste at most, but all the men who have tasted it show amazing expression, especially those who are addicted to alcohol, and they can't wait to lick the glass.

But this will certainly be rejected by Xu Qing, they reluctantly hold back, hurry home to get food!

"Good wine!" After a glass of wine, the patriarch cheerfully cried out. He didn't know if it was the reason why he hadn't drunk for a long time. He felt that this glass of wine was much better than all the wine he had drunk before!

At this time, the men who first tasted the wine came from behind with food and pots.

"I want three Jin sake!"

"I want five Jin of turbid wine!"
