Chapter 270

Xu Qing filled a paper bag with cream and made 26 beautiful red roses. Then he embellished some fresh fruits and wrote in the middle with cream: Happy Birthday to Changting!

The cake made this time is particularly beautiful. It's as delicate as a work of art in a light colored wooden plate.

The cake is put into the cellar, and Xu Qing goes to fry the hot pot base. The family has just killed the cattle, and the hot pot base made from butter is very fragrant.

Xu Qing and Li Changting take out the hot pot ingredients and tell Hao Wei that they will celebrate Li Changting's birthday tonight. They will eat hot pot and prepare vegetables and meat slices.

There are several things you can eat at home. You have to cut at least five catties of beef, mutton and pork slices. It doesn't matter if you have too much. It doesn't go bad anyway.

And some meat miscellaneous, such as tripe, lamb tripe and beef louver, sweet potato powder and Mahua are also essential.

Don't have to wait until evening, when Hao Wei and Xu Ying are ready for the side dishes, we will go directly to prepare to eat.

Xu Qing asks Hao Wei to take the hot pot to the room opposite where no one lives and make the Kang in the room live.

Hao Wei doesn't understand: "why don't you come to my room to eat?"

Xu Qing: "after eating, your room and bedding are full of hot pot smell. How can you live?"

Xu Ying went to the opposite side to raise the Kang, and added two braziers to remove the cold in the room.

When everyone sat around the low table on the hot Kang, Xu Qing raised his cup and said, "come on, happy birthday to Changting! The new year is happy and carefree

"Happy Birthday to my brother-in-law. I wish you a happy birthday."

"Happy birthday, Dad. I wish you a long life."

"Happy birthday. I wish you everything you want. My birthday is not as grand as yours." Duanmu ring clinks a cup with Li Changting and admires him.

"Thank you." Li Changting raised his glass with a smile and drank it in one gulp.

Xu Qing said: "eat fast, I'm so greedy! The hotpot I made this time is not too spicy. It's medium spicy at most. If you don't think it's spicy enough, dip in more chili oil. "

"That's enough. It's just hot. It's too hot to stand." Duanmu rang.

Xu Ying gave Li Tinghui a bowl of bone soup, let him rinse in the soup before eating, so it is not so spicy.

Xu Qing did the same in half of the meal. If it wasn't spicy, she could eat more.

When everyone was eight minutes full, Duanmu went to Xu Qing's room to hold the cake. Xu Qing put a long colored candle in the middle of the cake, and Hao Wei went to blow out the oil lamp.

Xu Qing sang a birthday song to Li Changting, and then asked him to make a wish and blow the candle.

Six people share the cake, only half of it is eaten in the end, and the rest is not wasted, so it can be eaten tomorrow.

After eating cake, we continue to eat hot pot, but now we are full, and the speed of eating slows down a lot.

Hao Wei went to make a large pot of chrysanthemum tea for everyone, and each one had a cup of chrysanthemum tea.

After Li Changting had enough to eat, Xu Qing and others went back to their house.

In the space, Xu Qing said, "go to the cellar and take out the jar behind the last row of wooden frames."

Li Changting laughed and nodded down the cellar.

If Xu Qing could go to the cellar by himself, Li Changting directly guessed what she wanted to send him.

After a while, Li Changting came up with a wine jar in his arms.

"May I open it?"

"Open it. This is your birthday present."

When Li Changting untied the cover of the wine jar, a sweet smell of wine wafted out. As soon as he smelled it, he knew it was fruit wine. But when he poured it out, he was surprised by the color of peach powder in the white porcelain cup.

Peach blossom wine? No, there is no peach blossom in the wine.

Cherry? Grape? Or roses?

Li Changting was puzzled and took a drink from the cup. The wine was full of sweet and sour fruit, sweet and sour. After a while, Li Changting could not tell whether he tasted sweet or sour, but it seemed that it was wrong to define it simply by sweet and sour. He just felt that the wine was like Qing'er's mood, laughing and depressed, which made him endure I can't help but share happiness and sorrow.

"Is it good?" Xu Qing asked expectantly.

"Well, what kind of wine is this?"

"Fruit wine, I brew it casually, but if you like, call it Qingting bar."

"Whatever you want?"

"It's just making wine. How hard it can be."

"Oh, why don't I know what you brewed?"

"The month you left home."

Li Changting knew clearly that no wonder he always felt that there was an indescribable sadness of parting in the wine, which turned out to be the sadness of Acacia.

Li Changting's heart was full of warmth. With a smile, he gently kissed her lips: "thank you. I like it very much. It's the best wine I've ever drunk."

Xu Qing raised his lips with satisfaction: "if you are good, I will brew a jar of wine for you every year."

Li Changting kisses her and whispers, "that's settled."Xu Qing answered vaguely and soon indulged in each other's gentle kisses.

After she became pregnant, she needed more than when she was not pregnant. Sometimes she couldn't help asking and cheering. But Li Changting was more restrained. He tried to stop at once or twice.

Xu Qing loves him and occasionally provides some special services.

In December, the weather became very cold, even the patrol stopped, and people could not stay outside.

On this day, Xu Tian came over against the cold wind and told Xu Qing that they must not sleep to death at night and pay attention to keeping the temperature of the hot Kang. Recently, there have been several cases of sleeping too deep at night. As a result, the hot Kang flamed out and froze to death quietly in their sleep.

This kind of thing has happened before. It may be that this winter is particularly cold. It's really sad to see such a thing happen.

When Xu Tian went back, Li Changting went to see him off for a while. When he came back, his eyebrows were covered with frost.

Next, Xu Qing doesn't come out of the space. Li Changting and duanmuxiang pay attention to the family affairs.

When the weather cleared up, the three men put on thick clothes, took shovels and brooms to clean the snow in the yard, and then moved some firewood into the house.

Sometimes Zhao Jian and Xu Tian would come and have a look to make sure each other's safety.

It often snows in December, but there are many sunny days. Sometimes Xu Qing can't help walking in the snow in the yard and basking in the winter sun.

In the twinkling of an eye, new year's Eve is approaching, Hao Wei begins to make a list of new year's dishes.

At home, the chickens, ducks and rabbits are almost eaten. Every day, there is meat on the table. Sometimes one is not enough to make two. So two days before New Year's Eve, Xu Qing "stealthily" took out 20 more.

On New Year's Eve, Hao Wei cooked ten dishes, each of which was elaborately cooked, implying the perfection of the new year.

There are all kinds of chickens, ducks, rabbits, cattle, sheep, pigs and fish on the table. They are rich in variety and enough in weight.

Outside, the sound of firecrackers rang out, and inside, Yan Yan raised his glass to celebrate.
