Xu Qing: "forget it, it's not easy to go out in winter. Don't toss about." The key is that Fu Xitang may not happen to see her outside the space.
Every winter their family stay in the space, only Li Changting will come out every one or two hours during the day to have a look, and then add some firewood to the warm Kang.
It's well known that Xu Qing doesn't like to be disturbed in winter. At that time, when he goes out for a few steps, he may be frozen into a lump of ice, but he has to risk his life.
Think of this Fu Xitang also stopped drinking together, just from Xu Qing here to go a pair of playing cards and a pair of mahjong, take back to pass the time.
"By the way, what are you going to do with those cocoa beans?" Fu Xitang asked, "when did you make chocolate? Give me a taste."
Xu Qing: "those cocoa beans have not been fermented. They may not make chocolate. I use them for other purposes. I want to try to make some snacks by myself instead of following the traditional method."
Fu Xitang's face changed: "you deceive me?"
Xu Qingxiao: "you think it's your fault. Besides, don't you come back with a few bags of fresh cocoa?"
Fu Xitang: "some guests wanted to eat this. I brought it for others..."
Xu Qing: "not long after I got on the boat, I knew that you didn't have a good heart. There was no door for me to make recipes."
Although Xu Qing thought it was nothing to tell Fu Xitang before, she still decided to put it off.
Fu Xitang left disappointedly. Xu Qing smiles with satisfaction at the thought of the cocoa trees that he secretly transplanted and a large number of cocoa fruits he picked.
Every winter is not the most boring time for Xu Qing. During this time, they spend the longest time in the space, so they basically spend this time growing food and taking care of the space.
The rice seedlings that have been raised can be planted in a few days. In a week or two, the peanut and rapeseed fields should be harvested. These are used to extract oil. When we have time, we have to plant wheat and beans. These things can be eaten quickly, just like rice consumed every month. We have to eat 40 or 50 Jin a month.
Take advantage of the winter when the family is in the space to collect a batch of food, or wait until other time may not be empty one by one.
Anyway, after the Spring Festival, Xu Qing had planned to go to Shengzhou to build a branch shop and replace the small shop with the big one.
After entering the space, Xu Qing and Li Changting transplanted a batch of newly cultivated fruit seedlings to the mountain. Now they look at the fruit mountain with luxuriant branches and leaves, which is no longer the bare hillside at the beginning.
Because of the broad hillside, Xu Qing has cultivated many varieties of fruit seedlings in recent months. She has all the famous fruit trees in all parts of the world. There are several kinds of peach trees alone.
Of course, because she was unwilling, she planted three coconut trees, two tall and one short. They were planted on the edge of the lake for watering. This time, they grew slowly for eight or ten years.
With more fruit trees planted, there is no end of fruit, so the finished products made of these fruits, such as dried fruit, jam, preserves and so on, are not wasted, all of which are supplied to the daily consumption of qingtingfang.
Li Changting and Duanmu Xiang rowed a small fishing boat to the lake to cast a net to catch shrimp. They learned the skill of catching shrimp from Hu Zi before.
The crabs are not the fattest at this time, but the shrimps have grown up.
Two men fought on the lake all morning and brought back three buckets of booty.
The big fish in the bucket are half as long as an arm. When they grow up, they can grow bigger in a few years. But now they are needed, and this size is OK.
Lake shrimp is smaller than Shanghai shrimp, of course, it's not as big as Shanghai shrimp. This one is only chubby. It's the most suitable one to make wine and food.
Shenbao is now greedy. He can dance happily when he is occasionally fed a bowl of egg soup or vegetable paste.
Xu Qing and a Ying take half of the river shrimp, shell the meat, wash it clean, take a small portion, chop the shrimp meat into mud, cook it soft and rotten with rice porridge, and give it to Shenbao as a supplementary food.
Another part of shrimp meat with some vegetables to make fried noodles, little dragonfly can now eat the same as adults, fried noodles is also one of her favorite food, let alone put her favorite shrimp in it.
The little Dragonfly anxiously waited for the spicy fried noodles, and inadvertently saw that her younger brother's shrimp mud porridge seemed to be delicious. She took a spoon and walked away impolitely.
The shrimp porridge without salt or any seasoning is so weak that people have no appetite, but they can taste the original flavor of the ingredients, which is still very fragrant, and there is nothing bad to eat in the space.
Little Dragonfly tasted it and thought it was delicious, but she didn't want to taste it again. No matter how delicious it was, it couldn't be as delicious as the fried noodles she was waiting for.
However, Shen Bao was very delicious. He opened his mouth wide and took a spoonful of it. His eyes glanced at the stove, apparently smelling the fragrance coming from there. Chowhound
as like as two peas, he chanced to be seen by the eyes of his eyes. "There is a snack food coming from our home. We have a lot of food to eat. This looks like your chowhound. It's just a genetic inheritance."With that, Xu Qing glanced at Duanmu ring, saying who is self-evident.
Duanmu Xiang is not ashamed: "fortunately our family can afford it." Said Duanmu ring brazenly to dig a spoon of son's shrimp mud porridge, was a Ying stare.
As soon as the fried noodles were on the table, several food items in the family could not care about the hot, and they began to talk about the noodles.
The little Dragonfly picked up the shrimps and said, "it's delicious, but it's too small to fill your teeth..."
Lake shrimp shell fried after smaller, Xu Qing scolded with a smile: "people small ghost big." Then we talked about the fact that there are a lot of sea shrimps in our ice cellar, but they can't be taken out until the Spring Festival.
This year, it's Xu Qing's turn to cook New Year's Eve dinner. She has been preparing new year's Eve dishes since five days before New Year's Eve.
Make a menu first, and then arrange the room for the day. Snacks, snacks, fruits and drinks should be prepared.
Three days before New Year's Eve, Li Zhu sent a large number of food materials, which Xu Qing wanted to use, but most of these food materials were replaced by those in the space by Xu Qing.
She sorted out the dishes, washed them, cut them, put them in the kitchen in the yard, and then fired them until they were cooked on New Year's Eve.
It's freezing. The kitchen is worse than the refrigerator. There's no need to worry about the meat.
Then Xu Qing stewed a pot of bittern in the space. On New Year's Eve, he poured the pot of bittern directly into the kitchen outside. The fire was warm and the smell of meat wafted out. Everyone knew that Xu Qing was making delicious food in his yard.
