Chapter 720 Entering Winter

As for Wangchun, she would cancel her slave status and sign an employment agreement.

If they are willing, they will stay in the Qin family for the rest of their lives. She and Qin Lang will definitely not treat them badly. If they don't want to, in a few years, they will train new people to take over. If they want to leave, she will only bless them.

Fancheng's Lin family sent someone here for the last time before the real winter.

This trip delivered a little more materials.

The amount of medicinal materials that Su Jin specifically named in his letter to treat wind-cold, fever, frostbite, lung disease and other medicines increased by half compared to the previous days.

In addition, there are six carriages full of New Year goods that Su Yingxue and Young Master Lin Qi brought to Su Jin and Qin Lang, as well as some from Mrs. Guan of the Houfu of Dongchang.

These six carriages have a wide variety of new year goods. The clothing, shoes and socks are either leather or thick velvet. They are soft and thick to the touch.

There are also all kinds of candied fruit and dry goods. Knowing that Su Jin likes to eat seafood, he specially bought a lot of dried goods.

In addition, there are thousands of jins of fine silver frost charcoal.

was very thoughtful.

The Lin family also specially followed a neat and reliable butler. After kowtowing and saying goodbye, Su Jin smiled and asked about the situation of Su Yingxue and Young Master Lin Qi, and he could answer a few words.

Knowing that they are all well, Su Jin is also happy for them, feeling a little emotional. After this little sister gave birth to a child, she hasn't seen their mother and child yet. When she goes back with Qin Lang later, I'm afraid that child will be able to make soy sauce, right?

Unfortunately, now that I am pregnant, I will not be able to move around for two or three years at least, otherwise it would be good to go back next year to see them.

The Lin family's caravan stayed for about seven days before heading back. Sweep away the large amount of medicinal materials that have been purchased and hoarded here.

The next time you come back will be after March next year.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and all kinds of fresh vegetables on the market have basically disappeared. Only some green onions with bare stems and no leaves are being sold. Looking at the shriveled skin, I am afraid that it will not be able to eat for a long time.

In this season, only a very small number of local tyrants can eat fresh vegetables. Even the local tyrants, vegetables are very expensive, and it is impossible to eat whatever they want.

The Tang family does not have this problem.

The Tang family has only two masters, Mrs. Tang, mother and daughter, but the vegetable conservatory has a full two acres of land. The vegetables produced are enough for the mother and daughter to stretch and eat, and they can't finish it. The head and face housekeepers and shopkeepers can occasionally get the master's house. Even so, the fresh and fresh green of the yard is still enough to supply.

Thanks to Mrs. Tang, Su Jin and Mei Niang did not lack fresh vegetables.

Every five days, Mrs. Tang will send someone to deliver two baskets of fresh vegetables to Su Jin, Su Jin keeps one basket for herself, and another basket for Mei Niang to deliver.

When Qin Lang was still an unknown recruit, Su Jin searched for her husband for thousands of miles and forged a deep friendship with Madam Tang. Even if Qin Lang has become a lieutenant now, Su Jin and Madam Tang do not need to cut off communication to avoid suspicion.

has always had friendship, and no one will believe it even if we cut off contact at this moment. Instead, it is better to be open and generous as before.

It’s just that the two sides are not suitable for any cooperation in business. Even if they really want to do something together, they have to do it in secret.

Mei Niang and Madam Tang wanted to avoid suspicion. On Mei Niang's birthday, they only invited people from the army and the government. Madam Tang accompanied them with a gift, and no one went.

Mrs. Tang is also not good at sending fresh vegetables directly to General Duan's mansion. Otherwise, others will follow suit and send them to the door to curry favor, and Mei Niang would not be able to refuse.

It has always been a taboo for lieutenant generals to associate with local tyrants.

through Su Jin but nothing. After all, they are all from the same system.

The fresh and tender rapeseed, lettuce, Chinese cabbage, white radish, leeks, shallots, and garlic sprouts are particularly attractive in winter, and I feel happy just by looking at them. The fresh and attractive unique fragrance is looming, giving people the illusion that they can be eaten raw.

In Shuanghe Ranch, near the hot springs, a few vegetable plots were opened up to grow vegetables in winter, but because of inexperience, the vegetables did not grow very well, and Su Jin did not want to reveal the specific conditions of the pasture, where the production The vegetables are not easy to transport. Right now, I can send a few baskets to satisfy everyone's hunger in about ten days. It will be impossible when the heavy snow blocks the road.

By the end of October, the first real snowstorm finally came.

is really overwhelming.

Accompanied by the whistling cold wind, the goose feather snows fluttered one after another, rushing to the ground, wrapped in a thick cloak, wearing a Zhaojun sleeve, and holding a stove standing on the porch. five meters.

The snow on the ground is growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and I don’t know when it will stop.

Everyone has basically never seen such a big battle. All of them stood under the eaves of the porch with their arms around their arms and thick clothes.

Qin Lang hasn't come back yet. I don't know if he is staying in the barracks or going out on a mission.

Su Jin didn't worry too much, it was just a heavy snowfall, as long as there was no problem of lack of clothing and food, it was nothing.

Besides, relatively speaking, it is safer in this weather. Because the Hu tribe basically wouldn't go out in this weather, they had already found a place for Maodong to go.

Today, everyone was very excited and excited. Su Jin smiled and told the kitchen to make several hot pots at night, so that everyone could eat more lively.

slaughtered a sheep, bought 20 pounds of tender beef from the market, served with rice cakes, vermicelli, tofu, yuba, soaked mushrooms and fungus, and then sliced ​​a plate of hot and sour sauerkraut. Su Jin added a plate of fresh and green vegetables to a table from his vegetables, which made everyone even more happy.

Under the warm lights, there are several hot pots in the spacious and warm dining room, and everyone gathers around to eat and drink steamingly, warming the heart and stomach, not to mention how beautiful.

Su Jin called Wangchun and Coltsfoot, Pinellia, Baishao, etc. to eat hot pot in the house. In addition to beef and mutton, he also slaughtered a chicken and made the bottom of the mandarin duck pot. One was mushroom chicken soup, and the other was fiery red and fragrant. Spicy hot pot, all delicious.

Qixinglou has now also launched a hot pot that warms the body and stomach, and eats and drinks lively. Xiaoxing is very smart. Su Jin just said that she can prepare a delicious hot pot base, which is very popular.

So that in this season Qixinglou is simply dominated by hot pot. After all, it is too cold. Stir-fry dishes are often cold as soon as they are served with two chopsticks. What better than hot pot?
