Chapter 64： It's really hard to eat

Chapter 64 Fighting really hard just to eat

The old man entered the yard, and Qiao Jiaqi led him into the living room and poured him a cup of hot water himself.

"Isn't home far from here?"

"Yes, there are ten miles,"

The old man was wearing patched clothes, and his family background was not very good.

Qiao Mai had come to the living room at this time, and the old man was about to get up when he saw her, so she said hastily.

"Sit, sit,"

The old man didn't drink any water, so he quickly brought the back basket to his body, and lifted the lid on it. There was a pile of thick straw inside, and two shivering little milk dogs fell asleep.

"It's just full moon today, look at it."

Qiao Mai hugged one of them with both hands. The dog smelled a strange smell, and immediately opened its eyes vigilantly. When it saw the stranger, it bared its teeth at her, and barked wildly.

She couldn't help laughing, "It's really fierce, it's a good material to take care of the home."

The old man was relieved when he heard this, knowing that this dog could stay, Qiao Mai picked up another one, and that one reacted the same as the first one.

Looking at their appearance, they should be a hybrid of local dogs and wolves.

"I'll keep these two, how much does the old man plan to sell?"

"You look at it, this is my dog's first litter, and it has never been sold before."

"To tell you the truth, your pup has the blood of a wolf, and the breed is good. If you have such a pup in the future, you can't sell it at a low price. I will give you five taels of silver for one, and ten taels for two. What does the old man expect?"

"Can you sell ten taels?"

"right!"

"Okay, then ten taels. It is said that Mrs. Qiao is a good person. It seems to be true. Thank you. There is no rice at home. I originally hoped that this litter of cubs could sell some money."

Qiao Mai smiled, took out a money bag from his arms, counted out ten taels of silver, and handed it to the old man.

He took it with both hands, wiped his tears with his sleeve, then carefully put it into his purse, and then put it in his arms.

"If there is nothing else to do, the old man will leave."

"Well, it's snowing outside, so go home early."

The Yuan family started to send the old man out, and saw a dog at the door, which should be the dog's mother, and the old man patted the dog on the head.

"Don't worry, this is a good family, they will definitely enjoy themselves here, better than following us."

"Wow, woof"

The old man wiped away his tears and took the black dog away. The black dog turned his head three times at a step. Yuan Jiaqi was very moved when he saw it.

All things have spirits, tigers do not eat their offspring, even animals know it, but humans can do things that are even worse than animals.

Barred the door and went back to the living room. At this time, the three little guys were surrounding the two puppies.

"Mother, they are so small."

"Well, go find a crate with hay in it, and I'll get them some old clothes and put it under,"

The Yuan family sat together and watched with a smile. The children all like small animals, especially dogs. They like them very much. They have wanted to raise one for a long time.

Fengyun found a wooden box, Yunfeng spread the straw, Qiao Mai brought an old coarse cloth, and the clothes were all new, she was reluctant.

After making the bed, put the two pups in. Seeing the wake-up dogs looking for milk, the three pups immediately ran to the kitchen to make rice soup for them. Yunfeng also cut some diced meat and threw it in.

This winter, the Qiao family lived very comfortably.

Every house is warm, and the children are also dressed warmly. The Yuan family and his son are living a better life than before.

The Fengyun brothers felt the warmth they had never experienced before. Although this father and mother were not relatives, they were better than relatives.

Mother taught them martial arts, father taught them to read and write, eat well, wear warm clothes, do what they can do every day, mother and father never quarreled with them, always encouraged them, praised them, and made them confident Heart is satisfied, there is no better day than this.

Not to mention twin brothers, even Yuan Jiaqi and his son also like this atmosphere very much.

Qiao Mai went to the kitchen to look at them, and told them, "The porridge must be cooled before feeding. They are different from people and cannot eat hot ones."

"Yes, mother"

"They are still young, and they cannot be fed with bones, especially chicken bones. If they eat them, they will get stuck in their throats and die. Even when they grow up, they cannot be fed with chicken bones, you know?"

"knew"

"Well, then you can tinker, mother to go to work."

Qiao Mai returned to the house and got on the kang, planning to move Linger out of the space as soon as the snow stopped.

It is best to eat hot pot on the day. There are many people and there is a testimony. Linger’s household registration was done a few years ago, and she doesn’t need to go out all winter. She will accompany her to adapt to the environment and climate at home.

I made several sets of small clothes, but I never used them. The space is warm and the temperature is 25 degrees all year round. The child always wears unlined clothes.

Thinking of her body, she was a little worried. She had been in the space all the time, and whether she could adapt to the temperature here after she came out.

The snow outside kept falling for three days and three nights. Fearing that the house would not be able to withstand it, Yuan Jiaqi took a broom and tied a bamboo pole, and climbed a ladder to sweep the snow off the house every day.

Not only the snow on the roof, but also the snow in the yard was cleaned up very well. Dongzao’s horse shed was also clean, warm and comfortable, where it was cleaned up firmly, saving Qiao Mai a lot of energy.

The snow stopped, and it was already clean without everyone reaching out.

The two puppies are already used to this place. After waking up, the three children let them out for a run.

Every day, my stomach is full of food. It may be due to oil and water. It feels bigger in three days. The three children take good care of them.

Even though it is snowing, foodies still knock on her door to buy things with umbrellas.

It’s cold, and things are easy to put away. Once you buy a lot, you can eat them slowly when you go home.

The foodies in Tianhe Town and Tiannan Town will come here occasionally, and they really work hard to eat.

When she is tired from doing embroidery work at home, she will make some snacks to relax, such as fried chestnuts in sugar, salt and pepper peanuts, spiced melon seeds, and sometimes fruit candies, hawthorn cakes, candied haws and the like.

I have made a lot, and in addition to keeping some for my own children to eat, I will also sell them to outsiders. The children feel very happy.

Qiao Mai was also very happy. She thought that there would be no business if she didn't go out of the stall, but she didn't expect it. Her stall is very famous.

Thinking of hot pot, she swallowed hopelessly.

Since she wore it here, she hadn't eaten a few mouthfuls of what she liked in the previous life, and Xue stopped saying that she had to eat a meal.

So he put aside his embroidery work, ran out of the house, and saw Yuan Jiaqi teaching his children to read in the living room.

"Brother Yuan, shall everyone take a day off today?"

"Is there something wrong?"

"Brother Yuan, please take the child and invite someone to our house for dinner."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

"Then I'll go to the kitchen to prepare. Let's have hot pot at noon."

After she finished speaking, she ran to the kitchen and started to work. She stored frozen tofu, wide noodles, duck blood, enoki mushrooms, hairy tripe, lamb slices, and other shabu-shabu ingredients in the space, so there was no need to worry about them, they were all alive.

Just take it out and put it on a plate. In the living room, a big round table has been cleared out by the children.

As long as mother goes to the kitchen, there must be something delicious.

She took out the copper pot, put it on a plate with water, and brought it to the table.

Then put the same dishes on top, filling the table, making the children look stupid.

"Mother, why is this dish raw? Can it be eaten raw?"

"Ah, it's raw. After a while, when everyone arrives, mother will tell you how to eat these. I promise you will like them."

Take out a piece of slightly spicy hot pot base from the space and put it into a copper pot, fill it with water, and put charcoal under the copper pot, while the children blink and watch.

"Don't touch the copper pot, it's very hot"

"oh."

When the guests arrived, the room was full of aromas. Everyone took off their cotton cloaks and put them aside, watching around the table.

"Ah, there are so many things, some of which I haven't seen before."

"Sit down, sit down, it's cold, I invite everyone to eat hot pot."

"Hey, I'm in your light."

Twelve people sat together, and the fragrance had already made the children salivate.

Qiao Mai put the prepared ingredients into the bowls in front of them.

"Go!"
