"I think you can make a hairpin that looks like a small fan, hide poison needles inside, and then when you encounter danger, you can shoot the needle at the acupuncture points. I think this will be more effective." Shen You suggested.

Zhou Ning nodded and said, "Okay, I'll try it later. So what did you do today?"

"My master and I went for a walk in the town, and he found someone. I don't know what they talked about, but after we came out, he told me that the north is particularly cold this year and asked me to prepare early." Shen You said.

Shen You held his chin with both hands and said listlessly, "This year is indeed exceptionally cold, so there is a high probability of drought next year. After the drought there will be floods, so next year may be a year of great disaster."

Zhou Ning asked: "Do you think the people here know that next year will be a disaster year?"

"So what if they knew? These things are just predictions. Besides, even if they believe that next year will be a disaster year, there is nothing they can do. After paying various taxes, there will probably be nothing left. Even if they want to eat steamed buns and pickles, they need flour and salt. How many families can afford these things? So for them, preparing for disasters is just a fantasy." Shen You said.

However, because of the factory, the income of most families in the village has increased a lot, and they may store some food, so Zhou Ning is not too worried.

A few days ago, Aunt Pang came to visit our house and said that the kang was really comfortable. She even asked a craftsman, Xiaoxiao's father, to go to her house to repair one.

When the people in the factory found out about it and had some spare money, they all built a kang.

Zhou Ning asked: "By the way, how is your little seedling?"

Shen You felt angry when talking about this, and slammed the table and said, "I really am. I get angry when talking about this. I only cultivated a few of my little seedlings, my poor little babies, and some of them were pinched by the naughty kids. I wanted to strangle them to death. Fortunately, my remaining big babies are growing well, otherwise I would definitely beat them up."

Zhou Ning: Haha ....

The word "big baby" hit Zhou Ning's funny spot.

Shen You said expressionlessly: "You hurt my eyes, and I'm really angry."

As he said that, Shen You patted Zhou Ning.

Zhou Ning laughed and said, "Oh, I was wrong, I was wrong, okay, okay, I know I shouldn't laugh, it's just, it just hit my funny bone, hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha."

At the beginning of November, it started snowing in the village. The snow was heavy and the village was covered in white.

The children were very happy. They could make snowmen and have snowball fights. The cool kid even built a snow house.

The old people in the village are all worried. Their generation originally lived in a very northern place. One year, the winter was extremely cold, followed by a severe drought. They fled here to escape the disaster and the village is what we have today.

However, because the harvest this year was good, the women in the village made a lot of money, so life did not seem so difficult.

Not to mention the Shen family, their lives are better than before.

Shen Zhong and Shen Xin have made progress in their studies, and the teacher said that Shen Xin can take part in the college entrance examination next year.

Liu Qingxiu and Zhou Wan were busy with factory affairs all day, calculating accounts and dealing with conflicts. They were very busy.

Shen You is busy cultivating her "big baby".

Zhou Ning spends all day either reading medical books, learning from Zhang Zhao, or studying various herbs.

Zhou Ning felt that she should be able to graduate from college with her current level.

Everyone is very busy, even Shen Yi is very busy. The one who is the least busy is Shen Shi. He has been doing all the housework at home these days. Except for cooking, he basically takes care of all other housework.

Today is Laba Festival.

Shen You got up early and went to the kitchen to make Laba garlic.

To be precise, everyone got up very early today, even Zhou Ning rarely stayed in bed.

Shen Shi was sweeping the floor and dusting as usual, and Shen You even thoughtfully prepared an apron for him.

Shen Shi was so moved that he worked even harder to clean up the house.

Liu Qingxiu and Zhou Wan cooked today's meal, while Shen Yi and Zhou Ning helped in the kitchen.

As usual, Shen Zhong and Shen Xin read in the morning first, then went to chop wood and fetch water, but now it was freezing cold and these tasks were difficult to do.

Shen You makes Laba garlic, and he makes it in pots one by one.

A few days ago, Shen You went to the town and bought a cartload of garlic, all of which were plump, white and thick.

Just peeling garlic is a huge project.

Fortunately, Qingyi brought Bai Zhao and Qi Ji to eat and drink as usual this morning, and was pulled by Shen You to peel garlic.

Qi Ji sat on a small stool, without any complaints, and peeled garlic quietly. His hands were clean and slender, as white as jade, and very flexible, but not in a hurry, and peeled garlic rhythmically.

Shen You thought: He is really good at peeling garlic, I will look for him next time.

In the end, the three masters and apprentices worked together to peel a large pot of garlic. In fact, Laba garlic is not very difficult to make.

Shen You divided the garlic into three portions, put them into three jars respectively, and added sugar and rice vinegar, with about the same amount of rice vinegar and garlic. Then sealed them, and that was about it.

"Xiao Si, go get the ice on the platform and ask your senior brother to knock it down. Then make a bowl for everyone. Eating Laba ice will keep you from getting sick for the whole year." Liu Qingxiu said.

Shen You said okay and went to get ice.

"Let me go. I think the pot is quite big and might be a little heavy." Qi Ji said gently.

Shen You said okay without thinking. She felt it was too cold outside and wanted to stay at home if possible.

After Qi Ji brought the ice, he knocked it.

I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but Shen You feels that this Laba ice seems to be more crystal clear.

Qi Ji is very good at pounding the ice. Each piece of ice is only the size of a little finger nail, which is especially good for making crushed ice.

Shen You specially made jam the night before.

The jam was made from a kind of sour fruit here. Because it was very sour, Shen You also added a lot of sugar. Zhou Ning complained about this, saying that she would become a fat man if she continued like this. Shen You pinched Zhou Ning's face and said that even if she gained another ten pounds, she would not be considered fat because she was too malnourished before.

In addition to jam, Shen You also prepared various dried fruits and osmanthus jam made in the summer.

These things were placed on the table. Shen You took a small bowl and put a spoonful of ice, a spoonful of jam, and a spoonful of dried fruit in it. He smiled and said, "This is how we eat it. You can add whatever you want."

Qingyi stood with his hands behind his back and did not move. Since Qingyi did not move, Qi Ji and Bai Zhao did not dare to move either.

After a while, seeing that Qing Yi hadn't moved, Shen You asked, "What's wrong, Master? Don't you want to eat?"

Qing Yi said slowly: "I was wondering why there is no chili pepper? I'm waiting for you to take it out."
