Fantasy Farm

The first snow fell at the end of November.

After two months of preparation, Lu Qingjiu filled almost every corner of the house with food, and he didn't even forget to ask Zhu Miaomiao to send him a lot of his favorite jelly candies.Zhu Miaomiao originally planned to come back during the Lantern Festival, but heard from Lu Qingjiu that Shuifu Village would be covered with heavy snow, so he could only give up and said that he would come back next year.

The snow fluttered, and overnight, Shuifu Village was covered with snow, the branches and the ground were all white, and the whole world turned into a beautiful pure white.

Lu Qingjiu made a pot of charcoal in the house, and moved the nests of Xiaohua, Xiaohei and the little fox into the house. The three little animals, wearing the clothes that Lu Qingjiu had cut, collapsed into a pile next to the charcoal pile, lazily warm. looking at his body.Xiaohua's belly is the coolest in summer, but in winter, the most popular is the little fox, especially its pink and tender pink belly, which is warm in his arms. Yin Xun gave up his little flower, and loved Xiaohua The fox held out his palm.The little fox was directly stuffed into his down jacket by Yin Xun, so when he went out to do errands, he would occasionally see a dazed fox head emerging from the collar of his clothes, and Yin Xun would reach out and press the little fox's head back ...

Seeing this scene, Xiao Hua angrily scolded Yin Xun for being ruthless, indicating that Yin Xun promised to take him with him all the time in the next summer, but when it was cold today, he actually betrayed herself and fell into the embrace of the little fox. Can be this scumbag.

Lu Qingjiu was too lazy to care about their grievances, so he let them go.

It's cold, so naturally I want to eat something to warm my body. Lu Qingjiu started to make stews often. Stewed chicken and duck are often served on the table. The most delicious one is the scallion and deaf meat brought back by Bai Yuehu .Peeled scallions are no different from sheep in appearance. If you insist, the meat of scallions is more plump and tender. The soup stewed from the bones is rich and delicious. Drink a big bowl when you go out in the morning. The body will warm up.Part of the meat was stewed in Lu Qingjiu, served with sesame sauce fermented bean curd and chive flowers, it was fragrant and tender in the mouth, without any fishy smell of mutton, which was very suitable for Lu Qingjiu's appetite.

After it snowed, the temperature began to drop, so Lu Qingjiu had to put on a thick down jacket.

Winter should be the most uncomfortable season for Lu Qingjiu. There is no heating in Shuifu Village, so the way to keep warm is to put more charcoal pots in the house.However, it is not very safe to put too many charcoal basins, because poor ventilation may produce a large amount of carbon monoxide, which is a terrible thing. The air that comes in is cold, but the air in the room must also be kept in circulation.

It was so cold this day, Lu Qingjiu wrapped himself into a ball, his body was cold, it didn't matter in summer, but it was a bit unbearable in winter, his hands and feet were almost cold from the beginning to the end, no matter how much he rubbed Not warm enough.

Because winter is about to enter, Bai Yuehu collected all the vegetables that should be harvested in the field, and dragged back more than 200 catties of sweet potatoes from the field. There was really no place to put them in the house, so they simply piled them in the cellar and built a pile of sweet potatoes on top of them. A tarpaulin kept the snow out.

Sweet potatoes are delicious in anything, steamed with rice, cooked into soft sweet potato porridge, or more troublesome, fried sweet potato pancakes with flour, all very pleasing.

The method of sweet potato cake is somewhat similar to that of pumpkin cake, which is to knead sweet potato and flour together, then press it into a cake shape and fry it in a frying pan at low temperature.The sweet potato cakes fried in this way are crispy on the outside, soft and sweet on the inside, served with pickles and fermented bean curd, you won’t feel greasy after eating several times.

These sweet potatoes solved the food problem for pigs and chickens in the pigsty in winter. Originally, Lu Qingjiu was a little worried about whether the weather would be too cold and the chickens would be affected, but Bai Yuehu said don't worry about those chickens, they are very strong. It had no effect on them, so Lu Qingjiu was relieved.

Lu Qingjiu went up the mountain with Yin Xun while the sky was still not completely cold, and picked some wild oranges that hadn't fallen yet.

The leaves of these orange trees are gone, but the branches are covered with golden oranges. Because of the light snow last night, there is a thin layer of white snow on the oranges and branches, which looks a bit poetic.Lu Qingjiu took the bamboo pole, smashed the oranges and put them into the basket.These oranges are very sour, but they are good for canned food. The canned food does not need to be soaked in water. When you want to eat it, you can just take a spoon and eat it directly. It is a good snack in winter when there is a lack of vitamins.

Yin Xun tasted one, his sour face wrinkled together, Lu Qingjiu looked at him like this, reached out and grabbed one in his hand.

Yin Xun thought that Lu Qingjiu would eat it too, and was waiting to see a good show, but who knew that Lu Qingjiu stuffed the oranges into his pocket casually, and said with a smile, "I'll take one back for Bai Yuehu."

Yin Xun: "..." Lu Qingjiu, you are really a bad guy.

The two packed the oranges and went down the mountain to go home.Compared with normal days, Shuifu Village is much quieter after winter, no villagers are seen along the way, the village is quiet, as if everyone disappeared overnight.Lu Qingjiu's nose was red from the cold, he wanted to cover it with his hands, but his hands were also cold, so he had no choice but to give up.

After finally arriving home, as soon as Lu Qingjiu entered the yard, he saw Bai Yuehu cleaning up the ice that had formed on the ground in the yard. Bai Yuehu lowered his head and carefully shoveled off the ice on the stone bit by bit.

"Yuehu, Yuehu." Lu Qingjiu ran over, took out the oranges in his pocket and handed them to him, "Taste the oranges we picked on the mountain."

Bai Yuehu glanced at Lu Qingjiu, took the orange, peeled it, divided it into two halves, and stuffed half of it into his mouth as usual.

Lu Qingjiu and Yin Xun stood beside him and looked at him curiously, but seeing Bai Yuehu's expression was unmoved, he said, "What do you think I am doing?"

"Is it delicious?" Lu Qingjiu asked him.

Bai Yuehu said: "It's fine."

"Is it sour?" Lu Qingjiu began to doubt Bai Yuehu's sense of taste.

"It's okay." Bai Yuehu looked calm, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." It seemed that Bai Yuehu would not give him any imaginary feedback, Lu Qingjiu was a little disappointed, and said, "Then you continue to scan, I'll go back and deal with the oranges."

"Go." Bai Yuehu said.

Lu Qingjiu and Yin Xun turned and entered the room, but they didn't notice that when the two left, Bai Yuehu let go of his hand lightly, and the shovel he was holding in his hand, which was used to deal with ice, fell from his hand. It just broke into several pieces.Bai Yuehu glanced at the shovel, then at the half of the oranges left in his hand, silently walked to the side of the chicken pen, and threw the oranges into the chicken pen.

This is probably the first time the chickens have tasted the food shared by Bai Yuehu...

Lu Qingjiu didn't know that his sour oranges had caused tons of damage to Bai Yuehu. He peeled the orange peels at home, then boiled them in water with sugar, and put them in glass jars for preservation after cooking. Just scoop it out with a spoon.

After the oranges were cooked, the sky also turned dark. The daytime in winter is only about nine or ten hours.

Today's dinner is a soup pot made of scallion and deaf soup. The pot is placed on top of the charcoal fire, and it is steaming. Although there are not many kinds of vegetables, only cabbage and bean sprouts, but the meat is enough, and it has various flavors. all have.Lu Qingjiu also marinated a chicken. This chicken is their family's fighting chicken. The meat is fresh and tender, very fat. After making it marinated, it is salty, fragrant and tender, and it sucks the bones, and you can taste the unique delicacy of chicken.

Lu Qingjiu huddled into a ball and ate the cabbage scalded from the bone soup. I have to say that the bone soup and cabbage were a perfect match, the taste of the dish became sweet and fresh, and after taking another sip of the soup, he felt warm all over his body.

This dish is so blissful in winter, not to mention Bai Yuehu, even Yin Xun has planed a few more bowls of rice than usual.

After eating, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening, and it started to snow again outside. Lu Qingjiu asked Yin Xun if he wanted to make do with his house for the night.Yin Xun shook his head, expressing that he must go home from today.

"The incense candles in the altar haven't been filled yet, and the candles in the altar will be extinguished if you don't go back." Yin Xun replied.

In this case, Lu Qingjiu did not force it.

After Yin Xun left, Bai Yuehu cleared the table and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.When he finished and returned to the room, he saw Lu Qingjiu leaning on the chair and dozing off.

The burning charcoal basin warmed the room, and the radiant light cast a faint blush on Lu Qingjiu's cheeks. The color of his lips was brighter than usual, and the whole person looked very beautiful. Warm, like the sun in winter.

Bai Yuehu didn't speak, and walked slowly to Lu Qingjiu's side. He lowered his head, and his eyes fell on the corner of Lu Qingjiu's lips, where there was a slight arc, as if telling Bai Yuehu that Lu Qingjiu at this time Sake felt very comfortable, and he was intoxicated by the pleasant temperature.

Lu Qingjiu's eyelashes twitched for a while, probably because he noticed someone walking beside him, and then he opened his eyes. His black pupils were a little slack at first, but they gradually focused when he saw Bai Yuehu standing beside him. He muttered, his voice soft and sleepy: "I... am I asleep..."

Bai Yuehu said: "Yes."

"Ah...it's so comfortable." Lu Qingjiu shook his head, wanting to wake himself up a bit. After a sumptuous dinner and the warm temperature in the room, he fell asleep before he knew it.

"Go to the bedroom and sleep." Bai Yuehu said, "Be careful of getting sick." Human beings are very fragile animals, and a disease can take their lives.

"Well, good." Lu Qingjiu stood up, still yawning, he remembered something, and said, "By the way, the oranges I gave you this afternoon have been made into cans, may I get you some to try?"

Bai Yuehu's expression froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal, and said, "No need."

Lu Qingjiu: "Huh?" He was stunned for a moment, a little unresponsive, "You really don't want it?"

Bai Yuehu said: "No, I'm full."

Lu Qingjiu: "..." He was stunned, he didn't expect to hear Bai Yuehu say that he was full under such circumstances.

Lu Qingjiu: "Are you full?"

Bai Yuehu: "Yeah." His tone was so firm, but it made Lu Qingjiu suspicious. Bai Yuehu didn't eat much that night, which was far from his usual level. Could it be that he secretly The extra meal... no... seems to be, for other reasons...

When Lu Qingjiu realized why Bai Yuehu rejected the canned oranges, he finally couldn't help laughing: "The canned oranges are not sour but sweet."

Bai Yuehu didn't speak, just looked at him like that.

Seen by Bai Yuehu's eyes, Lu Qingjiu coughed in embarrassment: "Ahem, I was just joking with you.

Bai Yuehu looked unpredictable, and said lightly: "It's quite funny."

Lu Qingjiu: "..." Brother, I'm sorry, he doesn't dare anymore.

In the end, Lu Qingjiu went to the kitchen and poured out a bowl of oranges for Bai Yuehu. The oranges were boiled in sugar water, the sourness inside was fully diluted, and it was perfectly combined with the sugar. It was sweet and sour, very good Dessert.After Bai Yuehu took a sip, he was sure that it was not the sour orange in the afternoon, so he slowly ate the whole bowl.

After eating, Lu Qingjiu returned to his bedroom to rest.

It was too cold, and taking a bath in a bathroom without a bathroom heater became torture. Lu Qingjiu was sweating all over while picking oranges today. Although he was afraid of the cold, he gritted his teeth and took a shower. After washing, he quickly put on his clothes He rushed into the bed, but he didn't warm up after curling up in the bed for a long time, especially his feet, which were almost numb from the cold.

Lu Qingjiu added a few pieces of charcoal to his charcoal basin to make the fire a bit more prosperous, but he felt that this was really a drop in the bucket, as he was still very cold.

Is the winter in Shuifu Village so cold in my memory?Lu Qingjiu wrapped himself up on the bed and closed his eyes.However, in his mind, the only memory of the winter in Shuifu Village is the hot stew made by his grandma, and the moonlight falling in the yard, illuminating the snow.

Lu Qingjiu didn't sleep well, probably only slept for three or four hours, and the extinguished charcoal fire woke him up from his dream.He really couldn't fall asleep, so he got dressed and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, thinking that moving might make him feel better.

Bai Yuehu appeared behind Lu Qingjiu at some point, and when Lu Qingjiu saw it, he seemed to have been standing at the door for a long time.

"Can't sleep?" Bai Yuehu asked him.

"En." Lu Qingjiu nodded.

"Did you have a nightmare?" Bai Yuehu asked again.

"No." Lu Qingjiu laughed, "It's too cold."

Bai Yuehu tilted his head slightly when he heard the words. He couldn't feel ordinary temperature changes, so he couldn't understand what it was like for Lu Qingjiu to wake up from the cold, but he thought it wouldn't be a pleasant experience.

"I'd better clean the kang out." Lu Qingjiu was a little tired and yawned, "Otherwise, I really don't know how to pass this winter."

Kang was in his grandma's room, and Lu Qingjiu kept the original appearance of his grandma's room, which was also a kind of concern.

It's just winter now, and he can't bear the cold. When December comes, and the kang is no longer used, he is really afraid that he will freeze to death.

Bai Yuehu said: "Let me come, which room?"

Lu Qingjiu wanted to decline, but Bai Yuehu said: "It's going to touch cold water."

Hearing the word cold water, Lu Qingjiu couldn't help shivering. Although there is a water heater at home, but because the weather is too cold, it is difficult to get the water temperature up, and the effect of using it is really mediocre.So now Lu Qingjiu is trying not to get water if he can...

"Okay, I'll trouble you then." Lu Qingjiu didn't force any more, "It's the room at the southeast corner."

Bai Yuehu nodded, went to get towels and broom, and went to clean the room.

Lu Qingjiu made glutinous rice balls with fermented glutinous rice in the kitchen. The glutinous glutinous rice balls and fermented glutinous glutinous rice balls were homemade. Lu Qingjiu boiled a large pot and beat five poached eggs in it, scooped two spoonfuls of brown sugar, Yin Xun and Bai Yuehu has two eggs per person, one is enough for him.

The snow outside was a bit heavy, and Yin Xun didn't open an umbrella when he came over, and there was a thin layer of snow on his head and shoulders.When he came in, he saw Bai Yuehu cleaning the house, and said, "Why do you suddenly want to clean the room?"

Lu Qingjiu explained that he was too cold and wanted to use a hot kang, Yin Xun heard and said: "Is there enough charcoal? It is estimated that the mountain will be closed next month, so charcoal is indispensable."

Lu Qingjiu said: "It doesn't seem to be enough, let's go to the town to buy some more."

Yin Xun said: "Okay."

Lu Qingjiu said: "Yuehu, come over for dinner."

A large pot of glutinous rice balls was shared among three people. The glutinous rice balls are made of glutinous rice. They are soft and sweet, and they are very filling. After Lu Qingjiu ate a small bowl, it was almost enough. He looked at the weather outside but was a little worried. It was a cold day. He has no desire to go out at all, wishing to curl up next to the stove every day.But if you want to burn a kang, the charcoal at home is definitely not enough, so you have to go to the town to buy some.

Probably because Lu Qingjiu's expression was too sad, Yin Xun rubbed his nose: "Otherwise I'll go, you'll be fine at home."

Lu Qingjiu said, "You know how to drive?"

"No." Yin Xun said, "But it doesn't matter if I don't know it. Anyway, the pickup truck can drive itself...just let it stop running on its own."

There is some truth in these words, but Lu Qingjiu is still a little uneasy, just when he was thinking that he should go with Yin Xun, Bai Yuehu who was beside him said, "I and Yin Xun Let's go together." He probably knew what Lu Qingjiu was worried about, and added, "I have a driver's license."

Lu Qingjiu was startled: "Really? You still have a driver's license?"

Bai Yuehu hummed.

Lu Qingjiu asked curiously: "When did you learn it? You don't have an ID card or household registration, do you?"

Bai Yuehu said: "Of course there is, otherwise I would be a black household." He said it so calmly that for a moment Lu Qingjiu felt that it made sense.

So in the end Lu Qingjiu didn't continue to tangle, and waved his big hand to let Bai Yuehu and Yin Xun go to the town to buy charcoal, but before leaving, Yin Xun hesitated to talk to Lu Qingjiu, Lu Qingjiu thought he was afraid of talking to Bai Yuehu Alone, just about to say a few words of comfort, but Yin Xun whispered, "Where is the... wine, the charcoal... Where's the money?"

Lu Qingjiu: "..." I'm sorry, he has forgotten that he controls the family's financial power, and his family's mountain god and fox spirit are so poor that they can't even afford Xiaolongbao...

Lu Qingjiu took out his own card, put it in Yin Xun's hand, and told him the password by the way.

Yin Xun held the card tightly in his hand, and told Lu Qingjiu that he would protect the card with his life, and even if he lost his own life, he would send the card back safely.

Lu Qingjiu: "...But aren't you already a dead person, where did you get your life?"

Yin Xun: "..." He was speechless.

Yin Xun and Bai Yuehu, who were holding cards, got into the pickup truck, and Lu Qingjiu watched them disappear across the village.This was the first time that Yin Xun and Bai Yuehu went to the town together, watching Lu Qingjiu they left, he had a complicated feeling of being a mother sending her son away from home.

While I am happy that my son has finally grown up, I am worried that my son will encounter some unsolvable difficulties.Suddenly remembered something again, Lu Qingjiu hurriedly called Yin Xun, and asked him to buy a mobile phone and a mobile phone card for Bai Yuehu while buying charcoal. Let's do it together, and Bai Yuehu is still there, so I can choose my favorite mobile phone.

Lu Qingjiu sent the two of them away, and returned to the house by himself. First, he added charcoal to the charcoal basin, and then put the cut sweet potato fries beside the charcoal basin, intending to roast them slowly.

After drying, the sweet potato fries will become full of toughness and can be chewed in the mouth for a long time. It is a good snack to pass the time.There are fewer things to do in winter. Most of the time, everyone is watching TV and surfing the Internet at home. Lu Qingjiu organized the Taobao store by the way. The goods for this month have been sent out, and we will have to rest for at least two months. , and wait until spring to reopen.

As soon as the announcement in the store came out, there was a lot of wailing on the Internet. The effect of the hair tonic in the "Xiaocun" store was obvious to all. There were almost no negative reviews, and many people even showed comparison photos of themselves before hair growth.However, although the effect of the hair tonic is very good, but the output is too small, only [-] bottles per month, and the boss will not increase the order after grabbing it. Everyone was trying their best to grab the hair tonic for next month, but Who knows that the boss didn't do it...

"Boss, please, I still expect to grow my hair and go back to blind dates during the Chinese New Year."

"Boss, please sell some more, I will rely on your hair tonic for a living."

"Boss, boss..."

Lu Qingjiu casually clicked on a few dialog boxes, and all he saw were comments like this. He was a little dumbfounded, but he still didn't continue to open the store. After all, he won't even be able to leave the village next month, so what is he going to deliver.

He simply turned off the chat software cruelly, and Lu Qingjiu didn't continue to watch it.

Yin Xun and Bai Yuehu went to the town, and Lu Qingjiu didn't bother to cook, so he took out instant noodles to make do with the meal.After he simply finished eating, he went to spread a thick quilt on his grandma's bed and heated up the kang.

After the kang was heated up, Lu Qingjiu couldn't wait to lie down, feeling the warm temperature in the bed, he let out a long and comfortable sigh.

The little fox cub also came over and nestled next to his head. Lu Qingjiu touched its little head and said, "Come on, let's take a nap together, and they will come back when they wake up."

The little fox licked Lu Qingjiu's fingers, his body coiled into a ball.

In the hot package, Lu Qingjiu fell into a deep sleep. He didn't have a good rest last night, and now he almost fell asleep on the pillow, until he vaguely heard Yin Xun's voice calling him: "Sake, sake, you Where is it? We're back."

Lu Qingjiu opened his eyes in a daze, and replied, "I'm here."

There was a creaking sound, as if someone pushed the door and entered, a pair of cold hands touched his forehead, Lu Qingjiu saw Bai Yuehu's face in a daze, and he said vaguely: "Yuehu... I'm so hot."

The author has something to say: Modified the reason why Yin Xun needs to go back and the two bugs where the sweet potatoes are stacked

Lu Qingjiu: It's so hot

Bai Yuehu: You seem to be familiar with it.

Lu Qingjiu: Huh?

Bai Yuehu: Now that it's cooked, it's ready to eat.

Lu Qingjiu: Hmm...
