The daily garden of rebirth

Tang Qianhe moved out all the things in the storage room, and then cleaned the house thoroughly. Although he no longer lives in it, this room used to be the room for taking care of his father and mother. The storage room has to be cleaned up on New Year's Eve.

After cleaning the house, Tang Qianhe moved the things back and piled them in the corner, then washed the old clothes that the two children Gu Zhili and Gu Yule had replaced, and dragged out the quilts that they usually slept in to dry The sun, after doing this, stopped to rest.

After drinking water and resting for a while, Tang Qianhe stood up again and went to the vegetable garden next to the house to pick some fresh vegetables.

There are not many vegetables in this season, and the most are Chinese cabbage. The cabbage that has been frosted is very sweet, and Tang Qianhe uses the space water for irrigation, so it is bigger and tastes particularly good.

After picking the vegetables and tidying up the dining room and the stove, Tang Qianhe rubbed his hands together, trying to warm his cold fingers.

Looking up at the sky, he found that it was almost noon, and it was time to start preparing lunch, so Tang Qianhe thought about making a hot pot at noon. It just so happened that the weather was getting colder and colder, and it was time to stay outside for a while. The hands and feet will be cold, and there will be bursts of white mist. If you sit or stand still, it will not take long, and your whole body will freeze in less than a quarter of an hour. And the hot pot is hot, just eating in this weather good--

Because it is eaten while cooking, and there is a charcoal fire burning underneath, it will not take long to warm up the whole person, and it is also suitable for such a reunion festival.

What's more, Da Zhuang and Xiao Hua from Zhang Mei's family were also there, and there were just not too many people, and sitting around a table, it was lively enough to eat.

Thinking in this way, Tang Qianhe did what he said, and he took out the pot that he had asked others to make according to the template he drew when he went to the city before.

Below the pot that was made by people is a stove that can be used for burning fire, and on top is a pot that can be used for cooking vegetables. There is a chimney in the middle, and there are places to put food on both sides——

This was in the last life. He watched TV shows where the ancients used to eat hot pot. He thought that there should be such a pot in this world, but when he showed Jiang Zihan the blueprint and asked him, he was told that there was no such thing. Such a pot, so I went to the blacksmith shop to have someone make it.

Since the hot pot is going to be cooked, other side dishes are naturally indispensable, so Tang Qianhe went into the space, picked some fresh mushrooms from the space, and picked a few lemons, intending to use them for seasoning.

Tang Qianhe washed and cut the picked mushrooms, then washed the Chinese cabbage just picked, cut the lean meat into thin slices, washed and cut potatoes, fungus, day lily and many other ingredients, put them in Put it on a plate for later use, and finally he brought all these ingredients into the dining room and put them on the table——

After finishing these, Tang Qianhe washed the pot with clean water, then scooped out some big bone soup that had been stewed since last night, poured it into the pot, found charcoal, added some into it, and lit the fire. Put some food that is not easy to cook into the pot and let it cook first.

He was busy with his work, and Gu Zhaoyang, who went to the city to deliver fruit, came back. He first put down the things he brought back, then untied the cart from the cow, fed it some grass and water, and then carried the things he brought back into the city. the dining room.

Tang Qianhe raised his head when he heard the voice, saw that Gu Zhaoyang was back, and didn't listen to the work in hand, raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, and said, "I'm back, will you be tired?"

"Not tired." Gu Zhaoyang shook his head, then handed the things he brought to Tang Qianhe, and said, "Here, the beef you asked me to bring along with peppers and peppercorns, I just saw that there was pork, and the rest There were not many, so I bought them all by the way, and it happened that our house was about to disappear, and I didn’t know if those street vendors would come in the next few days, so I just bought them and put them away, anyway, it won’t be broken in this winter. "

Tang Qianhe smiled: "Well, Xiaoyang has worked hard for you, you go to rest for a while, you can eat soon, well, wait for Xiaoli and the others to come back."

Gu Zhaoyang nodded slightly, and sat down as promised.

The food cooked in the pot had already begun to boil, and the scent was radiating out, which made Gu Zhaoyang look away from Tang Qianhe, looking at the source of the scent, he sniffed the scent floating in the air, curiously Looking at the pot on the table, he turned his head and asked curiously: "Xiaoqian, you didn't ask someone to make this pot before. What are you cooking? Why are these dishes raw?"

"Yes." Tang Qianhe said: "This cooking method is called 'hot pot'. When you eat it later, you can choose your favorite things to put in and boil them, and then take them out to eat after they are cooked. This way of eating is very delicious. It is suitable for the current weather, and after eating, my whole body is warm and very warm."

"Oh." Gu Zhaoyang heard this way of eating for the first time, and found it very novel, so he kept staring at the pot curiously, without blinking, as if he was studying something.

Tang Qianhe looked at Gu Zhaoyang's rare appearance of showing his heart, smiled dotingly, and then went out with a small plate, preparing to mix some dipping ingredients, otherwise eating dry like this would actually be like boiled vegetables. It smells good, but the taste is too light.

He worried that several children would feel uncomfortable.

After a while, the children who had gone out to herd cattle came back. Gu Yule nestled in Da Zhuang's arms, holding a small wooden stick in his hand and bending over to play happily by himself. He looked very clean.

As soon as he looked up, he saw his favorite big brother standing not far away, so he discarded the wooden stick he was playing with just now, threw it on the ground, and then stretched out his hand towards Tang Qianhe, looking Like to hug.

Seeing Tang Qianhe, he took a few steps forward, took Gu Yule over, lowered his head and kissed him on the cheek, then raised his eyes to look at the three children standing in front of him, and carefully looked at the three children who were even a little scared. , raised their eyebrows, and found that their faces were more or less gray, just like three little tabby cats.

However, children of this age love to play, so Tang Qianhe just shook his head slightly, and said nothing else.

"I just came back. Lunch is ready. Why are you all playing like little cats? Go and wash your face and hands, and then come and eat." Tang Qianhe added, pinching the chubby face of the little baby in his arms. Said: "It's cold today, let's eat hot pot."

"What is hot pot?" Hearing that Tang Qianhe didn't mention them, Gu Zhili became more courageous. He raised his head with a curious expression on his face, and so did Da Zhuang and Xiao Hua, with bright eyes and puzzled faces.

Tang Qianhe organized the language, and then said: "It's just a way to eat. It's the best to eat this season, and it's warm."

Hearing this, Gu Zhili nodded half-understood, and then asked in a crisp voice, "Is there any boiled pork slices?" He likes to eat boiled pork slices the most, although his mouth will go numb after eating, but It can be served with several bowls of white rice every time.

——Well, of course, the other dishes made by the big brother are also delicious, and he likes them very much.

Hearing Gu Zhaoyang's words, Tang Qianhe felt a little helpless, and put out one hand to touch the child's head, with a smile in his eyes, he said: "Well, it should be similar, each has its own characteristics, Xiaoli will try it out later. knew."

Da Zhuang was the happiest when he heard that there was something delicious, he felt like he could smell the fragrance in the air, and his stomach was about to growl when he was so hungry.

"Little Li, let's wash our hands quickly, my stomach is so hungry."

After Da Zhuang finished speaking, he laughed a few times, and then took the initiative to play the role of the king of children, leading Gu Zhili and Xiao Hua to the well, went to fetch water by himself, and washed himself and the two children.

The way of eating hot pot is still very novel to a few children. At the beginning, everyone was careful. When putting the dishes in the pot, they always had to wait for a long time before taking them out to eat, and there was no competition. , It is also very slow to eat, and because it has been cooked for too long, it is always a bit old, but it is still delicious with the dipping sauce prepared by Tang Qianhe.

All the way to the back, probably mastered the way of eating, so the children speeded up, and after a few strokes, the Chinese cabbage or radish just put down was gone, and so were the vermicelli. Not long after, the next one wanted to scoop it up. When I got up, I found that there was no one left.

After Gu Zhili failed to get anything again, he turned his head and stared angrily at his brother who was slow-moving, and complained: "Brother, I obviously put down that lean meat, and I haven't eaten a bite yet."

Gu Zhaoyang put the meat that took up the sauce into Tang Qianhe's bowl, squinted his eyes at Gu Zhili, and said slowly, "Who told you not to pick it up, I kept it there for a long time."

Gu Zhili: "..." I was really angry when I found out that I couldn't refute anything!

After hitting a snag from my elder brother, Gu Zhili's speed became much faster after that. Every time he put down the food, he was always the first to take it out. Tang Qianhe stopped him several times because it was not yet cooked——

Tang Qianhe looked at several children staring at each other, saying "this is what I let, this is what I let" in their mouths, and their eyes turned into crescent moons.

He smiled at Gu Zhaoyang who was on the side, and then slowly ate the meat that the other party had pinched for him, and squinted his eyes in satisfaction.

In the last life until his death, in his memory, the number of times such big guys eat hot pot together is very seldom, because only he and his grandfather are willing to eat like this in the family, and his mother and younger brothers and sisters hate it. This way of eating is very unhygienic, so they ate it very rarely, and at this moment, Tang Qianhe enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by everyone.

——This is the feeling of home, warm and happy.

Four or five and a half-year-old children are eating hot pot. I will grab yours, and you will fight for mine.

But everyone is very excited.

After the hot pot was finished, Tang Qianhe prepared another bowl of eight-treasure porridge for them. The portion was small, not much, about five or six mouthfuls, and it was purely for dessert.

Gu Yule likes this porridge the most, it's sweet, soft and glutinous, and very fragrant, so he squinted his eyes, nestled in Tang Qianhe's arms, opened his mouth and waited for the feeding, and then swallowed it mouthful, Very happy.

After eating this lunch for a full hour, Gu Zhili and Da Zhuang's stomachs were even more bulging. The way they ate before was that they were going to eat until they couldn't put anything in before they would stop—

Although Xiaohua was shy and kept silent all the time, she didn't eat less, and now she was paralyzed in the position with her brother, motionless, her face was flushed, and she looked at Tang Qianhe with bright eyes.

She really likes Mr., not only good-looking, but also teaching them how to read, and even cooking is delicious. She decided that when she grows up, she must marry a boy like Mr. Wang.

——Little Xiaohua has set such a goal in her heart.

After eating and drinking enough, Gu Yule, who was a child, started to feel sleepy. Right now, he was yawning a little, his little eyes narrowed, very cute.

Tang Qianhe hugged the child in his arms and sang songs in a low voice, coaxing him to sleep with a very gentle profile.

Gu Zhaoyang rested his chin with one hand, and stared at Tang Qianhe without blinking, his eyes could not hide his emotion.

The sunshine outside the house is just right, even in the cold winter, in this house, it will not feel cold and full of warmth.
