Chapter 193 At the end of the year, the winter solstice arrives
"Not enough for one thousand?"

Shi Miao raised her eyebrows, then calmly returned to the room.

"If it's not enough, it's not enough. I'll go out to dig rocks tomorrow. I'm a little tired today, so I don't want to go out."

Walking into the room without hesitation, Shi Miao's expression was very calm.

It is true that she has spent a lot of points in the past few days, so she naturally has a lot of them.

It's just that when it's cold, people tend to get sleepy, especially after not going out for a few days, they become more lazy, and like to nest in the room and chat and eat and drink.

It's just that, if there is a bottle of strong wine at this time, it would be great to have a few drinks, how leisurely it would be.

"Good host."

Neptune also has eyesight, and didn't say anything more after all.

Although there are not many points in Shimiao's place now, but in the absence of other needs, the points she spends now are generally not many, so it doesn't have a big impact on her.

Thinking of the plum blossom tree, Shi Miao looked at the low-level spiritual plant she had planted in the vase.

Compared with the growth of the plum blossom tree, this spiritual plant is far behind by a thousand miles, and now it is only about to grow small green seedlings about a finger long, just below the edge of the vase.

"Sea King, this Lingzhi...why doesn't it look special?"

It looks almost the same as the weeds in the wild.

"Hehehe, master... This is the special feature of Lingzhi. Lingzhi looks very ordinary in the early growth stage, so it is a test of everyone's eyesight to be discovered. Only when the later stage matures, Lingzhi will change, and you will be able to see the difference."

The Neptune looked at the unremarkable seedling in front of him and slowly opened his mouth.

This is also impossible. There is not much spiritual energy in this world, and it is already good for spiritual plants to grow. Naturally, the growth of plants is incomparable with places with high concentration of spiritual energy.

"Okay~"

Shi Miao nodded lightly.

Two minutes later, the door was suddenly pushed open, and the ground-boring rabbits who were looking for food outside came bouncing in.

"Ding ding ~ hiccup ~"

Hare habitually jumped into Shi Miao's arms first, and this time, Shi Miao saw a piece of grain that was probably slightly smaller than a green bean at the corner of its mouth.

"This is……"

Before Shi Miao was sure what it was, the Neptune answered first: "Master, it's a diamond."

"diamond?"

Shi Miao's eyes paused again for an instant, and then he carefully looked at the diamond in his hand.

This diamond is translucent all over, with a shiny luster. It seems that it can be the same size as the diamond on the diamond ring on the woman's hand in the memory of the original body.

"Yes master, this diamond looks okay, you can exchange it for [-] points, master, do you want to change it?"

Neptune carefully detected the quality of the diamond, then said slowly.

"Change it."

Such a small amount can be exchanged for [-] points, which is very worthwhile.

Shi Miao didn't hesitate at all.

In this world, she has no plans to get married, and she naturally has no use for this diamond. It is much more cost-effective to exchange points for some practical things than this small diamond.

After being ruaed by Shi Miao for a few minutes, probably because he was full and tired from eating, the rabbit slid down from Shi Miao's arms, jumped onto the kang and lay on it, tossed and turned lazily for a while, then lay on the spot I fell asleep.

……

In a blink of an eye, it is the end of the year.

The temperature dropped completely, and the lowest temperature at night even reached minus [-] degrees. After several snowfalls, the temperature during the day was not enough to melt the snow. There is a thick layer of ice, and many trees around are covered with ice thorns. It looks beautiful, but beautiful and lonely.

The whole world has completely turned into a country of ice and snow.

"Huh~ It's so cold~"

Walking into the upper room from the outside, Gu Tianjiao couldn't help shivering twice, and after closing the door, she hurried to the stove to warm up.

Because it was too cold, the head of the water pipe in the yard froze, so she had to pour a pot of boiling water for a long time, and only after the ice in the pipe head had almost melted did she get out the ice and put it in the water. We filled several tanks with water with wooden barrels.

"It's quite cold, cook more."

Liu Ailing looked at Gu Tianjiao wearing a fur jacket and her legs were wrapped in bloated cotton trousers but she was still trembling and said.

These days, everyone takes turns to fetch water, so every two days someone will shiver holding the stove after fetching water.

"However, it's good to be cold, so it looks like a winter."

Rubbing her hands together, Gu Tianjiao couldn't help but smile.

"If today is counted according to the days of Shui Lanxing, it will be considered the winter solstice. Let's make dumplings for everyone at noon today."

Thinking about the time, Liu Ailing's eyes were full of smiles.

Time flies so fast. In a flash, I have been here for half a year. Now that my daughter is here, she is getting more and more comfortable.

"Okay! We haven't eaten dumplings for several days, and we're so hungry!"

Gu Tianjiao immediately became excited again when she heard the dumplings, and her face, which was already flushed from the cold outside, became even redder at this moment.

"Call the carambola next door and the others to eat together. After all, it's a big day, and everyone can celebrate together."

After thinking for a while, Shi Miao slowly opened her mouth and said.

The winter solstice can be regarded as a special day, and they are not short of food. It is still satisfying to take everyone to eat dumplings.

"Well, that's fine. It's the end of the year, and there are only so many people here, so it's good for everyone to be lively together."

Liu Ailing nodded and did not object.

She still likes the two sisters of Carambola.

When they came over occasionally, she would entertain the two sisters with something to eat.

"Today's dumpling wrappers should be wrapped with muddy meat. Our flour should be eaten more compactly. After all, there are still two or three months before the winter will be completely over, and it will take a long time to grow wheat. The pasta still needs to be made of meat." What we can eat ourselves is the main thing.”

After thinking about the few bags of flour left in the warehouse, Shi Miao suggested again.

Making dumpling wrappers with meat is a luxury, but it’s okay for them. After the pond freezes, it’s easier to catch fish. Knock a hole in the top, set a trap to catch fish, and you can get back three or four fish every time. Using fish meat as dumpling skin is simply not very suitable.

But this flour, once you eat it, you will lose it once. No matter how delicious the vegetables and meat are, they are not the staple food after all.

She'd go crazy if she didn't have pasta for a long time.

"That's a good idea! How about...invite Lu Yang and his mother and son over?"

After thinking about it, there is still a miserable Lu Yang with her own mother who is lagging behind, Liu Ailing sighed softly.

　Good night, everyone~
　　Thank you for your votes, have a good dream~
