Five cubs at the beginning: the vicious stepmother turns over and becomes a group favorite

"Sanggong, your throat is starting to feel uncomfortable just now in winter?"

Mu Daiyao turned her head and glanced at Ji Zhixu, there was a clear sense of doubt in her eyes, and she couldn't see her drunk appearance last night.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Being asked such a question, Ji Zhixu coughed even more heart-piercingly, so frightened that Mu Daiyao quickly poured him a cup of hot tea, for fear that his boss would just cough it up.

"However, the snow has been falling all night, and it has only become smaller now. It seems that this winter will be very cold."

"When I come back at night, I will light up the brazier, and the room will be warmer."

In previous winters, Ji Zhixu and his children survived in this way, so when Mu Daiyao mentioned this, he said it calmly.

"Just burning the brazier will still be cold."

Mu Daiyao frowned. Although she didn't feel cold now, once she thought of the days when she was reborn and hadn't lived in the general's mansion, her hands and feet were cold and her knees ached in the winter, she subconsciously He tightly gathered his outer clothes.

Even though the general's mansion was covered with earth dragons later, and there were many servants waiting to lay felt blankets on the floor of the house and put a brazier on it, Mu Daiyao's joints of hands and feet had already been frozen to death by then. , From time to time, you will feel extremely stiff.

Thinking of this, Mu Daiyao will no longer be as stupid as before, she just opened her eyes to Ji Zhixu and said nonsense: "Master, I didn't tell you before, in fact, I had a serious illness when I was young. From then on, my body bones will always be very fragile, and I can't be cold or hot, so besides burning the brazier, we still have to find a way to keep warm."

"Otherwise there will be something wrong with the freezing, and the doctor may spend more silver taels."

"Yao Niang, if you really need to see a doctor for something, that's a normal expense, and you don't need to feel like you're wasting money every time."

Hearing this, Ji Zhixu frowned slightly in disapproval, and after correcting Mu Daiyao, he continued to explain: "In the past, there was no woman in the family, only me and a few children, it is true that I am rough Noticing this, coupled with the cold weather in winter, Zhiqiu was unwilling to come and walk around, so he burned a brazier at home and endured the winter."

Hearing this, Mu Daiyao was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "But isn't Tongtong the most afraid of the cold?"

Although she didn't pay much attention to Ji Letong before rebirth, she also noticed that every winter Ji Letong and Ji Xiujing stayed indoors and didn't want to come out to move, which showed that they were also very afraid of the cold.

"I set a brazier for them in their room alone." Ji Zhixu didn't think it was a big problem. He lowered his head and took another sip of hot tea, moistened his throat, and said indifferently: "Besides, they also Never complained to me about the cold."

Hearing this, Mu Daiyao couldn't help muttering in her heart, "You don't even think about why you don't complain to you. It's not because you know that complaining is useless."

Whispering, murmuring, Mu Daiyao will not treat herself badly because of this, no one can understand what it feels like to be frostbitten to the bones better than her.

Moreover, furs on the tile market are very expensive, especially when winter is approaching, it is even more exaggerated.

It was also she who neglected this point and didn't buy some and store them back when the price was acceptable.

But Mu Daiyao thought about it again, and her eyes fell on Ji Zhixu lightly with some pity.

In the past, when winter was approaching, Ji Zhixu would go into the mountains to hunt more prey. In addition to hoarding meat, the thicker fur of wild animals would also sell some more silver than usual.

It's just that this guy doesn't know what's going on recently, and has reduced the number of times he went into the mountain. It's snowing now, and the way into the mountain must be blocked, and it's even more impossible to get fur by this way.

Forget it, it's useless to think too much, the most important thing now is how to solve the problem of the freezing weather.

"It seems that we can only find a time to find a craftsman to come to the house to see if we can make a kang. If we are sure to use a kang, some parts of the house will have to be demolished, and suitable places will have to be rebuilt, and the amount of firewood will be consumed by then. It will also increase a lot, but you don’t need to worry about firewood, there are firewood in the forest behind you can pick it up at any time.”

Mu Daiyao was lost in thought, she wrung her fingers and said to herself, feeling that these things happened one after another, she was so worried that she couldn't help but take a deep breath.

In the next second, she felt that her chest was full of cold air blowing in from the outside, and she quickly stopped her stupid behavior.

Although her voice was not too loud, Ji Zhixu who was sitting at the side still heard it. He thought about it, and responded to her words seriously.

"Since you have decided to make a kang, don't delay it. The days to come will only get colder and colder. Maybe one day it will be so cold that no craftsman will be willing to go out to work."

Mu Daiyao raised her eyes to look at Ji Zhixu, with confusion in her eyes that she hadn't completely gotten out of her thoughts: "I remember there are craftsmen in the village, I wonder if it can..."

"No."

Ji Zhixu shook his head directly, and before Mu Daiyao asked the reason, he explained to himself: "Because no one in the village has done this kind of thing before, I only knew about it after reading it in a book. What's the matter with Kang, if you really want to make it, you have to go to the town to see if there is any craftsman who can take this job."

The two pondered for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion that the room can be heated.

It is a question of what style to make and how to make it.

At that time, there must be a place to sleep in the house, and a place to eat outside the house, Mu Daiyao said while Ji Zhixu had already gone to get a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote everything she said in detail on paper.

"OK, then today I will open a shop for half a day, and spend the rest of the day looking for artisans in the town."

"No, I'll do it after I've done it," Ji Zhixu quickly brushed over the thoughts written on the paper, and when the ink on the paper was dry, he put it away and put it away properly. In her arms, she said in a calm tone: "Yao Niang just needs to take care of the business in the shop."

"Leave it to you? Can you?"

Mu Daiyao froze for a moment, and asked subconsciously.

She knew that Ji Zhixu's hands were very dexterous, but it was not something like pankang that could be done with dexterity.

"Yes, if I can't find a suitable craftsman, I will find that ancient book, and I can always try to make it according to the label on it."

Ji Zhixu is not worried about his handicraft.

"Ah."

Hearing this, Mu Daiyao nodded her head, as if she had handed over this matter to Ji Zhixu.
