Plane Mall: I became a group favorite by hoarding goods

Chapter 18 18. The Snowstorm Is Coming
"I swear, I will never look down on ribs again."

After a gust of wind swept away, Qin Zheng supported his stomach and spread it out on the wooden chair of the Shen family, hiccupping.

The six dishes on the table were all eaten, even the soup of the braised pork was not spared, and three bowls of rice in the pot were eaten by him.

Shen Xingluo stared at the scene in front of him and fell silent. His bowls and chopsticks had never been so shining.
"The pork bones are meatless and ugly. How can they be so delicious?"

Qin Zheng pouted, thinking about it, as for the upbringing of the Qin family over the years—is that a magical horse?Nothing matters in front of food!
"Xing Luo, sister-in-law is really not a descendant of the imperial chef?"

"You have also eaten delicious food in the world, but do you know which imperial chef can make the same taste?"

"Too."

That's even more strange!

Qin Zheng couldn't figure it out, Qin Zheng didn't understand.

But the biggest advantage of this baby is that she can see it seriously, and she quickly forgets it when she doesn't get an answer.

"You said you lived well in Fucheng, why did you move to the countryside?"

"Clean."

"."

Qin Zheng was successfully choked by these two words, and his eyes lingered on his friend's side face for a long time.

"Don't worry, leave this matter to me. With my connections in the Qin family, can't I find a miracle doctor who can remove the scars?"

Shen Xingluo glanced at him lightly, "Can you represent the Qin family?"

".Hey, can you speak well, no matter what, I have money that I can't spend in my life!"

There must be a brave man under the reward, do you understand?
After this classmate became disabled, his temper became even worse than before, and every word he said was designed to poke people's hearts.

Even though Shen Xingluo was difficult to get along with, Qin Zheng still didn't intend to leave, and dragged on until the sun went down before getting on his luxurious mount.

"Can I come here often in the future?"

"."

The corners of Shen Xingluo's mouth twitched when he met the reluctant look in the eyes of the previous big man.

"The old man in the village said that there may be a snowstorm this year. Remember to prepare more food when you go back, so as not to starve to death."

"My Qin family has a grain shop, don't worry."

"Then take it to the mansion."

"Are you serious?"

"Listen to you or not."

In his previous life, he only learned about Qin Zheng later.

When the snowstorm came, the people in Lin'an Mansion were hungry and robbed many grain shops, and the Qin family, as an imperial merchant, was not spared.

The gangsters sneaked into the Qin residence at night and were burnt to the ground, while Qin Zheng had a whim that day and escaped by playing in the snow, becoming the only survivor of the Qin family's third room.

I have to say, this idiot is a bit lucky.

"Listen to you, when I get home, I will tell the shopkeeper to bring more rice noodles."

The Qin family's carriage quickly disappeared into Shenjia Village. Under the fiery red sunset, the impersonal carriage shone brightly, and someone inside the carriage faintly exclaimed.

Shen Xingluo: "."

***
After a few days of busy work, the infrastructure construction of the Shen family courtyard was completed.

The kangs in the three bedrooms have been dried, and it can be heated up quickly by putting firewood in the stove.

An iron stove was also installed in the living room in the middle. Cheng Xi dug a round hole in the north wall to connect the iron pipe with his natural power, and there was no smell of smoke in the room.

All paper windows in the north house are sealed with a layer. In addition, simple sliding windows are made of wooden boards. Once the windows are broken, they can be closed at any time to prevent wind and snow.

The cellar in the yard is full of vegetables to last them all year.

The red bricks used in the construction of the chicken and duck coops are covered with a thick layer of sun-dried straw, and the chickens and ducks inside are called on time every morning.

In the cellar under the wooden planks of the kitchen, five thousand catties of grain were neatly placed, and under the chopping board there were two hundred catties of rice noodles that Cheng Xi had bought one after another in recent days.

The earthen wall outside the small courtyard was raised to two and a half meters, and ordinary people could not see the inside from the outside at all. The top of the wall was tied with a layer of chopstick-thick iron wire, and they could only see clearly when they got close.

This small farmyard, which is not too big, has become an iron wall, which can be said to be armed to the teeth.

Inside the North House.

Shen Xingluo opened the iron furnace door with an iron hook and added a few pieces of charcoal, and the thinner part of the iron skin was burned red.

"It's so warm~"

Shen Xingqi stared at Tie Kian for a long time, but still couldn't hide the surprise in her eyes.

"In the past, I was shivering in the cold during the winter, and my house has never been so warm!"

Look at what everyone is wearing now?
The dress that I often wear when I go out in spring!

And now she can feel sweat whenever she moves, and the house is actually warmer than spring!
"Sister-in-law, this iron stove is much more useful than a brazier. How did you come up with it?"

Putting charcoal on the brazier can indeed keep out the cold, but the windows must be kept open to keep the ventilation in the house, so that if it is hot here, the cold wind will be blown to doubt life.

Where is it like now, the whole body exudes warmth.

At this moment, Shen Xingqi fell in love with winter thoroughly.

"Just use your brain."

Cheng Xi by the window took back the thermometer calmly, it was minus 8 degrees.

"People come up with solutions."

"To solve a problem, we must first discover the problem, and then analyze it in all aspects, list all the possibilities and remove a few impossible ones, find the key point and make bold assumptions, and finally verify them one by one, and the problem will be solved."

"."

Shen Xingqi looked confused.

Cheng Xi patted her on the head, "For example, when you see the brazier, don't you wonder if it can provide heat but still make you feel cold?"

"But that's how everyone came here?"

"."

It was she who lost.

The influence of feudal ideology is deeply ingrained, and it cannot be overcome in a short while.

Shen Xingluo, who had been silent all this time, gave her a sharp look, then lowered his eyes to hide his deep thought.

Her way of thinking has come into its own.

Seemingly simple, but full of endless wisdom, just a few words can be applied to everything, from going down to the brazier to solving problems in the court, it all boils down to her one sentence.

In fact, what the world lacks is not the brain to solve the problem, but the eyes to discover the problem.

Just like Xingqi now.

"Boom!"

"Is Xingluo there?!"

Someone knocked on the gate of the yard, breaking the meditation and conversation of the three of them.

Shen Xingluo put on a thick cotton coat and pushed the door out. The north wind outside was icy cold, shaving his face like a knife.

He opened the door, and a familiar figure appeared at the door.

"Uncle Shuanzi?"

The person who came was a carpenter from the village, and he smiled when he saw Shen Xingluo with a few wooden things.

"Xing Luo, I'm here to deliver something to your house."

Cheng Xi followed after hearing the voice.

"Uncle Shuanzi, is the wooden trough ready?"

"Ah yes, this was delivered right after it was finished. Oh, why did it start to snow?"

The two looked up at the sky, and the snowflakes fell in large flakes, and the drops quickly melted on their faces.

Shen Xingluo and Cheng Xi looked at each other with solemn eyes.

The snowstorm is coming.
