Chapter 2186 The First Night

The blizzard lasted for a long time, and the cabin was trembling all the time. No matter day or night, the wind kept whistling. The snow still slapped the walls and roof, making a whoosh sound. Frost.

Sometimes, it is necessary to light oil lamps in the house during the day, otherwise the light is too dark.

Several of the dogs were allowed to stay inside, as they could suffer from frostbite if they were left outdoors in such cold weather.

Frostbite is a very troublesome problem in the poorly clothed cedar forest.

The food reserves of the old hunters are very sufficient, mainly all kinds of meat and fish.

Su Nian quickly took over the task of cooking.

In the cedar forest, there are also generous gifts of nature, that is matsutake and pine nuts.

When Su Nian saw the big and plump cedar nuts for the first time, she exclaimed happily. After cracking this thing, the kernels are full and the taste is sweet. It is a good thing to kill time.

Matsutake is a high-quality ingredient. In the high-end Michelin restaurant outside, this kind of thing has been fried to a gold price.

In the old hunter's cabin, matsutake is an extremely common ingredient.

The old hunter once hunted a deer in autumn. After Su Nian planed the venison clean, cut it into chestnut-sized pieces, and then put it into a soup pot to cook with matsutake.

It didn't take long for the soup pot to emit a tempting aroma. At this time, Su Nian asked for Chu Beichen's vodka and poured a little into the pot, but it was just a mouthful or two.

When this little spirit was put into the pot, it immediately acted as a catalyst, turning the original aroma of venison soup into a strong aroma.

"Oh... using wine like this does improve the taste of the soup, but it's too extravagant. Wine is so hard to come by. You can't waste precious wine just for a meal!" The old hunter protested seriously.

Su Nian smiled and promised that she would only use it this time.

Soon a thick venison and matsutake soup was ready, served with grilled fish.

The grilled fish does not add too many ingredients. After cleaning the deep-sea fish, apply a thin layer of fat, and then bake it directly in the oven.

When the grilled fish is almost cooked, put matsutake and other mushrooms in the oven, as well as some chopped rejuvenation, and sprinkle a pinch of salt after it comes out of the pan.

The old hunter found that although the cooking ingredients had not been changed, the taste of the food had improved qualitatively thanks to Su Nian's skillful handling.

Everyone ate the meal deliciously. After the meal, the pots and bowls were cleaned with water from the melted snow. The old hunter took the oil lamp and led the two of them to the attic.

There is an extremely low wooden bed on the attic. The wooden bed is not big, but it can accommodate two people to rest. The point is that the bed is next to the chimney of the fireplace.

The fireplace will not go out all night, and its heat is passed up through the chimney, which can ensure the warmth of those who rest in the attic.

"You sleep in the attic at night, and I sleep downstairs with the dog," said the old hunter, leaving the oil lamp behind, and went down.

The space in the attic is very small, the tall Chu Beichen always bumps into his head whenever he stands up to do something, no matter what he does.

Su Nian took care of all the work with a smile.

The small bed was covered with straw mats and a layer of bear skin, but it was soft and warm. Su Nian took out the thin blankets that she and Chu Beichen used, and made two into one to use as a quilt.

After arranging everything, the two of them lay on the simple wooden bed, which was considered warm.
