Rebirth of the pastoral landlady

Chapter 86 The First Snow
Chapter 86 The First Snow
Judging from the feedback from shopkeeper Zhang and the others, as well as the book records in the shop, it can be seen that the daily necessities made by Jin Xi are favored by customers.Although the price is not high, but small profits but high sales, best-selling, regular sales, in just a few days, the batch of brushes sent by Jinxi and the others were all sold out.

Liang Yuzhong made another large batch and sent them to the shop. The hot sales of this kind of goods also drove up the transaction volume of other products in the shop.

In a blink of an eye, the time has come to the end of November in the lunar calendar, and there will be heavy snow in two days. After the heavy snow, the winter solstice is coming soon.The first batch of winter tea must be picked before the winter solstice for the tea leaves in the back mountain tea garden.Liang Yuzhong wanted to help Jinxi make goods, so for the past few days, the Sun family, Sun Yuxia, and Sun Dahu mostly stayed in the back mountain tea garden.

The north wind has been blowing all day, and the dust on the dirt road is all over the sky.The sky was gray, like the bottom of a pot turned upside down, as if it would be completely pressed down at any moment.

While cooking lunch, there was a crackling sound from the rubble on the roof.

"Isn't it going to snow?" Sun Yuxia put a bowl of fried vegetables in the inner pot to keep warm, and said to herself.

"I'll go outside and have a look!" Jin Xi put down the fire stick and walked out of the kitchen, while Ga Po was holding a bamboo hat towards the entrance of the courtyard.

Outside the low wall, there was the laughter of children.It was Jinrou and a few little playmates from the same village, who were singing mountain village nursery rhymes excitedly under the old maple tree outside the yard.

"Snow seeds, snowflakes, my brother's wife is married. I can accept shoes, embroider, and make cakes. My brother is smiling happily!"

Jin Xi leans against the door frame of the kitchen, with a smile in her eyes, she sang this song when she was a child in her previous life, and the place where she lives doesn't snow much.Every year when it snows, I get so excited.

"I'm still making cakes. This Xuezi is as big as a mung bean. How many of you are still going home and waiting for the bag on your head?" Ga Po smiled to scare the children, and put the bamboo hat on Jinrou's little head , took her back to the yard.

"Xi'er, did your parents bring coir raincoats and bamboo hats when they left for the tea garden?" When passing by the door of the kitchen, Granny looked up at the dark sky and asked Jin Xi.

"I brought them all, and I also brought some water and rice. My mother also said that if the snow doesn't stop today, they won't come back. They won't come back until the snow stops tomorrow."

In order to manage the several acres of tea garden on the back mountain more conveniently, Liang Yuzhong and Sun Dahu chose a flat place sheltered from the wind beside the tea garden, and built two simple wooden houses with thick felt grass on the roof.

In the back room there is a simple plank bed and a living brazier, and a small earthen stove is set up in the next room, and some simple daily necessities are prepared.

"Oh, it's good if you bring it!" Ga Po was relieved when she heard this.

"Sister, it's snowing seeds today, what's for lunch?" Jinrou sniffed when she smelled the scent coming from the kitchen.

"You little greedy cat, you only want to eat, and snow seeds have nothing to do with adding vegetables!" Sun Yuxia rushed.

"Auntie, Da Niu told me that the first snowfall should be eaten well!" Jin Ju said.

"As soon as I heard this, Da Niu said it. Da Niu just wants to eat, and he looks like a little piggy and can't move! Rou'er also wants to be a fat girl? That's not good, little girl The food at home is too fat, no one wants it when I grow up!" Sun Yuxia deliberately frightened Jinrou.

Although Jinrou is only seven years old, she is a very beautiful girl. Hearing what Sun Yuxia said, her brows were raised, her face was wrinkled, and she stared at Sun Yuxia.

Sun Yuxia was taken aback for a moment, and then became even happier: "You little brat, why are you staring at me? Did I say something wrong?"

Ga Po smiled helplessly, and also glanced at Sun Yuxia, took Jinrou's hand, and said in his mouth brokenly: "My little ancestor, it's so cold that his hands are frozen, hurry up and go back to Ga Po house, let’s sit in the warm barrel and dry it well.”

Jin Rou is still rolling her eyes, reluctant to leave the stove, Jin Xi smiles and pinches her little face: "I'll serve it to the table later, don't you just see it? Hurry up into the room and warm up the fire for a while. Put the chopsticks on the chopsticks and start eating, ah!" With the improvement of life in the past two months, Jin Rou's face has become rounder, and it feels fleshy when pinched.

"Well, okay!" Jin Rou replied, and Ga Po led her to the main room cheerfully, swinging her little croissant.

"Yo, I'd better kiss you. Listen to you. I'm useless as an aunt! The bigger the little thing, the worse it is!" Sun Yuxia couldn't help laughing and said with a smile, looking at Jinrou's back. It's all pampering.

Jin Xi smiled: "Rou'er is bad, she also learned from my aunt!"

"Hey, a little girl bullies me, and you, a big girl, do the same. Oh, it's a hard life for me to be your aunt!"

"Yes, your life here is hard, so hurry up and get married. Uncle Dahu listens to you and doesn't dare to breathe!" Jin Xi is close to Sun Yuxia, and she speaks very casually, even though she is an aunt , but Sun Yuxia is only seven or eight years older than Jinxi. Her straightforward and pungent personality suits Jinxi's taste very well. When they are together, they always talk, laugh and make fun of each other.

"Okay, you bad girl, you made fun of me again with this matter, don't get too complacent, I'll tell my eldest sister later, I'll find you a husband's house after the new year, and I'll settle it first, when the time comes See how I can make fun of you!" Thinking of getting married on the sixth day of the first lunar month, Sun Yuxia immediately blushed, and glared at Jin Xi with her hips crossed and her cheeks puffed out.

Jin Xi immediately relented: "Good aunt, dear aunt, don't be angry anymore, you go and sit by the door of the stove, and I'll make the next dishes, you always take a rest..."

In this kind of weather, there are basically no pedestrians outside, and the work on the hillside is also leisurely. Every family is sleeping at home, and the doors and windows are closed.

This kind of weather is the most suitable for a family to get together, gather around hot dishes and meals, and have a full meal.Get some snacks after dinner, sit in the warm bucket and talk about some homely gossip.

When Jin Xi put the last dish out of the pot, outside the door, thin snowflakes were blown obliquely by the north wind and fell, the ground already had a layer of light white.

This is the first snow that Jin Xi caught up with after coming to this world.

"Hey, the snow came late this year, but it's finally here!" Sun Yuxia walked to the door, looked at the snowflakes flying outside, and said, "Look at the situation, the snow is going to get bigger and bigger, you Parents are afraid that they will stay in the tea garden for the night."

Jin Xi nodded, she thought so too.

There is nothing missing in the small wooden house over the tea garden.Jin Xi couldn't help imagining the scene of Liang Yuzhong and his wife staying in the small wooden house, the snow was falling heavily outside, and there was no one on the mountain road.In the cabin, the charcoal fire in the brazier was crackling, and the warm atmosphere permeated the room.

Far away from the oppression of the Liang family, and without children quarreling in front of him, let alone thinking about those trivial matters, after coming to Sunjiagou, he has never lived in the same house.It's snowing heavily outside, and the world inside the house is just the two of them. It's hard to be clean and alone. It's really God's special gift to this loving couple, right?

They are in their prime of life, and their relationship has always been so good. The charcoal fire in the brazier is crackling, and the bedding on the bed is soft and warm. If there is no accident, this couple should also have a firewood...

If you are lucky enough, maybe you can create a little brother or sister, that would be even better!

"Xi'er, why are you laughing at that thief? I called you several times, but I didn't see your response!" The colorful fantasies in front of Jin Xi's eyes were shattered by Sun Yuxia's sudden shout.

"Oh, no, it's nothing! What did my aunt call me for?" Jin Xi quickly covered the embarrassment in her eyes and asked.

Sun Yuxia stared at Jinxi inexplicably, and handed her the hot chopsticks: "Set the chopsticks and serve!"

Jin Xi took the chopsticks and fled the kitchen as if flying away.

Under Jinrou's expectant and surprised eyes, Sun Yuxia took the wooden tray and transported the vegetables in the pot to the table in the main room at one time.

Hot and spicy pork belly with white radish, stir-fried vegetables with green onions and dried mushrooms, deep-fried small river fish that are golden on both sides and tender on the outside and tender on the inside, savory chopped green onion and egg soup.

Because Ga Po's stomach is a bit dry these days, Jin Xi also specially made a dish of cold dishes: sliced ​​preserved eggs sawed on a wire, dripped with a few drops of pure fragrant sesame oil.

In addition, because of the snow, Jin Xi had a whim, scooped up half a bowl of glutinous rice flour, mixed it with water and sugar, kneaded it into fist-sized glutinous rice balls, rolled them in black sesame seeds, and fried the black sesame balls in a pan Charred on the outside and tender on the inside.This dish is considered a dessert, made for the first snowfall this year.

Sun Yuxia brought the main food again, which were four bowls of white rice piled high. According to Jinxi and Sun Yuxia's teeth, they naturally liked the strength of the grains, but considering that Ga Po was getting old, Jin Rou I just started to change my teeth, and the rice is cooked soft and fluffy, but the nutrition contained in the rice soup should not be underestimated.

Jin Xi drank a bowl of thick rice soup like this for every meal, and she found that her skin and hair had improved a lot compared to when she first came here.

"Yuxia, my mother and I are the only ones at home this noon, and your sister and brother-in-law are not here. How can we cook so many dishes?" Granny looked at the table full of meals, and the old man's frugal habits came out again.

"And this rice, I eat it purely like this, without adding any beans and sweet potatoes, thanks! I eat white rice every meal, it's not easy for Xi'er and the others to open a shop and save money!" Mrs. Sun looked at the pile of rice in front of her. I had to eat white rice like a hill, and I was so distressed that I didn't take the chopsticks.

"Mother, don't rush to scold me when you come here. I think the same way as you. Xi'er insisted on doing this. If you don't believe me, ask her!" Sun Yuxia helped Jinrou pick the thorns from the small river fish , Side Road.

Jin Rou rolled her eyes, she clearly wanted to eat fish and meat, but when she heard what Ga Po said, she put down her chopsticks sensiblely, and looked at her sister with big eyes blinking, because Ga Po was also watching With Jin Xi.

Gapo's eyes were filled with relief, distress and blame, it was very complicated.

Jin Xi naturally knew what Ga Po was thinking, and said with a smile: "Ga Po, why do we work so hard to earn money? Isn't it just to eat, drink, dress well, and live a prosperous life? You taught me We are frugal, and we never forget that although the business of the shop is booming and we have made some money, we have never been extravagant and squandered, and the things on the table are all necessary for life!"

As she said that, Jin Xi smiled again and picked a piece of pork belly and put it in Ga Po's bowl, and specially made the meat stick to the rice grains in Ga Po's bowl.

Gapo was reluctant to eat meat, so she put the meat back and kept it for the children to eat.Jin Xi rolled the meat on the rice grains, so Ga Po would have no reason to put the meat back. This is the countermeasure that Jin Xi has explored through practice again and again.

"Gapo, you can eat with peace of mind when you are old, Xi'er is not confused about how to increase income and reduce expenditure!"
