Reborn farming life

Chapter 34
The weather was strangely cold, so Li Yu didn't stay long, and walked home after paying the money. When he got home, he first picked up the charcoal suffocated during the noon cooking and put it in a basket prepared in advance.As soon as it was finished, someone shouted outside the door, "Is Miss Yu at home?"

Lian Er went to open the door, saw that it was Cui Gu and her husband, and hurriedly let them in, Li Yu also came out of the kitchen when she heard Cui Gu came, "Hehe, I'm really bothering my sister-in-law and Brother Shuanzi, please sit in the room and sit outside. It's so cold."

"Hi! Don't sit down anymore. There are still a lot of things waiting at home. After delivering the meat to you, I have to rush back to help. Where do you put the meat?"

"Brother Shuanzi, please put it in the kitchen." Cui Gu and the others also went back after the meat was put away.

Li Yu walked into the kitchen, and Lian'er followed. Looking at the big pot of beef, she said in surprise, "Miss, there's so much meat! How do you do this? Lian'er has never done it before."

Li Yu was very happy looking at this big pot of meat, "I'll do it, you just need to help me." Li Yu rolled up his sleeves, tied up his apron, and separated the meat in the pot, thinking of beef tendon meat Make beef stew, rib meat for beef stew, and everything else as beef jerky.

Li Yu washed two large pieces of beef tendon meat, cut them into three-inch squares, rubbed them repeatedly with salt, put them in a separate small basin, and marinated them until tomorrow.

When Li Yu was making this, Lian'er had already cut a large piece of beef rib meat into small cubes about an inch long, put these beef cubes into boiling water to skim off the foam, then fished them out, and poured them into a hot pan. Add a small amount of oil, add shredded green onion and ginger, a few dried chili segments, and star anise and stir-fry until the aroma is released, then put the beef in, add soy sauce, sugar, rice wine and miso, and stir-fry until the beef is colored and tasty.Add water and simmer over low heat.I thought about cutting up some potatoes that Liu Lanhua sent a few days ago, and put them in after the beef was stewed, and added salt.About half an hour later, a large pot of delicious beef stew with potatoes is ready.

Li Yu looked at the sky, it might be because of the cloudy sky, it was already dark outside, and the whistling north wind made his face hurt.Then I saw Lian Er who was sitting on the bench washing the leftover beef, her little hands were red from the ice water.Li Yu frowned and walked over to pull Lian'er up, "Really, why don't you use the hot water I boiled for you to wash? The water in this well is freezing to death, what should I do if my hands are frozen?" Li Yu looked at himself for a while. Pay attention to the fact that the hands that are red from the cold are very distressed.

"It's okay, miss, Lian'er is used to doing it, and I used to do it when I was at home." Li Yu didn't care about the past, and quickly took a towel to wipe Lian'er's hands, and then pulled her to the stove, "No matter what happened before , this is not allowed in the future, a girl's hands are very important, don't let yourself be spoiled."

Seeing Li Yu being so nervous, Lian Er was very happy and didn't argue with her, but nodded obediently and sat by the stove to warm up.Seeing that she was obedient, Li Yu didn't say anything. He looked at the remaining beef and thought that he should make it tomorrow. It was so cold, so he quickly ate his meal and lay down on the bed.

The three of them had a delicious meal of goulash with potatoes for dinner. After dinner and washing up, it was completely dark outside, and the wind was getting stronger and stronger, making the door rattle loudly.Li Yu stared at the wind and spread more straw in the chicken coop, covered the rabbit basket with a lot of straw, and went to the kitchen to burn the small clay stove at home in the back room with a carbon side, and put a copper pot on it to burn. water.

Bring Moyu Xueyu who has been sleeping in the yard these days into the house, and close the door.Although the doors and windows are closed, Li Yu still feels very cold, Lian'er and Tuantuan don't feel anything at all, the two happily play with building blocks on the bed, and even Mo Yu and Xue Yu snuggle together quietly .Li Yu thought, could it be that he is too delicate?Uh!Probably not, I can only say that I am not quite used to the days without heating...

Li Yu took off his shoes and climbed onto the kang, spread two layers of quilts on the side of the kang near the kitchen as a mattress, put his own and Lian Er's quilts together, put another layer of quilts on top, and got in. After feeling it, my eyes narrowed, it was really warm!Lian Er, who had been paying attention to Li Yu, couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw her lady's actions, "Miss, you are building such a house now, what will you do when you are in the middle of the year?"

Li Yu squinted his eyes and curled up under the quilt, beckoning to Tuantuan, "Tuantuan is here to sleep." Tuantuan laughed and hopped on the soft quilt a few times before Li Yu grabbed her coat and hugged her into his arms.She said to Lian'er leisurely, "Never mind him, I'll buy some more quilts, and cover the windows and doors with cotton curtains, anyway, I can't freeze, come and sleep quickly, the quilts are so warm!"

Lian Er laughed and blew on the lamp and climbed into the bed, not to mention, it was really warm.After a day of exhaustion, Li Yu was already very sleepy, but Tuantuan was not happy about it anymore. He slept too much in the afternoon, and he writhed in Li Yu's arms but couldn't sleep. He patted Tuantuan's little butt, his voice sounded a little sleepy, "Little troublemaker, why are you moving around if you don't sleep?"

"Sister, Tuan Tuan is not sleepy, sister tells Tuan Tuan stories, tell stories!" Li Yu hugged the small stove in his arms tightly, "You are a torturer, just tell one and just sleep well!" Tuan Tuan nodded graciously.Li Yu began to tell the story of the wolf coming. After a while, the room gradually became quiet, except for the shallow breathing and the occasional "cracking" sound of burning charcoal.The three people on the bed had already fallen asleep peacefully.

The next morning Li Yu was awakened by the cheerful laughter and noise of the children outside."It's snowing~ It's snowing~" laughing noises came from outside all the time! Hearing that it was snowing, Li Yu jumped out of the quilt in a jerk, but was shrank again by the cold air Going back, Li Yu pushed Lian'er and Tuantuan, "Get up, it's snowing outside! Get up!"

Lian Er was pushed awake by Li Yu, she rubbed her eyes and muttered, "Miss, what's wrong?"

Li Yu looked at Lian'er with twinkling eyes, raised the corners of his mouth, and raised his voice, "Lian'er, it's snowing outside!"

Lian'er was obviously not awake yet, and repeated Li Yu's words, "It's snowing." Suddenly, she seemed to understand, and exclaimed, "Ah! It's snowing? It's snowing outside?!" They ran away, and wanted to go to the ground without thinking about dressing and shoes, but Li Yu held her back and said with a sneer, "Crazy girl, put on your clothes before going out, be careful of freezing!"

Lian'er stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and hurriedly put on her clothes. Li Yu also started to put on his clothes. Looking at Tuantuan who hadn't woken up, he put his little clothes under the quilt to cover him, and tucked him in again. Put on shoes only when you are quilt.

When I opened the door, the snow had fallen half a foot deep, and I saw a vast expanse of whiteness. My small courtyard was completely covered by snow, and pieces of snowflakes flew down like jade butterflies circling.A gust of wind blew by, the persimmon branches swayed in the snow dance, and the jade-like snow powder fluttered with the wind. The scenery was picturesque.
