Farmhouse Small God Bowl

Chapter 98 Homemade Hand Stove
"Xiaobai, is Chen Mo at home?" While the three of them were laughing, they heard Yan Xiaokai calling at the door.

Hearing the wind outside, Chen Mo didn't expect Zhou Xiaobai to open the door anymore, he trotted all the way, rushed into the yard, grabbed Yan Xiaokai and rushed into the house.

As soon as the two of them came in, a gust of cool wind came in, which made Zhou Xiaobai shiver, and slapped him out with a "choo".

"Xiaobai, why did you catch a cold?" Yan Xiaokai didn't care about patting the snowflakes on his body, so he directly stuffed something hot into Zhou Xiaobai's hands.Zhou Xiaobai was so frightened that he hugged him quickly.

When I lowered my head and opened it, it turned out to be a round stone wrapped in cloth, but it was warm now.Yan Xiao smiled naively, "Xiaobai, when I went to the town, I saw some wives and misses holding a hand stove. Although the stone eggs are not good-looking, it is not bad to hold a bag of cloth heads."

Yan Xiaokai is really a thoughtful person, knowing that Zhou Xiaobai is afraid of the cold, and basically stays at home throughout the winter, so he is a little anxious.It was very beautiful to see a big family in the town holding a hand stove, but unfortunately when he went to the store and asked, the price was also very beautiful, so he had to come back in despair.

I came back with such an idea, although I can't afford a hand stove, but I can make one myself.This side is close to the mountain, so Yan Xiaokai took the time to find a flat stone on the mountain, polished it well, put it in the stove to heat it up, and then took it out to make it warm.Then he was afraid of burning his hands, so he found a piece of printed cloth to wrap it up, which looked somewhat similar to a hand stove.Why don't you quickly put it in your arms and ask Zhou Xiaobai to present the treasure.

Chen Mo helped Yan Xiaokai pat the snowflakes on his body, the wind and snow outside were really heavy, and a thick layer had already fallen after just a few steps.If you don't hit it quickly, it will melt away in a while, wouldn't your clothes be soaked.On the one hand, I sneaked a glance at the past, what kind of treasure is it. "Brother Xiaokai, your idea is really good. With this, my sister won't be able to sleep because her feet are cold at night."

Zhou Xiaobai squinted his eyes and glanced at Chen Mo, this kid is really, why did he tell all his embarrassing things, but it's also true, in this terrible weather, Zhou Xiaobai soaked his feet every day before going to bed, but every time it was midnight I'm going to wake up from the cold.So these days, I sleep with Chen Mo, and every day, Chen Mo hugs her feet in her arms so that she can sleep for a while.

Now Yan Xiaokai sent this thing, although it looks simple, but it is very practical, just like a warm water bag.I really don't know how much effort it took him.Zhou Xiaobai felt the same as Ming Jing'er in his heart, he didn't have a big river here, so such a big and smooth stone must have wasted a lot of his efforts.I am very grateful.

"Brother Xiaokai, the brazier where Chen Mo was angry just now is very cold outside, so hurry up and roast it." Zhou Xiaobai put the stone into his arms, and pulled Yan Xiaokai to surround the brazier.

Taking a few breaths, "It smells so good!" Yan Xiaokai sniffed, smelling the sweetness in the air.Thinking of it, Zhou Xiaobai quickly took out a sweet potato from the brazier and stuffed it into Yan Xiaokai's hand.

"Brother Xiaokai, try it, it's delicious." Yan Xiaokai looked at the dark dumpling that Zhou Xiaobai forced over, "What is this? It's dark."

Zhou Xiaobai thought of roasted sweet potatoes, but they didn't exist here either. It was when he was sitting around the brazier warming up the fire, his mouth was hungry, and then he remembered that there was such a thing to eat.Ask Chen Mo to go to another house to buy some sweet potatoes, and try it at my own house, it really tastes good.But on the first day of junior high school, the dark skin looks inconspicuous at all, no wonder Yan Xiaokai dare not eat it.

Helping Yan Xiaokai peel off the black skin, and handed it to Yan Xiaokai's mouth, "Brother Xiaokai, I need to remove the outer layer of scorched skin." On Zhou Xiaobai's hand, Yan Xiaokai bit it big Take a sip.

Zhou Xiaobai's words were still in his mouth, halfway through, "Brother Xiaokai, be careful of burning your mouth..." Yan Xiaokai had already bit down on it.At this moment, he was frowning, his mouth was wide open, and he kept breathing.After a while, Yan Xiao opened his mouth and then closed it.

"Xiaobai, why is it so hot?" Yan Xiaokai then quickly drank the bowl of cold water that Chen Mo handed him, only then did he feel the burning sensation in his mouth get better.

But the aroma in his hand made him unable to resist taking such a mouthful, but this time he didn't dare to take such a big mouthful. After taking a small bite, it was really sweet, soft, and sweet, like Like honey, "Don't say it, this is really delicious, Xiaobai, what did you do."

Yan Xiaokai knew at a glance that it was Zhou Xiaobai's handwriting. Although Zhou's family cooks with morning ink, Zhou Xiaobai often fiddles with such weird things.

There is nothing to hide. The method of roasting sweet potatoes is extremely simple. The most convenient thing is to stuff them into the stove when cooking, and the effort for a meal is almost the same.

The sweet potato was getting colder, Yan Xiaokai ate it again and again, he ate the whole sweet potato, and kept saying that it was really delicious.

"Xiaobai, some time ago I heard people say that you have some kind of fish pond in the town, is there such a thing?" Yan Xiaokai surrounded the brazier and couldn't help asking out the doubts in his heart.

I always heard people talk about it before, but when I asked about my grandfather and Chen Mo, I always shook my head and kept silent, saying that I asked him to ask Zhou Xiaobai.

Zhou Xiaobai didn't pretend to be mysterious on purpose, but he just felt that it would be too embarrassing if he didn't show his horoscope before he even wrote it off.Fortunately, the pond is not bad, and it has been harvested for a season.But now it's too cold, and the fish fry can't be raised naturally, so let's put them here first.

"That's right, I built a fish pond in the town before, but I didn't do it alone..." Since Yan Xiaokai asked, Zhou Xiaobai answered honestly.

Even if you didn't do it alone, the pond full of fish can still earn a lot of money, Yan Xiaokai listened to Zhou Xiaobai's words, but stopped talking.

Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Mo was going to cook, and wanted to keep Yan Xiaokai at home.Yan Xiaokai refused to stay, so Zhou Xiaobai insisted on stuffing a few roasted sweet potatoes, saying that he would give Aunt Yan and Uncle Yan a taste.

It's cold every day, Zhou Xiaobai doesn't want to move, he just stays at home all the time, now with Yan Xiaokai's simple hand stove, Zhou Xiaobai just wants to go to his own field to have a look.

After eating at noon, Zhou Xiaobai went out with the hot stone that had just been burned.I plan to go to see the tender corn in my field first.

Walking towards the side of the mountain, Zhou Xiaobai thought, it was cold these days, and he hadn't had a good bath, so he just scrubbed it casually. In such weather, going to a hot spring would be so beautiful.Especially with this kind of private hot spring, Zhou Xiaobai became more and more unable to control himself.He planned to go to see the field quickly, so he asked Shang Chenmo to go to the hot spring together.

Perhaps Zhou Xiaobai was too fascinated by his thoughts, and felt something was wrong when he was almost in the field.It turned out that she found that there were more than a row of her shoe prints on the snow leading to her field.In this kind of weather, there are no fruits and prey on the mountain, so no one will go up the mountain at this time, and there is only one piece of land on the side of the mountain, so could this shoe print be in my own land?

Zhou Xiaobai thought to be sure that something happened in his field, squatted down, picked up a dead branch from the roadside, held it in his hand, and walked slowly towards his field.

Sure enough, before reaching the boundary, I heard a few children laughing.

"Dahu, this one is pretty good..."

"That one..."

"Everyone, keep your voice down, shhh..."

"What are you afraid of? No one came out in this snowy day." Only a few voices laughed.

Only then did Zhou Xiaobai take a closer look, and couldn't help but get angry, there was more than one thief, there were several of them, and upon closer inspection, it was the same bad boy who stole chicken from his house last time.No, I'm busy breaking corn in my field.Break one from time to time, and throw it aside, saying in his mouth, this is too tender, boil it and soak it in water.

"What are you doing?" Zhou Xiaobai yelled loudly, startling the thieves who were busy stealing corn, but then realized that the master had come.

The boy who took the lead dropped the corn in his hand and waved his hand, "The wind is pulling..."

These boys ran faster than rabbits. Although Zhou Xiaobai was not reconciled, but after all, those boys were used to wild foreheads and couldn't run them in the snow, so he had to secretly write down their faces, so I came to have a look. It's home.

Looking at his own land, Zhou Xiaobai felt very distressed.Because wheat and corn are interplanted, the corn has produced green cobs now, but wheat only grows strong on the stalks.Being trampled on by these little thieves, everyone is crooked and completely out of shape.

Zhou Xiaobai looked at the conditions in the field and guessed that they came here more than once.There are so many families in the village that grow corn, why do they choose their own corn every time they are born?
In fact, it's no wonder that people always pick Zhou Xiaobai's house and steal it.One is that the Zhou family's land is on the side of a mountain, and there is no one in Nian Genshang on weekdays, let alone this snowy day, they are sure that Zhou Xiaobai will not go out in winter, and they are even more unscrupulous.What's more, the corn at Zhou's family, I don't know why, although it is not yet mature, it seems to have more indescribable taste than other corns at home.

Zhou Xiaobai was fully awake now. After working in the field alone for a long time, he had almost cleaned up the mess they made, but he just didn't know if these seedlings would survive.I couldn't stop scolding these brats in my heart, it's really a waste of food, stealing corn is fine, why are you breaking some and throwing some away?

I went to look at the three acres of land rented by the village, and it seemed to be stable. I guessed that those thieves must have dared not go there.Zhou Xiaobai was very unwilling to think about the destruction of his own field. He originally wanted to go to the village to sue for such a case, but he thought that this time he really had no evidence, and he didn't catch the current situation. What does it look like to be falsely accused?

He could only go home fiercely, but he still thought that he must take a good opportunity to teach them a lesson, or else he would have gritted his teeth and swallowed the bad breath again.

Not to mention that the opportunity came really fast, Zhou Xiaobai was given a good opportunity on the second day.

But on the second day, the weather was fine. Although the ground was still white, there was no snow falling.Yan Xiaokai called Chen Mo out in the yard early in the morning to catch sparrows.Zhou Xiaobai was also bored in the room, so he also went out holding the stone hand stove.

There is no fun in the snowy day, so the children in the village just catch some sparrows for fun, and they also eat meat for themselves.Catching sparrows in the snow is easy to say, but it is not easy to do.

First, find a flat ground, then use a thin stick to support the dustpan, sprinkle some corn dregs or rice husks in the dustpan, and then tie the stick with a thin thread, so that people can hide from a distance. Then a sparrow went in, and when the rope was pulled, the sparrow was locked in the dustpan.

Of course, catching sparrows depends on people's patience and sharp eyesight. You must have sharp eyesight and quick hands, otherwise you will naturally not be able to catch them.

Hearing Yan Xiaokai's method, Zhou Xiaobai was so excited that he insisted on clamoring to come and try it, but it's a pity that with Zhou Xiaobai's frizzy temper, he couldn't catch it for a long time.Several times he went in after watching the sparrow, but Zhou Xiaobai pulled the rope before the sparrow reached the dustpan.

When Chen Mo saw that Zhou Xiaobai was so good, he kept yelling and wanted to try it, but he was much better than Zhou Xiaobai. At least he caught it a few times, and finally he succeeded a few times.

Yan Xiaokai watched the two of them tossing like this, without speaking, just covered her mouth and smiled.Zhou Xiaobai stuffed something into his arms, "Brother Xiaokai, don't rush to make fun of me, grab one and give me a try."

Yan Xiaokai didn't make a sound, just took it, and really had such a hand, several times in a row, every time he was able to catch it, even once he caught two.Zhou Xiaobai and Chen Mo were too busy pretending to be sparrows to make it through.

But this week Xiaobai still didn't give up, and finally came up with a crooked idea for her.It turned out that she thought that since she was not skilled enough, she had to work harder on this bait.Recalling the corn sticks that were spoiled by those bad boys yesterday, I took one out of the house, chopped it up, and put it under the dustpan. The sweet smell really attracted not many sparrows.

Even Yan Xiaokai praised Zhou Xiaobai for his ability.After a while, the three of them had caught quite a few, suddenly Chen Mo pulled Zhou Xiaobai's clothes and whispered in her ear, "Sister, look there are some people over there."

Zhou Xiaobai secretly hid behind the tree and looked towards the direction Zhou Xiaobai pointed to. It turned out to be the gang of thieves. There was also a dustpan in front of them, and it seemed that they also came to catch sparrows.It's a pity that after half a day's work, not a single sparrow passed by.

Doing it like this, Zhou Xiaobai thought about it, planning to teach them a lesson.
