Three dishes with rice, full weight, in addition to the meal, there is a fruit, Xu Qing let them after a meal every other time to eat.

Watching the children eat well, Xu Qingcai left at ease.

In the evening, Xu Qing mixed a lot of stuffing and steamed the steamed buns in the middle of the night. The steamed buns were put outside in the yard and covered with drawer cloth.

The next morning, when I opened it, I found that all the porcelain was frozen and packed into a bamboo basket, which could be stored for several days.

Xu Qing got up late in the morning and didn't have time to make breakfast for the children.

However, breakfast in winter is still a good solution. After the maids have cooked porridge, they steam a drawer of steamed buns that Xu Qing has packed in advance, and then they serve them with pickles and pickles.

Snowflakes, the ground has been covered with a thick layer of snow, step on creak creak, lunch, a few children dressed in thick clothes in the yard for a while to play with snow.

In the afternoon, Xu Qing and Li Changting went out quietly.

Two people didn't go to other places, but came to the house of Duanmu ring.

There is a well and a big kitchen in the house, which just allows them to kill the cattle and sheep in the space.

Chickens, ducks, rabbits and pigs, which are used to make preserved meat, have been disposed of by Xu Qing. If they are fresh, it's better to eat and slaughter them now.

The government stipulates that cattle and sheep should not be slaughtered at will, especially cattle, so if they want to eat, they can only deal with it secretly.

After returning home, Xu Qing decomposes the slaughtered cattle and sheep into large pieces and sends some to Li Jinmei and Xu Ying. The rest is put out to freeze overnight, and then received in the small kitchen next to the house without space.

The temperature outside is about five or six degrees below zero. The lower the temperature goes, Xu Qing is not sure how low it will be.

Anyway, in the Spring Festival period, there will always be people quietly frozen to death.

The climate in the space is like spring, so it's not suitable for preserving frozen meat. It's better to store the meat outside with ice and snow, and come out at any time when you want to eat it.

In the space, Xu Qing cuts a large piece of beef in a wooden basin into small pieces, ready to make some snacks.

The two men in the family have been thinking about it for a long time.

Since December, the snow outside is always intermittent, sometimes it's windy and rainy, so people can't stay outside for a long time.

Occasionally, when the weather is sunny, Xu Qing will ask Li Qinshu to take a holiday and let the children take a bath and go out to bask in the sun.

Leisure time always passes quickly, and it's the end of the year in a twinkling of an eye.

Xu Qing prepared 20 dishes for the new year's Eve dinner. Li Jinmei's family and Xu Ying's husband and wife originally planned to come to help. As a result, Xu Qing prepared these dishes in advance. They didn't need to bring anything. They just had to open their mouths.

Li Changting made the living room warm in advance, and then helped Xu Qing to bring the dishes to the table, and asked everyone to come for dinner.

Li Qinshu and Yu Xiaoqian were also called over, and Xu Qing also gave some other big dishes to his family.

Toast and eat.

There was nothing on the table, but everyone had a good time.

A big table full of food has been solved by everyone, one by one eating belly.

After dinner, Li Jinmei and Xu Ying went back to their respective homes. It was more comfortable for them to stay on their own Kang.

It's cold and there's nothing for children to play. They can only eat melons and fruits on the Kang and play chess.

On the first day of the lunar new year, everyone got up early to pay New Year's greetings to Xu Qing and Li Changting.

Today's weather is unexpectedly good, Xu Qing gave the children lucky money, and then drove the carriage out of the house.

The outside area is covered with snow, many people are shoveling snow on the street, and some children are having snowball fights in a wide area.

Li Changting drives the carriage to Fu's house. Xu Qing takes out the gift he has prepared and goes in with Li Changting to pay New Year's greetings to Ji and Fu.

Mr. Ji and Mr. Fu are bored. Instead of asking Xu Qing and Li Changting to stay for dinner, Xu Qing has to have lunch at the Fu's house. In the afternoon, they go to the Yu's house and Zhao Jian's to pay New Year's greetings.

After coming out from Zhao Jian, Xu Qing and Li Changting went home.

It's dark early in winter. When they get home, it's already completely dark. Without the sun, the temperature drops sharply. They feel like they're going to be frozen into ice when they stay outside for a moment.

This evening, the place to eat hot pot is on the Kang where hui'er and his family sleep. First, they spread a sheet to avoid soiling the bedding. Then, they put four short tables together, put the hot pot on the shelf and serve the dishes.

Xu Qing didn't accompany the children to eat together, but let a few children eat by themselves. On the contrary, they were more comfortable. Xu Qing went back to the space, and there was a hot pot in the space, which was hotter.

Thin cut fat cattle and sheep, a short time under the pot is completely cooked, dip in the sauce to eat, full of fragrance.

On the third day of the lunar new year, an urgent letter was sent to Yin Xiangfu. Two days later, Li Changting received a letter from Yin Xiangfu.

The letter said that the situation was urgent. He was asked to go to kunzhou and Lanzhou immediately."What happened to these two places?" Xu Qing asked suspiciously.

"There was a frost disaster and a snow disaster." Li Changting said, "it's said that many people died in late December due to the lack of clothing and firewood. All the crops in the field were frozen to death. When they got to the back, the snow disaster became more and more serious. Many people couldn't find their way out, and they were killed by falling and freezing. There were disasters in previous years, but it was not as serious as this year."

Xu Qing thought, "what can we do then?"

Li Changting: "the imperial court has allocated relief materials, but the main relief personnel are situ Xiao's people. Yin Xiang is not sure. He wants me to go with him to have a look. It happens that we haven't been to these two cities, but now the weather is really bad."

Things come so suddenly, and they still have to go. Xu Qing can only ask Li Zhu to tell him something. Next things at home can only be taken care of by Li Zhu and Li Qinshu.

Xu Qing gives Chaotianjiao the task of cooking. Here, only his craftsmanship is better. Xu Qing doesn't have to worry about other trifles, but the date of her return is uncertain. Qingtingfang can't open the door to do business before she comes back.

After leaving enough vegetables, meat and fruit for his family, Xu Qing packed up and rushed out with Li Changting.

The snow on the official road is so deep that even the horses can't move forward. Fortunately, there is another way to go - by boat.

The small rivers are frozen, but the center of the main river is not frozen all the year round, and its width is just enough for ships to pass by. It is said that the goods distributed by the imperial court are also from official ships.

It's a day's journey from the city of zhezhou to a riverside town by boat. There are ships berthing there, whether they are private ships, cargo ships or official ships.
