Brother An, who was still writing on the kang, heard what his mother had just said, so he hurriedly put down the brush in his hand and shouted to Li Yunbao in the kitchen. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Mother, do you have any eggs stuffed with my wine?"
Li Yunbao listened to his little bun and asked himself in an extremely expectant tone, Li Yunbao teased his son funny: "Oh, son, what did my mother do if I forgot to do it for you?"
As soon as Brother An'er heard this, her little face, which was still full of expectations, immediately sank, and her tone was a little aggrieved, "Okay, then An'er won't eat it." ”
Li Yunbao unscrupulously listened to his son's low speech, and couldn't help laughing anymore, and brought a bowl of wine-stuffed eggs into the house and rested in front of Brother An.
"Haha, my son's mother teased you, but you just ate a bowl of wine-stuffed dumplings in the morning, can you still eat wine-stuffed eggs? Isn't your little belly a bottomless pit?" Li Yunbao pinched his son's little face and laughed.
"Mother, people like to eat the wine you make, no matter how much you eat, you can't eat enough!" The smile in the little child's eyes couldn't be hidden, looking at the wine-stuffed egg in front of him, and replied in a glutinous tone.
"Okay, hurry up and eat, and write for me after eating." Li Yunbao thought that he would go to greet the people outside to eat, so he didn't make fun of the little bun anymore, and after explaining Brother An'er, he got up and went out.
When he arrived at the kitchen, Li Yunbao saw Xing'er coming into the house by herself, Li Yunbao was puzzled and was about to ask, so Xing'er spoke: "Sister, they all said that they would talk about it after they were busy, and they didn't want to come down."
Li Yunbao nodded: "Well, I know, you bring a bowl into the house to eat, I'll take a look." After that, he went out to see.
Li Yunbao looked up and saw that the eleven people who were there with Hou Hai were divided into two groups, one was busy in the courtyard on Hou Hai's side, and the other was busy on his own side.
There were two people on the roof who were mending the leaks, and the three people below were passing the tiles to the top in a relay style, while Hou Hai was moving the tiles.
Hou Hai ran over when he saw Li Yunbao coming out, and said to Li Yunbao: "Sister, there are few broken roofs in our house, and we will be busy in a while, and when we are done, let them have a hot drink."
"Okay." After hearing Hou Hai say this, Li Yunbao went back to the kitchen, she poured the wine-stuffed eggs in the eleven bowls on the stove back into the pot, took the lid of the pot, and drenched the bowls with water one by one, and then threw two small sticks of firewood under the stove, and then she went out to watch the progress again.
After a while, when everyone was almost busy, Li Yunbao went into the house and took a basin of hot water and handed it out to Hou Hai, asking him to beckon everyone to wash their hands, and he went back to the house to serve wine.
When everyone finished drinking a big bowl of hot wine stuffed eggs, they couldn't help but remember Li Yunbao's goodness, their 100 family chiefs and wives really have nothing to say, they help to work, no matter how hard and tired they are, their hearts are hot!
After sending off the eleven of them, Li Yunbao was busy in the kitchen for a while, and at noon, Hou Hai did not come back, because he was busy repairing the roof of the house, he must not be able to take a break, but he was not worried that he would be hungry.
Xing'er and An'er weren't hungry because they had just eaten wine-stuffed eggs, and they didn't want to eat lunch, so Li Yunbao simply ate something and passed it away.
She sat on the kang and taught her son to read and learn calligraphy, but she was still worried about Shen Xingnan in her heart.
Two days later, Shen Xingnan came back as he said, and although Li Yunbao asked him about what he had seen and heard on this trip, she knew that the situation was not good after the order he issued afterwards made the atmosphere of the whole household more tense and the patrol more strict.
Li Yunbao can't do anything else to share his husband's worries, so he can only try to make some delicious food for Shen Xingnan every day. Make some delicious food for him, and do your part of the concern.
Twenty days have passed since the arrival of the hail disaster that night, and the twenty days have been very strict in the middle of the household, and everyone has been guarding against the extremely hungry Beiban sneak attack all the time, but time has passed little by little, and the household has not lit the flames of war.
Because the number of his own household army is not large, in order to concentrate on defending and resisting the sudden invasion of the northern barbarians, Shen Xingnan did not dare to divide his troops to go out to investigate, what he has to do now is to defend his household and protect everyone in the household, he does not want any of his subordinates to die.
In the past twenty days, they have lost contact with the outside world, but even so, Shen Xingnan is still holding on to his homeland like a mountain, he is waiting, and at the same time looking forward to it, hoping that everything is his own thoughts.
The weather is getting colder and colder, so cold that the rivers that never freeze are frozen.
Li Yunbao sat on the kang at home, and a charcoal basin was placed in the house to keep warm, so that when he ate every day, the food was cold not long after it was served.
Li Yunbao thought that the two big men in the family were busy and worried every day, and when a little man was growing up, she didn't want to let her family eat cold meals all the time, thinking about the copper pot that she specially customized from Tongshun, she decided to eat hot pot tonight.
If you want to do it, Li Yunbao took a copper pot from the space and brushed it clean, wiped it inside and out with ginger slices, and scalded it with boiling water before putting it aside for later use.
Then I rummaged through the space, took some dried fungus, kelp, and soaked it, and took some fresh mushrooms and vegetables stored in autumn from the space and handed them to Xing'er, and asked her to cut some green garlic from the basin on the windowsill on the kang and take it to clean together.
Li Yunbao took out a big herring and a leg of mutton, which were still issued by the household the day before yesterday, and every family has a share, and he has always kept it in the space very fresh.
She carried the leg of mutton to a clean snowdrift in the courtyard outside the house and rested it, so that the leg of lamb could be frozen a little, so that it could be cut into a lamb roll, and she would process the fish herself, and she would peel the fish, debone and slice it into fillets, and eat it hot.
After Li Yunbao prepared all the soup dishes, he saw that the time was almost up, so he put the charcoal fire in the middle of the copper pot and added the soup to the kang table, considering that the small buns were not very spicy, Li Yunbao did not put many chili peppers, and the kang table was full of vegetables, just waiting for Shen Xingnan and Hou Hai to go home and start.
When the two of them returned home against the wind and snow, they were attracted by the aroma of the house as soon as they entered the door.
"Wow, my sister, what's delicious to eat today? The smell of this old incense makes my saliva flow out. As soon as Hou Hai entered the door and smelled the fragrance, he began to chase Li Yunbao and ask.
"Let's eat hot food today, this is called Pixia Gong and hot pot. Seeing that the table is full of dishes, you can eat whatever you want to eat and put it in the copper pot in the middle, and you can eat it after it is cooked and dipping sauce. ”
After Li Yunbao's introduction, Hou Hai couldn't wait to wash his hands and go to sit on the kang, just waiting for his brother-in-law to give an order, he was about to start!
It's just that the first hot pot meal in this world is destined to be unsafe, and the family is only halfway through the meal, and a sergeant comes to report in a hurry.
At this moment, a group of ordinary people appeared outside the gate of the house, dressed in rags and with tired faces, and a group of people with their families came to defect.
