Chapter 21: Winter of Snow (4)

Seeing the snow, Bai Ze was not as excited as Xiao and Xia Youran, during his time in the United States, he had already felt the baptism of the northern country. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 As a standard southern man, he is afraid of the cold like most people, and habitually stays in the house in the cold weather, and in his opinion, drinking hot can be reliable by the window and watching the snow outside.

"Wow, is it snow?" Xiao took off his gloves and squatted down to touch the gray snow that had formed on the side of the road, and there were even footprints on them, but he didn't care about them at all. It's completely different from what they did on TV, there was no patches of snow, it was all so dirty, and at the slightest touch, his hand was completely frozen. The cold wind poured in from the back of his neck, and he shrunk his neck, not at all intent on throwing away the snow he had just caught.

"Well, it's snow, but it's dirty, I'll take you up the mountain tomorrow to play, there's a big patch of clean snow there, it's fun!" Xiao Yi took Xiao's hand and asked him to throw away the dirty snow in his hand, because the only thing that was not lacking in them was snow.

"I'm hungry, your aunt has made some dishes waiting for us to go back, they are all specialties here." Xia Bin stopped, paused and said.

"En......" Xia Youran seemed to be very excited, and she didn't even regret taking the plane on purpose, from the moment she got off the plane, she was in a good mood, and she almost hummed a little song. It's cold here, it's just that it didn't take too long to walk from the airport to the open-air parking space, so she didn't feel much, and the inexplicable freshness made her feel like a child, lying on the side of the car window and watching.

Forty minutes later, they arrived at home from the airport, Xia Bin may have had a good life in recent years, and bought a three-bedroom house in Changchun City, although the house is not very big, but the decoration inside is quite good, not at all like the kind of person who hides in Tibet in order to avoid debts. Compared to the cold and snow outside, the inside of the house is completely in the middle of summer, and even if you wear short sleeves inside, you don't seem to feel cold.

"It's so warm in the house, this is the legendary heating, right?" Xia Youran is not the first time to come to the Northeast, she has been here a few times in the summer, and she just felt that it was a little cooler than Hangzhou, but she didn't expect Changchun in winter to have such a different feeling. As she spoke, she took off her coat, but she still felt a little uncomfortable, saying that it was uncomfortable, more like heat, because the room temperature was very high, and she was wearing a thick warm shirt inside. Not long after entering the house, her face began to flush, and it was hot to the touch.

"Looks like I'd better go change my clothes first!" Xia leisurely opened his oversized suitcase, rummaged through it, and took out a set of pajamas. (Of course, it's just a matter of staying for two or three days, and there's no need to bring such a big box at all, it's just that Xia Youran bought too many specialties before coming here, so he brought such a big box.) When she was taking out the pajamas, she took out the specialties she had bought before: the best West Lake Longjing, West Lake crispy fish, drunken dried fish, refreshments and some vacuum-packed meat dumplings. After taking all those things out, the box looked a little empty. She looked at the pile of things and beckoned Xiao Yi to put away the food.

"Really, it's all available online now, and you still have so many things from so far away." My aunt helped put things away, refrigerated what should have been refrigerated, and what should have been received in the locker was received inside the locker. There is no need for her to let Xia Youran take the things back, after all, she is Xia Youran's only relative, and she is not too unfamiliar, even if she hasn't seen her for many years.

"By the way, my uncle's favorite drink is the Longjing before the rain, which is difficult to buy on the market, let alone online." Xia leisurely picked up her pajamas and smiled, if she wore so many clothes to stay in this house, she felt that she would definitely suffer from heat stroke. (If it's winter, and it's heat stroke in the house, you'll definitely be laughed to death by others.) )

On the way here, my uncle had already said hello in advance, because there were only three bedrooms in the house, so Xia Youran and Xia Xuanyi lived in Xia Xuanyi's room, and Bai Ze and Xiao lived in the guest room together. After knowing this, Xia Youran went directly into the bathroom to change clothes, while Xiao and Bai Ze dragged their suitcases into the guest room.

A few minutes later, Xia Youran walked out of the bathroom and tied a simple ponytail, while Xiao and Bai Ze had already changed into home clothes and sat on the sofa in the living room watching TV.

"Isn't that too fast for the two of you?" Xia Youran's speed was already fast enough, but he didn't expect Bai Ze and Xiao to be even faster than him. After changing his clothes, he felt comfortable all over his body, and he jumped and jumped when he walked, compared to Xia Youran, Bai Ze was a little restrained, he was now seeing his parents, thinking about what good impression he should make.

"Alright, come here, it's time to eat!" My aunt wiped her apron with her hand and shouted at them with a smile.

"It's coming!" Xia Youran pulled Bai Ze and Xiao, "My aunt's cooking is delicious, I have a good taste tonight, I don't know what to cook......"

"Auntie, it's a pity that you're not a chef, right?" After walking to the kitchen, Xia leisurely looked at the dishes on the table and couldn't help but sigh. She took a closer look at the dishes on the table, Northeast cuisine is known for its large portions, I didn't expect that my aunt has been here for a few years, and has completely adapted to the living habits here, and even the eating habits have changed: the one placed in the middle is the famous chicken stewed mushrooms, next to it if you don't guess wrong, it should be pot wrapped meat, she was also taken by Sister Qin to eat it once when she came over last time, it is a special dish here, and then there is mushu meat, fried bracken and a small pot of pickles, A little farther away from me are tomato and beef brisket soup and braised prawns, etc., why are the gray things in the pot of shrimp a little strange, what are they?

Xia Youran, who was more curious, immediately put down his chopsticks, stretched out his head and took a closer look, "Hey, isn't this a cicada chrysalis, how did it fall into the shrimp, and there are so many!" ”

"I didn't fall in, I put it in, fried cicada chrysalis with fresh shrimp! High protein! After my aunt first served Bai Ze a bowl of rice, she handed another bowl to Xia Youran and said.

"Is this edible? Feeling a little nauseous? Xia Youran frowned, poked the cicada chrysalis with chopsticks, and then picked up a bowl and put it in Bai Ze beside him.

Bai Ze didn't ask anything, and after glancing at the cicada chrysalis, he picked it up and stuffed it into his mouth.

"How? How does it taste? After watching him swallow it, Xia Youran leaned over and asked.

"Is it delicious?" Seeing Bai Ze, who was treated as a white mouse by Xia Youran, although he expressed sympathy, he also really wanted to know the results of the test.

"It's similar to the taste of shrimp, not so bad." His face was basically expressionless, he didn't even frown, and he ate all the dishes calmly, not saying that it was unpalatable or delicious.

"It's not going to be a lie, is it?" Xia Youran put another one to his mouth and stopped, and looked at Bai Ze to see if he was lying. Bai Ze's expression was still the same as just now, basically unchanged.

"You don't believe what I say, it's better to eat and watch by yourself." Bai Ze pinched a cicada chrysalis and put it on her bowl, "It's rare to eat special dishes, and you can't eat them when you go back." ”

Xia Youran thought about it for a while, and felt that what Bai Ze said was not unreasonable, according to his character, if he didn't eat it now, he would definitely complain when he went back and said that it would be good if he had eaten it at the beginning, and sure enough, it was Bai Ze who knew him best.

Xia Youran closed her eyes and put the cicada chrysalis in her chopsticks into her mouth, she had already made up her mind to eat this, and if she couldn't do it, she would spit it out, and now no one forced herself to eat this.

"Squeak-" I didn't expect this cicada chrysalis to be so crispy, she didn't have the courage to look at the internal structure of the cicada chrysalis, just chewed it a few times, "Hey, it really tastes like shrimp, it's not that unpalatable......" After having this idea, she chewed it a few more times, the taste was better than expected, it was really delicious, and after eating one, she felt a little aftertaste.

"Ah, it's really delicious, Xiao, do you want to eat one too?" After Xia Youran ate the one he sandwiched, he quickly stuffed the one Bai Ze gave her into his mouth, and asked Bai Xiao, who was still drinking soup, as he spoke.

"Don't!" Xiao raised her head and replied coldly.

"Eat one and take a look, it's really delicious-" Xia Youran looked flattering, but Xiao didn't listen to her, and Xiao, who originally liked to eat shrimp, didn't even touch the pot of shrimp.

"Don't!" Xiao glared at Xia Youran and continued to pick up the white rice in the bowl.
