Chapter 279: Barbecue

Chen Xuejiao was sent outside by the Li family, knowing that they had something to say. It's freezing outside, and there is snow all over the ground, Chen Xuejiao wants to stretch her muscles and bones, and set up snowballs to have a snowball fight, only Bi Tao and Xuewa responded to the girls, Xue Ru, Jing Hao, Dragonfly and Li Chanchan are all quiet, standing together and putting their hands in their sleeves, unwilling to go wild in the snow.

"You're all so old, and you're as crazy as you were when you were a child." Chen Xueru was wearing a red cotton coat, surrounded by a bright red bib, standing in the snow, like a painting, seeing a snowball in Xuejiao's hand, she glanced at her lightly, "Don't you think now, stay in the snow and play for a while, in case the shoes are soaked, it should be frostbite on your feet." ”

Chen Xuejiao bent her horns and rolled a big snow ball on the ground, holding it in her hand, her hands were frozen and unconscious, and she only felt fresh and fun in her heart. She had a pair of hair nests on her feet, and her front was covered with snow, and the hair nest was as warm as spring.

Chen Xueru, Jing Hao, Xuewa, Dragonfly and others are wearing thick cotton shoes on their feet, soft and thick bottoms, stuffed with this year's new cotton, which is the most warm, and Bi Tao has a pair of leather boots on his feet, which is the most afraid of water.

Only Chen Xuejiao has a hairy nest on her feet,

Maowozi is a unique item in Baitu Town in winter. In the early winter, the reeds of the Xiaohuai River exploded into white flowers, and the people on the river bank rowed rafts to pick the reeds, picked up the light and soft and dense flowers, and made a few strands like cotton threads, and braided them into uppers. They were tied tightly to the soles of wooden sticks with hemp rope, and the gaps were tightly sewn with thick threads, so that they became a pair of hairy nests. I wear it in heavy snowy weather. It's the warmest of all.

The hind soles of the hairy nest are relatively high, and the center of gravity is unstable once the road is uneven, so Xue Rujing and others only wear it in the house or when it has just snowed. Chen Xuejiao wanted to be fresh, so she put it on her feet all day long, and after a long time, she practiced the ability to run on the snow.

The hairy nest is warm though. But it is very easy to get snow, and once the snow is stained, it will take a long time. He seeped into it along the thatch, and his feet were so cold that he couldn't stand it.

Therefore, when I heard Xue Jiao mention the idea of having a snowball fight, Xue Ru disagreed, and the bottom was so high. If you fall, it's no joke.

"I'm not afraid of the cold. It's good to run, it's so hot and comfortable. Standing in the snow, dressed in clothes embroidered with butterflies, Chen Xuemiao ran like a butterfly, and threw the snow ball in her hand forward, and the snow ball was thrown onto the tree, stirring up scattered snowflakes.

"The red plum blossoms in the confused house are all blooming, so it is better to let Aunt Jia open the door. Let's enjoy the flowers in the plum forest. The yellow dragonfly smiled and said.

Usually the plum blossoms sent by the dragonfly are the two plum trees in the side courtyard where she and Huang Xiucai live, to say the best plum blossoms. But it is Master Qin's confused house, the yard is full of various varieties of plums, this year is cold early, plum blossoms are urged by frost and snow, all bloom. One by one, red as a brocade, as white as frost and snow.

"It's a good place to go." Chen Xuejiao said with a smile, her big eyes rolled, "Aunt Jia has a ready-made oven there, why don't we borrow it, prepare some meat, tea, snacks, and barbecue meat." ”

Under the red plum, in the pavilion, when the stove is surrounded by the snow, it is wonderful.

"I think it's okay, I have long wanted to barbecue and drink in our pavilion, but my mother doesn't want to." Bi Tao jumped out and was the first to respond.

Chen Xueru and Jing Hao don't like snowball fights, but they are very curious about enjoying the plum barbecue around the stove, they are in a steady way, and they are just the years of cardamom, how can they not be interested in new things, the two of them glanced at each other slightly, and then agreed.

Chen Xuejiao cheered, summoned a stone, and ordered him to prepare a piece of mutton, a few plates of fruit, and a few cups, without telling others, wrapped in a sack, and secretly took it out.

Chen Xuejiao was bold, rubbed into Chen Xiucai's thatched study, took a box of tea leaves and half a jar of pear blossom brew, and the group laughed, laughed and made trouble, and came to the muddy house along the road paved with thick snow.

knocked on the door and went in, and Sister-in-law Jia let them in.

Since Master Qin went to Jingshi, the whole confused house has become cold, and so many children suddenly came this time, Sister-in-law Jia was only happy in her heart, closed the door, turned around and invited them to the house to drink tea.

"Auntie, don't be busy." Chen Xuejiao waved her hand again and again, showing a mouthful of fine white teeth with a smile, "We just drank tea, and we are not thirsty." We came here to borrow the pavilion of the red plum forest, and we want to enjoy the snow around the fireplace. ”

"It's not easy." Sister-in-law Jia patted her thigh, in previous years, the red plum blossoms bloomed, and every time the snow fell, Master Qin put a thick felt blanket around the red plum pavilion, lit the stove, collected the snow on the plum blossoms to make tea, and enjoyed the snow while drinking.

Aunt Jia laughed and went to prepare felt blankets and stoves, while Chen Xuejiao and others took mutton, tea and other things along the snow road to Meilin.

Merlin's flowers bloomed as soon as the snow was heavy, and a faint fragrance could be smelled from afar. Although Master Qin was not there, Sister-in-law Jia was still the same as Master Qin, the snow in Merlin had not been swept away at all, and the one-foot-thick snow was clean and there was not a single footprint. Looking around, there are no two colors between heaven and earth, but there are green pines and green bamboos in the distance, Chen Xuejiao only feels that it is like being in a glass box, and the whole world is clean. Green plum is on the side of the rockery, the red plum is next to the water on the other side, through the rockery cave, walk to the bottom of the hillside, just turn along a pool of water, have smelled a cold fragrance blowing the nose, a large area of red plum around the red plum pavilion is like rouge, reflecting the snow color, like the glow of the brocade, it looks particularly spiritual.

Everyone enjoyed the plum blossoms for a while, put down the mutton on the stone, and then cleared the snow and opened the path. In the past, Chen Xuejiao rarely came here, but now take a closer look, it turns out that this red plum pavilion is surrounded by a small and exquisite lake, you can fish by pushing the window, surrounded by reeds on all sides, surrounding the small lake, planting all plum forests, a way to go through it, connecting the red plum and the green plum.

After a while, Jia's sister-in-law brought an iron stove and a thick felt blanket, because she heard that they were going to barbecue meat, and prepared wires and shelves.

The stone helped Aunt Jia to put the thick felt blanket around the pavilion to prevent the wind from penetrating, and then lit the stove, washed the teacup, greeted Xuejiao, and walked away.

The pavilion was cleaned clean, and Aunt Jia also laid a thick mat, and Chen Xuejiao and others sat on the mat to play.

When the fire rose, the whole pavilion was warm, Chen Xuejiao was most afraid of the heat, so she took off the thick cotton clothes on her body, and was disgusted by Chen Xueru: "Hurry up and put it on, it's not a joke to get frostbitten when you turn around." ”

Chen Xuejiao smiled at Xueru, ignored it, discussed it with the three of them, took off the bracelet on her hand, and cut the mutton into pieces with a knife.

It was not long after lunch, and I was not hungry at all, and it was just a joke.

Chen Xueru instructed Chen Xuejiao a few words, then got up and took Jing Hao and Li Chanchan to the plum forest, in previous winters, she would come to the plum forest to pick snow and make tea for Chen Xiucai. Today, a few people roasted mutton here to eat, Chen Xueru was afraid of accumulating food, and wanted to use the snow on the plum blossoms to boil water and make tea to relieve greasy.

Pick up the snow on the dense flower branches, the upper layer of the blow, the bottom layer of the snow finely scraped into the bottle, such snow is the cleanest, with the richness of plum blossoms, the best tea to drink. In the past, there was no good tea at home, so I used this snow to bury it in the ground, and then dig it out in the next spring, and make tea to drink more moisturizing than the precious tea leaves.

When Chen Xueru returned to the pavilion, she smelled a burst of meat.

"Sister, the meat is roasted, it's fragrant, come and eat it." Chen Xuejiao sandwiched a piece of roasted crispy meat, stuffed it into her mouth while sighing, and freed up one hand to greet Xue Ru.

"It's so fragrant, it's so fun." Bi Tao excitedly circled the stove, her interest was not in eating meat, but in roasting, she had always been pampered, she had never done any work, and was instructed by Xuewa to take a knife to cut meat.

"It's baked so quickly." Li Chanchan was also moved by her heart at this time, and she couldn't help but take a step.

"Let's go eat too, and drink tea in the snow water after eating." Jing laughed and groaned and put the big bowl of snow on the table, wiped her hands with snow, picked up the mutton and ate it.

Huang Dragonfly sat on the mat, put the roasted meat, piece by piece on the plate, Chen Xuejiao loves to eat chili peppers, she did not forget to sprinkle chili powder, and the group ate Xingxingtoutou.

"By the way, there is also the jar of pear blossom stuffing, which is also opened." Chen Xuejiao said happily.

The wine was opened, everyone drank a glass, and the roast mutton was served, and there was a taste in their hearts.

The fire in the stove burned more and more, the felt carpet surrounded the pavilion impermeable, and the room was as warm as spring, and after a while, the whole person was sweating.

Bi Tao, Xue Wa, Dragonfly, and Li Chanchan followed Xue Jiao's example, held off the thick cotton jacket outside, and only wore the middle coat inside to barbecue around the stove.

Surrounded by the fragrance of plums, admiring the snow, eating barbecue, drinking wine, not to mention how beautiful it is!

"Wow, what fragrant meat!" A male voice frightened everyone. (To be continued......)
