Chapter 453: The First Snow
That afternoon, about four o'clock, the weather was extremely dark, there was no wind, and the sky was overcast, as if it would fall to the ground at any moment.
"Shalashala......"
A slight sound sounded on the roof, and Qian Linjue was standing under the eaves, seeing a little bit of sand falling on the ground.
It was a bead-like ice particle, or the ice bead was not big, about a few tenths of a centimeter in diameter, falling from the sky, falling to the ground, bounced up, and rolled to the side.
At first, the ice beads fell only slightly, and then more and more, emitting patches of "salashala......! "Ringing.
At the same time, a thick layer of ice beads was also spread on the ground, and Qian Linjue had no doubt that if she stepped on it with one foot, she would definitely roll down and fall if she was not prepared.
And just as he was thinking about this, there was a whirring sound in the sky, and it seemed that there was a little wind.
The number of ice droplets falling decreased, and the sound of rustling became smaller, and instead pieces of snow-white objects that looked like goose feathers and cotton wool fell from the sky.
Snowflakes!
At first, the amount of snowflakes falling was not large, and it was mixed with the falling ice beads, which were occasionally hit by ice beads in mid-air, and the speed of the fall would become faster.
But as time goes on, more and more snowflakes fall, and ice droplets fall less and less......
Finally, the snow is falling!
A large number of snowflakes fell from the sky, starting to dye the ground a snow-white color, trying to cover the earth with a thick cotton quilt.
However, it has only just started to snow, and it will take some time to cover the snow-white cotton quilt.
"Crunch ......"
The door behind Qian Linjue opened, and Linglu, who had a dull hair on her head, walked out of the room.
When Suzulu saw snow-white snowflakes falling from the sky, her face was full of excitement.
"Wow! It's snowing! ”
Her hometown is in the south, and she has never seen snow before, and this is the first time.
She happily rushed to the yard, gathered a handful of snowflakes in both hands, and threw them into the sky.
The snowflakes scattered again, like the sky cheering for Suzuro.
Ling Lu threw it happily several times, then ran under the eaves, came to Qian Linjue, and threw herself into his arms.
She buried her head in Qian Linjue's arms, warmed up, and then raised her head and looked at Qian Linjue expectantly.
"Now, Linjue, can you help me make a snowman together?"
The first time Suzulu saw snow, her excitement never fell, and she never built a snowman.
Qian Linjue gently and dotingly scratched her little nose.
"There's still too little snow now, wait until tonight passes, and tomorrow you can pile it up."
Saying that, Qian Linjue turned around, "Let's go, it's cold outside, go into the house first, and we'll have dinner later." ”
"Hmm!"
Linglu nodded happily and entered the house with Qian Linjue.
The two of them read a book in the room for a while, talked a few more words, and after a while, it was time for dinner.
The exclusive maid of Xuelin Palace Qianfei'er came to the outside of Qianlinjue's room and knocked on the door three times politely and respectfully.
"Tuk-tuk."
"Who?"
Qian Linjue lowered her head and asked.
"Young Master Qian, the queen asked you to come over for dinner." Outside the door, the maid's melodious voice came to her ears.
"Okay, Young Master Ben knows, you tell her, Young Master Ben will be here soon."
Qian Linjue replied in an arrogant tone.
"Yes." The maid replied respectfully, and then fell silent.
In the room, Qian Linjue glanced at Ling Lu gently, and wrapped her right hand around her flexible waist.
"Let's go, let's have dinner."
"Hmmm! Make sure to build a snowman for me tomorrow! ”
Linglu looked at Qian Linjue with burning eyes.
The little guy has been thinking about the snowman, and it's weird and cute.
Qian Linjue smiled softly and responded dotingly, "Okay, I will listen to you, I will promise you whatever you say." ”
After saying that, he and Linglu stood up together, and the two of them walked to the door together and walked out of the room.
Outside the courtyard, the two walked out of the small courtyard, turned a corner, walked for a while, and entered the Xuelin Palace.
The two peach trees in the courtyard of the Xuelin Palace have completely lost their leaves, leaving only dry branches, waiting for the next spring to sprout and grow leaves.
Now, of course, they still have to hang up snow-white quilts and survive the winter with snowflakes.
The door of Xuelin Palace is still tightly closed, and now it is cold, and it is very cold to open the door and let the air conditioner go in, and the meal inside will quickly cool down.
Qian Linjue and Linglu walked quickly through the small courtyard, went up to the steps, and pushed the door directly in.
Inside the door, the people were already seated.
It's just that, compared to the previous few days, everyone sat a little low, and instead of sitting on chairs, they sat on quilt cushions.
Above the quilt pad are a pair of legs wearing thick velvet pants, and above the legs, there is a thick quilt, and above that, there is the table.
When Qian Linjue saw it, she was a little surprised.
"Kotatsu?"
The kotatsu, a kind of exclusive thing in the north of Blue Star, is used for indoor heating, just like the kang. Fish fish
It's just that there is no kotatsu in the current Douluo Continent, this is another invention of Qian Fei'er, and the electricity required is provided by the cake-shaped soul guide that absorbed the power of the Thunder Divine Dragon in the previous Elite Competition of the Continent-wide Advanced Soul Master Academy of Wuhun City.
On the side of the quilt, Hua Ning sat close to the door, Qian Linjue opened the door and didn't close it, the whirring cold wind made her want to shrink in.
She hurriedly turned her head and looked at Qian Linjue.
"Lin Jue, can you help close the door? Extra cold. ”
When Qian Linjue heard this, her eyes were condescending, and her eyes were condensed.
"Hahahaha, do you want Young Master Ben to help you close the door? What a guts! This young master is not, I can open it if I want to, and close it if I want to! ”
While speaking, Qian Linjue walked directly into the front hall and closed the door directly with her backhand.
After closing it, he also specially took out a little cotton thread from his soul guide bracelet and plugged the gap in the door, making sure that there was no wind to blow in, before letting it go.
By the hearth, Hua Ning smiled sweetly.
"Thank you, Linjue."
Qian Linjue crossed her arms to her chest and snorted arrogantly.
"Hmph, you can thank Young Master Ben to the fullest, although this is an unintentional move by Young Master Ben, you must feel honored."
After speaking, Qian Linjue took Linglu to find two vacant seats and sit down.
It was the first time for Suzulu to sit on the kotatsu, she put her legs into the kotatsu, only to feel a hot inside, and she wanted to get into it comfortably.
"Ah, it's so warm~"
She said a word, leaned comfortably on the table, and put her hand in together.
Not far away, Qian Fei'er was also sitting in the quilt, she looked at Linglu's comfortable appearance, and smiled gently.
"Warm, huh? It's all up to it this winter. ”
As she spoke, Qian Fei'er stretched out her hand and patted it, and turned around and shouted inside: "Maid? Serving! ”
"Yes."
The maid replied respectfully, and then stepped out of the room, bringing out the pre-prepared, warm, and hot meal.
It's basically the same as the last dish, all kinds of sausages, bacon, duck, lettuce, two pots of soup, and some other meats, etc.
In fact, during this period of time, Qian Linjue and others have eaten all kinds of cured meat every day. Qianfeier pickled and dried a lot, nearly 200 catties of sausages alone, including more than 100 catties of bacon and a large number of ducks and so on.
If it weren't for the large number of people, Qian Linjue estimated that she would have to eat the Dragon Boat Festival in the second year by herself and Qian Fei'er and other seven angel martial soul owners.
When she thought of the Dragon Boat Festival, Qian Linjue felt strange again, and there was no Qu Yuan in Douluo Continent, how could there be such a strange festival as the Dragon Boat Festival?
He couldn't figure it out.
On the other side, the maid had already served all the dishes and steamed rice, and put a pair of chopsticks on each person.
Qian Linjue picked up the bowl, originally, Qian Fei'er wanted to fill him with a bowl of soup, but Qian Linjue didn't want to drink soup, but directly filled a bowl of rice.
The rice is steaming hot and has some deep, jet-blue lumps on top.
Dirt?
Qian Linjue frowned, and turned her head a little angrily and shouted inside: "Maid? Maid? ”
The maid trotted out of the room in a panic, bowing respectfully and a little frightened.
"Young Master, are you looking for me?"
Qian Linjue pointed at the dark dark blue lump in the bowl with her chopsticks, "What is this?" Do you dare to give such a dirty thing to Young Master Ben? Do you want to die? ”
In the end, Qian Linjue even slapped the table, and the entire kotatsu table shook slightly, and the thick soup in the two cauldrons swayed from side to side, back and forth.
The maid hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed vigorously and begged for mercy.
"The young master spares his life, the young master spares his life, this is ......"
Before she finished speaking, Qian Fei'er hurriedly spoke.
"Lin Jue, this is what I ordered the kitchen to add, it's taro, it's edible, it's not a dirty thing."
"Oh? Taro? ”
Qian Linjue raised her eyebrows, took the bowl to her nose and sniffed it carefully.
The dark dark blue lump exudes a strong aroma with a special taste of taro, and there is no doubt that it is indeed taro.
It turned out that it was, but I blamed her.
Qian Linjue thought in her heart, turned around, and waved her hand arrogantly.
"Okay, you go in, this matter is wrong Young Master Ben, it's none of your business."
"Thank you, Young Master Qian, thank you, Her Royal Highness the Queen......"
The maid hurriedly thanked her, and said several times in a row, before she got up, respectfully stepped back, and retreated from the aisle to the inner room.
The maid left, Qian Linjue turned around and began to eat with vegetables.
Today's menu, although it is roughly the same as the previous day, is a little different.
Among them, there is a plate of dried chili peppers mixed with garlic granules, and there is a kind of strips stewed that Qian Linjue does not know, the strips are somewhat foamed and puffed, just like the hot rice skin made during the New Year, there are small round bubbles on the surface, and the color is also a little similar, all of which are light yellow.
Qian Linjue curiously grabbed a chopstick, put it in the bowl, and tried to eat it.
Because the strips are stewed, they are full of juice and have a strong garlic fragrance, which is very soft and rotten when you chew it.
And at the moment when Qianlinjue chewed it, a strong aroma of pork permeated her mouth.
"What is this?"
Qian Linjue was very curious, and asked with a strip of object.
Qian Fei'er smiled and replied, "This is the pork skin of bacon, I instructed the kitchen to separate the bacon and the pork skin and make a separate dish." ”
