Chapter 66: The Winter Solstice
Seeing that the end of the year is approaching, the weather is getting colder and colder. This northern winter, before November ends, begins to be cold and frightening.
Yang Xu's steamed bun shop business has no impact, everyone will buy breakfast when they go to buy things on the street, and it is also good to eat some steamed buns and drink some soy milk.
On the contrary, the newly added Hu spicy soup in Yang Xu's breakfast shop is very popular, the weather is cold, drink a bowl of Hu spicy soup, and the whole person is warm.
A few days ago, Wang Dayi had already finished the kang, and the bed was replaced with a thick quilt. It's not cold to sleep at night.
Because it was too cold at night, Yang Xu didn't make dumplings at night, the cold wind was blowing outside, and at night, everyone didn't go to the street very much.
Therefore, when steaming buns in the morning, take steamed dumplings, fried dumplings and dumplings with you.
Yang Xu began to knit scarves, sweaters, and gloves in the spare time in the evening. Knit a little bit every day, and it will be done very quickly.
Tianbao has not yet had a holiday, and it is very cold on the road every morning and evening, Yang Xu is the first to knit for him, two scarves, a pair of woolen gloves that leak fingers, and writing is not delayed. A pair of gloves with cotton added to them, the kind that can be stuffed into the whole hand, are kept for the road.
The sweater was worn inside, which was not very noticeable, so Yang Xu took the woolen sweater in the space. She couldn't weave this, but it was very warm.
In fact, Yang Xu also changed into a down jacket and thermal underwear in the space. But thermal underwear can be taken out and worn inside. Down jackets are not good.
Yang Xu made two sets of cotton clothes and pants for Tianbao, both of which were made of new cotton, and the warmth was still very warm. Yang Xu also prepared cotton boots for everyone in the family, which were made of leather with a layer of fur inside, which was waterproof and warm.
If it's snowing, your shoes and socks won't get wet.
The family's donkey cart has also been improved, and the carriage has been covered in front. In this way, the people in the back are warm, and the people in front of the car will not get wet.
Tempo still runs every morning and then eats breakfast. After this toss, the whole person is not cold.
Then put on gloves and put on a big scarf, which can cover the whole face, and it is not cold at all. Then I straddled the bag and went to school.
"Wow, it's so cold! Tempo, what are you wearing? "
Although Li Tutu was fat, he was very afraid of the cold, and when he ran all the way to the school in the morning, his hands and face were frozen. The whole face was red from the wind.
Then he saw that Yang Tianbao's face was also red, but he was obviously hot!
"It's my sister's scarf, and this cotton glove." When I got to the house, it was quite warm.
Seeing that Li Tutu was very curious, Tianbao handed him the scarf and gloves to see.
"Wow! It's so warm, and it's good-looking. "The scarf is sky blue, knitted with wool, and the pattern is beautiful.
Li Tutu couldn't put it down with a scarf and gloves, and he really wanted one of these! Why isn't Sister Yang his sister!
No matter how good it is, it's someone else's, Li Tutu returned the scarf and gloves to Tianbao.
"I still have a scarf, if you like it, I'll go back and get it for you." Tianbao looked at Li Tutu's reluctant little eyes, a little funny.
My sister knitted two for him, and one was gray, so if Li Tutu really wanted it, give it to him!
Uncle Li has a good relationship with his family, and I heard my sister say that the meat bought from Uncle Li is the purchase price. And Li Tutu also has a good relationship with himself.
"Really? You're really going to give it to me! Li Tututu's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Really, I'll bring it to you tomorrow, or will you go to our house in the evening and get it?"
"I, I'll go over and get it at night, it's not too far anyway." Li Tutu said happily.
Li Tutu was happy, and there was a river next to him who was looking at him.
Tianbao supports his forehead, he has nothing to spare! Why don't you talk to your sister and make him one too?
"Tianbao, what are you bringing today?" Li Tutu aimed at Tianbao's book bag, there must be a snack inside!
"Gingerbread and cat ears." Tianbao's face was expressionless, he was used to it, and Li Tutu would ask himself every day.
"NEW! Isn't it delicious? "This is a new variety, I've never heard of it, I don't know if it's delicious.
"Well, you'll find out by tasting it yourself."
The weather is getting colder and colder, and Yang Xu begins to think of new dim sum. The gingerbread is made with ginger, which is ground into a powder, then brown sugar flour is added, and then baked biscuits.
Ginger and brown sugar are both cold wards, so it's just right to eat this in winter!
There are also cat ears, which are made with chili powder, the spicy and crunchy kind, which is also eaten to help sweat.
"I love this cat ear, it's spicy and delicious! The gingerbread has the taste of ginger, I don't like ginger, but Sister Yang's gingerbread is also delicious. "
"Ginger can keep out the cold, if you are so afraid of the cold, you should eat more ginger. You can bring some ginger tea, and it will warm up after drinking. "
Li Tutu puffed out his mouth, he didn't like the taste of ginger!
"I think gingerbread is delicious, and I happened to bring ginger tea today. I'll bring you a lot, so I'll give you some to drink. Jiang He said with a smile.
"No, no, I like to drink plain water." Li Tutu hurriedly shook his head. He didn't want to drink ginger tea, it tasted so strange!
……
After Tianbao went home, he told Yang Xu about the scarf, and he said that he gave Li Tutu one.
"These scarves and gloves are not difficult to make, I will go back and knit them for them. It will be done very quickly. "
The sweater is relatively slow, in fact, the scarf gloves are still very easy to make, and Yang Xu can knit a pair of gloves between eating and sleeping at night.
"My sister is very busy every day, and I still trouble my sister, so I think it's not good." Tianbao didn't say that he would give Jiang He, nor did he say that this is the reason why he asked his sister to give Li Tutu another one.
My sister is busy with things in the shop during the day, and knitting scarves, gloves and sweaters at night is made for herself first.
My sister's own and my brother-in-law's share hasn't been completely done yet! How could he trouble his sister again!
Because his sister had worked hard to weave the scarf, he gave it to Li Tutu, so he would say it to his sister. But I don't want my sister to be too busy.
"It's okay, I'm done with your brother-in-law's share, even if you don't say it, I'll weave it again." Yesterday, it was prepared for my father-in-law and eldest brother. It's not hard, it's warm in the house, so I'll weave it by hand, very quickly. "
Yang Xu comforted that Tianbao and Li Tutu Jianghe have a good relationship, and Uncle Li has a good relationship with his family. Jiang He's father and mother have also seen it, and they are all good people.
So, knitting a scarf and gloves for their two children is nothing.
