After boiling braised pork overnight, the family was tired, so they went back to the house early to rest, and Jiang and Xiao Tie Dan also fell asleep.

Yu Wan lay on the bed, tossing and turning and unable to sleep.

It was snowing again, quietly, but also cold.

Yu Wan touched the slightly thin quilt on her body, she was busy making money these days, and she didn't have a chance to buy, and when she finished Miss Bai's business, she took A-Niang and her younger brother to the town to buy a good trip.

When it came to New Year's goods, Yu Wan suddenly remembered Daddy who was far away at the border, and she couldn't sleep anymore.

She simply got out of bed, got dressed, and went to the stove house with an oil lamp.

The stove house was not as shabby as it had been when she first arrived, with rice in the bowl, noodles in the cupboard, spices and salt, a few radishes and cabbages in the basket in the corner of the wall, a few fresh wild crucian carp in the wooden barrel, and of course the bacon hanging on the wall and on the stove.

These bacon are marinated by the uncle himself, dried in the stove house, usually ventilated, and smoked when cooking, only after a day, the salty taste is not obvious, and the meat is still relatively fresh.

Yu Wan cut a piece of good hind leg meat, the meat here is fat and thin, but not too fatty, very suitable for meatballs.

But that wasn't enough, she cut some of the forelegs, rumps, and pork.

She remembers that in her previous life, her aunt liked meatballs made of pork meat, saying that the meat was more tender.

After chopping the meat, she puts the sliced ginger, garlic, and green onion foam into the meat foam, along with a few fresh wild eggs, and then mixes in soy sauce, starch, snowflake salt, sesame oil, and pepper.

She moved quickly, and after a while, she was disturbed.

She took out a large bowl of sesame oil, sesame oil is too expensive, usually she still eats lard, but this time, she poured a drop of sesame oil into the pot.

In the oil pan, the aroma of fried meatballs soon wafted out.

After making the meatballs, she took out the white noodles from the cupboard again and began to make flatbread.

The fire of the stove house burned until the sky was bright.

Yu Wan wiped the sweat from her forehead, this hour, it was almost time for breakfast.

Yu Wan used the unfinished ingredients to make a few vegetable meat and green onion burritos, Jiang and Xiao Tie Dan hadn't woken up yet, so she sent them over from the old house first.

Because they were going to the town to buy ingredients for business, the family got up early, and when they saw Yu Wan coming, several people were surprised.

"Why do you wake up so early?" The aunt who opened the door asked.

Yu Wan handed the burritos in the basket forward, and said with a smile: "Auntie is early, you haven't eaten breakfast yet, right?" I made a few burritos, and you guys took them to fill your stomach. ”

At this time, the uncle and Yu Feng brothers had just finished washing up and also walked towards this side.

When I heard that she was here to deliver cakes, my face turned white with fright!

"Oops, I think I forgot to put salt."

The pale faces of several people came back.

"I also cooked a lot of dishes for Daddy...... Thankfully, I didn't forget to put those. ”

The blood on their faces finally faded again......

……

After breakfast, Yu Wan and the Yu Song brothers stepped on the ox cart to the town.

"Do you really want to bring something to the third uncle?" Yu Song walked beside the ox cart, looked at Yu Wan and the vegetable jar on the ox cart and asked.

Yu Feng led the cow in front.

Yu Wan nodded: "Yes, we are all going to celebrate the New Year, I hope Daddy can also have a good New Year." ”

"I can't get it." Yu Song muttered.

When the third uncle left, he said that he would write to them when he arrived at the border pass, but six years have passed, and they have not received any news from the third uncle, and there is no reply to the letter they wrote to the third uncle.

Sometimes, they all suspect that the third uncle has met with misfortune.

But they heard that even if the sacrificed soldiers could not bring back the remains, they would try to bring back the iron plaques with their names engraved on them.

They didn't receive the iron plate from the third uncle, so they treated the third uncle as if he was still alive.

"Daddy will definitely receive it." Yu Wan hugged the jar in her arms and said with a determined face.

Yu Song opened his mouth, trying to persuade her not to be stupid, but as soon as the words reached her lips, she received a warning look from her brother and closed her mouth stupidly.

Yu Feng continued to drive the ox cart, and his feet stepped deep into the snow: "Go buy vegetables first, after buying, Xiao Song will drive the ox cart back, and I will take you to the post station." ”

Yu Wan curled the corners of her lips: "Okay." ”

The ingredients in the morning are the freshest, but if you don't pull them back immediately after buying them, it is easy to affect the texture and taste of the pickled vegetables, and the uncle's requirements for the ingredients are very high.

The three of them went to the vegetable market in the town, where the ingredients were much more expensive than those in the market, but thinking of the price offered by Miss Bai, they felt that it would not hurt to spend more money.

I bought a little fresh pork, mutton, chicken, duck, and vegetarian dishes, and today I didn't make a banquet, but sent it to Miss Bai to try.

Yu Song pulled a cart of ingredients back to the village.

Yu Wan went to buy a thick cotton coat and a box of the best frostbite cream she could buy in town.

It's so cold at the border, these dads should be able to use it.

Out of the Lotus Town to the north, walk ten miles is a post station, this post station is the largest post station outside the capital, the main for the exchange of official letters, unofficial letters and materials, as long as they can afford it, they can also receive it here.

Today's post houses are overcrowded, some feed the horses, some change horses, and some rest and stay.

"Over there." Yu Feng led Yu Wan to a place on the right hand side of the post station.

Yu Wan saw that there were three carriages here, the first two carriages were full, but the last one was still mostly empty.

"This is going to the Northwest Camp." Yu Feng pointed to the emblem on the wheel and said.

"Is it far from here to the Northwest Camp?" Yu Wan asked.

"They take the official road and are not afraid of going far." As if guessing Yu Wan's worries, Yu Feng said again, "The weather is cold, and things can be stored for a long time." ”

"Hmm." Yu Wan nodded, I don't know if it was because the ancient ecology was not destroyed, there was no greenhouse effect, she felt that the winter here was extremely cold, and she was also well sealed.

An envoy with a whip approached, intending to hit the road.

Yu Feng stopped him: "This little brother, we want to bring something." ”

He said that he was a piggyback, but in fact he also wanted to give silver.

"Where's it going?" The messenger asked.

Yu Feng said: "Take it to the northwest camp." ”

"Northwest Battalion, come here." The envoy took the brother and sister to the third carriage, "This is the last trip of the year, what a coincidence you came, how many things are there?" ”

Yu Feng looked at the big jar in his arms, then at the two small jars that Yu Wan was holding, and said, "Just these three, and the burden on my back." ”

"On the last trip, the price was more expensive than usual." The envoy said.

Yu Feng glanced at Yu Wan and said, "Okay." ”

The post press hand.

Yu Feng put the jar in his and his sister's arms.

The messenger was about to collect the money, when a carriage came at the door, and a small man jumped out of the carriage and hurried towards it.

The little servant called the messenger aside, and he didn't know what he said, but the envoy's brows furrowed, and when he came back, he said with a look of embarrassment, "You can't carry your things." ”

"Why?" Yu Wan asked.

The messenger glanced at the carriage, and saw the servant and the coachman carrying one box after another from the cart.

The messenger said, "See? I can't fit those things, where is there a place for you? ”

Yu Wan looked solemn and said, "We came first." ”

The envoy looked at her amusedly and said, "Do you know who it's a New Year's gift for?" The newly promoted generals of the Holy Lord's Gui Delang are all personally selected by the daughters of the General's Mansion, and those who know each other should hurry up and take your things back! ”
