"How can I tell you about this shadowless thing, based on the experience of previous years, the possibility of the troops agreeing is very small, and we have no hope, who knows that this year we will suddenly agree. The houses over there were reserved for the special forces before, and you can't change them if you want to. Even if I tell you in advance and you find a way to change over there, then when the news comes out, you will not be criticized, and maybe some people will speculate whether you went through the back door and operated early, which is not a trivial matter. Xie Xiaonian explained.

"That's it, there was no news in the compound before this incident, it should be a request for secrecy, didn't my sister-in-law know if I didn't read the book? If you are not selected, you can come to my house and Xiao Nian's house in the future? Anyway, you barely spend time at home during the day every day! Zhang Chunping also said.

"Okay, then when the winter is cold, I will have a legitimate reason to stay at Xiao Nian's house often." Chen Xiuhong continued with a smile.

Chen Xiuhong originally complained casually, and did not really complain about Xiao Nian, for her, burning kang and coal are the same.

"It's as if you didn't go to my house for a valid reason before, and I won't let you in." Xie Xiaonian complained.

"No, no, Xiao Nian, you're the best!" Chen Xiuhong took Xiao Nian's arm and said coquettishly, not caring at all how many years older than Xie Xiaonian was.

Before going to bed at night, Xie Xiaonian said to Xu Zhongjun: "Zhongjun, after the kang plate is finished, let's dig a cellar in the yard, so that there is a place to put the radishes, cabbage, potatoes and so on, and there is no need to pile them in the house like last year. ”

"Okay, I'll dig when I'm done with this, and I won't delay harvesting radish and cabbage!" Xu Zhongjun replied cheerfully.

"We don't have too many things, and most of the time the cellar is just a look, just dig a small one." There is space, and the extra things can be stored in the space.

"Well, okay, it's getting cold now, it's time to grow vegetables on the balcony, I'll make some wooden pots for planting vegetables after digging the cellar, and last year's ones won't work." Xu Zhongjun nodded and said.

"Yes, I forgot if you didn't say it! This year, there is a kang at home, and the dishes will definitely grow better than last year! Xie Xiaonian said happily.

The next morning, Xu Zhongjun came back from exercising early in the morning, ate some breakfast casually, and said to Xie Xiaonian, who hadn't gotten up yet: "Daughter-in-law, the rice is warm in the pot, you can get up and eat it after a while, I'll go get the soil first." ”

"So early?" Xie Xiaonian saw that it was still dark outside, and said in a daze.

"The open space outside the compound, there are a lot of stones mixed in it, it's not easy to dig, if you don't go early, it may not be enough in the morning, I'll go first!"

"Then you wear thicker and gloves, it's still cold outside!" Xie Xiaonian also woke up at this time and commanded loudly.

"Well, don't worry, I'm leaving!" Xu Zhongjun kissed Xiao Nian as usual, and went out with a shovel.

After getting up and eating breakfast, he began to clean up the kitchen and dining table, and cleaned up the place where the stove and kang were to be built.

After Xu Zhongjun and the others were busy all morning, they pulled the soil outside the fence courtyard of each house, had a hurried lunch, and then began to pull the bricks and stone slabs of each house again, and then they had to pan the kang again, and since they got up in the morning, they have not been idle.

And after Xie Xiaonian took the children to take a nap, he went to Zhang Chunping's house.

"It's enough to trouble you to let you help fry the hot pot ingredients, what are you doing with things!" Zhang Chunping looked at the things Xie Xiaonian was carrying in his hand and said unhappily.

"This is all useful, the soup used to cook the hot pot is to use the stock, these two bones, just used to cook the soup. The rest are some spices needed to make hot pot, I think your family may not have them, so I brought them all, if you take these things back, you won't be able to eat today's hot pot! Xie Xiaonian said with a smile.

"Well, I really don't have any of these things in my house!" Zhang Chunping has never seen hot pot, how do you know that you still need to cook broth and so many spices!

"Apples, pancakes, you go play with Xiang Hong, mom is going to cook!" Xie Xiaonian said to the two of them.

"What about my sister?" Pancake asked uneasily.

"Just put the green onion on the red bed, I'll let Xiaobai look at it, you guys have fun, don't run around, don't play with scissors, switches and other dangerous things!" Xie Xiaonian instructed.

"Mmmm, I know Mom, I'm going to play!" After saying that, Pancakes, Heping and Xiang Hong went to play on the sofa on the side.

"Xiao Nian, what do I need to do?" After putting the sleeping green onions into the house and arriving at the kitchen, Zhang Chunping said in a circle.

"I don't have much to be busy, I can do it myself, if you're okay, you can follow me to learn how to make hot pot base later, and when you have time in the future, you can cook and eat by yourself!" Xie Xiaonian said.

"Okay, when the time comes, I'll make more ingredients at a time, and it will freeze in winter, and when I don't want to cook, I can wash some vegetables casually, and I can make hot pot!" Zhang Chunping said happily.

"Pour the rapeseed oil into the pan first, and then put the dried chili, peppercorns, fennel, tangerine peel, bay leaves and other spices into the oil pan to soak, the longer you soak, the better! Taking advantage of this time, we can boil the stock first! Xie Xiaonian explained while operating.

"I'll cook the bone broth!" Zhang Chunping said positively.

"Okay, but just put a little less salt and green onion and ginger in the pot, and don't put anything else!" Xie Xiaonian instructed on the side.

After a while, Xie Xiaonian put the ginger and garlic into the soaked oil and boiled over low heat.

"At this time, pay attention to use low heat, and slowly boil out the fragrance of spices, the spicy taste of chili peppers, and the numbness of Sichuan peppers, and you can't boil paste!" Xie Xiaonian explained seriously.

"Don't you put bean paste and rock sugar together?" Zhang Chunping looked at the rest of the things and asked.

"I'll put these two things in a minute!"

In this way, while doing and teaching, in less than 20 minutes, the two of them made the hot pot base with chili peppers, and when the bone broth was boiled, they added it directly to it, and then boiled for a while, and the spicy hot pot base soup was made.

Zhang Chunping thinks that she has learned almost, so if it is not spicy, she will directly operate it herself.

Zhang Chunping has a foundation in cooking, and with Xie Xiaonian's guidance, she can be regarded as doing well.

As soon as the two of them were ready, Wu Shuqin and the others came to Zhang Chunping's house with their things.

"Oh my God, this is so delicious, I want to eat it now!" Chen Xiuhong snorted as soon as she entered the door and said.

"That's it, it's so fragrant, we can smell it from afar!" Wu Shuqin also echoed and said.

"Of course, it doesn't depend on whose hand it is!" Xie Xiaonian said proudly.

"Why did you all bring things here, you have all the dishes at home!" Zhang Chunping looked at the things they were carrying and blamed again.

"Didn't Xiao Nian say that any dish in the hot pot can be soaked, we bring some things that you don't have at home, and it can be regarded as an added dish!" The daughter-in-law of the head of the Zhao regiment raised the basket in her hand and said with a smile.

"That's it, how can you bring nothing to dinner! Since we're all here, let's start washing and chopping vegetables, get ready early, and eat at any time! Wu Shuqin continued.

"Okay, you wash the vegetables, I'll make some noodles, those big people can't eat enough just to eat vegetables!" Zhang Chunping said clearly.

Among these people, Xiao Nian and Zhao's daughter-in-law have eaten hot pot, so the two have obviously become the leaders in the kitchen, directing everyone how to deal with various ingredients.

"Dad, you've got a lot of mud!"

"Dad, why are you so dirty!"

When a few people heard the sound in the living room in the kitchen, they knew that it was the pankang coming!

"Are you guys pretty fast, you've got one so quickly!" Wu Shuqin looked at the person who came and said with a smile.

"That's not it, although I haven't done it for so many years, but I haven't forgotten the craft at all!" He Shulin smiled and continued.

"It's almost time for dinner, I'll move things to the living room and cover it, and you can start panning the kang!"

A few people stayed in the kitchen and got in the way, so they hurriedly made room.

Xie Xiaonian's house and here are at the same time, and after moving the kitchen meals to the living room, Xie Xiaonian will go home with pancakes first, and he can't work hard for his own kang, but there is no one at home who pours water.

When Xie Xiaonian arrived home, he saw that Xu Zhongjun, Head Zhao and Zhang Fengyu had already started.

The kang is still very good, you only need to use bricks to build the wall between the kang, cover it with a flat stone slab, and then use mud on the top of the stone slab to smooth it, and after the mud is dry, you can spread the kang mat and use it.

A few people had already made one just now, and even Head Zhao was a lot more proficient in it, and in less than 2 hours, Xie Xiaonian's kang and stove were completed.

Now that it's cold, it is obviously impossible to wait for the stove and kang to dry naturally, so after the construction is completed, Xie Xiaonian first got a briquette and put it in the stove, accelerated the drying, and then went to Zhang Chunping's house for dinner with the loyal army who had changed clothes.

Originally, Zhang Chunping planned to let everyone eat in the kitchen, but Xinlei's stove should be used with extra care, and there were so many children at home, so he was afraid that the bricks on it would loosen and hit the children, so he had to let Xu Zhongjun move the coal stove at home, and everyone made hot pot in the living room together.

"Xiuhong, can't you eat spicy food, why have you been eating spicy dishes today!" Even if Xie Xiaonian is afraid that everyone will not be used to it, the spicy pot is not too spicy, but it is not something that Chen Xiuhong can eat, does she have it? Xie Xiaonian said suspiciously.

"That's it, Xiao Nian, I didn't even find out if you didn't say it, usually she even thinks green peppers are spicy!" Wu Shuqin also said suspiciously, and after finishing speaking, she glanced at Chen Xiuhong's stomach a few times with great experience, and coincided with Xie Xiaonian's thoughts.
