Yuan Xiu ran over with great interest, looked down, and saw an inexplicable thing drawn on the piece of straw paper in Jiangxi, a bit like a pot, and a bit like a stove, and was immediately dumbfounded.

"Eh, Jiangxi, you're not writing, but your words are good, but I don't understand what it is." Yuan Xiu touched his head, looking embarrassed.

In fact, Jiang Xi was even more embarrassed than him at this time, people thought she was writing, but what she saw when she ran over was something that didn't look like it.

With a cough, Jiang Xi blew the ink on the straw paper dry.

"Didn't you still ask me before, what exactly is hot pot, and when this thing is made, you will know."

She took the sketch and made a trip to the blacksmith's shop.

It just so happened that there was a blacksmith in the village, so Jiangxi didn't go to the town.

She took the drawings and told them that they must use copper, and gave twenty pieces of silver as a deposit.

The blacksmith took the money, and although he didn't understand what she was going to do, he took over the business.

It was the blacksmith's daughter-in-law, who pursed her lips and said, "Now these people, with a few money, have to get all kinds of strange things, look at it, sooner or later, their family will let her be ruined!" ”

She said this after Jiang Xi left, otherwise, Jiang Xi would have to think about this single business, and whether to hand it over to her man.

The blacksmith glanced at his daughter-in-law helplessly, and sighed: "Okay, you just don't say a word, your mouth is about to offend people, the people in the village are now repairing something, and many of them are going to the town, why don't you know how to change it."

People are also here to give us business, so don't say these things again. ”

After speaking, the blacksmith looked at the drawing seriously, remembered the precautions that Jiang Xi said just now, he took a piece of brass from home, and was about to start making it.

His daughter-in-law looked at him like that, snorted, and turned her head to feed the chickens.

When he came back from the blacksmith's side, Jiang Xi was nestled in his room, and it was simply too cold now.

Seeing that there was a sun, I went out for a trip, but I was still frozen into a dog.

The door of her courtyard was tightly closed, and at this time, the old man and the old lady were also on the kang in the house, and the two old men were getting older and becoming more afraid of getting colder than last year.

The old lady was doing needlework in bed, she planned to make a pair of thick-soled shoes for her old man, and there happened to be cotton bought by Jiangxi from the county seat.

The old man was in a daze on the sidelines, always thinking back to the conversation with Dr. Yuan that day.

Until now, he didn't dare to think that the person who harmed Dr. Yuan would actually be that person. What did he do wrong to raise such a brute!

"Alas!"

After the old man sighed a few times, the old lady who had been silent spoke: "I said you, what are you sighing, now we have such a good life, I didn't see you like this last year, and I sighed this year."

What's wrong, is our granddaughter treating you badly, or is our daughter-in-law not filial? ”

The old man shook his head and said: "The granddaughter must be good, and the daughter-in-law is even more rare filial piety. ”

The old lady agreed, "That's it, then you still sigh." ”

The old man didn't speak, and what did he tell his wife about that incident. Let's keep this secret in the first place.

Li was busy with lunch in the kitchen, and Jiang Xi and Yuan Xiu had planned to help before, but she kicked them out.

In Li's words, she is a person who is used to work, just cooking, where to use someone to help, and the fire is also warm, and she is not worried about freezing.

In winter, there are not so many stir-fried vegetables, and it happened that the neighbor sent a few white radishes early in the morning, and Li simply bought some big bones to stew.

Drink bone broth in winter, which is warm and healthy.

The staple food is still steamed with cornmeal, which is steamed a lot in the morning, and it is made of the day's amount, and it can be eaten at noon with only one hot heat.

The big bones had to be stewed for a long time, and Li sat in front of the stove to light the fire, while holding the soles of his shoes.

This pair of soles is for Yuan Xiuna, the child is still wearing autumn shoes, not warm and a little old, Li sincerely thinks that he is his own child, the first thing is naturally to make him a pair of shoes.

The bone broth in the pot kept boiling, and after a while, Li had to add some water to it. Stewing vegetables in this big iron pot is very water-intensive, but when stewed, it is extraordinarily fragrant.

At noon, after a pause of about two hours, Li Shi lifted the lid of the pot, and suddenly a fragrant smell came to the surface.

Standing at the door of the kitchen, Li shouted at Jiangxi.

"Xi'er, tell your master that they're cooking!"

was facing a clueless river stream on the kang, quickly got up, raised his voice by the way, and replied: "Haole! ”

When Jiang Xi came out of the house, Yuan Xiu had already come to the kitchen.

"Aunt Li, I'll serve it." Watching Li scoop up a big bowl of bone broth, Yuan Xiu walked over without saying a word, and went to the room where he ate.

Subsequently, Jiangxi also walked in, and Li picked up a number of steamed buns from the pot and put them in a large porcelain basin, taking advantage of the gap between Li taking the steamed buns, Jiangxi washed five bowls, took Wushuang chopsticks, and also rushed into the eating room.

"Huhu~ It's so cold outside!" Jiang Xi said as he divided the dishes and chopsticks, and the old man washed his hands with the water in the basin at the door, and they all walked in.

"It's bone broth today, not bad!" Smelling the fragrant bone broth, smiles bloomed on the faces of the two old men.

Especially the old lady, at this time last year, their family did not have food to eat, but this year they can eat meat every day, and the days are simply too beautiful.

Li picked the two bones with the most meat to the old man and the old lady respectively, and then he had to give them to Jiangxi and Yuan Xiu, but Jiang Xi held the bowl and refused to give it.

"Mother, I want to pick it myself!"

Yuan Xiu was a little embarrassed, he ate and lived in Jiangxi's house, but he couldn't eat the best meat, so he didn't hand over the bowl for a long time. In the end, there was no way, and after being persuaded by the old man and them, Li ate the bone full of meat.

The white radish was stewed in the bone broth, and the chopsticks softened as soon as they went, and Jiang Xi picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. When you bite into it, the radish is full of bone broth and tastes delicious.

"It's delicious." She licked the corners of her mouth in satisfaction, thinking that it would be nice if she could add some kelp and lotus root to it.

It's a pity that the kelp at home was eaten before, and she forgot to buy it for so long. The lotus root is far away from them, mainly not planted here, and they can still eat some in the autumn, but in the winter no one transports it at all.

Why?

Cold!

On such a day, even the chickens and ducks have to be shrunk in the house, and no vendor will bring those things over, and he will not make a lot of money.

After lunch, Li made a big pot of water, and Jiang Xi washed the dishes with her.

At this time, the water in the stove had not been extinguished, Jiang Xi looked at the sparkling flames, and suddenly remembered the roasted sweet potatoes and baked potatoes he had eaten at his grandmother's house in his previous life.

"It would be nice to be able to bake one." She sighed, but knew it was impossible.

She has been here for almost half a year, but she has not even seen the noodles of sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes, let alone heard of it.

Li listened to her muttering on the side, and thought she was not full.

"Xi'er, do you want to eat baked steamed buns? Why don't you bake one for you now? ”

Grilled steamed buns? Jiang Xi was stunned for a moment, looked at the remaining steamed buns in the pot, and then looked at the stove beside him, and saliva was secreting in his mouth.

Li Shi smiled when he saw her like that: "You kid, why didn't you say it just now if you weren't full." Come, let Rang Niang, Niang bake two for you, and later you will take one to Yuan Xiu, the child doesn't seem to have eaten much, and he is too shy. ”

Jiang Xi happily stepped out of the way and touched his stomach by the way.

She didn't find it without touching Jiangxi, but when she touched it, she suddenly realized that she had grown a lot of meat in the past six months.

I still remember that when I first came over, I was about to starve to death, and I was so thin that I was only skinny and bones.

In just half a year, she grew a circle of flesh all over her body, and her little face became ruddy.

The biggest change is that her former dry and yellow hair has now turned into a dense black, and she looks healthy.

Belly, it seems that there is a lot of meat, or will you wait or not eat?

Just as he was thinking about it, the fragrance of roasted steamed buns came over, and the tip of Jiangxi's nose moved slightly, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Whatever! Now that she is still growing her body, it is still good to eat more!

The steamed buns are baked quickly, after all, they are hot in themselves, and they are just a layer of roasted yellow and crispy outside.

The two baked steamed buns came out of the oven, and Jiangxi's saliva was about to flow down, and Li teased: "Hurry up and wipe it, look at you like this, how can you look like you haven't eaten for several days." ”

As soon as the words fell, Li himself was stunned first.

She remembered last winter, and the saddest period of the first half of the year.

At that time, let alone not eating for a few days, Jiangxi may not have been able to get rice and noodles for a month, all of them were wild vegetables, and he almost starved to death.

Reaching out and touching Jiang Xi's head, Li's eyes showed a loving light, she would never let her family bear it again, especially this hard-working daughter.

smiled and said, "Xi'er, go eat, don't get cold." ”

Jiang Xi actually noticed something unusual, but she didn't break it, and saying it would only make Li even more uncomfortable. Anyway, they are better off now, and that time can only be in the past.

took the baked steamed bun to share with Yuan Xiu, the two sat at the table and laughed and ate, a long-lost warmth appeared in Yuan Xiu's heart, and even with the eyes looking at Jiang Xi, they were also slightly different.
