————————

After the beginning of winter, there were several heavy snowfalls. Dongshan Village has completely entered the state of cat winter. After the wolves were wiped out, every night there was a big gray patrol with two stupid sons to stand guard, and calm was restored at the foot of the western mountain. The Liu family of five returned to live in their new house.

The courtyard to the west of the Yu family was completely idle after the king of Yangjun returned to Beijing. Lao Yutou moved into the side house of the west courtyard, saying that he was helping to take care of this courtyard. Yu Hai and his wife persuaded him to live in the main house, but he stubbornly refused.

As soon as winter came, Yu Xiaocao began to toss again. She asked her father to make a lot of shallow wooden boxes, dug up a lot of fertile black soil from the pond and put them in, and then put the wooden boxes on all the uninhabited kangs, and sprinkled some vegetable seeds into them. The house is heated by a kang every day, which is naturally warm like spring, and there is spiritual stone water to promote the growth of plants, vegetable seeds quickly germinate and grow leaves, and the wooden box shows a lush green color.

The old man was overjoyed. Who can grow green vegetables in winter? His little granddaughter is really extraordinary! This little old man, since he came to the old house, under the filial piety of his son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren, his illness was quickly cured, and his body recovered quickly. Lao Yutou now feels that his body is full of vitality, and he seems to be a young teenager, and he has endless energy.

The vegetables in the two main rooms and several side rooms in the west courtyard are carefully taken care of by the old man every day. The firewood in the firewood room was piled up, and in addition to some of the dead branches that the Yu family had cut down from the mountain, some of them were bought with money. When buying firewood, the old man was still a little distressed, thinking that firewood was all over the mountain, and he would cut it back when he used it, so what did he spend money for? Besides, there is enough firewood cut back at home, where can I burn it when I buy so much firewood? Now it seems that Xiaocao's girl planned to plant vegetables on the kang in the autumn.

Lao Yutou felt that this winter was quite fulfilling, and checked the stove at least seven or eight times a day, for fear that the fire in the stove would be extinguished and his vegetables would be frozen. However, for watering, the little grass girl specially instructed him to use the water in the water tank in the main house. The water tank in the main house is placed next to the stove, and the temperature is right, so that the delicate vegetables will not freeze.

In fact, every day after Yu Hai filled the water tank, Yu Xiaocao would drip a few drops of spirit stone liquid in it.

In the east courtyard, there are three main houses, Yu Hai and his wife have an opinion, Xiaocao and Xiaolian sisters sleep in one, and Yu Hang and Xiaoshi sleep in one. The rest of the side rooms are planted with vegetables as long as there are kang rooms. The kang in the main house is relatively large, and one kang can sleep five or six adults. In order not to waste resources, the kang is separated, and a wooden box with vegetables is placed on the side of the sleeping person.

Since Lao Yutou moved back to the old house, his eldest brother Yu Lichun often came to visit him. After the winter, there was nothing to do, the women and children at home were washing and preparing for the New Year, Yu Lichun couldn't help much, so he came out for a walk. Walking and walking, he turned into the old house of the Yu family.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw my brother holding firewood and lighting the kang in each house. Yu Lichun frowned slightly, and asked loudly: "I said the third child, what are you burning every house on the kang in broad daylight?" Is it easy for kids to get some firewood? What are you following with the misfortune? ”

Old Yu Tou glanced back at his eldest brother, continued to add firewood to several stoves, and then beckoned to Yu Lichun mysteriously, and said, "Big brother, if you go into the house and take a look, you will know why I am burning the kang!" ”

Yu Lichun followed his brother into the door of the main house, lifted the thick wolfskin curtain, and the verdant color on the kang was close to people's eyes. He stood still, blinking vigorously, only to find that the green was not his dazzle, it was still there.

"This ...... Is this a vegetable? Leeks, garlic sprouts, baby greens, spinach, snow ferns...... Third, you grew all these vegetables? There was some uncertainty in Yu Lichun's trembling voice.

Old Yu was amused by the eldest brother's surprised expression, he smiled and said, "How can I have that ability?" It was made by Xiaocao and her father, and I just helped take care of it. Big brother, you see that this box of leeks is about to be able to cut a stubble, when I am young, I will cut a handful for you and send it over, and let my sister-in-law give you dumplings with leeks and wild boar! ”

The two wild boars of the Yu family have grown to more than 100 catties after winter, and before the king of Yangjun returned to Beijing, he asked the butcher in the next village to help kill them, and several brothers of the old Yu family and the Liu family of Xishan Village each sent ten catties of wild boar. There was also wolf meat in the ice cellar, and a few catties were also given to the relatives and families. Therefore, Yu Lichun's family can have a fat year even if they don't buy meat.

Yu Lichun was not polite to him, and said happily: "That dare is good!" I love to eat pork dumplings with leeks. Third, take good care of it, I'll just wait to eat the leeks you grow! ”

Lao Yutou proudly showed off: "These are nothing, the wing room in the east courtyard is planted with peppers, tomatoes and eggplants. Xiaocao takes care of me more carefully than me, those vegetables have already bloomed, it is estimated that I can eat tomato scrambled eggs and eggplant roast meat before the Chinese New Year! Big brother, don't talk about it! We don't grow many vegetables, if it is known, the east family borrows leeks, and the west family borrows a few peppers, we will not have enough to eat! ”

Yu Lichun glanced at him and said, "Are you stupid to be a big brother?" Do you still need to be reminded? He looked around a few rooms in the west courtyard again, and came out with his hands behind his back with satisfaction. In a few days, it will be a small year, and he can eat dumplings stuffed with leeks in winter, which really makes him look forward to it! If the leeks are abundant, ask the mother-in-law to make him a few leek boxes and add eggs...... After Yu Lichun came out of the Yu family's old house, the smile on his face never stopped, and when he met the villagers in the village and asked him what he was happy about, he was vaguely fooled. The third child said that this matter is still known by his own family, and he can't publicize it to the outside world.

The north still attaches more importance to the small year, and the Wednesday Shao has been running around since this year, rarely returning to Tanggu Town, and occasionally coming back once will stay for three or five days before leaving. Before the New Year, he also returned to Tanggu, and only went out on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and spent the New Year with his mother!

Yu Xiaocao heard that Wednesday was back, so he cut a box of leeks, and made two catties of each of the other vegetables that could be picked, put them in a bamboo basket, and covered them with a quilt to avoid freezing. In order to show her importance to this friend and partner, she personally drove the little donkey cart the day before the new year, pulled up the basket with vegetables, and sent it to Wednesday.

The Zhou family is one of the best families in Tanggu Town, the two rooms of the Zhou family are next to each other, but they are all independent courtyards, and the second rooms of the three young families are relatively smaller. However, the second room is currently two people, the mother of the third child and the third lesser, and the house is spacious. Speaking of Sanshao, his mother is also quite pitiful, in the days when Sanshao goes out, she guards the huge yard alone, which must be quite lonely. It's no wonder that Wednesday Shao hit the idea on the roe deer of the Xiaocao family, having a pet can send some loneliness and loneliness, isn't it?

Yu Xiaocao parked the donkey cart next to the small door of the second room of the Zhou family and knocked on the door of the Zhou family. Yu Xiaocao has been with Wednesday for more than two years, and usually meets in Zhenyulou, but has never been to the door of Zhou's house. Therefore, after the concierge opened the door, he looked at Xiaocao for a moment and asked, "Little girl, who are you looking for?" ”

Yu Xiaocao showed a sweet and well-behaved smile and said softly: "Hello, I'm looking for Zhou Zixu on Wednesday, may I ask if he is at home or in Zhenyulou?" ”

The porter glanced at her suspiciously, what is this teenage girl doing here to find his young master? At a young age, it's like clinging to his young master? Don't look at what he looks like, his young master's current worth, how can any cat or dog be matched?

"My young master won't see you, hurry up and go where you are!" The porter thought that she wanted to climb the dragon and the phoenix, and there was some impatience in her tone.

Yu Xiaocao's smile froze on his face for two seconds, gradually faded, looked at the concierge steadily, and said, "You didn't go to tell me, how do you know that Wednesday Shao will not see me?" When will the concierge of the Zhou family be able to be the master's home? ”

The porter was a little flustered by her intimidating gaze, but he still thought he was very dutiful and said: "Our young master, how can you see a cat or a dog if you want to see it?" Hurry up, and I'll make trouble for you again! ”

Yu Xiaocao is happy, people often say that "the king of Hades is easy to provoke, and the little ghost is difficult", the ancients did not deceive me! She was about to say something, but she heard a familiar voice from behind: "Miss Yu? How did you end up here? ”

When I turned around, I saw the big shopkeeper of Zhenyulou and looked at her with surprise. Yu Xiaocao pouted and said with a little grievance: "My family planted some vegetables on the kang, thinking that there would be no vegetables to eat in winter, so I sent some to Wednesday." I didn't expect to even be able to get in! I knew that the threshold of the Zhou family was so high, so I didn't bother to come over and touch the nails! ”

The porter saw that the big shopkeeper was very polite to the little girl, and secretly wondered in his heart: What is the origin of this little girl? Did he mess with the wrong people?

The big shopkeeper glared at the porter and said, "Who gave you the right to intercept the guests on your own initiative?" Miss Yu is a noble person from the Shaodong family, if you drive people away, you will stay in the Zhou family to the end! Why don't you hurry up and tell the three young people? ”

When the porter heard this, he couldn't wait for his parents to give him two more legs. Where did he think that a little girl dressed in an ordinary piece would be a distinguished guest of the three young people? Listening to the tone of the big shopkeeper, the master attaches great importance to the little girl! In order to atone for the crime, let's run faster!

When the porter panted and announced "Miss Yu is visiting", Wednesday Shao, who was talking to his mother, suddenly stood up from his chair and looked slightly excited.

Mrs. Tuesday looked at her son, who was a little out of shape, and asked with a chuckle: "This Miss Yu, could it be the noble person in Xu'er's mouth?" ”

Wednesday Shao smiled slightly, and said with nostalgia in his eyes: "Yes! At the beginning, his son just couldn't see the shopkeeper of Fu Linmen deceiving the Yu family brothers and sisters, and he helped each other, but he didn't expect to meet the noble person in his son's life. In her hand, there was a remnant of a recipe left by the previous dynasty, oyster sauce, roast chicken, roast duck...... Almost all of the dishes that make money in our Zhenyulou are created by Miss Yu based on the remnants. ”
