Yuan Wangyuan, Liu Yu, and Gao Wentian chimed in, praising Wei Ruo's mutton soup and naan, saying that it was the most delicious mutton soup and cake they had ever tasted.

Xu Fengyuan didn't speak, but his eyes fell on Wei Ruo's body from time to time, and from the way he ate naan and soup, it could be seen that he was also very satisfied with this lunch.

Wei Yichen was also silent, his eyes were deep, and he seemed to have something on his mind.

Since that escape, his whole body has become deeper, so it is not strange for him to look like this, whether it is Wei Ruo or his classmates and friends.

In the end, Wei Ruo's pot of mutton soup was eaten by several people, and there was not even a drop of soup left.

The snow was still falling, and the snow around was getting thicker and thicker, and only the shed that Wei Ruo had erected was an exception in this vast land.

After eating and drinking, Xu Fengyuan proposed, "Let's go get some bamboo to reinforce this shed." ”

Xu Fengyuan was worried that as the wind and snow increased, the shed built by Wei Ruo might not be able to support it.

Lu Yuhong was the first to respond: "I'll go with you." ”

Yuan Wangyuan, Liu Yu and Gao Wentian seconded.

Then they went to cut a large amount of bamboo and reinforced the shed with the rope on Wei Ruo's carriage.

Wei Ruo saw that a few people had made bamboo, but clumsily tied the bamboo to the shed she had built, so she started to help.

"Ruo'er, let's do it." Wei Yichen said.

"If you do this, the structure of the whole shed will be unstable, and the wind and snow may be heavier at night, and it will be more troublesome if the shed collapses, especially you."

Wei Ruo and Xiumei had carriages to protect them from the wind and snow, and even if the shed collapsed, it would have no effect, so at the beginning, Wei Ruo and Xiumei were relatively simple and rough when they built the shed.

But now with Wei Yichen and Xu Fengyuan, their situation is different.

As he spoke, Wei Ruoli took out a firewood knife and split the light bamboo, which was only the thickness of his thumb, into several equal parts, and then separated the green and flexible part of the outer layer of the light bamboo and the white bamboo fiber part of the inner layer.

Seeing this, Xiumei also walked over, neatly used a part of the bamboo to build the frame on the side of the shed, and then took the bamboo she had just processed from Wei Ruo's hand, and woven the green and flexible outer skin part on top of the frame.

Looking at the skillful movements and tacit cooperation of the master and servant, Lu Yuhong and the others couldn't help but feel ashamed.

A few of them are not as good at working as two women!

Lu Yuhong said anxiously: "Big girl, if you don't do this, you command, and we will do it." ”

Lu Yuhong also knew that the few of them really didn't know how to build a reinforced shed without Wei Ruo, but it was really impossible for him to let the two girls' families work and a group of big men watching him from the side.

"Yes, Miss Wei, you just let us come, although we don't understand very well, but if you open your mouth, we will do it." Yuan Wangyuan seconded.

Wei Ruo stopped, raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Yuhong and the others, and was not polite to them: "Okay, you guys will get it." ”

Wei Ruo stepped aside, and Xiumei also stopped.

After Wei Ruo instructed for a while, several people understood, so Wei Ruo left them to continue to strengthen the shed, and he took Xiumei back to the carriage.

The interior of the carriage is very warm, with soft cushions on the walls and underneath, and a few fluffy cushions next to it, which are very comfortable to sit and lie down.

However, at this time, Wei Ruo's expression was solemn.

Xiumei said worriedly: "Miss, what's wrong with you?" Is it because Xu Gongzi ......"

"What do you want? What can it have to do with him? I am worried that this heavy snow will bring great suffering to the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. ”

"That's right, last year's heavy snow made the people of Taizhou Mansion suffer a big crime! In addition, there was almost an outbreak of plague at that time...... Looking at the momentum of this year's snow, I'm afraid it's even bigger than last year......"

Speaking of this, Xiumei couldn't help but worry.

Saying that, Xiumei comforted herself again: "But this year's grain harvest is not bad, and the situation can be slightly better." ”

When the grain harvest is good, it is not only a matter of being able to eat enough, but also having surplus food at home, and the people can also buy more cotton jackets and quilts, and can also repair their houses, so that the impact of heavy snow is also less.

"Anyway, we need to be prepared." Wei Ruodao, "I remember that I stocked up on a batch of coal in a warehouse in Younan Villa. ”

Because of last year's situation, Wei Ruo also made preparations early this year, although she didn't know if it would snow this year, and whether it would be as cold as last year, but it was always right to stock up on more cold supplies.

Xiumei nodded: "Yes, the entire warehouse has not been moved, and there are also a batch of warehouses in Xingshan County that have not been moved." ”

"There should be cotton in stock, and when you get back to the city, you can go with me to confirm the warehouse where the cotton is stored." Wei Ruodao.

Xiumei nodded.

Outside the carriage, the six people outside were not lazy at all, although they were not very skilled, but their attitudes were very serious.

While working, Liu Yu couldn't help but ask Wei Yichen: "Brother Yichen, why is your eldest sister so powerful, she even understands this." I just saw her method of splitting bamboo, and she was very skilled, as if she had done it many times. ”

Liu Yu chopped some bamboo, and already felt some pain in his fingers.

He is not a weak scholar, he has practiced riding and archery on weekdays, and he has some calluses on his hands, but the position where he practices on weekdays is somewhat different from the position where he uses a firewood knife to split bamboo.

Wei Yichen was silent for a long time and did not speak.

"Brother Yichen?" Liu Yu called.

"In the past, when my sister was recuperating in the countryside, she learned some crafts from the old people in the countryside out of preference." Wei Yichen replied in a deep voice.

"I see, Miss Wei is really a knowledgeable person." Liu Yu praised.

Saying that, Liu Yu couldn't help but look at Xu Fengyuan: "No wonder Brother Xu ...... him"

Halfway through speaking, they found that the atmosphere was not right, and the faces of Xu Fengyuan and Wei Yichen changed.

Liu Yu hurriedly shut up, and swallowed all the words that followed.

Wei Yichen urged: "It's not too early, we have to speed up." ”

The others nodded in agreement, so they stopped gossiping and concentrated on reinforcing the shed.

In the evening, the reinforcement work was almost completed.

The roof of the shed, which was originally just covered by criss-crossed bamboo and fabric, is now filled with flexible bamboo strips, increasing the load-bearing capacity and overall firmness.

Two sides of the shed were sealed with flexible bamboo strips, and on the other two sides were Wei Ruo's carriage parked on one side, which could block most of the wind and snow, and on the other side were six horses.

Because of the limited time, it is not easy to seal the top and both sides.

In addition, they are still lit on fire in the shed, and it is not good to seal them all on all sides, so it is almost the same as this.

At least they won't freeze to death tonight.
