The afternoon sun shone in through the glass window, and with the heating in the house, Wu Yuan leaned on the sofa and fell asleep unconsciously.

I woke up from a nap, and the second apprentice, Baojun, was already gone.

Only Lin Miaomiao was left upstairs tidying up the room.

Wu Yuan got up and stretched, went out through the kitchen door, entered the stove room, cleaned the ashes under the earth-heated stove, and added some firewood by the way.

There are hundreds of pieces of honeycomb coal piled up in the corner, but they are only used before going to bed.

After all, honeycomb coal is more resistant to burning, and it can be filled with the furnace before going to bed, and it can be piped until dawn.

Liu Hui still feels that it is a waste, after all, everyone is in the quilt, what are you doing with those few pieces of honeycomb coal?

When the night is cold, wrap the quilt tightly.

After all this, Lin Miaomiao came down from upstairs and wore a pair of bodybuilding pants and a sweater all over her body.

It looks particularly youthful and beautiful.

"Uncle, what are we going to eat at night, I'll help you?"

Wu Yuan raised his head and looked, "You're not cold?" Go back and wear more. ”

"It's twenty degrees in the house, and I'm not cold. Uncle, I want to eat stewed cabbage with sheep and scorpions, and I want to eat chicken in a pot......"

"Do you want to eat peaches? I'll go to heaven and pluck it up. ”

"Uncle~"

For the sake of the two golden gourds, Wu Yuan began to rummage around, and really found a pack of sheep scorpions in the refrigerator, looked back at the eldest niece and said: "You can have sheep and scorpion stewed cabbage, but there is really no ground pot chicken." ”

Lin Miaomiao immediately got up and said, "The chickens are in the pigsty outside, and there are several big roosters." As soon as I came back, I saw them fighting, and if they didn't slaughter and eat, how much food would they waste? ”

Dare to be interested in it for a long time.

Wu Yuan waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, kill which one you like, and bring it to me after you slaughter it." ”

Just eat it, it's not that you can't afford to eat anyway.

"Okay!"

Lin Miaomiao went happily.

Wu Yuan went back to the house and changed into a sweater, and his hands began to get busy.

The main thing is that he also wants to eat this stewed cabbage at home.

As for what is stewed with cabbage, it doesn't matter, what you want is to eat cabbage and eat vermicelli freely.

sheep and scorpions and the like, but they are supporting roles.

First, put the sheep and scorpion in a pot under cold water, add cooking wine and ginger, cover the pot, and add firewood to the hearth.

Wait for the water to boil.

At this moment, there was a hissing and screaming of a big rooster outside.

Wu Yuan walked out of the small courtyard and took a look, okay, the poor big rooster ran away from the distance.

Blood was also scattered all the way.

Looking back, Lin Miaomiao's hands were all stained.

Frightened, Wu Yuan grabbed it and looked left and right: "Where is the injury?" ”

Lin Miaomiao came back to her senses: "But I don't hurt." It's all chicken blood, right? ”

Wu Yuan's atmosphere was relieved, he let go of his hand angrily, walked a few steps quickly, caught the big back, and carried it in his hand, which weighed five or six pounds.

It's really time to kill.

took the kitchen knife in Lin Miaomiao's hand, aimed it at the neck of the big rooster, and raised the knife in his hand.

Gave the big a hard time.

Then he threw it to Lin Miaomiao and said, "Go boil water and pluck the feathers, you should be able to do this, right?" ”

Lin Miaomiao nodded hurriedly: "I will, I will." ”

Back in the stove room, the sheep and scorpions were also blanched almost completely, and they were fished out by Wu Yuan three times and divided by two, and put them in the basin for later use.

On the other side, Lin Miaomiao carried the hot water on the earth heater and directly watered the big with a broken head.

After pouring it, stand by and do nothing.

Seeing that Wu Yuan said anxiously: "Quickly pluck the hair, you can pluck it while it's hot." When it's cold, you can't move. ”

So Lin Miaomiao began to squat down and pick chicken feathers, while picking, she had to prevent being burned.

But the smell wafted out, which made the rhubarb dog anxious.

Wu Yuan thought she was slow, so he directly dragged the basin over, and his hands were like ruthless iron hands, and in less than three or five minutes, he cleaned up the chicken feathers.

Then he washed the rooster again, disemboweled, and poured half a basin of chicken offal.

Stretched out his hand to pluck out the chicken heart, and handed the rest to Lin Miaomiao and said, "Take it to the dog to eat." ”

Lin Miaomiao pointed to the chicken Neijin and said, "This can also be eaten, right?" ”

"You wash?"

Lin Miaomiao subconsciously retreated, she could be regarded as having seen that some things were delicious and not easy to make.

In the end, it was cheaper for a dog.

was busy, and her daughter-in-law Yang Luoyan came downstairs with her two children in her arms.

Only then did Wu Yuan find out that his mother-in-law Liu Hui was not at home: "What about Mom? I made two big dishes, and I was trying to make up for my mother. ”

Yang Luoyan said: "Mom went back to cook for Dad." ”

Wu Yuan said casually: "Ask my dad to come over and eat together, two big pots." ”

Lin Miaomiao immediately said, "I'll call." ”

As a result, he was dragged by Yang Luoyan and said: "Don't be, let them reunite with the old couple, let's not bother." ”

Sunset.

A pot of lamb and scorpion stewed cabbage vermicelli, a pot of chicken in a pot, steaming.

They sat at the table with their two children.

The two children were so excited that their little hands reached out into the pot.

Lin Miaomiao feasted and said, "Uncle, there won't be a power outage tonight, right?" I want to take a hot shower. ”

Wu Yuan said casually: "If you are afraid of a power outage, you will carry a bucket of hot water in and prepare it." ”

It's all a ready-made experience.

Yang Luoyan echoed: "Boil more hot water, I will also wash it." ”

The countryside lacks everything, except firewood.

In addition to the eaves of the stove house, thousands of catties of coal were piled up. In front of and behind the house, there were also a lot of broken and withered small trees, the thickness of the fist, which could not be made into wood, so they could only saw firewood.

In addition, when building a building in the past, the roots and tree segments that were plucked up in front of and behind the house were all a steady stream of firewood at home.

After eating a meal, the belly is round, and half of the sheep scorpion and the ground pot chicken are left.

That's it, the servants didn't even eat rice, and they were full.

Wu Yuan took over the responsibility of taking care of the children, and asked his daughter-in-law and Miao Miao to clean up the dining table and kitchen, boil water and take a bath.

As a result, at night, there were still people coming to the door.

Wu Yuan stretched out his head and saw that it was Ma Mingjun who came with his daughter-in-law Zhang Yan and carrying things.

"Master, there are no good things for the New Year, don't dislike it."

Wu Yuan looked at Shicheng's eldest apprentice and daughter-in-law and said, "I just got home today, and I don't know how to take a break." Are you two giving gifts for fear of falling behind? ”

Ma Mingjun smiled and said, "Master, Yan'er is ready, I'm in charge of running errands." ”

Zhang Yan continued: "Master, the second family will definitely send fish over this year, so I got you a leg of mutton." If you like it, I'll give you another look. ”

"Enough is enough, it's not easy for you two to save some money, so don't spend it indiscriminately."

"Thanks to the blessing of Master and Master, I have saved a lot this year, if it weren't for my father's just left for a year, I would have wanted to start a house in the spring."

Being able to start a house means that you have really saved some money.

The apprentice lived well, and Wu Yuan was also happy in his heart.

Especially this solid-eyed big apprentice.

"If you can't get up the house, you can buy the bricks back first."

The two of them nodded.

I heard Ma Mingjun continue: "Master, I saw Li Ergou, if it wasn't for Yan'er to stop me, I would have gone up and beat him." ”

Wu Yuan glared: "He is a person with a criminal record, what are you doing with him?" Later, when I saw him, I hid a little, and someone in the village watched him. ”
