Cheng Xi returned with a full load.

When she entered the door, she threw down a pile of firewood, and most of the cotton clothes on her body were wet, but the place where the back basket was pressed was still dry.

It's just that......

"Why is the snow on the ground ten centimeters thick?"

The yard that had just been cleared in the morning was now piled up with a thick layer, and there were big snowflakes falling in the sky as soon as I stepped on one footprint.

White dry.

However, it has to be done as it should be, otherwise the snow will only get thicker and thicker.

Shen Xingqi was cooking in the kitchen, and she was very happy to see her come back and helped her take the bamboo basket.

"Sister-in-law is amazing! So much wood was chopped in just a few moments. ”

"Hey, what is this?"

She was looking at a mushroom-shaped thing in the bamboo basket and stared, "It can't be Ganoderma lucidum, right?" ”

"That's right, reward you for eating more bowls of rice at noon."

"I've gained a few pounds."

It's all because the food at home is too good, especially Cheng Xi's craftsmanship is so good that she has nothing to say, and she has to struggle with reason every time she eats.

If this continues, sooner or later she will become the fattest girl in the village.

However, the distress lasted for a second, and the next moment the little girl raised her head, full of anticipation:

"Sister-in-law, how do you eat the chestnuts that my brother brought back yesterday?"

How to eat?

Of course, try every trick!

Cheng Xi proved with practical actions that there are different ways to eat chestnuts in 108, the snow is falling outside, the house is warm, and a bunch of tools are prepared in a short time around the iron stove.

Wash and dry the chestnuts, then gently make a small cut on the back with a knife, and repeat the peel of two large bowls.

She brushed one of the bowls with oil, put it in the space under the iron stove and baked it, then picked up the remaining bowl and went straight to the kitchen.

"Xingqi, bring some sugar."

"Okay!"

The little girl kept up, as for the etiquette of the concubine who has been cultivated for more than ten years?

It's all behind me now.

Shen Xingluo, who was sitting in the living room reading a book: "......"

Seeing the two leave, the corners of the man's mouth twitched faintly, and finally he didn't say anything.

In the kitchen, one person is in charge of the cooking and the other is responsible for watching the fire.

Bring the iron pan to a boil and pour in the salt, while pouring in the chestnuts that have been drained.

Cheng Xi picked up the spatula and slowly stir-fried the chestnuts to heat evenly, and it didn't take long for them to slowly open their mouths one by one.

Shen Xingqi looked at it from the side and exclaimed in surprise, "It's already fragrant!" ”

The dark red shell and the yellow chestnut flesh look particularly pleasing to the eye, and the frequency of stir-frying is accelerated, and the salt particles stuck to the chestnut shell slowly come off, and the color gradually darkens.

Cheng Xi picked up the prepared white sugar and sprinkled it evenly, the sugar caramelized, and the aroma was immediately overflowing.

"It's more fragrant!"

The spatula is still stir-frying quickly, and the spatula is inserted from the bottom of the pan to ensure that the caramel does not stick to the bottom of the pan.

"Okay, simmer for a while and you'll be able to eat."

Finally, Cheng Xi covered the pot to ensure that the chestnuts were ripe and the caramel aroma seeped into the chestnuts, and the fragrance in the kitchen drifted out with the air, and the whole courtyard was immersed in a sweet fragrance.

And at this time, the roasted chestnuts under the iron stove were almost the same.

Pull open the valve, sprinkle a layer of sugar on the roasted chestnuts, and close the valve again.

"Just wait to eat, find a time to make all the chestnuts, and you can usually use them as snacks."

Cheng Xi said it normally, but Shen Xingqi couldn't help but speak.

Chestnuts can be full, in the eyes of the people, it is equivalent to food, even in the dim sum shop in Fucheng is not cheap, how can it be so casual when you come to her house?

In the past, the conditions of their family were quite good, but they were not extravagant to this extent.

But this feeling is ...... Very, full, full!

"Are they all made?"

So a bamboo basket, but it is a lot.

"If you don't keep a few catties, you can put some to change the taste next time you cook chicken soup."

“......”

Okay, it's her who is too worried.

Shen Xingqi figured it out, listen to her sister-in-law in everything!

The little girl went to the kitchen to serve dinner, but Cheng Xi was thinking that if the chestnuts at home were gone, she would pick them up again, and she had encountered more than one chestnut tree today.

There has never been a shortage of this thing in Shennong Mountain.

***

Whether it is sugar-fried chestnuts or roasted chestnuts, they are warmly welcomed.

The chestnuts are shiny and shiny, the taste is crispy and easy to peel, sweet and delicious, and it perfectly captures the brothers and sisters of the Shen family.

The farmhouse courtyard was filled with banana fragrance for several days, and the three of them repeated the same action every day, eating, shoveling snow, roasting chestnuts, eating, and an infinite cycle.

Life is indescribably fulfilling.

However, the rest of the families in Shenjia Village were not in such a good mood, and they became more and more anxious as time went by.

"When will the snow stop? It's been five days and five nights! ”

"Look, it doesn't look like it means to stop, most of the food at home has been eaten, alas~"

"My family's food is fine, I bought a lot with my sixth uncle a few days ago, but the firewood is a little insufficient."

"Who would have thought that they wouldn't be able to get out of the house now?"

"Even if there is a mountain of wood behind the village, then you have to have time to cut it!"

Yes, it's hard to get out.

Many people in the village have thick snow in their yards, and even hard ice has appeared underneath, and people who have not had time to clean up can fall in their yards.

Everyone hid at home and worried, and even the women who loved to run the door on weekdays stayed at home honestly.

And in the northernmost part of Shenjia Village, Cheng Xi wrapped himself into a ball and pushed open the door of the small courtyard again.

Shen Xingqi stood behind him with a worried face.

"Sister-in-law, do you really want to go into the city?"

"Don't worry, it'll be fine."

"We still have a lot to eat at home."

"I went to buy salt, and by the way, I inquired about the price of food, and I will be back soon."

Cheng Xi really couldn't stand the worried little eyes of her sister-in-law, and threw a distress signal behind her.

"Husband, did you say?"

Shen Xingluo nodded, "Your sister-in-law is still going to the post station, and the letter from the dart bureau is estimated to have arrived." ”

The matter of the Cheng family's father is a big deal.

The little girl had no choice but to watch Cheng Xi go farther and farther, and when she saw that the figure gradually disappeared, she had new doubts.

"We have salt in our kitchen, why does my sister-in-law want to buy it?"

“......”

Shen Xingluo was also wondering about this question.

In recent days, the plane shops in the system have gradually been on the right track, and the trade with the orc plane has been changed from salt to other necessities.

It stands to reason that there is no shortage of salt at home.

Could it be that she has other uses?

At this time, Cheng Xi, who was remembered, had already left the village, and encountered several bloated shadows one after another.

At a glance, let alone recognize who is who, it is not easy to see that there is a figure moving with difficulty.

The snowflakes were overwhelming, and from time to time there was a cold wind like a knife cut, and normal people used all their strength to open their eyes, trying to see the road under their feet.

- In fact, because the snow is so thick, I can't see the original trail clearly.

Pedestrians can only rely on their previous experience of going to Fucheng to make one footprint after another.

However, Cheng Xi is not included in these normal people......
