"It's snowing! It's snowing! Xiao Bai ran around the yard excitedly.

At this latitude in Quyang County, snow is rare.

Especially today, the snow is not small, and it is not the thin snow that melts on the ground before...... The bamboo forest is covered with a layer of white mist, crystal clear, which is a rare ice and snow scenery in the south.

Xiaobai laughed and rolled in the snow.

Seeing that Xiao Hei in front of Xiong Wuliang's door grinned slightly, he also wanted to go over to play in the snow, but he didn't want to leave his post without permission.

To say that we are also brothers and sisters, why is the gap so big.

At a young age, I was under pressure that I shouldn't have at this age!

At this moment, Xiong Wuliang pushed the door out.

A cold wind blew, and Xiong Wuliang shivered.

Xiaoyi also walked out, and put a thick brocade robe on Xiong Wuliang with a smile...... The chill has eased.

Xiong Wuliang stretched his waist, wrapped his robe tightly, and looked thoughtfully at the courtyard.

It's been two or three years since he came to this world, and this is the first time he's seen such a big snow.

"Let's all go play." Xiong Wuliang shook his hand happily and said to Xiao Hei with eager eyes.

Ji Yi cheered and went to play in the snow with Xiao Bai, but Xiao Hei struggled, and after a while, he couldn't resist the temptation of whiteness and rushed to the snowdrift.

Xiong Wuliang turned his head and happened to see Yingzhuo standing alone in the distance, looking at the snow scene thoughtfully...... There was a hint of sadness in his eyebrows.

It's so cold this winter......

Even the state of Chu, which is located in the southeast, is snowing. Then the Qin State, which is located in the northwest, is even more cold at this time.

I don't know if the Qin Kingdom will starve everywhere this winter.

In the past few years, the Qin State has really not been smooth - last winter, the heroes were in chaos, and a civil war caused a great loss of Qin State's vitality...... This year is another rare extreme cold in a century......

Half an hour later, Xiong Wuliang was covered in snow and led Xiao Hei Xiaobai and Ji Yi back to the house.

At this moment, everyone is already frozen.

Xiong Wuliang glanced at Yingzhuo, who was still frowning, and called a few personal soldiers to carry the firewood prepared early into the house, and after a while, the copper stove in the house ignited.

The temperature rose rapidly, and everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief.

It's coming to the end of the year, Huang Xie hasn't been home for more than a year, and this winter he asked Xiong Wuliang for a leave of absence and went back to Yingdu - at the cost of turning the three-year appointment into three and a half years.

is really worthy of an unscrupulous boss - after taking more than ten days of annual leave, he actually had to sign an additional deed of sale for half a year.

……

The wind and snow howled outside, but the inside of the house was as warm as spring.

Xiong Wuliang, Ji Yi, Ying Zhuo, and Xiao Hei Xiaobai sat around the copper stove, and there was a kettle on top of the copper stove, and Xiong Wuliang was boiling water and making tea.

He wasn't in the habit of putting spices in his tea...... A pot of tea, exuding a faint tea aroma.

Qu Yuan, Zhaohua, Zhong Hua, and Shaohu came together, and when they saw Xiong Wuliang cooking tea around the stove, Qu Yuan smiled slightly: "The lord is really interested." ”

Xiong Wuliang beckoned, motioned to his soldiers to bring four more teacups, and then poured steaming tea for the four henchmen...... The four of them thanked each other, took a small sip of the teacup, and felt that the cold on their bodies was gone.

"This year's winter is extremely cold, and it actually snows heavily that has not been seen in a hundred years......," Qu Yuan said: "In Xia and Zhaohua took a car to inspect the four counties under his rule, and saw that the people had sufficient surplus food in their hands, and the houses were solid, and there was no disaster at present. ”

Xiong Wuliang nodded - for the people of this era, the wind and snow are not a beautiful scenery, but often represent a disaster.

Unfortunately, the houses in the fiefdom are all cement houses, and if they were thatched houses, I am afraid they would be crushed by the heavy snow.

Having said that, I didn't expect Qu Yuan and Zhao Hua to actually inspect the entire fiefdom in the past few days...... It really made Xiong Wuliang a little moved. This icy and snowy terrain is not only extremely difficult to walk, but also prone to danger.

Shaohu also gave up his hand, and reported angrily: "Lord, my Quyang New Army has been assembled, and the 'fire kang' mentioned by the Lord Monarch has been used in the camp, and it is very easy to use at present." ”

"If a snow disaster occurs, the Quyang New Army can be dispatched at any time to rescue the snow disaster."

……

After drinking the tea, the four henchmen got up to say goodbye.

The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and Xiong Wuliang gives the cooks and servants a holiday—after all, the New Year is approaching, and the snow is falling so heavily, they have to go home early.

As for the problem of eating in the Hou Mansion...... Xiong Wuliang had a plan.

He sent someone to Shi Er to get a special copper pot, with three legs at the bottom and a high cylinder inside, to hold the charcoal fire.

Bring the charcoal to the fire and pour water into the copper pot.

Add some oil, pepper, ginger, garlic, green onion, and pour some mash to taste...... The Warring States version of the hot pot base is ready.

The cost of this hot pot is not low - hemp pepper is a specialty of the Bashu region, and it is a very expensive spice in the Chu State, and as for the onion and garlic, it is also expensive in winter.

The most critical pepper ...... Not yet, but it can be replaced with a spicy plant rhizome.

After a while, a strong spicy smell rose in the room—

Xiaobai couldn't stand it at first, squatted behind Xiong Wuliang with his arms in his arms, and watched Xiong Wuliang operate.

Ji Yi also came around, gearing up.

My son-in-law rarely cooks on weekdays, but once in a while, he can often make memorable food.

Although Ying Zhuo was still sitting in place and did not move, his eyes glanced in the direction of Xiong Wuliang from time to time - obviously he also moved.

Xiong Wuliang smiled, and asked people to take the ingredients - all kinds of things.

There are sliced meat, some fish and shrimp, and all kinds of vegetables (it is not easy to eat vegetables in winter).

"Come on." Xiong Wuliang greeted happily.

"Incense!" When a mouthful of hot, oily meat with two pepper seeds was swallowed, and Ji Yi's eyes immediately lit up.

"Spicy!" The little white eyes were watery, but his mouth didn't stop mouthful.

Ying Zhuo took a small bite and ate the mutton slices, his eyes were shining.

Xiong Wuliang looked at Ying Zhuo and said with concern: "Your shoulder injury...... Can you eat spicy food? ”

Ying Zhuo glanced at Xiong Wuliang, but did not answer, so angry that Xiong Wuliang was furious.

Ji Yi and Xiaobai both smiled, and their hearts were like mirrors.

……

The heavy snow came suddenly, and Wei Ran was guilty of the old nose.

Wei Ran, the prime minister of Great Qin, was ordered by the Empress Dowager to send an envoy to the state of Chu to ask for Xiong Wuliang.

The convoy trudged through the snow with difficulty, and for several miles, only the wind and snow were howling, and not a single living person could be seen.

Wei Ran rubbed his nose - even though he had tried his best to wrap the cart tightly, the cold wind still couldn't stop pouring in.

"Ahh Wei Ran wrapped the small quilt on his body tightly.

Wei Ran in the car could still hold on, but the Qin Army knights escorted outside the car couldn't stand it...... The iron armor on his body was covered with a thick layer of frost, and his eyebrows and nose were covered with ice skates, which was really embarrassing.

This embarrassed convoy just swayed and stopped...... walked out of Wuguan, crossed the border of Qin and Chu, and went straight to the capital of Yingdu of Chu......
