Su Qingluan's running team has gradually become a scenery in Huaxi Village. Sometimes, even if you can't follow the whole process and occasionally run a few steps together, you can be considered to have joined the activity.

Or even if you can't run from beginning to end, it's not as good as Sun Guixiang who is pregnant, such as Mu Xingzhi, who is "not good at walking", and there are some other people who are over the age of sixties, trembling even when they stand, and there are many people who take advantage of everyone running out to bask in the sun.

For nothing else, even saying hello to the folks who know each other is much better than snuggling up in a cold room, as if it becomes lively.

Later, everyone simply took advantage of this time to take out the things that they didn't want or extra at home to exchange, forming a "free trade" market that was not too large-scale, but very lively, of course, this effect was a later story, and even Su Qingluan himself did not expect this effect.

However, there are still fewer and fewer people who can keep running, and one of the most important reasons is that not everyone has the perseverance and perseverance to withstand the increasingly cold north wind every day, and it takes half an hour to run slowly.

What's more, as the weather gets colder and colder at night, it gradually becomes more difficult to get to the town, because of a few snowfalls, although not too big but long enough, a layer of "snow shell" has accumulated on the ground, which is not too heavy but hard enough.

In his previous life, as a serious northern child, Su Qingluan understood that this kind of snowfall with a thin layer and even faintly visible soil layer below was even more dangerous than those goose feather snow that could not reach his knees at every turn.

Not because of anything else, but because such a "light snow" can easily melt as soon as it falls to the ground due to the slight friction generated by pedestrians passing by. However, this sub-freezing environment causes the melted water droplets to freeze immediately, forming a layer of ice crust on the road.

This is different from the thin layer of ice that formed when it rained, because this kind of ice shell is likely to be quickly covered with a layer of snow before it melts, and it looks like soft snow at first glance, but in fact, when you step on it, you will fall all over your face after a break dance.

So Su Qingluan immediately decided not to go to the town to "buy" Su Guangfu and the Yang family, who had not gone to the town to "buy" before.

Because that rugged mountain road, even when there is no rain or snow, is one foot deep and one foot shallow, and it is not easy to walk. Every time it rained and passed through that section of the road, it was considered light to be tripped by unexpected potholes, and some people's donkey carts slipped and fell directly into the ravine next to them.

Fortunately, although the donkey broke his leg and could no longer work, fortunately, the cart was pushed by man, so he escaped - of course, the donkey also became donkey meat and burned his stomach.

However, this incident is enough to show that the mountain road is really not easy to walk.

However, there are always those who do not believe in evil or there are some people who want to do more business in the town again, who do not give up and go to the mountain road, and there are also those who are lucky enough to come back safely.

However, there are also people who are not so lucky, and the broken leg is quite light, and there are more serious, and they fell directly down the ravine, knocked the back of the head, and died with a whimper.

Su Qingluan was very embarrassed when he heard the news - after all, the other party even worked together to the end in the second round of making jam, and a while ago he happily led the "consolation welfare award" to himself and said with a smile that he wanted to work with him next year.

As a result, in the blink of an eye, things were wrong, and in order to run one more business, he lost his life.

The daughter-in-law cried all over the place, but what was the use? There is no way back.

Probably seeing the death, Li Zheng finally remembered to tell everyone on the notice board at the head of the village where the announcement was made that the road to the town was very difficult to walk, and everyone must be very careful when passing by.

As for the "don't go to the town unless you have to" - just kidding, if you don't have to be helpless, who wants to go to the town for more than half an hour on a cold day, or even longer now?

However, no matter what, the days still have to go on, but everyone is more or less jealous, and they are more careful when they go out, and they no longer go out to the town to change things unless there is a special need.

Fortunately, because Su Qingluan not only paid generously in the autumn, but also various benefits emerged in an endless stream, everyone was not short of clothes and less to wear, at least much better than those previous winters.

However, in the end, the most important vegetables in winter will be drastically reduced, and the few vegetables are only cabbage and turnips, and some pickled dried vegetables and pickles.

Although Su Qingluan also tried to promote the cultivation of carrots, coriander and onions, no matter what time and space changes these three vegetables have undergone, there are always a bunch of die-hard powder and black powder, and this small mountain village in this era is no exception, and many people feel that these three vegetables have an indescribable strange taste.

Especially coriander and onions, they are actually disgusted by many people and stink, and Su Qingluan said that people who don't understand the deliciousness of coriander and onions are simply unreasonable - of course, she just slandered in her heart. At the same time, she was also a little glad that no one in the Su family was particularly picky, as long as it was eaten by her, basically everyone ate it.

It's even a little happy to think so!

Of course, the above activities are all completed in the depths of his heart, and Su Qingluan is still very Buddhist on the surface to promote "potted vegetables" everywhere, but it has also achieved good results. Anyway, everyone's "potted gene" has been completely activated, and a considerable number of people have begun to enjoy it - flowers can't live anyway, and planting a little vegetable can still fill their stomachs.

However, the lack of ingredients in winter is certain, and even if many families will no longer be short of the most basic ingredients for subsistence this winter, Su Qingluan still hopes to have more fresh meat and vegetables to eat.

So Su Qingluan set his sights on the only river that passed through Huaxi Village.

As the temperature drops in winter, fishing in the river becomes more difficult. Not only because the cold wind makes it difficult to hold on to a place for a few hours, but also because the fish go to deeper water when the weather is cold, and do not stay on the shore or in places with shallow currents.

…… Rather, winter is the dry season, and many areas with relatively small water currents and relatively low water levels have become dry periods, exposing the potholed riverbed below. Only some of the deeper sections of the river still have babbling water – but now they are all covered with thick ice.

Su Qingluan has been studying fishing on the ice or casting nets lately to see if he can get some fish and shrimp in the river.

The meat in winter is not as fatty as during the breeding season, but because the water is cooler and because the fish are reduced or do not eat at all throughout the winter, the meat is firm and does not smell too much.

In a sense, it's a different kind of delicacy.

What's more, the small fish in the river at this time are also very delicious, but Su Qingluan himself is not really good at fishing, so he can only look at the "fish" and sigh.
