Chapter 552: On a snowy day, roasted sweet potatoes and hot pot are more compatible

Gao Mingcheng picked up the big broom and began to sweep the floor.

This kind of broom is made of a bamboo pole and many thin bamboo branches, which is suitable for sweeping the yard, and as for the broom for sweeping the room, it is generally made of finer and softer materials.

They have a plant called broomstick, which can be eaten in the spring, and when it is old in the fall, the leaves can be removed, leaving only the lignified branches, which can be used to tie it into a broom and sweep the floor.

In addition to brooms made from broom vegetables, brooms can also be made from sorghum straw and palm bark.

Gao Mingcheng picked up the bamboo branch broom, swept the ground with a wide opening and closing, and in a short time, he swept the fallen leaves to a pile, and then only needed to collect them with a shovel and then put them into the trash.

As soon as she finished sweeping the yard, Duomei woke up, she was wearing a thick cotton coat, and the whole person seemed a little afraid of the cold.

The cold wind is blowing, and it is indeed cold enough for people.

"Is my son awake?" Gao Mingcheng asked.

Duomei shook her head and said, "I'm not awake, I'll go brush my teeth and wash my face first, and then wake him up later." ”

When the weather is cold, children like to sleep in.

Gao Mingcheng said: "I have plugged in the electric water heater, you can wait and brush your teeth and wash your face with hot water, don't save this idea of electricity bills." ”

"Okay." Many beauties were blown by the cold wind outside the house, and felt a little unbearable, so they hurriedly went in to brush their teeth and wash their faces.

After cleaning, the whole person felt used to the temperature.

The husband and wife woke up their children, and after breakfast here, they were ready to go to the clothing store.

But not walking, but by truck, Gao Mingcheng first sent a lot of beauty and children to the door of the clothing store, and then drove the truck to the transportation company, he had to return the truck to Xiao Jinfeng, and there was still a small half of the goods in the truck.

After returning the truck, Gao Mingcheng also rushed back to the clothing store, today the clothing store has a new style, and the temperature has dropped again, business will definitely be good, he naturally wants to go over there to help with things.

Sure enough, business was quite good for the whole day, and by the evening, the weather was getting colder and colder, and it was actually sleet!

After dinner, Gao Mingcheng didn't stay long, and went back to his new home with his wife and children.

In the afternoon, he took the time to come back and install the antenna, and now he can turn on the TV to watch programs.

When the brazier is lit, the family watches TV around the brazier, which is comfortable!

This year will be extremely cold, so Gao Mingcheng bought a few large bags of charcoal early and came back to prepare, and under the eaves of the backyard near the kitchen, there is a mountain of briquettes.

This snow, I'm afraid that the price of briquettes will rise again.

But it doesn't matter, the briquettes Gao Mingcheng bought are enough for his family for a winter.

Many beauties sat on the soft sofa, baking the fire, watching the show they wanted to watch, and they only felt very happy.

There are also color TVs to watch in the clothing store, but there are more people watching them, and there will definitely be different opinions, such as this one wants to watch a TV series, and that one wants to watch something else, and it's hard to reconcile.

Now it's okay, what show to watch, she has the final say!

Many beauties were slightly proud, looked at Gao Mingcheng again, and asked, "Mingcheng, what show do you want to watch?" ”

Gao Mingcheng said: "I'll do whatever I want, just see what you want to see." ”

With this sentence, many beauties were even happier in their hearts, but they still said: "If you want to watch it, just tune the channel directly." ”

"Okay."

This night, the Xiaoice hail outside clanged on the glass window, but the cold was blocked by the doors and windows, and the temperature inside the house was several degrees higher.

If you cover the quilt and sleep, the temperature can rise by more than ten degrees!

The reason is that of course I use an electric blanket!

As early as the beginning of the twentieth century, the electric blanket was invented, and by the fifties it was widely used, and by the nineties, it was all the rage in the countryside!

Many elderly people who are afraid of cold rely on electric blankets to maintain their body temperature!

In fact, with Gao Mingcheng's physique, he doesn't need an electric blanket at all, but many beauties are afraid of cold, so he can only wait for many beauties to fall asleep before turning off the electric blanket.

Lying in the warm quilt, Gao Mingcheng suddenly remembered that Grandma Xi didn't seem to have an electric blanket.

Although electric blankets have been popularized and many people use them, there are still relatively few people in rural areas who use them, and some more remote villages have not even been electrified!

People live in isolation, unaware of the ever-changing world outside.

Thinking of this, Gao Mingcheng decided to buy two electric blankets, one for Grandma Fine and one for Grandma Gao.

As for his parents, if they need it, they can buy it themselves!

After doing the math, his parents also have money in their hands, including money from selling grain and pigs, as well as money from his father's steamed wine, plus the money given by their children, and there is a lot of money in a year.

Thinking about it, Gao Mingcheng fell asleep.

When I woke up the next day, it was still sleet, the wind was blowing, and it was bitterly cold.

Gao Mingcheng wanted to buy an electric blanket and go back to the village, but the wind and snow blocked the road, and it was difficult to go out, so he even asked many beauties to stay at home with their children and not go to the clothing store.

The clothing store has Gao Shufang, Luo Li, Zhang Jinling and Hu Yinchen, who can completely cope with it.

Duo Mei thought about it, and was a little relieved in her heart, but she still agreed, although she was afraid of the cold, she could still persevere, but Xiao Xuxu was still young, and she had a little cold before, and now it is not good to go out to blow the cold wind.

After breakfast, Gao Mingcheng went out.

Before, they only had breakfast here, and lunch and dinner were all eaten at the clothing store, so there were no dishes here, and today he was going to eat at home, so he naturally had to go out to buy vegetables, and then take some dried kelp and salted fish, cuttlefish, eggs or something from the clothing store, and put them here for later use.

By the time he returned with a basket full of vegetables, the weather had turned gloomy and had turned from sleet to goose feathers!

Seeing the goose feathers and heavy snow, Gao Mingcheng was relieved.

He doesn't like sleet more than goose feathers, it's cold, and it's wet everywhere.

It is said that the sky will be sunny after the snow, and after this goose feather snowfall, the sky will soon be clear.

Today, the whole day, the family of three stayed at the new home.

The new home is very large, enough for Xiao Xu Xu to explore, and in order to be afraid that Xiao Xu Xu will be cold, he has laid a blanket in the living room to facilitate him to play on the blanket.

Seeing that Xiao Xuxu is more than a year old, but because of the cold weather, he is dressed like a hair ball, and he still can't walk steadily, and if he takes a few more steps, he will fall, and every time he falls, he will provoke Gao Mingcheng's merciless ridicule.

On a snowy day, it's fun to tease the little kids!

But even happier is roasting sweet potatoes and baked potatoes on a brazier!

Set up tongs on the brazier, and then place the small sweet potatoes and small potatoes on the tongs, so that they are slowly baked over a charcoal fire, and they must be turned constantly to avoid burning.

Gao Mingcheng turned the sweet potatoes with a pair of chopsticks, and the sweet potatoes on the tongs were already ripe, steaming with a hot aroma, and even began to flow sugar water!

"How beautiful, the sweet potatoes are baked, you eat them first!" Gao Mingcheng took out the roasted sweet potato with chopsticks, put it aside to cool, and then put a new sweet potato on it.

Many Mei rummaged through the kitchen looking for something, and when she heard Gao Mingcheng's words, she answered from afar, and when she came over, she was carrying a small bag of things in her hand.

"Mingcheng, this is the citron you got back last time, the green skin has been removed, how to eat this seed?"

Many Mei looked at Gao Mingcheng curiously, this thing was the first time she had seen it, but after Gao Mingcheng took it back, she told her how to do it, she helped to rot the green skin, and then dried the seeds while there was sunshine.

After removing the green skin, the seeds were not too big, Gao Mingcheng picked up a few and looked at them, and then said: "Just fry them and eat them, just like fried melon seeds and peanuts, and put a little salt to taste." ”

"There's nothing to do today anyway, so let's fry a little and taste it."

With that, Gao Mingcheng got up and went to get a small iron pot and salt.

You don't have to burn briquettes on purpose, just fry them directly on the brazier, because you can't fry them over a fierce fire, in case they are burnt, they won't taste good.

He put the sweet potatoes aside and began to stir-fry the fragrant trees.

He had eaten it in his previous life, but he had never fried it, so he fried it very carefully, for fear that it would be burnt, and it was estimated that it was almost there, so he quickly removed it from the brazier.

Gao Mingcheng's ruthless big iron hand took out a citron directly from the pot, and with a light bite, the shell cracked, revealing the flesh inside.

The flesh has many folds, and there is a layer of black skin on top of the folds, which needs to be removed to make the taste good.

Gao Mingcheng tasted one, his expression was a little subtle.

He didn't know if it was because his method was not authentic, he felt that the fragrant trees he fried were quite ordinary!

In addition to the delicate aroma, the taste is dry and rough, the flesh is hard, and there is a slight burnt taste.

"How? Is it tasty? Many beautiful faces stared at Gao Mingcheng with curiosity.

Gao Mingcheng pretended to be calm, peeled a fragrant tree, and handed it to a lot of beautiful food: "You can taste it yourself." ”

Many American generals ate suspiciously, and after tasting it carefully, they said: "I think it's okay, there is a fragrance, it's good." ”

As soon as Gao Mingcheng heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, he thought, it may be that many beauties have little knowledge now, unlike him, they have eaten more delicious, so they are picky!

Many beauties like to eat, Gao Mingcheng peeled a lot of beauties, this shell is easy to peel, but that layer of black skin is not easy to peel, if you don't peel off the black skin, it tastes like eating charcoal, and the taste is not good.

The nutritional value of the citron is high, but it pays attention to the stir-frying skills, and there are hanging melon seeds, which must also be fried well to be delicious.

The husband and wife peeled one by one, and the other ate with joy, and Xiao Xuxu, who was left out in the cold, sat on the carpet and ate roasted sweet potatoes alone.

After many beauties finished feeding, I saw that Xiao Xuxu had become a cat face!

"This kid!" Many beauties laughed and scolded, and went to pour hot water to wash Xiao Xuxu's face and hands, as for the clothes, it doesn't matter, because he is wearing a smock.

Children are easy to get dirty, and winter clothes are thick and not easy to dry, so it is best to wear a smock, and after it is dirty, just wash the smock, and the clothes inside can be worn for a while.

Gao Mingcheng watched a lot of beauty clean up for the child, but as soon as he cleaned up, the child wanted to come to Gao Mingcheng's side and signaled that he wanted to eat fragrant trees.

Gao Mingcheng didn't give him food!

Although the nutritional value of the citron is high, this is a nut, very hard, Xiao Xuxu's teeth grow slowly, and there are only four teeth up and down at this time, a total of eight teeth!

But one wanted, the other didn't give, the father and son played the game, Gao Mingcheng raised the citron in his hand high, Xiao Xuxu reached out to get it, but he couldn't get it, he tried to climb on Gao Mingcheng's body, but it was not easy to climb, several times failed, and finally with the help of Gao Mingcheng, he climbed up, but unfortunately even if he stood on Gao Mingcheng's legs, he still couldn't reach it!

If it were on other children, I was afraid that I would have cried a long time ago.

But Xiao Xuxu's personality is not bad, he didn't cry, he tilted his head, stared at the citron in his father's hand and seemed to be pondering, after a while, he seemed to have decided to give up and climbed down from Gao Mingcheng's lap.

Seeing him walking towards the carpet, sitting on the carpet and playing with his toys, Gao Mingcheng couldn't help laughing.

This little kid, fight when you should fight, give up when you should give up, don't cry or make trouble, it's really good to bring!

Gao Mingcheng thought with satisfaction, and ate the citron in his hand.

He didn't fry all of these lemon trees, but kept some of them, and he wanted to see if he could cultivate them.

In fact, when it comes to the citron, the people of later generations only know the Zhaojia Xianghua Forest Park in Zhuji, Zhejiang, and think that this is the core production area of the citron, but here in Jiangxi, there has also been a citron industry since ancient times, but there are few wild citron trees, and the citron is rare, so they are all official eunuchs and squires, so they can enjoy it.

For a whole day, the goose feathers and snow outside the house, the wife and children in the house, there are braziers to keep warm, there are roasted sweet potatoes to warm the stomach, and then eat a small hot pot, this day, I don't change it for a fairy!

This snow is two days, although it has snowed for two days, but the snow on the ground is not thick, after all, it is the south, not like the north, the whole ice and snow world.

When the snow stops, the blue sky emerges and a touch of sunset shines down.

Although the light is so soft that you can barely feel the temperature, just looking at the glow is enough to make you feel good.

As the saying goes, if you don't go out in the morning glow, you will travel thousands of miles in the sunset.

Seeing sunset means that tomorrow will be a good day.

Before going to bed, Gao Mingcheng told many beauties that if the sun came out tomorrow, he would go back to the village, and he hadn't been back for a while, so he had to go and see.

This year, it was cold, and the snow fell earlier than usual, but luckily he had sold all the oranges before, leaving only a few trees.

In addition, the grapefruit has not been picked yet, so I have to go and see how it goes.

Listening to his words, Duomei suddenly said: "You can buy two more electric blankets, one for my second sister, and one in the village house, and when the Chinese New Year comes, we always have to go back to live." ”

When Gao Mingcheng heard this, he nodded directly.

He didn't feel distressed when he sent an electric blanket to Duoyu, but he was worried about whether the house could withstand the cold of this year!

This year will be much colder than usual, and this is the first snow, and there will be more snow days after that.

This is also the reason why he wants Zhang Chengyuan to build a new house this year.

It's a pity that Zhang Cheng is far from top-notch, and many jade eyes are shallow again. (End of chapter)
