Chapter 75: Snow
Wen Xian stood outside the cave for a while, and seeing that the two were still talking, she had to turn around and leave first, and then go in later.
The moon in the sky, she can't be satisfied, but she can think of other ways.
After thinking about it for a while, she decided to make a chestnut cake for everyone to taste.
If there is anything that is not lacking now, it must be chestnuts. After all, the whole chestnut tree was bald by them in the first place.
In the past, there was no sugar, and he pointed to the chestnut belly. So, she didn't think about making chestnut cakes.
Now that I have the sugar that I have changed, and I have more grain, I can make chestnut cake a few times.
I simply used the clay stove outside to cook the chestnuts, and after cooking, peeled them off and put them in an open pot. Then let Dali Li'er take a homemade rolling pin and crush the chestnuts.
After crushing, add sugar to it, and then set it again, and the chestnut cake is ready.
The chestnut cake is made quickly, and it can be put in cold weather. Wen Xian simply made enough at one time, and a hundred came out.
After the chestnut cake was made, Wen Xian also made a special trip to pick out a few and put them on a plate with the bamboo cut. Subsequently, he made a special trip to the little princess Jiang Lingling to the cave.
Seeing that she cried so miserably, she broke her finger again, pitiful, Wen Xian still relented in the end.
After all, no matter what, Jiang Lingling was only fifteen years old. In his previous life, he was still in middle and high school at this age, and he was a serious child.
Jiang Lingling, who was tired of crying and fell asleep, smelled the fragrance of the pastry as soon as he opened his eyes, and turned his head to see the chestnut cake placed beside him.
She thought it was an illusion, and she tried to close her eyes and open them again, but the chestnut cake was still there.
Jiang Lingling sat up suddenly, looking at the three chestnut cakes on the side incredulously, neither eating nor not.
Fang Jiaren, who was heating the porridge, smiled at her and said, "Eat it, this is something that Mrs. made for you and brought it to you." ”
The two of them were the only ones in the cave, and everyone else was busy outside.
Jiang Lingling pointed at himself and said incredulously: "Specially made a trip to me?" ”
Is she not awake or in a dream, how could Madame make a special trip to make food for her.
Fang Jiaren said angrily: "Who is crying and crying somewhere, which made Mrs. feel distressed for a while, and made a special trip to make a lot of chestnut cakes." ”
She pretended to be jealous and said, "We are all stained with your light to eat this chestnut cake." ”
She sighed in her heart, Madame was really hard-mouthed and soft-hearted.
Jiang Ling's eyes were full of tears, and he picked up the chestnut cake and took a bite. Well, it's sweet, sweeter than any pastry she's ever eaten before.
After eating the chestnut cake, she slowed down for a while, but still mustered up the courage to run to Wen Xian and apologize to her.
"Madame, I was wrong. In the future, I will no longer be willful, and I will listen to my wife. ”
She stirred the corners of her clothes and lowered her head, for fear that Wen Xian would not forgive her.
However, Wen Xian smiled, raised her hand and rubbed Jiang Lingling's head and said, "Be good, just be obedient." When your sister Wan gives birth safely next year, we will leave the island. ”
O child, you can be born in peace.
Jiang Lingling raised his head suddenly, and then nodded fiercely: "Well, I listen to Madame." ”
She was overjoyed, she didn't expect Madame to forgive her so easily.
No matter what Jiang Lingling and the others thought in their hearts, Wen Xian didn't care much, and she didn't care.
Because, at the end of October, Death Island ushered in the first snow of the winter.
In just one night, the snow outside the cave was piled up to 10 centimeters.
Wen Xian and the others changed into cotton clothes and shoes, and burned two large charcoal fires to keep warm. But even then, it was cold.
They can only cover themselves in the quilt day and night, covering the quilt to keep warm. Even when I eat, I simply cook some grilled food.
"Ah sneeze~" Hu Ke'er sneezed, couldn't help but rub her nose and said: "It's just early winter, it's so cold, what can I do in the future." ”
Fortunately, three more cellars of charcoal were burned before, otherwise even if there were cotton clothes and quilts, they would have died of cold in the cave.
Bai Rose said weakly: "Fortunately, there were people from Sun Island before, otherwise we wouldn't even have cotton clothes and quilts." ”
In this weather, even if you stay by the fire all the time, it is cold.
Speaking of Sun Island, Wen Xian, who had been staring at the gap above the cave in a daze, came back to her senses.
She suddenly remembered that she had exchanged tools with Zhu Qing before, and there were nails in them.
She immediately came out of the bed and ran to turn over the nails.
"We have to find a way to seal the gap above, otherwise the cold wind will continue to blow in, and the cave will never be warm."
Moreover, the wind will also accelerate the burning of charcoal, which costs charcoal.
Zheng Rou ran down and asked, "But, what kind of seal do you take?" ”
They don't have any planks.
At present, there is a gap of one meter and five meters on the wooden board, and such a large gap is indeed not easy to tidy.
Wen Xian walked around the cave and saw the big tanning placed above the firewood pile and had an idea.
She took down the two large tans and said, "Use this, nail the tanning to the top of the hole, and you can always resist some cold wind." ”
It's just that although the two tanning are braided according to the diameter of one meter eight, the tanning is round, and there will be a gap between the two tanning flattenings.
Wen Xian found two more robes: "Take the top of the coat in the middle of the gap, it happens to be waterproof." ”
The tanning is dense, waterproof and windproof, she is really a clever ghost.
However, Xia Zhi looked at the high hole and asked, "How do you nail it?" ”
Wen Xian's face stiffened, yes, the hole is three meters high, how can you drive the nail on.
There is also the question, even if it is nailed, what if the soil loosens and falls.
It was another difficult question, and for a while, Wen Xian didn't know what to do.
"Why don't you make a wooden ladder first?" Wen Xian looked at a pile of firewood.
But she shook her head again and said, "No, even with a wooden ladder, the soil on the top of the hole will loosen." ”
And the snow was piled up, and it collapsed even faster.
Sheng Li'er proposed, "Why don't I use some strength and drive the nail into the stone?" ”
If you nail it into a stone, you can't make a mistake.
Zheng Rou said: "Isn't that going to collapse, even the stones will collapse together?" ”
"In the nail stone, I don't know whether the stone is broken first or the nail is broken first." Wen Xian shook her head and said, "Nail it to the wooden board, nail it tightly." The wooden sticks supported in the cave are also added to it, and it should not be a problem to resist the tanning. ”
In this case, only nailing it to a wooden board is the easiest and most convenient. I just hope that the wind in winter will be lighter and not blow it down.
Just do it, Wen Xian led people to flatten the two in the cave first, tied them tightly together with the strips, and then tied the clothes in the gap.
But there are two small holes left under the coat for ventilation.
In order to avoid emergencies, she also tied a rope to each end of the tan. The rope falls down long and can be tied to the stones on both sides.
But if there are no special circumstances, it is not necessary to use these two ropes, so as not to be inconvenient to enter and exit.
