Chapter 81: Winter Coats and Shawls
As for where exactly this cotton comes from.
It turned out that when Orion went to Feng's hometown yesterday to return the donkey cart, he told him a few words about the situation.
Just in case, King Duan sent someone to Fangjia Village to investigate, and the people in the village shook off the fact that he had been to the village yesterday to seal his hometown.
After all, Feng Lao is an old bone, how can he stand the methods of those people?
Therefore, Orion was ready to let Feng Lao leave with him at first.
But when Feng Lao heard about it, he just stopped and said, "You just go, you don't have to tell the old man where you went." Don't worry about the old man, a hundred assassins can't help me. ”
"Hurry up! When the limelight passes, the old man will find a way to contact you. ”
Feng Lao impatiently drove Orion away, and Orion could only be cheeky to find him and make another deal.
With the pheasants and hares brought back from Qingyue Town, as well as five taels of silver, he exchanged some rice noodles and a large knife of pork with Feng Lao that he had just bought.
Also, a new quilt for the hometown.
Orion dismantled the quilt on the spot, took out all the cotton inside, and then wrapped it in a ball and stuffed it under the back basket.
Seeing his behavior, Feng Lao jumped like thunder on the spot and scolded him for destroying the heavens.
But after learning that this cotton was brought to Miss Jiang, Feng Lao instantly became amiable again: "Is one bed enough?" Otherwise, you bring another bed! Don't freeze the girl's hands, or I'll eat her food in the future? ”
Orion:......
Jiang Wancheng is not cold at the moment.
Because of cooking by the fire, even sweat on my face.
It's just that now I have brought a pot out, so I can only cook as simple as possible.
Yesterday, Sister Ya and Wen Erlang didn't eat well, so Jiang Wancheng decided to make them egg fried rice.
Boil the rice first, then drain and let it cool.
Throw the vegetable leaves in the rice soup and put some salt in it, and it is a soup.
Jiang Wancheng took out three eggs, not arrogantly, but now five hens and one rooster have been brought out, so every day, except for the two hens who don't lay eggs very much, they only go down once every day for three or two days, and the other three that she bought back in the town at the beginning laid eggs every day.
Therefore, nowadays eggs are not enough to eat.
Bring the lard to a boil, crack the three eggs into the pan, quickly stir them into egg drops, and add the rice that has just been left in the hole and has cooled quickly.
The rice and eggs quickly spread evenly, and Jiang Wancheng added salt and soy sauce.
Finally, sprinkle with a large handful of minced leeks.
Suddenly, the entire cave was filled with the thick aroma of egg fried rice.
Sister Ya'er was already squatting aside with a small bowl.
Wen Erlang couldn't read a word at all while holding the book.
As soon as Jiang Wancheng shouted to start eating, the Wen brothers immediately put down what they were in their hands and hurriedly walked over.
Jiang Wancheng and Sister Ya'er ate less, Wen Dalang and Wen Erlang, both of them were pointed out and out of the bowl.
This egg fried rice is meant to be eaten hot, and when it is served in the mouth, the lard and soy sauce are wrapped in rice grains and eggs, which is fragrant and moist.
The unique aroma of leeks makes this bowl of fried rice even more unique, in addition to the taste of egg fried rice, there is also a hint of spice.
As soon as you take a bite, you will feel satisfied.
Three mouthfuls and four mouthfuls, more and more unable to stop.
Until the feeling of satiety is already sufficient, I still can't help but want to eat the last grain of rice at the bottom of the bowl.
After the four of them finished eating, they all had a full burp.
But they all drank a small bowl of soup by themselves.
After drinking the soup, the hands and feet of the four people became hot.
After putting down the dishes and chopsticks, Wen Erlang went out to dig the snow.
Come in and pour the snow sand into the pot, and after the snow melts and the water is hot, Jiang Wancheng starts to wash the dishes.
Sister Ya'er grabbed the weeds she picked on the way yesterday and squatted next to the temporary chicken pen to feed the chickens.
On the other side, Orion is also busy.
Yesterday it was snowing, and the bedding was a lot wet, so the things that got wet from yesterday's hole were left to bake by the fire.
At this moment, those wet places had been dried, and Orion spread the futon that Jiang Wancheng and Sister Ya'er slept on on the stone slab where he had slept when he had spent the night here.
The other bed belonged to him and Wen Erlang, and it could only be spread on top of the weeds on the ground.
Between the two beds, Orion also tried his best to separate them with an old cloth curtain.
When he was done, Orion said he was going to go out.
After Jiang Wancheng reassured him about everything in the cave and asked him to pay attention to his safety, Orion put on a fur shawl against the wind and snow, and quickly disappeared from the field of vision of the three of them.
Wen Erlang sat at the entrance of the cave with a book and read it aloud by light.
Jiang Wancheng sat behind him and began to sew his winter coat from the cotton and azure cotton cloth that Orion had brought back.
Sister Ya'er plays with ants for a while, and plays with spiders in the corner for a while, but she is not boring.
At noon, Jiang Wancheng began to cook again.
She cut up the rest of the leeks.
Then put salt to kill the water, pinch the water dry, and put a small half of the pork to chop the filling.
Add soy sauce, salt and a little hot oil.
Finally, the dough was rolled out and more than 100 dumplings were made.
It was freezing cold, making so many dumplings at one time, and there was no refrigerator, so Jiang Wancheng spread a piece of cloth at the entrance of the cave, and then placed the dumplings neatly on it.
After a while, the dumplings were frozen hard.
In ancient times, there was no climate pollution, let alone chemical pollution, so the snow was very clean except for dust.
Not only can you boil water to eat, but it is not a problem to freeze dumplings.
Orion didn't return for a long time, Wen Erlang and Sister Ya'er were already hungry and couldn't stand it, so the three of them cooked dumplings and ate them first.
It wasn't until the evening that the Orion returned belatedly.
He was covered in snow, his body was huge, and he was tightly wrapped, and when he entered the cave, a black shadow suddenly broke in, like a beast!
also scared Jiang Wancheng and the three of them a lot.
After seeing that it was him, Wen Erlang and Sister Ya'er immediately surrounded him enthusiastically.
"Brother, you're back!"
Wen Erlang, who had been sitting at the entrance of the cave for most of the day, looked at his brother with concern, and sensibly stepped forward to help him take off his coat and fur shawl.
"Big brother, where have you been, is it fun outside?"
Orion touched Sister Ya'er's head: "It's freezing outside, Sister Ya'er can't go out at will." ”
Jiang Wancheng brought a bowl of hot water to Orion, and when she saw that he actually dragged a rabbit out of her arms again, Jiang Wancheng was taken aback.
"Da Lang-kun, it's hard work. Drink some hot water and warm up first! ”
Orion stared at her, and the light of the fire shone on her face, and it seemed that she was indeed not frozen again today.
Jiang Wancheng took Orion's already wet coat and fur, first patted the snow residue clean, and then cooled it on the pole and waited to be dried by the fire.
Orion drank water, looked at Jiang Wancheng and said, "I'll deal with this rabbit later." Coupled with the fur of the white rabbit before, after drying and processing in the past few days, the girl can temporarily make a shawl for herself. ”
Jiang Wancheng looked up at him in shock.
He caught rabbits to make her shawls?
And before, he asked Steward Liu of Qingyue Building to leave rabbit fur, could it be ...... Also for her shawl?
Seeing her look so shocked and moved, Orion curled the corners of his mouth.
This girl shouldn't be annoyed in her heart, he picked up her jade pendant but didn't return it, right? (End of chapter)
