70s Xiao Que Xing

Chapter 151 Cat Dong
Maybe it was because of the cold weather and lack of food, when Xie Xiaonian went up the mountain the next day, he found that he had really caught two hares.

Although it only weighs 1 or 2 catties, it is already very good to hunt 1 in just 2 day.

You must know that the people here may not be able to catch a wild animal in a month.

After Xie Xiaonian put the prey into the basket, she planned to find some dead branches to cover the basket, but who would have thought that she was lucky enough to dig up 5 or 6 pieces of Gastrodia elata, her luck was so good.

After returning home, Xie Xiaonian brought out 2 more pheasants and 1 hare from the space, pretending that they were hunted from the mountains.

Because there is little food in winter, the small animals on the mountain are relatively thin, so Xie Xiaonian took a long time to pick out a few relatively thin pheasants and hares from the space.

Xie Xiaonian is going to send a pheasant and a hare to the elder sister-in-law's house, and a hare to the second sister-in-law's house, and Xie Xiaonian is going to take the remaining pheasant and hare to the uncle's house tomorrow.

Xie Xiaonian took a tied pheasant and a hare, put them in a basket, and walked to the sister-in-law's house.

Because Xu's mother and the others usually stay in the house when they have nothing to do. Xu's mother and sister-in-law make shoes and mend clothes, while Xu's father and eldest brother weave some baskets at home.

So Xie Xiaonian went straight into the yard, and when he was about to reach the door, he shouted loudly: "Mother, sister-in-law, are you at home?"

"Here, Xiao Nian is here, come in quickly." Before Xie Xiaonian saw anyone, he heard his sister-in-law's hearty voice.

Opening the curtain, I saw my sister-in-law was putting on her shoes and preparing to get off the kang.

Xie Xiaonian quickly said: "Sister-in-law, you don't need to get off the kang, and there are no outsiders, just sit on the kang and keep warm!"

Seeing that Xie Xiaonian had already entered the main room, Li Suxin didn't continue to put on her shoes, and said to Xie Xiaonian: "Quickly put on your slippers on the kang to warm up, it's so cold outside, why are you here?"

"It's okay. I'm wearing thick clothes and it's not cold. It's been a long time since I went up the mountain. I took the time to go to the mountain twice in the past two days and put down a few nooses. I didn't expect to catch the prey today. Give you two, let you have a tooth-beating sacrifice." Saying that, Xie Xiaonian lifted the rags from the basket, and showed Xu Mu and the others the pheasants and hares inside.

"What are you doing with it? It's not easy for you to get a prey in this cold weather. You can just keep it for yourself. Why don't you give it to us?" Mother Xu blamed.

"Mom, this time I caught 5 at once. I can't eat them all by myself. Besides, it's not right to honor you and dad!" Xie Xiaonian said with a smile.

"5, so many, Xiao Nian, you are lucky. You caught so many prey at once, and only the old hunter in our village can catch so many." Mother Xu said in surprise.

"That's right, Xiao Nian, you are really good. Your elder brother hasn't caught any prey in February, and he hasn't even seen a chicken feather. He still refuses to accept that he is not good at hunting." The sister-in-law also said with a smile.

"Didn't I go to dig rivers and build roads before, didn't I catch it seriously, or I would have caught it long ago." Xu Zhongming, the eldest brother, saw his wife demolishing him in front of his younger siblings, and quickly argued.

"Hahaha……"

After hearing the elder brother's exasperated excuse, everyone in the room laughed.

Xie Xiaonian didn't want to embarrass his elder brother too much, so he quickly changed the subject and said: "It may be because it snowed before and the animals on the mountain were starved to death, so these days the activities are more frequent, so we can catch so many. I can't catch anything. Fortunately, it's cold today, even if the rabbit is frozen to death, it's not bad." The two rabbits that Xie Xiaonian brought back from the mountain were already frozen to death.

"Then when the children come back from school in the evening, we will stew the pheasant, peel the rabbit and freeze it, and save the laba for eating. Xiao Nian, you will also eat here at night." Seeing Xie Xiaonian, Xu's mother sincerely gave Yes, he took the basket and said.

The three younger children of the elder brother's family all went to the elementary school in the neighboring village, and they didn't come back at noon.

The eldest, Xu Lanhua, is in the third year of junior high school in the commune, so she can only get home at 5 or 6 pm, and the family can gather at night.

When Xu Zhongming heard that his mother had taken it, he immediately took out the prey from the basket and went to the kitchen to dispose of the prey.

And the sister-in-law happily went to help boil the hot water to remove the chicken.

"Okay, then I'll have dinner with you tonight." Xie Xiaonian replied.

Then he said to Xu's father and Xu's mother: "I still want to send a rabbit to my second sister-in-law's house, so I will go back first, and I will come over to help cook in the evening."

"Okay, you go back first, just don't forget to come for dinner tonight." Seeing that Xie Xiaonian didn't dislike the second child's family because of the previous incident, Xu's mother was even more satisfied with Xie Xiaonian as she wanted to send hares to the second child's family .

As she gets older, she wants to see the whole family in harmony.

Xie Xiaonian's second sister-in-law, Fan Min, although she has a lot of eyes and is greedy for small things, she is still very content, so she is very happy to see the things Xie Xiaonian gave her. Also temporarily forgot.

After Xie Xiaonian finished delivering the things, she remembered the shoes her sister-in-law and sister-in-law were making, so she decided to paste and fill the soles herself, and make next year's shoes.

Although Xu Zhongjun will distribute uniform shoes in the army and school, but after all, it is not as comfortable as making it himself.

Moreover, she is married, so she can't always let the elder sister-in-law and the others help her, she should take care of everything by herself.

Just do what you say, Xie Xiaonian is in the space in the afternoon, with a layer of paste and a layer of rags, he has finished the things needed to make the soles, and when it is completely dry, he can make shoes.

Because the space is warm and the time difference is large, I can start making shoes in the evening.

Xie Xiaonian plans to make two pairs of shoes for herself and Xu Zhongjun every season.

Then I plan to make two more pairs of cotton slippers, so that it is convenient to get up at night, and I don't have to worry about putting on shoes anymore.

In the evening, Xie Xiaonian went to the sister-in-law's house early to help cook. Although the pheasant is not too big, the sister-in-law put a lot of fungus, mushrooms and potatoes in the pot, stewed a big pot of vegetables, and the smell is also special The fragrance, when Xie Xiaonian was helping at the side, she started to feel a little greedy.

And the children were very happy. Although they ate meat many times this year, they were still hungry.

They felt that since they had their aunt, they ate meat more frequently, so they loved Xie Xiaonian very much, surrounded by Xie Xiaonian, and the aunt kept barking.

Now in their hearts, the status of the little aunt is higher than anyone else, who will let the little aunt have meat to eat.

"Auntie, when are you going to the mountains again? How about I go with you? I also want to hunt, so I can eat meat every day in the future." Wei Guo said greedily.

"It's cold now, I won't go into the mountains after a few more visits. When spring comes next year, if you still want to go hunting in the mountains, I'll take you there again." Xie Xiaonian thought that even in winter, he would not be able to hunt. things, and it's still so cold, it's better not to take Weiguo up the mountain now.

"Okay then, you must take me there next year!" Although Xu Weiguo was very disappointed, he still said obediently.

"Don't worry, I will take you there!" Xie Xiaonian assured Wei Guo when he saw how well-behaved he was.

In the evening, after Xie Xiaonian went back after eating, the cloth that was pasted in the morning was already dry, so Xie Xiaonian bought two pairs of laminated bottoms first, made two pairs of cotton slippers, prepared to wear a pair for himself, and give a pair to his uncle's house tomorrow.

When the time comes, let the eldest sister-in-law and the others compare and make a few pairs by themselves. Such slippers are more convenient to wear in the house.

And when he came back from his uncle's house, Xie Xiaonian was also going to teach Mother Xu and the others.

After finishing the slippers, Xie Xiaonian went to see the wine she made, which was fully fermented at this time.

However, the wine she made was not deep red, but a bit like red, and the wine she didn't sell was clear and transparent, and the wine taste was not strong.

But the fragrance is very pure, and there is no peculiar smell.

Xie Xiaonian took a sip and found it a little sour and astringent. Although she put a lot of sugar at that time, the wine she made was not sweet. Compared with the current wine, she still prefers sweeter wine.

Xie Xiaonian just drank half a bowl of wine, and felt a little over the top. She knew that she was drinking less now, so she quickly put down the small bowl, not daring to drink any more.

After returning from his uncle's house the next day, Xie Xiaonian would go to the mountains when the weather was fine, and sometimes go to his sister-in-law's house for a sit-down, but stayed at home every day without going out, and really entered the cat winter mode.

Because there is a kang in the house, and the space is very warm, so even if there is a storm outside, Xie Xiaonian can live comfortably at home.

And because you can hear and see outside movements in the space, Xie Xiaonian spends most of his time in the space.

But in order to prevent Xu's mother or others from coming to the house suddenly, and if the chimney in the house does not smoke, others will be suspicious, so Xie Xiaonian will burn the kang several times a day, and boil some water when cooking. Create some illusions.

Recently, Xie Xiaonian has been trying to make pastries from her past life when she is free in the space.

At the beginning, because there was no oven, she used the ground pot to make various pastries that did not require an oven, such as steamed cakes, mung bean cakes, sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, and bozai cakes.

Although the color is a bit ugly because of the homemade cane sugar, it is still delicious.In addition, it may be due to the ingredients, she thinks the taste is better than what she made in her previous life.

Then she used the milk to make desserts such as nest custard, stewed double skin milk, and milk tea.

Although there is no oven, many desserts cannot be made, but there are also many things that can be made without an oven, so Xie Xiaonian is still very content with being able to eat so many desserts.

Although she did a lot, Xie Xiaonian really didn't eat much. She mainly enjoyed the process of doing it and the sense of accomplishment after completion.

But Xie Xiaonian didn't dare to take it out and share it with others, after all, many of the raw materials needed for these things are not available at home.

Even if she had some, she wouldn't be able to take them out. After all, flour, eggs, and sugar are more expensive, and they are not seasonable. If Xu's mother knew that she used these things to make pastries, she would definitely call her a prodigal. .

No matter how much Xu's mother likes her, she will be unhappy to see her like this. After all, she doesn't get work points now. Everyone thinks that she is supported by Xu Zhongjun. I believe that no one would like a daughter-in-law holding a son. His hard-earned money was spent indiscriminately.

So Xie Xiaonian kept the finished things in the space all the time, and took them out when there was a suitable opportunity.

In this way, the day slowly came to the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, because Xie Xiaonian had received a letter from Xu Zhongjun before and knew his new address, so Xie Xiaonian was going to the commune today to send clothes, shoes and some food to Xu Zhongjun .

And today is the fair, she can go shopping.

Now it's the twelfth lunar month, and some people are starting to buy cloth for new clothes and new year's goods, so Xie Xiaonian thought, the market will definitely be very lively.

It happened to be able to go to the county to sell some things, and then go to the garbage station that she had wanted for a long time.

When reading novels in the previous life, didn’t the protagonist always go to the garbage station, and for a few cents, he could get a lot of antiques, she can try it too!
