Chapter 50 Snow and Hot Pot
……

As soon as the twelfth lunar month entered, a new notice was pasted on the notice board at the entrance of "Phil Sweet": "Phil Sweet" will be closed for seven days from the 29th of the twelfth lunar month to the sixth day of the new year during the Spring Festival. For bulk orders, please book in advance.

Yang Feier has always attached great importance to these traditional festivals. These days are the days of family reunion and sharing. I don’t want to be tied down by any chores. It’s time to have fun all year round.

The 23rd year of the twelfth lunar month represents the beginning of the Chinese New Year from this day.Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Shen led Feng Ling and Feng Min to sweep the dust and deliver the stove. Although the new house they just moved was clean everywhere, they had to do it well. In the evening, they put a firecracker on the outer gate to bid farewell to Lord Stove, hoping that he would "go to heaven to play good deeds." , the lower realms will keep you safe."

Hu Kang took his twins and Yang Feier and set off various fireworks outside the door. Some could fly in the shape of a butterfly, those in the shape of a top could spray sparks upward while spinning, and those in the shape of a car. He rushed forward a foot away... Yang Feier stood aside with his neighbors on the left and right. I have also become a naive child.

On the 25th, to make tofu, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Chen took Feng Ling and Feng Min to the tofu shop to line up early in the morning. They brought two large barrels of soybeans soaked the night before, and another Take two bamboo baskets with empty buckets, and tofu takes up more space than soybeans, so a bucket with a load of buckets will definitely not fit it.

At noon, the snowflakes fell from the sky. At first, they were only fragmentary, and fell to the ground for a short time. In the afternoon, they began to fall seriously. Large flakes of snowflakes fell like catkins, and the ground was completely white in a short while. .

This is the first snow in the strict sense of this winter. There have been two previous snowfalls, but it was just like rain or snow.

Yang Feier always felt inexplicably sad and inexplicably sad when it was snowing for the first time, and it was the same today. He didn't want to work in the shop, so he just came back and stood alone at the door of the study, reaching out to pick up the chaotic white elves. They all slipped through the fingers, and some landed on the hands, and before you could look closely, they had already turned into a crystal drop.

At this moment, Yang Feier felt extremely lonely, as if she was the only one left in the world.

In the midst of sentimentality, the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open, and a person was standing at the door wearing a dark blue cloak, a thin layer of snow fell on his shoulders, and the white fox fur on the top of the cap was soft and fluffy, covering the visitor's face with a few hands He stopped, only showing those black eyes looking at Yang Feier, exhaling white air from his mouth.

Yang Feier exclaimed: "Hey, why are you here?"

Zhang Fuzhen said: "I saw that it was snowing, and I was worried that you would miss me, so I asked the master for half a day's leave, and rushed here."

Zhang Fuzhen stood at the gate of the courtyard and said.

……

Yang Feier was speechless for a while.Said: "It's snowing heavily, what are you doing while standing in the snow, don't feel too cold to panic, come in quickly."

Zhang Fuzhen said: "It's not cold, I rode all the way here, my body is warm."

He said again, "How about I take you to ride a horse?"

Yang Feier said: "It's snowing heavily, what kind of horse are you riding! I won't go, I'm afraid of the cold."

Zhang Fuzhen went straight on the snow, stepped on a series of footprints on the flat snow, took Yang Feier's hand, put it in the palm of his hand, and said softly: "It's not cold, trust me, we only walk around here Turn and go back."

Without waiting for Yang Feier to refute, he pulled her outside.

These days, Zhang Fuzhen always comes over every time he comes to Muxiu. When he comes, he chats with Hu Kang about his studies, guides the twins to read and write, and then studies in Yang Feier's study. He also brought some books on his own initiative. Come here, Yang Feier went to do her work, he just treated this study as his own.

The adults of the Hu family saw it, and they also had some doubts in their hearts, but seeing that their girls were only busy with their own affairs, and did not go to the study, and the young master of the Zhang family only talked to the Hu Kang twins, thinking: "Maybe this picture Young master of the family just came here to relax, and he was afraid of delaying the study of the three brothers, and had no other intentions, but I was afraid that we were thinking too much." He put this matter aside, and didn't ask any more questions.

Yang Feier also blamed himself for his indifference to Zhang Fuzhen, so at this time Zhang Fuzhen took her to ride a horse in the snow, she couldn't insist on going any longer, and said: "Okay, I'll go, wait I'll change into thicker clothes."

Zhang Fuzhen was waiting outside the study room. After a while, Yang Feier came out. In addition to changing into a pink thick padded lapel gown, he also put on a darker cloak and pink-purple mask gloves. , Wrap yourself tightly, like a bud on a peach tree in March.

There is no way, the clothes are all handled by the Wang family and the Shen family. They prefer to make clothes of these colors for her, saying that little girls have to wear such bright colors, they look good!Therefore, Yang Feier's wardrobe is full of shades of red, pink and purple.

Zhang Fuzhen couldn't help laughing when he saw her wearing so many layers of pink, he naturally took her over and hugged her, looked down at her, and said, "I said it's not cold, but you don't believe me."

Apart from being so close in the valley, it was the first time for the two of them to get so close outside in such a long time. Suddenly, both of them who were defenseless were beating like drums. Yang Feier quickly pushed him away, bowed his head and said: "Didn't you say you want to ride a horse? Let's go quickly. You go ahead, and I will follow you."

Zhang Fuzhen smiled, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and took the lead in striding out of the small courtyard, and went straight out of Hu's house. Yang Feier followed behind, and went to the gatehouse. From the window, he saw old man Qiu sitting There was a fire by the stove, the hearth was covered with an iron plate, and a handful of peanuts were roasted on it. Yang Feier called him, "Grandpa Qiu, Fu Zhen and I will go out to play for a while, and we will be back soon. If my parents and the others ask Come on, please tell them."

Old man Qiu eats and drinks ready-made food recently, and his clothes are washed by others. He just cleans the door and courtyard every day, and keeps an eye on the door.

Seeing the young lady of the owner's house calling him, she hurriedly stood up and said hello, and then took care of her: "The road is slippery in snowy weather, be careful, don't fall anywhere."

Yang Feier responded loudly as he walked out.

Zhang Fuzhen was waiting on the horse, and Yang Feier walked up to him, wondering: "Didn't you mean to ride a horse? Why is there only one horse?"

Zhang Fuzhen stretched out his hand and said, "Give me your hand, and step on the stirrup, and I will pull you up."

Yang Feier looked up at him, the young man on the horse was full of heroism in the heavy snow, and Ni Ni was arrogant. Thinking of the affection that such a young man had for him, he felt a sense of pride in his heart, so he stretched out his hand to him, and stomped on him. On the stirrups, one hand grasped the back of the saddle, Zhang Fuzhen pulled it hard, and she used her strength to jump onto the horse's back and sit behind Zhang Fuzhen.

Zhang Fuzhen said: "You sit firmly in the back." After saying that, he urged the horse to move forward.

Walking all the way outside the city, Zhang Fuzhen got off his horse and asked Yang Feier to sit forward. He went up and sat behind Yang Feier again, and wrapped Yang Feier up again with his cloak, revealing only the Come with two eyes.

As a result, Yang Feier found that the top of his head only reached Zhang Fuzhen's chin, and his whole body almost fell into Zhang Fuzhen's arms.

Zhang Fuzhen put his legs between the horse's belly, and said "drive" in a low voice!The horse raised its front hooves and neighed, causing Yang Feier to hold on to a handle on the saddle tightly, terrified in his heart, but he leaned against a thick and warm wall behind him, and immediately felt comforted Take it easy.

As soon as the horse's front hooves hit the ground, it started to run wildly. He could only hear the cold wind whistling in his ears, and the scenery around him quickly retreated. But the feeling is completely different. If the speed exceeds forty, it will make people feel that they are already flying fast, and the heart will feel a little lack of oxygen.

Running straight to a deserted place in one breath, Zhang Fuzhen reined in his horse and walked slowly, trusting the horse in the vast snowy field.

The heavy snow is still falling on the ground, there is no wind, and it just falls straight down like this. The sound of snowflakes hitting the ground can be heard in the surroundings quietly, and the horse is panting, snorting, and spraying white snow. Air dissipates in snowflakes.

Zhang Fuzhen got off the horse, helped Yang Feier off the horse, held the rein in one hand, and held Yang Feier's hand in the other. The two walked forward slowly without saying a word, and there was no sound at this time.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter when everything is dying, the empty wilderness, the lonely land, is quiet and peaceful, with Qiongzhi and jade leaves, pink and jade, all of the same color.

The two walked hand in hand, as if they could go forever...

~~
The two returned to the Hu residence, entered the study room, took off their cloaks, shook off the snow on them, and hung them on the clothes hangers in the house. A stove had been brought into the study room before the twelfth lunar month, and Yang Feier had finished drawing a picture of a chimney. According to the pattern, I went to the blacksmith's shop to make a tin chimney, and let the gas flow out of the window, so that I don't have to worry about gas poisoning, and there are all houses.

Here, Yang Feier opened the furnace door, and after a while, the fire came up, and the two of them gathered around the stove to warm up the chill on their bodies. It was already past five o'clock in the unitary hour, and the sky was getting dark, so Yang Feier lit the lamp , the yard is quiet and quiet. The three brothers are all reading and writing in their rooms. The adults have not come back yet. The store has been working overtime every day during this time. Now it is cold and easy to store. Orders from each family are placed There are a lot of them, and the production room works in three shifts continuously, day and night. They are all familiar with it, and Yang Feier has nothing to do.

Suddenly there was a voice outside, it was Wang Shi and Shen Shi who came back, Yang Feier and Zhang Fuzhen went out to meet them together, only to see Wang Shi and Chen Shi each brought in a load of water buckets, and then followed Feng Ling Feng Min, the two of them went out to greet each other. Holding a large vegetable basket in his arm, he was heading towards the kitchen.

Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Shen put down the bucket, and looked back to see that Zhang Fuzhen was there. They were also surprised. Mrs. Wang said, "Fuzhen is here. It's such a cold day, so don't freeze." Mrs. Shen said, "It's a coincidence that you came today , the new year tofu, I will cook it for you to try later."

Zhang Fuzhen said hello to the two, and Yang Feier went to look at Fengling Fengmin's basket, which contained a basket of dried tofu, a basket of thousands of pieces, Fengling Fengmin went to the well to fetch water again, and put the tofu When raised with dry seeds, Qianzhang was supposed to be cut out to dry in the sun, depending on the weather, that's all. Let's keep them in the water together.

But Yang Feier said: "I'll make a fresh way to eat tonight for you to try."

Although Zhang Fuzhen came here often, he was still a guest. After finishing the meals for the apprentices, he set up another table in the main room. The whole family and Zhang Fuzhen surrounded the two red clay stoves on the table. There is a large pot of chicken soup stewed in a double-eared wide pot. Inside the soup is chopped chicken, with a few scallions and red dates on top. The green is green and red, and it is really beautiful.The chicken was stewed in the afternoon and can be eaten directly.

The other is a pot of red soup with a red layer of spicy oil floating on it. On the table are a plate of tofu, a plate of thousand sheets, a plate of pork belly, a plate of mutton, a plate of beef, a plate of fish fillets, a plate of egg dumplings, and a plate of pork belly. Basket of cabbage, spinach, vermicelli, coriander, and shiitake mushrooms were all raw, and everyone asked, "How do you eat this?"

Yang Feier smiled and said, "Eat now." He said, sandwiched the meat and egg dumplings, and put them in two kinds of soups to cook.

How can there be no hot pot in snowy weather?

Yang Feier and Wang are afraid of spicy food, so they are the only ones who eat the chicken soup pot, and everyone else rushes to the spicy soup pot.
