Chapter 1189 Snow
It was so cold in winter, so keeping warm was very important. So she bought a lot of thick clothes, shoes, socks, quilts, firewood, charcoal and other items, and stocked them up.
After the twelfth lunar month, the festive atmosphere in the capital becomes stronger day by day.
It is worthy of being the capital of a country, at the feet of the emperor, and this bustle is unique.
Every household has started purchasing New Year's goods, and Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan are no exception.
The two of them were country people who came to the city. They were dazzled by the sight, but they had plenty of money, so they bought whatever they liked. Before they knew it, they had a lot of New Year's goods stored at home.
At the beginning of summer and the beginning of autumn, I enthusiastically made a lot of meatballs and pickled some bacon.
On that day, in the evening, dark clouds gathered in the sky. The clouds became thicker and heavier. Experienced old people saw it and said that it was going to snow heavily.
Qiao Xuan had already sensed the snow in the air through her special powers. This snow was not only coming soon, but would also be heavy.
Sure enough, when dusk fell and the sky became hazy, by the time people noticed, snowflakes were already floating silently in the sky, and soon, they began to flutter heavily.
Before going to bed at night, a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the ground, and the flowers and trees in the yard were covered with only soft undulating outlines.
The next day, I woke up and saw the bright light through the window. When I left the house, the fresh air hit me in the face, refreshing my lungs.
It is cold, but there seems to be a layer of brightness, clarity and purity in the sky. The air washed by snow can make people feel obviously different even if there is nothing in it.
A lot brighter.
The snow has stopped, and the bright sunshine is shining down, making everything crystal clear, white and clean.
From time to time, laughter and noises could be heard outside the yard. It was the children from various families in the alley having fun.
It happened that Shao Yunduan was at home on a day off, so Qiao Xuan walked into the house, puffing out a breath and said to him with a smile, "This weather is really nice, let's go out of the city and go up the mountain to enjoy the snow scenery! If we are lucky, we might even be able to pick up pheasants or rabbits!"
"It just snowed heavily, and the pheasants and rabbits are not able to move easily. Once they fall into the snow, they can't get up. In addition, when it gets cold, their movements are much slower, and they look particularly stupid, so they are easy to catch. Let's try our luck!"
Qiao Xuan's eyes were sparkling, and her smiling face was full of anticipation.
How could Shao Yunduan have the heart to refuse? Although he would rather stay at home with his wife in such weather, talk in the warmth, and eat a hot pot in the evening.
"Okay, let's get ready and go. Go early and come back early. The sun sets early in winter, and it will get much colder after noon!"
"Um!"
So Songshi hurried to rent a carriage. Lixia and Liqiu had already prepared breakfast, which was served immediately. They also took out a fur cloak, deerskin boots, a hand warmer, a charcoal basin, charcoal, a thermos for keeping warm, and so on.
The few of them moved quickly and set off after breakfast.
Leave Liqiu and Lixia at home to look after the house, while Songshi drives the cart away together.
Before going out, Qiao Xuan asked Liqiu and Lixia to prepare the soup base and various vegetables and meat for hotpot in the evening.
All kinds of meat are abundant in this twelfth lunar month. Fatty lamb and beef are cut into thin slices, which are most suitable for hot pot.
The two happily agreed.
In addition to beef and mutton, there are also ribs, fish balls, meatballs, vegetarian meatballs, pig blood, vermicelli, winter melon slices, lotus root slices, taro slices, cabbage, tofu, and bean curd. I will also make some egg dumplings and buy some mutton offal. I also have fresh pea sprouts and soybean sprouts at home.
