Chapter 241 The Life of a Cook



It snowed quietly in the night.

When Cao Xiangnan opened the door in the morning, he paused for a moment standing at the doorway, realizing that it was snowing. It was white outside, and the whole world had become a world of snow. Yesterday, people were still saying that it would snow soon, and it really snowed today.

He looked up at the sky, which was gray and vast. I was afraid that it would snow again today.

He thought of the chickens, rabbits, sheep and horses in the backyard, as well as the vegetables planted in the shed and the mushrooms in the house. He pushed the hat on his head down a little and tied the scarf around his neck tightly. It was really freezing today. He muttered to himself as he went to the backyard to take a look.

"Woof woof woof..." Two dogs came over with the snow, and shook their fur in front of him, throwing all the snowflakes on his body onto him.

"..."Cao Xiangnan.

I heard that eating dog meat in winter is especially nutritious, I wonder if it's true! Cao Xiangnan glanced at the two dogs with a fierce look in his eyes. It seemed that they felt something was wrong. The two dogs, one black and one white, couldn't resist the other. They raised their drooping triangular eyes and glanced at their owner. Let

you two go for now!

Humph!

Cao Xiangnan was rarely arrogant and took the two dogs to patrol the backyard.

Fortunately, the pens here have been roofed. In this weather, the chickens have all hidden in the shed. The two big fat rabbits are also curled up in the pile of hay in the corner. The lambs in the sheepfold are taken care of by the ewes, so the lambs are fine. When a few sheep saw him coming, they bleated, probably because they were hungry.

Seeing him coming, Lao Hei snorted in dissatisfaction. Xiao Bai was much more docile. Seeing him coming, he looked at him with a pair of lively eyes, "Wait, I'll get you some hay." Cao Xiangnan reached out and touched the white horse. As if it could understand what he said, the white horse touched him with its mouth.

Everything has a spirit, that's probably it.

He had only seen horses on TV before, but he didn't expect to have his own horse here. It's the two rabbits that he planned to fatten up and slaughter for food, but they haven't been slaughtered yet, so he'll just keep them.

Cao Xiangnan was just about to go to the house to get some hay when he saw a child walking towards him on short legs in the white world. He put his hand on his forehead. This child...

ran out in this weather!

"Uncle Xiangnan." He knew his uncle was here, Xiangzi called out, and there was joy in his voice.

Cao Xiangnan stood there, waiting for the child to come to him. Seeing that the child was dressed properly, he felt relieved and said, "Let's go, let's get some fodder to feed the horses and sheep."

"Yes." He nodded heavily, and he did all these jobs.

Cao Xiangnan took the child behind him to the house to get some fodder, put some in the sheep pen, and put some in the horse shed. The water in the trough had already frozen, and they had to get some warm water for the sheep and horses.

"Uncle, it's frozen." Xiangzi pointed at the water in the trough and said.

"Well, the temperature is too low, so it's frozen. Let's get some hot water and pour it over." It's so cold today, and we don't even know how to cook breakfast. Breakfast hasn't been cooked yet! Cao Xiangnan put his hand on the child's shoulder and said, "Let's go home first."

Just then, Aning got up and was about to go to the next room to see if the child was awake. Then he saw Cao Xiangnan and Xiangzi coming in from outside. The moment the door opened, he saw that everything outside was white. He asked, "Is it snowing outside?"

"Yes, it's too cold. Don't go out if you have nothing to do. It's afraid that it will snow again today. You and the kids shouldn't go to the academy today. The teacher won't give classes in such weather." The two dogs followed them into the house. A gust of cold wind blew in through the open door. Cao Xiangnan closed the back door to block the wind from outside, and the house was much warmer.

The academy had already agreed that people didn't need to go out on snowy days. I think everyone wouldn't go out in such weather.

Aning nodded, knowing that it was not good to take the children out in such weather. "I'll go in and see if the child is awake," he said.

Throwing a few sticks of firewood into the fireplace, the fire burned brighter and the room became much warmer. Cao Xiangnan took down the kettle hanging on the wall, poured out the hot water, and scooped cold water into it. There was a small water tank next to it for easy access to water.

"Xiangzi, sit here and drink some water. If you are hungry, eat some snacks to fill your stomach. Breakfast will be available later." After pouring a glass of water for the child and drinking a sip of water himself, Cao Xiangnan asked, "What do you want for breakfast?"

This is a headache for everyone who is responsible for cooking. Cao Xiangnan cooks every day and doesn't know what to cook. In this kind of weather, the simpler the better? It seems to be the case.

Xiangzi held the cup in his hand and looked at his uncle Xiangnan, saying, "It's all right."

"Okay, I'll do it later." Cao Xiangnan couldn't help but smile, and warmed his hands to dispel the coldness on his body, wondering if the person in the room had woken up. He asked the child to stay here and drink water, and then he went into the house and closed the door.

The doors and windows in the house were closed, and the windows blocked the light from outside. The room was dark, which was suitable for sleeping in the winter. However, the person on the bed had woken up. When Cao Xiangnan came in and saw the person on the bed moving, he knew that the person had woken up. He leaned over, kissed the person sleeping in the quilt, and told him that it was snowing outside.

"It's snowing." With a little surprise, the window in the house lowered the shutters and closed, so he couldn't see outside. Qi Wanfeng subconsciously looked up at the window, as if he wanted to see outside through the closed window.

"Bo" The two exchanged a light kiss, expressing their affection and love for each other.

"The children are not going to the academy today, they will stay at home. I will send them to Bai Lian's house and play with the children for a while." Seeing that the person on the bed was about to get up, Cao Xiangnan helped him up, took the clothes beside him and put them on, and asked, "Do you want to go together?"

"Okay." Qi Wanfeng yawned with his hands covering his mouth, and the whole person revealed a lazy aura.

"Then after breakfast, you can come with us, we can go for a walk together." Even if it was snowing outside, Cao Xiangnan would not forbid the children to go out or keep them at home. Keeping a group of monkeys at home would really be a big fuss, so it would be better to let them go out and play to vent their excess energy.

The adults and children at home have prepared a batch of winter clothes. The winter clothes produced in the clothing workshop have greatly met their material needs for the winter.

"Did the little guy bother you?" This is not a question, but an affirmative sentence. Cao Xiangnan reached in and found the little guy's position accurately. He put his hand on it and felt the lively little life.

Qi Wanfeng gradually got used to her husband's kisses, and he even liked doing these intimate things with her husband, putting his hand on the back of his hand.

After the servant got up, he brought in a washbasin with hot water and wiped the person's face. He then helped the person sit on the sofa outside the living room and told the person not to go out because it was cold outside and to stay in the house to keep warm.

Cao Xiangnan carried the hot water over to give water to the horses and sheep in the backyard. Lao Hei, who was difficult to serve, complained that he was slow and snorted twice. Fortunately, he jumped fast, otherwise he would have sneezed all over his face.

"That's enough!" Cao Xiangnan pointed at the horse that bullied him, Black Face. The

one who answered him was Lao Hei, who had a long horse face. He was so angry that he wanted to cut off the water and food for this black horse and let it starve for two days.

He wondered in his heart how he bought this horse? Oh, it was Cao Gang who picked it! How come this horse is as obedient as a rabbit in front of Cao Gang? But it is lawless here. This is the evil world of horses that bullies the weak and fears the strong!

The thirsty horse lowered its head to drink water, and the sheep in the sheepfold over there were bleating.

I have cleaned up several pens, and it is really smelly to raise so many chickens. I will bear with you for a few months. When my wife gives birth, I will kill one a day, and kill all of them for my wife to replenish her body, Cao Xiangnan thought bitterly while cleaning the chicken coop.

Pour the chicken feces that were cleaned out into the vegetable field in the shed to use as fertilizer.

"It snowed today."

"Yeah, it's too cold."

"Would you like to come in and sit down?"

"No, I'll go back first."

In the morning, Wang Dahu brought him goat's milk, said hello and left.

The boiled goat's milk, adults and children each have to drink a bowl, and the children have also gone from resistance to now getting used to it. In the past six months, the three children in the family have grown up at a visible speed, and have grown a lot taller. At

this moment, the adults and children in the family have woken up, the fireplace is burning in the living room, and the children are making noises in the living room. Qi Wanfeng and Aning sit together and chat, and Cao Xiangnan, the cook, goes to the kitchen outside to cook.

The porridge and steamed buns were being cooked in the stove. The buns were made a few days ago and they were almost all eaten today. I had to make more buns. I made more this time. Buns can be kept for a long time in this kind of weather. I just needed to make more and heat them up when I wanted to eat them. The children sometimes like to roast buns in the afternoon. They tasted especially good when they were dipped in jam or honey.

He beat the eggs skillfully and fried a pot of eggs in the pot to serve with the porridge later.

He roasted a tray of chestnuts and put them in a basket to take to Cao Gang to peel them for the children to eat as snacks.

"Come and eat," Cao Xiangnan called out when he came in.

Qi Wanfeng raised his eyes and their eyes met in the air. His eyes were filled with smiles.

"Dad."

"Uncle Xiangnan."

"Hey." Cao Xiangnan reached out and touched the two little radish heads, picked up An'an who was climbing on him, held his buttocks in his arms, and couldn't help but bite the child's red face, biting the child and making him cry.

"Dad is naughty!" An'an cried, and climbed down into his father's arms with four feet.

"Hahaha..." The two adults next to them laughed uncontrollably, and even the children followed suit and laughed happily.

Seeing that his little An'an was angry, Cao Xiangnan quickly caught him back and hugged him to comfort him. Qi Wanfeng saw a faint red mark on the child's face and gave her husband a look. Cao Xiangnan had no shame.

After everyone had breakfast, they went to the opposite side to sneak in.
