Hu Xiaoyi was a little hesitant. It was rare for others to treat him so well, so he wanted to stay a little longer.
"Why don't you and your daughter come closer to the charcoal brazier, then you won't be cold."
Seeing that Hu Xiaoyi didn't want to leave, Li Aihua frowned and looked a little unhappy.
"If you don't want to go back, I will go back with my daughter."
After Li Aihua said this, Hu Xiaoyi's wandering thoughts suddenly returned to reality.
But he still struggled a bit, "It's not good for us to leave so early."
"Look, it's snowing again. If we stay any longer, our shoes will be soaked by the snow on the way back!"
Hu Xiaoyi glanced at the sky in the yard.
"Then let's go back."
Hu Xiaoyi went over to say goodbye to the Hu family, and Li Aihua walked towards Hu Lin.
Hu Lin, who was standing under the eaves, watched Hu Xiaoyi and Li Aihua whispering for a long time. She became impatient and waited until they finished.
"Girl, let's put on our raincoats and hats first."
Hu Lin didn't answer and went down to the eaves next to the gate.
Hanging there were their worn raincoats and bamboo hats.
The two were getting dressed when Hu Xiaoyi came over.
All three of them dressed and went back.
On the way back, just as Li Aihua had said, the snow was very thick and the reed shoes they were wearing were soaked.
My feet were so frozen that I couldn't feel them anymore. Rabbit fur was of no use in sub-zero weather.
When we got home, we were all frozen and felt our blood was cold.
Li Aihua and Hu Xiaoyi hurried to heat the kang.
Hu Lin went to the kitchen to get the thermos and poured himself a cup of boiling water, then held the enamel cup to absorb the heat.
When the kang bed was heated up, Hu Lin lay down on it to keep warm.
It’s so damn cold in winter!
After that, Hu Lin never went out again that winter.
Li Aihua and Hu Xiaoyi also stayed at home.
Taking advantage of the free time in winter, Li Aihua experiments with wild game every day.
I tried to make what my daughter said, which is a wild game flavor that tastes good even when cold, and is not greasy or fishy.
Until one day, she suddenly had an idea to add sugar made from beets to the game.
Then I finally succeeded, but the sugar made from beets was a bit bitter, and the meat also tasted a bit bitter.
After tasting it, my daughter said she would go to the supply and marketing cooperative in spring to buy some brown sugar to try.
At the beginning of spring, Hu Lin went out with the money to find Zhao Ming to settle the money for Li Aihua's medicine for a year.
Before going out, she asked Li Aihua for twenty yuan in case of emergency.
It was quite cold when the snow melted in spring, and she didn't want to make an extra trip.
When she arrived at the health room, Zhao Ming was already waiting for her.
Seeing her come in, he took out an account book, handed it to her, and asked her to check the accounts.
Hu Lin sat in a chair and flipped through the books.
Zhao Ming poured her a cup of warm water and placed it next to her.
The account book for one year was neither thick nor thin. Hu Lin looked at it for about ten minutes.
In order to use meat to pay for medicine, I have to pay 13.5 yuan from last year to now.
Hu Lin took out the money and gave it to Zhao Ming.
Zhao Ming took it and asked, "When will your mother come over to take your pulse?"
"Wait a few days. She has been sowing seeds in her private plot these days." Hu Lin got up and left.
After returning, Hu Lin gave the remaining money to Li Aihua.
A few days later, Li Aihua cleaned up the fields and went to Zhao Ming to get some medicine. Then she took the eggs that had been stored for two months to the supply and marketing cooperative to sell them, and then bought some money for the household.
Hu Xiaoyi went to the fields to earn work points, while Hu Lin went to the mountains to exercise and set traps.
After Li Aihua bought the brown sugar, she made the dish again with some dried game.
After tasting it, Hu Lin nodded and said, "I will catch some fresh prey in a couple of days. You can make another one to try."
"Yeah." Li Aihua nodded happily.
If only air-dried game can produce such a taste, then her entrepreneurial plan will have to be delayed.
Wait for the air-drying time.
"Take this and give it to Zhao Ming to try.
By the way, ask him how much is appropriate if he sells it to people in the county town."
Zhao Ming had at least experienced affluence before, and he was unwilling to compromise on food, so he must be well aware of this.
You can let him try out the potential of this way of eating in the current market.
"Okay, I'll take it to Dr. Zhao to try in the afternoon."
Li Aihua said as she took the game back to the kitchen, put it in the chest of drawers, and started to cook lunch.
After lunch, Li Aihua took her basket to the health center and asked Doctor Zhao to help her taste the food. It was time for her to get the medicine.
A dose of medicine should be taken for three days. Once you start taking it, you cannot stop and have to take it until winter.
Zhao Ming originally thought that Li Aihua came to get a prescription for medicine, but he didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to try a new product.
He gave his opinion sincerely.
Seeing that Zhao Ming said it was feasible, Hu Lin caught some prey and asked Li Aihua to cook two kilograms of it.
Then she put the fish in a basket and took a bullock cart to the county town to try to sell it. Li Aihua borrowed a bicycle to go to a state-owned restaurant to sell the game.
Old man Yang saw her coming alone on the ox cart, and asked Hu Lin why he didn't see Li Aihua.
Hu Lin said that Li Aihua got on the ox cart when she arrived in the city later.
