After I had put all the ropes on and was ready to hang it up, I noticed water dripping down.
In particular, it is warmer inside the house, and once you enter, the water that has frozen into ice outside will drip directly down.
He simply put a layer of oilcloth on the floor of the house, and waited until all the water had dripped away before walking towards the stove.
He took out a ladder from the space, stood on the ladder, and threaded the meat strips onto the stick one by one.
Maybe it was because the fire in this place was warmer, the bacon, which had originally not dripped much water, began to drip again.
Su Qingxue was not going to continue watching here. In the short time she had just wasted, the steamed buns in the pot had already been steamed.
Put everything in a wooden basin and cover it with a clean towel to prevent it from getting cold when you take it out.
Wash the pot clean, fill it with clean water, add a few more pieces of firewood, and keep it smoking. I think the bacon hanging on it should be smoked faster.
It just so happens that the weather is so cold now, so we have to keep the kang heated every day, and there is no need to worry about the meat hanging on it.
Holding a basin of steamed buns, he went straight to the living room of the main house.
Except for Sun Rui, Zhou Huaian and a few other people, most people have already come here.
Then Su Qingxue saw that the pot of cooked braised pork that she had just seen in Sun Rui's room had already frozen into a lump of ice.
How do you eat this?
"The food is cold. Should we heat it up? The food is not ready yet. Will the steamed buns freeze hard?"
This is not a solution either, the only option is to heat up all the cold dishes.
Anyway, almost every room has its own pot, so we can heat up the food together and eat it right away when the time comes.
Although the dishes cooked by Sun Rui were particularly delicious, this meal still did not meet Su Qingxue's expectations.
I originally thought that since I had taken so many delicious foods, I could have a good meal.
But no matter how good the food is, if it encounters this kind of horrible weather, the food will get cold or even frozen while you are eating, and no matter how good your mood is, it will not be able to withstand it.
In the end, everyone put a little bit of all the dishes in lunch boxes, and shared the steamed buns. Everyone went back home to reheat them before eating.
It was obviously better during the Chinese New Year, it didn’t seem so cold, and at least I managed to finish my meal.
I took a look at the heavy snow falling outside and found that it seemed to have started snowing again today. No wonder it was so cold.
After a well-prepared but hastily finished lunch, Su Qingxue hid in the bed and didn't want to go out again.
Looking at the pile of defective cloth on the edge of the kang, he lay on the kang for ten minutes, then took out his needle and thread and scissors and started cutting the cloth.
Recalling the body sizes of Mr. and Mrs. Su in the cowshed and Grandpa Zhou Huaian, he started to cut with the scissors.
It took almost an entire afternoon to cut all the fabrics. Su Qingxue kept her head down the whole time and felt so tired!
I had dinner early and went into bed to rest. When I was lying on the kang, I felt a cracking sound of bones on my back.
After ringing a few times, it seemed to be much more comfortable.
The next morning,
Zhou Huaian came early with breakfast and asked Su Qingxue what she was going to do today.
Su Qingxue was thinking that she was going to make clothes and not go anywhere, so she told him to just do his own thing and there was no need for him to stay by her side all day long.
Zhou Huaian did have something to do. He and Sun Rui were going to the commune today. After all, they got some dividends from the black market, so they had to go there for business.
He just said that he was going to the commune with Sun Rui today, but he didn’t tell Su Qingxue what it was all about?
Su Qingxue didn't care. As long as she knew that this person's heart was with her, there was no need to follow him too closely.
After breakfast, they waited for Zhou Huaian to leave with his lunch box and then closed the door.
The rest of the time is yours.
I originally wanted to take out the sewing machine from the space to make clothes, but then I remembered that I had made an agreement with the fruit seller yesterday and I couldn’t go back on my word.
I was worried that if I got there later, I might run into Zhou Huaian and Sun Rui on the way, so I waited for almost an hour before setting off.
She spent the past hour thinking about what clothes to wear. In the cowshed, she definitely couldn't wear clothes that were too nice, so she had to make something that was comfortable but not conspicuous.
Now that I have an idea in mind, I plan to experiment with it after I come back.
I came out of the house and walked around the yard. I saw Zhou Huaian and Sun Rui's house. The door was locked, so I knew they had left.
Only then did he prepare to go around the foot of the mountain in the backyard and take another road to the valley where he had agreed to meet the fruit seller.
When Su Qingxue arrived, the boss had already arrived. He directly took out the money and handed it to him, asking him to leave the item there and wait for someone to come and pick it up.
The fruit seller didn't think much about it. Looking at the 100 yuan in his hand, he couldn't hide the smile on his face. With this much money, life at home would be a little better.
The boss even asked Su Qingxue if she wanted to wait until the fruits come out this year.
The fruits usually ripen during the autumn harvest, and it takes a lot of effort to preserve them in such cold weather.
If I can sell it earlier, I will be happy even for a few cents less. At least I don’t have to go through so much effort to preserve the fruit.
Su Qingxue nodded and asked him to wait here on a double-digit day in the month when the fruits were ripe.
After the agreement was made, the boss left.
Su Qingxue looked around and after making sure that there was no one else around, she quickly put the fruits into the space.
Then he quickly ran towards home.
Su Qingxue walked much faster than yesterday. When she came back, she came back from the backyard and was not noticed by others at all.
It was just time for lunch, so Su Qingxue steamed some buns, stewed a meat dish, and finally heated up the braised offal and had her lunch.
I cooked a little more on purpose, hoping that I wouldn't have to cook tomorrow.
After filling my stomach, I started to take out the cloth I had cut and prepare to make clothes.
They already had winter clothes, so Su Qingxue decided to make them summer clothes.
Nowadays, few people wear short sleeves. Everyone is quite conservative. Even summer clothes are long-sleeved, which is just right for wearing in April and August when the weather is neither too cold nor too hot.
Su Qingxue took out the sewing machine, and was worried that the sound of the machine would be heard outside, so she blocked all the gaps in the door on both sides to try to prevent the sound from getting out.
Originally, Su Qingxue herself didn't know how to use a sewing machine. After all, she was born in an age where she no longer needed this thing and could just buy new clothes outside.
I could only rely on my memory, using some scraps of fabric to start sewing straight lines little by little. After I got familiar with it, I started sewing with the cut fabric.
