Chapter 360 They are here to learn about advantages and strengths
Su Mu never thought that he could live like this in winter.
The house is as warm as spring. Living in it makes your whole body relax. You no longer have to be afraid of the cold, or get chapped and frostbitten from being exposed to the cold wind. When the weather gets warmer, it feels like thousands of ants are crawling inside.
I can’t help scratching because it’s itchy, and I can’t stop scratching even when it hurts!
Her life was easy. She had a felt tent to keep out the cold, she didn't have to feed the cattle, sheep, and horses herself, nor did she have to cook her own food. If she got frostbitten, she had frostbite plaster to apply. But compared to what she saw before her, it was completely different.
If she is like this, let alone those people under my father who depend on him for their livelihood.
I thought having a house with floor heating and warm like spring was already great, but I never expected that I could take a shower like this!
It is clean and warm, and you can take a shower at any time by boiling hot water, which is something you can't do in a yurt in winter!
The four of them took a refreshing bath in a state of shock, and felt their bodies relax a lot;
I also washed my hair with hair-nourishing soap made with sesame oil, and I felt that all the greasiness in my hair was gone, my entire scalp felt refreshed, and my hair was fluffy and soft.
Wrap it tightly with layers of thick cotton cloth and dry it in the main house with the floor heating, which is easy and comfortable.
After the whole process, not only the three maids brought by Su Mu were amazed, but even Su Mu himself was amazed.
Aunt Shen Qing is such a good person at living!
Over there, Shen Qing watched the second, third, and fourth brothers unloading mutton fat, wool, beef, mutton, etc. from the carriage, and discussed what to eat in the evening.
The weather was extremely cold, and the slaughtered cattle and sheep had already frozen solid. If they wanted to be chopped up, they had to be brought into the house to thaw first.
"Mom, this beef and mutton are so delicious, especially the beef. You haven't eaten it before, right? I'll take it inside to thaw it and chop it up. We'll have beef and mutton tonight!" Jiang Xiangnan recommended happily.
Then he asked Guan Li, "Second sister-in-law, do you have any charcoal at home? I'll grill some lamb skewers for you to try!"
Roasted mutton can be eaten in large quantities, so it is not as economical as stewed radish and cabbage, but he wants to let them have the delicious food he has eaten!
Guan Li smiled and said, "Yes, I'll light some for you later."
After the kang was built, no one in the village burned charcoal or bought charcoal. Sitting on the kang was warmer and more comfortable than sitting around the brazier on weekdays. However, after cooking, the extra charcoal would be put into a coarse pottery basin, covered with a lid, and turned into charcoal.
This type of charcoal burns better and is useful when you need to keep stews heated.
Shen Qing arranged, "Let Xiaoshui do it. You pick out some mutton and beef and send them to your father so that he and Xiaoshan can have a taste. And borrow your father's wood planer."
Guan Li asked, "Why would I need to bring so much meat just to borrow a planer?"
The two brothers-in-law brought back a lot of beef and mutton, but there are many people in the family. Besides, they brought them back from far away, so it would be inappropriate to take two pieces to her parents' home at once.
"I'm not lending the plane to them, I'm giving it to them to try. Hey, kid, how can you be reluctant to give it to your parents?" Shen Qing laughed.
If Carpenter Guan knew about this, he would be very disappointed.
Guan Li smiled and said, "I always take the mutton home before. There's no need to try it. I'll take a piece of beef back."
If I take too much, my dad and brother will scold me, and this piece of beef will probably be talked about for a long time!
But my father and my brother have never eaten beef, so let them be criticized. Thanks to my uncles, my father and his brothers now know what beef tastes like.
Jiang Xiangnan asked curiously, "Mom, what do you want to do with the plane?"
Mom doesn't know how to do carpentry work. No, whenever there is carpentry work that needs to be done at home, my second sister-in-law, father and younger brother will rush to help and they don't have to do it themselves.
It’s all thanks to my second sister-in-law!
Thinking of this, he looked at his second sister-in-law who was holding beef and quickly instructed: "Second sister-in-law, take the beef leg! The meat on the beef leg is very chewy!"
After saying that, he stuffed it into Guan Li's hand without saying anything.
Guan Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This was the hind leg! Each leg weighed at least dozens of kilograms!
At home, I am willing to let go of both the old and the young.
"There's more than enough for Dad and my brother to eat."
"If you can't finish it, eat it slowly. Isn't it thawed yet?" Jiang Xiangnan asked puzzledly.
Guan Li: ...
After Guan Li came back with a large planer, Shen Qing instructed Jiang Xiangxi to plan the beef and mutton.
The family was stunned.
What is this for? I've never heard of or seen anything like this before.
Shen Qing explained: "We'll have hot pot tonight. The beef and mutton will be thinly sliced and cooked until they are tasty."
Without waiting for everyone's reaction, he directly assigned the tasks: "Second brother, you are responsible for digging. There are many of us, so each of us should dig at least ten plates;
Third brother, you are responsible for grilling beef and mutton skewers and letting the family taste them;
Ali, go stew the lamb bones and use them to make hot pot soup base later.
Fourth brother, go prepare the vegetables. Take the cabbage hearts, spinach, radish, whatever you have, soak some dried bean curd sheets, dried mushrooms, and a plate of frozen tofu.
Xiaoshui, prepare the dipping sauce: vinegar, shallots, cilantro, minced garlic, chili sauce, sesame paste, sesame oil... Put everything in a bowl, and I'll teach you how to mix it when we're ready to eat."
"Okay!" Everyone did as they were told without any hesitation.
Su Mu, who was watching from under the eaves, changed back into men's clothes and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Anur, the maidservant beside her, asked, "Master, what are they doing?"
Another maid, Gerile, said, "Will it be the same as when we cook mutton, only it will be more flavorful if it is shaved?"
They are delicious boiled too.
"What are those dipping sauces for? But we also make dipping sauce with chive flowers, and there is nothing more delicious than this!" said Anur.
Ah Su shook her head and said, "Look at this room and the bathing area. I don't think they would eat it without us. The reason they don't use chives may be because they don't have any here or they don't have time to make them.
But her dipping sauce should be delicious too, not necessarily worse than our chive sauce."
Su Mu glanced at Asu and agreed, "Indeed, since we have come to someone else's place, we should learn from them and learn their strengths instead of picking out their shortcomings and disliking them.
There are so many different kinds of food to try. I think they have a lot of strengths and there's a lot we can learn from them. I have a feeling we made the right trip."
Thinking of the warm house and feeling refreshed from head to toe, the other two nodded vigorously.
"Master, let me help roast the lamb and beef!"
They may not know how to do anything else, but they are very skilled at roasting beef and mutton.
"Okay." Su Mu had no objection and instructed: "First, go outside and get some branches to string them together."
"become!"
Hearing that Su Mu and the other three wanted to help grill skewers, Shen Qing did not stop them. Jiang Xiangnan jumped for joy and shouted that he wanted to accompany them to chop branches.
The five men were walking out with axes when they heard screams!
The voices were getting louder and louder, and they kept begging: "Ouch, I ran to the wrong place, let me go."
"Stop hitting me! My legs will break again if you hit me again!"
