Chapter 196 Warm Winter Hot Pot
Author: Zhong Lin
"Almost a month ahead of schedule."
Gu Jingcheng narrowed his eyes: "But don't worry too much, aren't you already fully prepared?"
"The owner of the tailor shop said that he can deliver the remaining winter clothes at once today, plus the food we bought a few days ago..."
Su Xiaomu calculated in her mind that she had indeed prepared everything she should have prepared. If she wanted to worry again, it would only add trouble to herself.
After thinking of this, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Then forget it. It's snowing and we can't go out. Let's take advantage of today to have a good rest. There happens to be mutton in the kitchen. Let's eat something good together."
Su Xiaomu and Gu Jingcheng looked at each other and smiled. She stretched herself comfortably and went to cook when she was full. In this life, the happiest thing is to go to bed after eating and eat when you wake up.
"Taohong, go call Shilan Shizhu and tell them that Zhumeng Xiaozhu has a day off today. It's snowing heavily anyway, so there won't be many guests coming."
Su Xiaomu remembered that the mutton and other food in the kitchen were enough for many people to have a delicious meal together.
"Yes, I will thank you on behalf of my two sisters!"
As soon as Taohong heard that she could eat the delicacies made by Su Xiaomu, her mouth could not help but salivate.
The last time I had delicious food cooked by their wife was a long time ago.
Gu Jingcheng never expected that a heavy snowfall would arouse Su Xiaomu's desire to cook.
The small room was full of people. Su Xiaomu asked Taohong to open the window. Although the howling wind was a bit cold, there was a charcoal fire burning in the room and everyone was close together, so it was not that cold.
Taohong washed the fruits that Zhumeng Xiaozhu had delivered a few days ago and brought them to the house. She also placed a lot of nuts. Everyone was eating and chatting, which was a great time.
The fresh mutton was soaked in cold water for about a quarter of an hour. After Su Xiaomu saw that all the blood had been soaked out, he made sure that the fishy smell was not that strong, so he washed the mutton with clean water and blanch it in cold water.
There was no cooking wine, so she added some spices to get rid of the fishy smell.
After blanching, remove all the foam on the surface of the mutton. When the time is almost done, take it out and wash it with clean water. Drain the water on the surface of the mutton and set it aside.
Because it had already snowed and the weather was getting cooler, Su Xiaomu put a lot of medicinal materials into the pot, planning to stew them with the mutton later to warm everyone up.
Wolfberry is essential.
Put the cut mutton into the pot, add an appropriate amount of water to cover all the ingredients, cover the pot, and Su Xiaomu put more firewood into the stove mouth. With the strong firepower, the mutton will be stewed more easily and the flavor will be stewed.
After almost half an hour, Su Xiaomu took out the firewood that was burning happily. Now it only needed to simmer on low heat for a quarter of an hour before the mutton was ready.
When he opened the lid of the pot, a rich aroma of mutton soup hit his nostrils. Su Xiaomu didn't add any seasonings, just sprinkled some salt, and it was ready to be served beautifully.
"If there were any beef balls...hot pot balls or something like that at this time, I would be so beautiful!"
Time has limited Su Xiaomu's development. If this stewed mutton soup can be used to make a side stove, Su Xiaomu's happiness will be even greater.
"Zhao Mu Zhao Mu! Can you help me carry this soup outside?"
Su Xiaomu scooped out all the mutton soup, but the pot was a bit heavy and the soup was a bit hot. She was afraid of accidentally scalding herself to death.
Zhao Mu has been squatting at the door of the kitchen for a long time. The smell of mutton soup has been in his nose for a long time, and he has been so greedy that his mouth is watering.
The hot mutton soup was served to the table, and everyone started picking up the mutton with their chopsticks like a hungry tiger pouncing on its food.
Seeing them like this, Su Xiaomu couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
She originally wanted to eat mutton and drink soup, but after soaking in the kitchen for so long, she suddenly felt full and had no appetite.
Su Xiaomu held the wine glass, sipping it in small sips, and then gently shook the white porcelain cup. She felt very happy watching Gu Jingcheng drinking the soup.
Thinking of how many different tonic soups he had drank recently under his own torture, he didn't know if his tongue could still taste them.
Su Xiaomu was thinking wildly while looking at the snowy scene outside the window in a daze. After Gu Jingcheng noticed something strange about her, he put down the soup bowl in his hand and reached out to rub her head: "Didn't you always say you wanted to see snow before? Now since
If you get an opportunity, just treat it as a joyful thing. It is said that if you make a wish on the day when the first snow comes, the gods in the sky will hear your wish and help you realize it."
"Then I have to make a wish."
Su Xiaomu suddenly no longer felt sad, and a very bright smile broke out on her face.
Su Xiaomu felt that her appetite had whetted her appetite again. She ate meat, drank soup, and drank wine. She suddenly felt that her whole body was warming up.
But, for some reason, Su Xiaomu felt her head was a little dizzy. She looked at Gu Jingcheng's face and suddenly felt that there were several of him in front of her.
"Gu Jingcheng...why do I feel like you have turned into several yous?"
Su Xiaomu stretched out her index finger in front of her eyes and opened her eyes in surprise: "I saw that right! There are really many, many more like you in front of me."
"you're drunk."
Gu Jingcheng knew that she must be drunk at this moment. Everyone just finished eating the hot pot. Taohong led Zhao Mu to clear the table. He slid the wheelchair in front of Su Xiaomu and reached out to poke her pink cheek.
It felt smooth and soft, and he couldn't put it down after just touching it.
"Xiaomu."
Gu Jingcheng called her softly: "Do you want to go to bed?"
He and Su Xiaomu rubbed their ears and temples together, so it was very ambiguous.
His kisses fell lightly on her ears, cheeks, and neck.
The two of them were so close that Gu Jingcheng could smell the scent of her body very clearly.
Different from the rosy smell of ordinary women, Su Xiaomu's smell is refreshing and pleasant.
"Well."
Su Xiaomu felt that someone was always sticking to her. She twisted her body uncomfortably, feeling hot and dizzy all over. Her head became more and more swollen, and she fainted soon after.
Su Xiaomu's body leaned directly against Gu Jingcheng. He was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but smiled again, and boldly kissed her lips.
Gu Jingcheng looked around as before, and after making sure there was no one else, he stood up from the wheelchair and carried Su Xiaomu to the bed.
He also covered her with the quilt very thoughtfully.
But before I could turn around, I heard the sound of something heavy falling to the ground, a snap, like the sound of broken porcelain.
"Gu... Mr. Gu... your legs?"
Taohong opened her big eyes, looked at Gu Jingcheng standing up and said in disbelief: "Is your leg healed already?"
