The wind outside the house was a bit loud, making a whirring sound.
"Are you awake?" Li Xuemei asked her, "Are you hungry?"
Yan Yu nodded, he was woken up by hunger and his stomach was empty.
"Let's go to the kitchen." Li Xuemei handed her the clean cotton coat and put it on herself.
rack of lamb!
Yan Yu was so happy that she almost died!
Li Xuemei called Daya and Qing'er to have a luxurious supper on this snowy night.
In addition to grilled lamb chops, Grandma Rong also made some lamb skewers.
The meat is picked from around the lamb ribs. It is moderately fat and tender. It will change color after being licked by the tongue of fire for a few times. Only salt and cumin are added, and it is already very fragrant. Sprinkle some chili powder.
Forget about the smell!
Yan Yu made a grunt of satisfaction while eating, and her little mouth was full of oil.
Da Ya wasn't hungry at first, but she couldn't help but smell the smell. After eating one mutton chop and two skewers, she couldn't eat anymore, so she took care of Qing'er and helped her take the mutton off the skewers to avoid accidentally eating it.
Pricked in the mouth.
Li Xuemei has been accustomed to eating extra meals recently. She is particularly hungry now. Three meals a day cannot satisfy her, and she has to eat four or five times a day.
She is very measured and will control herself to eat less and do moderate exercise every day, but she does not dare to raise the child too big to give birth.
There is no reassuring obstetrics department, so I can only pay attention to everything on my own.
After eating a mutton chop and a mutton skewer, I put them down and watched my daughter eat them. She was also happy.
Yan Yu works really hard, but she really can't do so much by herself.
Looking at the remaining mutton chops and meat skewers, Yan Yu was overwhelmed with energy.
It's a pity for some substitute fathers, uncles and eldest brothers that they missed such delicious food.
Grandma Rong poured half a bowl of hawthorn syrup for everyone.
Yan Yu drank it all, raised the bowl towards her, and said softly: "Aunt Rong, I want more."
Aunt Rong poured it for her again with a smile.
Yan Yu drank it up happily, feeling that the spicy taste in his mouth was gone. The sweet water flowing through his stomach had some space, and he watched the mutton skewers ready to move.
"Keep the leftovers for tomorrow." Li Xuemei knew her daughter best, and it looked like she was not full, but greedy.
Yan Yu took another sip of hawthorn syrup and hummed.
After finishing the supper, except for Grandma Rong, who went to rest on her own, there were four people left, the elder and the younger were not sleepy.
They all gathered in one room.
Li Xuemei walked slowly on the ground to eat.
Yan Yu taught Daya and Qing'er basic stretching on the kang.
The movements were very smooth, Da Ya was very shy, and Qing'er's face was red, and she twisted her little arms and legs in embarrassment, feeling embarrassed to perform the movements in place.
Yan Yu knew her own strength, but she didn't dare to help. She could only keep correcting herself: "Sister, when you stretch your hand back, you should also look back. If you go further back, do you feel sore? Then...
That's right, hold on, don't move, okay, take it back, how do you feel? Are you feeling particularly relaxed after being sore?"
"Qing'er stretch out your hands, don't make fists. Look, doesn't it reach your feet..."
The kang was so hot, and being commanded by Yan Yu again, Daya and Qing'er broke out in a sweat.
When Li Xuemei saw that it was almost done, she called out: "Okay, let your eldest sister and Qing'er go back to sleep."
Da Ya hurriedly went down to the ground and hugged Qing'er: "Aunt, let's go back then."
"Go." Li Xuemei smiled.
Da Ya quickly put on Qing'er's clothes, wrapped herself up, pulled on her shoes and left the house.
Yan Yu is very optimistic: "When they do it regularly in the future, they will know the benefits of stretching."
"By the way, I see that in addition to buying food this time, you also brought back a leather coat?" Li Xuemei asked.
"Well, I bought it in Fengming. It's snowing so much that I can stand on my feet. I saw that they all wear this kind of woolen sweater. Although it smells quite strong, it's really warm and blocks the wind. So I bought a few.
It's a pity that they are all worn by adults, not as young as me." Yan Yu said.
Li Xuemei had to say: "It's really delicious. Qi Si and the others don't know if you want to sell it or what you're doing with it. They've all given it to you. If you don't wake up, it's hard for Grandma Rong to take care of it. They're all in our yard."
It’s piled up.”
"Why are they still piled up in the yard?"
"Aunt Rong said she was not allowed to bring it into the house because it was not clean." Li Xuemei felt her whole body getting hot from walking. She stopped and slowly sat on the kang: "She said she had to wash it several times before bringing it in."
Grandma Rong said not once, but several times!
"Can it really be washed clean?" Yan Yu became happy: "Of course it would be great if it could be washed out. I would give my father, uncle, eldest brother, and master...Mom, I think Huju will look like a phoenix in a while.
It's so cold, this time I went there, and I really saw how thick cotton clothes can be penetrated, and the people over there are all wearing leather clothes, and they look like bears, but they can't keep them warm!"
Li Xuemei said: "I think the snow here is about to stop. Don't run outside. Little girl, you can't fix it if you freeze. You will suffer in the future."
"I know, mother, if you go out instead of going upstream, it's better to go downriver to the sea. There is more food. Longxing and Fengming are both tight. There are more wastelands than our Huju, and there are fewer people outside.
The number of wandering people can be counted on two hands.
If I only bought food, I would have lost money this time. Hehe, mother, guess what else I bought besides woolen sweaters?"
"What?" Li Xuemei first put one leg on the kang, and then lifted the other one.
"Ginseng, hahahaha!" Yan Yu smiled proudly: "I collected forty taels of ginseng from Fengming. I can make ten taels by flipping it. It seems that those ginseng pickers have been cheated a lot. Your daughter is not happy.
Hei, I didn’t bargain much. Alas, I ran out of money and only bought six bottles.”
"Let me show you." Yan Yu said and got off the ground.
"Where did you put it?" Li Xuemei asked curiously. She didn't notice any special baggage.
Yan Yu: "It's too hot in the room, so I put it in the cellar."
"Look at it at dawn, don't worry about it at night." Li Xuemei thought of something and asked again: "The size of ginseng varies from year to year, but you always buy it for 40 taels?"
"Hehe, they are all whole ginseng that costs more than seven taels. I am a professional ginseng harvester, and it looks better than what our cat can find in the mountains.
My father and I sold it in Changping, and the minimum guarantee for such ginseng is fifty taels, and if we find a good buyer, we can sell it for even more."
Yan Yu gets excited when talking about ginseng:
"The quality of each one is better than the last, that is, if they meet a real buyer like me, otherwise they would not sell so many at once.
These were not the best, and they asked me if I wanted to look at them. I thought that no matter how good they were, I couldn’t afford them, so I decided not to look at them. Haha, they were packaged so carefully. It was quite troublesome to open and repack them every time.
"
"Did you let Maomao read it?" Li Xuemei was worried that she would be deceived.
"I've seen it. If I haven't seen it, how can I buy it with confidence? It's more than two hundred taels!" Yan Yu said with a smile.
The cat whose name was called opened his eyes, squinted for a while, then closed them again, squatting at the end of the kang and curling up into a ball.
