Chapter 296: Sitting in a circle and eating hot pot
After a while, Feng Hanyue took out an iron pot from the space and put it on the stove. There was a spicy pot on one side and a tomato pot on the other side. The soup was slowly boiled. Following the aroma, Jun Zimo and Jin Jin from Xiaoqingxuan ran into the room.
Feng Qingxuan, "It smells so good, mother."
Jun Zimo, "What delicious food is this, mother."
Feng Hanyue said with a smile,
"This is hot pot. It's delicious."
After that, he brought the prepared ingredients to the table one by one.
Just at this time, Jun Linghan came back, looked at the vegetables and meat on the table, and asked with a smile,
"This is?"
"On a snowy day, our family will eat soup pot together."
Jun Linghan smiled,
"Indeed, this weather is perfect for eating this."
After saying that, he took off his coat, sat next to Feng Hanyue, and helped her serve the dishes.
Xiao Qingxuan's eyes sparkled as he pointed at the beef rolls curiously and asked,
"Mother, what is this?"
Feng Hanyue explained patiently,
"This is beef roll. Just put it in the pot and you can eat it."
Jun Zimo couldn't wait to pick up a piece of beef roll and put it into the pot. He shook it gently as Feng Hanyue had taught him before. After a while, the meat roll changed color and was cooked. He quickly picked it up and put it in his mouth. His face was immediately filled with surprise.
"Mom, it's delicious."
Xiao Qingxuan was not to be outdone and started to join in. Although the little guy's movements were a little clumsy, the satisfied expression on his face after eating the food was real.
Jin Jin was wagging his tail happily. Seeing this, Feng Hanyue smiled and put a big cooked bone on his exclusive plate. He ate it with relish.
The family sat together, laughing and talking happily. Although the snow was falling outside the window, the house was full of warmth. The aroma of delicious food filled the air, as if it had driven away the cold.
Feng Hanyue even went to the space to squeeze some grape juice for the two little ones. The two little ones happily hugged her and said that they loved their mother the most! Their mother was the best!
"Where's Daddy? You two naughty brats!"
"Daddy is the best!"
"Daddy is the best!"
…………
The childish voice made Jun Linghan laugh out loud, and he was very happy.
A breeze blew, and the eldest brother Feng Hansong came home with his wife and children.
Seeing the hot pot, he smiled and said,
"No wonder there's a faint fragrance in the air. It turns out the source is right here."
Feng Hanyue looked at the teasing look of her elder brother and quickly asked them to sit down.
"Brother and sister-in-law, please sit down quickly. Yuchen, you can drink juice with those two naughty kids."
After saying that, he poured a glass of grape juice for Feng Yuchen. After taking a sip of the sweet grape juice, Feng Yuchen's eyes suddenly lit up. It tasted so good!
Jun Linghan poured tea for the two of them, and soon each of them had a small plate in front of them, and a group of people gathered around the stove to eat hot pot.
The four of them were having a pleasant conversation when suddenly a series of footsteps came closer and soon arrived in their yard.
"Master, Madam, Master Feng, Madam Feng Da, Master Feng Er just said that Madam Feng Er's eldest brother was beaten and had a bloody head and a broken leg. He doesn't seem to be doing well. Master Feng Er was anxious to go and see him first, so he asked me to come over and help take care of Madam Feng Er."
As soon as Suifeng finished speaking, Zhao Qihua's sobbing was heard outside.
"Brother, sister-in-law, little sister, please help me, my brother seems to be dying... wuwuwu..."
A cold wind blew away the lively atmosphere in the house.
Feng Hansong patted his sister-in-law Xu Ximeng on the back.
"You and my younger sister stay home and take care of my second brother and his wife. Yanzhi and I will go to Dawan Village to see what's going on. Logically speaking, since we just arrived, there shouldn't be any major conflicts."
Xu Ximeng and Feng Hanyue stood up and welcomed Zhao Qihua into the house. They first let her sit by the stove to warm up and poured her a cup of hot tea.
"Don't worry, my husband and the others are here, nothing will happen."
As the eldest sister-in-law, Xu Ximeng was the first to stand up to comfort Zhao Qihua. After all, she was still pregnant and her mood could not fluctuate too much. It was not good to be extremely sad or happy.
"Yes, sister-in-law, my elder brother and husband have all gone to the village. They will be fine."
Looking at Zhao Qihua crying like a tearful person, the two could only speak kindly to her, telling her to relax and that nothing would happen...
"Second sister-in-law, Doctor Xue has already gone over, it's okay."
Feng Hanyue comforted Zhao Qihua softly. She didn't expect that something bad would happen to the Zhao family just two days after their marriage.
Zhao Yongsheng, the eldest son of the Zhao family, is quite skilled in martial arts, not to mention his father, Zhao. No one knows what happened to him.
Although Feng Hanyue and Xu Ximeng were comforting Zhao Qihua, their eyes were still filled with worry.
The waiting time always seems so long. Looking at the delicious hot pot in front of her, Feng Hanyue lost her appetite and sipped the grape juice gently.
Several little ones looked at Zhao Qihua. This new "family member" was shedding little pearls non-stop and eating snacks obediently beside them, no longer running around.
…………
Soon Suifeng ran back to report the news.
"what happened?"
Feng Hanyue asked with a frown.
"Madam, Young Master Zhao went hunting in the mountains and ran into an abandoned trap dug by an old hunter. He broke his leg. He needs to recuperate for a while, but his life is not in danger."
Zhao Qihua's tears fell again when she heard this, and she sobbed and said,
"Brother must have gone hunting because there was no meat at home. He's the most filial son. It's all my fault. I only care about myself..."
Listening to Zhao Qihua's words, Xu Ximeng frowned unconsciously.
"Qihua, I'm glad you're okay. Take good care of yourself and take good care of the family..."
Feng Hanyue looked at the two sisters-in-law in front of her and said nothing.
Now she and her brothers have all married and have their own families. She originally wanted to give two of the "treasures" she got from signing in to them for self-defense, but it seems she has to wait.
She put on a smile again and handed a pair of chopsticks to Xu Ximeng and Zhao Qihua.
"Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, Brother Zhao is safe and sound. Let's continue eating. Don't starve yourself, especially second sister-in-law. You are pregnant and need to relax."
Xu Ximeng patted the back of Zhao Qihua's hand and picked up a fish ball for her.
"My second sister-in-law was worried sick just now. She probably hasn't eaten yet. Come and eat."
Looking at the slices of meat and green vegetables in the pot, as well as the fruits and cakes on the table next to her, Zhao Qihua opened her mouth but then closed her eyes with a somewhat painful expression.
"Sister-in-law, I understand."
Before getting married, her parents repeatedly warned her not to ask the Feng family for help unless it was absolutely necessary. She and Feng Hanbai had just gotten married, and their relationship was not that stable, let alone close, so it was enough for them to just interact normally with each other as family members.
However, the Feng family clearly has the ability to provide the Zhao family with a better life.
She was drinking tea and eating meat. Her brother broke his leg so that the family could have meat to eat. She felt extremely bitter and had no appetite.
I heard that the city wall is going to be repaired in winter, and they are the first to bear the brunt of it...
In the warm room, she thought a lot.
I thought of the night of her wedding, the abundance of coal in the yard when I woke up in the morning, the grain, eggs, and bacon I saw in the kitchen...
In fact, Feng Hanyue has been thinking about what to do this winter these past two days. Although she has enough supplies, she can't just stay here and languish.
Let’s start with the basics of eating.
In years of famine, it is great to have food, meat and vegetables.
As for food, she has high-yield sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc., which can be planted on a large scale next year.
When hibernating, you can grow some vegetables in the room, such as hydroponic vegetables. If you want meat, you can raise rabbits. Rabbits reproduce quickly, can supplement protein, and are also excellent meat.
She immediately found an empty room at home.
After she carefully cleaned the room with Chunxiang, Dongmei and her two sisters-in-law, she began to plan the layout.
First, I found a few large wooden basins and divided them into several small grids to hold water for growing vegetables. I also used wooden boards to enclose an area in the corner to raise rabbits.
Then, she took out her treasured sweet potato and potato seeds and carefully put them aside for seedling cultivation.
At this time, her maid Chunxiang asked curiously,
"Madam, what are you doing?"
The other three also looked at her curiously, waiting for her answer.
Feng Hanyue explained with a smile,
"We have to plan for the future. We can't just sit back and eat all the food during the winter. With these foods, we'll have a constant supply of vegetables and meat. Not only will we be able to survive the winter safely, but we might even be able to help others."
Afterwards, Feng Hanyue began to make a simple hydroponic device, and several others followed to help.
After a while of hard work, the preliminary installation was finally completed.
Feng Hanyue wiped the sweat from her forehead, looked at her results, put the vegetable seeds in, her heart full of anticipation.
As for the rabbit, she planned to take it out directly from the space after the others left.
As long as they are carefully raised, they will reproduce quickly.
When they heard this, their eyes lit up instantly. Thinking about the endless rabbit meat and fresh vegetables in the future, their faces were filled with happy smiles.
Especially Zhao Qihua, her eyes were shining. It would be great if she could really succeed!
At least I can give some of the rabbits I raise or the vegetables I grow back home...
The way she looked at Feng Hanyue now was like a hungry wolf staring at its prey.
It was absolutely right for her to marry into the Feng family!
Dad has such good taste!
I touched the baby in my belly, it felt so good!
After they finished their work, Feng Hansongjun Linghan also came back.
Seeing Feng Hanbai, Zhao Qihua was particularly excited.
"My husband is back."
Feng Hanbai nodded, stepped forward and took the person in his arms.
"I'm back. My father-in-law and uncle are fine. Don't worry. My father-in-law specifically told you to take good care of your pregnancy and not to worry about home."
Zhao Qihua's baby is less than three months old now, and the fetus is not yet firmly seated. Feng Hanbai is still quite worried after the bumpy journey here.
Seeing Doctor Xue coming back later, she specially asked him to check Ping An Pulse and prescribe medicine to maintain the pregnancy, showing that she attached great importance to this child.
"Brother, second brother, husband, please come into the house quickly and have some hot tea to warm yourself up."
Feng Hanyue looked at the few people and hurriedly invited them into the house.
It's still snowing outside and very cold.
The group entered the house and saw several children playing with building blocks obediently beside them, and the smiles on their faces became even brighter.
The snow kept falling, and Feng Hanyue in the house also told them that she wanted to plant and raise crops in the house. Since everyone had some spare rooms in their homes, they were all willing to give it a try.
Especially Feng Hansong, he knew that he would succeed.
Jun Linghan listened to Feng Hanyue's words and nodded continuously. He also wanted to see whether the experiment could be successful. If it was successful, the soldiers in the canyon would not have to worry about food this winter.
Due to the short time, the food they purchased was insufficient.
Although the soldiers were divided into several teams to go into the mountains to hunt, the harvest was far less than expected, especially in years of famine. The animals were starving, and those with strong survival abilities had already hidden in the mountains and would not come out.
In addition, some of the rock salt that was delivered was used to exchange for some supplies with major trading companies, but with the arrival of soldiers and their families, the consumption of supplies was still huge.
Especially now they still have to work hard, train, etc.
He was actively trying to find a solution, and now the solution has arrived!
His eyes became brighter and brighter as he looked at his wife. This "fairy" and "monster" was a good one!
It seemed that the beautiful vision of the future infected everyone, and the family sat together happily eating hot pot.
For a moment, the whole house was filled with laughter, and people passing by also laughed silently after hearing the laughter inside.
This new family is really happy.
The joy at this moment is really enviable.
The visitor's mother falls ill every winter. She heard that Xue Yiming is an excellent doctor, so she came to ask for help.
At this moment, Xue Yiming is eating hot pot with his medicine boy, it is so delicious!
Feng Hanyue was very kind to their group, especially when it came to food. Considering that it was snowing heavily today, everyone ate hot pot to warm themselves up. The group gathered together and ate with their mouths full of oil.
Hearing that there was a patient, Xue Yiming reluctantly got up and took Xiao Yuer to the villager's house.
It’s no wonder that since arriving at the exile place, Xue Yiming has become the most popular person because of his good medical skills and good reputation.
Xie Wenxun arrived just before Xue Yiming left. When he saw the crowd and smelled the delicious hot pot, he immediately sat down without hesitation.
"I say, Lao Xue, Sui Feng, and Anying, you guys are amazing. You eat alone every day, and I didn't expect you'd still be like this after coming here. You didn't even bother to call me. Luckily you came here today!"
Although Xie Wenxun is Jun Linghan's most trusted general, he lives a little far away from them because he arrived early. It is snowing today, so he planned to come and see everyone to see if anyone needs help. This is what he saw.
That's really too mean!
This group of people!
Sometimes it’s really enviable!
I heard that the general and his wife also rewarded them with hundred-year-old ginseng, which is really enviable.
He secretly cheated Suifeng, which made him so angry that he would ask for it back from me every time he saw me!
Today he ran into them again eating hotpot.
It just so happens that he didn’t have any meal, hehe…
He was not polite to anyone and just sat down and started eating...
"Xie General, what brings you here?"
Xie Wenxun swallowed a mouthful of beef. Ouch! It was so delicious, it made my tongue almost fall off!
"What do you mean by thanking you, General? There's no general here. Just call me by my name..."
Everyone:...
