Chapter 36
When Qi Yuan and the others finished eating the dumplings, it was getting late.But it was snowing outside and they had nothing to do, so the two slowly made dumplings.
The wrapped dumplings were directly placed in the snow by Qi Yuan, facing Qi Yuan's behavior, Tao Hua was very puzzled.
"A Yuan, why did you put the dumplings in the snow?"
"Oh! Of course it's here to save it! In this way, when we want to eat it, we can just boil it and eat it, no need to wrap it again. You don't think that making so many dumplings is going to be eaten in one day, right? "
Facing Qi Yuan's suspicious eyes, Tao Hua really didn't know whether he should nod or not.
"It's okay to say that it's snowing, why don't we light a fire to warm up!"
"Warming up? A Yuan, are you cold?"
"It's not cold! It's just that I have to warm up when it snows, and besides, it's so comfortable to warm up!"
Tao Hua couldn't help but agree with Qi Yuan's natural look.
Since Qi Yuan has no carbon, he can only burn firewood.There would be a lot of smoke from burning firewood, so Qi Yuan started to burn directly under the eaves, and soon a pot of firewood was burned.
Qi Yuan and Tao Hua each sat on a small bench and warmed themselves by the fire, and then chatted casually.
While chatting with Qi Yuan, he felt that something was missing. When he saw the kitchen, he suddenly remembered the chestnuts he had put away before.
"Wait for me, remember to watch the fire so that it doesn't go out." Qi Yuan stood up and patted Tao Hua's shoulder after speaking, and then quickly went to the kitchen.
After rummaging through the box, Qi Yuan finally found the chestnut he had put away. When he was about to turn around and go back, he immediately went back as if thinking of something, and then returned to the brazier.
"You're lucky! I'll give you something delicious later." After Qi Yuan finished speaking, he mysteriously put two things under the carbon ash.
"By the way, these are the chestnuts I collected before, but the chestnuts fried in sugar are the most delicious, but there is no tool to fry them now, so we can just put them in the charcoal fire and burn them."
Tao Hua didn't say anything, just passed the chestnuts for Qi Yuan, and Qi Yuan buried each chestnut with the raked ones. After putting in a lot of chestnuts, Qi Yuan didn't put any more chestnuts in it. , Instead, put some burning charcoal on top of the chestnuts.
While waiting for the chestnuts to mature, Qi Yuan began to recall how to make charcoal.
He remembers watching charcoal being made when he was a child, when lots of wood would be piled together and then set ablaze.After the wood is burned, the chaff is piled up until all the wood is buried, but the fire inside cannot be completely extinguished.
In the process of burning charcoal, someone still needs to check it from time to time, and it can be opened after a day or two until the whole chaff pile is no longer smoking.
This is what he saw when he was very young, and he doesn't remember many details of it.Besides, he has no chaff here, even if he really wants to try, there is no way, right?
And burning charcoal is very polluting to the environment. Although this Montenegro is big, he still doesn't want to receive any pollution.
"Ah Hua, how about we buy carbon next winter? Then we can warm up in the house, and it will be warmer than now."
"Okay, everything depends on A Yuan."
After hearing this, Qi Yuan immediately showed a happy smile. How many years has it been since no one spoiled him so much?Qi Yuan himself doesn't remember, at this moment he really feels that being pampered by others is really a very happy thing!
Just when Qi Yuan was thinking about his little thoughts, there was a sudden crackling sound from the place where the chestnut was buried.
Hearing this voice, Qi Yuan immediately showed a smile, and quickly pulled the chestnut out of the ashes.
At this time Chestnut has opened his mouth slightly, Qi Yuan ignored the dust and hot hands on it, just picked up one, and then kept throwing it back and forth with his left and right hands.
When the chestnut in his hand was not so hot, Qi Yuan immediately peeled off the whole chestnut, and then a burst of chestnut fragrance permeated the air.
Qi Yuan endured the heat on his hands, and carefully peeled off the whole chestnut.Qi Yuan didn't eat it by himself, but handed it to Tao Hua.
"Try it quickly."
Tao Hua didn't expect Qi Yuan to hand this chestnut to him, so he was stunned for a while, then took the chestnut with a smile and put it in his mouth.
"It's delicious. As expected, I, A Yuan, made it." After Tao Hua finished speaking, he also picked up a chestnut and peeled it.
Because the chestnuts are just out of the pot, they are very easy to peel, and soon a chestnut is peeled out.Tao Hua didn't even eat the peeled chestnuts, and directly fed them to Qi Yuan's mouth.
Qi Yuan didn't hesitate, and directly ate the chestnut in Tao Hua's hand.
Qi Yuan ate the chestnut in his mouth, feeling the sweetness and softness of the chestnut, he couldn't help squinting his eyes.
"It's really delicious, but it's a pity that you can't eat too much of this thing, or you'll be stagnant." Although Qi Yuan said this, the speed in his hands didn't stop, and he was still peeling chestnuts.
It wasn't until half of the cooked chestnuts were eaten that Qi Yuan put in a few more handfuls of chestnuts and continued to burn.
The two of them just sat here looking at the snow scene and eating chestnuts, saying how comfortable their life was.
After eating the chestnuts that were burned for the second time, Qi Yuan did not continue to burn the chestnuts, but turned out the things that were put in before and poked them.
At this time, Tao Hua also saw what Qi Yuan put in before, it turned out to be two sweet potatoes.
Qi Yuan poked the sweet potato and found that it was not ripe, so he could only put it back in disappointment.
Because they peeled chestnuts and ate them, both of them had ashes on their hands, Qi Yuan didn't care about the ashes on their hands, but Tao Hua noticed it.
So Tao Hua condensed a large water polo directly in the air, and the water polo was controlled by Tao Hua to stay in the air without moving.However, he didn't wash his hands himself, instead he took Qi Yuan's hand and put it into the water polo to help Qi Yuan wash his hands.
Qi Yuan didn't expect Tao Hua to do this, so he blushed immediately, feeling very embarrassed.
Feeling embarrassed, Qi Yuan directly withdrew his hand and said, "I'm not a child anymore, I just wash it myself."
After Qi Yuan finished speaking, he put his hands into the water polo and scrubbed them back and forth without hesitation. Tao Hua was not disappointed either, he just watched Qi Yuan wash his hands with a smile, and told Qi Yuan from time to time what was not cleaned.
Originally, I was still embarrassed to pray, but when I heard Tao Hua's words, I immediately became a little annoyed.He stopped washing slowly like this, and directly rubbed his hands vigorously, and soon Qi Yuan's hands were flushed red from rubbing himself.
Originally, Tao Hua was just teasing Qi Yuan, but he didn't expect Qi Yuan to rub his hands until they turned red, so he directly reached out and grabbed Qi Yuan's hands and said, "Okay, it's already very clean."
When Qi Yuan heard Tao Hua's words, he glanced sideways at him, then pulled back his hand pretending to be angry, and continued to roast it.
Because Qi Yuan was angry, Tao Hua wanted to open his mouth to apologize for his behavior just now, but Qi Yuan didn't even look at him, and he suddenly didn't know how to say it.
Just when Tao Hua was thinking about how to apologize, Qi Yuan turned the sweet potato out again to have a look.
After inspecting it, Qi Yuan happily turned out another sweet potato immediately.Because the sweet potatoes are just out, they are very hot.In addition, sweet potatoes are not as small as chestnuts, so Qi Yuan himself dare not reach out to the sweet potatoes right now.
But sweet potatoes taste the most delicious when eaten, so Qi Yuan directly brought two clean dishcloths and two spoons.Qi Yuan first hugged a sweet potato with a rag and picked it up, then tore open one end of the sweet potato with his hands, and immediately the sweet potato smell came out.
Smelling the aroma of sweet potatoes, Qi Yuan was very satisfied.
"Try it quickly." Qi Yuan handed the processed sweet potato and a spoon to Tao Hua directly.
Tao Hua just saw Qi Yuan's birth, and thought he had to coax him a lot to coax him well!He didn't expect that the other party would hand him food before he said anything, which made Tao Hua blame himself very much.
"Sorry, I shouldn't have done that just now."
Hearing Tao Hua's apology, Qi Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "You are such a big man, what happened just now? Eat it quickly! It won't taste good when it's cold. .”
After Qi Yuan finished speaking, he didn't care what Tao Hua's expression was, and directly stuffed the sweet potato in Tao Hua's hand, and then he turned around and went to peel the sweet potato he ate.
Just as Qi Yuan lowered his head to peel the sweet potatoes, a spoon suddenly appeared next to his mouth, on which was a spoon full of sweet potatoes.Smelling the sweet and fragrant sweet potato, Qi Yuan opened his mouth without thinking, and ate it in one gulp.
Therefore, Qi Yuan had already eaten several mouthfuls of sweet potatoes before he peeled them.When Qi Yuan finished peeling his own sweet potatoes, Tao Hua stopped feeding Qi Yuan, and started to eat by himself.
Qi Yuan originally planned to replace it with Tao Hua, after all, Tao Hua had been feeding him just now, but he himself didn't eat a single bite.
But when Qi Yuan turned his head to talk to Tao Hua, he saw Tao Hua feeding the spoon he had just fed into his mouth.Qi Yuan wanted to stop him, but before he could say it, the spoon had already entered Tao Hua's mouth.
Tao Hua swallowed the sweet potato in his mouth, and then asked, "What's wrong with Ayuan?"
Faced with Tao Hua's unknowing behavior, Qi Yuan immediately swallowed what he wanted to say, but Nana asked, "How does it taste?"
Seeing that Qi Yuan was only asking this, Tao Hua immediately smiled and said, "It's delicious! This is the best sweet potato I've ever eaten."
"Really?" After Qi Yuan finished speaking, his ears turned red involuntarily.
Tao Hua didn't notice this, and Qi Yuan deliberately diverted his attention, so the two just ate in silence.
The two of them didn't cook lunch that day, so they just ate various things and passed by.
Because he ate a lot during the day, Qi Yuan didn't do anything to eat at night, he just cooked some dumplings to deal with it.
