Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

After the rain stopped, the two of them had knocked a lot of ice off.

I had originally considered whether to wait and see if it would rain again. Don't knock it out for a few days, and if it rains and freezes again, it would be in vain.

But then I thought, if I don’t knock it, such a thick layer of ice will accumulate on the roof and eaves, and it will collapse over time, so I have to knock it.

From that day on, the rain fortunately never happened again, and the entire meadow returned to its previous quiet state, with no sound of wind, no rain or snow, and no movement of any living creature.

In the house, there was only the crackling sound of burning firewood and the sound of TV series coming from the mobile phone.

In order to save money, Zhao Yeqing didn't even skip the opening credits and the ending. The cached TV series and movies were not without bad movies. When he thought that now was not the time to be picky, he still patiently finished watching them slowly.

The house is still lively when there are noises. As long as you don't open the curtains and stay in the house every day, it's no different from before.

Mu Xi is not that kind of person who can sit still. He is always looking for work in the house, cleaning dust and arranging furniture.

Now that I really can’t find any work in the house, I’m thinking of going to the basement to clean up the barns and weeds.

Zhao Yeqing hurriedly explained: "You can pull the weeds, but don't water them."

The planting basement is relatively closed. The biggest trouble in growing vegetables is that it is too closed, damp and dark. Even if the lights are turned on, the plants can easily get sick and become waterlogged due to the darkness and dampness.

I brought back more than one grow light before. In addition to a full-spectrum fill light, the grow light also has an iodine tungsten lamp to increase the temperature. Before I didn’t have a generator, I never considered using this lamp to heat the ground. Now I turn it on from time to time. It's not a bad idea.

This light cannot be used in the breeding basement. The space there is large and she would have to turn on several of these lights, which she couldn't bear to part with.

Two exhaust fans are already installed in the breeding basement. Burning a small amount of charcoal or corn cobs will not cause excessive carbon monoxide concentration.

There are a lot of animals inside. Compared with the planting basement, the temperature is already higher, and the livestock are also more cold-resistant. The temperature inside does not require burning charcoal now.

Mu Xi agreed to Zhao Yeqing's words, thinking that he had just pulled the weeds in the planting basement. Since he didn't need to water, he didn't go there yet. He walked to the breeding basement and built a small shed for the chickens in the chicken coop that were least resistant to cold. Keeping them huddled together will keep them warmer.

There is no need to cook anything tonight. The leek flower sauce has already fermented. After a while, the tripe meat will be thawed, then the mutton sausage and lamb chops will be added to the pot and stewed until cooked through.

The altitude of the meadow is neither high nor low, so rice can still be cooked, but if you want to stew meat, it is best to use a pressure cooker to stew it until it is soft and tender, especially for ingredients such as tripe meat, which is relatively difficult to chew.

Stewing meat is simple, just use water and add some scallions and ginger slices. Zhao Yeqing put down the wool stick in his hand, put the almost thawed meat into the pressure cooker, covered it with water, and put it on the stove to stew.

Mu Xi said that the dogs at home now follow her and they want to eat whatever they see others eating.

Zhao Yeqing wanted to refute but couldn't. The last time the two of them watched a movie, the movie had many cooking scenes. She would immediately want to eat whatever the protagonist cooked, and she would feel uncomfortable if she couldn't eat it.

The same goes for the dogs at home. Whatever the two of them have for dinner, the dogs will eat.

There is also a piece of mutton in the pressure cooker. When it is cooked, it will be shredded and mixed with mutton soup to mix with rice and feed it to the dog.

There wasn't much exercise in the winter, so both of them started to look more plump, and the dog at home also gradually became gloomy along with them.

Now the dogs have to control the amount of food they eat every day. Mu Xi has repeatedly emphasized to her that she must not feed them any snacks or dried meat, otherwise the four dogs will soon become fat balls.

Feeding animals is one of her hobbies. When she used to go to the zoo, no matter how expensive the feed was, she would buy it and feed it, which felt very therapeutic.

Now facing the eager eyes of several dogs, Zhao Yeqing made up his mind to avoid the wet eyes, "You can't eat anymore, they are all round and fat."

Xiao Hua was the best at coquettishness. She rolled and rubbed at Zhao Yeqing's feet in a cute manner, moaning incessantly.

Zhao Yeqing's hands lingered on the dried meat, rationality and sensibility were at war between heaven and man.

The floor heating was very comfortable, and she didn't need to wear socks in the house. The soft fur of the dog rubbed her feet, which made her feel a little itchy. Her rationality gradually failed, and she was about to touch the little meat with her hands.

Mu Xi pushed the door open at this time, saw her frozen hands, looked at her as if he had caught her again, and finally said helplessly: "I really can't feed her anymore."

Zhao Yeqing was about to cry but had no tears. Who could she ask to reason with?

In the end, the dried meat was confiscated. With Mu Xi sitting in the room, the dogs did not dare to act cute anymore and lay down on their mats.

Seeing the dogs' heads drooping, Zhao Yeqing could only console them: "It's okay, they will be able to eat in a while."

There is a saying in their hometown, "If there are thousands of things, you can't feed the dog at noon", which means that even if the family has money and food, they can't feed the dog at noon, but can only feed it in the morning and evening.

One meal each in the morning and evening is enough for the dogs to eat for a day, but these dogs usually go to herd sheep and find themselves some snacks on the meadow from time to time.

In the past, Rhubarb was able to hunt and feed itself and a few puppies on the meadow. Later, when these puppies grew up, they were taught how to hunt when they were taken out to herd sheep. When they saw rabbits outside, they would run over to them. Basically, there was no A rabbit can escape.

It also develops the habit of wanting some snacks from time to time.

Now smelling the aroma in the pot, the dogs became even more greedy.

Zhao Yeqing looked at the time and felt that it was almost done, "Can you poke it with chopsticks and see if you can pierce it?"

Mu Xi took the pressure cooker off the stove and pulled up the air valve to release the air. Instantly, white steam gushes out of the hole. The sound gradually stopped after the air was released.

When I opened the lid of the pot, the rich aroma of mutton spread out. I took a chopstick and poked the round belly meat. The chopstick pierced easily, and I took the bowl to fill the meat.

The dogs also knew that it was time to eat. Xiao Hei was very clever and immediately used his head to push his little rice bowl over little by little.

This is a scene that can be seen every day. Xiao Hei is the most active when eating, and he is also the tallest.

Mu Xi put the tripe meat in a bowl, took another bowl, poured out the mutton chops and mutton soup, and then began to prepare the dogs' meals.

When Zhao Yeqing saw that the meat was out of the pot, he walked to the shelf and took down the chive sauce he had made a few days ago.
