The body's temperature decreases, and supplementing with sugar can better maintain the body's heat supply.

It can also provide emotional value.

Now, in addition to eating and drinking at home, the two of them have to spend an hour every day exercising.

It's not that Zhao Yeqing is afraid of getting fat, it's just that exercise can help prevent winter depression and provide calories to maintain physical fitness.

After drinking the milk, she felt her body became warmer from the inside out. She stood up and jumped up and down.

While jumping around, he stuck his head out of the curtain to see if Mu Xi had finished cutting.

Mu Xi had just finished cutting the last section, "It's done, I'll take down the curtains first."

At this temperature, the curtains with gaps could no longer provide any insulation. Mu Xi removed them, and now the temperatures in the front and back of the room were about the same. Only the area near the fireplace felt warm.

The two of them worked together to nail the curtain to the ceiling. The ceiling was made of red bricks and cement, but wooden beams were added for reinforcement. If you wanted to nail it, it was best to nail it to the wooden beams, but some of the beams were close to the fireplace. If you nailed them here, The space is a bit small.

That's probably what it means

Zhao Yeqing thought it was nothing, "Just nail it to the beam. The smaller the space, the better."

The canvas was very heavy, and a nail had to be driven every short distance to hold it up. After the two people nailed the canvas curtain, they were thinking about adding more firepower to try to keep warm.

'Clang! 'Sound.

The glass next to the fireplace suddenly shattered and cracked, and shards of glass fell to the floor. The dogs who were warming up by the fire raised their heads in fear.

"I'll do it, you don't have any gloves."

Mu Xi stopped Zhao Yeqing who was about to step forward and asked her to get a broom for him.

Clean up the glass shards on the ground and the glass shards stuck on the floor mat.

Zhao Yeqing walked to the window. When the cold air from outside came in, it was filled with white smoke, just like the white mist when opening the freezer section of the refrigerator in summer.

The glass was shattered so completely that there was no trace left on the window frame.

"It must be too cold and the single layer of glass cannot withstand it."

When it first started snowing, they said they would wait until the snow stopped before replacing the windows in the tourist area. The windows over there were made of three-layer thick glass, so this would definitely not happen.

But then it got dark and there was no time to do it.

The two of them had just finished taking care of the curtains, thinking that they would finally be warm, but now there was another hole in the window and they had to continue to repair it.

There was no spare glass, so the two simply cut another piece of thick canvas. It was waterproof anyway, so it didn't matter if it rained or snowed, and it wouldn't freeze or crack.

Zhao Yeqing also took a piece of unprocessed wool felt and canvas and sewed them together before nailing them on, which could provide some warmth.

Anyway, the lack of a window does not affect the lighting.

I won’t do anything about the other windows until they are broken. The remaining canvas will be placed in the house for easy access at any time.

There was no gap to see through, and the temperature in this sealed small space gradually increased after a while.

Finally it stabilized at five degrees above zero.

Zhao Yeqing is already very satisfied with this temperature.

"It's okay, it's okay. With our half-baked heating equipment, it's not easy to keep it above zero."

Mu Xi also breathed a sigh of relief. He originally thought that winter would only last in April or May at most, but he didn't expect that it has already been more than four months. The temperature is still falling again and again, the insulation facilities are not perfect, and the sun has not come out yet.

He could feel Zhao Yeqing's mood getting increasingly depressed at home, and he was most likely to get sick in this situation.

Women are more emotional and emotionally sensitive than men. Winter depression is also called seasonal affective disorder, and the incidence rate in women is much higher than in men.

After improving the heating facilities today, I can feel that her mood is obviously higher than in the past few days.

Zhao Yeqing took off his heavy coat and finally felt a little more relaxed when he was in the house. Now when they go out, they wear three layers of clothes on the inside and three layers on the outside. They add up to seven or eight layers, including those on their feet. Socks must be worn in two or three layers.

The shoes are also covered with a non-slip animal leather cover on top of the original ones, so that you can stand in the snow without getting frostbite on your feet.

Once the floor heating warms up again, the dogs no longer need to huddle around the fire and can go back to their dens.

Otherwise, you have to use the stove every time you cook, and it is inconvenient for the dog to lie down by the fire while cooking, and you can't even drive him away.

Xiaohua's tail hair was almost bald by the fire.

The floor heating was finished today, and she drank another glass of sweet milk. Now she felt in a good mood. She felt that sweets were indeed useful, so she thought about making some snacks to keep.

Now that there was no way to go out and use the homemade oven, Zhao Yeqing asked Mu Xi to take out the oven from the pile of small household appliances collected from the tourist area.

I have never used it before to save electricity, but now it is not a waste of electricity if I use it occasionally during special periods.

She was too lazy to bother, so she just planned to make some cookies.

Cookies are very easy to make and require no kneading or fermentation.

Just mix flour, milk, butter, eggs, sugar and other ingredients together, then put them into a plastic bag and cut a hole in the plastic bag to use as a piping bag.

Just squeeze the batter inside into the tray and bake it in the oven.

Except for the troublesome step of whipping the butter in the first step, everything else is very simple.

He didn't bring the egg beater. The last time there was no egg beater at home, Mu Xi beat it with his hands. It was the same this time.

Zhao Yeqing also took out the coffee powder he brought back from Meishan and found a lot of coffee powder from the trunk of the motorcade. He took out two bags and mixed them with the batter to make a coffee-flavored cookie.

Two plates of cookies were put into the oven, with plenty of butter. Soon the rich aroma of butter came from the oven. The aroma was so strong that it was almost overwhelming. The two even opened the curtain to let some air in.

After a sound like a ding, Zhao Yeqing quickly unplugged the plug.

Opening the oven door, Mu Xi took out two baking sheets wrapped in thick towels.

The original cookies are golden brown, while the coffee-flavored cookies are grey-brown. Cookies are delicious hot or cold, but the aroma is more intense when eaten hot.

Now that it was relatively hot to hold with his hands, Zhao Yeqing took a pair of chopsticks and gently poked the cookie a few times to make it completely fall off the baking sheet.

Pick it up and blow on it before putting it in your mouth.

The cookies are so crispy that you don't even need to chew them. They can be reduced to crumbs just by sipping them with your lips.

The biscuit melts in your mouth, and the aroma of milk and butter spreads in your mouth along with the sweetness.
