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

This is the first time for the two of them to cut mulberry trees. They may not be able to take root and survive. They just try it first. If it doesn't work, they can go to the village to pull out more as soon as possible.

This sapling is really heavy. If you bring the soil ball back with you, a larger mulberry tree weighs several dozen pounds. If you have to transplant so many trees and dig them back, the two of you will have to work all day.

Logically speaking, the season for cuttings should be spring. If it were last year, the mulberry tree cuttings would definitely be able to adapt to the temperature. However, this year is much colder than last autumn. It is only autumn now, and the temperature is already colder than the coldest period of last winter. It will be a degree or two colder.

It looks a bit like it used to when the four seasons were distinct.

It's a good thing in the long run, but from a short distance...the passion fruit they planted was strangled in the cradle before it grew up.

This plant, which is considered a tropical fruit, will stop growing when the temperature reaches more than ten degrees Celsius.

Anyway, if it’s not alive, just pull it out. Passion fruit pests may breed if you leave it there. It doesn’t matter if they are eaten, but you are afraid that the insects will be attracted and lay eggs in the soil, which will harm the new passion fruit seedlings when you plant them again next year.

But having said that, if the temperature really cools down this winter, you have to prepare in advance.

The first is the storage of vegetables. Pick vegetables that are durable, such as cabbage and radishes, and put them in the cellar before winter.

The planting basement must also be reused. After the ground temperature drops below 15 degrees, the temperature inside the basement is more suitable for growing things.

The soil in the basement also needs to be rearranged and then sterilized and fertilized.

These tasks can only be carried out when there is still good sunshine conditions, which means that they must be dealt with in the near future.

The area of ​​the planting basement is not large and the entrance is relatively narrow. It is not suitable for mechanical equipment to enter and work. It can only be dug and fertilized manually.

Zhao Yeqing was so busy that he drove away Mu Xi who wanted to help.

"I want to eat roast duck, you go get the roast duck stove."

Every time he said he wanted to build the stove, he was delayed by other things. Mu Xi could only obediently build the stove, reluctantly.

It wasn't that he was unwilling to work. Zhao Yeqing found that since he really broke through the last step, Mu Xi had become extremely clingy and wanted to do everything together. She would let her watch him do any work that was too tiring.

Even more so than when we were first together.

The consequence of eating the marrow and knowing the taste was that the number of gunshots between the two of them increased from that day on. Mu Xi tried very hard to endure it every time, and would become a different person until the safest few days next month.

Zhao Yeqing truly felt how rough the two's earliest carpentry work was -

The bed was still in good condition, but one night more than a month later, there was a crisp cracking sound from the bed board.

It's not that there's something wrong with the wood, but there's something wrong with the design. The load-bearing is not so even. It's fine for normal sleep, but it can't withstand any big movements.

That night, even though the bed cracked, it didn't stop someone's movements. He picked her up and got out of bed and continued without any delay.

So a young man named Mu discovered the New World,

"Next time we change places, it won't necessarily be over there."

After the beginning of winter, the weather got really cold and it was not so convenient to act recklessly everywhere, so Mu Xi restrained himself a little.

But Zhao Yeqing could no longer look directly at every place in his home.

-

Zhao Yeqing neatly stacked the firewood chopped by Mu Xi under the small firewood shed outside the yard. It is expected that he can light the fireplace this winter.

Before winter, the two went to the mountains to chop a lot of wood. In addition to making firewood for the fireplace, they also needed to make charcoal for barbecues.

According to Zhao Yeqing's idea when firing red bricks, the large brick kiln he built before was sealed and used to bake a large amount of charcoal. The carbonization effect should be better than that of the previous earthen kiln.

Mu Xi lit the wood and threw it in, sealing the hole at the right time. While waiting for carbonization, he could prepare the roast duck for dinner.

In the autumn, Zhao Yeqing said he wanted to eat it. The first roast duck he made at that time failed. It was a bit difficult and could easily be heated unevenly, causing some places to be cooked while others were still white.

Zhao Yeqing said that he is easy to take care of, and he eats everything and is almost not picky about food. But it is often people like this who love to eat the most. The more people love to eat, the more good things they have eaten.

After the first roast duck was successfully baked, Zhao Yeqing was not very satisfied.

“It’s delicious, but I prefer the kind of roast duck with crystal-clear and crispy skin, dipped in sugar.”

Even so, she still ate most of the roast duck that she was not very satisfied with, leaving her mouth full of oil and belching.

Zhao Yeqing found that he seemed to be less able to eat fat now. After years of exercise and weight stability, now even if he doesn't exercise or eats a lot of fat, as long as he doesn't eat too much, he won't gain weight.

At most, the tight muscles become looser.

Zhao Yeqing couldn't be too satisfied. This was what she had dreamed of.

So studying all kinds of delicious food became Zhao Yeqing's favorite thing to do in winter.

Mu Xi also planned to try roast duck tonight. Zhao Yeqing told him about the recipe tutorials he had seen online.

"The duck skin needs to be blown up, brushed with skin water and allowed to dry before being put in for roasting..."

When she first fell in love with this kind of roast duck, she went to the store to eat it several times, but she couldn't stand it, so she went online to find tutorials to see if she could replicate it.

But not only is the preparation work tedious, the final roasting also requires the use of a special roasting duck furnace.

It's not that she couldn't bear to part with the ceiling stove because it was expensive. The main reason was that it was too big and the rented house was small. Even if she bought it and baked it every month, it would still take up a lot of space.

Now she has no worries at all. She can make the oven as big or small as she wants, and the entire meadow is hers.

After explaining to Mu Xi, Zhao Yeqing returned to the kitchen to make today's lunch.

After the beginning of winter, the temperature remained at about ten degrees. It was quite cool. She wore a bottoming shirt and a sweater underneath, and a thick coat outside. She couldn't wear it when she went indoors, and it was even more difficult to cook. It's hot, so I have to take off my coat.

With his hair tied and his sleeves rolled up, Zhao Yeqing opened the refrigerator door to see what he could make for lunch.

When the weather gets cold, I want to eat something with hot soup. Recently, every day during the day, I either have soup noodles, rice noodles, or wonton dumplings.

Zhao Yeqing wanted to eat something different today. He wanted to make noodles that he hadn't eaten in a long time. If he wanted to drink something hot, he would make a separate dish to go with the soup.

Take out the noodles that have been made before and put them directly into the water and cook them out. After the pot is hot, put two large handfuls of pork fat cut into small cubes and fry until the oil is released, then put it on the noodles. Add minced garlic, chopped green onion, sesame seeds, pour hot oil and drizzle with soy sauce.

During the stirring process, the fragrance drifted along the window and into Mu Xi's nose.

The movements of his hands quickened, he took a bamboo pipe and inserted it into the duck's neck.
