Pick up a dragon cub to farm

And then, in the twelfth lunar month of winter, the weather became colder. Most of the residents in the town shrank in their houses and did not want to go out, and the business of the shops became much colder.Most of the shops on the streets have closed their doors and returned to the countryside. Only hot pot restaurants, Malatang, and soup restaurants are more prosperous.

After entering the winter, the fish in the township rivers became difficult to catch, and people standing on the street grilling fish were shivering from the cold north wind.Xiaoqi didn't plan to continue grilling fish any more, she packed up and prepared to go home after closing time.

He took most of the day to check the accounts carefully, and found that not only did he not lose money as he was worried about, but he also made a fortune, which was more than enough to return Bei Yan's principal.

Xiao Qi recalled that Bei Yan tried his best to persuade him to go out of the village and take the money to try it in Fengjian Town, and he was really right.Xiaoqi stood at the door of the shop, looking up at the three words "Fish is Fragrant" written with the help of Uncle Feng on the signboard.After several months of wind and rain, the originally brand new and shiny signboard is a bit worn out.Xiao Qi took off the brand on tiptoe and scrubbed it carefully.

He wiped the shelves for grilling fish and the tables and chairs of the shop one by one, put them away and locked them in the shop, and added a layer of locks outside the door of the shop.There was still a pile of unburned charcoal outside the door, Xiaoqi picked them up and put them into the back basket one by one.

Then he left the small shop that had been in operation for four months, and walked back briskly.

When he passed Xianzhiwei, he found that only Nan Wei was wrapping dried fish in the shop, and his two assistants were not in the shop.The ice mouse was lying on its back on the small table at the entrance of the store, eating melon seeds, its beard trembling with the chewing of its bulging cheeks.

Seeing Xiao Qi come in, Nan Zuo took a pack of dried shrimp from the shelf and stuffed it into his hand, "Xiao Qi, come and eat the dried shrimp!"

Xiaoqi grinned, put down the back basket, tore open the paper bag, and bit a dried shrimp in his mouth.Spicy, the taste of shrimp is very strong, but it is strong enough.

He ate with relish, and asked, "Nanzuo, where are Xiaowu and Yinger?"

"They, Benlong asked them to go home." Nan Zuo shook his head, "The business in the store is low these days, and it's idle to stay here, anyway, the weather is cold, so Benlong asked them to go home. "

As he spoke, he looked out the window with his blue eyes, "Listen to me, the New Year is coming soon in the human race, and every household has to prepare food for the New Year. Benlong asked Xiao Wu and the others to go back early so that they can help the family."

Xiao Qi was slightly taken aback.

Yes, it's New Year's Eve.He glanced at the calendar hanging on the wall, and the date on it had turned to the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month.

so……

Bei Yan is coming back.

Xiao Qi touched his pocket.He is looking forward to Bei Yan's return, and he has achieved the success he expected, so he has the confidence to meet him.The teenager hugged the pink cat that was squatting at his feet to his lap, and while feeding it dried shrimps, he gently stroked its soft fur.

"Nanzuo, when are you planning to go home?"

Nanzuo packed the last small bag of dried fish, and smiled at Xiaoqi: "Benlong told Wuer, go back on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. He also asked Benlong to find some things that my brother likes to eat in the town. When the time comes, my brother will come back , there are delicious ones. But," he rolled his eyes, "my brother's favorite food is Xiaoqi's grilled fish!"

"What's the problem?" Xiaoqi patted his chest, "Zhulong helped me a lot. When he comes back, I'll give him as much grilled fish as he wants!" All kinds of fish that Yan likes to eat, even if Zhulong eats a lot, Nanzuo can ensure that he can eat grilled fish every day for the seventh day of the Chinese New Year!

=====

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Nan Zuo returned home.

The winter of the world is extremely cold.In the past, in the Shenlong Valley where the four seasons were like spring, Nanzuo had almost no concept of cold winter.Now in the village where the human race lived together, Nan Zuo knew for the first time what "biting cold wind" is!

As the body grows, not only the only two dull hairs on the top of the dragon cub's head are lost, but even the fluff around the neck that only cubs have is gradually becoming scarce, and the skin becomes slippery.

The little dragon cub resisted the heat but was afraid of the cold, so he had to stay indoors all day.It squatted next to the charcoal fire in the center of the room, stretched out its two little paws, put them on the fire to bake, and played with the cat at the same time.

Ice rats and crystal salamanders are exotic beasts that need to hibernate.Before the end of the twelfth lunar month, they dug their caves in advance, ate a lot of food, and then got in, preparing to come out again next year.

As the end of the year approaches, both Wen Yuren and Feng Bo get busy.They first pasted Taoist symbols near the flower fields and fruit trees, and then covered the fragile fruit seedlings with straw to prevent these carefully cultivated seedlings from freezing to death in the cold winter.

And because the water here freezes all the year round in winter, they fished up all the fish and shrimp from the Nanwo Fish Pond, made fish balls, shrimp balls, smoked fish and other food, and stored them for eating during the Chinese New Year.

While preparing to eat, Wen Yuren went to the tailor's shop in the town, and had someone make a few sets of cotton coats for the winter two days before they closed down.He also specially measured two sets of sizes for Nanvortex, one for the boy form after transformation, and the other for the dragon cub form.

He knows that dragon cubs are not like pink cats, they don't have thick fur to resist the cold wind, and they are especially afraid of the cold, so he specially made two sets of fancy clothes for those who never wear clothes. Dragon cubs also wear it.

On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, people from the village came to the door one after another, asking the only Taoist in the village to draw amulets and pray for them.

Nan Guo lay on the window of the bedroom on the second floor, wrapped in a small quilt, and watched the villagers below happily take the blessing characters written in cinnabar and leave, and some would leave some marinated eggs, meatballs, sweet potatoes, etc. Thank you.

Having seen enough, it rubbed its cold paws, exhaled warm air on the palms, and then lay down in the warm blanket and went to sleep.

At night, the dragon cub was carried out of the bed by Wen Yuren, but in a daze, he felt something soft sticking to his body.It opened its eyes with a whimper, and saw that Wen Yuren was taking a set of red cotton gowns from the big cloth bag and putting them on.

The gown is quite thick and soft, it is very comfortable to wear, and it is not cold anymore.

Because the dragon cub's legs are too short, less than a foot, and the shape of the legs is also different from that of the human race, it is difficult for the tailors in the shop to start making cotton trousers. After deliberation, Wen Yuren simply asked her to make a longer set. The gown can cover the whole body of the dragon cub from the neck to the legs and feet.

After dressing neatly like this and fastening the buttons, the cold wind outside can no longer get in.

After putting on the little gown, Nan Zuo stretched out his small arms and turned around on the bed.Seeing that his little gown was beautiful and warm, the young dragon happily yelled and jumped up and down: "Ooooh!"

"Come on, and this."

Wen Yuren took out another velvet sleeve and put it on the dragon cub's tail.The little gown couldn't cover the tail, so he asked the tailor to make a cotton cover according to the size of Nanzuo's tail, so that the exposed tail could also keep warm.

Then a pair of small cotton shoes.

"These shoes are given to you by Xiao Qi."

The cotton shoes are very cute children's style. The front of the shoes is in the shape of a tiger's head, which looks very festive and cute.

The little dragon cub stretched out his feet, and Wen Yuren half-kneeled on the ground, carefully putting on the tiger cotton shoes on the soles of both feet.

Putting on new clothes and shoes, Nan Nuo couldn't wait to jump to the ground, and ran around the room waddling.But the man gently picked it up, "There's the last one."

Nan Zuo tilted his head, "Aww?" What else?

Wen Yuren took out the last thing from the big cloth bag - a red fluffy hat.

This was the hat he had finally persuaded the tailor to get.When he went to the tailor, the aunt was very surprised at the size he gave, and kept asking what kind of doll could be less than four feet tall with such a big head.She insisted that Wen Yuren must have made a mistake, and after arguing with him for a long time, she gritted her teeth and made a big plush hat for Wen Yuren's high bid.

After handing over the hat, the aunt repeatedly explained to Wen Yuren that if the size did not match, she would have to pay extra for it to be remade!

But Wen Yuren put a fluffy hat on Nanwo and confirmed that he had measured it correctly—the fluffy hat just covered Nanwo's big head, which couldn't be more suitable!And Nan Zuo touched his hat, and there were two small fur balls hanging from the brim of the hat. He rubbed the little fur balls with his paws, and found it very interesting.

Wearing beautiful and warm new clothes from head to toe, Xiaolong cubs will also be full of joy in the new year.

As night fell, it was the last night of the old year.The village has already sounded lively firecrackers.Nan Guo stretched out her little claws, and took Wen Yuren's knuckle-boned hand.

Today is New Year's Eve.A good day for the reunion of the human race.Even Wen Yuren, who usually only wore blue and black, made an exception and followed the custom by wearing a red cotton padded coat.

And for a handsome man like him, after wearing the red dress, not only did he not look vulgar, but he was even a little bit gorgeous.

The beauty in red and white hair is really seductive to look at!The dragon cub hugged the man's long legs intoxicatedly, rubbing his face against his clothes.

"Nanzuo, let's go downstairs."

Wen Yuren held the young dragon's little paw, and two figures, one big and one small, walked downstairs.There, Uncle Feng has already brought out all kinds of food for the New Year's Eve dinner from the kitchen, such as shrimp balls, cooked beef, braised eggs, radish rib soup... and a big pot of steaming fresh fish soup!

Feng Bo came over with a plate of side dishes cheerfully.

"Little guy, today is New Year's Eve, a day for every family to reunite and celebrate." The old man said with a smile, "Today I and Xiao Wen have cooked a lot of delicious dishes, you should eat more later!"

Nan Nuo touched his shriveled belly, and nodded seriously.Uncle Feng and Wu Er's craftsmanship is incredible, as the most gluttonous little dragon in the world, on New Year's Eve, it will eat so much that its belly is so full that it can't hold it anymore!

Moreover, Nan Zuo also heard familiar voices coming from the kitchen.Standing on tiptoe, the cub's eyes lit up.

It's Xiao Qi!

The young man was helping to cook in the kitchen, so he didn't have time to say hello to Long Bao.

Uncle Feng also grinned, and said, "Xiaoqi brought his mother over to have the New Year's Eve dinner with us."

Naruto nodded.There are only him and his mother in Xiaoqi's family, and it is relatively deserted. Come over to eat together, the whole family is reunited, lively and lively, very good!

"Ooooooh-!"

Staring intently at the sumptuous New Year banquet on the table, Nan Voo opened his mouth wide, and the saliva flowed down with a swipe.It jumped happily towards the table.

I ran a few steps——huh, can’t you run?

Turning around again, Wen Yuren firmly held its tail.

"Little stupid dragon, the time has not come yet, don't rush forward."

Nan Zuo flattened his mouth aggrievedly.It looked at the food on the table unwillingly, grunted, and let out a hungry cry from its stomach.

Why can't you eat it?Nanwo swallowed desperately.But Wen Yuren smiled and pointed outside, "According to the custom of the human race, firecrackers must be set off before the New Year's Eve dinner."
