Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 253 It’s Snowing 2

"Hotpot. Such cold weather is definitely more suitable for hotpot." The Taoist priest suggested.

"I agree with eating hotpot. We haven't eaten it for a long time." Lu Chuan also said.

"Okay, let's eat hotpot today. I'll go to the kitchen to stew the chicken soup first. It will taste better with the chicken soup as the base soup later, and we can also put the chicken in the hotpot." After Xu Han said this, she stood up and prepared to go to the kitchen to cook.

Lu Chuan stood up and said, "I'll help you."

"I'll help you wash the vegetables too." Grandpa Zhao also stood up.

"Then I will be responsible for taking care of the children." The Taoist priest also found a task for himself.

Everyone was busy together and dinner was prepared quickly. After the chicken soup was ready, we could start making hot pot.

Because Mu'er couldn't eat hot pot, Xu Han scooped out a chicken liver for him. After blanching some noodles and vegetables in chicken broth, she added beef hot pot base into the pot.

After the hot pot base melts, the aroma of the hot pot instantly fills the entire room.

Everyone gathered around the table, chatting and eating hot pot.

"We won't be short of water in the future. This is really great. Today everyone can drink as much as they want." Xu Han said.

"Hahahaha, since you're no longer short of water, of course you're generous." The Taoist priest joked.

"Hahahahahaha." Everyone laughed when they heard this.

In any case, the drought is finally over. Even though there will be snowstorms and floods later, so what!

After three years of drought, Xu Han now just feels great that there is no shortage of water.

I hope Xu Han will still think like this in the future. Floods and droughts are both worse than the other, but fortunately the flood only lasted for one year.

One year is much easier to endure than three years. At least it has a great advantage in terms of time.

In this way, everyone ate hot pot while celebrating that they finally had water to use. From now on, they no longer had to be so thirsty that their throats were smoking, or so dirty that their bodies were all black.

In the blink of an eye, it was night again. When everyone went to bed, they had beautiful visions of their future life, but at the same time they were worried about when the heavy snow would stop.

The next morning, when Xu Han woke up, Mu'er had already gotten up and stretched. She was really cold!

Xu Han quickly retracted his outstretched arm.

Not knowing what was going on outside, Xu Han didn't hesitate. She resisted the urge to hide under the quilt and quickly got dressed and got up.

I just opened the door and walked outside, then turned back and took a leather coat to put on myself. The temperature today is really too cold. Why does it feel even colder than yesterday?

When Xu Han left the main room, she was instantly dazzled by the snow scene outside. It was all white everywhere.

Whether it was on the roof, on the hillside in the distance, or on the tall trees, everything was covered in white. No other color could be seen except white.

"Mom~" Mu'er trotted over immediately when she saw Xu Han coming.

Because he was wearing too many clothes, he looked funny when he ran, like a moving little ball.

Then he pointed at the snow on the ground and waved the small shovel in his hand.

"Snow~" Xu Han taught Mu'er.

"Snow~" Mu'er followed.

"Mu'er is awesome. I commend you." Xu Han kissed Mu'er on the face and said.

"Hehe." Mu'er giggled when she was praised.

"Let's go. Follow mother to the kitchen to relax for a while, and then come out to play later. Look, your little hands are so cold." After saying this, Xu Han took the small shovel from Mu'er's hand.

Then he pulled Mu'er's sleeves down and took her to the kitchen.

After Xu Han finished breakfast, she immediately returned to her room to make a pair of rabbit leather shoes and a pair of rabbit leather gloves for Mu'er.

Because the weather was not cold before, I made a pair of rabbit leather shoes with Muer. Now it is snowing, and one pair is definitely not enough to wear.

If they get wet accidentally, Mu'er will have no shoes to wear.

The weather is quite cold now, so we definitely can't keep Mu'er in the room all the time without her going out.

You should wear gloves when you go out to play, otherwise your hands will become red and swollen from the cold, or even get frostbite.

Grandpa Zhao took Mu'er to school, so Xu Han took every opportunity to make things for Mu'er.

Lu Chuan and the Taoist priest were wearing bamboo hats and clearing the snow in the yard.

I have to say that it snowed heavily all night, and by the next day there was a very thick layer of snow in the yard.

If it is not cleaned up in time, it will definitely accumulate more and more, and it will be difficult to clean up then.

So Lu Chuan and the Taoist priest were responsible for shoveling the snow onto the large straw mat, and when Xu Han was free, they would transport it directly to the creek outside.

This also avoids the yard being filled with water after the water is hydrated later.

After Xu Han quickly made the gloves and shoes, she immediately went to the backyard to help Mu'er change them, and by the way, put the shoes that Mu'er had just worn next to the charcoal fire to roast.

"Okay, Mu'er, after you put on the gloves, you can go to the yard to play in the snow, but you can't play for a long time, otherwise you will get sick." Xu Han said after fully arming Mu'er.

Not only did he wear gloves, but he also wore the scarf and small hat that I had made earlier. They were both made of rabbit fur and were very cute.

"Hahaha, our little Mu'er won't be cold now. Let's go, grandpa will take you to make a snowman." Grandpa Zhao picked up Mu'er and walked outside.

Xu Han also followed him out of the yard, went to melt some snow water, and put it in a water tank to settle it so that she could take a bath after lunch.

"Lu Chuan, please light the big pot outside and melt some snow water so that we can use it for taking a bath in the afternoon." Xu Han said to Lu Chuan.

"Okay, I'll be right there." After saying that, Lu Chuan put down the tools in his hands, turned around and went to the woodshed to bring in firewood.

Xu Han went to the kitchen and lit the stove. Using three pots together would melt the snow faster.

After the pot was lit, the Taoist priest carried a wooden bucket of cleaner snow and poured it into the pot.

As the temperature inside the pot rose, the snow inside the pot slowly melted into water.

However, Xu Han found that there were still some impurities in it, so she turned around and went to the warehouse and took out a large piece of clean white cotton cloth.

"Lu Chuan, come and help me." Xu Han said and went into the kitchen with cotton cloth.

"What's wrong?" Lu Chuan came in and asked.

"I think there are impurities in the snow water and it's not clean. Let's tie this cotton cloth on the mouth of the big water tank and then pour the water directly into the tank to filter it." Xu Han said as he opened the cotton cloth in his hand.

Lu Chuan looked into the pot and found some impurities, so he helped to get the cloth for filtering.

"Is one floor okay? How about two floors?" Xu Han asked uncertainly.
