Winter is so cold, keeping warm is very important. As a result, she purchased a lot of thick clothes, shoes and socks, quilts, firewood, charcoal and other items, and the reserves were full.

After the twelfth lunar month, the taste of the New Year in the capital is getting stronger every day.

It is worthy of being the capital of a country. Under the feet of the emperor, this excitement is also unique.

Every household began to buy New Year's goods one after another, and Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunyun were no exception.

The two of them were country people who entered the city, dazzled, and they had no shortage of money in their hands. As long as they liked, they would buy and buy, and before they knew it, a lot of New Year's goods were stored at home.

Lixia and Liqiu made a lot of meatballs and marinated some bacon with great enthusiasm.

On this day, in the evening, there were dark clouds in the sky. The clouds were getting thicker and heavier. The experienced old people saw it and said that it was going to snow heavily.

Qiao Xuan has already sensed the snow in the air through her supernatural powers. This snow is not only fast, but also huge.

Sure enough, when the twilight fell and the sky was cloudy, when people found it, snowflakes were silently falling in the sky, and soon, they began to rise.

Before going to bed at night, a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the ground, and the flowers and trees in the yard were covered with only soft and undulating outlines.

The next day, it was bright and open through the windows. When I walked out of the house, the crisp air was blowing in my face, refreshing my heart.

Cold is cold, but the sky seems to be bright, clear, and clean. Even if there is nothing in the air baptized by snow, people can clearly feel the difference.

Much brighter.

The snow has stopped, and the bright sun shines down, and everywhere is crystal clear, white and clean.

From outside the yard, there were giggling laughter from time to time, and it was the children of various families in the hutong having fun.

It happened that Shao Yunyun was resting at home that day, and Qiao Xuan entered the room with a sigh of relief and smiled at him: "The weather is really good, let's go out of the city and go up the mountain to enjoy the snow! !"

"It's just snowed heavily, and the pheasants and hares have difficulty moving. They can't get up if they fall into the snow, and when it's cold, they move a lot slower, and they look very stupid. They're easy to catch. Let's try our luck. !"

Qiao Xuan's eyes were sparkling, and her smiling face was full of hope.

Where can Shao Yunyun bear to refuse? Although he was more willing to hide at home with his wife and talk warmly in such weather, and have a hot hot pot at night.

"Okay, get ready and let's set off. Go early and come back early. The sun goes down early in winter, and it gets colder soon after noon!"

"Um!"

So Song Shi hurriedly went to rent a carriage. The Lixia and Liqiu had already prepared breakfast, so he brought it to him, and took a fur cloak, deerskin boots, a hand stove, a charcoal pot, prepared charcoal, a warm pot and so on.

Several people moved quickly, and soon after breakfast they set off.

Leaving Liqiu and Lixia to watch the house at home, Song Shi drove the car together.

Before going out, Qiao Xuan instructed Li Qiu and Li Xia to prepare the bottom of the pot, various vegetables and meat, and eat hot pot at night.

All kinds of meat are abundant in this twelfth lunar month. The plump mutton and beef are cut into thin slices, which is the most suitable for hot pot.

The two happily agreed.

In addition to beef and mutton, there are spare ribs, fish balls, meatballs, vegetarian meatballs, pig blood, vermicelli, wax gourd slices, lotus root slices, taro slices, cabbage, tofu, yuba, and then make some egg dumplings, buy some lamb chops, and still have at home. There are found pea shoots, soybean sprouts.
