The daily life of Yu Baibai's family after traveling through time

After the earthen kang is built, it needs to be burned for three days to remove moisture before people can sleep on it.

Moreover, it was Yu Yaozu’s first time to build a brick bed, so he didn’t know if it would work or if smoke would leak.

Originally, we wanted to move the kang to the east room, but the mother and daughter were still in that room, and we didn’t know if it would be possible.

I built a kang in the west room next to the main hall, cleaned up the room next to it where miscellaneous items were stored, and prepared to set up a pot for dinner. I will move the kitchen here in the future.

When it's cold, the kang can be heated by boiling water in the pot. Of course, this is just Yu Yaozu's idea. We have to wait three days to see whether it will work.

It was noon. The people who had spent the whole morning building the stove pit and covering it with mud added firewood to light the kang. They washed with hot water and ate directly in the main room.

"Wow! My brother-in-law is such a good cook!"

"Third brother, eat more. There's nothing good at my brother-in-law's house, so just make sure you're full!" Yu Yaozu stewed a big pot of pork ribs, added some cabbage, and put a row of pancakes along the edge of the pot.

"One bowl per person, there's more in the pot after you finish!" Yu Yaozu greeted with a smile, holding a bowl in each hand.

The more Father Qiao looked at Yu Yaozu, the more he liked him. He patted Qiao Lao San, who was sitting with a stool stuck to his butt, and scolded him with a smile:

"Why don't you go and serve the bowl! Are you waiting for your father to serve you?"

After the bowls were served, Yu's father hurriedly said, "Dad, you guys eat first. I'll go get Xiaomu some rice soup."

Yu Baibai could no longer eat the meat stewed in the big iron pot, but he could still drink some porridge cooked in a clay pot. There was no way he could do that without milk.

"Brother-in-law, let me go!" Qiao Laoer was also very tempted by the overbearing smell of meat, but he was still well-mannered.

"No, no, you guys eat first, I'll come."

Qiao Mu in the room had been envious for a long time. When he saw Yu's father come in, he hurriedly said:

"When did you learn to cook?"

Father Yu put the rice soup on the table and smiled mysteriously: "Hehehe, it's a secret! You eat it first, and I'll feed it to Baibai after the rice soup cools down a bit."

Qiao Mu nodded with his chopsticks in hand: "Okay, go and have dinner with me!"

"Hey, call me if you need anything!"

"I know, let's go!"

Only then did Yu's father leave the house.

When he arrived at the main hall, he saw three people waiting for him. He hurriedly greeted his father-in-law and mysteriously took out a bottle from his pocket:

"Dad, second brother, third brother, you are in for a treat! This is some fine wine I worked so hard to get!"

As Yu's father spoke, he stretched his neck to take a look at Qiao Mu's room, like a thief.

The son-in-law's behavior amused Mr. Qiao, who put down his chopsticks and pretended to be interested:

"Why? Can it be better than the pear blossom wine in the capital?"

When Qiao Laosan heard his father talking about pear blossom wine, he licked his lips as if savoring the taste:

"Yes! Brother-in-law, next time I'll find a way to make you a pot of pear blossom wine, and I'll have to let you give it a good thumbs up!"

The reason why Qiao Laosan had drunk pear blossom wine was that they had shot a deer. The young master of a wealthy family in the town was in a good mood and generously gave them half a pot of wine, which was about five or six sips. The three of them also became interested.

Qiao Laoer didn't say anything, just waited for Qiao's father to pick up his chopsticks.

Yu Yaozu opened the bottle, put it close to the three people's noses, turned it around, and laughed:

"How is it? It smells good, right?"

I just can't get over the arrogance.

The aroma of the wine really frightened the three of them, even Qiao Lao Er, who didn't like alcohol, couldn't help but look at it.

"Son-in-law! Where did you get this good wine? Cover it up quickly! Let's just smell it! It must be very expensive!" Father Qiao's saliva was constantly secreted with greed, but he still persuaded Yu Yaozu.

Yu Yaozu waved his hand and took out four small glass glasses from his pocket:

"Dad! This wine can't be hidden once it's opened. Don't you want to try such a good wine?"

He poured the wine into the glass while tempting her.

Qiao Laoer was attracted by the four wine glasses: "Why are these glasses so crystal clear?"

After Qiao Laoer said that, Yu Yaozu remembered that this cup might cost a lot of money here, and his eyes rolled:

"This wine and the wine glass come together. Just decide whether you want to drink it or not! I only have this one bottle. There's no other bottle in the entire Great Xia Kingdom!"

"Brother-in-law, please stop talking. I'm so greedy." Qiao Laosan didn't care about that. He picked up a cup and put it under his nose with an intoxicated expression.

Not to mention the wine, just this cup would probably sell for a hundred or eighty taels!

Even if Qiao Laosan thought this way, he would not be so foolish as to cheat his brother-in-law. Naturally, he drank the glass of wine and kept his mouth shut!

Not only the third brother Qiao, but also the second brother and Qiao's father are not talkative people.

Father Qiao also hardened his heart: "Okay! Let's try it! If you come across such a good thing again in the future, you can't take it out again, understand?"

This son-in-law is pretty good. He brought out such good wine as soon as he said so. It shows his respect for me as his father-in-law. He should show filial piety when it is due, but he should also give instructions when necessary.

"Okay, okay! Dad, second brother and third brother, shall we go together?" Yu Yaozu picked up the wine glass and stretched it forward.

"Let's go!" The four of them looked at each other knowingly.

Take a small sip, the taste is mellow and long-lasting!

"Good wine! This is the strongest wine I've ever seen!"

"Brother-in-law! Another drink!"

Yu Yaozu began to feel a little distressed. He wondered how much his daughter had left. If she drank it all, she might never be able to drink again in her lifetime!

Even though I thought so, I still filled my glass and continued drinking!

"Come on, come on! The more you drink, the more ribs you have! Eat and drink well!"

Mr. Qiao was still quite capable. After two drinks, he started to greet people:

"Drink less, and after dinner, come with me to chop wood. Doesn't this big piece of meat taste good? Okay, okay, put it away!"

"Hey, Dad, one last drink, one last drink!"

I have to say that Yu Yaozu is indeed a good drinker, and he can even persuade Mr. Qiao to have another drink.

Finally, Qiao Mu couldn't bear it any longer and shouted:

"Yu Yaozu! You've almost done it!"

"Hey, hey, hey, put it away, wife! I don't want to drink anymore, I don't want to drink anymore, Dad, eat some vegetables!"

Yu Yaozu didn't dare to jump around amid his wife's roar.

Eating spare ribs and drinking good wine, I wouldn't trade this life for anything.

The four of them were eating and drinking together, and the atmosphere was peaceful.

After dinner, they cleared the table and went to the arbor to warm up.

Qiao Mu looked at several grown men sitting around the stove and warming themselves by the fire and said with a smile:

"Dad, since you're here, just stay here with your daughter and stay for a few more days!"

"Yeah! Dad, just stay! There's nothing much to do in the winter anyway, and Xiaomu misses you guys too, so just treat it as spending time with the kids~"

Father Qiao turned around and looked at his two sons. Seeing that they were also full of expectation, he agreed:

"Okay, then stay for a few days. Tomorrow, you two brothers go home and clean up the east room. Make a kang there and keep it warm for three days before coming back."

"Okay, I'll take my third brother back tomorrow, don't worry!" Qiao Lao Er agreed directly.

Yu Yaozu quickly said, "Dad, we're not sure if this kang will be ready yet. Should we wait three more days?"

Father Qiao waved his hand: "No need, just do it!"

Faced with his father-in-law's trust, Yu Yaozu felt very nervous.
