After traveling through the book, I realized my wish in my previous life

On the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, Shen Xiaoxia wrapped herself tightly and went to a hunter's house at the foot of the mountain. She bought a rabbit. The rabbit was not small. After being processed, it weighed more than four pounds and was frozen hard. In addition to the rabbit, she also bought two pheasants, which were also processed and marinated. The two pheasants together weighed more than four pounds.

A total of nine dollars was given.

On the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, it had not snowed since the heavy snow on the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month, but the temperature was too low and the snow had not completely melted.

In the early morning, the Youth League Courtyard was wrapped in a layer of silver. In the biting cold wind, the remaining snow was shaking on the branches.

At some point, a red sun slowly rose in the sky, casting golden rays of light, and the white snow was coated with a layer of dreamy gold.

The originally cold snow was now shining with tiny rays of light, making it impossible to open one's eyes.

The icicles under the eaves, caressed by the sun, gradually oozed out crystal clear water droplets, which slid down the icicles, and with a "tick-tick" sound, splashed a small amount of water on the snow.

Shen Xiaoxia walked out of the house and felt it. Although the sun was shining on her body, the coldness was not dispelled at all.

She plans to leave tomorrow, but she doesn't know if she can get away.

At noon, she hid in the space and ate a hot pot. She plugged in the electric cooker, added hot pot base, and poured water into the pot. As the water continued to heat, it soon began to gurgle and steam rose.

The aroma of spicy and mellow fragrance spreads in the living room, stimulating the olfactory nerves.

Ingredients are the soul of hot pot. Take out all kinds of ingredients prepared in advance, tender lamb rolls, thinly sliced ​​beef rolls, green vegetables, fresh potato slices, lettuce slices, crispy fungus, white and plump fish balls, round and plump beef balls, and the frozen tofu that is extremely delicious when soaked in soup, as well as long and thin vermicelli, etc. Each one is the essence of hot pot.

Put slices of lamb rolls and beef slices into the pot, watch them quickly change color and curl up in the boiling water, and the aroma of meat instantly fills the air.

Soon after, beef balls, fish balls, vegetables, fungus, etc. were put into the pot one after another. The soup base in the pot was churning up and down, and various ingredients were blending with each other in the pot.

Pick up the cooked ingredients, coat them with carefully prepared sesame sauce, and put them in your mouth. The tenderness of the meat, the freshness of the vegetables, and the crispness of the wood ear mushrooms, every bite is an ultimate temptation to the taste buds, and every chew is a deep enjoyment of the food.

The hotpot meal lasted nearly two hours. After taking a break, I cleaned up the kitchen, washed my hair and took a shower, and changed my clothes. The smell of hotpot was too strong, and it would be difficult to explain if I left the space with that smell.

In the evening, there was a knock on Shen Xiaoxia's door. She thought it was Han Zhuxin looking for her, but when she opened the door, it turned out to be Jiang Yan.

Shen Xiaoxia was very surprised when she saw him, "Why are you back? When did you come back?"

It’s too cold outside, she added, “It’s too cold outside, why don’t you come in and talk?”

Jiang Yan thought about it. He didn't care, but he was afraid that Shen Xiaoxia would feel cold if the door was open. He nodded and went into the house.

He didn't look around, just staring at Shen Xiaoxia, "I just got home. I was worried that you had already gone home, but luckily you made it in time!"

Shen Xiaoxia was a little surprised, "Didn't you say you couldn't make it back?"

She thought she would never see Jiang Yan again. She originally thought that Jiang Yan would return home after she left, and when she came back, Jiang Yan might have left again. Unexpectedly, he came back before she left!

Jiang Yan calculated the time. He didn't dare to waste any time in the past month. He rushed back in the afternoon. Qin Song knew what he was thinking and didn't complain during the journey.

At first, he was afraid that if he said he could come back, he would be delayed by something and would not be able to come back, which would disappoint Shen Xiaoxia, so he did not dare to say it in advance.

Jiang Yan didn't mention the hardships he had endured during this period. "I'll be back as soon as the time is right!"

Shen Xiaoxia looked at the tiredness between his brows and knew that he must have been traveling during this period. She felt a little sad and a little touched in her heart.

"I'll go get you a cup of hot water," Shen Xiaoxia said and turned to go to the kitchen. She had been warming water on the stove, which was boiled and kept warm so that she could use it at any time.

After returning, he handed the water to Jiang Yan. Jiang Yan was indeed a little thirsty, so he took it and said, "Thank you!"

Shen Xiaoxia pulled out the chair in front of the desk and said, "Would you like to sit for a while?"

Jiang Yan didn't refuse and sat down directly. After drinking a glass of water, he placed the cup on the desk. Shen Xiaoxia asked, "Do you want more?"

Having quenched his thirst, Jiang Yan shook his head slightly, "No, I'm not thirsty anymore!"

Shen Xiaoxia nodded and sat down on the edge of the kang.

Jiang Yan looked at Shen Xiaoxia with gentle eyes, "Are you leaving tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"

Shen Xiaoxia replied, "Tomorrow!"

Jiang Yan nodded gently, "I'll take you to the county town first tomorrow, and then to the city."

Shen Xiaoxia said, "Zhu Xin and Ling Ling also said they would send me off tomorrow. If you're busy, it's okay to focus on your own things!"

Jiang Yan laughed and resisted the urge to rub Shen Xiaoxia's head. "You don't have any requirements for me?"

Shen Xiaoxia exclaimed "Ah", not understanding what Jiang Yan meant.

Jiang Yan looked at Shen Xiaoxia's confused expression and said, "You have to ask me to do something for you, right? Otherwise, what's the point of my existence?"

After finally understanding, Shen Xiaoxia felt a little embarrassed for a moment. She was used to being independent and seldom needed others to do anything for her. She was used to not bothering others with things she could solve on her own!

As if he understood Shen Xiaoxia's thoughts, Jiang Yan said in a gentle voice, "Xia Xia, I am different from others after all. You can make demands on me!"

Looking into Jiang Yan's eyes, Shen Xiaoxia smiled and said, "Oh, I'll try my best!"

Jiang Yan said, "Ride your bike to the county town tomorrow and leave it at Qin Song's house. Then I'll drive you to the city to catch the train!"

Afraid that Shen Xiaoxia had forgotten who Qin Song was, he added, "Qin Song is the colleague you met at the state-owned restaurant before. He has always been my partner!"

Shen Xiaoxia still remembered who Qin Song was. She was curious about Jiang Yan's decision to drive her? Was he driving the transport team's car?

So he asked, "Driving? The transport team's car?"

Jiang Yan nodded. "After delivering the goods this time, we didn't delay and came back directly. We haven't reported to the transport team yet. I thought I would go back and report after delivering you."

Shen Xiaoxia was a little worried. "Is it okay for you to use the bus for personal purposes like this? It would be bad if you were caught, right?"

What she didn’t say was that Jiang Yan shouldn’t lose his job because of this incident!

Jiang Yan comforted her, "It's okay, just be careful. Besides, if you really find out, I have excuses and solutions. Don't worry."

Shen Xiaoxia confirmed again and again, "Really?"

Jiang Yan patiently replied, "Really? Don't worry, nothing will go wrong!"

Seeing that what he said didn't sound false, Shen Xiaoxia finally felt relieved!
