Reborn amidst natural disaster, my childhood sweetheart and dad help me stock up and win effortlessl

Ye Jingmo dried his half-wet hair with a towel.

Jiang Li curled up on the sofa, clutching a hot water bottle, watching a movie playing on her tablet in a languid posture.

Pudding and Jelly lay beside him, intently watching the screen on the tablet, occasionally letting out whimpering sounds as if they understood the content and were echoing it.

The soft light shone into the room, making the whole scene shine and warming Ye Jingmo's heart.

This is the feeling of home.

There are people to laugh with, people to care about you, and a warm yellow light is always left on in the room.

Jiang Li turned her head and saw Ye Jingmo coming out of the bathroom. Noticing that water droplets were still dripping from his hair, she frowned and immediately urged him:

"Brother Mo, why don't you hurry up and dry your hair, or you might catch a cold."

"it is good."

Ye Jingmo's lips curled up slightly, and heeding Jiang Li's words, he immediately picked up the hairdryer and started drying his hair.

Jiang Li shoved the hot water bottle into Ye Jingmo's arms, worried that he might get cold.

Ye Jingmo, both amused and exasperated, put the hot water bottle back into Jiang Li's arms.

"I'm not cold, you can keep it."

Amidst the noise of the hairdryer, Ye Jingmo shouted loudly at Jiang Li.

Jiang Li had no choice but to reluctantly return to the sofa, clutching her hot water bottle.

Ye Jingmo's hair was short, and it dried completely after two or three minutes of blow-drying.

He walked to the sofa, pushed the pudding and jelly aside, and sat down next to Jiang Li.

Wang ~

Pudding let out a mournful cry, clearly unhappy that I might take its place.

Ignoring Pudding's protests, Ye Jingmo reached out and put his arm around Jiang Li's waist, leaning his whole body on her shoulder, inhaling her familiar scent.

"Wait a minute, I'll make you a heater."

This hot water bottle doesn't keep things warm at all; you have to add hot water every half hour, which is way too frequent.

Upon hearing Ye Jingmo's words, Jiang Li, who had been focused on the movie plot, turned to look at him.

"A heater?! The kind like the ones in TV dramas, the kind that wealthy families in ancient times used to keep warm in winter?"

Ye Jingmo played with Jiang Li's hair with his fingers and began to explain:

"It's an iron object with two small openings on the side that you can open inside."

It has a groove inside for holding coal, and is covered with two layers of cotton cloth on the outside.

Now it's ready to use.

If you want to hang it around your neck, you can add a neck strap to secure it. If you don't want to, you can just hold it in your arms, which is also fine.

This type of stove can provide continuous heating for a long time without the need for frequent coal replenishment, thus reducing a lot of trouble.

However, the ones we make ourselves aren't as exquisite as the ones you see on TV.

After Ye Jingmo said that, Jiang Li was starting to look forward to seeing what the heater he was going to make would look like.

"Then once you make it, Brother Mo, I'll definitely use it every day."

Jiang Li said happily.

Although there was firewood in the villa for heating the fireplace, the temperature inside was not as hot as it would be in the middle of summer.

After all, we need to be careful with the firewood at home.

Jiang Li's hands and feet are always cold in this kind of weather, which is why she always likes to hold a hot water bottle.

Otherwise, her hands and feet would be cold all day long, and her whole body would never warm up.

However, hot water bottles need to be filled with hot water every half hour, otherwise they won't get hot.

If we had a heater, we wouldn't have to go through all that trouble of constantly filling hot water bottles.

"I'll start preparing it for you after dinner. What would you like to eat tonight?"

Ye Jingmo couldn't help but shake his head when he saw that La was acting like a little kid, grinning foolishly when talking about gifts.

Jiang Li blinked and thought for a moment before immediately blurting out the answer in her mind.

"Brother Mo, I want to eat braised chicken with pork tripe."

After hearing this, Ye Jingmo nodded and went to the kitchen to boil a pot of water.

Jiang Li took out a plump hen from her spatial storage and then took out the wild boar stomach from the refrigerator.

She put the pig stomach in a basin to thaw, and to speed up the thawing process, she added some salt.

Ye Jingmo used boiling water to wash and clean the hen, then chopped it into small pieces with a knife.

Jiang Li found some peppercorns, crushed them with a mortar and pestle, and a strong, pungent odor wafted out, making her sneeze.

Ye Jingmo put the chicken pieces into the pot, along with matsutake mushrooms, goji berries, red dates, and other ingredients, and simmered them together.

Jiang Li cut the thawed pig stomach into long strips, threw them into the pot along with crushed peppercorns, and then returned to the living room with Ye Jingmo.

Stewing requires time to settle; you don't need to pay constant attention to it, just like you can't rush eating hot tofu.

"Brother Mo, how about we invite Qin Yue and Qin Yu over for a meal sometime?"

Jiang Li leaned on Ye Jingmo's shoulder, thinking that several months had passed since the last dinner party.

They and the Qin family were neighbors and friends, so they should keep in touch from time to time.

Ye Jingmo stroked Jiang Li's black hair. He had the same idea, but he was troubled about what to use for the banquet.

"How about I take a duck out of my space and say I caught it on the mountain?"

Jiang Li pondered for a moment before uttering this answer.

After all, the source of meat from large animals like pigs, cattle, and sheep is not easy to explain clearly.

"You can add the cured pork you made earlier to make more dishes and taste different flavors."

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo reached a consensus on this issue.

After the chicken soup was cooked, Ye Jingmo took the pot out and placed it on the induction cooker on the dining table.

Jiang Li scooped out a large bowl of chicken and pork belly to cool. Ye Jingmo added some salt and MSG, tasted it, and then added more if he felt it wasn't enough.

Pudding and Jelly sat obediently in front of their food bowls, waiting for Jiang Li to feed them.

Jiang Li used a knife and fork to remove the bones from the chicken.

Because chicken bones are small and hard after cooking, they can easily get stuck in the intestines of cats and dogs if they accidentally eat them, and in severe cases, they can even cause perforation or rupture.

Jiang Li paid close attention to this aspect.

Jiang Li divided a large bowl of chicken soup into two portions, one large and one small, and added cat food, dog food, and some pet health products to each portion. She then served the soup to Pudding and Jelly.

They immediately began to eat with great relish.

Ye Jingmo scooped two bowls and placed them on the table, with wisps of hot steam rising from them.

Jiang Li picked up the bowl and gently blew on the soup, sipping the chicken soup in small sips.

The slightly milky white chicken soup has a rich and mellow flavor with a hint of peppery spiciness, and it feels refreshing all over as soon as you swallow it.

A sip of it can dispel the surrounding chill, making it especially suitable for the current extremely cold weather.
