    Xu Jianian wanted to learn how to kill chickens, so he asked Lin He to teach him.

    In order to prevent the blood from splashing in the house, Lin He helped him catch the chicken and took it under the eaves outside the door, and spread a waterproof cloth on the ground.

    He pressed the chicken's neck and taught Xu Jianian: "Cut a knife here and drain the blood first, otherwise the bloody meat will be very fishy."

    Xu Jianian stretched out the knife, paused suddenly, and asked Lin He, "Is chicken blood delicious?"

    Checkmate Chicken: ???

    Barrage: "Hahahahaha"

    "Chicken: I beg you to have a good time!"

    "You guys are so cruel, why are you discussing how to eat it in front of the chicken/dog head"

    Lin He thought for a while: "I haven't eaten."

    "I don't seem to have eaten it." Xu Jianian became interested, "Is it similar to duck blood? Do you want to save a bowl and eat it later?"

    He doesn't eat animal offal, and he eats relatively little blood products. He has only tasted duck blood boiled in hot pot.

    Hearing what he said, Lin He turned around and brought a small wooden bowl.These days they have peeled several wooden bowls out, and there are two specially for raw meat.

    He put the small wooden bowl under the chicken's neck, "Cut carefully, don't splash yourself."

    "Okay." Xu Jianian gave the chicken a good time with a knife, and said "Sorry" in a low voice.

    Lin He pressed hard on the twitching chicken, letting the warm chicken blood flow into the bowl.

    Xu Jianian squatted on the side and asked, "Just let it solidify by itself?"

    Lin He was also not sure: "Should I add some salt water?"

    "Then add a little." Xu Jianian went into the room to get some salt water, and poured it into the chicken blood bowl.

    The bowl was soon full, and Lin He put the remaining blood in the snow and covered it with snow.

    Xu Jianian brought the bowl of chicken blood into the house, and came out with two small pots of boiling water, "Just pour water on it to scald the chicken feathers?"

    Originally, it would be better to use a bucket, fill it with hot water, put the killed chicken in and scald it, it would be easier to pluck the hair.But they only have one bucket of drinking water now and it's not advisable to get it dirty.

    Xu Jianian: "The water we used before will freeze if we spill it. If this water is poured on it, will the chicken freeze immediately?"

    Barrage: "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha chicken jelly!"

    Lin He thought for a while, wrapped the chicken with a tarpaulin, and said, "Go into the house first."

    Stay outside for a while longer and the chickens will literally freeze.

    Xu Jianian put the two pots of water back on the stove, and saw that Lin He picked up some firewood and tied them up one by one with a rope, like a fence, forming a cylinder and standing on the ground.

    "You want to make wooden barrels?" Xu Jianian asked in surprise.

    But this is too crude, it can't hold water at all.

    But Lin He spread out the tarp with the chicken in it, and put the chicken in it.

    Xu Jianian suddenly realized: "It's the same principle as Yuchi, right?"

    "Yeah." Lin He nodded, grabbed the chicken's feet and lifted it upside down, "Pour hot water in."

    Xu Jianian picked up the small pot on the stove and poured hot water on the chicken.

    The fishy smell of scalding chicken feathers in hot water soon emerged, and the water flowed to the bottom of the tarpaulin, giving off a slight plastic smell, but it was still covered by the fishy smell.

    The tools are limited, and there is no way to be too particular.

    Xu Jianian wrinkled his nose, took two small pots of water and continued to boil.Then he squatted on the ground and plucked chicken feathers with Lin He.

    Barrage: "Boss Lin is really smart! I'm convinced!"

    "So where is Mr. Lin's limit? Why can he think of so many ways?"

    "Give Boss Lin a little more time, I think he can really make wooden barrels."

    Sui Sui put on his coat and ran down from the kang, looking around them curiously.

    Xu Jianian asked him: "Do you want to pull out one?"

    Sui Sui nodded, stretched out his hand and pulled a chicken feather off, his eyes lit up immediately.

    Xu Jianian laughed, "You can just pull out two roots, don't get your hands dirty, it's fishy."

    Sui Sui immediately sniffed his fingers and frowned: "A little bit."

    Seeing this, Xu Jianian asked him with a smile: "Then do you still want to play?"

    Sui Sui blinked and smiled, "I want to play."

    "Then you come here." Xu Jianian made room for him.

    Lin He also raised the corners of his lips, and handed him a chicken wing, "Pull it here."

    Sui Sui moved over happily: "Yes."

    They all hope that Sui Sui can express their ideas more, and it doesn't matter if they are willful occasionally.What's more, they are willing to support this kind of thing of playing and participating in family labor.

    Barrage: "Mr. Sui, can plucking chicken feathers make you so happy?"

    "It's mainly because I stayed on the kang for a whole morning, and the child can't be idle."

    "Fang Siyu next door has already held a concert on Kang."

    "Xuanyu is doing yoga with her mother."

    "It's better with Qin Xiaoyu. The RV has electricity and can play games on mobile phones."

    "I'm sorry, I just came over there, Xiaoyu is taking online classes, and I'm competing with the Go teacher."

    "Hahahahaha! Is this the difference in the world?"

    After Xu Jianian's family of three finished plucking the chicken's feathers, Xu Jianian opened the chicken's belly with the surgeon.

    Because he doesn't eat offal, when Lin He slaughtered chickens on the island before, he just didn't want offal, and used it for fishing.

    Xu Jianian said, "Why don't you stay and let me have a taste? After all, we have limited food and the weather is bad. It is said that the fat and calories in internal organs are quite high."

    Lin He didn't want to wrong him, so he said: "Keep the chicken heart and liver, I will eat."

    "No need for chicken intestines and gizzards." There are food residues and feces in it.

    Lin He said: "We don't have much water right now, so it's not easy to clean it up. I'll wrap it with a tarp later, bury it in the snow outside the house, and use it for fishing in two days."

    Or hang a little on the net when getting off the net to attract fish schools.

    Xu Jianian nodded, and cleaned up the chicken as he said.

    When the bucket of drinking water was used up, Lin He went to fetch another bucket of water at noon when the snow was a little lighter.

    Xu Jianian cut the chicken into small pieces and stewed it in chicken soup. The chicken wings, chicken legs, chicken hearts and chicken livers were marinated with seasonings and eaten roasted.

    The chicken blood in the wooden bowl has condensed into blood tofu, which is cut into thin slices like fish, beef, pork belly, radish, yam and other ingredients. Lettuce and Chinese cabbage are also washed, and then dipped in a bowl with onion, ginger, garlic and homemade seasoningSauce, the family gathers around the stove to cook hot pot and eat barbecue.

    Xu Jianian took a small bite of the grilled chicken liver and frowned, "It's okay, but I'm still not used to it."

    Lin He stretched out his hand: "Give it to me."

    Sui Sui looked at it curiously, and Lin He gave him a sip as well, and got the same frown expression of Sui Sui and Xu Jianian.

    In fact, Lin He doesn't like to eat these too much, but the liver and heart of a chicken are only so small. After roasting, the flavor of the seasoning is stronger than the original flavor, and it can be solved in one bite.

    The taste of the chicken blood was not bad, Xu Jianian boasted to the camera, saying that they were very successful in cooking chicken blood for the first time.

    Barrage: "My wife is awesome~ (exaggerated)"

    "I don't eat offal like my wife. Rounding off, my wife and I are a good match."

    "One thing to say, I think chicken is better than duck, but duck offal is better than chicken offal."

    "That's right! Duck intestines, liver, gizzards, and duck heart, roasted and marinated are all YYDS!"

    "Ah, ah, help! I have already eaten, but I can still smell the aroma through the screen."

    "Snow gourmet show is a real hit!"

    "I'm also eating hot pot, rounding up means that I also belong to this family (kimbo)"

    After eating this big meal, the family of three returned to the kang and sat cross-legged to digest food.

    Xu Jianian suggested: "Let's play a game."

    Lin He and Suisui looked at him, "What are you playing?"

    Xu Jianian didn't have many gameplays stored in his mind, and after screening the ones suitable for playing with Suisui, there seemed to be nothing left - mainly because of the lack of game props.

    So he asked the program team for help, "Can you provide us with some game props?"

    After a while, the program director came over and brought his offer, "We have Go, Chess, Military Chess, Flying Chess, and Monopoly suits, Werewolf killing cards and poker. A fish at a discounted price.What do you want?"

    Xu Jianian: "You also charge for this?"

    The director smiled and said, "Of course there is a charge for entertainment."

    Barrage: "Hahahahaha"

    "I said why the director ran over in the snow, so it was to make money."

    "Boss Sui! Come and pull out this iron cock!"

    Considering the playability and difficulty, Xu Jianian chose to be a millionaire.

    A family of three bought land and built a city on the kang, and started a big business.

    The last time they picked up firewood, Xu Jianian and Sui Sui picked up a few big pine cones.I had nothing to do in the afternoon and knocked on it, got a small handful of pine nuts, fried them in a small pot, and peeled them on the kang for snacks.

    The snow fell intermittently until the next day. Apart from collecting nets and fetching water, the guests hardly went out. They truly experienced the comfortable life of cat winter at home.

    The next afternoon, the snow stopped for a while.Aunt Liu suddenly came to Xu Jianian's house and brought him five catties of handmade noodles, a basket of strawberries and a bag of frozen persimmons.

    "It's been snowing for the past two days, and I haven't seen any of you going out. My aunt will bring you some food."

    Xu Jianian quickly declined, "Auntie, we can't do this, it's too much trouble for you."

    Aunt Liu insisted: "Why can't you take it? If you have something to eat, you can exchange it with me; if you don't, even if I give you credit, it will be fine if you catch the fish later and return it to me?"

    They did not get much harvest from the nets this morning, and each family only got two small fish. Fortunately, there was a big gift bag of ingredients rewarded two days ago, so that they would not be hungry.

    I'm just worried that the snow will fall for another two days, the task of building the igloo will not be completed, and there will be insufficient food and firewood.

    Xu Jianian and Lin He exchanged glances, and exchanged the fish at home for noodles with Aunt Liu. Strawberries and frozen persimmons were not something they could spend extravagantly now, so they declined Aunt Liu politely.

    Aunt Liu also knew that the program group has its own rules, so she said, "Well, I'll take back the strawberries, and you keep the frozen persimmons. They're not expensive."

    Xu Jianian wondered: "Thank you, Auntie, but... we are a bit uncomfortable with this kind of... You will waste it for us."

    "What's the matter? The frozen pears from last time are not delicious?" Aunt Liu said in surprise, "I can't, put them in cold water and melt them, they taste sweet!"

    "Ah?" Xu Jianian was stunned, and he exchanged a glance with Lin He, "We put it on the edge of the stove to roast."

    "Hey!" Aunt Liu patted her thigh, "It's my fault, I didn't tell you how to eat."

    Barrage: "Hahahaha, someone said it in the barrage last time, but unfortunately my wife can't see it."

    "Personally, frozen persimmons taste better than frozen pears."

    "Honey, try it!"

    "Listen to Auntie, let's soak in cold water this time. If your teeth are healthy, soak for a while less, and if you like soft ones, soak for a while." Aunt Liu stuffed the bag of frozen persimmons into his hand, "Here, just twoPersimmons are worthless."

    Xu Jianian couldn't refuse, so he could only thank him again and again: "Thank you, Auntie, we will send another fish to your house in two days."

    Sui Sui also politely said, "Thank you grandma."

    "You're welcome." Aunt Liu smiled and patted his head, "Then Aunt has gone back, you go to Aunt's house to have a meal before you leave."

    Xu Jianian was too embarrassed to answer, and said to Lin He: "You see it off, the ground outside is slippery, don't let Aunt Liu fall."

    "Yeah." Lin He put his down jacket and hat on his head, and went out to send Aunt Liu home.

    After dinner in the evening, Xu Jianian took out three frozen persimmons soaked in water and distributed them to Lin He and Suisui.

    A thin layer of ice formed on the surface of the persimmons, which melted as soon as they were rubbed.The skin of the persimmon is so soft that it can be torn apart gently, and the flesh inside is orange-yellow and tender, with a tangy aroma.

    Xu Jianian took a bite, the taste was soft, and the sweet persimmon flavor exploded in his mouth, which made his eyes brighten: "Mmm! It's delicious!"

    Seeing this, Sui Sui tore off the skin of the persimmon and took a bite. He was shivering from the cold, then widened his eyes in surprise and pursed his mouth, "It's so sweet!"

    The two looked at Lin He at the same time, and Lin He nodded after tasting it: "Well, it seems that the way we ate it last time was indeed wrong."

    A family of three sat on the edge of the Kang, sucking and gnawing persimmons.

    The persimmon in Suisui's hand was too soft to hold, so Xu Jianian brought him a wooden bowl and wooden spoon, and asked him to dig into the bowl and eat.

    Barrage: "Think about their expressions when they ate frozen pears last time, and look at the present again."

    "It smells so good!"

    After the family of three finished eating, their lips and hands were covered with persimmon juice.Suisui and Xu Jianian licked the corners of their lips at the same time, still wanting more.

    Lin He came over with a tissue, caught a glimpse of Xu Jianian's small movement of the tip of his tongue brushing the corner of his lips, his eyes darkened slightly, his Adam's apple rolled, and he silently looked away.

    Sleeping in the fire pit for a week is really too hot.

    When sleeping at night, this kind of "fire" grows on the hot kang again, magnifying infinitely in the dark.

    Lin He restrained himself, trying to suppress the heat.But when you close your eyes, some "hot" pictures from the past will appear in your mind one by one.

    His breathing became more and more heavy, but he still tried his best to control it, not wanting to wake up Sui Sui and Xu Jianian who were sleeping next to him.

    As the night was getting dark, Lin He noticed that the two people beside him were fast asleep, so he got up secretly and changed positions, lay down next to Xu Jianian, and hugged him into his arms.

    Even if can't do anything, still want to hug him.

    At three or four o'clock in the morning, there was still light snow outside.Lin He got up to add firewood, Xu Jianian was in a daze, and heard some movement.

    When Lin He returned to the kang, Xu Jianian turned over and nestled into his arms, and asked in a low voice in the dark, "Have you gone to add firewood?"

    "Woke you up?" Lin He was slightly surprised, and pulled him into his arms.

    Xu Jianian shook his head and said, "I'm thirsty."

    Lin He took the thermos cup from the Kang head and poured him a glass of water.

    After the two of them drank the water and lay down again, Lin He rubbed his head against his neck and whispered, "Go to sleep."

    Xu Jianian closed his eyes and asked lazily, "Why did you come here to sleep?"

    Lin He was silent for a while, hugged him tighter, kissed his neck, and whispered, "I miss you."

    Xu Jianian naturally knew what kind of "thinking" he was talking about, his neck was itchy by his hair, and when he opened his eyes, the sleepiness completely disappeared.

    He turned his head to look at the sleeping Sui Sui, held Lin He's hand that got into his clothes, and whispered, "Don't—"

    Lin He stopped and kissed his ear, "I won't make trouble with you, just hug for a while."

    Xu Jianian smiled and kissed the corner of his lips, and said in a low voice, "Be patient."

    Lin He responded sullenly, sounding a little bit aggrieved.

    Xu Jianian raised his hand, stroking his head to comfort him.

    "Is it still snowing outside?"

    Lin He said, "Yes, but I saw the moon come out."

    Xu Jianian was slightly surprised: "Can you see the moon even when it's snowing?"

    Lin He: "Well, do you want to see it?"

    Xu Jianian had never seen it before, so he put on a down jacket and got up happily, and went to the window with Lin He to watch the moon.

    "It really is." He said in surprise.

    The moonlight is cold and white, and there are sparse snowflakes floating in the sky. The snow in the yard is thick and white, and the moonlight shines on the snow, which is bone-chillingly cold, purely white, and beautiful.

    "So beautiful." Xu Jia murmured in a young voice.

    "Yeah." Lin He hugged him and kissed him by the window for a long time.

    When they parted, Xu Jianian panted slightly, and covered his lips with a cool hand, "I can't kiss any more."

    Kissing again will not end well.

    Lin He kissed his palm, caught his hand inside his down jacket, stuck it to his back to keep warm, and said softly, "The snow has stopped."

    Xu Jianian turned his head and looked out the window, but the swaying snowflakes were indeed gone, so he curled up his lips and said, "It should be sunny tomorrow."

    Lin He kissed his ear: "Yes."

    Xu Jianian shivered with itchiness, and deliberately said: "It's so cold, let's go back to sleep."

    Lin He held his face in his arms to warm him up, and finally bit his lips lightly, taking him back to the kang, and fell asleep in their embrace.
