Chapter 140 Chinese New Year tushumi.cc

Yunxi started to drift off into thought again as she watched Li Xingtang eat.

I have no idea what he's thinking; he's even neglecting to eat.

"Li Xingtang, what are you thinking about? Hurry up and eat, or you won't want to go back later, will you?"

Li Xingtang then came to her senses and blushed instantly when she thought of the scene she had just imagined.

"Eat, eat now, eat right now! Yunxi's cooking skills are getting better and better. I feel like the food tastes better now than before. It seems that Yunxi has a real talent for this!"

He didn't even know what he said. After he finished speaking, he frantically rummaged through the food in his bowl, revealing a pair of bright red ears.

Yunxi glanced at it, a slight smile appearing on her face, but she quickly suppressed that smile and continued eating her food.

After finishing the meal, before Yunxi could even clean up the dishes, Li Xingtang quietly put them away. It was quite nice not having to clean up the dishes herself.

Having just eaten too much, Yunxi took out some dried hawthorn slices from her space, brewed a large pot of hawthorn water, poured a bowl for herself, and then poured a bowl for Li Xingtang.

After Li Xingtang finished tidying up, quickly make him drink a bowl of water.

Looking at the full bowl of hawthorn water, Li Xingtang didn't really want to drink it. He felt that he had just eaten so much and so well, and if he drank the hawthorn water, it would be digested very quickly, which would be a waste.

But then she remembered that Yunxi had poured it for her, and she couldn't bear not to drink it, so she could only gulp it all down with that conflicted feeling.

After Yunxi finished her bowl, she didn't feel full at all, and she could still drink a little more to fill the gaps.

After resting for a while, Li Xingtang prepared to go back. Yunxi didn't stop him; it would be safer to go back sooner.

When he leaves, let him carry the basket back with him.

When Li Xingtang saw so much meat in the basket, he was unwilling to carry it all back. If he took it all back, what would Yunxi eat?

"I hope you'll keep all of this. My family is well-off and we don't lack meat. I'll leave some for you to eat more of."

If we don't lack meat to eat, can we have more of our own meat?

Yunxi, for her part, didn't believe it. She pretended to be angry, her face instantly darkening. "Are you going to bring it up or not?"

When Li Xingtang saw that Yunxi was angry, he would not refuse her anymore, but he was worried that Yunxi would ignore him next time.

"Titi, Yunxi, please don't be angry. I will never argue with you again. I will listen to you from now on."

Yunxi was only fearless because she was loved, but as long as she achieved her goal, she didn't care what method she used.

"Okay, then I won't be angry anymore. Hurry up and carry it back, it won't be safe any later."

"Okay, I'll head back right now. It's almost 1 a.m., but I'll try my best to get home by 3 p.m. Yunxi, Happy New Year! I'll be going now."

"Li Xingtang, you too, Happy New Year!!"

Yunxi escorted him directly to the courtyard gate. Seeing him turn back every step of the way, she found it quite adorable, but also very touching. It seemed he truly cared about her.

Only after he was out of sight did Yunxi enter the courtyard, lock the door, and prepare to go back inside.

As I walked through the yard, I saw that the water in the basins and jars had frozen solid. I suddenly remembered that Li Xingtang must have seen it too, but he didn't ask about it. He seems to be quite sensible.

I put the ice from the freezing stone into the space, then refilled it with well water to keep it frozen. My hands were about to freeze, so I quickly ran back into the house.

Halfway there, she suddenly remembered something: in the empty room next door, there were more than a dozen buckets of various furs soaking in the water. It seemed that she had forgotten about them and hadn't thought of cleaning them.

I rushed to the house next door, and an unpleasant smell immediately hit me. I quickly put it into my spatial storage and will release it again after I leave the yard.

There was no stove in the storage room, so the buckets were all frozen solid. They had been inside for several days, so the room smelled terrible.

I finally felt much better after getting outside.

Seeing that the contents of the bucket were frozen solid, Yunxi realized that it wouldn't be easy to get them out, so she simply separated them within her spatial dimension.

I filled a bucket with some hot water and some cold water to make warm water, then vigorously rubbed and cleaned it in the space.

It's much faster than washing by hand, and you can even control the moisture separation within the space.

Yunxi simply lay down on the kang (heated brick bed), nestled in the warm quilt, closed her eyes, and began to carefully work on the leather pieces, bit by bit.

More than two hours later, Yunxi opened her eyes, and a piece of smooth, shiny fur instantly appeared in her hand.

It felt like it had just been skinned from an animal, but it was even softer to the touch. I rubbed it against my face and it didn't feel cut at all.

You know, Yunxi's face is exceptionally smooth and delicate, so you can imagine how well the fur was made.

Yunxi quickly found something to pass the time. She decided that when she was bored, she would knead the pile of fur in her space, which was like a small mountain, and make various fur clothes, hats, capes, scarves and the like for herself.

Especially the rabbit fur, some of which is pure white; just imagining it makes you think how beautiful the clothes made from it would be.

However, there were simply too many. Yunxi felt she should find a place to sell some of the furs to increase her income. Besides, she couldn't possibly use them all, and keeping them in her space was a waste.

There's also the mountain of various kinds of meat in the space, and that giant snake that's over ten meters long—they still haven't skinned it. The snake meat could probably be sold, but if Yunxi were to eat it herself, just thinking about its original appearance would instantly kill her desire to eat it.

However, Yunxi was still very interested in the giant snake's skin, so she took this opportunity to disassemble it and see what she could do with it.

They cut off the giant snake's head and began slowly peeling its skin from the severed point all the way down to its tail.

With a diameter of 50 centimeters, you can imagine how big the snakeskin was.

After cleaning it, Yunxi took it out and touched it in her hand. To her surprise, it was icy cold. She thought back to when she first tried to cut it with a cleaver, she couldn't cut it at all and didn't even leave a mark.

She felt that she could cut the giant snake's skin into a close-fitting garment. Although she didn't think she would need it, it would still provide an extra layer of security for someone like her who frequently went up the mountain.

Yunxi originally wanted to start making fur clothes or snakeskin clothes for close-fitting wear right away, but considering that the New Year is tomorrow, she decided to wait until after the New Year to start making them!

The next morning, while Yunxi was still sleeping in bed, she heard the sound of firecrackers outside.

Thinking that some children would come over to wish me a Happy New Year soon, I realized that if I continued to sleep, they would block my bed, which would be inappropriate.

Get out of bed quickly, put on thick clothes, a hat and scarf, wash up, and then open the door.

There should be a lot of people coming today, so we'll take all the basins with ice blocks frozen outside and prepare to continue in a couple of days.

I added a little more firewood to the stove, and seeing that the pot of water was boiling again, I first poured it into two kettles, then stored the rest in my spatial storage, and then poured cold water into the pot.

Then I took out all the fried fruits I had made during this time and put them on a plate. One plate was too small, and Yunxi had made too many, so I simply took several plates and put them directly on the living room table so that guests could help themselves when they came.

Stir-fried mountain produce, fried fruits, and various candies, peanuts, melon seeds, and other similar items.

Once everything was laid out, the table suddenly felt completely full.

I was shocked when I saw how much food I had made; it would last me a long time.
