Chapter 115: Snow covers three layers of quilts, and next year I will sleep on steamed buns
"Pah" a snowball hit Ji Shiyan directly, and Ji Shiyan didn't dodge, wouldn't that be boring?
"Watch me!" Ji Shiyan also threw a light snowball over.
"I dodged it, Lululu."
Su Mu threw another snowball, and the other brothers and the emperor also joined the fight. Anyway, no one knew whose snowball it was, and snowballs were flying all over the sky for a while.
006 also took advantage of the fact that there were so many snowballs and no one was paying attention to him, so he rolled himself into a ball and pretended that he was also a snowball. He mixed in with the others and flew towards the crowd, landing on one person and then hitting another. He was having a lot of fun.
He even made a small snowball and threw it at someone's face. The person would still wonder, who made such a small snowball? What could it possibly make?
Pata Sumu threw a snowball onto 006.
"Hahahahahaha I hit it!"
No one else took it seriously and thought Su Mu was talking about someone being hit. However, Ji Shiyan looked over there in confusion. He felt really strange today.
Moreover, the family members did not spoil the fun by saying anything like what to do if their clothes got wet. Instead, the Su family members heard the noise and came out to play snowball fight with them. In the end, even some guards were called over, and the snowballs flew in the air as densely as snow.
Everyone was tired from playing, so they went into the house to rest and drink a bowl of warm ginger tea, which was so comfortable.
"It's so cold and I'm sweating all over." Su Mu drank the bowl of ginger tea with brown sugar. It was a little sweet and not so spicy.
"Be careful. If you sweat, remember to change into dry clothes." Mother reminded.
"it is good."
"Today is the winter solstice." Su Dingguo took a sip of pure ginger tea, which was really spicy.
"Let's make dumplings later."
Some places eat yuanzi in winter, but they always eat dumplings here.
"If you don't eat dumplings during the winter solstice, no one will care if your ears freeze off."
A group of people made and cooked dumplings by themselves.
Su Mu found it funny to see Ji Shiyan making dumplings with his hands and even his face covered in flour.
How could this get directly on the face? But he made the dumplings in a very nice way.
The sauerkraut has been pickled, and the Su family also made some dumplings stuffed with sauerkraut.
One person was holding a big bowl of hot dumplings, and it started snowing outside the window.
"If the snow covers you three layers of quilt, you will sleep on steamed buns next year, and the wheat harvest next year will be good."
"Mumu, this is the Nine Eliminations Picture for you." Ji Shiyan came to Su Mu and handed him a painting.
On the Winter Solstice, people not only eat dumplings but also draw the Jiuxiaotuan (Nine-Nine-Nine) diagram. The diagram depicts a branch of white plum blossom with a total of eighty-one petals, which is the number of nine days. It is used to calculate the weather and the time when spring will come and flowers will bloom.
"Don't go out on the 19th and 29th days. Walk on the ice on the 39th and 49th days. Look at the willows along the river on the 59th and 69th days. The river thaws on the 79th day. Swallows come on the 89th day. The 99th plus the 19th day, oxen walk everywhere."
Su Mu opened the Jiuxiaotu map, on which was a painted plum blossom.
"Did you draw this yourself? It's so lifelike."
"Well, the petals are done. All we need to do is color them. I have the paint ready."
"So attentive?"
If you ask her to draw by herself, she definitely won't be able to do it. How can she remember to draw petals and color them every day and persist in doing so?
Su Mu wanted to hang the painting in a conspicuous place to remind her not to forget to color it.
"Don't you have anything to do recently?" She saw that Ji Shiyan seemed to be very free recently.
"The winter solstice officials and they are all on holiday."
“Is there a holiday during the winter solstice?”
"Yes."
This is a good place with empty walls, so the two of them hung the paintings on the wall together.
Winter is actually very long and there is no land to plant, so Sumu took out playing cards and let some elders play with them. They have become addicted to the game in the past few days.
Su Mu had to drive to the capital again to check on the shop, to see how it was doing and what new vegetables were available.
Jinzi has now changed into a furry coat, which looks very warm. Sumu put two quilts and a hot water bottle in the carriage, one for laying underneath and the other for wrapping directly on the body.
I finally realized my dream of going out wrapped in a blanket.
The wind was blowing on the road. I put on my Su Mu cloak and hood, wrapped myself in a quilt, and held a hot water bottle inside. It was so warm that I felt a little comfortable in the cold breeze.
The snow that had fallen on the road for several days had almost melted. The small paths were a little muddy, but the main roads were not. When we reached the capital, the road was even smoother, and the stone slabs on the main road were free of mud and water.
The shop was still very busy. Diners were buying things in cotton jackets. It felt much warmer inside the shop than outside.
Maybe it was because there were so many people and the heat from the braised food.
A special area in the shop was recently cleared out and several custom-made shelves were put up.
"Manager Su is here?" The diners saw Su Mu and greeted her. Anyway, they would call anyone from the Su family Manager Su when they met them.
"Are you out buying food in such a cold day?" Su Mu greeted.
"That's right! I miss this dish of yours even more when the weather gets cold." The diners also smiled.
Diners bring their own large pots to buy braised food. They buy enough at a time to last a family for two days, and they can heat it up themselves if it gets cold.
"Shopkeeper Su, what are you going to use those empty shelves for?"
They were all very curious, as the item had been placed here for two or three days but nothing had been seen.
"Are there any new foods?" The fat diner's eyes sparkled, as if his next sentence would be "Give me some!"
"It's time to introduce new products."
The diners were happy.
“But it’s not food.”
The diners were lost.
"But!" The diners became excited again, there is also a but.
Su Mu was amused by the reactions of the diners and stopped teasing them. "Prepare to put some new pickles and fresh vegetables on these shelves."
"Fresh vegetables? The shopkeeper is right, isn't he? Fresh vegetables, not dried vegetables?"
"Yes, fresh vegetables." Su Mu answered these people with a smile.
She plans to sell some new vegetables here first, so she can make some money in the winter. After seeing people's reactions, she plans to open a vegetable shop next year.
This can be treated as an experiment first.
"Really! That's great! I didn't expect that we could eat fresh vegetables this winter." The diners did not doubt Su Mu's words at all.
New diners are confused: Don’t these people have any doubts?
The old diner gave them some popular science about Sumu. What she said must be true. If she was not sure, she would not tell them directly.
"When will Shopkeeper Su deliver new vegetables?"
"Tomorrow, there will be new products tomorrow, remember to buy them!"
"Okay, Shopkeeper Su, don't worry. As long as they are fresh vegetables, we will definitely buy them all out for you!" Several diners laughed. They were still worried about whether they could still get them if it really happened.
After shopping, people went home to inform their relatives and friends that Sujia Shipu is about to have new fresh vegetables!
