Chapter 453 The First Snow
This afternoon, around four o'clock, the weather was extremely dark, there was no wind, and the sky was gloomy, as if it would fall to the ground at any moment.
"Shulashala..."
A slight sound resounded on the roof. Qian Linjue was standing under the eaves when she saw something like sand falling on the ground.
They were bead-like ice particles. The bead, or the ice bead, was not that big, with a diameter of only a few tenths of a centimeter. They fell from the sky, bounced off the ground, and rolled to the side.
At the beginning, only a little bit of ice beads fell, and then more and more, making a sound of "rustling, rustling...!".
At the same time, the ground was also covered with a thick layer of ice beads. Qian Linjue had no doubt that if she stepped on it, she would definitely roll and fall if she was not careful.
And just as he was thinking about this, there was a whirring sound from the sky, as if there was a little wind.
The number of falling ice beads decreased, and the rustling sound also became smaller. Instead, pieces of snow-white objects that looked like goose feathers and cotton wool floated down from the sky.
snowflake!
In the beginning, the amount of snowflakes falling was not large, and they were mixed with the falling ice beads. Occasionally, they were hit by ice beads in mid-air, and the falling speed would become faster.
But as time went by, more and more snowflakes fell, and fewer and fewer ice beads fell...
Finally, the snow is falling!
A large number of snowflakes fell from the sky and began to dye the ground white, trying to cover the ground with a thick cotton quilt.
However, it has just started to snow now, and it will take some time to cover the snow-white cotton quilt.
"crunch..."
The door behind Qian Linjue opened, and Ling Lu with a dull hair on her head came out of the room.
Seeing the snow-white snowflakes falling from the sky, Ling Lu immediately became excited.
"Wow! It's snowing!"
Her hometown is in the south, and she has never seen snow, and this is the first time.
She happily rushed to the yard, gathered a bunch of snowflakes in both hands, and threw them into the sky.
The snowflakes scattered again, just like the cheers from the sky to Linglu.
Linglu happily tossed it several times, then ran to the eaves, came to Qian Linjue, and threw herself into his arms.
She buried her head in Qian Linjue's arms, warmed up a bit, then raised her head, looking at Qian Linjue expectantly.
"Hey, Linjue, can you help me make a snowman?"
It was Linglu's first time seeing snow, and she couldn't stop being excited, and she had never made a snowman before.
Qian Linjue gently and pamperingly scratched her little nose.
"There is too little snow now. After tonight, it will be piled up tomorrow."
With that said, Qian Linjue turned around, "Come on, it's cold outside now, go inside first, and we'll have dinner later."
"Ok!"
Linglu nodded happily, and entered the room with Qian Linjue.
The two read a book in the room for a while, and chatted a few more words. After a while, it was time for dinner.
The exclusive maid Qian Fei'er from Xuelin Palace came to Qian Linjue's room and knocked on the door politely and respectfully three times.
"Tuk Tuk Tuk."
"Who?"
Qian Linjue looked up and asked.
"Young Master Qian, the empress is calling you to have dinner." A maid's sweet voice came from outside the door.
"Okay, Master Ben knows, you tell her, Master Ben will be here soon."
Qian Linjue replied in a haughty tone.
"Yes." The maid replied respectfully, and then fell silent.
Inside the room, Qian Linjue gave Ling Lu a tender look, and wrapped her arms around her flexible waist with her right hand.
"Let's go to dinner."
"Well! Remember to help me make a snowman tomorrow!"
Ling Lu looked at Qian Linjue with burning eyes.
The little guy, who has been thinking about the snowman, is so cute.
Qian Linjue smiled softly, and responded dotingly, "Okay, I will listen to you, and promise you whatever you say."
After finishing speaking, he stood up with Linglu, walked to the door together, and walked out of the room.
Out of the courtyard, the two walked out of the small courtyard, turned a corner, walked for a while, and entered Xuelin Palace.
The two peach trees in the courtyard of Xuelin Palace have completely lost their leaves, leaving only dry branches, waiting for the next spring to germinate and grow leaves.
Of course, now they still have to put on snow-white quilts and spend the winter under the snowflakes.
The door of Xuelin Palace is still tightly closed. It is cold now, and it will be very cold to open the door to let the air-conditioning in, and the food inside will also get cold quickly.
Qian Linjue and Ling Lu walked quickly through the small courtyard, went up to the steps, and opened the door directly to enter.
Inside the door, everyone was already seated.
However, compared to the previous few days, everyone sat a little lower, instead of sitting on chairs, they sat on quilts.
On top of the quilt, there are pairs of legs wearing thick fleece pants. On top of the legs, there is another thick quilt, and above that is the table.
Seeing this, Qian Linjue was a little surprised.
"Kotatsu?"
Kotatsu, a unique thing in the north of Blue Star, is used for indoor heating just like the kotatsu.
It's just that there is no kotatsu in the current Douluo Continent. This is another invention of Qian Fei'er. The power required is the round cake that absorbs the power of the Thunder Dragon from the previous Elite Competition of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy in Wuhun City. provided by the Soul Guidance Device.
On the side of the kotatsu, Hua Ning was sitting close to the door. Qian Linjue opened the door before closing it, the cold wind blowing made her want to shrink back.
She turned her head quickly and looked at Qian Linjue.
"Linjue, can you close the door for me? It's very cold."
When Qian Linjue heard it, her eyes were condescending, and she looked down at Hua Ning.
"Hahahahahaha, want me to close the door for you? How brave! I don't want to, I can open it if I want to, and close it if I want to!"
While talking, Qian Linjue went straight into the front hall and closed the door behind her back.
After closing it, he specially took out a little cotton thread from his soul tool bracelet, plugged the gap in the door, and made sure that there was no wind to blow in, so he let it go.
Beside the kotatsu, Hua Ning smiled sweetly.
"Thank you, Lin Jue."
Qian Linjue crossed her arms and snorted proudly.
"Hmph, you can just thank this young master to your heart's content. Although this is an unintentional act of this young master, you must feel honored."
After speaking, Qian Linjue took Linglu to find two empty seats and sat down.
It was the first time for Linglu to sit on the kotatsu, she stretched her legs into the kotatsu, she felt hot inside, and she wanted to get in.
"Ah, it's so warm~"
After she said something, she lay comfortably on the table and put her hands in together.
Not far away, Qian Fei'er was also sitting in the kotatsu, seeing Ling Lu's comfortable appearance, she smiled gently.
"Warm? It's all about it this winter."
While talking, Qian Fei'er stretched out her hand and patted it, then turned around and shouted into the room: "Maid? Serve the food!"
"Yes."
The maid responded respectfully, then walked out from the room, and brought out warm meals that had been prepared in advance.
The dishes are basically the same as last time, all kinds of sausages, bacon, salted duck, lettuce, two big pots of soup, and some other meats, etc.
In fact, during this period of time, Qian Linjue and the others ate all kinds of cured meat every day.Qian Feier marinated and dried a lot. The sausage alone was close to 100 catties, including more than [-] catties of bacon and a large amount of salted duck.
If it weren't for the large number of people, Qian Linjue reckoned that she, Qian Fei'er and other seven angel Wuhun owners would have to eat until the Dragon Boat Festival in the second year.
Thinking of the Dragon Boat Festival, Qian Linjue felt strange again. There is no Qu Yuan in the Douluo Continent, so how could there be such a strange festival as the Dragon Boat Festival?
He couldn't figure it out.
On the other side, the maid has already served all the dishes and steamed rice, and put a pair of bowls and chopsticks for each person.
Qian Linjue picked up the bowl. Originally, Qian Fei'er was going to fill him with a bowl of soup, but Qian Linjue didn't want soup, but directly filled a bowl of rice.
The rice was steaming hot with some deep, dark blue lumps on it.
dirt?
Qian Linjue frowned, turned her head angrily and shouted inside: "Maid? Maid?"
The maid trotted out from the room in a panic, bowing her head respectfully but with some fear.
"Master, are you looking for me?"
Qian Linjue pointed at the dark blue lump in the bowl with her chopsticks, "What is this? How dare you give me such a dirty thing? Do you want to die?"
At the end, Qian Linjue even patted the table, causing the whole kotatsu table to shake slightly, and the thick soup in the two large pots swayed from side to side, back and forth.
The maid hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
"Master, spare your life, Master, spare your life, this is..."
Before she finished speaking, Qian Fei'er hurriedly spoke.
"Lin Jue, I ordered the kitchen to add this. It's sweet taro, edible, not something dirty."
"Oh? Taro?"
Qian Linjue frowned, took the bowl to her nose and sniffed it carefully.
The dark blue lump exudes a strong aroma, with the special taste of taro, it is undoubtedly taro.
It turned out to be true, but I blamed her wrongly.
Thinking to herself, Qian Linjue turned around and waved her hands proudly.
"Okay, you go in, this young master made a mistake, it's none of your business."
"Thank you Young Master Qian, thank you Your Highness the Queen..."
The maid hurriedly thanked her, and said it several times in a row before she got up, stepped back respectfully, and retreated from the aisle to the inside.
After the maid left, Qian Linjue turned around and began to pick up vegetables for dinner.
Although today's dishes are roughly the same as those of the previous few days, they are somewhat different.
Among them is a plate of dried chili mixed with garlic, and a stewed strip that Qian Linjue didn't know. There are small round bubbles, the color is a bit similar, they are all light yellow.
Qian Linjue picked up her chopsticks curiously, put it in the bowl, and tried to take a bite.
Because the strips have been stewed, the inside is full of juice, with a strong garlic flavor, very soft, and will rot when chewed.
And the moment Qian Linjue chewed it, a strong smell of pork filled his mouth.
"what is this?"
Qian Linjue was very curious, and asked with a strip between her hands.
Qian Fei'er smiled and replied: "This is pork skin from bacon. I ordered the kitchen to separate the bacon from the pig skin and make it into a separate dish."
