Before the end, I owned an amazing caravan

Chapter 69 Chicken Soup
Zhao Xi thought it was feasible. Anyway, if two more people inquired about it, she would have more hope. If she inquired about it, she would not treat them badly.

So before the two brothers left, Zhao Xi told them about the inquiry.

"Ms. Zhao, we will pay close attention to it. If there is any news, we will inform you as soon as possible."

After the two brothers left, Zhao Xi started to reorganize the house.

The area of ​​the two-storey building is only [-] to [-] square meters, and the combined upstairs and downstairs are only [-] to [-] square meters, which is not a large area.

The first floor is the living room, kitchen, plus a bathroom, and there are three bedrooms on the second floor.

All kinds of furniture in this house are readily available, but there is no electricity, no water, and no heating. The only heating equipment is the wood-burning fireplace in the living room of the house.

For the past three days, Zhao Xi pushed the sofa in front of the fireplace, and slept in the living room with the children. The weather was getting colder and colder, and it was only warm to sleep when there was a fire.

Downstairs there is a fireplace and the temperature is acceptable, but upstairs is not good, the bedroom is as cold as ice, and it is impossible to live in.

The province M base is located in the mountains with many trees, but there is no shortage of firewood. Zhao Xi heard from the two brothers that there are coal seams under the ground near the base, and the military is responsible for the control and development.

It's just that the blizzard outside is getting bigger every day, and the temperature is also dropping every day. Whether it is chopping firewood or mining coal, it has become more and more difficult.

The price of firewood in the base is constantly rising. As for coal, it is already a luxury that can only be exchanged for materials.

There are dozens of tons of coal in Zhao Xi's space, but she has bought a lot from the firewood seller during the two days of visiting the base. There are neat piles of firewood piled up on one side of the living room, which is enough for two or three It's been used for months.

The bedrooms and rooms on the upper floor were all dusty, and the original owner had probably never used them. Of course, Zhao Xi didn’t plan to use them. After all, it’s not easy to keep warm, so she made the first floor warmer and more comfortable, so that she and her children could There is a space to move around and sleep.

The place around the fireplace is the warmest, and it is used as a place to sleep. Zhao Xi spread the plush carpet that was used on the rubber boat in front of the fireplace, and placed the original low tea table in the living room on the carpet, and the surrounding sofa positions remained unchanged. , forming a half circle around the tea table and fireplace.

Zhao Xi filled a few sticks of firewood into the middle of the fireplace, took out the toys and flashcards he had found at the bottom of the water and put them on the tea table for the children to play here, while he went to the kitchen by himself.

The kitchen has a cuboid stove made of red brick cement plate, and a long aluminum chimney on the stove.

In Zhao Xi's memory, this kind of stove was only seen when she was very young, when her grandparents took her to visit relatives in her hometown.

The furnace mouth is brand new without a trace of black ash from the fire. The original owner's family seems to have never used it, and Zhao Xi doesn't plan to use it.

It was almost noon, and after closing the kitchen door, Zhao Xi stepped into the space.

I have been busy in the past three days since I came to the base, and I haven't cooked a good meal for the children. I will cook a big meal at noon today to celebrate that they finally settled down.

Steam the rice in a rice cooker first, then stew in a casserole with a freshly slaughtered old hen just taken out of the planting space.The old hens in the planting space are pure natural and pollution-free. The stewed chicken soup only needs to add some ginger slices and salt to make it very delicious. Children like to drink it very much.

After simmering the chicken, Zhao Xi continued to prepare other dishes.Stir-fried broccoli, braised pork with potatoes, sweet and sour short ribs, and dry-stir-fried beans.

Da Mao and Lan Lan have been having a persistent fever, and their food intake these days has increased a lot compared to before. Zhao Xi's own food intake is not small, and she is not afraid of being unable to finish eating so much.

Speaking of Da Mao and Lan Lan's illness, the next day after Zhao Xi came to the base, he had the brothers call several doctors to see them, but nothing was found.

The doctors couldn't find out the cause, and they could only see it as a common child's fever. After selling Zhao Xi some "expensive" medicine for children's fever and cold, they all left.

However, after taking these medicines for three days, these medicines did not have any effect. Fortunately, although the two babies had a fever, they were alive and kicking, and there was no discomfort at all. Zhao Xi had no choice but to suppress his worries.

"Children, dinner is ready!"

Medicine supplements are not as good as food supplements. The food in the planting space is rich in nutrition and tastes more delicious than ordinary ingredients. It seems to have miraculous effects on the human body. Now that she has settled down, she will try her best to use the things in the planting space to make good food for the children every day. What you eat regulates your body.

At the same time, in another small two-story building.

"Auntie, I haven't eaten meat for a long time, this chicken soup smells too delicious~"

"Go, don't be greedy, this is for your mother's body, you have no share!"

Fang Le inhaled the fragrance in the air, nodded again and again:
"I know, I know, doesn't this smell too sweet~"

"Smelly boy, you have a good nose, hurry up and have dinner, now we can still have a meal of white rice, it would be great~" Fang Le's father looked at his son's greedy face, and tapped his son's head with chopsticks .

During meal time, Fang Le's mother was half lying on the sofa in front of the fireplace covered with a quilt, and the family ate around the coffee table.

"Cough~sister, I can't drink so much soup, let's share a bowl for each of you, you are running outside every day, especially the two children, you have to make up for it, don't be like me, if you get sick, you won't eat it. All right."

"How can this be done? It's specially boiled for you to nourish your body. We've already nourished ourselves with a meal of white rice. Come on, it's just out of the pot. Drink it!"

Qin Xun's mother filled a bowl of chicken soup and handed it to his sister, but the other party didn't pick it up for a long time. Fang Le's father who was at the side saw this, and knowing his wife's temper, he quickly persuaded:
"Sister, just listen to Xiaojuan, you don't know her temper yet, even if you let her eat it by herself, she won't be able to eat it."

My sister's temper, how can I not be clear about my sister: "Hey, forget it, let's share a bowl of soup each, you hurry up and drink it, the chicken is reserved for you, eat the chicken after drinking."

Seeing her sister let go, Fang Le's mother immediately took the bowl with a happy smile, and said: "Okay, thank you sister, but I can't finish eating one chicken, I'll give it to everyone..."

"If you can't finish eating, save it for the next meal, don't push me too hard~" This time Qin Xun's mother was not used to his own sister, and showed the majesty of being the boss.

The other family members beside the sisters were also smiling when they saw the eyebrows and eyes of the two sisters.The two families get along very harmoniously.

The last pot of chicken soup, a family of six, each had a bowl. Under Fang Le's strong request, the two brothers also got a chicken wing and a little chicken each.

"It's so fresh~" Fang Le's mother took a bowl of chicken soup from her sister and sighed after taking a sip.

"Sister, when did your craft become so good?"

"Is it as good as you said? I'll try it." Qin Xun's mother looked at her sister's intoxicated expression, put a spoonful of it on her mouth, tasted it, and then said with a surprised and puzzled expression. :
"Hey, don't tell me, it's really fresh~ But apart from red dates and goji berries in this chicken soup, I just put a pinch of salt when it comes out of the pot, and I don't even have any seasoning at home. I don't even have to put ginger. It's fishy, ​​I didn't expect it to be so delicious, without any fishy smell~"
