Pig ears were steaming in the pot, and the steam seeped out from the cracks in the pot lid, making the whole room look extra warm.

Ji Congzhe fried the salt until it was slightly yellow, let it cool, and then put the meat strips in the basin. Then he moved a bench and sat on it, holding the meat strips with one hand and spreading the coarse salt evenly without leaking anywhere.

After finishing the meat, he placed the washbasin in the corner under the stairs. Now the hens have been taken back to the chicken coop, and a small area has been cleared in the small ancestral hall and a fence has been built with bamboo strips. The six chickens are temporarily kept in captivity. Here it is.

Aunt Yang stood under the eaves of the corridor and watched Ji Congzhe scurry in and out, carrying the coal stove and placing it outside. Then she took the tongs to put the coal cakes in, then put the pot with water on top, and finally added the tube bones bought today. .

"Xiao Ji, are you making bone soup today?"

"Making hot pot."

Aunt Yang said with a smile, "It's really good to eat hot pot on a cold day." Ji

Congzhe thought for a while and asked her, "Hey Aunt Yang, you haven't cooked yet, have you?" "Why don't you cook it today and eat hot pot at my house?"

"Oh, no need, you two can eat by yourself.

"

Aunt Yang initially declined, but later she couldn't stand Ji Congzhe's invitation, so she told Uncle Yang.

Ji Congzhe called Chen Hu again. Except for Wang Xiaoyan, who was still in confinement, today was a lively gathering for everyone.

When Lin Zhen came back, the soup bones in the pot were still simmering, but Ji Congzhe was missing.

He searched around the house and upstairs, then ran to Uncle Yang's house to ask.

Aunt Yang said, "Xiao Ji went to the back mountain to pick vegetables. He asked us to go to your house to eat hot pot today. Oh, Xiao Ji is so polite."

After hearing this, Lin Zhen said, "Uncle and aunt, we will fix it later ." I'll call you."

He walked out of the next door room and was about to pile the winter bamboo shoots dug today into the small ancestral hall when Ji Congzhe came back with a basket of vegetables.

He looked at the bulging bag of winter bamboo shoots and said to Lin Zhen, "Get some winter bamboo shoots out so you can cook the hot pot later."

"Okay."

"I'm going to buy some tofu and fried tofu."

Lin Zhen stood up. I'll go and ask Yan Cen to come over and eat."

Ji Congzhe was startled and quite surprised. Apart from having to take Yan Cen's tractor every time he went to town, why didn't he know when Lin Zhen had such a good relationship with Yan Cen.

Lin Zhen said, "I have something to discuss with him."

Ji Congzhe narrowed his eyes, "Tea?"

"Yeah." Lin Zhen said solemnly, "You will have a baby next year, and we rent so much tea land. I guess I won't be able to handle it all at once." I won't be able to spare time for a while. I don't know what will happen when I have a child."

"So you plan to recruit Yan Cen to join the team?" Ji Congzhe raised his eyebrows. "But he is indeed a good candidate, and he doesn't talk much. In fact, there is a tractor that can be used anytime and anywhere, so it will be convenient to sell tea in the town. Besides, Yan Cen's family also does tea business every year."
