Su Qingluan's running team has gradually become a scenery in Huaxi Village. Sometimes, even if everyone can't follow the whole process and occasionally run a few steps together, they can still be considered to have participated in this activity.
Or even if they can't run from beginning to end, they are not as good as those who are pregnant like Sun Guixiang, those who are "bad at walking" like Mu Xingzhi, and others who are over sixty years old and tremble even when they stand. There are also many people who come out to bask in the sun while everyone is running.
For no other reason, even saying hello to fellow villagers who are familiar with each other feels much better than staying in a cold room. It seems to become lively like this.
Later, everyone simply took advantage of this time to exchange the unwanted or extra things at home, forming a not too large-scale, but very lively "free trading" market. Of course, this effect is something to talk about later, Lian Su Qingluan himself did not expect such an effect.
However, there are still fewer and fewer people who can persist in running. One of the most important reasons is that not everyone has the perseverance and perseverance to face the increasingly cold north wind every day, and it takes half an hour to run.
What's more, as the weather gets colder at night, it gradually becomes more difficult not to mention going to the town. Because of several small but long enough snowfalls, a layer of "snow crust" that is not too heavy but hard enough has accumulated on the ground. ".
As a serious northern child in her last life, Su Qingluan understood that this thin layer of snow that could even vaguely see the soil below was, in a sense, even more dangerous than the heavy goose-feather snow that often reached the knees.
Not because of anything else, but because such "light snow" can easily melt as soon as it falls on the ground due to the slight friction generated by pedestrians passing by. However, this sub-freezing environment causes melted water droplets to freeze immediately, forming a layer of ice shell on the road.
This is different from the previous thin ice layer formed due to rain, because this ice shell is likely to be quickly covered with a layer of snow before melting to become a "snow shell", which makes people look like In fact, if you step on the soft snow, you will most likely break-dance for a while and your face will burst into bloom.
So Su Qingluan immediately made a decision and told Su Guangfu and Yang, who had not gone to the town to "purchase goods" before, not to go to the town.
Because even when there is no rain or snow, the rugged mountain road is one foot deep and one foot shallow, and it is not easy to walk on. Every time I pass that section of road when it rains, I stumble over unexpected potholes, which is considered minor. Some people's donkey carts just slipped and were carried into the nearby ravine.
Fortunately, although the donkey broke its leg and could no longer work, fortunately the man escaped the disaster in order to get out to push the cart - of course, the donkey was also turned into donkey meat and burned to fill its stomach.
However, this incident is enough to show that that section of the mountain road is really difficult to walk.
However, there are always those who do not believe in evil or some people who want to do business in the town one more time and are determined to go hiking on the mountain trails. There are also some who are lucky enough to come back safely.
However, there are also people who are not so lucky, and their broken legs are relatively minor. Others are more serious, falling directly into the ravine, hitting the back of the head, and dying.
Su Qingluan was very sad when he heard the news - after all, the other party even worked together until the end during the second round of making jam, and they happily received the "consolation welfare award" to themselves a while ago. He said with a smile that he would like to work with him next year.
As a result, everything changed in the blink of an eye, and he lost his life just to make one more business trip.
The daughter-in-law cried until she was in a daze, but what's the use? There is no way people can come back.
Probably seeing the loss of life, Li Zheng finally remembered to tell everyone on the notice board at the head of the village where the announcement was made that the road to the town was very difficult and everyone must be extremely careful when passing by.
As for "don't go to the town unless absolutely necessary", there is no such thing - just kidding, if you are not forced to have no choice, who wants to go to the town in the cold weather that takes more than half an hour to walk, and even takes longer now?
However, no matter what, life still has to go on, but everyone is more or less afraid, and they are more careful when going out. They no longer go out to the town to change things unless it is particularly necessary.
Fortunately, Su Qingluan not only received a generous salary in the autumn, but also had various benefits. Generally speaking, everyone was not short of clothes, at least it was much better than in previous winters.
But after all, the most important vegetables will decrease sharply in winter. The few vegetables are just cabbage, radish, and some pickled dried vegetables and pickles.
Although Su Qingluan also tried to promote the cultivation of carrots, coriander and onions, no matter what changes in time and space these three vegetables have experienced, there will always be a bunch of die-hard fans and negative fans, and this small mountain village in this era does not Exception, many people feel that these three vegetables have an indescribable strange taste.
Especially coriander and onions, which are considered smelly by many people. Su Qingluan said that people who don't understand the delicious taste of coriander and onions are simply unreasonable - of course, she just cursed in her heart. At the same time, she was also a little lucky that no one in the Su family was particularly picky about food. As long as it was cooked by her, everyone would basically eat it.
I’m even a little happy thinking about it this way!
Of course, the above activities are all done deep in the heart. On the surface, Su Qingluan is still very Buddhist in promoting "potted vegetables" everywhere, which has achieved good results. Anyway, everyone's "potted gene" has been completely activated, and quite a few people are beginning to enjoy it - flowers can't survive anyway, so growing some vegetables can still fill their stomachs.
However, the lack of food ingredients in winter is certain. Even if many people are no longer short of the most basic food ingredients to survive this winter, Su Qingluan still hopes to have more fresh meat and vegetables.
So Su Qingluan set her sights on the only river that passed through Huaxi Village.
As the temperature drops further in winter, fishing on the river becomes more and more difficult. Not only because the cold wind makes it difficult to stay still for several hours, but also because as soon as it gets cold, the fish go to deeper water and do not stay on the shore or in places with shallower currents.
…Which is better to say that winter is the dry season, and many areas with relatively small flows and relatively low water levels have become dry season sections, exposing the pitted riverbed below. Only some of the deeper sections of the river still have gurgling water - but now they are all covered with thick ice.
Su Qingluan has always been studying fishing on the ice or casting a net recently to see if he can get some fish and shrimp in the river.
The fish meat in winter is not as plump as the breeding season, but because the water temperature is cooler and because the fish will reduce or stop eating throughout the winter, the fish meat at this time is firmer and does not have much earthy smell.
In a sense, it is a different kind of delicacy.
What's more, the small fish in the river are also very delicious at this time, but Su Qingluan is not really a fisherman who is good at fishing, so he can only look at the "fish" and sigh.
