The retired rough man dotes on his mother

Chapter 159: Whatever food there is at home is not surprising

Now the business of making clothes and snacks is going on normally. The two of them also went to the black market several times to trade with Zhou Bao. Because of the materials provided by Xiao Baoer and Shen Zhensheng, Zhou Bao's business expanded very quickly and he made a lot of money. Now he can also get a share of the black market in the county.

Xie Lan's business was also booming, but she did not sell her job at the supply and marketing cooperative, mainly because her eldest daughter would be able to work in a few years, and then she could just give the job to her.

The amount of materials required gradually increases each time, and the payment also increases each time. The last payment reached 7 yuan.

While Zhou Bao and Xie Lan were making a fortune, Xiao Baoer and Shen Zhensheng's assets were also increasing. If they wanted to start a business in the future, they would definitely not lack funds.

The two of them went to the waste recycling stations in the county and town twice and got some small yellow croakers and a few diamonds, but nothing else of value.

The weather was getting colder and colder. The family had moved into a new house. The house was kept warm every day, so the family rarely went out, and Xiao Baoer was too lazy to move.

Most recently, Shen Zhensheng went to the town by himself to deliver supplies to Zhou Bao and Xie Lan. Anyway, he could take the supplies out of the space by himself. Xiao Baoer also asked Xiao Pu Tao to help him get them out.

The last time Xiao Baoer went out was to the county hospital for a check-up. Xiao Baoer knew very well that the child was growing well. The female doctor praised Xiao Baoer for her good complexion and also praised Shen Zhensheng for taking good care of her.

Recently, Xiao Baoer has taken a liking to studying food at home. She doesn't like going out so she cooks for her family at home. She has made a lot of desserts, drinks, dishes and soups. After trying out how to make them, she teaches Shen Zhensheng how to make them.

Thanks to mom and dad's delicious food, the three little ones have become round and plump, and they are growing fast. Their pants need to be changed frequently, otherwise they will be too short.

Shen Zhensheng was afraid that both his children and himself would get fat, so he took his three children to exercise in the yard every day and taught them horse stance and boxing.

Xiao Baoer woke up on the kang in the morning, and Shen Zhensheng came in from outside. "Wife, it's still early, why don't you go to bed? It's snowing outside, and it's snowing heavily. I guess the road will be blocked for a few days."

Xiao Baoer got up immediately when she heard that it was snowing. She had never seen snow here before. "I want to go see the snow. Hurry up and get me some clothes."

Shen Zhensheng put on her red turtleneck sweater and pure wool maternity trousers, and then a milky white long down jacket and black cotton boots. Then Xiao Baoer wanted to go out and see the snow in a hurry.

As a result, Shen Zhensheng grabbed her and took a red hat and scarf with white edges from the hanger and put them on her. She was wrapped up tightly, and her already bulging belly made her look even more adorable in this outfit.

Shen Zhensheng followed her out of the house to see the snow. She was eager to go out, but Shen Zhensheng didn't let her, mainly because he was afraid that she would slip.

"Wife, just sit inside. I have to go to the front yard. Mom's house is old. The snow on the roof needs to be removed for her, otherwise it will collapse the house."

Xiao Baoer was acting coquettishly and wanted to go out for a walk, so Shen Zhensheng had no choice but to take her with him. The three children were put into the space to play, and when the time came, they would just say that the children were playing with toys at home.

Shen Zhensheng supported her and walked slowly. Xiao Baoer was in a very good mood as she stepped on the snow and listened to the sound. She had always liked snow, and this kind of snow that had just fallen was even more beautiful.

It was only a few steps away from the old house, but it took them longer to walk there than the previous round trip. When they finally arrived, everyone in the old house was cleaning the snow from the roof beams.

Shen Zhenjiang did not go to work in town because the roads were blocked by heavy snow. He was sweeping the snow on the beams at home. "Third brother, why did you ask third sister-in-law to come as well? It's so cold today, and the roads are slippery."

Xiao Baoer smiled embarrassedly, "Don't blame your third brother, I just wanted to go out for a walk, I'm not cold if I'm wearing thick clothes."

Liu Ying and Shen Laoer had just finished sweeping the snow off the beams of their own house and came over to help their parents. The three sons helped them sweep the snow, and Shen's father didn't have to do anything himself. He just stood in the yard holding a teacup.

The snow is getting heavier now. We have to clean it up quickly. If this heavy snow continues, the house will not be able to withstand it.

The lazy guy Shen slept until his three brothers swept the snow off the beams of their parents' house and cleared the snow in the yard for their parents. He thought his three younger brothers would help him sweep the yard, but after sweeping their parents' yard, the three brothers put the brooms away.

The same thing happened to Shen Lao Si, who got up at about the same time as Shen Lao Da. Now, as the snow was getting heavier, he was sweeping the snow with a huff. Li Sanni was lying in the house, saying that she was afraid of hurting her son, so she didn't go out at all. Instead, she asked Daxiu and the others to go out and sweep the snow.

As soon as it snowed, Xiao Baoer wanted to eat hot pot and barbecue. After they finished sweeping, Shen Laowu, Shen Laoer, and Shen's father and mother followed them back home to sweep their new and old yards. Both yards were not small, so it took a lot of time.

Several people worked in the snow, even Liu Ying came to help. Xiao Baoer thought that they had worked for the whole morning, so they should prepare hot pot and barbecue for lunch in such cold weather.

While everyone was sweeping the snow in the old yard, Xiao Baoer went into the space by herself to prepare ingredients for barbecue and hot pot.

The meat dishes for the hot pot include beef, mutton, prawns, duck blood, small liver, beef tripe, tripe, basa fish, crispy sausage, duck intestines, quail eggs, and luncheon meat.

The vegetarian dishes include baby cabbage, chrysanthemum, enoki mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, lettuce, radish slices, potato slices, coriander, water spinach, Sichuan rice noodles, potato noodles, bean curd, tofu skewers, kelp, bean curd sheets, and Chiba tofu.

In addition, we prepared shrimp balls, beef balls, fish balls, fish roe lucky bags, crab sticks, fish tofu, lobster balls, and crispy bone balls.

We already have a shuangxiang hotpot at home for hot pot. We cook the spicy soup base on one side and the tomato soup base on the other. Children prefer the tomato flavor.

Three kinds of dipping sauces are prepared: seafood, classic sesame sauce, and dry dipping sauce.

Some of these things taste good when grilled, so we also took out some extra delicious things to grill. When the time comes, we will say that these ingredients were bought little by little by Shen Zhensheng's comrades during the winter, and they are all prepared, waiting to be used for hot pot and barbecue when it snows heavily during the winter.

Anyway, everyone in the family knows that Shen Zhensheng and he have a wide range of connections, so it's not surprising that they can find some relatively rare foods. They never ask too many questions about themselves and Shen Zhensheng.

After the ingredients and the base of the pot were prepared, a few people came back from sweeping the snow, their clothes were soaked with snow.

Xiao Baoer handed them towels and asked them to wipe themselves, then invited everyone to go to the big room used for dining. This room was originally reserved for entertaining guests when there were a lot of people, and it was now ready to use.

Shen Laoer's family, as well as Shen's father and mother, have never eaten hot pot or barbecue. It smells so delicious. Shen Laowu had eaten it once at Shen Zhensheng's house and has always missed the taste.

No one really asked where so many ingredients came from. They all thought they were things bought from big cities when selling clothes and snacks. Anyway, the third brother and his wife were capable, and his wife could cook, so it was not surprising to see what food they had at home.
