Chapter 236 Should I Peel Your Skin or Not?
Everyone in the room was intimidated by Lin Cai's serious demeanor, including Hong Lin, who was closest to them but fearless.
Seeing Lin Cai like this, she suddenly thought of her past actions.
She suddenly felt a little fortunate that Lin Cai hadn't taken her seriously before, otherwise she might be freezing somewhere right now!
Gu Ershi was thus threatened, but he dared not say anything in rebuttal. The topic was thus dropped, but Scarface had his eye on the chili powder that Lin Cai had just taken out.
He knew what chili peppers were, but those chili peppers had no flavor other than being spicy.
But the one Lin Cai took out just now tasted different. It had a very fragrant aroma, and it tasted spicy with chili peppers, but also very fragrant. It was much tastier than what I had eaten before.
Lin Cai never expected that just because she roasted a few potatoes, someone would covet the chili powder. So she threw all the remaining chili powder to Scarface.
"This is just regular chili pepper, dried and ground into powder, and then seasoned with this spice."
"As long as I have enough ingredients, I will make it, and I can eat as much as I want."
"What materials do you want? I'll get them for you."
Scarface looked up from the chili powder. He wasn't joking; he was serious. If Lin Cai wanted any ingredient, she just had to tell him, and he would go and get it for her.
But Lin Cai shook her head: "What's the point of doing that? We're already having trouble even getting food, how can we have time for this?!"
The Gu family sat at home eating and warming themselves by the fire, not feeling cold at all, but it was different in other homes.
Er Lengzi is freezing to death. He never imagined that he could be so cold at home.
Lying on the bed, Er Lengzi wrapped the blanket around himself, but still felt it wasn't warm enough, so he yelled in the room.
"Zhang Cui, Zhang Cui, where have you all been? Don't you know how to bring some charcoal to warm yourselves up? Damn it, if I freeze to death, who will support you?"
He lay on the bed cursing and swearing, waiting for his wife to bring him the charcoal. But when he saw his wife come empty-handed, Er Lengzi exploded.
"Zhang Cui, you damn woman, do you really want me to freeze to death? Do you really want me to freeze to death so you can go find the next one, right?"
"I'm telling you, no way! You're my wife now, so you'll be mine forever. If you dare to go behind my back and find some other man, I'll..."
"You stupid fool, what are you spouting with that filthy mouth of yours? What do you mean by looking for a new partner, or some random guy?"
"If you're not going to find some random guy, then why won't you give me some charcoal to use?"
At this point, Er Lengzi felt a little aggrieved!
When Zhang Cui heard what he said, she almost couldn't help but slap him.
"Are you frozen stiff? Look at our family! Do we look like the kind of people who live with a charcoal fire?"
Those charcoal pieces are expensive; their family can't afford them, let alone use them. That damned man is away all year round, and now he wants the best. What a load of crap!
When his wife said there was no charcoal in the house, Er Lengzi couldn't help but start complaining about the Lin family. If it weren't for the Lin family, he wouldn't be freezing.
It's all the Lin family's fault for being stingy. If they had been more generous and taken that fifteen taels of silver to get them some food, coats, and charcoal, he wouldn't be freezing like this now.
Like Er Lengzi's family, there were many other families who couldn't stand the cold and started to complain about the Lin family.
Everyone thought the Lin family was stingy and blamed them for not helping. If they had been willing to help, they wouldn't be freezing like this now.
The village chief's house was also cold, but it was better than the other villagers' because they had a lot of charcoal. They had bought it before and kept it until now, and they didn't expect it to come in handy.
Gu Wu put his hands on the stove and felt them warm. After taking off his shoes, he tried to put his feet up on the stove, but he was hit on the instep when he had only lifted his feet halfway up.
Gu Wu yelled and pulled his foot back, rubbing the back of his foot with his right hand: "Big brother, why did you hit me?"
"This is charcoal, the kind you use to grill meat. Are you putting your feet on it because you want to eat grilled pig's trotters?"
"What do you mean by roasted pig's trotters? I just got cold and wanted to warm my feet up. Besides, my feet are right here. How could I possibly treat my feet like pig's trotters and roast them?"
"Who knows if your foot will suddenly fall down? If it does, there won't be any extra money to pay for your medical treatment."
When Gu Wu heard what his older brother said, he glanced at his feet and then at the embers in the stove. He felt that his older brother was trying to fool him.
The village chief sat to the side and heard what the eldest son said to the younger son, and the younger son actually believed it. The village chief felt his hands itching again.
They're only two years apart in age, how come these two children look so different!
He used to think that having two sons would bring him double the blessings, but now it seems he should give up!
He, the old man, can probably share in the good fortune of his eldest son, but the good fortune of his youngest son is another matter!
Winter had entered the twelfth lunar month, and more than half of it had already passed. Lin Cai was unaware of the customs of the twelfth lunar month, so she simply did nothing.
Lin's mother called her daughter back, wanting her to make some rice wine. Lin Cai followed her mother's instructions and prepared all the necessary materials.
Following Professor Lin's method, I personally made a jar of unfermented wine.
Freshly made fermented lees cannot be eaten yet; they need to ferment over time to allow the contents to slowly change and become the kind of food humans would want to eat.
After Lin Cai finished making it, she was just about to carry the jar over and put it away when someone rushed over and pushed her aside.
"Put it down, put it down, I'll do it, I'll do it. Leave all the dirty and tiring work to me, you don't need to do it yourselves."
The person rushing over was dressed in coarse linen clothes, with a clean-shaven face; judging from his face, you would think he was weak.
Physically speaking, you'd probably think you couldn't win.
Lin Long moved a little too quickly, and after pushing his sister aside, she almost lost her balance and fell over.
Fortunately, Lin's mother reached out and caught him in time, and then slapped Lin Long on the back.
"Don't you have eyes when you walk? Can't you see people? You're running around like crazy in your own home. If you knock your sister down, you'll see if I don't skin you alive."
Lin Long, who was holding the jar, was slapped on the back.
