Chapter 514 The First Snow
Although Li Qin has a storage ring, an alchemical pagoda, and a magic leather case, he can store all his belongings in them.
But he still kept some money in some places around the house.
Besides money, there are other things that are rare and valuable to ordinary people;
For example, cookies, cigarettes, alcohol, fruit candies...
This is to conform to the habits of normal people.
It would be very strange if you didn't keep any valuables in your house.
After all, this is Li Qin's home.
Li Qin soon came out of the study.
"Here's three yuan, take a look."
He handed the three yuan he had prepared directly to the two people in front of him.
The other party immediately and carefully took the money, and then carefully counted it.
"The money is right."
After checking that the money was in order, the two carefully put it away.
Li Qin nodded upon seeing this.
"The work is finished, and the payment has been settled, so we'll be leaving now."
The two young men then got up to say goodbye.
Li Qin did not try to stop them, but instead saw them out of the courtyard.
When the two men left, Li Qin stuffed half a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes into their pockets.
Li Qin almost never smokes cigarettes like Daqianmen.
In the end, I gave away everything I carried with me.
He himself mostly smokes Huazi cigarettes.
Although Li Qin looked down on Daqianmen cigarettes, for the two young men who did hard labor, Daqianmen was already an excellent cigarette.
The two men who received the cigarettes immediately thanked Li Qin profusely.
Before leaving, they promised that if Li Qinru needed help with anything in the future, they would be happy to assist him.
Li Qin did not refuse their kindness.
Although he could easily do many things with magic, sometimes he really needed help to cover his tracks.
After seeing the two off, Li Qin returned home.
By this time, it was almost completely dark.
However, it was only six o'clock.
Li Qin turned and went into the kitchen to prepare dinner for the day.
Dinner in the "public" sense.
While Li Qin was cooking, people who had gone out to work inside and outside the courtyard gradually returned.
News of what happened in the front yard that afternoon spread almost everywhere.
[Emotional Power +1000]
[Emotional Power +800]
[Emotional Power +500]
It was precisely because of this that Li Qin, who was actually cooking, kept hearing system notifications.
Nowadays, Li Qin doesn't pay much attention to these notification sounds.
Although the amount of emotional energy provided by the courtyard house was always large, it was still far less than the amount of emotional energy that Hong Kong provided to Li Qin almost every moment.
However, it is somewhat like comparing a small fry to a big fish.
Today, the number of people influenced by Li Qin's novels has increased from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, or even two hundred thousand.
This effect will only grow stronger over time.
Conversely, Li Qin's daily emotional energy gains also increased day by day.
After all, the sheer size of the population is something that traditional courtyard houses cannot match.
After pretending to fuss around in the kitchen for nearly half an hour, Li Qin finally "made" dinner.
A plate of stir-fried greens, a plate of shredded potatoes, a plate of pickled vegetables, and two steamed buns made from a mixture of wheat and vegetables.
This is Li Qinming's dinner.
As Li Qin walked out of the kitchen to return to the house, he suddenly stopped, a look of surprise flashing across his face.
He subconsciously looked up at the sky.
Unfortunately, it was already completely dark by then, and because of the bad weather, neither the stars nor the moon could be seen.
However, Li Qin could clearly feel that it was snowing.
Strictly speaking, what's falling now isn't snow, but rather small ice pellets that fell before the snowfall.
The ice pellets landed on Li Qin's face, making him feel a slight chill.
"It looks like it's really going to snow tonight."
Actually, he sensed the change in the weather in the afternoon and felt there was a high probability of snow.
Now his guess has been confirmed.
This was also the first snowfall since Li Qin arrived in this world.
"Luckily, I bought the coal briquettes this afternoon, otherwise it would have been a real problem."
Li Qin glanced subconsciously at the pile of coal briquettes he had bought that afternoon.
Although his family still had some coal briquettes, they could have used them for some time if they were just burning coal in a stove.
But if you use it on a fireplace, it won't last long.
If the snow lasts any longer, he will have to risk taking out some firewood directly from his storage space.
Now things are fine, Li Qin doesn't need to take any risks.
Li Qin turned and went into the house.
Knowing that it had started snowing, Li Qin deliberately closed the door tightly after entering the house.
At the same time, lower the cotton door curtain.
With this double layer of protection, it can also effectively isolate the cold air from outside.
However, complete isolation is impossible and cannot be done.
Li Qin was, after all, just a wizard, not yet beyond the realm of humanity, and still needed to breathe fresh air.
After entering the house, Li Qin first placed the food he was carrying on the dining table, and then walked to the fireplace.
After he added some firewood and coal to the fireplace, he waved his hand at it.
"Flames are raging!"
Suddenly, a flame began to burn inside the fireplace.
In just a short while, the firewood and coal in the fireplace were lit.
Li Qin then lifted the fire-starting spell.
Although the fireplace is lit, the temperature inside the house will not rise immediately.
This requires a process.
Since this is the first time it's been burned, the process may be a little slow.
However, Li Qin was not in a hurry.
He has to go to night school later, and by the time he gets back, it will be several hours later. He believes the temperature inside the house will be just right by then.
Once the fireplace was lit, Li Qin didn't need to pay much attention to the rest.
He only needs to refuel it periodically.
After fixing the fireplace, Li Qin sat back down at the dining table.
As usual, he took out some food from his storage ring and ate it.
"I need to find some time to replenish the food in my storage ring."
While eating, Li Qin thought to himself.
He had previously stored a lot of food in the ring, but after all this time, there wasn't much left.
In order to avoid going hungry in the future, he needed to prepare more food in advance to replenish the ring.
During this period, Li Qin collected some recipes and mastered many new types of dishes.
The materials are all available in the pagoda space, which is just enough to make it.
The only thing he can do is cook, which is left to the magic of life. If Li Qin were to do it himself, he would probably be exhausted.
After all, Li Qin's appetite is something most people can't match.
Moreover, for convenience, Li Qin would always prepare enough food in advance to feed himself for several months.
That's a considerable amount.
Even using life's magic, it would still take quite a while to make it.
After all, there's only one kitchen, and the wok for frying is only so big.
Of course, the most important thing is that Li Qin has high requirements for the taste of the food. If he relaxes his requirements and makes it like a large pot of stew.
That would be much simpler.
However, given the opportunity to eat small-batch dishes, why would Li Qin be willing to eat large-batch dishes that are several levels inferior in taste?
