Chapter 189 Making Shoes
Chapter 189 Making Shoes
Ever since Qin Yan's parents passed away, he has been avoiding this topic. Even when Qin Liang talked to him about it, he avoided it.
This is the second time I've brought this up.
The last time I mentioned it was when I was braiding Shen Nuo’s hair.
Shen Nuo snuggled into his arms and put his arms around his waist.
"Ayan, I will accompany you from now on."
Shen Nuo saw that Qin Yan missed his parents. He felt the same when he missed his master, and sometimes he even wanted to cry.
"Okay, we will live very well in the future."
Qin Yan's parents are very loving, that's why he takes such good care of Shen Nuo.
In fact, he was just imitating the way his father treated his mother.
No one is born with the ability to take care of others. Qin Yan has seen too much of his father's doting on his mother, so after he was sure that Shen Nuo was the person he liked, he always treated him well.
Except Shen Nuo, no one can make Qin Yan do this.
Qin Yan let Shen Nuo sit on his lap and continued making shoes.
The deerskin had been prepared long ago, and he polished it a bit, making it very soft inside, and he also made the soles soft.
Nuonuo's feet are white and tender, so they are not suitable for wearing hard shoes.
Qin Yan wanted to give Shen Nuo all the best things, even if it was just a pair of shoes, he wanted the best.
His Nuonuo was born to enjoy a happy life.
Shen Nuo looked at the movements of his hands and couldn't help but be amazed.
"Did you make a pair for yourself?"
He asked Qin Yan.
Shen Nuo also wanted Qin Yan to dress as warmly as himself.
"Do it. Do it tomorrow. Do Nono's first today."
A boot was sewn quickly and then beautiful laces were tied on it.
There is no zipper here, so it can only be tied with ropes.
Of course, there are also those that don’t need ropes to tie them, but snow will fall in, and won’t the boots get wet?
After both shoes were made, Qin Yan took off Shen Nuo's boots.
"Put it on and try to see if it fits?"
Shen Nuo was wearing thick cotton socks inside. The snow boots he was originally wearing were also made of deerskin, but they were too thick.
When the weather clears up, you should wear thinner boots.
Shen Nuo put his feet in. They fit perfectly. Moreover, the shoes were really soft. They were even more comfortable to wear than the ones he had changed into in the space.
He shook his feet and said happily:
"It fits well and is comfortable to wear. I like it."
Qin Yan helped him tie his shoelaces, then reached out and pinched the toe of his shoe, making sure there was still a little space in the front before he was satisfied.
"As long as Nono likes it."
"Thank you, Ayan. I'll wear these boots then. They're very warm to wear."
In fact, his original boots were not rotten, but Qin Yan saw that he always liked to play in the snow, and if his boots got wet, he would not be able to find replacements.
Now that I have some free time, I made him an extra pair.
"Then I'll make you a pair that's a little thinner so you can wear it when the weather gets hot."
The weather was too hot before and Shen Nuo didn’t like wearing cloth shoes, so Qin Yan weaved straw shoes for him.
It is winter now. Even if winter is over, it may not get warm so quickly. You still cannot wear shoes that are too thin at that time.
Qin Yan started to sew the soles again, making sure they could at least be worn until summer. Since Shen Nuo had space for them, he could just put them inside.
"Are you still doing it? Are you tired?"
Shen Nuo just felt strange. Every time A Yan helped him with something, he seemed to never get tired.
"It's not tiring. Making shoes is not difficult."
"OK then."
Shen Nuo picked up the kettle and handed it to Qin Yan.
"Drink some water. This water is hot."
They all drank spiritual spring water. When cooking, Shen Nuo also put the spiritual spring water in a bucket separately, and Qin Yan used the water in that bucket to cook.
Qin Yan took the kettle, drank a few sips of hot water, and continued making shoes.
"If Nuonuo is sleepy, take a nap."
Shen Nuo had been nestling in his arms. He was used to taking naps, and now he was indeed feeling a little sleepy, but he couldn't bear to let A Yan be busy alone.
He held his eyelids open.
"I'm not sleepy. I want to watch A-Yan make shoes."
"Okay, then can I tell Nuonuo a story?"
Qin Yan's voice became low, and he took another blanket and wrapped Shen Nuo completely.
"Okay, I want to hear Ayan tell a story."
Qin Yan then quietly told the story he knew.
He didn't look down until the little fox in his arms stopped talking.
Shen Nuo closed his eyes and breathed steadily at this time.
Qin Yan lowered his head and kissed his forehead, laughing softly:
"You're still not sleepy, you little liar."
After saying that, he hugged the person into his arms again, allowing the person to sleep more comfortably.
The main room is very big, everyone is doing their own thing, and no one will pay attention to what others are doing.
Besides, Qin Yan usually coaxes Shen Nuo to sleep in this way, so no one would think there is anything wrong with it.
The fire made crackling sounds as firewood burned. The people around noticed that Shen Nuo had fallen asleep, and they subconsciously spoke in lower voices.
When Shen Nuo woke up, it was almost dark.
He blinked dazedly and rubbed his face against Qin Yan's chest.
"Nono, are you awake? What do you want to eat tonight?"
After hearing the pleasant voice, Shen Nuo looked towards Qin Yan.
"I want to eat meat~, lots of meat~."
Shen Nuo had just woken up, and his voice was soft and small. Qin Yan lowered his head to listen, and his heart beat faster.
"Okay, then let's have meat tonight. How about making roast chicken tonight?"
Holding Shen Nuo, he made him sit up.
Shen Nuo finally perked up a little. He nodded:
"Eat, eat roast chicken, roast chicken is the best."
Shen Nuo likes to eat roast chicken.
Qin Yan took the water from the side:
"Drink some water, and I'll make roast chicken later."
Torches were lit in the main room, making the surroundings bright.
Qin Yan asked Shen Nuo to sit by the fire, and he went outside to catch a chicken and kill it.
These are chickens from the mountain village. After some villagers were given chickens, they exchanged them for food.
These chickens were difficult to take away and raise, so Qin Yan simply killed them all.
Some were buried in the snow, and some were placed directly into Shen Nuo's space.
Qin Yan dug out a chicken from their snow pile.
It is called a snow pile, but in fact it should be said that it is a small ice cellar.
There was no place to store things, so Qin Yan dug some compacted ice and snow from the ground and built it into the shape of a box.
Put the meat in here and cover it with snow. This way, the meat can be preserved for a long time and will not get dirty.
Other villagers also followed suit. When they lived in caves, they also piled up snow.
Now, for fear that things might get messy, we made an "ice cellar" like this, which is also convenient for identification.
Qin Yan skewered the whole chicken with a stick, took it directly to the main room, and roasted it over the fire.
Shen Nuo followed and watched from the side.
When it’s time for dinner, the main room is filled with the aroma of food.
When Qin Ruan and the others saw Qin Yan roasting chicken, they also took out their own meat and roasted it together.
