Chapter 238: Ice Lantern on the Fifteenth Day of the First Lunar Month

In the early morning after the day, Old Man Wu left the backer, although from his outside, but people like Wang Sanpao and the fat man, they still felt the kind of attachment in his heart.

"Grandpa Wu, when will you come back, let's go up the mountain to see the little tiger together?" Qiqi waved his little arm and shouted crisply.

Old Man Wu glanced back, raised his hand and danced twice, and then got into the jeep, his heart surging: When I die, I will be buried in this green mountain.

The fat man carried the big bags and small bags of things into the car, some of them were sent by the fat man, and the other half were brought by the villagers.

Watching a row of jeeps leave the backer, the fat man stared at the entrance of the village for a while, and then turned around and saw Wang Sanpao also standing there upright.

"Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and we should start work tomorrow. The fat man smacked his lips, even if the prosperous year passed, it was time to start the lively production.

Wang Sanpao slapped his thigh: "It's fifteen, and the ice lantern at home hasn't been made yet." After saying that, he ran home in a hurry.

The fat man scratched his head: "I don't have it at home, third uncle, wait for me, get me one too!"

As soon as they heard that they were going to make ice lanterns, Qiqi and Yaya also ran to Wang Sanpao's house. Qiqi's little face was full of excitement: "It turns out that the third grandfather can also make ice lanterns, which is really amazing." ”

The little girl has been to the ice lantern garden party and seen the colorful ice lanterns, so when she heard that Wang Sanpao would also do this, she was very happy.

arrived at Wang Sanpao's house. The fat man began to ask: "Third uncle." Prepare your belongings. Let's go to the small river outside the village to get ice. It seems that I have to call the boss uncle. Use a horse-drawn cart to bring the ice back. ”

Kiki also chimed in: "That's right. There are also various illuminations. Third Grandpa, are you ready?"

Wang Sanpao looked at the big and the small one in a daze. Then he scratched his head: "What are you talking about? I don't understand." ”

"Third uncle. So how do you do it?" the fat man finally realized. Both sides said about the ice lanterns. Probably not the same thing.

"It's simple. Find a large enamel basin. Pour water into it. Sit in the snow nest. Holding a small stick and looking at the dots. If there is ice in the middle. Just stir and mix slowly. Wait until all sides are frozen with a layer of ice. Burn it with fire. Take it all down. It is surrounded by transparent ground ice. In the middle is an open space. Stick a piece of wax to the bottom. The ice lantern is done. Wang Sanpao's introduction was very detailed.

Wait until he's done. The strange duo almost fainted together: this is also called an ice lamp? Make the ground out of ice. And there are lights in there too. What's not called an ice lantern?

"Third uncle, children can do this thing, let's make a fun ice lantern. "The fat man thought that he would start working tomorrow, so he simply had a good show today, didn't he say it, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, let's make a good fuss.

"Then you say smashing?" Wang Sanpao knew that the fat man liked to tinker with some strange things.

"It's basically like this, let's take the ice cubes first, and then fix the ice cubes into various shapes and put them together, or make a small house, or make some other shape. Then, pull wires inside, install colorful bulbs, and turn on the lights as soon as the electricity is turned on, which is called an ice lamp. The fat man said that Qiqi was nodding his little brain melon on the side.

"Sounds great, but it seems like a hassle. Wang Sanpao was also a little moved.

"In one day's time, let's find more people, make a simple one, and it will definitely be possible - I'll go to the boss first. The fat man was full of confidence, and ran out of the house, and Kiki, with his big eyes, also trotted away, and called someone to go.

"Uncle boss, prepare everything for the ice and put it in the car. "When the fat man entered the car owner's house, he began to shout.

"Fatty, the fish haven't been eaten yet, let's use the net directly after the river opens." "The car boss got some Jiang rice noodles this year, and he is shaking the sieve to wander around the Lantern Festival.

It is said that this Lantern Festival is different from the bean bun, it is not wrapped out, but shaken out. Make the Lantern Festival stuffing first, and then put it in a fine sieve. The sieve is placed on top of a flat wooden board and pushed back and forth.

Sprinkle the noodles in a sieve, slowly stick to the filling, and after dipping a layer, pick up the sieve, sift out the noodles, and then spray some water on the Lantern Festival like a small white ball, and then pour the noodles back and continue to shake. Until the size is appropriate, and the Lantern Festival is also porcelain, it is frozen, which is the soil method of processing the Lantern Festival.

"It's not fishing, we're digging ice to make ice lanterns. The fat man learned the general situation from him again. The car boss was already happy to join in the fun, and as soon as he heard about this new thing, he handed the sieve to the big man, and then pulled the fat man away. Look at that posture, it's more anxious than a fat man.

"Go back and leave me some Lantern Festival—" The fat man said as he walked.

"I've already given you a **, don't worry. The owner of the carriage pulled the fat man outside, led the horse out of the shed, and got into the carriage with three times and five divided by two: "What guys do you need?"

The fat man is also a confused god in the Confused Temple: "I don't know, anyway, I can get down a big ice cube." ”

As soon as the car boss heard this, he went straight to the warehouse, took out several iron drills, as well as three-toothed scratches, two-tooth hooks or something, all loaded into the car, and finally, there was a stone rammer, also called the fat man to move to the car. This guy is really weighty, and with the strength of a fat man, he is also so tired that he screams.

"When you get in the car, you have to greet a few boys. The coach shook his whip, and the carriage rushed out of the house. There were two rows of boy scouts blocking the road in front, and twenty or thirty wild boys stood in two groups, and the two fat men shouted: "Salute-"

fatso

Shang waved his hand: "Comrades have worked hard. ”

"Serve the people. The wild boys shouted together, since the last time they saw Old Man Wu meet with the People's Liberation Army, they had learned this trick.

"Target, the small bridge at the edge of the village, run forward, one, two, one......" The fat man knows that if you don't take them, these things can grind you to death.

Wang Sanpao led a few stick guys to appear in front, and they all held all kinds of guys in their hands, regardless of whether they could be used or not, they all threw them on the carriage first.

In more than ten minutes, the carriage came to the small river outside the village. Everyone got out of the car and took the slab to lift the snow on the ice to the side. The fat man and a few strong men took the iron and began to collect ice down.

The car boss hurriedly drew a large circle on the ice with an iron and instructed them to scatter around the circle: "Get a piece open first, and the rest will be easy to do." ”

The wild boys had nothing to do, and they were digging around the ice with their two-toothed scratchers. The fat man hurriedly sighed: "If you have the strength, save it first, and then transport ice cubes to the carriage later." ”

With a bang, the iron in his hand strengthened, pierced through the ice, and began to bubble out. The fat man chiseled down horizontally little by little, and soon connected the city with the person next to him.

Seeing that it was almost over, the car boss gave an order: "Lift the big rammer down and see if you can shake down the piece of ground that we have chiseled." Everyone be careful, stand outside the circle, and don't fall into the ice hole. ”

The half-sized children were just about to move forward, but Wang Sanpao stood up and retreated far away. However, his mouth was not honest, and he shouted vigorously: "Comrades, work hard—"

There was a muffled thud, and the boulder fell heavily on the ice, and everyone felt a flicker under their feet, like an earthquake. However, the ice was just smashed and covered with ice slag and did not open. In the winter, it is three feet freezing, old and strong, and the great liberation can be walked on it casually.

"Come again. The fat man shouted, and the four of them raised the ram high and fell down heavily. Click, click, click, in the circle drawn by the car boss, there are crystal cracks, with the big ram as the center, radiating around.

"It's almost the same as smashing it again, but it's all about it, don't put the big ram into the ice!" With the shout of the car boss, the big ram fell again.

With a bang, the ice finally shattered, but the four people who lifted the rammer were a little unstable on their feet, and they were carried by the stone and plunged into the ice hole.

Fortunately, the car boss had already taken precautions, and there were people behind him, all hands and feet, to get the big ramming up. Thanks to the water that rises up, stepping on it, you can stand on it. Otherwise, no one will be able to control their bodies if they are slick on the ice.

"Let's fish—" Looking at the undulating ice blocks, the two-foot hook and three-toothed scratch began to go up.

The ice cubes don't look big, but the thickness is there, and there is no lightness. It often requires the cooperation of a large group, and after all sides are set up, it is lifted up little by little.

"The ice cubes are coming out—" The wild boys cheered, and the cat began to push the ice cubes with his waist bent, and there were a few snow fields in front of him, opening up a slippery avenue, and pushing them in the back was also light.

In this way, after the ice was all built, a large ice hole appeared in the middle of the creek. The car boss looked around, chose a place, and told the fat man to continue smashing.

For the sake of insurance, the four people who smashed the rammer all had ropes in their waists and were dragged by people from a distance. lest they slide into the ice hole, and the wild boys will be driven far away.

The stubble chosen by the car boss happens to be a protruding piece, and the problem will be solved as soon as the stone goes down. Then, I found the stubble and kept chiseling, and the ice became more and more.

"Fat man, how many ice cubes do you want?" the car owner asked the fat man when he saw that an iceberg had been piled up in front of the carriage.

The fat man is smashing the ground, and he doesn't care much. When he looked up, he said again and again: "It's almost, it's enough to build three rooms, let's go back." ”

"You kid doesn't have a score in his heart, what do you want to do?"

The fat man wiped the beads of sweat from his head: "Let's go back and talk about it." ”

The men packed up their belongings, then came to the front of the carriage and began to move ice upwards, and it looked like they were going to have to pull several carts.

After placing one layer, the second layer began to be stacked, and the ice surface was extremely smooth, and one slipped out vigorously. When the fat man saw it, he hurriedly watered it. The iron bucket he brought finally took effect, sprinkled water between the ice, and immediately became honest.

The fat man followed the first car back to the village, and the two rows of wild boys in front of him opened the way, mighty and mighty, just like sitting in the chariot, about to kill the battlefield.

"Uncle Fat is back—unload the ice at our door. Qiqi led a few little girls and waved his hand vigorously.

This time, the wild boys didn't do it: "Why did you put it at your doorstep, everyone got it, let's see." ”

Then, the two camps began to bombard each other. Seeing this, the fat man yelled: "Stop ——, and break the ice, and grab it, whoever wants it will pull whoever you want, anyway, I won't do it." ”

The two camps immediately became dumbfounded, gathered in front of the car and begged, gossiping about good things, and the fat man was about to boast about his bald skin. Only then did the fat man smile and said, "Hehe, there is a small yard in front of the captain's house, and we will build an ice lantern there." ”

Qiqi was happy: It's still our door, originally, the fat man's house and the captain's house are separated by a road.

The wild boys are also happy: it is still the fat uncle who is just and turns the ice lantern into public property.

Only the fat man was secretly worried in his heart: what to do-
