The cold weather outside prevented Zhao Yuan from wanting to carry out construction activities, chatting with Tao Pu, Zhao Yuan found that his vision was very broad, Zhao Yuan said his thoughts, Tao Pu could understand the deep meaning, for this era, he is definitely a good businessman, but it is a pity that his family encountered this big ordeal.

In the next few days, Zhao Yuan's family and Tao Pu's family stayed at home except for a fair, but they were not idle.

"Uncle Tao, I'm going to store some ice in the cave at the foot of the mountain to see if I can save it until summer." One day, Zhao Yuan looked at the frozen ice in the fish pond outside the house, and suddenly thought that he could take some clean ice cubes and see if he could save it for use in the summer.

"Can this ice still be saved?" Tao Pu, from the southerly region, asked.

"I don't know, I think it's okay, there happens to be a natural cave on the mountainside, and if you bury the ice in it, maybe you can save it until summer, and you will be idle anyway."

"Okay, then I'll go get the frame." Tao Pu also found it interesting that if the ice cubes could be kept in the hot summer, then the summer would be comfortable.

"Brother Yuan, we're going to help too." Meng Ying said.

"And us, uncle." Luoluo also raised his hand and said, in fact, the main thing is to play with ice.

"You're not allowed to go, it's so cold outside." Zhao Yuan stopped.

Because the fish pond was not waterproofed at the bottom, the water seeped into the sediment and was very clear, and after the cold weather, a pool of ice was formed.

"Wear thicker clothes and go out, don't catch a cold." Aunt Pu said.

"Uncle Tao, you go and add some clothes first, and then we'll go." Zhao Yuan said.

Back in the house put on a thick dress outside, a few little guys were arguing to go, Zhao Yuan thought about it, let them also add a thick clothes, and watched from the sidelines, these days, basically didn't go out, it's okay to go out for a walk.

"I don't know if the ice in the fish pond is thick or not, if it is not thick, it may not survive." Zhao Yuan muttered, took Meng Ying and a few little guys, and came to the side of the fish pond.

"Owner, I took a look, this ice is only two fingers thick, can it be done?" Tao Pu, who arrived at the fish pond with his tools first, said.

"I haven't done it either, let's give it a try, the cave on the mountainside is quite deep, we will carry the ice to the innermost part and cover it with dirt, maybe."

"Brother Yuan, how to do it?" Meng Ying asked.

"Just take the ice, put it in a basket, and pick it up in the cave." Zhao Yuan said with a smile, in fact, he is idle, find something to do, as for whether it can be done, it is not very important.

Hearing Zhao Yuan's words, Tao Pu carefully went down to a big stone in the fish pond and prepared to take ice, this big stone was specially left by Zhao Yuan, and after the fish pond was waterproofed, the stone would become a habitat for fish.

"Uncle, can I be silently icing?" Luoluo asked, looking at the crystal ice cubes that came out of the fish pond.

"No, you can bring one back to your room when you go back, and you can play again then." Zhao Yuan pulled up the basket containing the ice cubes.

"Uncle Tao, let's go to the cave first, Xiaoying, you go home and get some firewood to make a torch, although the cave is quite big, I didn't go in to take a closer look last time, I hope it is suitable for hiding ice, and it can also be used as a warehouse in the future." Zhao Yuan said again.

"Okay, Luoluo, Xiaobao and Xingxing will also go with you?" Meng Ying asked.

"Sister Meng, I'll go with you." Tao Yingchun said.

"Come along, they won't do it if they don't let them go." Zhao Yuan looked at the three little guys with a look of anticipation, and said with a smile.

Meng Ying took Tao Yingchun back to the house and prepared to prick a torch with tung oil and pine needles.

"I'll pick it, owner." Tao Pu saw that Zhao Yuan was going to pick up a basket with ice cubes with a flat pole, and hurriedly said.

"Can it be done, Uncle Tao?" Zhao Yuan asked.

"No problem, I used to be able to walk like a fly when I picked a hundred and eighty pounds of things, and these two pieces of ice are not heavy." Tao Pu said loudly.

"Alright, let's wait for them to bring the torches, and then go up again." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

Tao Pu is very strong, and his cultivation during this time, coupled with the recent good food, he can't see that Zhao Yuan was so old when he met him in the bazaar, and he looked like a big man in the north.

Waiting for Meng Ying and Tao Yingchun to come over with the torches they had tied, Zhao Yuan greeted and asked Aunt Pu to look at the three little guys with Tao Yingchun and Meng Ying, and walk towards the mountain with the hoe and sickle first.

The half of the mountain that Zhao Yuan bought was a bit steep, and there was still thick snow on the mountain, and when the house was first opened, because of the need to cut wood down from the mountain, a simple road was formed, which could go directly to the cave on the mountainside.

Zhao Yuan led the way in front, pushing the snow on the road to both sides of the record, and when he encountered a place that was difficult to walk, he used a hoe to dig out a few places to put his feet down, so as not to slip.

When he walked to the cave on the mountainside, Zhao Yuan was already sweating profusely, "This is it, there is a platform in this place, you can rest for a while, are you tired, Luoluo, Xiaobao, Xingxing?" Zhao Yuan took a breath and said.

"Don't be tired, uncle, there's a lot of snow on the mountain, can we build a snowman?" Luoluo blinked her big eyes and looked at Zhao Yuan and said expectantly.

"No, it's too cold in the mountains, we'll play when we get back." Zhao Yuan shook his head and said.

"Okay." Luoluo said regretfully.

When he was in Zhaojiazhuang, Luoluo often went to see the snowman in Zhao Yuandui, and when he left, he was still a little reluctant, and the snow around the house on the new house was swept outside by the Tao Pu family.

"Shall we go in?" Meng Ying stood on the platform outside the cave, glanced at the dark cave, and asked.

"You guys just watch a few little guys here, I'll go in with Uncle Tao first." Zhao Yuan shook his head, took the torch from Meng Ying and Tao Yingchun, handed it to Tao Pu, and said.

"Be careful, Brother Yuan, Uncle Tao." Meng Ying said.

"Don't worry, it's okay, I've been in before." Zhao Yuan said with a smile, lit the torch, and walked towards the cave with Tao Pu.

This mountain is actually a little weird, there are few big stones at the foot of the mountain, basically all yellow mud, but the mountainside up, in addition to the soil, there are large pieces of Longgu bluestone, in the mountainside here formed a cliff, but inside the cliff is a huge cave, to the inside of the eyes of seven or eight meters, although the more you go inside, the area of the cave is getting smaller, but the total area is more than 20 square meters, the height is also four or five meters.

"Good place, owner, this cave is very dry, if you can build the hole with bricks in the future, it can be used as a warehouse." Tao Pu followed Zhao Yuan to the cave, looked around with a torch, and said.

"I just took a cursory look at it last time, but I didn't expect it to be really good, Uncle Tao, be careful, there seems to be a snake hibernating over there." Zhao Yuan suddenly found that in the stone crack on the right side of Tao Pu, there was a black thing, which seemed to be a snake.
