Snowflakes all over the sky, the cold hits people, as soon as it is winter, the people seem to break through the ghost gate, the cold and harsh winter is really difficult for the people to endure tightly, every year at this time, the people's greatest hope is that time flies faster.

But this year is different, this year, the people of Chang'an, every family has learned a craft - building a fire kang!

This fire kang sounds cheesy, but it is a priceless treasure for the people, and it is a craft that does not change gold. This kang is simple to set up, as long as you understand the structure, find some forage, mix it into the mud, build adobe, even if all the materials are prepared, the rest is a simple build, a little more complicated is the chimney, but it is just a little troublesome, this kind of work, as long as you know some masonry skills, can be up, and even if you really don't, it is also simple, just spend a few pennies, and then invite someone to have a drink, you can find a special craftsman, a day can be built for you, it is really simple.

The most beautiful thing is that this kang only needs to burn a few bundles of firewood, and then sit on the kang, that is warm, and the best thing is that once this kang is hot, it will be hot for a long time, no need to look at it from time to time, as long as it is burned once a day in the morning, noon and evening, to ensure that you are hot for a day and a night.

This is just a fire kang, it is said that a kind of coal stove is now being sold in the Jinding market, the cheaper ones are only a few dozen yuan, and the better ones are only a few hundred dollars, and as long as you pay, people will provide you with door-to-door installation, guarantee that you will use it until you can use it, it is said that the reason why it will be so cheap, among which the Jinding Charity Foundation has made a lot of money, the people are really grateful to these little ladies, this year, they have indeed done a lot of practical things for the people, and they have never confiscated a penny, Some people with good hearts have already set up immortal cards for these ladies and burn incense every day.

Why are the people so grateful for Jinding charity? It's not that this coal stove is really good, although this thing is called a coal stove, but it doesn't necessarily burn charcoal, wood, forage, can be, therefore, as long as the people of the little family can afford to use it, this thing is really good, as long as the fire is burned, the heat emitted by the stove and the iron bucket, plus the ondol, this house is as hot as summer, some people are afraid of freezing, the first time they use it, the fire is full, the kang and the coal stove are hot, as a result, good guys, this house is as hot as the stove, can't stay at all, this winter, it's snowing, I actually need to go outside to cool off, it's so hot that I can't stand it! This happened in more than one family in Chang'an City, and it was basically concentrated in one day, because many people built a kang on the first day and bought a coal stove, and as a result, good guy, this night, it was snowing heavily, and a small half of the people in the city ran out to enjoy the coolness, which is really a miracle. This matter was also a joke for a while.

But because of this, many people know the power of the kang and the coal stove, which caused the coal stove to be seriously out of stock, and even the blacksmith of the whole process pushed all the business and spent all the time to build the coal stove, which was not enough, and there were rumors that even the forage and adobe that were usually worthless had been sold for a sky-high price. In this way, a small coal stove and kang warmed the people of Chang'an and even most of the people in the north, and also made the blacksmiths in the north really make a small fortune.

This winter, the people's favorite is a family sitting around the kang, put a small table on the kang, prepare a pot of wine, a few dishes of side dishes, hot chatter, tired and sleepy, lie down on the kang, to ensure that you sleep comfortably, this small day, is simply a fairy.

In just one winter, the reputation of Jinding Charity quickly soared to a very high status, and Princess Changle, as the president, has become the dream lover of all men in the city, and has also become the idol in the hearts of all women in the city. This is the sacred place in the hearts of women in the whole Chang'an, and even in the whole north.

It is also because of the charity foundation that the royal family has gained a great reputation, and the people's call to support the royal family has almost reached the highest voice in the previous dynasties, which made Li Er grin for several days after returning to Beijing, and even the last dynasty was happy to laugh.

Other families have not been left behind, it can be said that as long as there are women in the family who have joined the charitable foundation, they have gained a huge reputation, the little people in the house go to the street to buy vegetables, as soon as they hear who is in the house, someone in the family is in the charitable foundation, then the purchase of vegetables will be cheaper for a penny or two, and it will also usher in a lot of praise, which makes these family masters are very happy, they don't care about these few dollars, what they care about is reputation.

I heard that in the past few days, the door of charity opportunities has been trampled on, and Changle has even been blocked in the headquarters and dare not go out, all of them are interceding to join the charity foundation, so scared that she hid in the palace and did not dare to come out, fortunately, these days are approaching the end of the year, and the charity foundation can rest for a few days.

Another point, I don't know who spread the news that Li Yi is the inventor of the kang and coal stove, and naturally a storm was formed, but it is not too big, after all, as long as the people of Chang'an, they all know that the Jinding Business Alliance and Jinding Charity are the handiwork of Li Yi, so Li Yi has long been the guest of honor of the family cards, and this honor is nothing. Now who in Chang'an doesn't know the jade unicorn Li Dalang on the Weiguo Mansion?

......

On this day, on Chinese New Year's Eve, Chang'an City was lit up with thousands of lights, people came and went on the streets, and there was an endless stream of shouting, and after a year of efforts by Jinding Business Alliance, the scale of Chang'an City's commerce more than doubled compared with last year. Therefore, this year's Chinese New Year's Eve is also more lively.

During the day, the people go to the houses to visit the door, strolling, before the cold weather, are reluctant to go out, now the door, but you can cool down, breathe fresh air, refresh the spirit.

Therefore, this winter, there is an endless stream of people visiting and visiting, and the entire Chang'an City is full of people, lively, and the people's faces are full of smiles, although they don't know if there will be disasters in the coming year, at least this year, they are very comfortable.

Li Yi and others returned to Chang'an on the twentieth day of the lunar month, and as soon as they arrived in Chang'an, everyone immediately threw themselves into busyness, including a group of gentlemen and three daughters, busy with their careers, and visits to visits, Li Yi was the most idle, and the Li family had no relatives, so it didn't involve visits, and Li Yi also went to Li Daozong's mansion to see the old man's father-in-law and the relationship. didn't even go to the palace, Li Yi is now unofficial and light, and the palace must be in chaos now, so he won't join in the excitement.

Therefore, in the past few days, Li Yi has been staying at home, accompanying his grandparents and grandmothers, living an ordinary life, and the most important thing is to play a magical game.

Red Whisk Girl: "Three cylinders!" ”

Li Jing: "Touch!" Nine cylinders! ”

Li Xueyan: "Touch! One tube! ”

Li Jing: "Touch!" Four cylinders! ”

Li Yi: "Wait a minute, no one touched it, right?" ”

Li Xueyan: "Hehe, I'm sorry, Brother Yi, I'm confused!" ”

Li Yi: "Oh, buy ga! Burst! ”

......

Yes, Li Yi invented "mahjong" again! This is the most magical gambling equipment. This time-tested and enduring gambling equipment, this gambling equipment with hundreds of millions of mahjong friends in later generations, is simply like a magic spell, once it appeared, it quickly swept the entire aristocratic circle, since that day to visit the door Cheng Biting Jin snatched a pair of mahjong, the whole Chang'an is full of mahjong sound, it is said that even Li Er and the concubines played all night, the next day, the black circles of the court, the big brother of the monarch did not laugh at the second brother, all tacitly did not mention the matter, In fact, the main reason is that even Wei Zheng, who is looking for fault, has not resisted the temptation, and no one will mention this stubble.

Li Yi expected this situation when he was doing mahjong, he didn't care, the New Year! Just to be lively, busy for a whole year, Li Yi wants to relax this time, invent mahjong, but also to make himself quieter, these days those gentlemen have gathered in the bar or headquarters to play mahjong, no one bothered him, he also got quiet.

There was only one thing he hadn't expected.

"It's not scientific, why do I keep losing?"

The red whisk girl coded the cards, raised her eyelids and glanced at Li Yi, that charm is definitely only available to veterans who have been "killing" for a long time. "Who told you not to worship the God of Wealth early in the morning? The old body specially instructed you, if you don't listen, who do you blame? ”

"This thing is unreliable!"

"Since it's unreliable, why does the old body keep winning and you keep losing?"

"That's me...... I'm out of luck! ”

"It's still true, wouldn't it be good luck to worship the God of Wealth?"

"I ...... Well, grandma, you win, I'll go and worship later! ”

"It's late, you've already hated the God of Wealth, and people are ignoring you now!"

"And that's it? Why don't you go and plead with your grandson? ”

"It's okay, give me 40,000 yuan, and I'll help you talk about it!"

"It's... Isn't that okay? ”

"What's so bad?"

"Ahem, ma'am, don't we talk about it?"

"Well, am I ripppy? I'll just say that, did I say Hu 40,000! ”

"Not mushy? That's fine, forty thousand! ”

"Haha, in the middle, all the same, big three yuan, boy, you lit the cannon again!"

"Poof! I'm still too young! ”

Li Xueyan couldn't look at it, and said something closely. "Brother Yi, don't be sad, I won't be confused!"

Li Yi tilted his head and looked, almost spurting out a mouthful of old blood. "Mom sells batches, one shot...... Double ring! ”

Li Jing squinted his eyes and said proudly: "It's three shots!" ”

"Oh! Grandpa, you're also cheating! ”
