In the street market in Keelung, a group of people were strolling around, but it was Lu Ren who was personally taking Murong Ziying and Tuoba Yu'er to go shopping. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Although Mangjia New Town has been established, and Luren is also turning the administrative center to Mangjia, Mangjia New Town is after all a new urban area that has only taken shape in the past two years, and the degree of development is naturally much worse than the old city of Keelung, which has been counted for ten years. So at present, if you want to talk about shopping and joining in the fun, it is better to be in Keelung.

And Murong Ziying and Tuoba Yu'er, these two goods were just the heads of the two small tribes in the Xianbei nomads in the north at that time, to paraphrase a big vernacular, they were two standard soil buns, and at that time, the Central Plains had never been to a better or more prosperous city, and suddenly they arrived on the streets of Keelung, which Lu Ren had painstakingly operated for many years, and directly looked at the eyes of these two soil buns. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they are now dizzy, wishing that their eyes were full of their whole body, for fear of missing that little bit of something.

After walking for a while, Murong Ziying couldn't help but sigh: "Although I have long known that the Chinese Han soil is competing with the heavens, it is not until I see it with my own eyes today that I understand what a frog at the bottom of the well is. Is Luyizhou, the Central Plains region also the same scenery as yours? ”

Lu Ren shook his head: "That's not it." In the inland part of the Central Plains, a good city will be more prosperous and more populous than my small Keelung city, but a bad city or region ......."

Speaking of this, Lu Ren sighed: "Since the Han Dynasty lost government and the world was in turmoil, there have been wars and chaos in various parts of the Central Plains, and many places have been thousands of miles without roosters crowing and dry bones in the fields. And my small Yizhou is just doing my best in the troubled times to build a comfortable nest for some displaced people who have suffered from the war. ”

Murong Ziying was stunned when she heard this, and then hesitated for a moment before saying, "Actually, the Central Plains Han soil is still very good......

Lu Ren waved his hand: "What a chrysanthemum!?" It is said that as Hermes-Epitek, I should not expose my shortcomings in my family, but in life, if I can't face up to my own shortcomings, I will become arrogant and arrogant. On the other hand, it is precisely because I know what the people in the troubled times need most that I can build this small Yizhou in my hands into a bit of prosperity, which can make everyone's faces smile more and have more vitality on their bodies. ”

Murong Ziying was stunned again, then pondered for a moment, and then bowed to Lu Ren very respectfully. However, at this time, Tuoba Yu, who was following the two of them, poked his head over, frowned and said, "What are you talking about?" Can you not speak so profoundly? I don't understand it. ”

She poked her head out, but Lu Ren looked at this Tuoba Jade with a smile. After so many years, Lu Ren still has some vision, so Lu Ren has long seen that this Tuoba Yu belongs to the kind of girl who is a little cautious, but her scheming is not very deep. And judging from the situation of the elders who have been following Tuoba Yu behind Tuoba Yu nervously, I am afraid that Tuoba Yu is the standard little princess in their clan, and it is these elders who really have to make up their minds about anything, but Tuoba Yu is willing to listen to it.

Looking at Tuoba Yu again, he raised his arm and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and his words were also a little complaining: "Lu Yizhou, you are fine with everything here, it's just that the weather is too hot, right?" It's almost October, it's almost winter, and it's snowing in some places in the north, but why are you still so hot here? ”

Lu Renxin said nonsense! You don't want to think I'm in the south. It's almost October, it's the end of autumn, the weather is much cooler, if you come in the middle of summer in May and June, I really don't know that although you have a little flesh on your body, but it is still a relatively tightly wrapped clothes can be worn on your body for a few minutes.

But speaking of heat, Lu Ren remembered a place to go, so he smiled and led the group to a shop in the downtown area. This shop is a small property under Lu Ren's name, but what does it sell......

"Come, Ziying, Yu'er, try our Yizhou specialty fruit shaved ice."

"Shaved ice!?"

Murong Ziying and Tuoba Yu'er, as well as their entourage, were all taken aback. As people on the northern border, they naturally saw a lot of ice and snow, but in the relatively hot south, they could see ice, which was unimaginable for them who were familiar with the characteristics of ice and snow.

Murong Ziying had read more books, and after trying the sweet and sour ice of fruit shaved ice, she saw that Tuoba Yu'er's face was puzzled, and then muttered: "As far as I know, people in the Han land who have financial resources will build an ice cellar at home, and then put the ice into the cellar to collect it when it is icy and cold in winter, and then take it out and use it in summer......"

Tuoba jade soil bun, I don't know much about these things, but I just said in a tone of twelve points of suspicion: "This ...... Can this be preserved? ”

Murong Ziying nodded and said, "That's why I like Han-Ming culture in the future, because Han-me-Epitek's wisdom is often unimaginable." But ......"

Saying that, Murong Ziying looked at Lu Ren very puzzled: "Lu Yizhou, please forgive me for being a shallow learner." I heard the boatman mention it on the ship when he came, saying that the governor of Yizhou has no winter in summer, and even in the middle of winter, it is just colder, and there is no ice and snow at all, but I don't know where the ice here in Luyi Prefecture comes from? Did it come from somewhere else by sea? ”

Lu Ren smiled. What are you kidding, bringing ice from somewhere else? Not to mention that the cost will be frighteningly high, and with the existing conditions, it must be turned into water halfway through, which is really a standard bamboo basket for water.

As for Lu Ren's ice here, to put it bluntly, it is actually made by the ice-making mechanism. With Shirley's ability, it is still a little unrealistic to think of a refrigerator for the future with the existing conditions at hand, but the original ice machine can still be made. The location of this shop is actually right next to a radio station in a downtown area, and Shirley's small steam generators can provide the corresponding electricity to this shop.

However, so far, there are only four such cold drink shops in Yizhou, three in Keelung, and one in Mangjia. There is no way, Lu Ren and Shirley are only able to supply power in a very small area of the local area, and it is already a certain limit to be able to complete these four cold drink shops. However, for Yizhou, which has no winter all year round and is often relatively hot, the people occasionally have a relatively inexpensive ice to chill a beer and drink, which is also a pleasure, so the business of the four ice shops is quite good, which is a technical advantage.

In addition, although popsicles are cheap in modern society, they were ...... People who are not very rich really can't afford it. For example, in the Tang Dynasty, it was not a very rich, powerful and powerful aristocracy, and the ice thing basically didn't even think about it. A certain poet in the Tang Dynasty also did the business of storing ice in winter and taking it out in summer because he had some family background.

In short, if it is according to the normal situation, the people of Yizhou will definitely not be able to enjoy winter ice, and after Lu Ren's ice shops are built, the price is more appropriate, so it is naturally very popular with the people of Yizhou. Lu Ren: It is not yet the time for the various factories or workshops in Keelung to get off work in the afternoon, otherwise Lu Ren and they will probably not even be able to grab a seat...... Of course, with Lu Ren's identity and the owner of the ice shop, it's no problem to get some ice in the whole room.

Tuoba Yu'er didn't think as much as Murong Ziying, and she ate up a bowl of fruit shaved ice in three times. Lu Ren also looked funny, so when he left, he deliberately made a popsicle for Tuoba Yu'er, and let her lick and play while walking.

By this time, some factories and workshops that had left work earlier had already gotten off work, and the pedestrians in the market naturally increased, and even the shops in the market were also much more lively, and some wandering vendors also appeared.

It's okay to say anything else, I have seen it just now, but Tuoba Yu's eyes were suddenly attracted by what a certain vendor was selling, and he pulled Lu Ren's sleeve and asked curiously: "Lu Yizhou, what is this?" ”

Lu Ren was happy after taking a look: "That's the rock sugar gourd, one of our Yizhou specialty snacks." Hmmm......"

The hawker was called to pay for it again, but the hawker recognized Lu Ren and refused to ask for Lu Ren's money, but Lu Ren still stuffed the money into the hawker's hand, and at the same time told the hawker: "You are a citizen of Yizhou, since you have paid taxes according to law, you have the right to enjoy reasonable things." Even if I am the lord of Yizhou, even if these are just two very cheap rock sugar gourds, I can't take advantage of you. In short, you remember that it is reasonable and legal for you to sell things, no matter who is bullying someone, you can go to the government to sue him! ”

The vendor took the money and thanked him again and then left, Murong Ziying glanced at Lu Ren thoughtfully, but did not say much. Lu Ren handed the rock sugar gourd he bought to Tuoba Yu, and Tuoba Yu was not polite, and after taking it and smelling it, he took a bite of it.

Ahem, the rock sugar gourd was supposed to be a specialty in the north, but that would have been a few years later. And Lu Ren has been selling cane sugar here for a long time, and Lu Ren himself didn't think about making such a gadget as rock sugar gourd, it was completely made by some homeless people from the north after they became familiar with sucrose, and Lu Ren could only be speechless about it.

Just as Lu Ren always said, even if he has the ability, he is always just one person, and in many aspects, where can he compare with the collective wisdom of the people? In fact, not only rock sugar gourds, but also many, many gadgets and new gadgets in Yizhou are made up by the people themselves, and they have nothing to do with Lu Ren. (To be continued.) )
