Chapter 122: Dragon Boat Festival
It's getting hotter and hotter. Li Chen wiped his sweat, "It's almost the Dragon Boat Festival, it's strange if it's not hot." Little Tiger sweats like rain.
"Uncle, it's so hot, don't go to physical education class." The puppy begged for mercy, it was time to rest, and they were getting ready for physical education class, "It's hot, you don't have an appetite, you don't eat at all, what's the matter?" Li Chen replied with a smile.
'I really want to eat ice. Fat Ball stuck out his tongue, "In winter, if you can save a few pieces of ice, then you won't be afraid in summer." ''It's not that easy to store ice.' The big head complained, 'How expensive ice is, do you know?' It's not a big family that stores ice somewhere, and it costs a lot to take ice and store it. "Otherwise, let's go buy some food, and let's pool the money, and have a good idea." ', Ergou suggested. Ah Xiang is hot and doesn't want to say anything.
'Let's cancel today's physical education class and change it to tomorrow morning, and now we will start indoor class.' Li Chen didn't agree to it just now, but after not long in class, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, Li Chen had to move the class, but, even if he went indoors, the house was still hot, and Li Chen felt that he had miscalculated.
There are a lot of trees in Elysium, but I was in a hurry, and I felt that the light was blocked, and the classroom needed good lighting, so there was no shade here, and the result was fine in winter, but it was hot in summer.
'How did you survive such a hot day before?' Why are they all so unmotivated? ’,
'It wasn't so hot before, and when it's really hot, there are plenty of places to hide from the sun. Xiaohu replied, "In the past, when we were begging for food, we all liked summer, because it was hot in summer, and many people would give us food if they couldn't finish it, and when it was so hot now, we would find a place to shade." ’
By the way, I still like summer compared to winter. Fat Ball muttered, Li Chen laughed silently, he was really a beggar for three years, and the emperor was too lazy to do it.
'Okay, don't look so useless, but it's just ice?' Just get a little bit of it. Li Chen smiled and said, "Uncle, do you want to buy ice?" When Fat Ball heard this, he immediately came to his senses, "Ice is very expensive." The big head objected.
'It's good to buy less, Uncle has given us pocket money and wages, let's buy some ourselves.' After Ergou finished speaking, he felt that it was not hot, and he was about to get up and buy ice.
'Don't be bored, I said ice, who said to buy ice.' As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes widened, Xiaohu looked up at the weather, shook his head, uncle, this is for the hot weather, and the brain is not good.
'Uncle, are you too hot to make ice in the summer?' Ah Xiang said worriedly, "Uncle, the ice is too expensive, let's just take a shower." The big head thought that Li Chen was going to buy ice for them, saying that he did it himself. Although everyone's reaction was different, they were still convinced, and the puppy was quite convinced, "Uncle said yes, I will definitely be able to get it." ’
"Okay, Uncle Zuo will show you, let's go to the street and buy something first." ', ice-making, as a traverser, can't make ice, he should have jumped into the sea a long time ago, Li Chen regretted why he didn't think of it earlier, but it's not too late to think about it now.
Thinking of ice, Li Chen's smile was even greater, it seems that Bliss should be better. If you can make ice yourself, you can launch a lot of cool ice products, and you can also make a lot of ice as a cooling tool, although it was originally designed, Li Chen considered the problem of cooling off, but it would be better to use ice to strengthen a little, especially in the box, this is for the use of distinguished guests, put some ice, and the grade will be higher.
'Hmph, my aunt will help you bully others. Xiaohong said this, but her expression was very excited. Now Li Chen is shopping with Xiaohong.
Since he decided to make ice, Li Chen went to the street to buy materials, and then he tried to invite Xiaohong to go out for a walk, but Xiaohong refused, saying that she still had to serve her lady. But she was sold by Yang Er, and she was immediately driven out by Yang Er, saying that the Dragon Boat Festival had arrived, and she asked her to help buy some things, and then asked Li Chen to help get them. Of course, Li Chen said yes.
'Come and buy, come and buy, high-end atmosphere on the grade of Jiang Xin Mirror, authentic Yangzhou Jiang Xin Mirror, new arrival today, big girl and little daughter-in-law, come and buy Jiang Xin Mirror today. ', 'Jiang Xinjing? Is it famous? Li Chen asked Xiaohongdao.
'Jiang Xinjing, probably arrived with the tribute boat. Xiaohong was obviously interested in Jiang Xinjing, and pulled Li Chen towards that place, "Jiang Xinjing, as the name suggests, is a mirror cast in Jiang Xin." This explanation is really simple and clear, Li Chen rolled his eyes.
The so-called Jiangxin mirror is a mirror built in Jiangxin, this is nonsense... Well, Jiang Xinjing has a background. Mirror caster Lu Hui is a well-known mirror casting expert in Yangzhou, he polishes out the mirror, very bright, no clearly visible, so very famous.
One day, when he was casting the mirror, an old man came to him, claiming to be a dragon protector who could create a real dragon mirror. He entered the furnace chamber and retreated for three days. When he opened the door three days later, the old man was gone, leaving only a poem, "The coiling dragon cage is hidden in the mirror." There are elephants in the field, endless changes, clouds and fog, rain and wind. ’
Lu Hui suddenly realized that this was the help of the gods, and he moved the mirror casting furnace to a big boat. On the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month, they came to the heart of the Yangtze River and began to cast mirrors. At first, the sky was clear, the wind was beautiful, and at noon, when the mirror was being cast, suddenly the river set off a big wave, and the white wave was monstrous, accompanied by a huge dragon moan. It can be heard within a radius of hundreds of miles, and many people say that since ancient times, there has been no such fantastic scene.
'Hmph, don't believe it, it's not the most magical, it's even more amazing. Xiaohong looked at Li Chen's expression that you were deceiving, and she was so angry that she hid her feet.
A few years later, there was a great drought in Qinzhong, and some Taoists cast spells, and as a result, the back of the mirror was decorated with a dragon pattern, and the mouth was white. The hall must be full of rain. A major drought was thus resolved. For this kind of thing, Li Chen is all hehe.
Yangzhou Mirror was already very famous, and after this matter spread, Jiang Xinjing became even more famous. At this time, Xiaohong had already pulled Li Chen to the front of the store. The front of the store is crowded with people, but unfortunately, I see more and buy less.
Li Chen pulled Xiaohong, relying on the tall and big horses, and squeezed to the front. I saw that on the stall, there were a few bright and dangling bronze mirrors. The mirror is not big, but it is crystal dazzling, there are several mirrors that are turned away from people, and they are engraved with which year and which month, cast in Yangzhou Yangtze River. Of course, the coiled dragon ornament is not visible, but there are gossip symbols.
'Doctor, how much is this mirror?' Seeing that Xiaohong looked very wanted, Li Chen planned to buy it.
'No, it's expensive. Xiao Hong pulled him to get his hands on it, "This is not a hundred refining mirrors, it is about sixty or seventy refinements, it is not worth it." ’
'This lady, although her name is Jiang Xinjing, is less than 100 refining, but it is also a real 70 refining, and this price is definitely worth it. The doctor was very honest and tried his best to sell, Li Chen wanted to ask, is there a difference in how many practices? But I still didn't ask.
'Let's go buy something else.' Xiaohong turned around and pulled Li Chen out of the crowd, and the doctor showed a regretful expression, this Jiang Xin mirror is rare, and the Dragon Boat Festival needs to hang some evil spirits, and the mirror is also very suitable, but helplessly, this Jiang Xin mirror is not something that ordinary people can afford.
"Send me one side to Elysium, no, three sides." Just when the doctor regretted it, Li Chen whispered, and the doctor showed an expression of understanding.
'What else do you want to buy?' After walking out of the crowd, Li Chen asked, "If you want to buy more, just follow me." Rather, what are you going to buy? ’
I'll just buy the same thing, what I need most in the summer, buy yours first. Li Chen wants to buy saltpeter to make ice. However, he didn't plan to buy a lot, he planned to buy some samples, do some experiments for the children, and then have them delivered to the store.
'These are all Dragon Boat Festival needs? Li Chen followed Xiaohong, ran a lot of stores, and bought a lot of things, "Of course, this is like a sword is Changpu, this is wormwood, pomegranate flowers, garlic, and dragon boat grass." These are to be hung on the door. ’
I'm going to make the rice dumplings in a while. ''No, I told the kitchen, and they'll make some to try out.'' ''That's what you need to do with realgar wine.'' ''Realgar wine, hehe, Xiaohong, you drink it, don't be a snake spirit, you won't, you're not called Xiaoqing.... ', grass... Li Chen was suddenly struck by lightning and froze.
'What snake spirit, Xiaoqingde?' Xiaohong looked at Li Chen strangely, and found that Li Chen was stunned, and pulled him, "What's wrong with you." ''I'm a pig's head.'' Li Chen's inner cow is full of faces, Dragon Boat Festival, how to forget the legend of the White Snake, it should be in response to the scene, what is more appropriate than the legend of the White Snake, didn't Bai Suzhen drink the realgar wine during the Dragon Boat Festival before showing its original form?
'Next time. Li Chen was depressed, although it is not impossible to launch a speech, but it is better to launch it with a drama together, no... Maybe we can warm up and launch a drama next year. No, the Tang Dynasty doesn't have any copyright, in case it is said well this year, and it is imitated next year, and the White Snake is directly passed out of the drama, it is to shoot yourself in the foot.
'I think of a story about the Dragon Boat Festival, the snake spirit appeared, and I'll tell you another day. Li Chen hadn't decided what to do, so he changed the topic first, "This store really doesn't know how to do business." Li Chen pretended to pout in disdain.
If it were me, I would sell all these materials for the Dragon Boat Festival together, so that people don't have to run around, and they will buy them all at once here." ''How can this be, there are rules for what can be sold in each line.'' It's the rule of trade. ’
'Rules. Li Chen was a little disdainful, all the rules are broken by others, just try it, isn't there a grocery seller in Paradise?
'Uncle, there is an old monk waiting for you. Li Chen had just sent Xiaohong back and returned home with some purchased materials, and Ergou told him such a thing
'Bhikkhu? Is it **** that things are good?
