Chapter 738: People's livelihood is getting better, and the ice is flawless
Marshmallows continue to be sold, not only for children, but also for people who see strange things and try them, and no one stipulates that marshmallows must be under the age of one to eat.
So the line separated, the children stood in two rows alone, and the adults went to the other two rows.
There are also people who are busy with work, ready to go home, passing by the candy store, hearing that such a big candy is only a penny, deciding to buy it for the children at home, and running to line up.
"Wash your hands first, or you'll throw it away if you accidentally touch it." Children in the village ask the marshmallow buyers to wash their hands.
"It's cold, are there any good clothes for the children to wear, about 100 yuan, five-year-old, male baby, and a seven-year-old female baby, yes, female baby also buys."
A person who didn't know what kind of ash he had rubbed on his body asked while washing his hands when he was lined up.
"I'll make you a marshmallow first, you can go in and see it yourself, there is a price, do you know the words? I don't know who asked inside. The child pointed to the next place, where children's clothes were sold.
"My clothes ......," the other man smiled sheepishly.
"You have to go somewhere else to sell your clothes, and children can't wear them." The child shakes his head.
"I said my clothes were dirty, and I heard that the people who went in to buy clothes for my children were rich people. Hey, hey, hey! The man scratched his head.
"Rich people? Can there be money in the palace and Xiaqiu Village? In our eyes, all people are the same, poor. As long as you don't wipe your clothes with your children's clothes, you can go in and turn around. β
The child smiled, he knew what the other party meant just now, and he was afraid that he would be disliked if he was not dressed well.
"Cheng, I'll go to see the clothes first, and then come back to get the marshmallows." The man laughed and turned to the door.
After a quarter of an hour or so, the man came out, carrying two papier-mΓ’chΓ© bags.
He looked inside and stood up: "Okay, ninety-eight wen, all ninety-eight wen, the same, the same as boys and children." β
"Give you two marshmallows, one in each hand, otherwise they will stick together, and it will be troublesome to divide them when you go home." The child handed the marshmallow over.
"Yes, yes! It's the first time I've entered such a store, and I've recently taken over a job and made a lot of money, so it's not cold! Adults can do it, but children can't! Hey, hey, hey, hey......"
The man took the marshmallow and talked about the situation again, smiling sheepishly.
"Yes! Recently, I heard from everyone that the work is easy to do, and the New Year is not worried. Walk slowly, don't drop things. The child chimed in.
"Oops! I'm careful, it's good for the New Year. Then the man turned and left.
After another half an hour, the children quit and handed over the matter to the waiter at the candy house, who turned and went upstairs opposite.
"It's warm with a sip of wine, it's cold outside." The lieutenant greets.
"Looking like it's going to snow again, this year's wax moon is colder than the year before."
The little girl took a sip of warm rice wine and grinned, she was in Helin last winter, and she didn't know if Nanjing was cold or not.
"It's colder than last year." Zhu Li made a sound and looked at the food box at the same time, there were no extra plates and chopsticks in it.
"We'll get it ourselves." The little girl looked back at the little friends in the village, and three of them ran down.
A moment later they came back with baskets of cutlery and food, and everyone divided them and ate slowly.
"Let's see that many people are wearing short jackets sold in clothing stores, how much is a piece?" Zhu Fan looked down and paid attention to the costume.
The people do not wear robes, delay the work, all dress short, before using straw rope and hemp rope as a belt to tie outside, now use cloth, the critical moment cloth can be used as a rope, can also be unfolded.
Like filial piety, the Ming Dynasty, or the filial piety cloth of the previous dynasty is not thrown away, and it can be used to make clothes or something when you go home, or you need to stretch a quilt hood.
Therefore, the people will not use white cloth as a belt, most of the blue ones are blue, easy to dye, and indigo, which is to live with the big green leaves and the roots of the banlan.
The little girl thought about it: "Look at the size, according to the amount of cotton, the cheap forty-two wen, the expensive seventy wen."
The pants are thin and thick, and the size is generally 30 to 80, and the fabric of 80 is good.
But if they can't see the pants, they will put on another pair of pants on the outside for fear of wear.
In fact, the easiest ones to wear are the knees, buttocks, elbows, cuffs, and then the cuffs and neckline are always blackened, a layer of oil.
The design is being redesigned, and the skin is added to the outside of the places that are easy to wear, and the pig skin is good.
The sleeves of my clothes are also almost worn out, so I went back to wrap a layer and wear it for work. β
She said to look at her cuffs, but they were not dirty, because they were always washed and worn out.
The boys also look at the cuffs, they wear military coats, now look at them, take off the military coats, it's too hot, and it's heavy.
Zhu Fan looked at his military coat: "This dress is good, especially in a cold place in winter, it can be used as a mattress and quilt when sleeping, and it is not so cold when you put your hands in your sleeves."
The key is the button design of the left and right plackets, which is simply amazing, and the people in the barracks are not afraid of how the wind blows.
If it snows heavily, let's go to Xuanwu Lake to enjoy the snow? The lake does not freeze, and the snow on the shore is beautiful.
Unfortunately, it wasn't cold enough to skate on the ice like he did at the time of Kaharin. β
"Huh?" The little girl blinked: "If it snows heavily, as long as it's cold, let's pour water on a place by ourselves, not too thick, and we can slip on ice." β
"Where is the right place to pour?" Zhu Fan looked like he wanted to operate immediately.
"The place outside the village where teeth are extracted and teeth are gnashed, there is a concrete ground, flat." Another buddy gives the place.
"Cheng, I'll send someone over, pour it now, wait for the snow to freeze, even if it can only slide for an hour the next day."
Zhu Fan said that he ran to the staircase to find someone, as for the ice blades, he believed that Xiaqiu Village would make them soon, and the ice was the most important.
β¦β¦
It soon got dark, and the street lamps on a street in Xiaqiu Village were lit up, and the snowflakes changed color back and forth under the lights, one moment it was white, and the next moment it was black.
"Look at the way it looks now, tomorrow I can really skate on the ice, make an ice car, and take my younger siblings to play, they haven't played before."
Zhu Fan smiled, there were still a bunch of children in the palace, they had roller skates to play, and then there were also roller carts that slid with sticks and clubs like ice cars, and pulleys and shoes made a clattering sound.
"Four highnesses, why don't you go back to the village to eat, and Uncle Cheng and Steward Liu together? Send someone home to say something? β
The governor didn't want to stay outside, and he had to wade through the snow when the snow was heavy for a while.
So the group went directly through Xihua Gate to Donghua Gate and Chaoyang Gate into the village.
The next day, before dawn, the people of Xiaqiu Village went out to clean up the site with lights, wires, motors and other parts.
The water is poured first, and then the snow falls, and the snow behind it continues to fall, and the bottom is frozen, and the top layer of snow is uneven, and the potholes are pitted.
Take the equipment and go for a polish and then water it again.
When the water is hot, fifty or sixty degrees Celsius, it is put into a large bucket, the kind of big wooden barrel that is placed horizontally on the car, the kind that holds fireproof water and collects night incense.
Then take the pipe, and a horizontal pipe is connected under the pipe, and the top of the horizontal pipe is full of small holes, which are half-wound around the horizontal pipe with a piece of cloth and want to be dragged on the ice.
As soon as the warm water goes, it will automatically level, because there is a cloth, the water will not drip on the ice, but flow on it, and the cloth will be dragged again, and it will be flattened.
There's no need to worry about melting the ice, it's now below zero, and the freshly frozen ice has no bumps, bubbles, or cracks.
When the sun appears, it goes to that station, like a large mirror.
Not anymore today!
