In the Beijing Hospital, Director Niu took the letter he received and went to Director Gao's office.

"Lao Gao, it's done! I immediately contacted Lao Sun to send things on the train! ”

Director Gao is also very happy, his promotion is basically safe now, and what Ming Dai provides them with is not something that ordinary people can get.

He said, this little girl is capable!

As soon as the husband and wife combined, they directly asked for leave in the afternoon, went home and called a donkey to ride upside down, and went to the train station with a cart of things.

The train rumbled north with the hope of the two families.

There were a few more heavy snowfalls in Liujiawan, and every family hid at home.

The eaves of the small courtyard outside the space are full of ice cubes, which sparkle in the sunlight, which is particularly beautiful.

Ming Dai was admiring it, and Zhou Sinian suddenly reached out and took one off and put it to his mouth, crunching.

Bingling shivered him and threw it up.

Ming Dai sighed: "If it's dirty, you can eat it!" ”

Zhou Sinian looked at the shiny ice cream and asked her, "Mingdai, why is this rock candy not sweet?" ”

Ming Dai pointed to the roof: "It's frozen after the snow melts, it's ice, it's not rock sugar, of course it's not sweet." ”

Zhou Sinian was a little disappointed and threw away the melted ice in his hand.

Ming Dai looked at the ice cubes and remembered the ice cellar in the cellar.

There is a refrigerator in her space, there is no shortage of ice, and she can adjust the temperature of the space at will, and the ice is a matter of minutes.

But these are not convenient to take out and use in the summer.

In the summer, when you are busy with farming, no matter who you are, you will be involved in rice planting or harvesting tasks, and it is not too refreshing to have a sip of an ice-cold drink at that time.

In order to be able to drink cold drinks in the summer, Ming Dai plans to take advantage of this time to get some ice and put it in the ice cellar.

Ming Dai cleaned the ice cellar in the cellar, took the pestering dog Zhou Sinian, went to the captain's house to borrow a flatbed truck, and went to the Yudai River to pick ice.

After hearing her words, the captain was very surprised: "We don't know that there is an ice cellar in that cellar, and it costs a lot of money to build an ice cellar!" ”

Ming Dai nodded: "We also found it by accident, so while there is ice, we want to save some and try it." When it's summer, it's just the right time to relieve the heat. ”

The captain nodded: "This is good, it is inconvenient for you to use a board car, use a climbing plow, and bring the horse with you." ”

Ming Dai looked at the horses that had been trying to hide themselves since they came, and nodded, "It's okay." ”

Liu Dazhu immediately got up and greeted the sons in the house: "The eldest child, the second child, the third child!" Come out, set up a climbing plow, and go ice picking with Lao Tzu!! ”

Mindai: Why do I feel like you're so excited?!

"Captain, you go too, we can't get so much ice!"

Liu Dazhu rubbed his hands: "What's that, Xiao Mingzhiqing, let's pick more, wait until summer to give the village some ice, okay?" ”

Ming Dai thought that the more ice, the better the effect of the ice cellar, she and Zhou Sinian had never done it, it was best for someone to help, so she nodded and agreed.

"Okay!"

The Liu brothers brought a large climbing plough from the backyard, led the horse out and tied it to the front.

Zhou Sinian curiously touched the climbing plow, and the three brothers and the horse trembled!

After cleaning up, Aunt Huang scolded and came out with cotton gloves: "How old are you, you can't walk when you see ice, you still think you are young!" A few of you look at your dad a little bit, and hurry back when you're done! ”

Liu Dazhu listened with a smile, not angry at all.

Aunt Huang turned her face to Ming Dai: "They old men go up to pick ice, so don't stretch out your hand, you know?" What should I do if I fall into the little girl's family? ”

Ming Dai hurriedly agreed.

Liu Dazhu sat on the climbing plow, and the others climbed up one after another, Zhou Sinian was a little excited, and he was not honest when he sat up, Ming Dai held him down.

With a flick of the whip, the horse ran up, and the plough followed very smoothly.

Liu Dazhu's technique is good, and he is very dexterous in climbing the plow and turning.

When I got out of the village, the speed immediately increased.

It was the first time for Ming Dai to sit on the plow, looking at the speeding scenery, and shouted to Liu Dazhu: "Uncle Captain, this speed is much faster than the carriage!" ”

Liu Dazhu shook his whip and laughed: "Yes, the carriage will not be easy to go in the next weather, and you will have to travel by climbing plow in the future, and you can go to the county seat to ride the climbing plow much faster!" ”

Mingdai nodded, it was indeed more convenient, but it was also colder, she closed her mouth and stopped talking.

Zhou Sinian felt this feeling of speed, his heart swelled with excitement, and when he closed his eyes, he seemed to be able to see the scene of himself speeding through the ice and snow.

He opened his eyes and said to Mingdai: "Mingdai, let's make a climbing plow too, I'll pull you!" ”

Mingdai shook her head funny: "We won't do it, we can't do it, when we do it, the snow season will pass!" ”

Zhou Sinian frowned, a little disappointed.

The three brothers of the Liu family on the side, you look at me, I look at you.

Finally, Liu Laifu spoke: "What, we have a small climbing plow at home, which can be lent to you to play." ”

Zhou Sinian immediately looked at him, his eyes burning, and he wanted.

Mingdai tugged at his sleeve: "Brother Liu, don't you use it?" ”

Liu Laifu avoided Zhou Sinian's gaze: "That is a dog climbing a plow, which was done when my grandfather was there, and now there is no dog at home, so I have kept it." ”

Ming Dai looked at Zhou Sinian: "You heard, we don't have a dog at home, we can't pull it." ”

Zhou Sinian's eyes flashed: "We have, I want it!" ”

Mingdai has a headache, where is the dog in the house? It's getting harder and harder to manage!

Zhou Sinian looked directly at Liu Laifu: "I want that climbing plow!" ”

Mindai: What kind of bandit is this!

The three brothers of the Liu family nodded wildly: "Here you go!" Here you go! It's all for you! ”

Ming Dai: 。。。。。。

Well, if you're happy.

Zhou Sinian was happy and put on the red turban that was crooked by the wind.

The three brothers of the Liu family also breathed a sigh of relief, since Zhou Sinian shaved the horse's tail hair in front of them, the three brothers of the Liu family have a greater shadow on him!

You have to give him everything you want!

The plough was indeed very fast, and in a short time they reached the Yudai River.

The Yudai River branches from the main trunk of the Songjiang River and winds along the county seat of Yudai County towards Daqing Mountain, forming a bend in Liujiawan.

This side of the river is also the widest.

Now the ice on the riverside has frozen, but the one in the center of the river is not enough, and you will have to wait until the year before you can pass the car.

Liu Dazhu chose an area to pick ice, and after parking the sled, he beckoned everyone to get off the car.

The tools are also brought by Liu Dazhu, a special tool for ice mining.

"Xiao Mingzhiqing, don't look at us who are poor now, when we go forward, this season, every family will pick ice and go home to make ice lanterns, and if the ice lamps are good, the family will prosper! Now there are only fishing grounds, and they will collect ice in the winter. ”

Ming Dai smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble Uncle Captain today!" ”

Liu Dazhu said with a smile: "It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome, I've been picking ice with my father since I was a child, and I have ready-made tools, which is very convenient!" The ice has to be picked in a place where the water flow is gentle, so we have to go a little further. ”

After speaking, he beckoned the three brothers of the Liu family to follow him.

Ming Dai and Zhou Sinian also followed, and they were very curious about this artificial way of ice mining.

The ice on the shore was already very thick, and there was no discomfort when walking on it, except for being a little slippery.

Liu Dazhu chose a place and took his son to start drawing lines, staggered horizontally and vertically, like a chessboard.

Liu Dazhu and the four of them took the chisel and chiseled it along the line, so that the ice cubes on the upper layer were separated, and the lower ones were still together.

After the long chiseling line, the ice surface was divided into large squares.

Liu Dazhu rested for a while, took his sons to insert the chisel along the chiseled line, and then the four of them took the hammer and smashed it down at the same time.

"Bang bang bang!"

The sound of the hammer falling sounded on the ice, and there was a cracking sound in the ice beneath his feet, and large squares broke away and floated on the ice.

Zhou Sinian looked at it for a while, stepped forward and snatched the hammer from Liu Laifa's hand.

Liu Laifa looked at his father with a bitter face, Liu Dazhu was playing energetically, and he didn't have time to pay attention to him.

Mingdai walked over and looked.

Zhou Sinian followed Liu Dazhu's appearance, put the chisel away, and smashed it down together.

"Bang bang bang!!"

"Click, click, click!"

For a moment, everyone on the ice didn't dare to move, and they all looked at Zhou Sinian who raised the sledgehammer.

How much strength do you have!!

"Don't move!"

Ming Dai stopped Zhou Sinian from continuing to hammer down, and looked at Liu Dazhu: "Captain, do you want to stop?" ”

Liu Dazhu swallowed his saliva and looked at his feet: "It's okay, it's not cracked, I just can't hammer like this anymore." ”

Ming Dai nodded hurriedly and asked Zhou Sinian to return the hammer to Liu Laifa.

Zhou Sinian reluctantly handed over the hammer and bared his teeth at Liu Lai.

Liu Laifa took the hammer and ran away, and continued to work after he was far away.

Ming Dai pulled Zhou Sinian to stand aside and watch, listening to Liu Dazhu singing the trumpet of ice picking, and the three brothers of the Liu family followed Yinghe, which was more interesting than the folk performance they watched in the previous life.

After all the ice cubes were pryed, Liu Dazhu took out a few long hooks and sent one for each person.

Zhou Sinian's strength was exerted, he threw out a long hook and inserted it into the top of the ice cube, and Liu Dazhu hooked the other corners and pulled up together.

As long as the ice cube enters the ice, it is easy to handle, and it can be pushed directly to the shore, Ming Dai held down the plank, and they pushed the ice cube up.

Only three blocks of ice can be transported at a time.

Liu Dazhu took them back and opened the cellar of Ming Dai's house, the ice cellar had been cleaned up, and the ice could be put directly.

There is a wooden slide in the cellar itself, which I don't know what it was for, but it has been kept all the time, and now it is just in use.

Slide down the ice and pry along the planks to the ice cellar.

Luckily, it wasn't the time when the ice was at its thickest, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to figure it out.

More than a dozen pieces of ice, all of which they got into the ice cellar after a day of picking.

The captain was paralyzed from exhaustion and sat in the courtyard of Ming Dai's house.

Ming Dai boiled ginger tea for everyone to keep warm.

Liu Dazhu looked at the entrance of the ice cellar and asked Ming Dai: "Xiao Ming Zhiqing, you know medical skills, do you know what snake venom is?" Now that there is an ice cellar in our village, can I apply? ”

Ming Dai was stunned: "The antivenom you are talking about?" It's hard to apply for this, and most big hospitals don't have it. ”

Liu Dazhu was a little disappointed: "That's it." ”

Ming Dai wondered how he knew that antivenom was not yet fully popular.

Liu Dazhu took a cigarette pouch and smashed it: "Last year, two children in our village were bitten by snakes when they were playing in the mountains, and the snake medicine didn't work, so we were sent to the county hospital urgently, one doll was gone before it arrived, and the other was delivered, and the hospital said it couldn't be cured, there was no serum, and it was gone."

In these years, it is not easy to feed one doll, and two dolls hurt to death.

There are not many poisonous snakes in the mountains, occasionally one or two, but the dolls like to run up the mountain in the summer, and I thought it would be nice if I could apply for one. ”

Ming Dai looked at Liu Dazhu in the smoke and felt that Liujiawan was lucky to have a captain like him.

"I can't get this one, but I have a good snake medicine prescription, I made it before spring comes, and it should work well."

Liu Dazhu became happy and looked at Ming Dai: "I have to be sharp-eyed, and I will select you from the educated youth at once." ”

Ming Dai smiled, and didn't debunk it, and the captain was quite disgusted with her at that time.

In the evening, Zhou Sinian pried a piece of ice from the ice cellar and gave it to Ming Dai: "Ming Dai, I want to eat rock candy, ice sugar." ”

You've got an idea!

Ming Dai asked him to put the ice down: "You are still taking medicine and taking a medicinal bath, so don't take such cold things." Rock candy is not made of ice, I'll make you a rock sugar gourd when I'm free. ”

Zhou Sinian immediately put the ice in the sink, looked at Ming Dai with burning eyes, and followed her ass around.

"Rock sugar gourd!?

What is a rock sugar gourd?!

Is it tasty?!

When are you free?!

Can't you do it when you don't have time!?

Mingdai, I want to eat rock sugar gourd。。。。。。 ”

Mindai: I want to poison him, really!
