Chapter 132 Ice Making in Winter
After coming out of the master’s house, Li Jiayi walked towards Deshengmen.
As for taking the bus, don’t even think about it, I’m probably just lying around now.
Although it is said that people can walk on the road, there are heavy snowdrifts on the road, so there is no need to think about passing cars.
When I came to Deshengmen, I looked outside and saw that everything was white. It seemed that the pigeon market was out of the question.
Maybe someone will clean it up in a few days.
There is no way to go to Pigeon City, and there is nowhere to go in the city, so he has no choice but to go home.
That’s okay, it’s just that it’s cold these days and you can do something else.
While still some distance away from home, Li Jiayi took out some things from the space.
More than ten catties of mutton, fourteen to five catties of beef, ten catties of lard suet, and four to five catties of pork.
He walked directly through the main entrance and entered the courtyard. Originally, he wanted others to see him, but to his surprise, there was no one in the courtyard.
Yes, who is staying in the yard on such a cold day! I guess everyone except those who go to work are huddled under the covers!
"Sister, open the door." There were too many things, so I could only ask eldest sister Li Jiaqi to open the door.
Soon the curtain opened, and the eldest sister Li Jiaqi appeared in front of him and said: "Come in quickly."
"Wow! So much meat?" The second sister Li Jialin shouted in surprise.
"This is not just from our family, there are five pounds of mutton and five pounds of beef from Uncle Liao, and the pork suet is also Uncle Liao's."
"That's a lot!"
The second sister Li Jialin just loves to eat, especially meat. The most important thing is that she eats so much meat that she doesn't even grow any meat on her body.
You say it makes people angry or not, isn’t this eating so much meat in vain?
“Sister, you put these away and hang the rest outside.”
"Hmm!"
The temperature in the room is too high. If it is left in the room for a day, the meat will probably smell bad when Liao Kai comes back.
Seeing that everyone was tidying up, Li Jiayi returned to the room alone, locked the door from the inside and entered the space directly.
Then start brushing the pot, brushing it clean without a trace of oil.
Then they started to boil water. Yes, they boiled water, and the water they boiled was spiritual spring water.
Fortunately, this spiritual spring water is inexhaustible, otherwise it would be really troublesome.
This is a dozen large and small pots burning together!
After the water boiled, Li Jia extinguished the fire and then came out of the space.
"Sister, I'm going out for a while."
I wouldn't have come back if I had known it earlier. No, after thinking about it, I couldn't do it at home, so I had to run out again.
"Okay, come back quickly, and don't leave the city."
"Don't worry, sister, I won't go out of the city. Also, I may not come back for lunch at noon, so you and the second sister can make something to eat."
Originally the eldest sister Li Jiaqi did not plan to Agree, but thought about it and said: "Okay! Go ahead! Don't forget to eat at noon."
"I know."
Soon Li Jiayi came to the park This, yes, was the park where he exchanged things with the boys in the compound.
But he didn't come here to exchange things this time, and there was no way he could exchange them in the future.
Because when he came here last Sunday, he didn’t see anyone coming, but there were many adults staying here.
Fortunately, he kept an eye out and went into the woods from a remote place, hiding in the dark and listening to the adults talking.
I just found out that the teenagers in the compound were exposed, and their families found out that they exchanged their tickets for spicy noodles.
I guess there must have been many mixed doubles matches in the compound in those days!
Originally, people in the compound wanted to find Li Jiayi, but unfortunately he did not go.
Of course, this is what they think. How could Li Jiayi not go? He just didn't come out.
He was still thinking about going back to another compound to find someone to replace him with. Anyway, there were many compounds like this in the Imperial Capital. Unexpectedly, before he could take any action, it started to snow heavily.
The snow on the road outside has been cleared, but no one is clearing it in the park.
Yes, who cares about this place now?
But this also gave him a problem, how to get in.
At this moment, Li Jia slapped his forehead. Isn’t this stupid! You have space for yourself!
Finding a relatively secluded corner from outside, he began to collect snow into the space.
But he didn’t accept them all, he only accepted a hole that he could bend his body into.
And after entering, I released some snow to block the entrance of the cave, and just kept it in while walking in.
Feeling that he had walked almost a hundred meters, Li Jiayi stopped and took all the snow into the space.
A large open space is exposed, which cannot be seen from the outside.
At this time, he took out all the pots in the space and placed them on the ground.
Yes, these pots are filled with boiling spiritual spring water. What he has to do now is to freeze the spiritual spring water into ice.
The spiritual spring water, which was still steaming, was already covered with a thin layer of ice not long after it was taken out.
While waiting for the spiritual spring water to freeze into ice, Li Jiayi was not idle and took out all the containers that could hold water in the space.
Then he took water from the pool under the space waterfall and put it outside to freeze into ice.
Actually, the water in this pool is all mineral water! It’s okay to drink it directly, but who would drink this if there is spiritual spring water!
I can’t use it myself, but others can! This will be good stuff until next summer.
The time soon came to noon, and Li Jiayi also took in a lot of ice cubes into the space, some of which were spiritual spring water and some of which were mineral water from the pool.
Originally, he planned to continue burning it, but after thinking about it, he usually just drank it!
In this case, there is no need to burn it, so the spiritual spring water in the back is directly put into the pot and left to freeze outside. To be honest, if you just drink ice-cold water in summer, it won’t use much at all.
However, he still plans to get more, because there will be a drought starting next year.
The weather must be extremely hot, and drinking frozen water is definitely not enough.
I entered the space, ate something inside, and started working on it again.
He didn't come out of the park until it was almost dark, and this was just the beginning.
When I got home, my parents hadn’t come back yet. The factory got off work at five o’clock.
It gets dark relatively early now, and it was only five o'clock when he got home. In other words, his parents had just gotten off work at this time.
But at this time, the eldest sister and the second sister have already started cooking. Anyway, they are not going to school now, so they have nothing to do at home.
If you don't want to cook, why don't you wait for your mother to come back to cook?
"Brother, why are you back so late?" The eldest sister Li Jiaqi asked quickly when she saw him coming back.
"Is it late? My parents haven't come back yet!"
"Okay, I've been running outside all day, let's go back to the house to warm up first."
" Oh! ”
The eldest sister Li Jiaqi went back to the kitchen to continue cooking, while Li Jiayi came to the main room alone.
As soon as I entered the house, I took off my clothes, leaving only my autumn clothes and long trousers, and then I felt much more comfortable.
There is no way, wearing goose down jacket and leather jacket, it is not cold anymore, but it is hot!
It's okay if you stay still, but as soon as you move, you start to sweat.
This is because the clothes are too warm. It seems that it is better to wear a slightly thinner goose down jacket. As for this thick one, it is better to wait until the coldest time to wear it.
Yes, it’s not the coldest time yet, at least not the coldest time this year.
Half an hour later, my parents returned home, and my father came back pushing his bicycle.
Of course the bicycle cannot be placed in the main room now, but in the side room where Li Jiayi lived before.
"Son, you didn't run around today, did you?" Li Aimin asked the first thing he asked when he entered the room.
"Look at me like this, can I run outside?" Li Jiayi said while sitting there.
Looking at Li Jiayi's autumn clothes and long trousers, he really couldn't run around outside, but soon he saw the clothes Li Jiayi put on the hangers.
“You kid, you really can’t stay any longer.”
Seeing his father about to take off his clothes, Li Jiayi quickly stopped him and said, “Dad, don’t take off your clothes yet. Clothes, just call Uncle Liao. I've got what he wanted."
"Have you got it?" Li Aimin asked in surprise.
"Well! There aren't many things." Li Jiayi looked indifferent.
Seeing him like this, Li Aimin was speechless! It’s snowing heavily!
Despite this, Li Aimin still went to call Liao Kai over.
"Jiayi, your dad said you got what I wanted, is it true?"
"Uncle Liao, of course it is true, but let my eldest sister put it aside. Get up, ask my eldest sister."
Just then, eldest sister Li Jiaqi came in from outside and said, "Uncle Liao, the things are under the eaves of the wing, please take them back."
"Okay, I'll go take a look."
"Wait for Uncle Liao." Li Jiayi called him.
"Oh! Look, I haven't paid you yet." Liao Kai patted his forehead and said.
"Uncle Liao, it's not about money. Don't you want beef in sauce? I've also made ten kilograms, please help with the sauce."
"Hey, what a big deal! Anyway, more sauce or less sauce is still sauce, leave it to me.”
"Hmm!"
"By the way, plus one, I will give you the money for how much you bought me in total."
"Not much, five kilograms each of beef and mutton, and five kilograms of pork. "Ten pounds of pork fat."
"Hiss!" Hearing Li Jiayi's words, Liao Kai took a breath. Originally, he thought it would be good for Li Jiayi to get him a few kilograms of beef. I thought I had done so much.
"What's the matter, Uncle Liao, do you think it's too much? It's okay, why don't you stay at our house to eat."
"You kid, why don't you finish it all! I still think it's too little! I just didn't expect you to get so many."
In this day and age, who would think there are too many of these things! I even say the more the merrier, especially in this weather.
With the weather like this in the Imperial Capital, it is now a natural refrigerator, and it can hold as much food as you want.
"How much do you think it is?"
Li Jia thought for a while and said: "Beef and mutton are eighty cents per catty, pork is one piece, and pork suet is one yuan and five cents."
Liao Kai quickly took out thirty yuan from his pocket and handed it to Li Jiayi and said, "Here you go, I'll take the stuff."
"Uncle Liao, wait, you gave me too much."< br>
Ten pounds of pork suet costs fifteen yuan, beef and mutton together cost ten pounds and eight dollars, and five pounds of pork cost five yuan, a total of twenty-eight dollars.
"If it's too much, just treat it as your errand money. Uncle Liao can't let you work in vain." Liao Kai waved his hand and left directly.
