Chapter 142 The sled leaves the city and arrives at Lijia Village
It is best to use a sled that can be pulled by two or three dogs. Use a larger one when you go out to sell pork.
When running around the city, wear a smaller one so it won’t be so conspicuous.
As soon as Li Jia chased Asheng and the others, they ran towards Deshengmen.
Asheng and the others were very fast, and they arrived at Deshengmen in about ten minutes.
Not far from Desheng Gate was the Pigeon Market, but he had no intention of going in.
When passing by, Li Jiayi glanced over there. Not to mention, there were a lot of people in Pigeon Market today.
It’s actually not that far from Deshengmen to Changping, only about 40 kilometers.
But even so, if you take a car, it will take several hours, not only because of the many stops on the road.
In addition, the roads are relatively poor, and the buses at this time are relatively slow.
Li Jiayi's sled is faster, and instead of taking a bus, he has to go to Changping County.
I went around directly from the outside. Not only was it much closer, the road was also much easier to walk.
But he still took the main road. He had no choice but to take the small road.
If some roads are not cleared, there will be no way to get there and you will have to turn back.
Not only does it waste time, it is also very troublesome.
It only took Li Jiayi more than two hours to arrive at Liucun Commune, which was more than twice as fast as taking a car.
To be honest, he was quite worried about the next road, which was the road from Liucun Commune to Lijiacun.
If the snow on the road had not moved, he would not have been able to cross. From the first snow to now, the total thickness of snow must have exceeded two meters.
If it is not cleaned up, it will be difficult for him to move forward.
He could use the space to clear a way out, but in that case, it is estimated that he would not be able to reach Lijiacun today.
And it’s very tiring! You can imagine how troublesome it is to take one step at a time.
With anxiety, Li Jiayi came to the road leading to Lijiacun. When he saw the situation on the road, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The road is open. Although there is a lot of snow on the road, there is no problem whether you are walking or passing a car.
There is no problem walking and passing cars, then there will be no problem with his sled!
Li Jia glanced at both sides of the road and found that the road seemed to have been cleared by someone.
Because the snow on both sides was too high, and the snow on the road in the middle was at most a foot thick.
It is estimated that this is the snow that fell after the heavy snowfall, and people stepped on it. The snow that fell from that heavy snowfall was definitely cleared to both sides of the road.
I just don’t know who did the cleaning. It certainly wasn’t the commune. There were so many villages in the whole commune, and it was impossible for the commune to clean them up.
The biggest possibility is that people from Lijia Village cleaned it up. But for such a big project, how many people will be needed in the village!
And this cannot be cleaned up in a day or two, it will take at least a week.
After all, it is such a long distance, which is more than ten kilometers!
I drove Asheng to Lijiacun. The distance of more than ten kilometers only took about half an hour for Asheng and the others.
Usually taking a bullock cart takes more than two hours.
As they approached Lijiacun, Li Jia began to take things out of the space.
The first is rice noodles. Although grandma’s family is not short of food, the food has not been ground into powder.
In other words, whether it is wheat or corn, it is still whole. If you want to eat it, you have to grind it out with a stone mill.
In addition to rice and noodles, Li Jiayi also brought out a lot of pork, including thirty kilograms of pork suet.
As for the sesame oil, sesame paste and sesame salt, he also took out a lot, but he did not take out the peanut oil.
Although there is a lot of space, with these thirty kilograms of pork suet, even if the uncle's family eats it together, it is impossible to finish it until the Chinese New Year.
When that time comes, he will come at least once or twice, and he will certainly not let grandma’s family run out of food!
A can of royal jelly and a can of White Rabbit toffee can hold five kilograms of toffee. You can imagine how much royal jelly can be held.
In addition, Li Jiayi also prepared a can of tea for his grandfather. This was not a can for White Rabbit toffee, but a can for cans.
That’s a lot! It’s about a pound, which is equivalent to half a month’s production.
You must know that the time in the small courtyard is the same as outside. In other words, most of the month is the time outside.
In addition to these, there are also golden chicken biscuits and white rabbit toffee that Li Jiayi brought to his cousins.
Of course, peach cakes are also indispensable, but this is for grandparents, not cousins.
In addition to these, Li Jiayi also brought some eggs, vegetables and fruits, more eggs, but less vegetables and fruits.
After all, there is no way to explain this thing. It’s easy to say if it’s less, but it’s so much at once, no one will believe it!
Even at home, when Li Jiayi goes out to get fruits and vegetables, he only takes out a little each time.
Anyway, he goes out every day and can get it back every day, so no one suspects anything.
The main reason is that his family knew that he was exchanging things with others, otherwise even if it was just a little bit, it would be hard to explain.
After taking out everything and putting it away, Li Jiayi rushed to his grandma's house.
Soon he arrived at the door of grandma's house. Li Jia stopped the sled and shouted inside: "Grandma, I'm here."
In less than two minutes, the courtyard door opened. Grandpa appeared in front of him.
"Oh! It's really you! I told your grandma that it was you who came, but your grandma still didn't believe it."
In fact, this is normal. Who would have thought that Li Jiayi would still come here when it snowed so heavily!
"Grandpa, are you feeling well?"
"Okay, you are very well. You can eat and sleep."
"By the way, come in quickly." said As soon as he saw the sled and seven big dogs, the old man froze on the spot. "Plus one! This...is this yours?" Grandpa asked, pointing to the sled and the seven big dogs.
"Yes, Grandpa, haven't you seen Asheng and the others?"
Last time Li Jiayi came alone, he brought Asheng and the others with him.
"Where did you get four big dogs again!"
Li Jiayi didn't want his family to know about the four big gray dogs for the time being, so he quickly said: "I didn't want to come here. Just ask someone to borrow a few.”
“That’s it!”
The courtyard door of my grandfather's house is a double-door type, which is relatively wide, and the sleigh can go in directly.
Getting the sled into the yard, Li Jiayi unloaded Asheng and the others from the sled.
"Oh my eldest grandson! Why are you here at this time?"
Li Jiayi had just unloaded Asheng and the others when grandma came out of the house and saw Li Jiayi quickly came up and hugged him and asked.
"Grandma, the school is on holiday now, and I have nothing to do at home, so I came over to see you and grandpa."
"It's so cold outside in this world of ice and snow!" Grandma said distressedly.
"It's not cold at all." Li Jiayi shook his head.
Although he was telling the truth, how could grandma believe it? She thought Li Jiayi said this because he was afraid that she would be worried.
"Grandma, you go inside first, and I'll take the things inside." Li Jiayi said, pointing to the things on the sled.
"What are you bringing! So many?" Grandma asked.
"It's nothing, just some rice, noodles and meat. Let's take it in first and then talk about it!"
"Okay, okay, take it in first."
Although Li Jiayi didn't want his grandparents to help, But how could it be possible to stop two old people who wanted to help their grandson.
But it was a lot faster. Li Jia took the heavy ones in and gave some of the lighter ones to his grandparents.
"Grandson! Why are there so many things?" Grandma asked looking at these things on the ground.
"Grandma, these rice noodles and pork are for you and grandpa to eat, and some of the pork suet will be shared with the uncle's family."
"What about these?" Grandma asked, pointing to the rest.
“Grandma, it’s up to you to take care of these sesame oil, sesame paste and sesame salt, but these packets of peach cakes are prepared for you and grandpa.”
“This White Rabbit toffee and biscuits It’s for my cousin and cousin, so you can keep it for yourself, Tao Su.”
“Well! Grandma knows, just do what the eldest grandson said.”
"By the way, grandma, there is also a jar of royal jelly here. This is good for your health. Please keep it and add some when you and grandpa drink water."
"Okay, okay."
< br>Li Jiayi turned his head and said to the old man : "Grandpa, these cigarettes, wine and this can of tea are for you. You have to keep them."
"Where are the tea leaves?"
Although the old man said he likes cigarettes and wine very much, But he prefers tea, and he also loves to drink tea.
Unfortunately, it is not easy to buy in the countryside. Even if you go to the supply and marketing cooperative in the commune, you may not be able to buy it.
The tea he drank was basically the jasmine tea that Li Aimin brought from the city from time to time.
People in the imperial capital prefer to drink this.
This is also the reason why Li Aimin has been drinking high-definition tea. Because he had some tea tickets, he bought jasmine tea for the old man.
High breaking does not require tickets and the price is cheaper.
"Yes, and it's good tea. You must keep it."
When he heard that it was good tea, the old man's eyes lit up a lot. For tea lovers, this is very attractive. of.
Li Jia picked up a handful of tea leaves and handed them to the old man.
The old man quickly opened it, smelled it and said, "It's really good tea. Isn't it cheap?"
"Grandpa, this didn't cost anything. I exchanged it for others. , just feel free to drink it! I will give it to you if you don’t have it anymore.”
"No, no, this much tea is enough for me to drink for a long time."
"Grandson, are you hungry?" Grandma asked at this time.
“Grandma, I ate a lot in the morning and I’m not hungry yet.”
It’s not even eleven o’clock yet! Of course he won't be hungry. Besides, there is so much food in space. If he was really hungry, he would just start eating.
Of course, this is talking about the road. Now that we are here, we cannot take things out of the space casually.
"By the way, grandpa, what's going on with the road from the village to the commune?"
"You're asking who cleared it, right?"
"Yes!" Li Jia nodded. .
“The village sent people to clean it out. After the heavy snow passed, the whole village was blocked by heavy snow. The village was worried about the children’s schooling, so they sent people to clean it out. Unfortunately, the commune school was on holiday again. It’s like saying it’s a waste of time.”
“Grandpa, this is not a waste of time.”
