Chapter 192 Wailed and complained
"Uncle Liao, this ice cannot be eaten. It is made of saltpeter and is poisonous."
"Ah! Is this thing poisonous?" Liao Kai asked in surprise.
"Uncle Liao, as long as you don't eat it, there is no problem and it is not harmful to people."
Hearing what Li Jiayi said, Liao Kai breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. ”
In fact, there is no problem even if you eat this ice. At most, you will have diarrhea. After all, this is ice frozen by lake water.
The lake water is very clean now. Of course, this is outside the city, and the place where Li Jiayi took the ice is outside the city.
When the weather was warm, Li Jiayi saw someone drinking it directly from his hand! I don't know if there are any parasites.
Then everyone chatted while eating melon seeds. Because there were ice cubes, there was no need to surround the fan.
We chatted until nine o'clock and then got ready to go to bed. Liao Kai took away a fan and then came over to move a piece of ice.
This was given to him by Li Jiayi. Of the remaining five pieces of ice, two were placed in his parents' room and two in the eldest and second sister's rooms. Li Jiayi moved one piece upstairs in a pretentious manner.
Of course, he also brought a fan.
Now that we have fans and ice, it should be very comfortable this summer.
Back in the room, Li Jia locked the door from the inside and entered the space.
Of course, the same goes for the piece of ice he brought up. It was useless and wasted outside.
Although there is a lot of ice, one or two pieces is nothing, but it is better not to waste it if possible.
After entering the space, I first did the work that I had to do every day, and collected a lot of fruits and grain.
Then Li Jiayi got a tree from the back mountain, and then dealt with the tree.
The main thing is dehydration.
Yes, Li Jiayi planned to make a few recliners, but there was no other way to make them.
If he only makes a handful, it probably won't be his share. Not to mention his parents, just the second sister is here, and it has nothing to do with him.
So it’s better to make a few more, so you don’t have to grab them when the time comes. It’s best for each member of the family to have one.
Anyway, it’s very simple for him. Just make more and less, and it takes about the same amount of time.
Half an hour later, the five recliners were ready. Li Jiayi lay on them and tried them out. They were really comfortable.
This kind of tumbler recliner was very common in later generations. Unfortunately, there was no way to make it permanent motion, otherwise it would be more comfortable.
Although it is not perpetually moving, it can be regarded as semi-perpetual moving. In his previous life, Li Jiayi wanted to buy a perpetually moving recliner, but he went to many places and could not find one.
Some said it was perpetual motion, but they were all electric. Later, I bought a semi-perpetual motion model.
What is semi-perpetual motion? It is a recliner made with the human body, which will achieve a perpetual motion effect with the person's breathing.
But the amplitude is not very big, it is just a slight shake, but it is enough.
At least you don’t have to shake it by yourself. Although the shaking is not big, it is quite comfortable.
Also, although this thing is only semi-perpetual motion, when there is no one on it, if it shakes once, it will take at least three minutes to stop.
It can be imagined that this semi-perpetual motion can be considered a success.
In order to buy this rocking chair, Li Jiayi studied for a long time! Fortunately, I did some research, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to make it now.
Even using the power of space will not work.
Unless the rocking chair has always been in the space, which is impossible, he will only enter the space at night when he sleeps.
After making the rocking chair, Li Jiayi washed himself, then took a shower, and then went back to the house to sleep.
No words for a night.
Early the next morning, Li Jiayi came out of the space. Because Little Hei Fatty and the others were coming to the house today, Li Jiayi came together earlier.
I get up at 5:30 to box, then take a shower.
It’s only seven o’clock now, so I got up half an hour earlier than usual.
The main reason is that boxing takes about an hour, and washing up and taking a shower doesn't take long.
"Hey! Son, why did you get up so early today?" asked Ye Xin, who was cooking in the kitchen when Li Jiayi came to the courtyard.
“I woke up early today, so I got up early.”
“That’s it!”
“By the way, Mom, with the fan, it’s Isn’t it cooler?”
Hearing his son ask this, Ye Xin said: "It's cooler! It's colder. I took out the thin quilt at night."
"Ah! No!"
"Why not? The wind got colder and cooler, and it got a little cold later. If you don't believe me, ask your dad!"
Li Aimin was lighting the fire. When he heard about asking him, he nodded quickly and said, "That's right, son, it's really cold in the second half of the night."
Li Jiayi scratched his head and said, "Okay, from now on in the evening Put an ice cube on it and put another one in when it gets hotter than now.”
"Yeah!"
The current weather temperature is only thirty-three or four degrees, which is far from the real hot weather.
You must know that the hottest time here in the Imperial Capital can reach thirty-eight or nine degrees!
And this is just the temperature in the air, because now the roads back are all cement pavement.
At the hottest time, the road surface temperature can reach 50 or 60 degrees, and it can be used to bake eggs without any problem.
At this time, the eldest sister also got up and seemed to have finished washing.
"Sister, is it cold at night?"
"Cold? It's not cold!"
"Uh!" Li Jiayi looked at his father in confusion. mom.
"Jia Qi, wasn't it cold when you and Jia Lin slept at night?" Ye Xin asked.
"It's not cold! It's just quite cool."
"What's going on?" Li Aimin asked doubtfully.
But Li Jiayi soon understood what was going on. The eldest sister and the second sister were young!
Young age means vitality. To put it bluntly, it means high energy and strong firepower.
Although Li Aimin and Ye Xin are only in their thirties, they don't have the firepower of children.
Let’s put it this way! If it were Li Jiayi, he wouldn't feel cold because he has more energy.
"Okay, no matter what happens, let's put less ice in our house at night."
"I know, Dad."
Li Jiayi turned his head to look at this time The eldest sister asked: "Second sister hasn't gotten up yet?"
"Hmm! I can't scream." The eldest sister smiled.
I am also helpless towards my second sister Li Jiayi. Not to mention him, not even my mother can do anything about it.
When there were no ice cubes and fans, I couldn’t wake up in the morning. Now that the room is so comfortable, it’s probably even harder to wake up.
“Forget it, let her sleep! She’s not going to school now anyway, let her eat whenever she gets up.”
“That’s the only way.”
Twenty minutes later, Ye Xin had prepared the meal. Seeing that Li Jialin had not gotten up yet, she did not call her and directly greeted her for dinner.
Today’s breakfast was okay. Although there was no meat, it was definitely nutritious. Not only did it include scrambled eggs with tomatoes, but there were also a lot of boiled eggs.
The main reason is that my parents have to take a few with them to work. There is no way. The food in the factory is not good now.
Not only are there no meat dishes, but even the staple food has been reduced a lot.
He already knew this from Liao Kai.
For example, in the morning, more than ten drawers of white flour steamed buns were steamed, but now only four or five drawers are steamed.
However, the number of steamed buns has increased a lot more than before, and now there is a limit. You can only buy two white-flour steamed buns at a time.
Even for wowotou, there are three for men and two for women. The driver can buy an extra one.
No way! Although the food shortage problem has not yet affected ordinary residents, it has already affected factories.
And Li Jiayi knew that the impact would soon reach ordinary residents.
It is estimated that at this time, the higher-ups should be having a meeting to study.
You must know that the country has spent a lot of money on this in the past three years!
We even used the only foreign exchange we had to purchase food abroad, otherwise the problem would be even more serious.
There are 7.8 billion people in the country, and many places have no harvest. If there is no relief food allocated by the state, you can imagine what the consequences will be.
It's okay in the city. Although most people don't have enough to eat, at least they can survive.
But even so, from the second half of 1961 to the first half of 1962, the price of a pound of food stamps in the imperial capital was four or five yuan on the black market.
This is the imperial capital! It's like this here, let alone other places. It's terrifying just thinking about it.
Many people have worked hard for more than ten years, but the money they have saved is not enough to buy hundreds of kilograms of food stamps.
"Mom and Dad, why don't I go and deliver food to you at noon! Don't eat in the factory."
"No, you can't deliver food to us. , Besides, if others can eat it, why can’t we eat it?”
"But I heard Uncle Liao say that the food in the cafeteria is getting worse and worse."
"Uncle Liao is right, but didn't your dad and I both bring eggs? Besides, with you With Uncle Liao here, your dad and I can still get along a little bit."
Li Aimin also said at this time: "Son! It's just a lunch meal. It doesn't matter if you eat less. No matter how bad the food is, it will be worse if I am a soldier!"
"Ah ! This..."
Yes! Both dad and mom have come from hard times. What kind of hardships have they not endured?
"Okay, I understand. I will contact the hunter later and try to send more wild boars to the woolen mill."
"That's okay. There has been no meat for a while, and the factory workers have complained. Ye Xin nodded and said.
Ye Xin is in the Publicity Department and must know more.
"Okay, I get it, I'll take some time to go there in the next two days."
"Yeah!"
Where is this? He started to complain and complain. You must know that the three-year difficult period has not yet begun!
What should I do in the future? I can’t eat enough in the factory now, but I can eat more when I go home.
If you don’t have enough to eat at home and don’t have enough to eat in the factory, it will make you more troublesome.
However, the Chinese people have a good quality department, which is to shoulder difficulties together.
When that time comes, no one will say anything, because everyone knows that there is no way to do it.
The reason why they are complaining now is because the workers think that the problem is with the factory leaders, or that the factory leaders have withheld their meals.
After finishing their meal, the parents left with their lunch boxes in their net bags. Each of them put two eggs in their lunch boxes.
With this, it’s no problem for mom and dad to eat less at lunch.
