Chapter 335 Heavy snowfall, the age of white snow
“Brother, when do you think the snow will stop?” Li Daila asked through the window, looking at the falling snow outside.
"Ask me, who am I asking!" Li Le gave Li Daila a roll of his eyes.
He is not a god, how could he know when the snow will stop.
Besides, it rained so hard that even if it stopped, there was no way to get out.
There is at least twenty centimeters of snow outside now. If it doesn't stop by dinner time, it will definitely exceed forty centimeters.
This is not the future, the weather is not that warm, even if the snow stops, it is probably impossible to melt without human intervention.
After this snowfall, it is estimated that the ditches and rivers will freeze over.
In fact, it had frozen before, but it was not that solid, and there were signs of melting when the sun came out.
But this time it will stop after the snow falls. It is estimated that people will be skating in Beihai Park tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
And this ice will last throughout the winter and will not melt until next spring.
It's freezing outside, but it's warm as spring inside.
In fact, Li Le can know. For example, before he traveled through time, he could check online to see if anything major happened this month, or whether there would be rain or snow.
However, he didn't check it. It seems that he will check it before traveling through time in the future. It will save him the same passiveness as now.
At six o'clock in the evening, the family sat at the table to eat. There were three enamel basins on the table.
One basin contained stewed chicken, another basin contained stewed pork ribs, and another basin contained seaweed and egg drop soup.
In fact, Li Le had a lot of tomatoes in his space, but it suddenly snowed and he couldn't take them out.
But tomorrow will be fine. Find time to go out tomorrow and bring it with you when you come back.
Anyway, neither the two sisters Zhao Yanran nor Ma Feng would ask.
This is because they know that Li Le has great powers. Isn't it normal to bring back some tomatoes or vegetables?
Li Le took a bowl of stewed chicken from the basin, picked up a white-flour steamed bun and ate it.
Seeing Li Le start to eat, everyone started to eat.
"Brother, if it snows for a few days, we won't be able to go out to collect waste." Ma Feng asked with a frown.
"If you can't accept it, just accept it! Our family won't be hungry even if we don't go out for a year." Li Le said nonchalantly.
"Well!"
Ma Feng didn't know what to say, because Li Le was right.
The food in the cellar alone would probably not be eaten in two years, let alone one year.
"Not only the food, but also the winter vegetables in the vegetable cellar are enough for our family to last all winter." Zhao Yanran said with a smile.
Speaking of this winter vegetable, Li Le was speechless because their family made too many.
When the winter vegetable storage began, Li Le thought about getting some back, at least to show off.
So I just bought a whole tricycle and planned to put it in the vegetable cellar for storage.
Who knew that when Li Le returned home with a large tricycle of cabbage, he found that there were four large tricycles of cabbage in the yard.
It turned out that Li Le was not the only one who bought it, Ma Feng and the four of them also bought a tricycle each.
You know, this tricycle weighs over a thousand pounds! Five carts of cabbage equals five thousand catties.
The whole winter is counted as four months, one hundred and twenty days, which means that on average, you have to eat forty pounds of cabbage every day to finish it all.
Who eats forty pounds of cabbage a day? Isn't this a joke?
Li Le finished the stewed chicken in the bowl, filled up another half bowl of pork ribs, and said: "Starting from tomorrow, our family will not eat meat. We will eat Chinese cabbage every day. We must eat cabbage in winter." over."
Of course Li Le was joking. If he only ate cabbage every day, others could bear it, but he himself couldn't bear it either!
"Ah! Brother, no!"
"Yes, brother, after eating Chinese cabbage all winter, I will probably become a Chinese cabbage."
"Yes, brother, we can also change to other dishes!"
"You still know! Since you know, why didn't you tell me when you bought cabbage?"
"Uh! This..." Ma Feng scratched his head, not knowing what to say.
In fact, he was wronged! At that time, when vegetables were being stored for the winter, everyone was rushing to buy them. Seeing this, how could he remain indifferent?
If someone else robbed them all, I would have nothing to eat this winter, so I went up to grab a tricycle without thinking about it.
Niu Shuanzhu and the three of them had the same idea as him, which led to the current result.
In fact, Li Le is almost the same, otherwise he would have bought a car!
But he was thinking that since his family had a large population, one thousand kilograms of cabbage would be enough for one winter.
For this reason, he didn't even buy radishes.
Li Le turned to look at Zhao Yanran and said, "Starting from tomorrow, you must add a cold cabbage heart to every meal."
"Okay Brother Le."
In fact, the cold cabbage heart is quite good to eat, and Li Le especially likes it.
But no matter how much you like to eat, you can’t eat it every day!
If you don’t say that the half-grown man would eat me to death, two large enamel basins of stewed chicken and ribs, plus an enamel basin of seaweed and egg drop soup, would actually make me eat everything.
Don’t forget, this doesn’t include steamed buns.
With so much food, an ordinary family of seven would probably not be able to finish it all in one day.
Of course, ordinary people don’t have such luxury. If they have these things, who would be willing to eat them all in one day?
But no matter what, Li Le and his family are really good at eating.
After eating, Zhao Yanran went to make a pot of jasmine tea.
Li Lejia has no shortage of tea, not to mention jasmine tea, Longjing tea, and Maojian tea.
And in Li Le Space, there are also a lot of good tea leaves.
However, he will not take out these tea leaves for the time being. Tea leaves are relatively easy to buy now. In a few years, it will not be easy to buy these tea leaves.
Not only do you need tickets, the main reason is that there is no place to buy them.
At this time, it is still possible to do business, and the circulation of materials is relatively easy, so there is no shortage of anything in the imperial capital.
Because merchants can transport goods from all over the country to the imperial capital for sale.
In a few years, after the planned economy is implemented, there will be no businessmen left, and by then there will be no circulation of materials.
Materials are no longer circulating, and things are sold from various places. Even if they want to transport things to the imperial capital, there is a plan.
In this case, you can buy nothing.
To give a very simple example, for example, if a thousand kilograms of Longjing tea are shipped from the West Lake, then after it is shipped, a ticket will be printed for the thousand kilograms of Longjing tea.
You can only buy it if you have a ticket. If you don’t have a ticket, it won’t be sold to you no matter how much you pay.
Under such circumstances, it is simply impossible for ordinary people to buy these things.
The family drank tea for a while and then went to rest. This is the case in this era, there are no entertainment projects.
Back in the bedroom, Li Le opened the curtains and looked out through the window. The heavy snow didn't stop yet.
"Alas! It seems that the snow will not stop for a while." Li Le said with a sigh. Zhao Yanhan came over and hugged Li Le's arm and said, "Brother Le, just stop if you don't stop. Our family is not short of food and drink."
Li Le scratched Zhao Yanhan's nose and said, "What do you know, girl! If it doesn't stop snowing, you won't be able to go out. If you don't go out, where will the meat and vegetables come from for you to eat? You can't just eat white rice and steamed buns." Bar?"
"Uh! That's right!" Zhao Yanhan scratched her head stupidly.
"Okay, let's go to bed first! It's useless to think about it now." Zhao Yanran said after making the bed.
"That's right, it's useless to think about this now. Let's think about how to exercise at night!" Li Le said mischievously.
Yes, in this era, the entertainment in the evening is in bed. Of course, this is about people with wives.
The three of them struggled for half the night and finally fell asleep.
There was nothing to say all night. The next morning, as soon as Li Le woke up, he heard shouting outside.
Li Le knew it was Ma Feng and the others without even listening.
Li Le sat up from the bed and went over to open the curtains. Sure enough, it was Ma Feng and the others shoveling snow in the yard.
Li Le frowned, because the snow had not stopped, so what was the use of shoveling the snow at this time.
But seeing the guys doing it in full swing, Li Le didn't say anything.
The two sisters Zhao Yanran have already gotten up and are probably cooking at this time.
Li Le didn't plan to go out, so he wore autumn clothes and long trousers and a coat.
After thinking about it, he put on his cotton-padded jacket again, came to the main room, opened the door curtain and came outside.
"What's wrong with you guys? It's still snowing. What's the use of shoveling snow at this time? It won't be there for a while."
"Brother, there is too much snow and it is too thick. If you don't shovel it, it will be even harder when the snow stops!"
Hearing what Ma Feng said, Li Le thought for a moment that it was true, then nodded and said, "Okay, you go ahead and shovel it! By the way, let's clean up the snow on the roof."
Li Le looked up at the roof. The snow on the roof was one foot thick. Li Le was really worried that the roof would collapse.
"Brother, don't worry! I was planning to clean the roof."
"Yeah!" Li Le nodded and said, "Be careful when cleaning the roof, don't fall."
"Okay big brother."
Then Li Le returned to the house and took off his cotton-padded jacket. The temperature in the room was at least above 16 degrees. Isn't it a joke to wear a cotton-padded jacket in the house?
After breakfast, Li Le also put on his cotton coat and went out to work with everyone.
The roof and the yard were all cleaned, and even the snow was transported to the street outside on tricycles.
Li Le wanted to transport it farther away, but the snow on the street was so thick that the tricycle couldn't pass.
So Li Le could only take a few brothers to clean up the outside of the gate.
Clear a road and pile the snow on the walls on both sides of the street.
Of course, Li Le only cleans the area in front of his house. He doesn't care about other places and has no control over them.
Everyone should sweep away the snow in front of the door, this should be what they are talking about!
Sometimes good intentions are not necessarily good things, so as long as no one asks him for help, he will never be a good person.
Fortunately, around nine o'clock in the morning, the snow finally stopped, but at this time, the thickness of the snow on the street outside had already reached above the knees.
You can imagine how big it is. In this situation, there is no way to go out, let alone collect the waste.
In fact, it’s not bad to take a few days off.
Li Le took a few brothers to clean up the roof and the courtyard.
The entire courtyard looked as if it had never snowed at all.
After cleaning up, Li Le said to Zhao Yanran: "I'm going out for a while. You just stay at home and don't go out. Besides, I might not come back for lunch."
"Yeah! Got it, go ahead!"
Li Le came out of home and quickly came to the door of the store, where he went in and bought a few bottles of wine.
It's snowing so much and the shops are open.
After coming out of the store, Li Le went straight to Uncle Guan's house.
There was such a heavy snowfall suddenly, and he didn't know whether Uncle Guan was prepared, so Li Le planned to go over and take a look.
When he was approaching Uncle Guan's house, Li Le went into an alley. When he came out, he was carrying a large piece of pork and half a bag of rice, which weighed about twenty kilograms.
"Dong dong dong!" Arriving at the door of Uncle Guan's house, Li Le went up and knocked on the door.
Soon the door opened, and Uncle Guan wrapped himself tightly.
Seeing that it was Li Le, Uncle Guan asked, "Why is it your kid?"
"I'm afraid it will snow suddenly, so you don't have any preparations here! I'll give you something."
Li Le lifted the rice and meat in his hand and let Uncle Guan take a look.
"You kid is interested, come in quickly."
The two people came into the house, and Li Le felt it. There seemed to be no difference between the inside of the house and the outside. No wonder Uncle Guan wrapped himself so tightly.
"Uncle Guan, don't you have a fire in your house?"
"The snow fell so suddenly, we were not prepared yet."
"Okay, I understand, leave this matter to me and you don't have to worry about it."
Uncle Guan still had some firewood at home, but he was afraid that he would have nowhere to get it when he ran out of it, so he didn't burn the kang.
Li Le went out and brought some firewood in, and helped Uncle Guan burn the kang.
"You brat, after you finish burning the firewood for me, I can't even cook."
"Uncle Guan, didn't I say that? Leave these to me and don't worry about it. I may not be able to deliver them to you today. After the snow on the street is cleared every day, I will send you some firewood."
Li Le's family doesn't lack these things, but briquettes are a bit troublesome, because Li Le's family doesn't burn briquettes, so they don't have them.
If you want to get briquettes for Uncle Guan, you can only buy them at the coal yard.
After the kang was heated, the temperature in the room increased a little, but only a little, so Li Le asked Uncle Guan to sit on the kang.
This way it will be much warmer and there is no need to wrap it up so tightly.
Li Le wanted Uncle Guan to live in his house, at least for one winter.
But if Uncle Guan doesn't go, Li Le can't do anything.
Yes, it’s still comfortable to live in your own home.
At noon, Li Le cooked a meal for Uncle Guan, and the two of them drank some wine.
After the meal, the two chatted for a while, and then Li Le went back. Of course, before going back, Li Le brought in some more firewood.
On the way back, Li Le saw many people clearing snow on the street. These people included people from various households, as well as people from the Military Control Commission.
PS: Please give me a monthly ticket! Asking for a monthly ticket! Thanks!
