Chapter 132: Ice Making in Winter

Chapter 132: Ice Making in Winter
After leaving his master’s house, Li Jiayi walked towards Deshengmen.

As for taking the bus, forget it. I guess most people are just lying down now.

Although people can walk on the road, there are piles of snow on the road, so it is impossible to drive.

When we arrived at Deshengmen and looked outside, we saw white everywhere. It seemed that we could forget about the Pigeon Market.

Maybe someone can clean it up in a few days.

There was no way to go to Pigeon City, and there was nowhere to go in the city, so he had to go home.

This is good, as it's quite cold these days so I can do something else.

When he was still some distance away from home, Li Jiayi took out some things from the space.

About ten pounds of mutton, fourteen or fifteen pounds of beef, about ten pounds of pork fat, and four or five pounds of pork.

He walked straight through the main gate and entered the yard. He originally wanted to be seen by others, but he didn't expect that there was no one in the yard.

Yes, who would stay in the yard in such a cold day? I guess everyone except those who are at work is curled up in bed!

"Sister, open the door." There were too many things, so he could only call his elder sister Li Jiaqi to open the door.

Soon the curtain was opened, and the eldest sister Li Jiaqi appeared in front of him and said, "Come in."

"Wow! So much meat?" Second sister Li Jialin shouted in surprise.

"This isn't just from our family. There's Uncle Liao's five pounds of mutton and five pounds of beef in here, and the lard also belongs to Uncle Liao."

“That’s a lot!”

The second sister, Li Jialin, loves to eat, especially meat. The most important thing is that she eats so much meat but she doesn’t gain weight.

Isn’t it infuriating? Isn’t it just a waste of eating so much meat?
"Big sister, please put these away and hang the rest outside."

"Ok!"

The temperature in the room is too high. If the meat is left in the room for a day, it will probably go bad by the time Liao Kai comes back.

Seeing that everyone had gone to pack up, Li Jiayi returned to the room alone, locked the door from the inside and entered the space directly.

Then start scrubbing the pot, scrubbing it thoroughly without a trace of oil.

Then they started to boil water. Yes, they boiled water, and it was all spiritual spring water.

Fortunately, this spiritual spring water is inexhaustible, otherwise it would be quite troublesome.

There are more than a dozen pots of different sizes cooking at the same time!
After the water boiled, Li Jia put out the fire and then came out of the space.

"Big sister, I'm going out for a while."

If I had known this, I would not have come back. Now, I think I can’t do it at home, so I have to go out again.

"Okay, come back soon, and don't leave the city."

"Don't worry, sister. I won't leave the city. Also, I may not be back for lunch. You and my second sister can just make something to eat."

Originally, the eldest sister Li Jiaqi was not going to agree, but after thinking about it, she said, "Okay! Then go ahead! Don't forget to eat lunch."

"know."

Soon Li Jiayi arrived at the park. Yes, it was the park where he exchanged things with the teenagers in the compound.

But he didn't come here to exchange things this time, and there will be no way to exchange them in the future.

Because when he came here last Sunday, he didn't see anyone coming, but there were quite a few adults staying here.

Fortunately, he was careful and went into the woods from a remote place, hiding in the dark and listening to the adults talking.

Only then did I know that the crimes of those young men in the compound were exposed and their families found out that they had exchanged their family tickets for spicy strips.

I guess there must have been a lot of mixed doubles matches happening in the compound during 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 have gone? He just didn't come out.

He was thinking about going back to other compounds to find someone to exchange with. There were many such compounds in the imperial capital. Unexpectedly, it snowed heavily before he could take any action.

The snow on the roads outside had been cleared, but no one was clearing it in the park.

That’s right, who can take care of this place now?
But this also made him feel troubled. How could he get in?

At this moment, Li Jiayi slapped his forehead. Isn't this stupid! He has his own space!
He found a relatively secluded corner outside and began to collect snow into the space.

However, he did not collect all of them. He only collected the one hole that he could enter by bending his body.

After entering, he released some snow to block the entrance of the cave, and then walked in while collecting snow.

Feeling that he had walked about a hundred meters, Li Jiayi stopped and collected all the snow into the space.

A large open space was revealed, which could not 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 needs to do now is to freeze the spiritual spring water into ice.

The spiritual spring water, which was still steaming, had already formed 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 either. He took out all the containers that could hold water in the space.

Then take water from the pool under the space waterfall and put it outside to freeze it.

In fact, the water in this pond is all mineral water! It’s fine to drink it directly, but who would drink this when there is spiritual spring water!
I can't use it myself, but others can! These will be good things by next summer.

Time soon came to noon, and Li Jiayi also collected a lot of ice cubes into the space, some of which were spiritual spring water, and some were mineral water from the pond.

He originally planned to continue boiling it, but then he thought, doesn't he usually just drink it directly?
In this case, why burn it? So the spiritual spring water is directly put into the pot and put outside to freeze. To be honest, if you just drink ice cold water in the summer, you won't use much.

But he still plans to get more, knowing that there will be a drought starting next year.

The weather must be extremely hot, and just drinking ice water is definitely not enough.

I entered the space, ate something inside, and started working 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 had not come back yet. The factory closed at five o'clock.

It gets dark early now, and it was just five o'clock when he got home, which means that his parents had just got off work.

But at this time, my eldest and second sisters had already started cooking. Anyway, they didn’t have to go to school, so they had nothing to do at home.

If I don’t cook, do I have to wait for my mom to come back and cook?

"Little brother, why are you back so late?" Big sister Li Jiaqi asked hurriedly when she saw him come back.

"Is it late? Aren't our parents back yet?"

"Okay, we've been running around outside all day, let's go back to the house and warm up."

"Oh!"

Eldest sister Li Jiaqi went back to the kitchen to continue cooking, and 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. Only then did I feel much more comfortable.

There is no way. I am wearing a down jacket and a leather coat. I am not cold anymore, but I am hot!

It would be fine if I just stayed still, but as soon as I moved, I started sweating.

This clothing is too warm. It seems that it would be better to make a slightly thinner goose down jacket. As for this thick one, I’d better wear it when it’s the coldest.

Yes, it is not the coldest time now, at least not the coldest time this year.

Half an hour later, my parents returned home, and my dad came back pushing his bicycle.

Of course, the bicycle cannot be placed in the main room now, but has to be placed in the wing room where Li Jiayi lived before.

"Son, you didn't run around today, did you?" Li Aimin asked the first question when he entered the room.

"Look at me in this condition, can I go out for a run?" Li Jiayi said as he sat there.

Looking at Li Jiayi's autumn clothes and autumn trousers, he knew that he really couldn't run around outside, but he soon saw Li Jiayi's clothes on the hanger.

"You kid, you really can't stay still for a moment."

Seeing his father preparing to take off his clothes, Li Jiayi quickly stopped him and said, "Dad, don't take off your clothes yet. Just call Uncle Liao. I got what he wanted."

"Ah! Has it been brought back?" Li Aimin asked in surprise.

"Well! There aren't many things." Li Jiayi looked indifferent.

Seeing him like this, Li Aimin was speechless! It was snowing heavily!
Despite this, Li Aimin still went to call Liao Kai over.

"Jiayi, your dad said you got back what I wanted, is that true?"

"Uncle Liao, of course it's true, but my eldest sister has put it aside. You can ask my eldest sister."

Just at this time, the eldest sister Li Jiaqi came in from outside and said, "Uncle Liao, the things are under the eaves of the wing room, you can take them back!"

"Okay, let me see."

"Wait, Uncle Liao." Li Jiayi called him.

"Oh! Look at me, I haven't paid yet." Liao Kai said, patting his forehead.

"Uncle Liao, this is not about money. Don't you want braised beef in soy sauce? I've got ten kilograms of it. Can you help me with the sauce?"

"Hey, it's no big deal! It's still sauce anyway, leave it to me!"

"Ok!"

"By the way, plus one, how much did you buy for me in total, I'll give you the money."

"Not much, just five catties of beef and mutton, five catties of pork, and ten catties of lard."

"Hiss!" Liao Kai took a breath when he heard Li Jiayi's words. He originally thought that it would be good enough if Li Jiayi gave him a few pounds of beef, but he didn't expect that he would get so much.

"What's the matter, Uncle Liao? Do you think it's too much? It's okay. If you can't finish it, we can leave it for you to eat."

"You kid, what can you not finish? I think it's not enough! I just didn't expect you to get so much."

In this day and age, who would complain about having too many of these things? In fact, the more the better, especially in this kind of weather.

The weather in the capital is like a natural refrigerator, which can store as much as you want.

"Can you tell me how much it is?"

Li Jiayi thought for a moment and said, "Beef and mutton are 80 cents a pound, pork is one dollar, and pork fat is one dollar and a half."

Liao Kai quickly took out thirty yuan from his pocket, handed it to Li Jiayi and said, "Here you go. I'll take the things."

"Uncle Liao, wait a minute, you gave me too much."

Ten pounds of pork fat costs fifteen yuan, ten pounds of beef and mutton together costs eighty yuan, and five pounds of pork costs five yuan, a total of twenty-eight yuan.

"If there's any extra money, just consider it as your errand money. Uncle Liao can't let you work for nothing." Liao Kai waved his hand and left.
