Chapter 1107

In May, it is sunny in June, and the temperature in summer turns sharply after entering June.

The endless heat is blowing on the vast land of Shenzhou. Even in the Shenjing city in the northwest, everyone puts on their short shirts and shakes their fans. There are long lines in front of the ice making department's Yamen in Shenjing city to get ice for summer.

In fact, compared with the heat that seems to be on the steamer, many summer people prefer the cold winter days. Actually, because the summer heat is too hard, even if the general food materials are immersed in the deep well, they will decay within a few days. At this time, the most important thing in the whole summer is ice.

The people take good care of the ice and let it be kept for a longer time. Otherwise, if there is no ice to relieve the heat in the evening, it will be like a furnace, tossing and turning, and it is difficult to sleep.

Fortunately, after the popularity of stone statue towers this summer, ice makers in all 36 states have greatly increased their access to ice. For example, in the southern part of the country, where there is a huge demand for ice, they can also use scrolls to transport a large number of solid ice back to Tianmen pass in the northwest snow plain. After all, in the northernmost part of the eternal night, the most important thing is endless ice 。

In fact, for the people living in the vast land of Shenzhou, it is very simple to improve their sense of happiness. On a cool summer day, they can get more ice cubes every day, and their homes are cooler, which is a very happy thing.

The Department of work of Daxia is in charge of the vast land, mountains and lakes in Shenzhou, tuntian, water conservancy and transportation, craftsman engineering, etc., so the Department of ice making in Daxia is subordinate to the Ministry of work among the six departments.

Before the advent of the conveyor scroll, in fact, the work of the ice maker was not simple. It was necessary to make huge quantities of ice by using the natural low temperature in winter, and then transport it to the ice cellar under the ground for storage. After the hot summer comes, the ice maker will release it.

The area of Shenjing city is huge, so there are more than 1000 ice cellars in the city for ice storage, which are distributed in almost every corner of the city.

Near noon, the dazzling sun over the sky of Shenjing City poured down with boiling heat, accompanied by gusts of wind, sweeping up waves of rolling heat waves, and located in the central part of Shenjing City, the ice making department office is also a very busy scene.

A large number of ice making trolleys were pulled out from the bottom of the ice cellar along the long ice making road.

There is a huge room deep in the ice making department's Yamen. A large number of carts from the underground ice cellar are arranged in order. Then, though old, the sound of "let go of the gate!"

As the roar fell, several powerful men in the room began to shake the mechanism wheel in their hands, and then the roaring sound of gear rotation suddenly sounded in the room. Then the huge sharp and crisscross knife suddenly fell from the top of the room, cutting the big ice blocks on the cart below into small square ice blocks without any fancy.

These small ice cubes will be distributed to their own people in a short time. Of course, the well-off people can buy more ice blocks to relieve the summer heat on top of the daily free quota.

The cold light overflowed in the room deep in the ice making department's Yamen. After the ice block was cut by the extremely sharp knife, the sound of the old man sounded again:

"close the gate!"

With the sound falling down, the roaring sound of the mechanism rotating around the spacious room again, and in the turning sound, there is also the sound of men drinking together. After all, for releasing the gate, it is no doubt too hard to pull up such a heavy gate.

The sound of the command to release and close the brake came from a burly old man standing in the room. Although his hair was gray, the muscles of his arms under the robe were protruding outwards, which proved that his strength still could not be underestimated. Then, the old man looked at the fixed knife slowly raised above the top of his head with embarrassed eyes, and continued to open his mouth and say:

"rest film Eat lunch first. "

As soon as the words were said, the men who had been busy for the whole morning not far away breathed a sigh, and then they all jumped off the platform and walked towards the old man.

in the front of this group of men, a young man with six points similar to the old man was walking in the same big body. As he walked, he said:

"grandfather, I don't remember how many cuts I made this morning Ice, according to the daily share, should be enough? "

"It's a long way off. You don't think about what day it is today."

The rough response came from Laozi's mouth, and then he gradually took out a bowl of food from the lunch box beside him. At the same time, the voice continued to ring:

"today is the summer solstice, the most refined Yang of the year. The whole summer has to gather together to celebrate. Therefore, the ice consumption is fast. According to the experience of previous years, a large number of people will pay their own expenses this year Buy ice, so when you've finished your lunch, you need to cut some more. "

After the old man finished, he reached out of the box and took out the last dish. It was a large pot of boiled eggs. At this time, the whole table of dishes was already full of people's eyes, which was very rich.Then the young man slowly came to the table, his eyes brightened, and with a trace of excited voice came out:

"today's food is too rich, and this basket of eggs is full of food. It's very exciting to watch."

As the grandson of the old man, the young man who spoke was young, but he was full of muscles, thick eyebrows and big eyes, full of masculinity. At this time, because he had just finished his work, he was still sweating even in this extremely cool ice cellar.

However, the young man was thick and thin. After he came to the table quickly, he reached out and helped the old man put the dishes. Then the young and strong voice continued to ring:

"grandfather, I will definitely eat his five eggs later."

"Don't choke at that time. Today's summer solstice, according to our custom, is to have a rest and holiday. But you also know that it is the busiest day for our ice maker. Therefore, the full table of food is specially ordered by the empress of Baidi palace to reward us."

"Since it's a reward from my mother, I must eat more."

The young man showed a smile, and then, under the roar of laughter from the men around him, he opened an egg, threw it into his mouth and chewed it carefully.

At the same time, the officials of the ice making department were having lunch in full swing. Outside the Yamen of the ice making department in the central part of the capital city, a young man in a short shirt came slowly.

The young man's figure is about half a head higher than the rest of the Xia people. His figure is symmetrical and his face is delicate. Especially, his skin is as white as snow, and even more transparent than most of the girls in Shenjing city.

When he was walking, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he seemed to smile rather than smile. He had a very charming breath. All the passers-by on both sides looked back. On the dark road, he said: "what a beautiful young man."
