Chapter 31 The Ice Cellar
On the second day, Mrs. Lin had to personally prepare an annual gift for the Qin family. She directly took one hundred catties of fruit wine, 50 yuan for soap, 50 yuan for improved fragrant soap specially used for bathing, ten chickens and ducks each, I cut a large box of some cold-resistant vegetables grown in the backyard, a screen embroidered by Zhao’s sisters-in-law, six medium-sized fox fur scarves for men and women, and an ancient book written by the old man himself, reading to Qin Zhou. Useful.

There are also some miscellaneous special products and the like, which can fill a large car, so I won’t go into details one by one.

Dai Qingyun looked at the New Year gifts piled up in the yard, thought about it, and decided to write a letter to Qin Zhou.

Probably meant to ask him how his body was like. Although Dai Qingyun was only 11 years old after the new year, there was still a difference between men and women, so the letter should not be too kind.

Since the last time, I don't know how Qin Zhou has been doing recently. Dai Qingyun sighed slightly, and always wanted to thank him in person. I can only ask him to have dinner after the year. After thinking about it, I added the year after the letter. Invite him to have dinner at Chunfenglou.

At noon, Dai Zhili and Niu Changcai drove to the county to give the New Year gifts.

The female family members of the Dai family all sat around in the main room making dumplings and glutinous rice balls.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, the New Year’s goods must be prepared in advance, such as dumplings, glutinous rice balls, meat tofu, meatballs, fried crispy meat, etc. It takes several days to make these things. Lin said that this is a different New Year for Dai’s family, and it must be hot Noisy.

Dalang Saburo and others who were on vacation were busy writing couplets and blessings, and gave a copy to everyone in the village who couldn't write.

After making dumplings for a while, Dai Qingyun felt a little cold, and felt uncomfortable while roasting on charcoal fire.

"I'm afraid you have caught a cold, Li Yun, go to the kitchen and make some ginger soup." Lin touched Dai Qingyun's forehead worriedly, and was relieved to find that there was no fever.

Li Yun hurriedly put down the dumplings in his hand and went to the kitchen.

"Grandma, it's okay, maybe it's just that I didn't sleep well." Dai Qingyun covered his hands and touched his ears, "It's just a sudden chill, not like catching a cold."

"It's very cold this year, so we'll have to drink some ginger soup later." Lin was a little worried, and looked at the heavy snow that had been falling outside, "This year, it's snowing non-stop, and the north side may have a hard time."

Sun is also a little worried. Her natal family is the farthest away from Feng County. Although it is also a county in Huai'an Prefecture, it is also close to Qingzhou, which belongs to the northern border. Many years ago, it was also hit by snowstorms, and her natal family was also affected. Affected, most of the houses in the village were crushed, and some people died. The weather this year is very similar to that time.

Seeing Sun's worry, Mrs. Qian comforted, "Don't scare yourself, there must be countermeasures for the abnormal weather this year, or you can write a letter first and go back and ask."

"The third daughter-in-law is right. You should write a letter and go back to ask about it. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, but don't let the snow make it difficult." Mrs. Lin stopped what she was doing and looked at Mrs. Sun. , "Take some more things and send them over."

"Thank you, mother." Sun's eyes were slightly red, and her natal family's gift was sent at the beginning of the month, and her mother-in-law wanted to make up for her natal family.

After a while, Li Yun came with ginger soup, and everyone in the Dai family shared a bowl to drink.

"This place was just swept this morning, and it was padded again so quickly." Mrs. Zhao took a plate of dumplings to the yard to freeze, looking at the thick layer of snow on the ground, a little annoyed, and shouted to the kitchen, "Come on quickly." Sweep the yard."

Mrs. Niu and Mrs. Zhang who were making noodles in the kitchen quickly took the broom and came out to sweep the floor.

Mrs. Zhao patted the snow on her body when she returned to the main room, "I'm freezing to death. I saw those dumplings were frozen into ice cubes in a short while."

After hearing this, Dai Qingyun looked at Mrs. Zhao fiercely, "What are you talking about, auntie?"

Mrs. Zhao was dumbfounded by the question, and repeated it again.

Dai Qingyun was a little excited, why didn't she expect it!It was Mrs. Zhao who reminded her that no one seems to store ice cubes in this era!
At least when the weather was so hot in Huai'an Prefecture, I never heard of ice cubes.

Isn't this another good business opportunity!
Dai Qingyun was agitated, and then calmed down and thought about it. It is indeed possible to dig a cellar to store ice, but the amount of work is huge, and construction needs to be started immediately. Where did so much money come from? !
"Yun'er, what's wrong with you, what are you thinking?" Dai Qingrong shook her hand in front of her.

"Ah, it's all right." Dai Qingyun came back to his senses and smiled at everyone.

Dai Qingyun furtively gave Erlang a glance at the table next to him.

Erlang understood immediately, this girl must have some other evil idea.

The two of them left the main room calmly, and went to the place where the soap was placed in the backyard.

"It's so cold, tell me what idea you have come up with again." Erlang stomped his feet, wondering why Yun'er was carrying everyone behind his back.

Dadai Qingyun smiled mysteriously, "Second brother, is there no one in our Xuan Dynasty to store ice?"

"Store ice? What do you mean?" Erlang looked at her suspiciously, "You mean to store ice in winter and use it in summer? How is it possible, won't it all melt in summer?"

Dai Qingyun laughed, God helped me, she was worried that the money came too slowly, so she discovered this method.

"Second brother! Your boss' dream is not far away." Dai Qingyun patted him on the shoulder, and then told him what he thought.

Erlang didn't respond for a long time after listening, "This... can this be done?"

Dai Qingyun raised his eyebrows, "You don't believe it?"

Erlang waved his hand, "It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that I've never heard of this method."

"It's right if you haven't heard of it, believe me." Dai Qingyun couldn't help smiling, "I decided to cooperate with the Qin family!"

"This, the Qin family is indeed suitable, but will they be willing?" Erlang was a little worried, after all, it would cost a lot of money to build a cellar according to the scale Yuner said.

"It depends on human efforts. I think Mr. Qin has this vision." Dai Qingyun's idea was something she had thought over and over again. First, the Qin family was rich, and second, their family was of good character. Dedicating concubines in the palace to the royal family is only good for the Qin family and the Dai family.

The two discussed it again, and decided to write to the Qin family immediately and discuss with them tomorrow.

Dai Qingyun wrote a letter, and Erlang went to the county immediately.

"Yun'er, what are you guys doing? Where is Erlang going in this cold weather?" Mrs. Zhao looked at Dai Qingyun in puzzlement when she saw her son hastily got into the car and went out.

Dai Qingyun chuckled, "Don't worry, auntie, it's a good thing." Right now, I can't tell the Dai family that if the Qin family disagrees, this idea can only be shelved temporarily, and it can be implemented after earning more money next year.

Over the past few months, Mrs. Zhao has discovered that Dai Qingyun has a lot of ideas, so she doesn't ask any more questions.

At night, Erlang came back.

Before Mrs. Zhao could ask, Dai Qingyun hurried to the door and looked at Erlang expectantly.

Seeing Yun'er in such a hurry, Erlang couldn't help laughing, "You are also in a hurry."

"Second brother, tell me what's going on, why did you come back so late." Dai Qingyun held Erlang's arm tightly.

Erlang nodded, "When we arrived at Qin's house, I told him what I wanted to do. Master Qin took me to the study. After he read the letter, he chatted with me for a while before I came back."

"It means that Master Qin agreed?" Dai Qingyun jumped up happily, she knew that the Qin family would definitely be willing.

"Yun'er, you two come in quickly." Lin looked at the two talking in the yard speechlessly, "I don't know what charades you are trying to hide from us."

Erlang and Dai Qingyun entered the room, looking at everyone's puzzled eyes, Dai Qingyun finally explained the reason.

After a while, everyone in the Dai family listened, and looked at me and you, all a little dazed.

"Yun'er, you mean, this method can save more than half of the ice cubes in summer?" After thinking about it, the old man asked solemnly.

Dai Qingyun nodded, "Yes, as long as it is stored properly, most of the ice can be left in summer."

"Will this method really work?" Dai Zhixiao couldn't help worrying, his daughter had a lot of ideas, of course he was happy, but this time it's not wine making, building an ice cellar would take time, effort and money, if it doesn't work, Yun'er...

"Father, don't worry. Their family has been in business for many years. If Mr. Qin thinks this method won't work, he won't let me go tomorrow." Dai Qingyun held his hand. She knew it was because she was worried about her. Little things.

"I think it will work. When the ice cellar is opened in summer, we will know whether this method will work. Even if it does not work, don't be afraid. Your father and I will support you." Lin swept around the people in the room, "Yun'er just be bold Do it, grandma, and support you."

Dai Qingyun was a little moved, she also knew that this method would be questioned by everyone, but she did not expect Lin to trust her unconditionally.

"Grandma, don't worry, Yun'er will not let you down."

"You girl, when have you let us down?" Lin said calmly, and reached out to stroke her hair.

After hearing Lin's words, everyone came to their senses. That's right, since they came to Stone Village, hasn't it been Yuner who has led them to make money!
Immediately everyone agreed, anyway, the family is not short of money at the moment, even if they fail to open the ice cellar in summer, they will still have money to pay for it at that time.

Back in the room, Dai Qingyun took a pen and paper to draw the blueprint of the cellar, and wrote down in detail the things needed for ice storage.

After writing three sheets of paper eloquently, Dai Qingyun picked up the paper, dried it gently, checked it again, and then washed and went to bed.

After breakfast the next day, Dai Qingyun rushed to the county with the drawings and Erlang.

When they passed by Qinghe, the two went to Qin's house after looking at the freezing condition of the river.

The concierge saw the two get out of the car and immediately took them to the study.

In the study, Qin Zhou was practicing calligraphy. When he looked up, he saw Dai Qingyun coming in. Today, she was wearing a blue embroidered skirt and a circle of white hair on the cape of the same color, which made her very cute and cute.

"Young Master Qin." Dai Qingyun was in a particularly good mood today, and greeted Qin Zhou with a smile. The two dimples on his face were particularly obvious with this smile.

Qin Zhou paused with his right hand, his face still expressionless, "Well, please sit down, both of you."

Dai Qingyun was sitting on a chair beside him, and just after taking a sip of tea, Master Qin came.

"Master Qin, Mrs. Qin."

The two brothers and sisters hurriedly got up to salute.

"It's been so long, and you're still called so unfamiliar, you can just call me uncle and aunt." Mrs. Qin said angrily.

The two couples sat opposite Dai Qingyun's brother and sister, and the servants served hot tea and left.

Dai Qingyun and Erlang looked at each other, and called uncle and aunt again.

Mrs. Qin covered her mouth and smiled, "Really, don't call me Mrs. Madam next time."

Master Qin Qin Yu also nodded, "Now that our two families have contacts, there is no need to be polite."

Dai Qingyun took out the drawings with a smile and handed them to them, "Uncle and Auntie, these are the drawings I drew in a hurry yesterday. It's a bit sloppy, please don't blame me."

Qin Yu and his wife hurriedly took the drawing and looked at it carefully, and then handed it to Qin Zhou after reading it.

"Girl Yun'er, your idea is really good, but Auntie wants to ask, why did you come to us for such a good idea." Mrs. Qin looked at Dai Qingyun with a smile. It's that easy.

Dai Qingyun smiled back, "Aunt Qin, I'm not afraid of your jokes. Our family can't afford so much money for the time being. The most important thing is that I think the best way is to cooperate with you."

"Besides, I also want to use this method to repay Young Master Qin. Without him, Yun'er might be doomed."
