Chapter 147 Confidence Among Fans on Ice

The paddy fields have been filled with water and frozen, and several paddy fields form a large ice rink.

A group of children were skating on the ice, and their laughter made people feel happy.

The three of them stood at the edge and watched, with four Taohong people standing behind them.

Yang Sixu looked at it, his eyes wandering, as if he was reminiscing, with a look of pain on his face.

Li Yi quietly observed, feeling that the other party was remembering the same year. Just when he was about to suggest going somewhere else, Yang Sixu showed a free and easy smile again.

Smiling, there were tears in his eyes.

The smile changed twice more, Yang Sixu took a deep breath, and his fierce face became gentle.

His eyes became much clearer and he said to Li Yi: "This is better, the north is better. There is ice in winter to play with."

"General Yang is right, the ice and snow in the north in winter is a gift from God to the northerners, but... as long as you are willing to spend money, you can have ice anywhere, even in the hot summer."

Li Yi knew that Yang Sixu had let go of something in his heart.

"But with saltpeter?" Yang Sixu asked with a smile.

"That's it for now. In a few years, there may be other ways to make ice. I'll work hard for three years." Li Yi set a goal for himself.

In fact, he can now replace the compressor and make ice. The most suitable method is the indirect ice making method with salt water.

But he felt that with the help of household craftsmen, technological innovation could be achieved within three years by relying on basic materials science and manufacturing science.

"Making ice fast?" Yang Sixu didn't doubt whether Li Yi could do it. Li Yi was different from others. Ordinary things would take three years.

Since Li Yi mentioned a three-year limit, it must be unusual.

"It's faster than cutting ice in the river now, and it's a hundred times cheaper than using saltpeter. By then, I will build an ice rink on Zhuangzi in the summer, and General Yang must come to play."

Li Yi told the truth. The compressor and salt water are used to make ice, which is just a small expense to the store.

At that time, water conservancy and wind power were used, and it was not expected to generate too much electricity, as long as it could support Zhuangzi's use.

"Very good, give me an ice cart and a pair of drills first." Yang Sixu watched the children playing and couldn't help but want to go out and play.

"If General Yang wants to play, there are ice skates over there." Li Yi pointed in another direction.

"What is an ice blade?" Yang Sixu had never heard of it.

"A horizontal iron piece is added under the shoe, and there are vertical iron pieces under the horizontal iron piece, one for each foot, so it can slide very quickly on the ice."

Li Yi explained the structure of the skate and walked to the other side while talking.

After about three hundred steps, we came to another ice rink. This one was bigger and divided into areas.

In the middle is an oval ice rink, but there is no one there.

A group of adults and older children were learning to stand nearby.

“There are two types of skate shoes, one is made of pigskin and is directly connected to the knife, and the other is tethered.

Wear the socks made by Zhuangzi,...

You can wear the first type. If it is another type of felt tube socks and it is difficult to take off your shoes, tie the second type.

Like me, I take off my socks and use real skates. The better the fit between my feet and shoes, the easier it will be to skate. "

Li Yi introduced, and by the way, he found a pair of skates that fit the size of his feet from a nearby shed.

Sure enough, he sat there and took off his shoes and socks, then put on his skates.

There is a slight arc in the front of the skate, but there are no teeth. It is not a figure knife, but more like a hockey knife.

The knife is relatively short and has a thick blade. It is not a knife for short track speed skating, nor is it used for road speed skating.

The speed skates he used to have at that time were detachable blades, and the heel could be temporarily separated from the skates.

It is said that the one-thousand-meter speed skating knife can be worn and dislocated a few tenths of a second faster than the one without dislocation.

The reason why he did not make the speed-skating knives at that time was because the metal smelting and processing technology was not good enough and the speed-skating knives had thin blades.

The cheapest skate blades, ranging from tens of yuan to one or two hundred yuan, were made of 50-cent coin steel at that time.

After a while, Li Yi put on his skates, swung his body gently, exerted force on his feet, and went out in a swish.

At the same time, he bent forward at a ninety-degree angle to the ice, with his legs slightly bent and his hands naturally behind his back.

No running, just skating, and the speed picked up after a few moves.

Entering the corner in the oval rink, take out the right hands behind your back and start swinging your arms, lean your body inward, and push your right foot forward.

When he entered the straight again, his arms swung back and forth, as if flying on the ice, and he jumped far away in the blink of an eye.

"The proprietor is great."

"Proprietor, stop falling."

"Wow wow wow, I also want to be like a proprietor."

The older kids at that school station started shouting.

Over there, Li Yi skated twice, and his body suddenly turned 180 degrees, and the trajectory of the skate under his feet changed, becoming a backward skating posture.

He turned his head slightly to the right, raised and stretched his right foot diagonally back, and landed on the ice. He swung his body back to the right with the force of his right foot, raised his sitting foot, touched the ice from the front to the right, and pushed the outer blade of his right skate outward. , the center of gravity shifted to the left, and the speed picked up again, but this time it was sliding backwards.

This backward skating posture looks more beautiful than skating forward.

"Okay, okay, our family is going to play this." Yang Sixu saw how easily Li Yi skated and thought he could do it too. He could do it if he climbed up.

Wang Xing didn't dare to say anything. Looking at the people standing next to him, he estimated that after putting on skates, they wouldn't be able to skate like Li Yi now.

Li Yi slid backwards, approaching where Yang Sixu was. His right foot remained unchanged, and he lifted his left foot back. He landed sideways on the ice and made a lunge. When the ice shards were flying, he stopped and stood up straight. He was so cool and unrestrained.

"Give me one, I... I'll tie it up." Yang Sixu was eager to give it a try.

Li Yi went to find shoes and protective gear for Yang Sixu, and when he came back, he asked Yang Sixu to sit on the stool.

While helping to tie his shoes, he said: "I plan to open the ice rink in a few days and rent skates. Is it a lot to pay one hundred per person per day?"

... ...

He finally revealed his purpose for building an ice rink and making skates.

"Not much." Yang Sixu supported: "For such a fun thing, our family thinks it's cheap every day."

When Li Yi put the protective gear on him, he looked at something that looked like a watermelon rind and asked, "This is..."

"The hat is made of bamboo, drilled through holes and threaded with rope to make a net to avoid falling on the head. This one is put on the elbow, this one is on the knee, and the last one is to cover the buttocks. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net

Skating is dangerous. I can treat a broken arm or leg, but a broken head...that's troublesome! I don't want to save that kind of patient. "

Li Yi put the helmet on Yang Sixu and looked around. He was satisfied that at least he would not suffer cerebral hemorrhage or concussion under normal circumstances.

"Actually, it doesn't have to be too much trouble. We can do it. We'll see if you slip." Yang Sixu was still confident.

Li Yi was scared and ran to get a pair of thick gloves for Yang Sixu to put on.

"Is this enough?" Yang Sixu was anxious. He wanted to get on the ice.

Li Yi checked it carefully again: "General Yang, please."

He stood aside, worried that Yang Sixu would crush him when he fell.

Yang Sixu put his hands on the stool, stood up, and was about to take a step...

"Hey! Hey! No, ah ah..." 'Bang! ’ Accompanied by various shouts, Yang Sixu lay on the ice.

He held his hands on the ice and tried to stand up, but he couldn't use his feet to push back and forth.

"What's happening? Come on, give me a hand." Yang Sixu simply turned over and sat on the ice, watching Li Yi stretch out his hand.

"Why did Youzhi run to the ice and sit on the ice to cool off?" At this time, a voice came from more than ten meters away.

"General Gao." Li Yi cupped his fists and saluted.

"Gao Lishi, why are you here?" Yang Sixu sat there feeling embarrassed.

"Let's come over here to make some soy sauce. There isn't much soy sauce in the palace." Gao Lishi said, walking over and pulling Yang Sixu up. He was tall.

"Didn't we just hit him the day before yesterday? Don't let go, hurry up and catch us." Yang Sixu was like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw.

Li Yi was stunned for a moment. Yes, he came here to get soy sauce just the day before yesterday, and he came to get it again today?

After thinking for a moment, he looked grateful.
