Chapter 431 Heavy Snow Flies, Steam Heating
After the winter, the whole of Daqin began to snow heavily, and the temperature dropped a lot. Xianyang City was also covered with snow, a sign of auspicious snow for a good year.
In the study room of Yuxuan Pavilion, Ying Yu rocked the cradle and teased Xiao Wan'er, while looking at Xiao Xin'er who was wrapped in a small cotton ball and rolled around in the crib, she couldn't help but feel a little more smile on her face. Very smiling.
"In other families, the elder sister is more quiet, and the younger sister is naughty. You are completely reversed."
"Be careful when my sister grows up, she will laugh at you as a sister."
Ying Yu lightly scratched the nose of her eldest daughter, Xiao Xin'er.
"Yeah!"
Xiao Xin'er thought that Ying Yu was playing with her, she opened her big round eyes, showed a sweet smile, and waved her arms and legs.
"You!"
"Call me daddy, and daddy will take you out to play."
Ying Yu smiled dotingly, and helped the little guy pull down his collar that was a little bit down.
"Little Xin'er is only so old, how could she learn to speak so quickly?"
Wang Ying walked in with two bottles of freshly prepared milk powder, and smiled when she saw Ying Yu teaching her daughter to call her daddy.
"It may be that, our two little ones are very smart, maybe they learn faster than others."
"What about you, little rascal."
"Hurry up and learn to call me Daddy!"
Ying Yu patted the eldest daughter who was holding the little bear doll and was about to chew it down.
This girl is very active, she is very curious about everything she sees, and she starts to make trouble when she is not paying attention.
It is completely different from the well-behaved and quiet Xiao Wan'er.
"It's not all about your husband, you are used to it, stop making trouble, this girl will be restless again for a long time."
"It's time to feed the two little ones."
Wang Ying glared at Ying Yu angrily and said.
Other families are loving mothers and strict fathers, but when it comes to Ying Yu's side, they dote on their two daughters so much that both Wang Ying and Xiao Mei can't laugh or cry.
"The little ones are still young. When they grow up, they will naturally understand and know how to be filial to their parents, right?"
Ying Yu kissed each of the faces of the two daughters, and said with a light smile.
"Just get used to it!"
Wang Ying patted Ying Yu's hand away, and carefully nursed the little guy,
"By the way, where is Xiao Mei?"
Ying Yu asked casually.
"The steam engine from the Engineering Institute has been delivered, and Sister Xiao is arranging manpower to cooperate with the craftsmen in installing plumbing and laying thick carpets in each hall,"
"The weather is getting colder and colder now, adults are fine, but the two little guys can't be frozen."
Wang Ying replied with a smile.
Only then did Ying Yu remember that he had told him a few days ago that he asked the engineering institute to develop a central heating method so that he could better survive the cold winter.
Compared with the previous coal stove and heated kang, the heating is uniformly heated by the steam engine, and the heating delivered through the pipeline not only reduces the smell of coal, but also because it is laid in the way of plumbing pipes, it can be combined with floor heating and wall radiators. Heating is more comprehensive without dead ends.
After the trial of Yuxuan Pavilion and the Imperial Palace is successful, Ying Yu will arrange to promote it starting from Xianyang New City, so as to make the winter of Daqin people warmer.
"This is indeed a good thing, but I'm afraid there will be a lot of noise in the mansion today."
"How about our family, why don't we just go out of the city?"
Ying Yu laughed.
"Although the snow has stopped outside, the snow is still not cleared. I'm afraid it's not convenient to go out at this time!"
Wang Ying hesitated for a moment and said.
The first snowfall after the beginning of winter fell for several days in a row. The city was fine, and the snow was cleaned at any time. The snow that had accumulated for several days outside the city did not melt so easily.
"Don't forget, we have a steam car. With a shovel in front of this thing, it can be used as a snowplow. The efficiency of snowplowing is by no means comparable to that of manual labor."
"And it's okay if the snow hasn't melted, so you can ski!"
Ying Yu smiled slightly.
Before crossing, he was a native of the Northeast, so he was no stranger to skiing.
But at that time, after all, I was shy in my pocket, and I only slipped a few times occasionally, but now I don't have any worries about it.
"Well, then I'll notify the next few sisters!"
Seeing that Ying Yu was in high spirits, Wang Ying smiled and nodded.
She was originally an active character, and she was expecting childbirth, taking care of the little one, and many affairs in Yuxuan Pavilion, and she hadn't gone out for activities for a long time.
And it's rare that Ying Yu has leisure time, so naturally Wang Ying won't not accompany her.
"By the way, Qin Feng, you go to the palace and inform your father, let's have fun together."
Ying Yu smiled and ordered.
Qin Feng on the side quickly took orders, and then trotted out of Yuxuan Pavilion.
......
"Your boy called me, did you invent something new?"
The tightly packed Ying Zheng played happily with his two granddaughters for a while, before turning his head and talking to Ying Yu with a smile.
Ying Yu couldn't help laughing.
Ever since he had two little guys, Ying Zheng always teased his little granddaughter first every time he came over, and his own order has been pushed back.
"It's not a rare snow, it's Xiumu again. My son has someone build a batch of sleds. If my father is interested, I can go out of the city to go skiing and exercise."
Ying Yu laughed.
"Sled? Is it a sharp tool that you invented last year that can walk on snow?"
Ying Zheng immediately became interested.
Staying in the palace all day, even the best scenery will be boring, not to mention the first emperor Yingzheng who likes to go out.
It's just that the road was blocked by heavy snow. Even if Ying Zheng wanted to go to Hanzhong County or Sanchuan occasionally, he was blocked by the heavy snow and was quite disappointed.
The sled that Ying Yu mentioned now solved this problem.
"Exactly."
"This sled is not only a powerful tool for transportation, but it can also become a sport."
"In the cold winter season, most people stay at home, and there are not many recreational activities except playing chess and mahjong. It is better to go skiing, which can not only pass the time, but also keep fit."
"And it can also stimulate economic consumption a little bit."
Ying Yu smiled and said.
"So good!"
Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction.
As the emperor, Yingzheng naturally knew that if the people were too idle, it would not be delicious.
If you have nothing to do and have spare money on hand, you will easily drink, gamble and make trouble, causing disputes.
It's better to have a few sports events so that the people have something to do.
And it can also be used as a criterion for selection in the army.
After all, in the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, ordinary people can watch the winter at home, but the Qin army also has to patrol and guard.
The sled is undoubtedly an important means of transportation to ensure the supplies of the forward outposts and patrol in the snow.
It can be said to be a multi-tasker.
It is beneficial to the country and the people.
