Lu Yu rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment: "Perhaps... for singles, we are really scary?"
Pfft... Liang Xuanzi burst out laughing at this sentence. She gently raised her hand and gave Lu Yu a slap: "Don't say that when you get down there. I'm only twenty-two, so I'm still young."
"I understand, do you want to change clothes? And... the ice sculpture museum, it should be very cold inside, right?"
"I'm going to get some clothes..." Before Lu Yu could finish his words, Liang Xuanzi quickly ran into the bedroom and walked out after ten minutes with a big bag in hand. It contained all the things she and Lu Yu might need next. clothes to wear.
Looking at this big bag of clothes, Lu Yu opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. Forget it, my wife likes it, so just take it with me. I have a car anyway, so it's not a big deal to leave it there.
Quan Dang took his clothes and went on a trip.
Eight forty in the morning.
Lu Yu held Liang Xuanzi's hand and followed Man Yingsi into the largest ice sculpture hall in Hulun City.
It can be seen that ice sculpture, as a special industry in the Northeast, has great appeal, even surpassing the traditional art of duet and Yangko.
Although the morning time has just begun, the outside of the clubhouse is already densely packed with people. It is estimated that there must be no less than thousands of people.
After following Man Yingsi through the security check and entering the venue, a biting chill suddenly washed over the whole body, making everyone couldn't help but shiver, even Man Yingsi was no exception.
"That's how it is here. In order to ensure the long-term preservation of these ice sculptures, the temperature will always be constant at minus fifteen degrees. This is the minimum temperature requirement for the existence of ice sculptures. Beyond this temperature, even if it is still below zero, the ice sculptures may still melt. , so...Boss, I want to ask, how did you two come up with the idea of coming here wearing down jackets?"
That's right, when she got off the bus, Man Yingsi only saw Lu Yu holding a bag in his hand and wearing the same clothes he usually wears. Why did she just go over to check the ticket, and when they came back, the two of them put on their down jackets? Put it on?
Lu Yu looked at her with a half-smile but not a smile. Although he didn't answer, Man Yingsi couldn't help but shiver and quickly smiled timidly: "Well...it's okay, boss, let's go, I'll take you now." And going to see the ice sculptures…”
The venue here is a huge square covering an area of more than 5,000 square meters. The number of ice sculpture booths alone exceeds 500. However, because it is not the peak tourist season, the booths here are not full. , Lu Yu took a rough look and found that it was probably only about one-half, or even less.
These ice sculptures come in many shapes, including animals, plants, buildings, and people. The most attractive one is a huge ice sculpture in the shape of the Qianqing Palace placed on the middle booth.
"This was created by an ice sculpture master in the 1970s in three years. The height of the ice sculpture is 187 centimeters, the length is 366 centimeters, and the width is 229 centimeters. It is almost made according to the dry The scale of the Qing Palace has been completely reduced, and the lines on the top of the ice sculpture are clearly visible. Because the completeness is too high, the leaders above requested that it be preserved as permanently as possible. After all, this can be regarded as our national treasure..."
Man Yingsi proudly explained it to Lu Yu and Liang Xuanzi. People who didn't know it thought she was the one who carved the ice sculpture.
Liang Xuanzi was completely attracted by the ice sculpture in front of her. She wished she could get into it. She couldn't hide the amazement and excitement in her eyes.
Seeing that the tourists around her were taking pictures with their mobile phones, she quickly took out her mobile phone and took two photos. She felt that it was not good, so she simply recorded the video.
Unlike Liang Xuanzi, Lu Yu's expression looked a little weird at this time. About ten seconds later, he came to Man Yingsi's side and said softly: "You just said that this ice sculpture was made in the 1970s. Is it carved? In other words, this ice sculpture has existed for at least fifty years?"
Manying was confused, but she nodded: "Yes, look, there is an introduction over there."
Lu Yu nodded clearly, then looked at Liang Xuanzi, with a nice curve at the corner of his mouth, and then continued: "I heard that the ice sculpture hall here has equipment and equipment specifically for tourists to use. Materials, right?”
Man Yingsi's eyes widened instantly: "Boss...are you planning to carve the ice sculpture yourself? This..."
Liang Xuanzi was also attracted by Lu Yu's words and looked at Lu Yu with curiosity. She didn't know what Lu Yu was thinking about, carving?
Does your husband do this?
Lu Yu waved his hand: "Just tell me if you have it!"
"This...is..." Man Yingsi opened her mouth: "But...boss, ice sculpture is difficult, and the materials here need to be purchased with your own money...Okay, I will take you boss there now..."
Lu Yu nodded with satisfaction, raised his hand and patted her shoulder: "It's okay, your boss still has a few pieces of ice."
Man Yingsi: "???"
Did I mean that?
On the northeast side of the venue, there is a huge ice sculpture factory. Thirty percent of the ice sculptures in the domestic ice sculpture market come from here, and the other 70% are distributed in the three northeastern provinces.
However, there are not many people working at this time, and there are even only three machines working. After all, as the weather is getting hotter and hotter, the orders in the ice sculpture market are basically at zero, and the demand is limited to the three northern provinces and Over there with the furry bear in the north.
Walking into the engraving factory, Man Yingsi's face became more confused: "Boss, let me confirm again, do you really want to do it yourself?"
Lu Yu chuckled: "We are already here, how can we still fake it?"
Liang Xuanzi held Lu Yu's hand. She had completely forgotten about Lu Yu's cruelty to her in the morning. Hmm... As for what Lu Yu had to deal with at night?
Ha, what night did he not get beaten?
Seeing that Lu Yu couldn't be persuaded, Man Ying simply gave up the idea of persuading him and led the two of them to a cutting machine: "Boss, please wait for me here for a while, and I'll call the person in charge here. "
After saying that, without waiting for Lu Yu to respond, he ran away.
After looking at Man Yingsi's back and making sure that she couldn't hear the sound from here, Liang Xuanzi looked at Lu Yu curiously: "Husband, what are you going to carve?"
"Don't you already know if the carving is done? Now, it's a secret!"
Lu Yu smiled and pinched her face.
Liang Xuanzi shook her head cutely and pouted angrily: "Don't pinch my face anymore, it's already so big. Humph, I will become ugly by then and you won't want me anymore. What should I do?"
Lu Yu was amused by her words and couldn't help but pinch again: "It would be better if you pinch it bigger. When you become ugly, no one will want you and you won't run away. How good is it?" "
"Hmph~" Liang Xuanzi turned her head away proudly, not looking at Lu Yu, but she couldn't hide the upward curve of the corners of her mouth.
While the two were chatting and laughing, Man Yingsi led a man in his forties over: "Boss, this is the person in charge here, Mr. Wang Long. If you need anything, you can tell him. For example, if you need How big is the material, what kind of machinery is needed, etc.”
"Hello, Mr. Lu, my name is Wang Long. I'm glad to serve you!"
Wang Long also smiled and stretched out his hand.
Lu Yu chuckled and shook hands: "Mr. Wang, can you provide me with a piece of material that is 1.7 meters high and 50 centimeters long and wide? As for the machine, I don't need it. You should have a traditional engraving knife here, right? Can you? Can you let me borrow it?"
Wang Long was slightly startled, frowned and pondered for a moment, and then said: "The materials are fine, but as for the carving knives, these are the treasures of the masters here, so I can't say whether Mr. Lu can borrow them. , I need to go over and ask the masters for instructions, if Mr. Lu is not in a hurry, can I go over now?"
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Mr. Wang!"
"It's okay, we are all here to serve customers. Wait a moment, Mr. Lu!"
After Wang Long finished speaking, he nodded towards Lu Yu and the others again, and then quickly turned around and left.
at the same time.
In a secret room behind the factory that is less than fifty square meters, three old men, all at least sixty years old, are discussing over a half-finished ice sculpture.
