The live broadcast life of Lao Linzi in Northeast China

Chapter 127 One-legged donkey competition

Two angle irons, a small aluminum alloy stool, a few long screws and wooden boards, and the cost of making an ice cart only cost Li Yuan 28 yuan, which is half cheaper than the ones sold outside. Four winters.

Later, it wasn't until Li Yuan became obsessed with another kind of ice cart, that is, the one-legged donkey, which is what Li Yuan was holding in his hand, that he finally replaced the ice cart he made.

Every time Li Yuan thinks about this, he feels an unusual sense of accomplishment.

With a one-legged donkey in his hand, Li Yuan walked towards the ice, but what Li Yuan didn't expect was that he had just walked on the ice, and before he started playing, an old man stopped him.

The old man was sitting on the ice cart, looking at the one-legged donkey in Li Yuan's hands with surprise on his face, and asked with some surprise: "Young man, the one in your hand... is a one-legged donkey?"

In the live broadcast room, seeing an old man on Li's ice rink, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"What's the situation? This ice rink is so dangerous and there are old people?"

"Really, I just noticed that there seem to be quite a few more!"

"Really, one, two, three...there are more than a dozen of these old people, aren't they afraid of falling?"
"No, this old man's bones are brittle, so it's too dangerous to come on the ice, right?"

In the live broadcast room, many people were worried.

It's just that what they don't know is... In the Northeast, there are actually quite a few elderly people in their sixties among the skaters.

After all, there are few activities in the countryside. The old man feels bored after staying at home for a long time, but feels cold after walking outside for a long time.

At this time, many old people came to skate the car. It was warm and safe. After skating, they sat on the ice car and chatted with their companions, but it was much better than sleeping at home besides watching TV. up.

Li Yuan nodded.

"Well, old man, do you know him?"

The old man's expression was full of memories, and he nodded involuntarily when he saw the one-legged donkey in Li Yuan's hand.

"I know you. When I was young, I liked playing with this one-legged donkey the most. It's brisk and flexible. It's a joy to play with."

"In the beginning, the earliest ice carts evolved from snow sledges. At that time, the traffic was inconvenient, and it was easy to fall when walking on the ice in winter. Then someone discovered that using this ice cart to drag on the frozen river surface Items are more convenient.”

"Later, slowly, this ice car evolved into the toy we play now."

"In the beginning, the ice skates were ground out bit by bit with thick iron sheets!"

Back then, five or sixty years ago, ice skates were a rare item that no one had ever seen before, and the things to play at that time were far less abundant than they are now.

Boys' fun on the ice basically comes from this "one-legged donkey".

And when most boys were young, they spent the winter in the company of ice carts.Call a friend from a village, step on a one-legged donkey, and organize "catch people" together. During the chase between you and me, the cold wind blows, but it feels like the wind is running fast.

At that time, a group of children could play so much that they were reluctant to go home after dark.

The old man walked out of his memories, looked at the one-legged donkey, and asked involuntarily: "But... now this one-legged donkey is not even seen to be played by people, even if you buy it, you can't buy it, young man, what is your one-legged donkey?" Where did you buy it? Can you lend it to me?"

Li Yuan nodded.

"of course."

"But this one-legged donkey is really difficult to buy now, so I made one myself and kept it for fun."

While Li Yuan was speaking, he had already walked in front of the old man, and handed over the one-legged donkey in his hand.

Li Yuan could clearly feel that after the old man saw the one-legged donkey in his hand, his eyes were full of nostalgia.

The wooden texture, the whole body is made of mortise and tenon, and there is no nail hole. The whole body is strong and smooth. Looking at the one-legged donkey, the old man couldn't help but nod.

The old man: "Young man, did you really do this? This skill is too good."

Li Yuan: "Master, you are flattering me. I also made it as I remembered it. It's not a matter of craftsmanship."

The old man hurriedly retorted: "Hey, good is good, don't be modest. Young man, with your skill, let alone now, even when one-legged donkeys were popular, no one can make such a strong and beautiful one-legged donkey. "

But when it comes to this, the old man seems to be a little melancholy.

"Hey, but I'm old and can't play anymore. Otherwise, according to my temper back then, whether it's robbing or borrowing, I'll always try your one-legged donkey."

Studio.

"I didn't expect this uncle to be an old urchin."

"Looking at the old man talking, I think he was a famous person when he was young, haha!"

"The uncle is always praising my husband's craftsmanship, so my husband's craftsmanship must be really good!"

"I found out that the fans in this live broadcast room are really fighting for every opportunity to praise the young man of the Li family..."

"That is required!"

The old man recalled it for a while, and said with emotion: "Hey, I think we had nothing to do in winter when we were young. Adults would find a useless ice skate and make a one-legged donkey for the child. Whose child has an ice cart? , that is something to be proud of."

The old man sighed, and then returned the one-legged donkey to Li Yuan.

In the words of the old man, being able to see this toy appear has already moved his heart quite a bit. It doesn't matter whether he wants to play or not.

"Anchor, is this also an ice cart? I'm also from the Northeast, why haven't I seen this thing before?"

"I wonder too, one-legged donkey...why haven't I heard of it?"

"Seeing that this thing is still one-legged, it must be difficult to play, right?"

Li Yuan nodded.

"Actually, there are many kinds of ice carts. The most common one is the ice cart with two legs, which is the kind of ice cart that the old man was riding just now."

"People generally call the two-legged ice carts. The materials are the same as what you see. They are usually made of wood boards, wooden squares and ice skates."

"Whether the ice cart is fast or not depends on the skates. The harder and sharper the blade of the skates, the faster the speed."

"And at this time, add a pair of ice carts made of log poles, that is, on the logs, nail them in with large steel nails, and sharpen the heads of the steel nails, then this set of ice carts will be ready. .”

"And this kind of ice bike with two legs is also the simplest. You just need to sit on it and slide slowly. It is more suitable for the elderly and children to play. Of course, if you want to use the ice bike with two legs to go faster, You have to kneel on it."

"As for the other kind...the one I made myself, it's called the one-legged ice cart. In Northeast China, everyone calls it the one-legged donkey, and of course there are places where it's called the one-legged Leizi."
