"I'll heat it up." Li Yi carried the conch to the pot gloomily.
Previously, it was done after boiling and stir-frying. Now that it was cold, he needed to fry it with oil.
It would take more than ten seconds, and it would be hard to chew.
Li Chengqi followed him. He was willing to watch Li Yi cook. He was very serious, and his movements were coordinated. Most importantly, the dishes he cooked were delicious.
"Okay, let's not talk when we go back. Let's eat first." Li Yi carried the plate.
"Fry a few more skewers of braised pork for me. I don't want those stir-fried ones." Li Chengqi saw a child eating braised pork.
The stir-fried braised pork he was referring to was black braised pork. Li Yi's braised pork was from Bin City, Hebei, and other places.
It was different. The starch and ingredients used were different.
Normally, the braised pork made by his family was black braised pork. The so-called black was not really black. It was opaque and dark in color.
However, the northeast was not considered Bin City. It referred to the braised pork in the north of Liaoning Province. It was produced by a sausage factory.
The braised pork was whiter. It was blended with the leftovers used to make sausages.
Li Family Zhuangzi made sausages. There were several types of braised pork. The ones that were fried were the leftovers of sausages.
Li Yi did not discriminate because he used to sell sausages in many places. Who discriminated against who?
However, he preferred the braised pork made with the leftovers of sausages in Harbin. When he was young, it cost a few cents per catty.
Later, it cost more than 10 cents, 20 cents … One yuan and 20 cents. They had experienced more expensive times. It was already in the Tang dynasty.
It referred to the wholesale price. He usually bought barbecued pork and never ordered braised pork or tofu skin.
Because braised pork cost more than 1 yuan per catty and tofu skin cost less than 3 yuan per catty, he would buy it at the farmers' market.
One catty of braised pork could be sold for more than 30 yuan, and one catty of tofu skin could be sold for more than 40 yuan. He would eat meat skewers.
There were many types of meat skewers. One type was wire skewers. There were 200 skewers per catty and could only be deep-fried. After deep-frying, the meat would become bigger.
One type was 40 skewers per catty and another type was 20 skewers per catty.
Later, it became 30 skewers per catty of meat. The roasted pork looked smaller, and the fried pork looked bigger.
To put it bluntly, fried meat looked bigger than roasted meat.
When he was cooking, he watched the chef make the meat transparent and cut it into shreds that were only a few times thicker than a strand of hair. He used starch and cooking wine to grab the shreds, then placed them in the oil pan and slid them open. They immediately became bigger.
Roasting is shrinking, and frying is expanding.
Li Yi fried braised beans and small meat skewers for Li Chengqi. He didn't have so many thin iron wires for binding, so he used thin bamboo skewers to thread them.
"Brother Yi, why are the meat skewers in Zhuangzi so small?" Li Chengqi looked at the skewers and felt that it was not satisfying.
"Small skewers taste the seasoning, while large skewers taste the freshness and tenderness of the meat. Children are the most sensitive to taste and are more willing to eat taste than large pieces of meat.
In theory, children shouldn't be exposed to too many strong smells too early, as that would make them picky eaters.
In fact, as people grew up, they would accept things that they didn't like to eat before.
The texture and taste didn't change. What changed was the angle from which people tasted it.
Just like the Tang dynasty's imperial court, they can't deny the overall contribution of the Tang dynasty just because of a small problem in a certain area.
At the same time, they can't ignore small areas just because they want to protect the reputation of the Tang dynasty.
In the eyes of the people, what they see is like a lump on our skin. Our whole face is good, but if there's a lump on our skin, who can ignore it? "
Li Yi talked about politics and common sense along with the topic of children eating skewers.
All major diseases developed from minor diseases. It was just that people ignored them when they were suffering from minor diseases and only paid attention to them when they were suffering from major diseases.
When the body had a minor disease, the most terrible thing was that they didn't want to admit it and didn't allow others to mention it.
This was the case for people, and it was the same for countries.
When the epidemic appeared, they lied to themselves again and again and asked others to lie with them. In the end … they still lied. The Emperor's New Clothes.
"We can't just look at the surface and ignore the point, right?" Li Chengqi understood.
"The rot of a fruit always starts from a point. A person's illness also starts from a small part.
This belongs to the dialectical materialism. For example, the blind man feels the elephant. This is called covering the surface with a point.
And it's another saying that one can tell the age of a person by seeing a leaf fall.
For the whole Tang dynasty, the bad thing is the point. You can't ignore the point just because the Tang dynasty is good as a whole. If you don't get rid of the point, the Tang dynasty will be finished.
So many problems still exist even though people are shouting about the Kaiyuan era. In the end, this era is just a castle in the air.
You have to solve the problem, even if the problem is small, but you can't solve the person who raised the problem. "
Li Yi said earnestly. He knew the situation the Tang dynasty was facing now.
The capital office and the Henan government would work together to change, but other places further away were still in chaos.
To put it bluntly, there was no census, so it couldn't be implemented.
The census was not as good as the Sui Dynasty. The reason was that the Tang dynasty couldn't do a census for so many years.
When Li Yuan got the position of emperor, the root of the disaster was already buried.
What was more wrong was that he didn't directly pass the position of crown prince to Li Shimin, who had military power.
Since then, there was the Xuanwu Gate again and again, and the harem was slaughtered again and again.
According to the history of Li Yi's time, there was no stable harem in the Tang dynasty. The emperor, women, and eunuchs took turns until the fall of the Tang dynasty.
What was the real reason? Floating!
The emperor and the ministers cared about the people's suffering. All the kindness was fake.
Li Chengqi couldn't see through history, but he understood Li Yi's words.
"Brother Yi, you still want to sink, right? I can only work on the economy. "Li Chengqi was depressed. He couldn't interfere with the government, but he could do it a little.
"In the future, the newspapers will write about the corruption of a county's officials. At the same time, they will give the people a channel to report through the newspaper.
There will be endless corrupt officials, and there will be endless selfish desires to bend the law.
Only by emphasizing time and time again and bringing up small matters in a big way can we give the people more trust and build up their faith. "
Li Yi frowned, not because of what he said, but because the conch was cold again.
Li Chengqi smiled, "Eat more garlic, don't be afraid."
Not far away, Princess Yongmu and Xiao Qin were eating steamed conches together.
The little girl's body didn't suffer any substantial damage. In terms of her mental state, Li Yi solved it in the simplest way in a few days.
She felt like someone played a game with her. The key was that she always had friends and a gentle and beautiful big sister by her side.
She even kicked bad guys with her big brother. Hmph! Bad guys deserve to be beaten. It's so fun.
"Xiao Qin, are you still worried that you will encounter ghosts when you talk?" Princess Yongmu valued the little girl the most, so the little girl was at a disadvantage.
"There are no ghosts. The Japanese Empire lied to me. He didn't even dare to move when I kicked him." Xiao Qin smiled and squinted her eyes when she talked about this.
She was very happy recently. Her family would come to see her every day and play with her for a while.
Normally, the parents of the Tang dynasty wouldn't play with a little girl like you. Princess Yongmu asked.
Xiao Qin's body and mind were fine in such an environment. The main thing was that she kicked bad guys.
Her memory was indifferent to being lied to. She only thought that Brother Dongzhu took her to beat bad guys.
In fact, in the field of medicine, it was a timely supplement for a child's hurt heart.
The child automatically chose to forget and remember that she met Li Yi. A good doctor was so awesome.
However! Li Yi's doctors couldn't do it.
