A few days later, it rained heavily for a whole night and the river rose.
The sun came out, but the people in the capital couldn't feel the coolness after the rain. It was a hot day.
The farmers went to check if there was any water in the fields, and the people who raised bean worms observed how many worms had been washed away by the rain last night.
The soybeans would mature in half a month. If they ate some shriveled beans, the beans wouldn't be full, so they were picked in advance and didn't wait for them to mature.
The beans that were picked belonged to the category of green beans. They were cooked for the children and sent to the restaurant if there were a lot.
The restaurant liked to buy green beans, but they didn't want shriveled beans.
Under normal circumstances, if the restaurant couldn't pay the same price as the beans, the people who grew the beans wouldn't sell them.
When the beans matured, they could be used to extract oil and make tofu by themselves.
They could use the machine used to grind wheat flour. If they didn't have it at home, they could borrow it from others.
After the soaked beans were ground out, they could go home and wrap it with gauze. They could boil the soy milk.
Or they could give some bean dregs or a piece of tofu to the people who borrowed it.
In addition, they could directly exchange beans for tofu. One jin of beans for two jin of tofu, and the tofu seller could earn a few taels of tofu.
Their craftsmanship was not good, and they couldn't compare with the Li Family Zhuangzi. One jin of beans could produce four jin of tofu.
The male eagle's injury hadn't healed, so there was ice in the cage and a basin next to it for the female eagle and the young eagle to bathe.
"It's a hot day today, so I'll give you some meat." Princess Yongmu and Li Yi fed the eagles again.
There was a small bowl with ice water in it.
Li Yi cut a piece of meat, and Princess Yongmu dipped it in ice water and fed it to the male eagle to cool down.
The female eagle and the young eagle were wet. They had just run out of the water and shook off most of the water, waiting to be fed.
"It's still not smart enough. Tomorrow, we'll go to Mount Li to avoid the summer heat and teach the young eagle how to hunt. If we keep feeding it, the young eagle will become a chicken."
Li Yi began to worry when he saw the eagerness on the young eagle's face.
Princess Yongmu didn't agree with the chicken, "The chicken can eat by itself. It chases after dragonflies, spiders, insects, and small snakes.
There are small water snails in the ditch in Zhuangzi. The chicken jumped down to eat them, and then jumped up. The children protested that the chicken eats small fish. "
"Yes, the chicken is smart. Actually, as for a place to avoid the summer heat … the area between the Wu Lie River and the Luan River is better. Unfortunately, there are no villages or towns there. "
Li Yi thought of the Mountain Resort. There was a hot spring on top of Mount Li. It was a big lake. Since it was high above sea level, it was cooler than Chang 'an and there were more trees.
Princess Yongmu thought about it carefully, but she couldn't remember where the two rivers were.
She continued to feed them, "After they go up, they will learn how to hunt. I think the female eagle is smart enough not to catch the livestock and poultry on the ground."
"Let me demonstrate. I'll throw a chicken out. No, I'll throw a live wild chicken out. Guo Ziyi will shoot an arrow and hit the target. The female eagle will understand and kill it."
Li Yi wants to say throw the chicken, but he can't react. If he tells the golden eagle that it can kill chickens, what about the chickens raised by others? Pheasants are different from chickens.
Li Longji stood behind the two of them and watched. He did not attend court today, so he had nothing to do.
He had delegated his authority. The ministers could not meddle in the battles. The Grand Chancellors did not have to meddle in the affairs of Guangzhou and Lu Zhou.
The Tan Clan of the local tribe was in charge. They took away the model of the boat, redemption coupons, fishing nets, and tools for work.
The position of Provincial Governor of Lu Zhou was vacant for now. The former Provincial Governor, Pang Renqing, had returned and was working at the canal.
Pang Renqing was greedy for the mountain people's tributes and did not teach them how to make good tools.
When the Tan Clan found out about this, they wanted to do it themselves. Li Yi gave them a series of terraced fields as compensation. Only then did Pang Renqing return alive.
There were no major matters in court. The memorials were sent over for approval. The weather was hot, so he did not go.
It was hot today. He asked the Li Family Zhuangzi to prepare mutton giblets, mutton, and mutton fat and send them to all the provinces under the control of the capital office, including those in the 20 outlying counties.
He paid for the sheep, but the Li Family Zhuangzi did not pay for the processing.
When he saw the 'husband and wife' were going to Li Mountain, he wanted to go as well.
Li Longji was thinking about how he should go. He would not be able to return tomorrow or the day after. He would only stay for a night and spend most of his time on the road.
He was thinking of an excuse to bring the ministers along when a group of people ran over to Li Mountain.
The one in the lead was Gao Lishi. There was a large group of people behind him, including the people from the Imperial Physician Bureau.
Li Longji hastily turned around and entered the house. Tao Hong and the others went up to him.
"Wu Jieyu is about to give birth. Let's look for the County Governor of Fang Qu. Yes, the County Governor of Fang Qu and Li Dongzhu." Gao Lishi remembered Li Longji's identity as the County Governor of Fang Qu.
Li Yi and Princess Yongmu, who were feeding the eagles, heard this and turned to look. A cart with a shed was pushed over. A person was lying on it, moaning softly.
"Li Lang, they said it's Wu Jieyu. She's about to give birth." Princess Yongmu did not like Wu Jieyu, but she did not want anything to happen to her.
"Someone, call the female nurses over. Let's enter the operating room and get ready to dissect." Li Yi's hands moved faster as he spoke. He cut the meat and placed it there.
Princess Yongmu hastily picked up the plate and placed it in front of the male eagle's mouth. The male eagle lowered its head slightly and bit a piece of meat. It raised its head and swallowed it, then bit another piece.
It did not feel very comfortable without ice water.
Li Yi ran into the house and took out a small gourd. He poured the ice water inside and placed one hand under the male eagle's mouth while the other poured the water.
The male eagle drank two mouthfuls. Li Yi paused for a moment.
After a few mouthfuls, 30 female nurses ran over. They were already wearing white coats, so they went in to change, wash their hands, put on gloves, and put on hats.
The shadowless lights were turned on. The male nurses went in to clean up the empty operating room, disinfected it, and ran out.
The female nurses went in to disinfect, adjust the temperature, put all kinds of equipment in place, and take out the medicine needed for learning.
Taohong and the others took over, and the others were stopped. Wu Jieyu entered the "hospital" and went to the delivery bed. She first considered natural delivery. There were tools, including forceps and sputum aspirators.
Li Yi took Princess Yongmu in. They changed their clothes and disinfected it.
Then they waited outside. If natural delivery could be done, Li Yi would not go in. No, he had to go in.
He was thinking about the historical Wu Jieyu. Gao Lishi and the palace maids and eunuchs in Wu Jieyu's palace also stayed in another room.
There was a transparent glass where they could see Li Yi and Princess Yongmu. They were not allowed to go in without disinfecting it.
The hospital's protection was layered and isolated.
Li Longji, Empress Wang, the little fellow, Li Tan, Li Dan, and Noble Consort Lu also came.
"Greetings, County Magistrate Fang Qu." Gao Lishi shouted.
The people in Wu Jieyu's palace saluted at the same time. "Greetings, County Magistrate Fang Qu."
They knew that Her Majesty was not Her Majesty now. They shouted to let Wu Jieyu inside know that Her Majesty was here.
Her Majesty did not ignore her. Her Majesty was here, so was Li Yi. If there was no other way, they could not care about the distance between men and women.
Princess Yongmu and Li Yi inside stood together, which showed their relationship.
What was wrong with the son-in-law taking care of the mother-in-law when she was sick? Shouldn't the son-in-law clean up the mess when the mother-in-law was paralyzed in bed?
Now that the mother-in-law was about to give birth, there was nothing wrong with the son-in-law knowing medical books and helping to keep the mother and child safe.
The people from the Zongzheng Temple and the Imperial Astronomer had arrived and were waiting anxiously outside.
"Get the umbrella." The little fellow saw those people in the sun and took her mother's hand to instruct the Winged Knights.
The Winged Knights immediately ran out to find umbrellas, chairs, tables, and water.
