The fish buns that were despised by Li Yi and the others had now become a delicacy for the aborigines on the island. People of high status ate them first.
They carefully grabbed a bun with their hands and blew on it. When they felt that it was not so hot, they gently dipped it in the diluted sauce.
They took a small bite and showed a happy expression. When they saw the soup and oil in the bun flowing out, they quickly sucked it.
There was a lot of fish oil in the bun, so Li Yi and the others did not like to eat it.
The Winged Knights added water to the pot. When it boiled, they put the other buns into the steamer and continued to steam.
"Li Lang, there are not many people on the island." Princess Yongmu looked at the number of people. There were hundreds of people.
"Many, probably tens of thousands. People of low status are not allowed to come. Think about it, if the Princess Yongmu of the Tang dynasty eats in the palace, can the maids and eunuchs eat at the same table? "
Li Yi talked about class, which meant that only the Li Family Zhuangzi could eat together in the cafeteria.
"No," Xiao Lan said. "Even personal servants are not allowed. Even if the princess agrees, if others see it and report it, they will be beaten to death."
"In fact, the two tuna we caught are better than other meat. It's like frozen pork, raising laying hens, and a few live pigs. It's better to eat fish."
Li Yi talked about fish. He caught two big tuna, which were not worth much. They were only valuable in the Japanese Empire under special circumstances.
It was not expensive usually. The Japanese Empire of the Tang dynasty did not eat tuna.
The people of the Tang dynasty did not eat it either. It was difficult to catch them. Fishing near the sea, the fishing nets were not strong enough.
"Is braised tuna meat better than braised pork?" Princess Yongmu asked the most important question.
Li Yi shook his head. "No, braised meat is not as good as braised pork. Well, let's continue to freeze the frozen pork and feed the live pigs. "
Li Yi admitted that braised pork was the best. Even braised beef could not compare.
"Okay!" Princess Yongmu was relieved. She was afraid that Li Yi would lie and lose her braised pork.
She reluctantly took another bite of the bun and swallowed it. "Can our yacht sail to Chang 'an?"
Hearing her question, Li Yi was stunned. After a few seconds, he suddenly shouted, "Pen and ink."
Not far away, Qing Song spat out the bun in his mouth. When he picked up the box, he placed his hand on the zipper, and the box opened as soon as it landed on the ground.
The cub didn't care about anything else and reached out to take out the inkstone and ink.
Ge Yan took out a water bottle and poured water onto the inkstone.
Huang Bai held a brush in his mouth, not caring that there was dry ink on the tip of the brush.
Qing Song brought out the paper and seals. Taohong and the others operated the box. With a few clicks, the box turned into a desk.
On the other side, the cub was slowly grinding the ink. Although its movements were slow, its speed was fast.
Li Yi came over and sat on the ground. He dipped the brush in the ink and began to write letters. He wrote ten coded letters with the same content and stamped them, "Don't stand me up. We should be able to fly back at this distance."
The four Winged Knights took Qing Song and Taohong to the kayak and paddled frantically.
The indigenous people stopped and were dumbfounded.
Especially the female leader, who was eating a bun next to him, she looked at Li Yi and said two words. Then those people quickly prepared things.
Li Yi sat there and waited, making people look at him with a guilty expression.
"Li Lang!" Princess Yongmu reached out and grabbed Li Yi's hand.
"It's not a big deal. I forgot a canal. The Yellow River yacht can reach Chang 'an, but it can't go through Hukou Waterfall. The yacht is too big and can't be towed up. It can't go through another canal either. "
Li Yi's face looked better. The Yellow River yacht was no problem, even if it was Sanmen Gorge.
"You really can't go through Hukou Waterfall?" Princess Yongmu was still looking forward to it.
"It's too heavy. It's difficult to come back in the past. It takes a lot of manpower. It's troublesome to go there once and come back again."
Li Yi pondered for a moment and realized that it was fine as long as there were more people. The aircraft carrier couldn't be towed up.
Princess Yongmu's eyes lit up, "If the yacht goes up, no one in the entire Yellow River basin will dare to say anything."
Xiao Lan agreed, "Yes, the yacht is fast and can carry many things. Li Lang, you said it yourself. It can travel 150 kilometers in half an hour. "
Li Yi looked at Xiao Lan in surprise. You're thinking about this too?
The speed of 40 knots was 74 kilometers per kilometer, and 150 kilometers per kilometer in the Tang dynasty.
300 kilometers in two hours, 3,600 kilometers in 24 hours.
The transmission speed of ten kilometers was not good, provided that the Yellow River was clear all the way. If there were any submerged reefs, it would be destroyed.
Stop the yacht at the bank of the Yellow River where Wei Rushui was connected to the Yellow River and use the man-made canal to transport things onto the yacht.
The yacht could be used to transport and defend the Hukou Waterfall. It was fast, and no one would dare to attack the Anbei Protectorate.
If they went from there to Sister Lake, the source of the Yellow River would be controlled. No one would be able to outrun the yacht.
If the yacht ran on the river, the horses on the shore wouldn't be able to catch up.
We'll set off from the same location and occupy the strategic crossing 200 kilometers away. I'll give you a head start of 50 kilometers, but I'm going to chase after you.
"Hehehehehe …" Li Yi, who was still blaming himself a moment ago, couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this. His mood instantly became better.
Not long later, ten pigeons flapped their wings and rose into the air. They started to circle in the air, and the circle they flew out gradually became larger.
After circling for about three minutes, they flew in the direction of the Tang dynasty.
Li Yi clenched his fist. The first step was successful. The pigeons knew the location.
The remaining steps required the pigeons to fly across the ocean. If there were islands along the way, the pigeons would need to replenish their food.
If they flew in a straight line, it should be Liushu, which was Taiwan. There was enough food there. It was more than 2,000 kilometers away from here.
After replenishing their food there, it would be simple. They could fly from Guangzhou to Chang 'an.
The female leader saw the birds on the big boat. She pondered for a moment and came to Li Yi's side.
Li Yi quickly picked up the tablet. What he meant was, "Tell me, are you going to ask what kind of bird it is? What's the use of it? "
The female leader tried hard to organize the vocabulary. Li Yi recorded and translated it. He found it a little complicated.
He simply used software to do it. He wrote a letter, stuffed it into a bamboo tube, and hung it on the bird's leg. The bird flew, flew, flew, flew, flew, flew through the day and night, flew over thousands of mountains and rivers.
Then, it landed in a bustling place. Someone took down the bamboo tube, took out the letter, and handed it to an important person. The important person smiled.
The female leader understood. Her eyes widened, and her expression was complicated.
She didn't know how far away the Tang dynasty was. She only knew that she had never met anyone who wore such clothes.
There were birds that could carry messages in a distance that couldn't be reached. The Tang dynasty …
"In the future, we can also raise pigeons on our island. When we bring them back, both sides can communicate with each other."
Li Yi said to the female leader. Then, he began to use the tablet to carefully translate this sentence into something that the female leader could understand.
The female leader understood. At first, she was happy. Then, she became worried. She talked to Li Yi and gestured.
Li Yi showed an image of a war on the screen. The female leader nodded.
Li Yi waved his hand and changed the image. The people on the island wore beautiful clothes. Boats arrived one by one. Everyone ate, drank, sang, and danced together.
When bad people came, the people of the Tang dynasty helped to fight them. When big waves came, the people of the Tang dynasty helped to repair houses and sent food.
Then, the people on the island took boats to the Tang dynasty to play. Everyone was smiling.
