"Let's eat." Gao Lishi called out to everyone.
Then everyone lowered their heads and ate. They didn't say anything. They didn't want to say anything.
It wasn't because they were depressed, but because they didn't dare to ask.
A young Dongzhu could learn so many medical books. They couldn't ask too much.
The whole table suddenly became quiet. Li Yi ate slowly.
A group of people from the Imperial Medical Department came in.
"Quick, quick, there's cucumber."
"Cold spinach."
"Celery stir-fried shredded pork."
"Oh my god, is this Heaven on Earth's pickled eggplant strips? There's too much garlic in it. Is it free? "
Not everyone in the Imperial Medical Department was an imperial physician. There were different positions. For example … the herb garden workers.
The herb garden workers were new apprentices. They took care of the herb garden and identified the herbs.
Imperial physicians had high status, but apprentices had no status.
In winter, they wanted to eat vegetables, radishes, and cabbages. The more they ate, the less they ate and the more expensive they became.
When they sorted the herbs and put them in the drawers, they were thinking about the food in Zhuangzi's cafeteria.
When they finished, there were indeed a lot of vegetables.
The price of chrysanthemum flower was not low in summer. In winter, they couldn't eat it. They couldn't even find it in hot springs.
Zhuangzi's cafeteria had it. They quickly put it in.
The farmers looked and felt a little distressed, but didn't say anything.
They didn't know medicine. They couldn't expect Dongzhu to be busy for a month or two.
Steward Song De said to the group, "Don't be polite. When you leave, Zhuangzi will give you vegetables."
The apprentices were happy at first, but then lowered their heads and sighed.
They were apprentices. How could they eat cucumbers? Of course, it was for their master.
Sure enough, the imperial physicians and doctors smiled. Good, it was good to give them vegetables.
The apprentices began to eat as much as they could. Originally, there were two meals a day, one in the morning at around three in the morning, and another in the afternoon at around five in the afternoon.
In order to eat lunch in Zhuangzi, not to mention the apprentices, even the people of the Imperial Medical Department had to eat three meals a day on an empty stomach in the morning.
Now they finally had the opportunity. They didn't eat the main dishes at all. They only ate vegetables.
After eating a few mouthfuls, Yang Si Xun said to Wang Xing, "I envy you."
Wang Xing quivered, his mouth moved as he whispered, "Ming, next year, I'll be in charge of the Imperial, Imperial Plantation, planting greenhouses."
Li Yi sighed inwardly. What are you afraid of? Is he going to eat you? How much did you give him? If he dares to switch, I will immediately terminate the cooperation.
Thinking about this, Li Yi said to Yang Si Xun, "General Yang, I have a presumptuous request."
"Speak." Yang Sixun looked at Li Yi.
"Many of the vegetables in the greenhouse don't look good. I'm annoyed by them. I wonder if I can ask Supervisor Wang to send them to the palace. General, please help me find a place to bury them."
Li Yi was very sincere when he said this. He looked like he was begging for help.
Yang Si Xun's eyes widened. How could a bribe be so shameless? What kind of excuse is that? You sent it all the way here so that I can help you bury it?
Gao Lishi suddenly said, "We have a place to bury it."
"Then I'll have to trouble the two generals." Li Yi continued to be sincere.
"Steward Song, I'm here to drink the Thousand Sunset Frost Dew again." Someone shouted outside the canteen.
"Oh, it's Ershi. Come in and have a meal." Song De stood up and went out.
He pulled in a man in his twenties. He was Tong Tong of the Imperial College, a servant of the Qi family.
That day when Pei Yaoqing held a drinking ceremony, Tong Qi came to help. As he was an official, he received two small bottles of glycerin for free.
The colder the weather, the more effective the glycerin was. When the lips, hands, and face were dry, the glycerin would be applied. After all, the glycerin was sticky on the face.
Other people gave a discount. One bottle cost a thousand coins. In the Heavenly World, they only sold glycerin and did not give out free bottles. One bottle cost two thousand coins.
Tong Qi took two bottles and gave him five hundred coins per bottle. After all, he was an official.
Usually, Ershi came once every five days. Why did he use it so quickly? He had to ask Tong Qi.
Ershi seemed very reserved. His face was red. It seemed that he knew the reason why the glycerin was used so quickly. He was embarrassed.
Song De was very enthusiastic. He pulled Ershi to serve more vegetables.
He knew that Dongzhu would not have direct contact with the Imperial College. The Imperial College did not have much power. At the same time, their ranks were low.
Then, as a steward, he had to protect the circle of interests that Dongzhu did not care about.
"The things in Li Dongzhu and Zhuangzi are really hard to find." Yang Si Xun sighed.
Glycerin, toilet water, sanitary napkins, he used them all.
As for the fungus and Monkey's Head mushrooms, although he took most of them, when they entered the palace, he directly gave them to the Emperor. Then, the Emperor rewarded him with a small portion.
He knew that the Emperor knew what was in the Imperial Plantation and how it was there. If he dared to secretly keep it, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"General Yang, what are you saying? I have a few small mirrors. I don't think they look good, so …"
"No, I don't want them." Before Li Yi could finish, Yang Si Xun decisively refused.
He did not want to die. Only the Empress had mirrors. The Empress counted on using mirrors to reflect her status.
If the other eunuchs in the palace could get mirrors …
"Yes, you can't." Gao Lishi followed. He had a small mirror, but he never dared to take it out.
There were four palace maids and eunuchs on shift, one for each of them. They were also not ordered around in the palace. Only when it was their turn would they look at themselves in Zhuangzi.
"Fine." Li Yi did not insist.
Yang Si Xun let out a sigh of relief. He took out a small bottle of toilet water from his sleeve, twisted open the glass lid, and smelled it. Then, he twisted it back and put it away.
He found that the toilet water was very refreshing. The people in the palace who had the ability to get toilet water would usually smell it when they were sleepy.
As eunuchs, they needed toilet water and sanitary napkins more than palace maids. It was a physical problem.
"Li Dongzhu, give me more toilet water." Yang Si Xun was not polite at all.
"Take it with the lighter when you go back." Li Yi agreed.
"Li Dongzhu, are you in the cafeteria? I'm here to give you something. "There was a shout from outside.
Li Yi was stunned. He felt that the voice was familiar, but he could not remember.
Song De hurriedly said, "Yu Huaide, Shopkeeper Yu."
"Ah." Li Yi remembered the patient he circumcised.
"I'll go take a look." He said to the others and walked out.
Yu Huaide was standing outside. He was wearing a long leather skirt to keep him warm.
"You're already healed. You don't need to wear a skirt." Li Yi said to Yu Huaide.
"I'm used to it. There are people in Tubo who wear skirts. There are underwear made by you inside. It's comfortable." Yu Huaide said. He looked quite happy.
Li Yi knew the reason. Yu Huaide could enter Pyong Kang Square.
It was said that carrots were good. Then, Pyong Kang Square heard that he used a large amount of carrots to pay for the medical expenses. Li Yi took advantage of it, so they forgave him.
Yu Huaide shook his skirt. "Li Dongzhu, I've offended you before. I feel bad, so I came to give you some things. The goods I brought back were all sold out. I didn't lose anything."
As Yu Huaide said this, he waved his hand. The people behind him rushed over. The carriage was covered with a thatched cloth.
When it was lifted, it revealed sheepskin and yak skin stacked together inside.
"Twenty pieces of yak skin and two hundred pieces of sheepskin. The weather is cold. Li Dongzhu, make a cushion." Yu Huaide said loudly.
