"Xiao Yi, thank you for reminding us. We were so busy with court matters that we forgot. That … making silage out of the grass?"
Bi Goo's voice gradually became lower as he felt guilty.
They were talking about building a bridge. How did they end up talking about raising rabbits?
"Rabbits eat grass all the time and get diarrhea easily. Feeding hay is dehydrated, but you can feed extra water.
In this season, grass and trees are flourishing. The people who raise rabbits know to cut the grass. After cutting it, a lot of grass can still grow.
Cut it every once in a while, just like growing leeks. In early autumn, a year's worth of grass is enough and there is still a surplus.
In case of fire, the fire will not only burn the grass, but also the hope of the people. "
Li Yi had observed rabbits before and had scientific information.
In summer, there was a lot of grass. Rabbits could eat it, but not all grass. They would look for shrubs and hay to eat.
If there was both grass and hay, rabbits would be considered as New Year's Eve.
When rabbits eat grass, they will adjust. There are two kinds of feces. When there is a lack of fiber, rabbits will eat a lot of grass. Later, there will be a type of grass with high fiber and vitamins. They will turn around and eat it.
It was the most convenient to feed rabbits in summer. Put in grass and hay, and they will know what to eat.
"You write it in the newspaper. The court orders it." Song Jing did not say that he only cared about court matters. Was it not a big deal for the people to raise rabbits?
The people raised rabbits to eat meat, sell meat, and sell rabbit skin.
Raising pigs was tiring to feed children, and cutting pigweed required a lot of effort.
When raising rabbits, the children in the family would cut the grass that rabbits eat and bring it back to feed them. This was an income for the whole family. It was no small matter for the people.
"I'm going back to sleep. Li Shihuo is probably asleep." Li Yi finished soaking and left the pool.
"Oil paper is going to be expensive again. We have to produce more. It's not easy to find strips to weave baskets." Li Rizhi did not dare to leave. The Emperor was here.
"Oil paper?" Liu Youqiu did not understand.
Su Yi helped to explain, "There are more rabbits, chickens, and pigs. The price of meat in the capital and the surrounding prefectures will definitely drop.
Only by selling can we stabilize the interests of the people. The best way is to make canned food.
Canned food requires oil paper and rattan baskets. The cost of other things is too high.
Bamboo tubes are also good. It's a pity to use several years of bamboo to make canned food. "
"In that case, it's not good to have too much rabbit skin. Fortunately, not many people can afford to wear leather clothes nowadays. It is very important to have a pair of leather boots in winter. "
Liu Youqiu mentioned that the rabbit skin would not impact the market for the time being. There were too few skins on the market.
This was especially true for new pigs, which could not be raised for a long time. Their skins could be used to make braised pork, or they could be used to make shoes and clothes.
Two or more years of pig skin was suitable. Compared to other types of skin, pig skin was harder and had large pores.
It has something to do with what pigs eat. Pigs are omnivores, while cows and sheep eat grass.
The skin of a pig that was a few months old could only be used to make braised pork or meat jelly. It couldn't be used to make gloves or shoes. Even if it was barely made, it wouldn't be sturdy enough.
Most importantly, the fur of pigs was not good. Some small animals were also omnivorous, but their fur was good.
"Let's go back. Tomorrow, all of you will have to work hard again." Li Longji stood up.
"I need to have a scrape, not cupping." Bi Goo had not forgotten about this matter.
When they went out, sure enough, someone reported that Li Shihuo had fallen asleep and was sleeping very soundly.
The next morning, Li Yi woke up feeling refreshed. He drank too much yesterday and went to treat people while drunk. If he was investigated, he would have to go to jail.
Fortunately, no one in the Tang dynasty punished him, including Li Shihuo who was rescued. He did not intend to complain about Li Yi's drunken treatment.
A large group of people from Khitan came to thank Li Yi with gifts.
"Wen Tian, I didn't receive the consultation fee last night, right?"
Li Yi ate the hot shredded pork noodles. He drank too much yesterday and his stomach was not feeling well. He did not want to take stomach medicine.
"You didn't receive the medical fee." Princess Yongmu was certain. Yes, you even flew to see a patient.
"In that case, I will accept the gifts they sent."
Li Yi continued to eat the noodles. The shredded pork was made of tenderloin, tender and easy to cook.
The noodles were naturally machine-made noodles. There was a flour press. It was too tiring to roll by hand, so the noodles had to be covered with dust.
One-third of his bowl of noodles was made of shredded pork. There were also wood ear, shredded carrots, and mushrooms. Only half of the noodles were made of noodles.
Princess Yongmu ate the steamed egg soup. It was a big bowl of steamed egg soup with six steamed eggs and meat gravy.
She did not eat the staple food. She said that she would eat some snacks when she was hungry later.
Xiao Lan scooped the small crucian carp in the iron pot. It was a big pot of fish jelly made last night.
The crucian carp was small and had many bones. If it was not made crispy, it would hurt the throat. If it was cooked hot, it would all break.
Therefore, she stewed it in a big iron pot. When it was cold, she took a spatula. When the fish was fresh, she stewed the head together with it.
Xiao Lan ate roujiamo with the fish jelly and drank pickled vegetable soup. She even put a few cloves of sweet garlic in the plate next to her.
Li Yi ate the noodles and felt awkward. When he looked at what Xiao Lan was eating, he understood.
"Xiao Lan, don't the fish jelly and pickled vegetable soup taste fishy?" Li Yi found the source of the awkwardness.
"I asked them to stew this pickled vegetable soup with fish soup." Xiao Lan smiled sweetly.
Li Yi gave her two thumbs up. "Amazing! I thought that my cooking was invincible, but I didn't expect it! "
He really admired her. With fish soup as the base for the pickled vegetables, the fishy parts had long been merged.
With the fish jelly in the iron pot, it tasted even better. This Xiao Lan was not ordinary.
"It was Qing Dai who told me that I like to eat pickled vegetables and cold fish in the iron pot. I can't add any seasoning, so she gave me the idea."
Xiao Lan didn't take the credit and told him about the little girl.
"Let's see how it goes today. I'll use two death row prisoners to practice." After Li Yi finished speaking, he lowered his head and continued to eat the noodles, chewing as much as possible.
This disciple of his couldn't be found even with a lantern!
Not to mention that there were death row prisoners to practice with, even if there were no more, they could still capture captives.
It was cruel to an individual, but it was helpful to a group.
Those in power had to consider the majority, just like the rules of the law.
On the other side, Li Shihuo, who was eating with his own people, had completely recovered. It was not a big deal to begin with.
He felt different. Last night, he thought that he was going to die for sure. He tried his best to breathe, but why didn't it work? When he breathed in, it was as if he didn't breathe at all.
Only when Li Yi descended from the sky and took out a celestial medicine and sprayed it on his mouth did he manage to breathe again.
When he reached Zhuangzi and rubbed the celestial water on his mouth, he no longer felt itchy. He had never felt so comfortable before and didn't know when he fell asleep.
It was really the work of a deity. He heard that he liked to eat pine nuts, so he just happened to have some left.
Li Shihuo's subordinates observed their 'master'. Yesterday, they saw red spots all over his body. When they scratched him, a large patch of skin bulged out. It was really scary.
His face was one size bigger, and it looked like he was going to die.
When they looked at him in the morning, he had recovered.
"Today, when Li Dongzhu is free, we will ask him what we should do. He won't harm us." Li Shihuo said to his subordinates.
The group of people nodded. Right, Li Dongzhu always gave them benefits. He was a kind person.
Li Dongzhu helped to sell the worthless things they had.
The cocoons of silkworms and the roots of wild vegetables were sent over. Li Dongzhu gave them diesel oil, soap, and skin cream.
A large amount of pine nuts could be exchanged for a small mirror and perfume. Li Dongzhu was at a disadvantage!
This included how they planted their own land and the seeds they provided. How could there be such a good person in the world?
Could their Khitans join the Tang dynasty? They heard that even Tubo could join.
