"I hope the meat is edible. If not … Feed it to pigs and pandas."
Li Yi rode the scooter and said to Li Longji and Li Chengqi, who were also riding the scooter.
Li Longji and Li Chengqi were unfamiliar with it. Fortunately, it was simple and did not have any technical difficulties.
The surrounding maids and eunuchs put things in the basket and followed them.
It was more difficult for Qing Song. He had a box, so he held the lever of the box with one hand and the middle of the scooter with the other.
The cub wanted to help several times, but he did not agree. The box was the pride of Qing Song's group of four, so it must be in their hands. If others wanted it, they had to bring their own boxes!
"Can't you ride that box of yours?" Li Longji realized that the design of the box was very good.
It could be pulled and ridden, and there were wheels on three sides. The wheels and bearings were more advanced than the scooter.
"It's slow unless it goes downhill," Qing Song explained.
Usually, he did not ride the box at all and dragged it. He thought that riding the box was blasphemous.
"He has a flat cart for boxes, but he doesn't use it." The cub took the opportunity to complain.
"Why don't you help him with the flat cart?" Li Chengqi glared at the cub.
"Sorry, I'm sorry." The cub was instantly scared.
"Ten canes." Li Chengqi said a number and continued to ride.
"Yes!" The cub agreed and looked at Li Yi. Li Yi did not look back, so it breathed a sigh of relief.
Ten canes was fine. After the cold compress, it would not affect tomorrow's work. If Dongzhu said ten canes, there would be no tomorrow.
When they arrived, many people were watching. They mainly looked at the whale meat, which was piled up like a mountain and emitted a foul smell.
"It can't be eaten unless Dongzhu processes it and makes oil."
"Make soap from fish. I live by the sea and catch a fish. It's very useful!"
"It's a whale, a mammal."
"That pile is called ambergris. It's even smellier."
"Smelly is also a medicine. Dongzhu can make it fragrant. I heard that Dongzhu specifically asked for it."
"Can the meat still be eaten? It's so hot. You can't put salt. "
"It's mainly because it's not sealed. Fresh meat can be eaten if it's sealed in a jar with salt."
"Help me chase away the flies. Don't make it inedible when the time comes."
"It can't be compared to pork. Our Zhuangzi doesn't lack meat to eat."
"The meat looks okay. There is indeed a lot of salt by the sea."
"I heard that after the New Year, most places are teaching how to dry salt."
"In the past, I kept it a secret and didn't want others to know about it. I was worried that it would affect the salt market. Now, the price of salt is low, mainly because of the transportation cost."
"Well salt from the Shu Lands is shipped here by ship. Why don't you stop when it's so cheap?"
"There's profit. You can count the labor. Once the brine wells are finished, there's still the natural gas wells. How much salt can one person produce in a day?
In addition to the transportation costs, they would definitely make a lot of money when they reach the wholesale terminal.
The owner had said that the price of daily necessities would always be linked to the cost of production.
If there is no profit, no one will do it. Thus, the price will rise and the profits will be regained. "
"Now, all the poultry and livestock are being fed salt. The amount is written on the newspaper. It's not allowed to be too much. If there's too much, they'll definitely die."
The onlookers discussed fervently. It was obvious that this was a villager, and they threw out all kinds of theories.
The Winged Knights in Haizhou had all returned, along with the commoners who helped to transport the goods. They were allowed to enter Zhuangzi.
To be able to enter the Li Family Zhuangzi was their greatest dream. When they came, they said that they didn't want any money. Now that they were allowed to enter Zhuangzi, it was enough!
"Dongzhu, these commoners said that they are helping to transport the goods. They don't want any money. They just want to enter Zhuangzi …" One of the Winged Knights said.
Before he could finish, Li Yi rubbed his stomach and said, "I'm going to the toilet. I'll be back in five minutes."
He ran off on his scooter, and it didn't seem like he had a bad stomach.
The moment he left, the Winged Knights bowed, "Your Majesty, King Song."
The villager saw them and hurriedly greeted.
The commoners who helped: "…"
We just wanted to enter Zhuangzi to take a look. Why … why did we see His Majesty and King Song?
"Rise! Thank you for your hard work. "Li Longji came down from his scooter, and his aura changed.
"Your Majesty, I … I … I'll kowtow to you." One of the commoners was so agitated that he didn't know how to express himself, so he knelt down.
The other commoners also knelt down and kowtowed.
Li Longji didn't have time to stop them, so he could only accept it, "Get up, get up. I won't pay you the transportation fees, but … I have an additional reward."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The leader of the group reacted quickly, and the group of people thanked him.
It didn't matter what the reward was, as long as it was a rock.
"Such a large piece of smelly stuff, is it the Ambergris that is usually used in the palace? You can only get it occasionally in the palace. "
Li Longji looked at the large piece of Ambergris. The smell was indeed bad.
"It's called fragrance when it's extremely smelly. It's a product of extreme yang." Bi Goo and a group of people came over. They heard the news and wanted to take a look.
"Greetings to Bi Zaifu, Song Zaifu …"
The Winged Knights continued to lead the group, mainly to introduce them. Otherwise, they wouldn't have bowed to others.
Zaifu didn't have a subordinate relationship with them. They were only responsible for Her Majesty.
The Winged Knights knelt to the Zaifu. Whichever Zaifu knelt to, that Zaifu would have to commit suicide to prevent their family from being exterminated.
They knelt to Li Longji with one knee on the ground. They didn't kneel unless it was a military situation.
The commoners didn't kneel either. It was fine if they just bowed, but they were still excited. Was today the legendary court assembly?
"The oil can be refined, but can the meat be eaten?"
Lu Huaishen walked around the mountain of meat and took a portion of it. It was still a large amount.
"Can it? It's all salt. Ever since the salt-drying technology was introduced, salted fish from the coastal areas were often sent to Chang 'an. I don't know how it is dried. "
Yao Chong endured the unpleasant smell and walked to the meat.
"I know." Zhang Jiuling 'raised his hand' to speak. He had already used this technology in Guangzhou.
The commoners who boiled the sea for salt didn't lose their jobs or reduce their income because of the technology. Instead, they made more money.
Drying salt was hard work, but it was better than boiling salt. If the price of salt was ten times lower, then the production could increase by a hundred times.
"I know. My family does this. Wave by wave, add extra bitterness and saltiness to the salt. A rope can make flowers bloom. Adding water to the ladder can make salt. "
The leader of the commoners said again. He understood. His family did this. It was tiring, but it was better than boiling salt.
"I'm back. I'm back. Everyone hasn't eaten, right? Eat jianbing. I'll bring someone to make it for you. Drink watermelon soup with some chopped green onions. "
Li Yi came back on his scooter. Behind him was a fleet of flatbed cars.
Some people were washing their hands in basins, some were scooping soup, and some were making jianbing on the spot. They were all in the limelight.
There was also a flatbed car with testing equipment. Li Yi had to check if the meat was edible.
He brought them to the canteen because he knew the commoners wanted to hear him speak. It would be more intimate if he spoke on the spot.
When the commoners finished eating, they would be arranged to take a bath, sleep, and stay for a few days. They would bring gifts when they left.
They came with a full cart. He couldn't ask them to leave with an empty cart, right?
His neighbor sent a plate of dumplings. Should he return the empty plate without washing it?
Even if he didn't have money, he could pick some wild vegetables, wash them clean, and serve them on a plate. He could let them understand his manners.
