"Block it, block it. I drew it under the lamp last night. It's still wet. Don't let the rain wash it away."
"Wipe these shoes. I'll eat hotpot with you at noon, okay?"
"I'm selling it at a cheap price. Give me two coins and I'll take all the meat. If you don't accept the bones, I'll donate the bones to make soup for free."
"Pack up the food and the money I gave you yesterday. Even if it rains, send it to me with knives and shields."
Chang 'an City was bustling with noise and excitement. Those who were selected for the next round of the calligraphy and painting competition were allowed to paint and write poems on the wall.
Paintings had to be drawn on paper first. If other people's walls were not painted well, other people would not agree. It was even more so for poems.
After he finished painting, he would cover it when it rained. He was afraid that the paint would not dry.
The shoeshine kid was invited home by the other kids to do it. Many of the leather shoes in the house had been cleaned and wrapped up. They would take them out and clean them again. Actually, they were just rubbing them for the sake of chatting.
The vegetable seller shouted for a discount and lowered the price. If not, he would also lower the price. Those that were not sold last night were placed on ice noodles. The price in the morning was low and they were not fresh enough.
If they still couldn't sell it, they would have to send it to the delicatessen. Usually, they would send it to the Li Family Zhuangzi. If they made it into smoked meat or sausages, they could sell it for another two days.
The vegetables could not be preserved until tomorrow. It seemed that the rain would not stop for a while, so they were sold at a low price.
If they really couldn't sell it, they would still send it to the Li Family Zhuangzi's shop, and the shop would take it back to feed the villagers and the southwestern barbarian captives.
In restaurants and other places, there were those who ordered the food last night and those who came in the morning. Once the money was paid, the food had to be delivered.
A shed was built on top of the carriage, and the driver continued to run. Horses were actually not afraid of the rain, but they were afraid of the heat.
As long as there was enough material, it did not matter if the horses ran in the rain.
If it was a sunny day, the horse would have to rest after running for a while. The horse would have to be washed with water to lower its temperature. If it ran for a long time, it would have to bleed.
For example, when Li Yi was there, the horses were constantly carrying people and pulling carriages in the summer. When the horses fell, they didn't know how to bleed at all.
A horse that has fallen to the ground due to heat and fatigue can be saved by bleeding it out in time.
It was a pity that people who used horses to make money did not know how to care for their horses. Secondly, they did not know how to deal with emergencies. Would they bleed?
The coachmen of the railcars knew that they had to observe the condition of the horses at all times. If the situation was not right, they would unload the railcar and put it aside. They would then take the horses and deal with them.
Wiping his body, massaging with a brush, feeding him vegetables and cooked bean cakes …
Clean up quickly, lead the horse to the haystack stable, where the horse will rest on its side.
A few raw eggs and a handful of pepper would be even better, and the horse would rub its head against the coachman.
…
"Li Lang, do you want to increase the number of sheds?" On the Ba River, the yacht slowly moved forward.
The Winged Knights stood shirtless on the deck and threw things at the fishing boats docked by the shore. The launchers were exchanged by Li Yi.
The weight, density, volume, wind speed and direction were all calculated.
The thing that was thrown was a smoked chicken. Every single one of the smoked chickens had been prepared long ago, just so that they could be given to others on the way.
Every time Li Dongzhu went out, all the common people he met along the way should benefit.
The chicken that was hatched was a small rooster that could be eaten after half a year. It was most suitable for making smoked chicken.
Chickens wrapped in oiled paper were thrown onto the shore one by one. The people who stopped the boat knew what it meant.
They went over and picked them up. They could eat them. It was cold in the rain, and eating to replenish their calories made their hearts warmer.
Princess Yongmu was at the top. Through the window, she looked at the shed on the shore and found that it was crowded. Some people could only wear raincoats and squat outside the shed to drink hot soup.
"Today is a special situation. The yacht is slow. They knew the news in advance and came to see. It's okay to build a bigger shed, but it's not because of this."
Li Yi pursued the essence. Usually, there were not so many people, and they were all looking at the yacht.
Drinking a mouthful of hot soup, one would not die from the loss of heat.
There was oil and salt in the soup. Even if one drank it in winter, it would be difficult to freeze to death.
Xiao Lan cooperated and asked: "Why?"
"Because of the increase in demand, transportation, and temporary storage."
Li Yi looked at other places. That person was squatting and drinking soup, looking here.
Li Yi did not sympathize with the other party. In addition to the soup, the other party also had braised lamb trotters. Are you poor? Just watch the show!
"In front, is that the grain transport team? It's also stopped. The car is covered with a thatch cloth. Judging from the uneven appearance of the thatch cloth, it's a sack. It's not tight. "
Xiao Lan took out her binoculars and looked further away. There were many cars parked beside a shed in front.
"Wheat, this year's indica rice is not ready yet. Only last year's winter wheat is transported with the shell after harvesting.
The new hybrid crops at the Si Nongsi will have to wait for another year. At that time, other than indica rice, the output of all other crops will increase.
When the industrial and commercial system is up, agricultural workers will have to be subsidized. "
Li Yi analyzed the way the cars were tied and what could be produced now. It was just like how before the fields were planted, one could determine what the people wanted to plant through factors such as ridges and furrows.
When planting rice and wheat, it was obvious that deep ridges could not be built. When planting eggplants, cucumbers, cowpeas, and so on, the other side of the field had to be built.
When planting watermelons and cantaloupes, the terrain had to be higher than other vegetables. Otherwise, there would be too much water when it rained, and they would be wasted after soaking.
"Li Lang, I heard that the seeds of indica rice and the Si Nongsi are not providing food for free, so you shouldn't be grateful. The money to buy food is earned by yourself."
Princess Yongmu suddenly told him what she had heard.
"That's right. The money to buy food is earned by oneself, but the price is not controlled by oneself. Production technology is transformed into productivity. The output of food is high and the price is low.
If there is no food to sell, how much money do you have to buy it? When the Tang dynasty's grain reserves are depleted due to the decrease in output, you will starve to death even if you have gold and silver.
The Si Nongsi is researching hybrid varieties. They can't give you free food, but they can reduce the price of food and give you the possibility of filling your stomach.
I can't provide others with a short curved plow and a sheller for free. I can only let others pay a small price to get more income.
Therefore, the people set up a longevity tablet for me and are willing to give me fish and snails to eat. "
Li Yi did not deny the fact that the food was bought by others with their own money. He analyzed it from another perspective.
"It's time to turn. Adjust the angle. It's so close. Throw it over. I'll do it."
On the deck outside, Guo Ziyi, who was bare-chested and drenched in the rain, commanded the launch vehicle. When it reached the turning point, he found that the equipment was not easy to adjust. It needed to be raised and then fall down.
He estimated the distance. It was more than 30 meters. What equipment was there to use?
He grabbed a roast chicken wrapped in grease, estimated it, and swung his arm. Whoosh ~ ~ The roast chicken flew through the rain and landed in someone's boat with a bang.
"Good, good ~ ~" A group of people applauded. Awesome. As expected of a martial arts expert. Too accurate.
The person on the boat wanted to go ashore to pick up the chicken but was shocked. He looked over and gave a thumbs up.
"Those who got full marks for throwing grenades, go." Guo Ziyi gestured and ordered.
"Yes!" Dozens of people stepped forward at the same time. They threw the grenades far and accurately.
The rain did not affect their performance. Who said that there was no war in the rain?
There were many boats around the turning point. It was easy to catch fish here.
They saw oil paper bags flying over. Some were thrown further away and landed on the shore. Some landed on the boat, and some fell into the water.
They were not afraid of falling into the water. They had long poles and nets. They just needed to stretch them out.
"Do it, do it. If there is a chicken that is not caught, I will play with it alone later."
Li Yi did not know whether to laugh or cry. That was meat.
