"Alright, I'm done eating. I'll have lunch later."
Empress Wang managed to control her appetite after eating seven toothpicks.
"What do you want to eat?" Li Yi asked.
"The watermelon rind is delicious. Can I make soup with it?" Empress Wang suddenly thought of something.
"Soup," Li Yi said to Cui Liu.
Cui Liu got up and went to arrange it.
"Can I have drunk crabs?" Empress Wang asked again.
"No." Li Yi refused decisively. 'Are you kidding me? If something happens to you, I'll have to save you.'
"Brother Yi, when are you going to sell the drunk crabs?" Li Longji remembered that there were still many crabs in Zhuangzi that were made into drunk crabs.
Crabs were not allowed to be eaten in the palace, not even if they were marinated in honey. The Empress could not eat them.
"We'll sell them when they're almost done eating the crabs preserved in other ways." Li Yi was not in a hurry.
He did not like drunk crabs. He preferred steamed crabs, preferably sea crabs as they were meaty.
Sea crabs were meaty while river crabs were flavorful. They were different.
"San Lang, stay here tonight. I'll ask Uncle to take a look at the child in the afternoon." Empress Wang put her hand on her belly.
"I'll stay." Li Longji agreed. He had nothing to do this year anyway.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone ran in and handed him a piece of paper. "There's news from the court."
Li Longji narrowed his eyes and waved his hand. The person ran away again.
Li Longji unfolded the paper and looked at it. He then looked at Li Yi.
Li Yi was speechless.
'What does the court have to do with me? I'm not in the court again. '
"The Shatuo Golden Mountain is here." Li Longji said to Li Yi.
"Who is it?" Li Yi asked naturally.
"The Shatuo Golden Mountain." Li Longji explained.
Li Yi was stunned. After a dozen breaths, he said, "Zhuxie Gold Mountain or Zhuxie Fu Country? How old are they? Those in their seventies are Zhuya Gold Mountain, and those in their twenties are Zhuya Fu Country. "
"Both are here." Li Longji didn't know what to say. He had only mentioned a few names, and Brother Yi had already given him two names.
"They're all here. No, Third Brother, hurry up and bring Zhuya Jinshan to me. He's dying. If he comes to me, I can let him live for a few more years."
Li Yi just looked at the information, and then estimated that Zhuya Jinshan died this winter.
Based on the information, the Zhuya Fu Country was once again the Governor of Jin Manzhou.
The year before last, he was appointed as the military governor of Jin Man Province. However, Zhuya Jinshan was still alive. Obviously, his son was not in the right position, and his words were not satisfactory.
Now that he was here again, he had to reconfirm the location of the Zhuya Mountain's son, which meant that the Zhuya Mountain was gone.
This was a diplomatic matter. With the threat of the Tubo and the Turkic Khaganate, the Shatuo Tribe was very important.
As long as he was still alive, they could find a way to let him live for two more years.
If they didn't handle it well, Sha-tuo Jinshan might be sick and die in a few days.
"Third Brother, hurry up and ask your people about Sha-tuo Jinshan's condition." Li Yi was anxious.
Li Longji was just about to instruct the palace maids and eunuchs when he suddenly remembered that something was wrong.
When he returned, he said without waiting for him to sit down, "If he's sick, Brother Yi, please do your best."
"I'll do my best to treat anyone who's sick. I'm a doctor." Li Yi emphasized.
"Then I'm relieved." Li Longji sighed in relief.
Empress Wang yawned and was brought to rest again.
Li Longji took the opportunity to drag Li Yi out for ice skating. He was wearing cotton socks and had changed into slippers.
Even without Li Yi's instructions, he knew what to do. Gao Lishi and Yang Situ had told him to be steady on his feet or he wouldn't be able to stand.
Sure enough, as soon as he was on the ice, he stood still and slowly slid forward.
Li Yi slid in front of Li Longji with his hands outstretched.
"Third Brother, don't worry. If you're going to fall, just throw yourself forward. I can support you. If you're going to fall backward, don't struggle. You won't be able to adjust your balance and fall. "
Li Yi explained how to fall. The more one struggled, the harder the fall would be.
When the skaters saw that they were about to fall, they would use the momentum to fall and slide far away.
Especially for speed skaters, they would stop when they realized that something was wrong. If they were too fast, they would easily fall and hurt themselves.
"I have a full set of protective gear. When you fall, you'll sink downward. I understand."
Li Longji said to Li Yi. At the same time, he was very serious even though he couldn't increase his speed.
After half a circle, Li Longji found that his calves and ankles were sore, so he simply sat down on the ice to rest.
Li Yi also sat down: "Third Brother is eager to speed up. He doesn't know how to adjust his body's center of gravity. He just exerts strength on his ankles and soon gets tired."
"Yes. How can I smooth out the marks made by the ice? "Li Longji asked as he moved his ankles to relax.
"Use a large tin bucket with a row of small holes under it to fill it with water. Put it in the car and drag it upside down. The car will sprinkle evenly behind it."
Li Yi explained how to pour ice.
The best ice is naturally the ice made of artificial pure water. Indoors.
In fact, it's the ice outside. The river freezes naturally. That ice is good.
Pouring ice is too slippery. It has to be poured. When pouring ice, the water can't fall too high from the ice. Otherwise, bubbles will appear and the skin will peel.
"This thing is good. It can also be used in competitions." Li Longji quickly thought of sports.
The football field is about to be completed. In winter, there are few other fun things except for the football.
Polo is not suitable, boating is not good, tug-of-war is not interesting, skating is good.
Li Yi also thinks that the ice and snow project can give people a chance to move in winter. They can exercise while playing.
"Let's see this year. If there are many people, choose a place next year, and there are mountains nearby. After the snow, use skateboards to ski."
Li Yi thinks about the ice and snow project. Curling is easy to make. It's already in production. What else is there?
"Winged Knights are practicing skiing." Li Longji told Li Yi a news.
"Dogs pull the sled." Li Yi immediately thought of material transportation when he heard about the Winged Knights.
There is no Alaskan dog, a good Chinese pastoral dog.
As for letting the Tibetan mastiff pull, it is unrealistic. The Tibetan mastiff has a low IQ. It's okay for the master to follow, but it can't be commanded by another person.
"Can you transport Baggage?" Li Longji's first thought is war.
"Soldiers can also be transported, and the speed is very fast." Li Yi said.
"Good. If so, I have to raise more dogs." Li Longji's target is Tubo. Tubo has a lot of snow, and it's hard to breathe.
If he uses horses, they are not easy to take care of. If he uses dogs, obviously, there are more things to feed.
Dogs can eat what humans can eat. Dogs can also eat what humans can't eat.
Li Longji stood up with difficulty and continued to ski.
By lunchtime, he was able to ski two laps and take a break.
In fact, he only skated 12 laps in total, but Li Yi was tired.
"Watermelon skin soup is indeed the best. How did I discover it before?"
Empress Wang praised while eating the fried shumai and drinking the watermelon skin soup.
It's like eating celery without the leaves, or eating coriander without the roots. It's a matter of habit.
Li Yi's pursuit of food has deepened, and there's nothing he can't eat.
Li Yi also eats fried shumai, but he drinks mutton soup. Zhuangzi's soup is mutton soup. They deliberately killed sheep to nourish the body.
Li Longji imitated Li Yi and poured pepper into the mutton soup. Just as he was about to eat, someone came in and gave him a note.
He glanced at it, nodded to Li Yi, and left.
After a while, Li Longji brought in a slightly reserved young man.
"Brother Yi, this is …"
"Zhuxie Fu Kingdom?" Li Yi stood up and guessed. He looked behind, hoping to see an old man.
"Li Dongzhu, my father is in the car. He has been coughing for the past few days."
The Zhuxie Fu Kingdom's people are obviously from a minority ethnic group. They tried their best not to look at Empress Wang. They were already told what to do before they came.
The Emperor and Empress of the Tang dynasty are actually disguised as relatives of the Emperor to interact with a young man named Zhuangzi, Dongzhu.
"Do you have a fever?" Li Yi asked.
"Yes." The Zhuxie Fu Kingdom's people replied.
"Let's not eat first. It's probably pneumonia. He's so old. Do you want to put him on a ventilator? Ah! Let's go. "
Li Yi thought it was troublesome, but he had to do it anyway.
He ran away to put on clothes and a mask. He didn't know if it was pneumonia. If it was, was it infectious?
