The adults in the village were reluctant to eat this batch of tomatoes and string beans that couldn't be kept and used to cook.
The children ate happily. They knew that the adults would not eat it even if they let them eat it. As long as they enjoyed it, they would be filial to the adults in the future.
Li Longji and the others were also satisfied with the food. Only Li Yi did not eat it.
He still could not figure out how tomato scrambled eggs could be delicious. He cooked it well, but it did not mean that he accepted it.
He wanted to eat raw tomatoes and scrambled eggs.
He also did not want to eat scrambled eggs with cucumber.
He knew his own thoughts. He ate cucumbers and tomatoes as fruits and cold dishes.
Fried shredded pork with kidney beans was to his taste. It was juicy and could be eaten with rice.
"Brother Yi, you finally don't have to exchange your life for food. I feel very comfortable eating it." Li Longji was full of emotions.
"Time is up. Many things that can't be planted have to be eaten. Heavenly World will give some.
In the past two years, Heavenly World has no other attraction except for the gimmick, even if it is backed by the imperial power.
People who went there found that they could not directly contact the imperial power. The membership fee seems to be worthless. "
Li Yi mentioned Heavenly World. The biggest gimmick of Heavenly World was created by His Majesty, but it was useless.
The other things in the capital were gradually enriched. People could not understand the cooking after eating it once, but after eating it a few more times and failing dozens of times, they would eventually understand.
Li Yi did not comment on whether the Chinese were good in other aspects or not.
If it was eating, as long as someone made it, everyone could quickly learn.
Li Yi never restricted the spread of cooking skills. The simple method was also introduced in the newspaper to enrich the people's table.
Including iron pots and spices, the combination of these, the people would consume less staple food and use it to raise poultry and livestock.
"Brother Yi, I'm afraid you don't know that the consumption of Heavenly World is increasing now."
Li Chengqi swallowed a mouthful of scrambled eggs with tomatoes and showed a satisfied look.
"Why?" Li Yi asked cooperatively.
"The 'big family' of Nanqu is now handing the sign to Heavenly World. If you want to know which one is open, you have to go to Heavenly World." Li Chengqi said with an expression that said, "You can't guess."
Li Yi patted his forehead. It's over! Could it be that this name could not escape its fate?
"How could this be?" Li Yi really didn't understand and couldn't think of a reason.
"It was Xinyan, 'Great Master' Jia Xin, who started it. She said that Jia Xin had a thin body and it would be difficult for her to improve. In heaven and on earth, the military is important, but in the mortal world, women are abandoned. The Winged Knights spent their brocade silk, while the Nanqu Clan added their wealth and firewood. Rivers and rivers can move to the sea, but the boudoir never changes, and the heart remains chaste. "
Li Chengqi explained the situation, Xin Yan took the lead, and Nanqu's' big shots' immediately followed.
Whoever received the guests must go to the Heavenly Earth to ask. If you don't ask, you won't be able to enter.
After that, they had to go to the bathing pool next to the Wannian County yamen to take a bath. Only then would they be qualified to be selected.
Ever since Nan Qu started working with the Li Family Zhuangzi, it had been very arrogant. In the past, all the kings could give orders. Now, all the kings were living in the Li Family Zhuangzi.
Those who did not live in the Li Family Zhuangzi dared to challenge the rules of Nanqu County's "big family"?
Li Yi was stunned and inexplicably moved. Who said that the women of Shang Dynasty did not know the hatred of their country and sang the song of the backyard flowers across the river?
Previously, the women of Pyong Kang Square had donated a lot of money to support the Yellow River Battle.
Now that the war against the Turks had started, they were afraid that the imperial court would not have enough money to support the army, so they thought of ways to help.
"After that, the women of Zhongqu and Beiqu also joined in. Go to the third floor of Nanqu County, the second floor of Zhongqu County, and the first floor of Beiqu County." Li Chengqi said other things.
"The ambergris that was sent last time has been processed. I will use it as a fixative and make perfume, and send it to Pyong Kang Square.
I will make orchids first, and the next batch will be plum blossoms. The glass bottles will be beautiful, and there will be paintings inside. What about Wu Daozi? Let's see if he knows how to paint. "
Li Yi decided to give gifts to the women of Pyong Kang Square, using things from the sperm whale.
No matter how precious these things were, they could not be compared to the affection of the women of Pyong Kang Square.
"Since that's the case, why send the ingredients to Heavenly Earth? Why don't you sell them in Drunken Immortal House? "Bi Goo suggested with a kind look on his face.
Li Yi shook his head. "No, it's Heavenly Earth. Drunken Immortal House needs to pay taxes."
Li Yi did not think that Old Bi Goo was being kind. Who would dare to collect taxes in Heavenly Earth? It was the money to support His Majesty's private army.
Drunken Immortal House was his, so he had to pay taxes.
"That's not what I meant. It's a misunderstanding! Xiao Yi, you've misunderstood! "Bi Goo was not embarrassed at all.
"After the corn is filled with milk, if the milk is not good and it is difficult to use as seeds, break it off in advance and send it to Pyong Kang Square."
Li Yi ignored Bi Goo's words. He wanted to give more benefits to Pyong Kang Square.
"Yes, corn is delicious when boiled and roasted," Princess Yongmu said.
"Good!" Li Longji agreed.
…
Li Family Zhuangzi started to get busy. They made soap and distributed the bathhouse tickets. More than 60% of the people changed their soap.
They did the economic accounting. In summer, they could wash at home and by the river. In winter, it was cold, so they went to the bathhouse. It was difficult to boil water by themselves.
While there were tickets, they changed their soap, towels, and toothpaste.
Some people wanted to take a bath. Most of them were men. The women did not want to go into the big pool for the sake of hygiene.
The water in the big pool of the women's bathhouse was scooped out and poured over their bodies.
The result was that some shops lost their workers. They did not give out bathhouse tickets, and the workers ran away or changed jobs.
Without workers, there were no customers.
It was not like Li Yi's time, where there was a discount. No matter what the shop did, there would still be people lining up to buy it.
In the Tang dynasty, Chang 'an was not good. The people despised them. Which shop was cold hearted? It was easy to get into trouble if you went there to buy something.
In Li Yi's time, the Japanese Empire was in such a situation. When a shop had problems, they tried to shirk responsibility and avoid the important matters. It did not take long for even a century-old shop to close down.
All the shops in Chang 'an began to reshuffle. Some shops complained, "Give me a refund. I didn't pay you less. Why should I give you a refund?"
The workers also had an excuse. "You paid the tax, why should we give you a refund?" "Do you count the number of workers when you give a refund?"
"How many workers do you have? Isn't the purpose of giving money to the workers?" "The imperial court is not giving you money, it's giving us money."
The other people who did not participate did not think about the issue of tax refund. They began to wash their hair, dry their bedding, and even took out the straw mats to dry.
Li Family Zhuangzi's newspaper wrote, "Try to get rid of lice and vermin this year. Everyone should work hard together."
The people responded to the call.
The last quarter moon was in the sky. Li Yi could not sleep. He opened the curtains and looked at the night sky.
He did not go out. There were mosquitoes outside.
He was calculating the situation around the Tang dynasty. After the Tujue retreated to the north, if other places wanted to join the Tang dynasty, should they be allowed to?
If they were allowed to join, where would they be arranged? They could not be settled in their original places. They could rebel at will.
If they migrated, should they confiscate their weapons? Then what should they do?
Should they order the Bohai Sea to send troops to cooperate? If they did not send troops, should they be reprimanded or started a war?
Everything had to be considered in advance. They could not wait until they met.
