"Third brother, sister-in-law, I have a business deal now. Do you know about herbal tea eggs?" Li Yi said.
He thought there were no herbal tea eggs in the Tang dynasty.
Li Longji and Empress Wang nodded at the same time.
Li Yi: "…"
There was? There were herbal tea eggs now?
Li Longji said, "Usually, when you boil tea, you add salt and ginger. When you are hungry, you boil the eggs inside. It tastes very good."
Li Yi was enlightened.
So it was like this. In ancient times, when you boiled tea, you added salt and ginger. When you were hungry, you boiled the eggs together with the tea.
The Herbal Tea Eggs were produced as a by-product.
It was just like boiled eggs and noodles in a hotpot. The ancient people were not stupid. When they were hungry, they couldn't make another pot to boil eggs.
"What about spiced beef? Soy sauce beef and smoked chicken? "Li Yi asked from a different angle.
The two shook their heads at the same time. They did not know what was in the eggs. Anyway, they were quite delicious.
Li Yi was relieved. You can't throw in aniseed and cinnamon when boiling tea, right? What kind of smell was that?
"I want to make spiced eggs. The eggs can be boiled directly. The duck eggs have a fishy smell and need to be pickled. I will boil a batch of eggs tomorrow and record it. I will show you the account then."
Li Yi said.
He also knew the price. The current situation was special. 300 coins per bucket of rice.
One bucket was 10 liters of rice. One liter of rice was 1.8 catties of rice.
One catty was nearly 17 coins.
Eggs were divided into different sizes. Basically, there were 10 eggs per catty. One catty was 16 taels and 660 grams.
One catty of eggs could not be cheaper than one catty of rice.
Then everyone would be eating eggs.
According to the current situation of non-professional laying hens, eggs were two to three times the price of rice.
Therefore, Li Yi planned to sell a spiced egg for 500 coins and a spiced duck egg for 600 coins.
This thing was not for ordinary people to eat at all. Only the rich could enjoy it.
For ordinary people, even if it was a boiled egg, they would not be willing to buy it at market price.
"Is it delicious?" Empress Wang was the most direct.
"Let's eat and drink slowly. I'll cook first." Li Yi said and then went to look for something. He didn't wait for tomorrow.
Then, he cooked eggs in a pot beside him. Inside, he added soy sauce, salt, five spices, and tea leaves.
Fifteen minutes later, he picked up two pairs of chopsticks.
One pair of hands held the egg, while the other gently tapped on it, creating a texture.
Li Yi's use of chopsticks surprised Li Longji and Empress Wang. It was too steady.
Li Yi did not think much of it. No matter how bad he was at performing routine operations, he still had the basic skills of a doctor.
If he couldn't even control his hands, how could he perform the surgery?
It was just picking up and cracking eggs, not the kind that peeled the shell raw.
When he knocked, he deliberately used a lot of force to break the membrane. Otherwise, it would take a long time for the color to come out.
There were a total of fifty eggs. Li Yi cracked them all and threw them back into the pot to cook on high heat. The speed at which the flavor seeped in was very fast.
Li Longji and Ye Zichen were not in a hurry to go to bed after eating. Today was a relaxing day for the two of them.
It was time for a vacation.
Li Yi chatted with Li Longji about everything, politics, culture, the current international situation, and the analysis of the main figures in the upper class of Tubo Turks …
He talked openly, and Li Longji listened.
Then, Li Longji wanted to hold a small court meeting at this moment and call the ministers over to listen and analyze together.
Empress Wang blinked her big eyes. She was not ordinary. Half of the credit for Li Longji becoming the emperor should go to her.
She also knew a lot of things, but after listening to this uncle, she realized that she was still not very clear.
"Third Brother, let me tell you. The tougher the Tang dynasty is, the more they compromise. They sent people here to test us!"
"Why test us? The emperor has just dealt with Princess Taiping, and it gives people the feeling that politics is unstable. "
"That's why the emperor set up a pear garden. What's his purpose? Singing and dancing to promote peace and prosperity, putting on a show for the world to see.
"The emperor is anxious now. The price of goods is high, and the combat effectiveness of the army has decreased greatly."
"So he has to appease the people and seize the time to change, especially the army."
"Believe it or not, I know what he's thinking. He wants to form a cavalry unit, and the most powerful of them should be the winged cavalry of the Yulin Royal Guards. "
"This winged cavalry is not only good at riding, but also proficient in bows and crossbows."
"They belong to the light cavalry, and they pay attention to coming and going like the wind, and running like shuttles."
Li Yi blabbered.
Li Longji's forehead was full of sweat. He was scared.
In his heart, he said, "Damn, you can even guess what I'm thinking?"
For a moment, Li Longji wanted to kill someone and learn from Cao Cao to kill Yang Xiu.
But he couldn't bear to do it. Brother Yi was too powerful.
Not to mention killing him, even when he ate in the palace and found that the taste was not good, he felt empty when he thought of Brother Yi.
That was why he brought the empress to play today. When he saw Brother Yi, he felt at ease.
Now, he really felt at ease. Brother Yi was simply not human.
"Am I right, Third Brother, Sister-in-law?" Li Yi drank a little too much. His body couldn't withstand alcohol.
"Yes, Uncle is right." Empress Wang praised. Uncle knows military affairs.
Li Longji asked, "Brother Yi, what's next?"
Li Longji's body was numb. He felt that he was facing an existence like Jiang Ziya or Zhuge Liang.
For a moment, Li Longji realized that Prime Minister Yao Chong was even more useless than Brother Yi.
The surrounding situation was very clear, and the situation within the country was also very clear.
Why was it like this? Who did Brother Yi learn from?
Gui Guzi?
"The chicken eggs are ready. Let's take them out and soak them for a night. They'll taste even better." Li Yi rubbed his face with his hands and got up to fish the eggs.
He fished out three, one for each person.
Li Longji and Empress Wang blew on the eggs to cool them down.
Li Yi put the cracked eggs on the table and pressed them down. The entire eggshell fell off, revealing the eggs with soy sauce inside.
The two also learned how to do it. With a few moves, they peeled off the egg.
When they ate it, Li Longji and Empress Wang found that compared to sauced beef and smoked chicken, the eggs tasted different.
***
At dawn, Li Yi woke up from thirst. He drank a large cup of water and shook his head: "Third Brother and Sister-in-law can drink too much. I almost drank until I blacked out."
When he got dressed and was about to find Third Brother and Sister-in-law to eat, he was told that the two had left half an hour ago.
"They didn't even eat breakfast before leaving. They came and went in a hurry." Li Yi muttered and went to find something to eat.
Today, Zhuangzi began to work in three shifts. They made bricks, selected coal, laid cement on the playground, dug a hole to lay the foundation, made a magical tool for reaping wheat, drove ducks to the river, enclosed the land and released chickens …
There were so many people in Zhuangzi, but it was not enough.
Li Yi found charcoal and drew clothes. According to the system, clothes for work could not be robes.
Especially when the wheat was harvested and threshed, it was easy to get injured.
As for accidentally getting hit on the hands and arms, there was no risk of death.
Li Yi could deal with this, but his skills were not good.
There was no problem in reattaching a finger. As for restoring the original function … Li Yi expressed his regret.
The people from the clothing store came and measured the people in Zhuangzi.
They looked at the drawings given by Li Yi and said that they could make it. They even saved money.
The people in Zhuangzi were in a bad mood. Why did they have to spend money to make clothes? They could make it themselves.
Not only did Li Yi spend money, but he also paid more.
"Bring all the clothes here in five days. One day in advance, I will give you an extra 10% of your salary." Li Yi said to the people in the clothing store.
The people in the clothing store agreed.
A woman from a military family boldly said: "Bring us the leftovers."
"Understood, understood." The people in the clothing store continued to nod.
