Zhuangzi's team returned to Zhuangzi before dawn. The lanterns in Zhuangzi were not as sparse as those in Chang 'an. They were densely packed.
There was also the smell of sulfur from fireworks. Obviously, the villagers had also set off fireworks.
When the children reached home, some of them came down by themselves. Some of them were asleep and were carried down.
Today, they were in the limelight. They would be more confident in the future.
Li Yi went to his bathtub alone to relax.
He made some barbecued meat and poured rice wine. He was ready to eat while soaking.
When he thought of tonight's program, he smiled.
He hummed in Cantonese, "Flowing ~ in the moon! Night! That! Therefore! Matter ~ ~ will! Starlight! Place! Also! Shine! Bright ~ ~ as if ~ a legend is alive! In! This! World! Light ~ ~ for ~ your ~ everlasting ~ love! Sing ~ softly … "
Just like what he sang, tonight's program was quickly spreading in Chang 'an.
The stories, poems, and songs in the program.
It made many people believe that the Lantern Festival every year was the day to find the other half of their previous life.
Those who were already married were even more affectionate. They pitied the people in front of them.
The birth rate after 10 months was estimated to be very high. They would realize that it was only a few days away from their birthdays.
When Xin Yan and her team returned to Pyong Kang Square, they were treated very well. Many people kept calling them sisters.
They hoped that there would be such fun activities in the future. It was free of charge. They would be sponsored by friends.
Fame was not only based on one's own ability.
When Xin Yan and her team went to Li Yi and Zhuangzi to rehearse, some people were secretly laughing at them.
How many customers would they lose if they went for so many days?
Now, they understood that Xin Yan and her team had gained a lot of benefits.
***
16th day of the Lunar New Year, dawn.
The children who were tired last night were still sleeping. No one went to wake them up.
Li Chengqi did not leave. He yawned and found Li Yi in the canteen's private room.
"There will be another batch of people going to the seaside to guide the aquaculture and recruit the fishermen from the fishing village. Brother Ren has also arranged for the people who trade with the Khitans."
He was talking about serious business — making money.
He was better than the Prime Minister, Chang 'an, and the others. For the sake of political achievements, those people always wanted to take things from Li Yi.
If it wasn't for the fact that Li Yi needed to increase his lifespan, he would have trapped them long ago.
Li Chengqi wanted to earn money together. He provided manpower and effort while Li Yi provided ideas.
Li Yi naturally knew who was truly good to him.
"If you want to raise them, the people by the sea will naturally be willing to do a good job when you get the benefits. Once it's stable, let's raise pearls. "
Li Yi still had other ways to make money. He could just throw out things like the Rubik's Cube.
"Pearl? Can pearls be raised? "Li Chengqi knew that pearls could be played with, eaten, and smeared on one's face. Every year, the Prince's Mansion consumed a lot of pearls.
"Yes, there are many ways to raise them in a big shell. The best way is to plant them and stuff the foreign objects inside. Eventually, the beads will come out. One or two years won't do. It has to be longer."
Li Yi didn't keep it a secret from his big brother. Besides, if he could raise pearls, he would have become a god.
Li Chengqi believed him. "It's not a problem for a few years. After all, I'll ask someone to do it. We still have other things to do. Days will pass."
He understood some things. Looking at the shells, the shells were big and old. If there were pearls, the pearls would be bigger than the small shells.
"After dinner, I'll write it down. Big Brother, you can teach people." Li Yi picked up a fried dumpling and dipped it in the garlic sauce.
There was no Yuanxiao. If no one said there was, Li Yi wouldn't make it.
He didn't like Yuanxiao because it was sticky and made his stomach uncomfortable. He also didn't like mooncakes because they were too oily.
Naturally, Zongzi was also not good for the stomach. He could eat one or two. If he could eat a lot, it meant that his stomach was strong enough. He often ate this kind of glutinous rice noodles.
Therefore, Zhuangzi made dumplings yesterday. Eating dumplings was a sacred thing in the northern region.
Ordinary people couldn't eat dumplings every day, not even vegetarian dumplings. They could only keep a little of the wheat they grew. The rest was yellow rice.
Then there was sorghum, millet, and so on.
Planting yellow rice, sorghum, millet, barley, and other crops required less manpower.
Planting rice required the most manpower. Even if they were planted, they still had to divert and release water.
Therefore, they made too many dumplings yesterday. The weather was no longer suitable for freezing. They were steamed and left for the whole night.
Everyone tried their best to eat breakfast today. It wouldn't taste good if they continued to steam. There was no microwave.
He fried the dumplings on the pan and wrote: Bite it slowly. Don't break it. Dongzhu still has to treat it for you.
What simple words. Li Yi was very careful. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to treat it himself. The problem was the pain.
Li Chengqi also chose a dumpling. While dipping it in vinegar, he said, "Brother Yi, only in Zhuangzi can you realize that eating dumplings with meat and vegetables in winter is a burden."
Li Yi drank a mouthful of rice soup. It was very thin porridge. There were only a few rice grains in the bowl.
The leftover rice from yesterday was boiled with water today.
After swallowing it, Li Yi said, "I forgot that children can't eat when they are excited. Otherwise, these leftover dumplings might not be enough. Don't look down on them. They can eat a lot and grow."
"Aren't you going to wake them up for breakfast?" Li Chengqi felt that he had to be strict and cultivate good habits.
"They were too excited yesterday. Their bodies haven't recovered yet. When they wake up, they are listless. They can't eat well and are still sleepy.
They can't sleep well, are short, or lack calcium. These are not good for their development.
If they don't want to go to school, it means that there is a problem with their education. I have to change it and guide them with interest. "
Li Yi criticized himself. The children were happy when he said they had a holiday. It meant that there was a problem with their education.
They didn't like to study when they were in school. After graduation, they found that they were willing to learn something because of their interest and professional needs.
Why did they have to wait until after graduation? Who said that children don't have needs?
Li Chengqi listened carefully. He had children at home and so did his brother.
"Brother Yi, do you have a good idea?" Li Chengqi asked.
"Try it tomorrow and see if it works." Li Yi nodded and prepared to change the teaching.
Nowadays, children learn the Three Character Classic, Thousand Character Classic, mainly writing and Hanyu Pinyin.
Who would want to practice writing? If he didn't want to maintain the same interest as a big client, he wouldn't have practiced calligraphy.
As for music, he was forced to learn it by his parents. When he played the piano, he felt sleepy. When he grew up, he found that it was useless for him to eat, but it could be used to show off.
"Okay, Brother Yi, let me know when you are done." Li Chengqi wanted to see the effect.
After breakfast, Li Yi wrote a book on how to raise pearls and let Li Chengqi take it away.
Li Yi began to adjust the teaching content for the children tomorrow.
At ten o 'clock in the morning, the children woke up one after another. They rubbed their eyes and went to take a bath.
After he was done washing up, he ate lunch as breakfast.
At first, they were still unable to eat. After a few mouthfuls, their bodies returned to normal. They were all energetic and ate with all their might.
Li Yi sat not far away and watched, thinking about how to make the children happy to study tomorrow.
