After dinner, Li Yi went back to his room to copy books. Empress Wang went back to her room for a stroll as she felt it was too hot outside.
Li Longji once again stood on the platform beside the artificial canal with his binoculars and watched the migrant workers build their houses.
In his eyes, it was not about the accommodation of more than 5,000 people, but about the Tang dynasty.
He really wanted to know what the officials were thinking at this moment.
Would they consider the people's income when they were drinking tea?
Would they think about the number of people who drowned every year when they were playing with water when it was hot?
Would they think about how to train an army that could adapt to all environments and terrains when they were talking about the situation at the border?
Would they think about how to make good and cheap paper and ink when they were writing?
Li Longji thought for a while and shook his head. It was useless to think about it anymore.
"I noticed that every time I come, Brother Yi always has something new to talk about."
Li Longji suddenly thought of the past. It seemed that every time he came, there would be something new.
He put away his binoculars and went back to his room. He read the memorials that had just been delivered today, took a bath, and fell asleep very quickly.
On the morning of the second day of the fourth lunar month, it was almost 4: 30 am.
Li Longji woke up and found that he slept very well. He called a few people to the cafeteria.
The people in the cafeteria were busy. They were all very energetic and did not look sleepy. They were changing shifts.
"Make 200 sets of jianbing. Beat the double-sided eggs. 150 with chopped green onions and 50 without chopped green onions and coriander. 200 servings of tofu pudding. Be quick. "Li Longji said to the cafeteria manager.
"Make 20 stoves at the same time." The manager did not hesitate and led people to make the arrangements.
There were fruits in the jianbing, but not crispy skin.
The youtiao was fried in the morning for breakfast. The crispy skin was not very popular as it was easy to break the roof of the mouth.
The dough used to wrap the jianbing was mixed with some warm water and stirred. The jianbing was ready to be served.
Li Longji sat there and waited. He saw that the people in the cafeteria were busy. He did not know what they were doing in the morning, but they finished their work and came to eat after taking a bath.
As the number of people increased, Li Longji found that it was more stable and had a special sense of security.
This had never happened in the palace. In the palace, he would think about who was loyal to him and who was scheming about other things.
'My life as the Emperor is actually not as good as the Dongzhu of Zhuangzi.' Li Longji suddenly sighed in his heart.
He didn't know, or perhaps he didn't want to admit it, that he was afraid of the Imperial City.
Therefore, he was more willing to stay in Xing Qing Palace. There was no Black Tortoise Gate in Xing Qing Palace.
He felt that the Forbidden Garden was too quiet and gloomy, so he placed the Pear Garden there.
"Alright, here are 200 Chinese crepes with double eggs, tofu pudding, and braised pork. It's enough for 300 people." The manager of the cafeteria pushed three food carts over.
Li Longji nodded and got up to leave. The people around him went to push the cart.
After getting into their own cars, the team quickly crossed the bridge and ran toward Chang 'an City.
Once they returned to the Imperial City, Li Longji began to distribute pancakes and tofu pudding.
He didn't know why, but he wanted to bring food back from Zhuangzi for everyone.
When Li Yi woke up, he still didn't see his third brother. When Empress Wang was washing up, she asked Taohong to pass a message that she wanted to eat steamed egg today.
Li Yi had no choice but to remove the yolk and only leave the egg white.
There were a total of six eggs. Five of the yolks were removed, and the remaining yolk was beaten with the egg white and then steamed.
Otherwise, if one ate too many egg yolks, their cholesterol would be too high. If they didn't eat a single egg yolk, they wouldn't be able to help the egg white break down and absorb the cholesterol.
Six eggs, mushrooms, wood ear, fried carrots, chives, and braised pork minced meat were enough to make up the nutritional value.
However, people couldn't just eat nutrients. They also needed to dilute the stomach acid.
Li Yi also arranged for people to make big rice balls with bean flour.
He also added kelp, dried shrimps, radish strips, and pickles.
Taohong stood there and watched Li Yi busily preparing these things. She secretly sighed. Empress Wang was right to live in Zhuangzi.
He could make whatever she wanted to eat and then adjust it according to the pregnant woman's condition.
Not to mention other things, there was no one else in the entire Tang dynasty who had the mind and ability to cook.
It was delicious and wouldn't cause any problems. It was also good for adults and children.
When they came to eat, Empress Wang really liked it and praised Li Yi.
One was comfortable to listen to, and the other was very satisfied with the praise. Gao Lishi came.
He glanced at Empress Wang and said to Li Yi, "Wang Xing asked someone to pass a message that he wanted to find 30 imperial physicians. I'll bring them to you early in the morning."
"Thank you, General Gao. You …" Li Yi glanced at his sister-in-law.
"I'll sit at the table next to you. It won't get in the way." Gao Lishi was good at reading people's expressions and went to wash his hands consciously.
When he came back, he carried a tray of steamed buns and a bowl of braised food. There was no tofu pudding, so it was just braised food.
Li Yi glanced at it and didn't say anything. He had seen a lot of things and drank braised food.
When he went to Henan in the past, he drank spicy soup. Some took it as braised food, and some drank it directly.
"Li Dongzhu, the 30 people I found for you are all experts between 25 and 30 years old. You have to teach them well."
Gao Lishi didn't move his spoon and chopsticks and said something first.
"Learn from each other, communicate, and learn from each other." Li Yi told the truth. He wanted to learn Chinese medicine from others.
He had too few opportunities to practice Chinese medicine in the past. He could only check if a woman was pregnant by feeling the pulse.
He didn't have the ability to judge whether the kidney was Yin or Yang.
"Li Dongzhu, you're too modest." Gao Lishi smiled. He didn't even look at Empress Wang and said, "As long as Li Dongzhu is here, there's no need to be afraid of any illness."
"I'm afraid." Li Yi shook his head hard. What a joke.
He changed the topic, "General Gao, do you still need mushrooms and fungus in the palace? Take some with you when you leave. "
"Okay, I'll take them back and give them to the empress." Gao Lishi agreed very quickly.
Empress Wang, who was eating egg soup with her head lowered, smiled.
Gao Lishi ate very quickly. He finished the tray of steamed buns and the bowl of braised food. He got up and went to Song De to arrange people and get things on the way.
At this time, Empress Wang said, "Uncle, why was the steamed bun he ate so small?"
The steamed bun was much smaller than Shumiao. The key was that it had folds on it.
"I casually said that day that the steamed bun was as big as a sheep's eye. In the end, they insisted on making it. They even came up with some evaluation criteria for the kitchen. This is a white case."
Li Yi said helplessly. The steamed buns he ate at that time were also not small.
The steamed buns made by the farmers were only two centimeters in diameter. They were very pocket-sized. It was not a problem to eat three steamed buns in one bite.
The skin was so thin that it was transparent. The stuffing could also be added inside.
"How did you make it?" Empress Wang was still puzzled by the steamed bun.
"Bamboo tweezers, like embroidery." Li Yi gave the answer.
The steamed bun was made of dough. After steaming, it was two centimeters in diameter. How small was it when it was not steamed?
"Uncle, are you going to teach more people your medical skills?" Empress Wang thought about it and understood. She asked another question.
"I'm too busy. As Zhuangzi's medical skills improve, I can make some medicines myself.
For example, I have a way to test for penicillin in antibiotics. It can guarantee a certain level of safety. At the same time, it can test for sensitivity. "
Li Yi told her his follow-up plan. He didn't want to change to penicillin. He wanted to try to cultivate it himself.
