As Yao Chong spoke, he touched the chair and found that it was indeed quite good.
The chair and table were foldable. They were Li Yi's things for long periods of time.
Nowadays, chairs had backrests, but they were made of pure wood instead of metal.
Otherwise, there were only chairs, praying mats, folding stools, and benches.
There was also something special for backrests, which was the upper part of the chair.
Find a place to lean on and support it, then sit cross-legged on the ground.
Generally, only rich people had them. Ordinary people could only eat by squatting.
"Brother Yi, let's eat in your courtyard." Li Longji didn't want to eat in the cafeteria. There were too many people. What if something was heard?
"Third brother is right. This old man insisted on eating in the cafeteria." Li Chengqi sold out Yao Chong.
Yao Chong was angry.
Li Yi politely said to Yao Chong, "Old man, let's eat together? These two brothers of mine are both relatives of the emperor. "
"Okay." Yao Chong wanted to go as if he didn't understand the hint.
So what if they're relatives of the emperor? I'm the prime minister.
It's just a meal. Why can't I eat with His Majesty?
You silly boy, relatives of the emperor?
So the five people returned to Li Yi's courtyard. The eunuchs and palace maids were in place. They brought water to wash their hands and were responsible for putting the dishes on the table.
Then they retreated far away. They shouldn't listen to things that they shouldn't hear.
Yao Chong felt a toothache. Is Li Yi an external minister?
I can't eat with His Majesty and the Empress unless it's a special occasion.
"Third brother and sister-in-law came in the rain. Do you feel unwell? Cui Liu, bring the thermometer and take my sister-in-law to check alone. "
Li Yi naturally cared about their health.
Cui Liu agreed and brought Empress Wang in.
Li Longji directly stuffed the thermometer under his armpit. While waiting, he said to Li Yi, "How do we solve the problem of dampness in the rain?"
"Third Brother, you can put the pieces of charcoal in small bags and place them in every corner of the house, especially the damp areas."
"In addition to charcoal, lime and quicklime can also be stored in small bags to absorb moisture."
"But there are too many bags of quicklime. We need to open the windows to prevent the quicklime from heating up when it comes into contact with water."
Li Yi proposed two methods, the latter of which had requirements.
"I'll try it when we get home," Li Longji said with a smile. He reached out and touched Li Yi's head.
Li Yi: "…"
Why couldn't he avoid it?
Yao Chong: "…"
So the dampness in the house can be solved this way? His Majesty asked as soon as he arrived, and Li Yi answered directly.
"If you sweat a lot, especially under your armpits, what if your clothes get wet?" Li Longji asked again.
"Let me take a look," Li Yi said as he washed his hands again. Then, he put his hand under Li Longji's armpit.
He took it out, looked at it, smelled it, and washed his hands.
"Third Brother, it's not a big deal. If you still feel uncomfortable, you can use that cloth to cushion your armpits or make clothes."
"Today, I'll plant the seeds that Big Brother found in the manor. When the time comes, I'll weave comfortable cloth and send it to Big Brother, Third Brother, and other brothers."
Li Yi explained the situation and mainly used clothes to adjust it.
"Do you have medicine?" Li Longji asked again.
"Medicine. Raw Astragalus, stir-fried Atractylodes Macrocephala, add Fangfeng powder, and use honey to make big honey pills. Take it orally. Five portions of raw Astragalus, two portions each of stir-fried Atractylodes Macrocephala and Fangfeng. "
Li Yi gave him the prescription. There were many of these in the system.
He would occasionally read it when he was studying medicine. When he was studying Western medicine, he would learn Chinese medicine. He was used to it.
Yao Chong listened on the side and understood why His Majesty and the Empress always went to Li Yi and Zhuangzi.
They were just chatting before the meal, but this young man answered whatever His Majesty asked.
He answered every question. It was too scary.
How did he learn? Even if he started learning when he was in his mother's womb, he couldn't have learned so many skills, right?
Li Chengqi saw Yao Chong's surprised look and looked at him with disdain. He thought to himself, "Prime Minister, haha!"
Li Yi went out of the kitchen and came back with hot hand-grilled mutton and lamb face in half a quarter of an hour.
Not long after, Empress Wang also came out.
Holding the thermometer in her hand, she looked around and said, "Uncle, I'll keep this."
"Sister-in-law, just use it." Li Yi didn't care.
Li Longji took out his thermometer. Li Yi taught him how to read it. It was 36.6 degrees. No problem. He also gave this thermometer.
"Do you drink?" Li Yi asked Yao Chong.
"Sorry to trouble Li Dongzhu." Yao Chong said.
Li Chengqi and Li Yi also drank. Li Longji and Empress Wang drank soup.
Empress Wang was taking medicine to see if she could have a baby. She didn't drink.
Yao Chong was indeed hungry. He was also a little cold. It was raining outside, so he didn't wear many clothes.
He drank a mouthful of wine first, then the soup in the steam-pot chicken. He let out a long breath and felt better.
Turning his head, he remembered something and said to Li Yi, "Li Dongzhu, I have cramps in my legs and sweat at night. Sometimes my body aches. What's wrong with me?"
Li Yi was in a difficult position. He felt that many diseases were suitable for this question.
However, looking at the old man's complexion and the way he walked, he gave the diagnosis with the highest probability.
"Do you drink milk?" Li Yi asked.
"Li Dongzhu, what do you mean?" Yao Chong was angry.
"Don't worry, don't worry." Li Yi opened his hands and made a small gesture of surrender.
"Listen to Brother Yi." Li Longji said.
"Sir, do you drink milk from cows and goats? Do you eat kun bu? There are sour horns in the south. They should be sold in Chang 'an. Do you eat chicken liver and pig liver? "
"If you don't eat much, eat more. Take advantage of the sunny weather and bask in the sun outside. "
Li Yi gave a solution. He judged that the old man lacked calcium.
He could directly give a comprehensive calcium tablet, but why? It would cost his lifespan.
"Is … is that so?" Yao Chong understood. He gave a prescription, but it was all about food and basking in the sun.
"I'm sorry for offending you. I'll give it a try when I get back." Yao Chong cupped his fist.
He believed most of it and wanted to ask the medical doctors.
"Uncle, the pillows in your house are better for me to sleep. I'll take a few back. What's inside?" Empress Wang was afraid that Yao Chong would feel awkward and changed the topic.
"Rice husks and wheat bran. It's slightly tighter when you're filling it. It'll be soft when you sleep. It's more comfortable than ceramic pillows, wooden pillows, and silk pillows."
Li Yi introduced the pillows in Zhuangzi. He liked this kind of pillow. Press the two sides of the pillow and the middle one would be hard. Then, move the head on the pillow and adjust it.
In summer, there was no quilt to hug, so he prepared an extra pillow. It was cool and comfortable to hug.
Yao Chong listened at the side and took note of the various foods that Li Yi mentioned.
Then, he suddenly found that he was very willing to stay on Zhuangzi. He would have the answer to anything he asked.
Moreover, Zhuangzi looked very warm and warm. There was no fighting and scheming.
Wasn't the manor in front of him exactly what he had imagined in his dreams?
The young man beside him was always so cheerful as if nothing could stop him. Even the farmers often smiled.
If every household in the Tang dynasty was like this …
Yao Chong suddenly shivered and dared not to think about it.
That would be the golden age of the Tang dynasty.
It was no wonder that His Majesty and the Empress always wanted to go to Zhuangzi to eat together and talk. They were in a good mood.
"Old man, do you like to eat fish?" Li Yi drank a mouthful of wine and remembered that the old man lacked calcium. There was no other way. It was a professional habit.
"Yes. Steamed fish is okay, but it's not good to make it fishy." Yao Chong answered honestly with a look of expectation.
"I have a good idea. Ask the servant to fry the fish in soybean oil first. Don't let the fish be too big. It can't fit in a pot."
"Fry it until it's golden brown on both sides. Add some onion and ginger slices. If possible, add soy sauce and some wine. Generally, half a bowl is enough. Cover the pot and boil it on high heat. Then simmer it on low heat. Then, add the juice on high heat. It's delicious."
Li Yi taught Yao Chong how to cook the fish.
Li Longji, Empress Wang, and Li Chengqi were all listening.
When it came to eating, they had nothing to say to Brother Yi. They just needed to do as he said.
Yao Chong was fine with other things, but when he heard about soy sauce, he felt uncomfortable. What did he mean by adding soy sauce if possible? Your family can eat soy sauce casually, but mine is very expensive.
