"Big brother, third brother, sister-in-law, I'll go ask him. I guess it's because of the rain, and the fungus can't grow well. I'll ask brother Wang, keep this a secret."
Li Yi left the table and followed Wang Xing out.
Outside, in the heavy rain, Wang Xing stretched out two fingers, "Two. They were buried last night, and the rain was heavy. They cried and ran away. I brought some men to dig them out, and finished the graves."
Wang Xing did not have any complaints. Since Prime Minister Yao was here, what was the point of doing some work?
"Thank you brother Wang. Quick, follow me to the back." Li Yi brought Wang Xing and the three eunuchs to move the two corpses inside.
Li Yi examined the corpses and confirmed that they were not faking their deaths. Otherwise, they would have been saved.
"Brother Wang, bring them to bathe. Throw away their clothes and change. We'll have a drink later." Li Yi said happily to Wang Xing.
"No, no, no. Brother Yi, after bathing and changing my clothes, I'll eat in the canteen. I have no time to entertain you."
Wang Xing refused. Have a drink together? Don't joke.
"Alright, brother Wang, come back in ten days." Li Yi gave a time limit. In ten days, he had finished the two cadavers. It was somewhat extravagant.
Wang Xing brought the three eunuchs to bathe happily. They had recently made a lot of money from selling steamed chicken.
They just helped dig a grave, and it was not like they would not return it. It was a small matter.
Li Yi took care of the two corpses. They must not rot. He exchanged them for formalin and placed them in the large glass cylinder that he had exchanged for earlier.
Only then did he feel relieved. He was not afraid of any problems.
Li Yi bowed to the two corpses, "Thank you. I'm sorry to have disturbed you. Your contributions will definitely bring medicine to new heights, and save more lives. I will treat everyone who needs treatment with pure professionalism. I will do my best, and not hesitate. "
At this moment, Li Yi was solemn and dignified. Then, he strode out.
When Li Longji and the rest saw Li Yi again, they found that his temperament was different.
His gaze was more determined. Even if his clothes were wet, he did not look embarrassed.
"I'll go change first," Li Yi said as he ran into the house.
"Your Majesty, is there something going on?" Yao Chong was more sensitive.
"It's fine." Li Longji denied without thinking. It was fine even if something happened.
"Your Majesty, I still want Li Yi to enter the imperial court, even if …"
"I don't want to." Li Longji refused again, not giving Prime Minister Yao any face. He was not like this in the past.
"But Your Majesty, his abilities …"
"Zhen and the Empress can come here a few more times." Li Longji gave a solution.
Whenever he had nothing to do, he would come over and bring the Empress along. If he wanted to ask anything, he would ask. Anyway, Brother Yi seemed to know everything.
Li Chengqi chimed in, "Yao Xiang, don't even think about Brother Yi. Do you think you're the only one who thinks he's good? How about this? You go home and cook fish. I'll make soy sauce for you. "
"King Song, are you trying to bribe this minister?" Yao Chong glared at Wang Chong. He wanted to settle all the grudges he had with King Song. Don't you know how many times you have looked at me with disdain?
"Soy sauce isn't worth much, how can it be considered as a bribe? Isn't that right, third brother?" Li Chengqi asked.
As soon as he spoke of this, Yao Chong's temper flared up. Soy sauce isn't worth much?
How could you say something like that? King Song, have some shame.
"Yuanzhi, bring 20 jin of soy sauce from the palace tomorrow to cook fish."
Li Longji said. He was worried that something might happen to Yao Chong. His health was important, and soy sauce wasn't worth much.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yao Chong felt like crying. He didn't know if he was crying because of the good stuff His Majesty gave him, or because the good stuff wasn't that valuable.
Why was a drop of soy sauce from the cafeteria in Zhuangzi so hard to come by?
This Li Yi was too smart. He turned soy sauce into a tribute and even pulled the Empress to sell the hundred boiled eggs together.
He gave up 70% of the profits just like that. What a heartless person.
Why would a young man do such a thing?
"Come, come, come. I took some time to peel a reed just now. Soak the skin in vinegar. Have a taste."
Li Yi came out just as Yao Chong was feeling conflicted.
He even brought out a plate of radish skin.
Yao Chong looked at the radish skin and didn't feel like eating it. He asked, "Why isn't the reed used to make dishes?"
"It's just chafing. I didn't store enough ice last winter, so I couldn't bear to use it to suppress the reed. Once the temperature was high, the reed would come into contact with too much oxygen and lose its water content. Thus, it chafed. "
Li Yi tried to reason with them, but no one understood.
Li Yi felt that the name 'reed' was a little awkward, so he said, "I call the reed radish. It's written in the Qiming Encyclopedia, but the planting method is similar to that of pine, so the yield isn't high. "
Li Longji and the others didn't care about the fact that the reed was called radish.
However, when they heard Li Yi say that it was the same as that of pine, the yield wasn't high, Li Longji asked, "Is there a way to increase the yield?"
"There is." Li Yi answered.
Yao Chong raised his hand to his forehead. He was worried. He knew everything. When he became an official in the future, he wouldn't be able to control him.
Yao Chong still wanted to control Li Yi, but he didn't know that Li Yi and Li Longji had degraded him.
"We grow radishes here. Usually, they are planted at the end of summer and the beginning of autumn. They are harvested at the end of autumn and the beginning of winter …"
Li Yi began to speak. In fact, he was reading from the book. Otherwise, he wouldn't have memorized this kind of knowledge.
Now, he didn't even know how to memorize it. When he had time, he would read medical books. He had to memorize medical books so that he could quickly remember when he encountered an illness.
The eunuch wrote at the side. Li Yi didn't speak quickly.
The eunuch also wrote a lot of wrong words, but it was already good. At least, the palace maids and eunuchs who were assigned to Zhuangzi could write.
When they had free time, the palace maids and eunuchs would look for books to read. When they were rotated, they could also take a few books and soy sauce with them.
Then, they would wait for the first three shifts to be rotated. The fourth shift would be transferred back.
There were a total of sixteen people. If anyone didn't perform well and was replaced by someone else, it would be useless even if they cried to death.
They talked while eating, and the young eunuch wrote.
It was still raining outside.
Li Longji listened to the sound of the rain and showed a sad expression, "I don't know how many people's wheat will become moldy."
"Third Brother, Brother Yi had a method just now. Use salt. If it rains for days, the wheat can't be dried out. But two hundred catties of wheat can be mixed with three catties of salt. When the time comes, a lot of salt can be sifted out."
Li Chengqi remembered what he asked before.
Yao Chong echoed, "That's right. The wheat that the Zhang Family Village harvested later has already been properly settled in Master Li's manor."
"Any kind of salt is fine?" Li Longji didn't doubt whether the method was right. He cared about the salt used.
"Naturally, fine salt is the best. But fine salt is difficult to recover after use, and the price is high. It's better to use coarse salt."
Li Yi was not satisfied with any kind of salt from the Tang dynasty.
When he made soap in Zhuangzi, he also processed the salt and turned it into fine salt. Unfortunately, there was no iodine to add.
Thinking of iodine, Li Yi said to everyone, "In summer, eat more spinach and celery. The oysters by the sea are not valuable. You can ask someone to dry them and ship them here."
Li Yi wanted everyone to supplement iodine. As for another good iodine supplement, kelp, now called kunbu, was very expensive.
Clams were also expensive, but not many people ate oysters.
Seaweed … seaweed was expensive even in the world of artificial farming, let alone here.
People by the sea didn't eat oysters, just like how they didn't eat sea cabbage.
Only later did things become valuable. Sea cabbage, which was used to feed ducks, became a delicious side dish.
Many people called oysters, and it was no longer something that poor people ate when they were hungry.
Li Yi said and thought, and he slandered himself.
He wanted to eat seafood, but kunbu didn't want it. How could kelp be better than scallops?
