"We're still eating fried beef at night. Will the oil be too much and affect feeding the children?"
Empress Wang finished the steak and also ate a lot of vegetables and mushroom soup. She wanted to continue eating but was worried that she didn't have enough milk.
"It's okay to eat one or two meals. We'll eat egg brew tomorrow morning with beef stuffing. It's already frozen so there's no need to worry about it spoiling."
Li Yi's voice was gentle as if he was talking to someone who was seeking medical treatment. He was used to it.
Li Chengqi had tried several brews, but he had never eaten egg brew.
"How do you make egg brew?" He asked naturally.
"When the egg is cooked, peel off the skin and fry the outside with oil. Cut it open, take out the egg yolk and put the meat stuffing in.
At this time, you can put the egg yolk on top, but it's not good to eat too much egg yolk. It's best to have more meat stuffing without covering the yolk.
Steam it in a pot and make juice from another pot. When it's done, pour the juice on top. "
Li Yi said it simply, but it took a long time to make it.
The three of them were discussing the issue of food, but the Tubo people in Honglu Temple were full of worries.
The leader of the Tubo people knew the price of alcohol. There was a price of one thousand coins for members and two thousand coins for non-members.
According to this price, it would be better to use the money to make weapons than to raise a hot air balloon.
He was ready to bargain, but he was worried that Li Yi wouldn't give in.
When he left the place of the officials of Honglu Temple today, he had been bribing people.
Others wanted what he gave, saying that they would help him.
Some people were of high rank and took the initiative to hand in the benefits after receiving instructions. They would get 10% of the reward.
Some people were of low rank and didn't know the situation, but they were greedy. They were admiring the things they got, but they didn't give a single cent.
"The French are rich." Li Longji invited the three prime ministers and Wei Zhigu to have lunch together.
They ate roast lamb made by the chefs sent by Earthly Paradise. They built a shed in front of Xingqing Palace.
There was an ice basin in the shed and someone was running a fan to cool the food.
They also used knives and forks and had separate meals.
Li Longji wouldn't take food from the same plate as them. It wasn't a matter of dislike, it was a matter of status.
The emperor sat at the head of the table, and the ministers were arranged according to their official positions.
Li Longji sighed with emotion when he received the report from Huang Men.
The four ministers didn't say anything. They didn't want to say anything.
The news from the Shu Lands came back, saying that there was already a brine well in the land that His Majesty had 'bought'.
How many salt wells were there in total? Now there was one more.
He believed that as more drilling equipment was used, Li Yi's choice of location would come one after another.
Not only could it produce brine, but it could also produce gas.
At the same time, they received news yesterday that His Majesty had sent people to Lantian County to look for gold mines and found a place with golden sand.
It was also Li Yi's location, but it was so accurate.
There were salt wells and gold mines. You say that others are rich?
"Why aren't you all saying anything?" Li Longji wanted to reprimand Tubo, but the ministers did not cooperate.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Whoever obtains Li Yi will obtain the world." Zhang Shuo thought in his heart. In a moment of panic, he blurted it out.
Li Longji paused, thought about it, and smiled. "Daoji is right."
He understood what he meant. After discovering the golden sand yesterday, the three prime ministers wanted to ask Li Yi if there were any other places.
Not to mention gold mines, copper mines, silver mines, or good iron mines, anything would do.
He naturally wouldn't agree. What was there to ask? There were so many people in the Tang dynasty prospecting. Let them find it.
I want to share the profits. Let me tell you, you have suddenly become the property of the left, no, the right. How can you give Li Yi a share of the profits?
"Your Majesty, the people are waiting for the matter of the foreign countries. Can the imperial court help?"
Yao Chong mentioned the war between the Li Family Zhuangzi and the foreign countries.
Yes, it was a war. One wanted to cheat, and the other wanted to fight back.
The people of Chang 'an understood the cause and effect. They hoped that the Li Family Zhuangzi could fight back.
Li Longji smiled naturally. "In a few days, the people will know that it's a foregone conclusion."
"Your Majesty, do you want to keep it a secret?" Lu Huaishen swallowed the mutton with rice wine.
"It's like this. The night of the Dragon Boat Festival was a special night. The moon rose early, and before the people could see it clearly, it leaned to the west …"
Li Longji, who was in a good mood, told the officials a story.
The four of them had to stop eating and sit there to listen patiently. They were very dissatisfied.
In layman's terms, "Your Majesty, you're too lousy. Are you trying to make up the number of words?"
As if he understood the officials' thoughts, Li Longji changed the topic. "There were six thieves who used reeds to sneak under the bridge. After a while, they went ashore, hid from the patrolling guards, went to the workshop, and climbed into the data room through the window. They left with the map."
Yao Chong and the other three: "…"
It was too boring to listen to. Was it over? What about the exciting process?
"What happened after that?" The four of them asked tacitly.
"The map was fake. Li Yi made it in advance. In order to let them find the place accurately, he even set up signs and lanterns to point the way.
When they took it, they could only make the balloons and hanging basket outside. They didn't have an alcohol burner, but they would buy alcohol. "
After Li Longji finished speaking, he focused on dealing with the meat and stopped talking.
Looking at your expressions, I wanted to say it properly and add some modifiers, but you didn't want to. If I simplified it, you complained.
Yao Chong and the other three understood. It turned out that they were earning back the money they lost by selling alcohol.
They knew that hot air balloons consumed a lot of alcohol, and there was a big jar of alcohol in the hanging basket.
Not to mention the fact that the foreigners didn't have an alcohol burner, even if they did, how could they fight a war if they relied on alcohol?
"Your Majesty, in that case, Li Yi had already predicted this and was willing to sell the newspaper to them?" Wei Zhigu frowned.
He didn't say the other words in his heart.
Li Longji waved his hand: "No, Brother Yi had other plans. He didn't rely on guessing others' actions. He just had an extra method to prevent them from bumping into us. "
"Good, it's good that he didn't rely on luck." Wei Zhigu was relieved.
Zhang Shuo and the other two also breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that Li Yi would gamble.
In their hearts, Li Yi was as steady as Mount Tai, and not someone who took risks.
Yao Chong always wanted to find an opportunity to suppress Li Yi, but it didn't mean that he was willing to see the day when Li Yi was at his wit's end.
His heart was conflicted. He wanted to weaken Li Yi's influence, but he also felt that Li Yi could solve all problems at the critical moment.
Without a burden in his heart, everyone found that the roasted lamb tasted better than before.
After lunch, Li Longji saw that he had nothing to do in the afternoon, so he returned to Zhuangzi to see his son.
When he saw the little boy, the little boy was lying there and making a sound.
"Ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh …"
"What's wrong?" Li Longji was puzzled. Was he sick? Something was wrong.
"He was crying just now. Uncle came over and called out to him. After a while, he stopped crying and learned. Now he can make three kinds of sounds. Ugh, ugh, ugh."
Empress Wang whispered to Li Longji what happened and the result.
Li Longji still didn't understand.
"Uncle said that as long as a child can cry, he can slowly adjust to make other sounds. Usually, the sounds that are close to crying are actually closed accents.
When he grows up and is ready to learn to speak, the easiest thing to learn is to open accents. "
Empress Wang told Li Longji what she heard from Li Yi.
