In Li Yi's eyes, the Qiangong Step Bed was just for showing off. As for the bad weather in the south and the mosquito nets, it was pure nonsense.
It was like buying a big plane to fly around because the distance was far. There was no other way. Otherwise, he wouldn't have bought a plane.
The 'qian' in the Qiangong Step Bed was a number, and 'work' was a measure.
An excellent craftsman could only make one bed in a thousand working days.
'Step' was not 'eight'. 'Step' meant to raise one's leg. There were steps inside.
At Li Yi's time, a good Qiangong Step Bed was more expensive than 400 square meters in an ordinary second-tier city.
It was expensive in terms of wood, but the cost of labor was cheap.
That night, Li Yi sent someone to deliver it to Lantian County.
The next morning, many people in Lantian County woke up. The first thing they did was … to go to the toilet.
They knew how to wash their hands. After washing their hands, those who were close to the tent canteen ran there.
Amidst the hawking of the newspaper, they ate a free steamed bun, drank two bowls of free soup, and had some pickled vegetables. Then, they quickly went to work.
They usually ate two meals a day and went to work in the fields in the morning.
If someone cooked for them at home, the food would be sent to the fields at around ten o 'clock in the morning.
After eating, drinking water, resting for a while, the two people worked together.
If there were children, the children would cook and send the food.
Especially girls, they would learn to cook from a young age.
Boys would think of ways to send them to school, hoping that they would be successful.
Now that there was the Li Family Zhuangzi's tent canteen, those who were close would run over and eat in a hurry. After thanking them, they would go to work.
Those who were far away couldn't do anything. The canteen didn't allow takeout.
They could only wait for meal time to come, bring their own staple food and vegetables, and drink the canteen's soup.
The people didn't want to take advantage of this, but their lives were really difficult.
There was oil in the soup, and pickled vegetables were free.
If Li Yi didn't have much money, others would call him stupid.
But he was rich. The people of Lantian County all knew that Li Dongzhu sent food to people on the way back from Luoyang.
If Li Yi went to Lantian County now, he would see anyone who was not sleepy. He would shout at the top of his lungs, "I am Li Yi from the east bank of Ba River. Someone wants to beat me."
That person basically had no chance of surviving. Many people would rush over and beat him up without asking for the reason. They would talk after the fight.
Even the county yamen couldn't do anything about it. There were too many commoners involved.
Zhangsun Xin also discovered this problem. When she woke up in the morning, she saw many people running to the tent to eat, talking about how good Li Dongzhu was.
The county magistrate, deputy county magistrate, three registrars, and two county lieutenants also brought people over for dinner.
There were three officials from the Li Family Zhuangzi who passed the exam. They heard that Zhangsun Xin didn't respect Dongzhu, so they ignored Zhangsun Xin.
As for the other four people, they came here through connections. They had background and backing, and they knew who Zhangsun Xin was. He was the brother-in-law of the Empress.
But so what? If I didn't make any mistakes, would you dare to frame me?
If it was somewhere far away, it would be fine. But this was Lantian County, very close to Chang 'an. Do you believe that we will find someone to impeach you?
"A few days ago, my wife told Empress Wang that she would invite the Empress to the pool here in a few days."
Zhangsun Xin came over and said loudly to the concubine beside him.
Tell others that I am Empress Wang's brother-in-law.
"The Empress is really good. Unfortunately, I have only seen her once. The palace is too busy. It's not easy to come out."
The concubine knew how to cooperate and quickly said that she had actually seen Empress Wang before, but Empress Wang had never "seen" her.
She was a concubine. When Zhangsun Xin's wife went to see her sister, would she bring her husband's concubine?
If Zhangsun Xin didn't work in the palace, he wouldn't have seen Empress Wang.
When he saw her in the palace, he didn't have the right to speak unless Empress Wang took the initiative to talk to him.
Empress Wang's brother was in charge of food. He was in charge of clothes and furniture. Empress Wang was pregnant and didn't eat from the palace.
Only Xi 'er ran back and forth to bring back food from Earthly Paradise.
It wasn't that Empress Wang didn't trust her brother, but that Empress Wang felt that her brother could be deceived.
The two of them echoed each other. The others stood up to greet them, giving face to the Empress, even if the Empress wouldn't come.
The farmers didn't care. The Empress came in person, so they were respectful.
As for you? If you know her, then so be it. My Dongzhu has helped the Empress a lot.
On the fifteenth day of the first month, my Dongzhu specially performed to help the Empress. His Majesty even gave him an official title.
What was it at that time? Oh, Imperial Physician, now Jinzi Guanglu Physician.
"What's there for breakfast this morning? Aiya, it's so hot in the morning. I want to eat something cold. "
Zhangsun Xin sat there, looking at the sky.
A waiter from Drunken Immortal House came over: "Replying to Inspector Zhangsun, there are fried dough sticks, donuts, fried cakes, steamed buns, and steamed buns.
There are two-rice porridge, soy milk, tofu pudding, and bone and wild vegetable soup.
The side dishes are shredded tofu with dried scallion oil, garlic cucumber, garlic eggplant, and cold watermelon rind.
In addition, there are fried eggs, hundred boiled round eggs, salted duck eggs, and salted goose eggs. "
"There are no soup pancakes, oh, no noodles?" Zhangsun Xin deliberately looked for trouble.
In the past, they were all called soup pancakes. Now, everyone changed it according to the habits of the Li Family Zhuangzi and Li Dongzhu.
There were steamed buns, steamed buns, fried dough sticks, fried buns, fried dumplings, rice noodles, cold jelly, Liangpi, and so on.
Li Yi gave the names according to the habits of his side and divided them very carefully.
For example, meat bird's nest and wonton were originally soup pancakes, but Li Yi insisted on separating them.
Wonton, wonton, wonton, and wonton were all the same in Li Yi's eyes. It was just a matter of the fillings and soup.
At Li Yi's time, all the seasonings were present, so there wasn't much difference.
However, the meat bird's nest was taken out by Li Yi alone. The skin of the meat bird's nest wasn't ordinary wheat flour.
It was made with meat and glutinous rice flour, so the overall material was different.
Zhangsun Xin felt that she couldn't say the specific name, so she couldn't keep up with the trend.
Then, the head chef personally cooked the noodles and stir-fried the sauce in a small pot.
He asked: "Do you want cold zhajiangmian or hot zhajiangmian?"
"Can't it be hot zhajiangmian?" Zhangsun Xin insisted on looking for trouble.
"Yes!" The head chef nodded.
"I want cold. I'll heat it up early this morning." Zhangsun Xin was just saying, she didn't really want to eat hot noodles.
"Can I use mushrooms to exchange for a large portion of meat noodles?"
A little girl around ten years old pulled a five or six year old boy to the side and asked.
She carried a small basket with many mushrooms in it.
"Let me see. Ah, such a good mushroom, and it's not poisonous. Are you willing to exchange so many good mushrooms for meat noodles? "
The head chef personally went over to check the mushrooms. He was relieved that there was no poison, so the child was safe.
"En! I'll give it to my brother. Is it enough to exchange for a bowl? "The little girl looked at her brother and raised her other hand to wipe the sweat on her forehead.
"I don't know. Xiao Tan, come and see how much these mushrooms are worth."
The head chef looked at Guan Xiao Tan with a troubled expression.
Guan Xiao Tan trotted over and looked down a few times: "30 coins, at least six bowls of meat noodles."
"Six bowls." The head chef followed the words and said to the little girl.
"So much? My parents are sick, and I'm the only one taking care of my brother. Can I buy it back to eat? "The little girl was happy and conflicted.
Hearing the little girl's words, Guan Xiao Tan frowned and turned to look at a businessman.
The man ran over as fast as he could: "Let me see, let me see. Ah, such good mushrooms, it's better to sell them."
