"Don't worry, Brother Yi. I've already sent someone. I heard that the people in Chang 'an say that compared to clams, oysters are more smelly and unclean. "
Li Chengqi heard that oysters were not delicious.
"I'll make them very good. Brother, those oysters … are aphrodisiac." Li Yi revealed a secret.
Li Chengqi was instantly energized, "Really?"
"Of course." Li Yi was certain.
"Good, delicious." Li Chengqi immediately regarded oysters as a delicacy.
As soon as he finished speaking, he looked up and saw a man in his forties walking over with four coachmen. He was stunned.
Li Yi also saw him and was puzzled. Who is it?
"Who are you?" He greeted.
"My surname is Zhang and my name is Hong." The man introduced himself and nodded at Li Chengqi with a smile.
Li Chengqi, "…"
He thought to himself, Yao Chong came over for a stroll, and you, Zhang Shuo, have nothing to do? Nothing happened in the Political Affairs Hall?
"I was passing by the village when I heard frogs croaking, so I came over." Another prime minister, Zhang Shuo, told Li Yi why he came.
Li Yi did not believe it because there were not many frogs and they had just laid their eggs.
There are frogs laying eggs in the bushes by the roadside. Why did you have to come to Zhuangzi to listen?
West of Zhuangzi is Ba River. Why didn't you listen by the river?
"This is the strange fragrance in the city, right?" Zhang Shuo said and pointed at the stinky tofu.
Li Yi understood and threw two into the pot for him to taste. It turned out that he wanted to eat the stinky tofu.
Well, it's not officially sold yet, so I'll give it to him for free.
Zhang Shuo was welcome. When it was fried, he would also take small bites.
Li Yi thought of something and turned to his brother, "Brother, there is a kind of frog in the northern part of Hebei Province. When the season comes, it will run into the forest."
"Is there?" Li Chengqi had never heard of a frog that ran into the forest.
"Brother, can you ask someone to fill a wooden bucket with frog eggs and send them here? I want to raise them and eat them." Li Yi said.
"Eat them? The frogs in the fields can't be eaten? "Li Chengqi didn't understand.
"That frog is different from this one. Eating it will prolong one's life." Li Yi mentioned the northeastern forest frog, which had toad oil.
The Imperial Plantation above Zhuangzi and the Zhang Clan's Village below had a lot of forests.
It was just right for them to breed forest frogs. Raising forest frogs together with the village was indeed a good thing and could make them rich.
"How soon do you want it delivered?" Li Chengqi was tempted again. That oyster for aphrodisiac and that one for longevity were all good things.
"Of course, the faster the better. Can you find an urgent message from 800 Miles?" Li Yi remembered the urgent message from 800 Miles.
Zhang Shuo swallowed the stinky tofu in his mouth and said, "How can we use the imperial court's urgent report?"
"Does it have anything to do with you?" Li Chengqi asked Zhang Shuo.
"I … I'm also concerned about national affairs," Zhang Shuo explained. 'That's right, I can't just say that I'm the prime minister, right?'
Turning his head, Li Chengqi said to Li Yi, "Brother Yi, eight hundred li is not enough."
Zhang Shuo was satisfied. That was right!
Li Chengqi added, "Unless it's an urgent military situation, you can't use it. However, I'll help you think of a way for six hundred li. "
Zhang Shuo glared at him. 'King Song, how dare you! Even six hundred li is not enough. '
"Big brother, don't make things difficult for me. I'm prepared to give you money to carry the frogs' eggs. I'll give you ten carvings for each person carrying half a catty of frogs' eggs."
Li Yi brought up the matter of money. He didn't want the other party to run for nothing. He should bribe the higher-ups and the people who ran would also get some money.
"Give money?" Li Chengqi didn't want to give money.
"It's not easy. It can be considered as subsidizing their household expenses. In their hands, each person should get ten carvings for each catty, right?"
Li Yi wasn't too sure. It depended on whether the higher-ups were greedy or not.
A thousand carvings. Now that the price of wheat was low, they could buy more noodles to eat.
The rest of the money could be used to raise horses at the relay station. How could it be easy to raise horses?
Zhang Shuo heard the amount of money. Ten carvings per catty. It wouldn't be a problem for each person to carry ten catties per horse.
Ten people would make a trip and they would get a thousand carvings. That was a million dollars.
This Li Yi was indeed rich. He could earn a lot of money every day by selling soy sauce.
Zhang Shuo supported his idea. There weren't any wars in the north of Hebei Province.
Let everyone run around and treat it as training for soldiers. At the same time, they could earn money.
"Alright, Brother Yi. You are indeed benevolent. How much do you want? "Li Chengqi asked about the quantity.
"The more the better. I will raise them in the fields and feed them. There are also some paddy fields where the density of crabs is high."
Li Yi hadn't forgotten about the matter of the crabs. He had already found someone to buy sprouts.
If the density of the crabs was high, they would have to be fed. However, the lack of oxygen in the water wouldn't happen.
Zhang Shuo didn't say anything to stop him. Although this was a private matter and he could impeach King Song and arrest Li Yi for punishment.
However, the imperial court didn't reward Li Yi for taking out so many good things. This matter should be a reward for him.
"Li Dongzhu, are you selling Qi Xiang?" Zhang Shuo asked. He wanted to buy stinky tofu.
"Yes, Qing Fang is a hundred carvings per piece. Qi Xiang … … fifty carvings per piece."
Li Yi thought that deep fried stinky tofu would take a short time to make, so he decided to sell it at half price.
Zhang Shuo's beard trembled as he sighed. Indeed, everything was expensive.
Previously, when Yao Chong and His Majesty came, they brought back Qing Fang. At that time, he heard Yao Chong complaining that it was a hundred carvings per piece.
Today, the Qing Fang seemed to be the same as the Qing Fang. One was stinky while the other wasn't.
Also, if the Qi Xiang wasn't fried, why did it look like a piece of blackened tofu?
Thinking of this, he immediately asked, "Qi Xiang is a stinky tofu?"
Li Yi: "… …"
Zhang Shuo continued, "If ordinary tofu is fried, the juice from the Qing Fang might not taste bad."
Li Yi: "… …"
Li Chengqi was nervous, "Don't spout nonsense. How can tofu be like this? How would you dare to eat stinky tofu? "
Zhang Shuo understood. It's tofu. Stinky tofu, fifty carvings per piece.
Can Li Yi's heart be any darker?
"Twenty carvings for the same dish. Give me a Qing Fang jar." Zhang Shuo requested to earn an extra jar.
He had a jar at home that contained the Qing Fang.
If not for the fear of exposing his identity, he would have bought the Qing Fang.
However, it was said that the Qing Fang was only eaten by Zhuangzi villagers. In addition, he would give Her Majesty a hundred jars.
If he said that he knew about the Qing Fang … …
"It's getting late. Can I have lunch in Zhuangzi at noon?"
Zhang Shuo wanted to eat the Qing Fang. The small jar at home only cost twenty carvings.
He heard from Yao Chong that he could eat as much as he wanted during lunch.
"Brother Yi, it seems that he knows something about Zhuangzi. Let him eat."
Li Chengqi spoke up for him. The Prime Minister came once, but he couldn't even eat a meal. How pitiful.
"Of course." Li Yi agreed.
However, he looked at the sky. Why was it getting late? There were still two hours before noon.
Li Yi looked at Zhang Hong and then at the four coachmen who were staring at the stinky tofu. He threw some more and said, "Try all of them."
The four coachmen looked at Zhang Shuo.
"Let's eat." Zhang Shuo said.
When the stinky tofu was fried, a group of children came over with things in their hands.
One of the five or six-year-old girls came to the side and raised the things in her hands. She asked, "Dongzhu, do you eat fried dough twists?"
"No. Xu 'er, you eat. Remember not to run or jump when you eat. You were very good just now."
Li Yi smiled and praised the children.
The children were happy and took the fried dough twists to other places.
Zhang Shuo looked and asked doubtfully, "It's still early before noon. What are we eating?"
Li Yi looked at him. That's not what you said just now.
You said 'it's getting late', making people feel that it's evening.
