Li Yi's car continued to move forward slowly, leaving behind the teenagers to discuss the method of roasted chestnuts.
They will go to Drunken Immortal Residence to get the big pot, spatula, and chestnut cutting knife.
Then, they will find suitable small stones and keep trying.
They will need to cook at least 10 pots to get an approximate time. In the future, they will cook according to that time.
As for the sugar, they will not use much. They will just pour sugar water into the pot.
"Lantian County is not the only county that produces chestnuts in the capital. If they sell well, others will learn from them."
Guo Ziyi felt helpless. He felt that Li Yi should buy a large amount of chestnuts.
They will return to Zhuangzi to cook in secret and sell the chestnuts after they are done.
Now that they have this method, they can cook in any city in Chang 'an and others will learn from them.
"Then my men in Zhuangzi will not need to do anything else. They will only be selling roasted chestnuts. No matter how many chestnuts there are, there will only be one season in a year.
Even if all 20 counties produce chestnuts, how many people will there be left in the capital?
This method will be spread to all parts of the country. Unfortunately, Hebei Province is occupied by Khitans.
There are a few counties that produce good chestnuts. They will open after they are cooked.
It is a pity that a large area in the Northeast is used by Khitans and some Turks. "
When Li Yi talked about chestnuts, he remembered the counties in Hebei.
There are also a large number of pine mushrooms in the Northeast and the fish in the Cold Water Lake.
"Li Dongzhu, when we return, you can cook in Zhuangzi too. Let the brothers have a taste. They do not have much money and have given it to their families."
Guo Ziyi was worried that there would be too many people and too few chestnuts. If they do not hurry, they will run out of chestnuts.
"Cook and eat walnuts too. A child can eat two a day. Eating too much is not good for the body, even if it is made into preserved fruits."
As Li Yi talked about walnuts, he remembered that it is time to cook hazelnuts and pine nuts.
This year, he must prepare more. Last year's supply will run out. He can only go to the city to buy more. Why is it so expensive?
"Stop the car, neigh ~ ~ ~" Li Yi suddenly shouted when he was thinking.
The horse was indeed obedient. When it heard the whinny, it slowed down and stopped.
Another horse turned its head and looked at Li Yi with its big eyes, as if asking, "What are you doing?" Is something the matter?
"This house is not going to last any longer. The county needs to fix it. Why didn't you report it?" Li Yi jumped out of the car and came to a courtyard.
Houses made of mud and grass are not only cracked but also tilted.
There were no vegetables in the yard, only two chickens scratching and looking for something to eat.
When Li Yi said that the county should be in charge of normal government affairs, the county had to help if there were poor families.
Or the officials in the county could find other wealthy families of the same clan to help, especially when there was no one to take care of an old man.
The system was good, including the Grief Tianfang in Chang 'an.
The ancient people were not stupid. They knew how to deal with all kinds of things.
However, the imperial court did not have any money. They still had to fight wars and pay their officials.
"Is there anyone at home? I'm the owner of the Drunken Immortal Tavern. Anyone in? "Li Yi shouted from outside the courtyard.
After shouting a few times, the door opened and an old woman walked out shakily.
"Auntie, I'm the owner of the Drunken Immortal Tavern. My name is Li Yi." Li Yi shouted again.
"I know, I know. Li Dongzhu, come in. It's not locked." The old woman continued to walk. There was a wooden door in the fence, but it was not locked.
There was not even a wooden pin. It was just lying there crookedly.
After getting permission, Li Yi pushed open the gate and went in.
He naturally took the old woman's arm. "Auntie, is there anyone else at home?"
"No, it's just me. My youngest son left five years ago, saying that he went to learn martial arts with someone. I don't know where he went. He never came back.
My eldest son helped to transport food for the army two years ago. He was hit by a falling rock on the road. My eldest daughter-in-law remarried.
She wanted to take me with her, but she also has parents. It's not a big deal for me to go.
If it weren't for my blurred vision before the beginning of spring, I would be able to tidy up the house. The imperial physician came over and prescribed some medicine. I'll be fine after drinking a few doses. "
The old woman smiled in Li Yi's direction.
Li Yi waved his hand in front of the old woman's eyes. There was a slight reaction in her eyes. She was not blind.
"Auntie, you can't live in this house anymore. If you continue to live here, suddenly …"
"Ka ka ka, cha, boom ~ ~ ~" Before Li Yi could finish his sentence, there was a sound from the house. Then, it collapsed.
Li Yi hugged the old woman and lay down. At the same time, a few figures broke through the fence and came to the two of them. They carried them out.
Li Yi turned back to look. He stood up and patted the dust off his clothes. He laughed. "Hahaha, look, Auntie. The house is gone. Follow me back to Zhuangzi."
"A benefactor, a benefactor. You are indeed a deity. They were right. If you hadn't come today, I would have been crushed to death in the house."
The old woman trembled even more. Although her eyesight was not good, she still knew that the house had collapsed.
However, she turned her head and refused. "I'm not going. I want to wait for my youngest son to come back. I feel that you are a burden and can't do anything. "
"Auntie, look. Your house has collapsed, but the land is still there. You can rent the land to me and I will use it to earn money.
After that, you can take the rent to Zhuangzi. I will rent a house for you. Your land is big, and my house is small.
The extra money will be for your daily meals and to hire someone to take care of you.
The remaining money will be used to find out where your youngest son is. When you find him and he comes back, you can live with him.
I will not rent your land, and you will not rent my house. No one will lose out, okay?
That's settled. Get in the car. I will continue to look around. I can earn quite a lot of money from your land. "
Li Yi thought of a good idea. They could both rent the land. He helped the old woman into the car.
The old woman's tears flowed down her cheeks. She did not refuse anymore.
She knew that if she did not agree, she would not be able to live. She still had to wait for her youngest son.
"Auntie, what is there in the house that you are not afraid of losing? I will get someone to clean it up and bring it over. You can choose what you want to keep."
Li Yi arranged for the old woman to get into the car. He reassured her that some of the things were souvenirs.
Turning around, Li Yi shouted, "Which brother can go to the Drunken Immortal Residence and get someone to come here. While you are at it, repair all the houses in the county that do not look good.
I am a rich person. I have money. I do good. But tell Guan Xiaotan to help me ask the county magistrate surnamed Chen what he is doing.
If he is waiting for the business tax to be paid, then there is no need to wait.
We are making a loss this year. I will report how we lost money later.
If we lose money, will they still want to collect taxes from me? Then I will have to talk to them properly. "
"I will go." A Winged Knight outside said. He left with the sound of hooves.
"Li Dongzhu, you are a good person." The old woman listened and gave Li Yi an evaluation.
"I think so too. But good people are always bullied. When I am bullied, I usually endure it." Li Yi flattered himself.
"I have heard that the prime minister is magnanimous and uses virtue to win people over." The old woman continued to praise.
Li Yi: "… …"
He had a different view of these two praises.
"Dongzhu, there is a motorcade in front. They say that they are officials returning to Chang 'an. They have a plate. Brother, go talk to them. They asked us to wait at the side."
Guo Ziyi's voice came.
"Tell them, no matter who they are, to stand against the wall. Otherwise, I will teach them a lesson. What kind of officials dare to take the road with me? They are too used to it. "
Li Yi was looking for equipment in the car. He wanted to see if the old woman's eyes were blurred, cataracts, or other diseases.
When he heard that someone dared to make his car move, he was angry. This is an ambulance.
