"Li Family Zhuangzi is buying a large amount of worn-out leather clothes, boots, hats, silk clothes, satin clothes and other clothes at a high price."
When Song Jing and Bi Goo arrived at the Ba River Bridge together, they saw a signboard and then Song Jing read it aloud.
"Sure enough, something happened. Let's go and see the pandas first." Bi Goo prepared to make himself happy first.
He was afraid that when he saw Li Yi later, he wouldn't be able to bear some kind of shock and would collapse. If that happened, he would have to trouble Li Yi to save him.
The weather was hot and the pandas didn't want to move. Zhuangzi gave them a big shade outside the shed.
If the pandas didn't want to stay in the 'house', they would go to the shed to rest. There was a man-made canal flowing under the shed.
The key point was below the ground of the shed. It was empty and had stone slabs. Below the stone slabs was a tunnel.
Ice was placed in the tunnel and the surrounding area was cool.
The pandas didn't look skinny anymore. Each of them was chubby and round after eating.
They sat there holding the bamboo and chewing slowly, looking bored. Occasionally, they would tilt their heads and look at the surrounding people who were watching them.
"It's cool here. How much ice does it use to raise pandas?" Bi Goo felt the temperature drop and it wasn't so stuffy anymore.
"Everyone is really happy to see the pandas. How can this thing …"
Song Jing couldn't describe it for a moment. Whether it was adults or children, the silly appearance of the pandas always made people want to laugh.
Pandas looked different from other animals. They looked like bears, but bears weren't as interesting as them.
"Li Yi is losing money to make everyone happy." Song Jing praised Li Yi.
"Do you want to buy a panda pillow?"
As soon as Song Jing finished speaking, a man with many panda pillows walked over and asked.
"How much is it?" Bi Goo saw those fluffy pandas and felt he could buy one.
"100 RMB for the small one, 200 RMB for the medium one and 500 RMB for the big one. Pandas can drive away evil spirits. Keep them by your side and give yourself and your family a sense of safety."
The man took down three panda pillows of different sizes and said sincerely.
"No, I don't have money." Bi Goo shook his head. He didn't know how this thing could be worth 100, 200, or 500 RMB.
The other party smiled and moved on to the next person.
Song Jing looked around and found that many people had bought panda pillows.
Especially when a man and a woman came together and bought some couple's pillows.
They say that pandas are black and white, which means that they miss each other both day and night.
"It's getting dark. Let's go. We'll stay in the Zhang Family's village today and eat the food from the Li Family Zhuangzi's canteen." Someone called out to his family.
"I take back what I just said." Song Jing admitted his mistake.
"Let's go eat, too." Bi Goo looked at Song Jing's appearance, and his mood became even better.
After walking around, they entered the Li Family Zhuangzi. The Genban found a place to eat by themselves.
The two of them saw the villager pushing a flatbed cart to deliver the old clothes he had purchased from outside to the workshop.
"Don't tell me he made panda pillows out of rags and old leather coats?"
Song Jing recalled the appearance of the panda pillow and asked with uncertainty.
Bi Goo shook his head: "No, look at the weight of the pillow. It's very light, and it's not made of leather."
"Old Song, Old Bi, we'll have boiled fish in hot chili oil tonight. Other than the chili shells, the Zhuangzi has saved some. Everything is boiled in hot chili oil tonight."
Li Yi received the villager's report that the two Ministers had arrived, so he came to welcome them.
"It can't be too spicy." Bi Goo was afraid. He knew that the Zhuangzi had planted a lot of chili peppers, and they were very spicy. They were called small chili peppers.
"It's not very spicy, just slightly spicy." Li Yi looked at him with a 'you have to believe me' expression.
The three of them entered a single room, and the palace maids and eunuchs helped to put a pot in place. They divided into two groups and ate first.
As they ate, they took deep breaths. It was so spicy that they were sweating profusely.
"No manners." Song Jing was more serious. He looked at the palace maids and eunuchs and said.
The four eunuchs lowered their heads and continued eating. The four palace maids stuck out their tongues at him.
Song Jing: "… …"
Forget it, I won't lower myself to their level.
When he took a bite, Song Jing began to take deep breaths. Slightly spicy?
"Eat, it's not a problem even if it's spicy." Bi Goo admitted defeat. He took a bite of the fish and chewed carefully, "How is the spiciness different?"
"There are too many Sichuan peppers. It's a type of pepper. Old Song, don't eat chili peppers. The fish is fine. It's slightly spicy! "Li Yi emphasized.
He was right. When he went to Sichuan to eat authentic boiled fish, it was only slightly spicy.
"Xiao Yi, the Zhuangzi at the bridgehead collects old clothes to make panda pillows?" Bi Goo asked on behalf of Song Jing.
"No, the panda pillows are stuffed with panda hats, gloves, and scarves.
When the weather gets cold, you can open the belly of the panda pillow and take it out to wear. The other stuffing is a pouch with vanilla. "
Li Yi waved his hand and introduced the materials and stuffing of the pillow.
"If that's the case, 100 coins, 200 coins, and 500 coins are not expensive."
Bi Goo thought that there were still things that could be used in the pillow and felt that it was worth enough.
Song Jing nodded and realized that he did not know Li Yi well enough. He smiled and asked, "Are the things collected to make paper?"
"It's better to collect the materials to make paper. There's no need to collect old goods. They're expensive." Li Yi still waved his hand.
Before the two of them could ask again, he took the initiative to speak.
"Refurbish the leather boots and clothes. The leather clothes are better. Wash them clean, color them, and make them waterproof. Make them with the other clothes.
Make the other clothes to dry. The leather boots are still leather boots after refurbishing. Clean the insides and change the soles.
Change the leather clothes into leather gloves and hats. Make the boots, gloves, and hats into camouflage colors as much as possible.
When the winter is cold, the soldiers can wear the camouflage when they fight against Tubo. The soldiers now need to prepare some things for themselves. "
Li Yi gave the answer. Refurbish the old goods and send them to the frontline.
The soldiers of Zhe Chong had to bring their own rations. At the same time, they had to prepare their own swords and bows.
They had to go to the storehouse to collect their armor and crossbows. Some people did not have hats, gloves, or boots. Some of the cavalry did not even have boots.
Now that the lives of the people in the capital were better, they did not want the old goods anymore. Zhuangzi collected them.
Song Jing and Bi Goo stared at Li Yi.
"Eat, can you be full just by looking at me?" Li Yi picked up a piece of fish.
Bi Goo raised his wine cup, "Xiao Yi, let me toast you."
"We didn't have to do this before. Isn't it just providing some things for the soldiers? I have money, but the soldiers have no money. They still have to fight for their lives. It's no big deal to give them some old things. "
As Li Yi spoke, he raised his wine cup and gestured to the others. Then, he raised his head and downed the wine.
He put down the wine cup and said to Song Jing, "Old Song, you don't have to raise it. Eat quickly. This fish has no bones. Don't be afraid of being pricked. It's easy to prick it. I'll take a pair of tweezers and get it out for you."
Song Jing still raised his wine cup and drank. He finally understood why the Emperor did not allow anyone to speak ill of Li Yi.
On such a hot day, people were thinking about how to earn money, support their families, and where to go to play.
Li Yi was worried about what the soldiers at the border would wear in winter. Of course, he would not take money for the refurbished and modified clothes.
When the officials saw that the people in the capital were living well, they thought of a prosperous era.
Li Yi took the opportunity to buy cheap things. His demand was high.
The soldiers at the border wore leather boots, hats, and gloves. It was warm in winter. This way, they could reduce non-combat casualties and use their skills in battle.
"Xiao Yi, if you don't like someone, you can impeach him. I'll help you." Song Jing put down his wine cup.
