"It's rare for us to come out, so we can't go back. Let's stay in Zhang Family's village tonight. There's no danger here."
The girl looked around. There were many people pretending to look at the pandas and the stalls selling things here.
"Princess Yongmu …"
"Xiao Lan." The girl pouted.
"Okay, Li Wentian, Miss Li. You've never spent the night outside. Zhang Family Zhuangzi's place is not clean. "Xiao Lan changed the way she addressed her.
"Yes, we're good sisters. Your name is Wang Xiao Lan." The girl called Li Tianyi was satisfied.
"My name is Wang Xiao Lan. Princess, why don't you use your own name?" Xiao Lan pouted.
"Because I want to ask the heavens. The world is so big. How many strange things are there?"
Li Yuanshu said as she turned to look at Zhuangzi.
"Then Sister Li, let's go to Zhang Family's village. Otherwise, there won't be any good places." Xiao Lan looked at the sky and became anxious.
"Skewers! Skewers don't cost money! Li Family Zhuangzi's new land has been reclaimed and cultivated. Let's celebrate."
Just as the two girls were about to leave, a shout came from the left.
Then, a pile of grills was sent over. Unlit kerosene lamps were looking for places to hang.
When the people who saw the pandas heard about Li Family Zhuangzi's situation, they chose to stay. After all, they were all living in Zhang Family's village.
"Sister Wen Tian, let's eat skewers. Everyone says that Li Family Zhuangzi's skewers are delicious."
Xiao Lan, who wanted to go to the village just now, swallowed her saliva.
Princess Yongmu stood there with a faint smile and a hint of expectation on her face.
Not long after, a grill was placed in front of them. When the others were about to help move the tables and stools, a group of people pushed them away and quickly sat down.
The farmers came over with all kinds of skewers. On the other side, the charcoal was burning.
There was also wine and rice wine, but no white wine.
After a while, the charcoal was ready and the farmers began to grill the skewers.
"Dongzhu." "Li Dongzhu." "Dongzhu. Good evening."
Amidst the greetings of many people, Li Yi walked over from that side, surrounded by the Yulin Flying Cavalry.
"Good, good, good. Hello, everyone. Today, I bought a new piece of land. I can finally feel at ease. I want to find someone to share my joy with, so I'll treat everyone to a skewer."
Li Yi cupped his fists and bowed, then explained the situation with a smile.
When he walked to the side of the two women, he was slightly stunned. Then, he smiled and nodded. He looked left and right, pulled a chair, and sat at the same table as the two women.
Li Yi greeted the two of them. "Greetings, young ladies. When this Li saw a beauty, he suddenly couldn't move, so he had to sit down and rest."
Xiao Lan's eyes widened and her mouth pouted. She seemed very surprised. There was such a person?
With a smile in her eyes, Princess Yongmu said softly, "Thank you for your praise, Li Lang. Wen Tian is too polite."
"Which Wen, which Tian?" Li Yi asked.
"Wen as in hearsay, and Tian as in tranquil." Princess Yongmu introduced herself.
"My surname is Li, and my first name is Yi. Yi as in easy." Li Yi introduced himself.
"Everyone knows, but you still have to say it." Xiao Lan said.
"Ha! You are … "Li Yi asked Xiao Lan.
"Xiao Lan, my name is Wang Xiao Lan, and this is my sister Li Yi." Xiao Lan looked at Li Yi carefully.
She found that the Li Yi in front of her was different from her impression of him. Others said that he was polite and gentle.
Why did he look like a lecher?
"Good name. What do you two want to eat? I'll roast it myself. "Li Yi stood up with a smile and rolled up his sleeves.
"Li Lang, you don't have to do this." Princess Yongmu was just like what she meant when she introduced herself to her fake name, tranquil.
Especially her eyes, which were clear and gave people the feeling of a quiet girl in a painting.
"It's my duty to roast skewers for a beauty. Wen Tian, do you eat worms?"
Li Yi asked Princess Yongmu and took a skewer of worms from the side.
The worms were green and about three inches long. There were two of them on each skewer.
"What kind of worms are these? I've seen them before. "Xiao Lan was not afraid. She stood up and went closer to take a look.
"Bean worms. They usually like to live on soybean seedlings. People who plant soybeans hate these worms because they will reduce the yield of soybeans."
Li Yi put three skewers of bean worms on the grill.
He continued to introduce, "Bean worms are best fried. If there's no oil, roast them. Otherwise, the worms will be soft and uncomfortable when you eat them."
Princess Yongmu also stood up and went closer. She looked down at the big green worm and asked softly, "Will people get sick after eating them?"
"You won't get sick if you cook them well. It's dry this year, but there's a lot of well water to water the soybean fields, so there are more bean worms.
Since the bean worms have eaten the seedlings, we'll eat the bean worms.
In August, the new bean worms will grow bigger. Zhuangzi will buy a lot of them. The people who plant soybeans can make up for their losses. "
Li Yi brushed oil on the bean worms and added some salt. This way, the water in the bean worms' bodies would be lost quickly and they would not be roasted.
Xiao Lan took out a few skewers of mutton from the basin next to her. "I think the worms can't eat them. I'll eat meat."
"When the northern part of Hebei Province is managed, we can eat another kind of green worm, tussah silkworm."
Li Yi took two skewers of dry tofu rolls, brushed oil on them, and roasted them slightly. When the scallions and coriander inside were soft, he put them on a tray and handed them to Princess Yongmu.
"Wen Tian, you two eat first. There are shredded sausages inside. Actually, shredded ham is the best, but there's too little ham."
Princess Yongmu took the tray and let Xiao Lan take it. She continued to look at the roasted worms.
"Li Lang, will the collected insects rot after a long time?" She had a strong thirst for knowledge.
"Bury them with sand. At that time, the worms will drill into the soil by themselves and wait for winter. In April or May of the next year, the bean worms in the soil will pupate.
After one or two months, the pupa will break, and the moths will come out and lay eggs. This cycle will repeat. "
Li Yi turned over the mutton skewers that Xiao Lan brought over.
Princess Yongmu stood there and thought for a while. "When the bean worms drill into the soil, will plowing solve the problem?"
"Bean fields will not be plowed at that time. In the Tang dynasty, there are only about 50 kilograms of soybeans per mu.
If we plant them densely, we can now produce more than 7,000 bean worms per mu. With such a large bean worm, we can raise more than 50 kilograms of such a large bean field. "
Li Yi brushed oil on the bean worms again. He was talking about the yield of soybeans and the yield of bean worms.
Princess Yongmu's big eyes were full of curiosity. She blinked and said, "Li Lang wants to use the bean field to raise bean worms? No beans, just eating bean worms?"
"Beans will reduce the yield. If you raise them well, the yield of soybeans will be reduced to about 10%. Use 10 kilograms of beans to exchange for 50 kilograms of worms."
Li Yi brushed sauce on the bean worms again. When the sauce dried, they were ready to eat.
Princess Yongmu bit her lip as she calculated, her beautiful brows furrowed.
When Li Yi put the worms on the table, she finally reacted. "Li Lang, worms are meat. 10 kilograms of worms for 1 kilogram of beans. Eating worms is a good deal."
"Exactly. Try it and see if it's edible. If everyone doesn't like it, no matter how many worms there are, it's useless."
Li Yi picked up a skewer and used chopsticks to remove a worm. He put it into his mouth and took a bite. He nodded.
