"It's cooked, and it's fresher. The most important thing is that it's fast. There's a big pot, and the dumplings can be taken out after cooking for a while."
Li Yi pointed at the place where the dumplings were cooked. There were more than a hundred big pots boiling water.
The Li Family Zhuangzi needed to provide dumplings for more than 30,000 people, so there couldn't be fewer pots.
The Zhang Family Village, the Imperial Plantation, the Li Family Zhuangzi, the inhabited area, the newcomers outside the inhabited area, the captives, the Winged Knights, and the 16 guards.
There was also the market at the bridgehead. There was a family of people doing odd jobs there. They didn't have a home to return to, so they lived in a shed with a stove.
During the New Year, everyone around the Li Family Zhuangzi had to eat New Year's Eve dinner.
They were also watching a performance by the Beiqu girls.
The Beiqu girls didn't have any business during the New Year, so they went to the Li Family Zhuangzi to perform for others.
The main thing was that they could get money, at least 500 yuan a night, and they didn't have to accompany the guests.
"Li Dongzhu, what kind of dumplings are we eating? I love beef and onion dumplings the most. "
Xiao Lan had grabbed a handful of melon seeds and was eating them. When she heard that they were cooking dumplings, she put down the melon seeds.
"There's no beef in the dumplings this year. Two cows died and were made into beef jerky for the children. The rest are meat and brain.
The dumplings outside are filled with pork, cabbage, pork, celery, and chicken with a lot of oil.
Zhuangzi has chives and garlic sprouts, so you can't eat them if you're allergic to them. Most of the dumplings are lamb and pork, which have little oil. "
Li Yi was very familiar with this. He had arranged it.
The dumplings and buns in Zhuangzi usually had little oil, whether it was meat or vegetable oil.
The villagers with too much oil really couldn't eat it. The quality of life had improved, and they usually had meat for every meal. Who still wanted food with too much oil?
The dumplings outside were different. When you took a bite of the dumplings outside, the chopsticks were slightly tighter, and the oil came out first.
The villagers didn't eat the dumplings. Even the people in the village who worked hard didn't eat the fatty meat.
Only the younger children, who couldn't chew on lean meat, would eat big slices of meat, which were fragrant and chewable.
Older people wouldn't eat such fatty things. If one's teeth were not good, they could be inserted. Dongzhu was in charge of this.
In the past, the older ones only had a few teeth left in their mouths. They would cook their food into porridge and then 'drink' it.
In the Li Family Zhuangzi, there were only a few left. Let's see if they could hold up. If they couldn't, we'll replace them all and get a new set of teeth.
The performance on the stage continued. When it was almost midnight, the dumplings were served.
The people on the stage began to sing alone. Their voices were very low and did not have much of a presence. Everyone was eating.
Princess Yongmu took a bite of the dumpling. It was stuffed with three delicacies, and the chives were very tender. It was not like the common chives in Li Yi's time, which were like plastic when she bit hard.
There was also the tomato skin. It was still intact when he ate it, but it was still intact when he did it.
The stomach, small intestine, and large intestine were unable to absorb and decompose it.
The ones from the Tang dynasty were much better. There was no problem eating them.
"Li Lang, what's the life of a married couple like?" Princess Yongmu ate a dumpling and looked at the lively scene around her. She asked about the future.
She liked the feeling now. Everyone was so harmonious and worked hard together.
"That depends on the conditions and pursuits." Li Yi looked at the wine in the small wine cup in front of him and sniffed.
"Is there a difference?" Princess Yongmu thought that a married couple was like her father and Empress Wang.
She also had her mother. Her father had many women. Everyone hoped that her father would spend the night at their place.
"Yes!" Li Yi thought for a while and only replied with one word.
It was too complicated. He couldn't give an accurate definition.
Bang! Whoosh! Whoosh! Boom!
The Imperial City began to set off fireworks, followed closely by the fireworks in the Li Family Zhuangzi.
Li Yi wanted to analyze the marriage, but he was interrupted by the sound. He simply didn't say anything.
As the fireworks bloomed, the performance on the stage temporarily stopped. Everyone looked at the scenery in the sky.
…
Li Longji stood at the top of the Imperial City. He held Empress Wang's hand with one hand and his son who was awakened by the sound with the other.
Around him were the concubines, talents, Jie Yu, and other officials who were qualified to participate.
Zhangsun Xin was there. His rank was high enough. His wife was the sister of the empress. The two of them were lucky enough to participate in the New Year celebration.
His current high status was not because of his wife, nor was it because he was a Patrol Inspector.
It was because he was rich. He did business. The key was that he provided hundreds of people with jobs and paid more.
The money he earned with his own ability was not related to other problems. No one could say anything when he spent it.
In the past, he relied on his status as the brother-in-law of the empress to receive gifts. Now, he knew how to give gifts.
He learned it from Li Yi.
He knew what Li Yi's situation was. With such power, he still gave gifts to the officials. Was his status lowered?
Any official who dared to say that Li Yi gave gifts was lowering their status.
The next day, this official could go to a remote area to play a role. The Tang dynasty needed him.
Zhangsun Xin, who thought that he had been tricked by Li Yi many times, was already disdainful of that Imperial Censor Li Jie.
He had learned to be smart. After thinking carefully, he realized that Li Jie had a powerful force behind him. Even the current prime minister Su Yi was related to him.
If he acted impulsively and did something, he would probably be crippled.
Thank you, Li Yi, Li Dongzhu. You showed me the dangers of the world. Every time I schemed against you, I was sure that I would fall into the trap.
Thinking like this, Zhangsun Xin held his wife's hand tightly.
His wife looked up at him slightly in the dazzling fireworks. Her eyes were bright.
"Li Yi is a good person. I just realized that he didn't want to do anything to me because of your sister."
Zhangsun Xin said and let go of his wife's hand. He raised his arm and hugged his wife's waist.
He, who thought that he had been tricked by Li Yi, had learned to be smart.
Even if he used chili powder to 'poison' him, Li Yi was very gentle to him as long as there were no serious consequences.
Later, he led the people to make more money. Drunken Immortal House even sent technicians to help.
"Xin, I only have eyes for you." Zhangsun Xin's wife leaned her head on his body and said loudly. The fireworks were too loud.
Empress Wang, who was standing in the main position, suddenly turned her head and looked at them. Then she smiled and said in Li Longji's ear: "Uncle finally got it wrong for once."
"Brother Yi didn't want to target someone. Otherwise, he could prove that he was right at any time.
The new year is coming. I don't know what plans brother Yi has. I want to see the people around the capital office and the people of the Tang dynasty live a good life. "
Li Longji didn't think about the topic of who was dead and who wasn't, because Li Yi had already helped him.
When Zhangsun Xin was assigned to Lantian County as a patrol, brother Yi understood the reason.
Otherwise, if he wanted to kill someone, he had countless ways to kill them.
"Good life, people, ah, good." The little guy who was watching the fireworks heard his father and said.
He didn't know the situation, but he repeated the key words.
"You will have a hard life in the future. I will send you to the Li Family Zhuangzi to learn."
Empress Wang kissed her son and rubbed her face against the little guy's face.
She knew that her son must be taught by Li Yi, but how could he learn so much knowledge?
As for the other officials and scholars, they can stand aside. They don't need you to teach them.
Uncle can teach you everything you can. You don't even know what uncle can teach.
