When it was time for dinner, perhaps due to his biological clock, Song Jing coughed a few more times, woke up, and spat out a mouthful of phlegm.
He felt like he had been reborn and did not look uncomfortable at all.
"Old Song, you're awake? Wash your face and don't need to drink water to adjust. Tonight's dinner is beef stewed radish with an alcohol stove.
Since you're looking for me, I have to help everyone adjust their bodies. First, drink the stewed ginseng, deer antler, and wolfberry wine.
Then, we'll eat rice, which happened to be soaked. We won't add coriander or ginger slices. It's not good to eat those for dinner. "
Li Yi greeted Song Jing when he saw that he had woken up.
The main dish was beef stewed radish with two cows raised in Mount Li. They were specially raised to eat meat.
The others drank beef soup and ate the cow's meat.
The other side dishes were stewed eggplant, yam, cabbage, braised pork, cowpeas, herring mushrooms, vermicelli, and carrots.
There were steamed buns and deep-fried pancakes as the main dishes, along with pickled vegetables.
As Li Yi and the others drank, the side dishes were pickled cucumber strips with vinegar, steamed eggplant with cooked sauce, celery stir-fried shredded pork, and shredded tofu with dried scallion oil.
Li Yi adjusted the menu. He could not let anything go wrong with the four high-ranking officials who were being served by him.
Other than the slightly pungent smell of the scallion oil in the shredded tofu, there was nothing else.
There were two types of scallion oil. One was chili oil poured over the shredded scallion.
The other was after boiling it and when the heat was low, it was poured in to stir-fry.
The taste of scallion oil was like raw flour, but it was not.
It could suppress the smell of the bean. It was amazing.
When Bi Goo and the other three saw the dishes, they knew that they were being taken care of again.
Although they were in high positions and busy with state affairs, they valued food very much. They wanted to live a few more years and eat without falling sick.
Since Li Yi appeared, there were many changes in the menu.
There were many medical books. Li Yi even 'wrote' a medical book on food therapy.
Everyone was more particular about their meals. It was different from before.
Now that they saw it, they knew that it was different from others. It meant that Li Yi had deliberately arranged it.
It was no wonder that a few people from the Shangshi Department were beaten up. Li Jianyao did not like the food made by the Shangshi's Imperial Cuisine.
If it was a restaurant, if a customer said that the food was not good, it could be explained away as a difference in taste.
The little fellow said that the food was not tasty. Explain to the little fellow?
"I'll get a fruit platter for everyone. After dinner, we must eat some fruit." Li Yi got up to deal with the fruit platter.
"Smelling the aroma, I want to eat all of them." Su Yi sniffed and told the truth.
"Li Yi is an erudite celestial!" Wei Zhigu had always been on Li Yi's side. Even if the Ministry of Works was in trouble, he didn't want to face Li Yi directly.
He is different from Bi Goo. Bi Goo is my Minister of Revenue position. I guarantee that I will fight for this position.
Wei Zhigu had suffered a loss before. When he was the Henan Magistrate, Yao Chong's son had come over to plead for leniency.
If he agreed, he would be letting down His Majesty's trust and the people.
If he didn't agree, he was indebted to Yao Chong. How could Yao Chong not know that his son had come over?
He was forced into a corner and went back to tell His Majesty because he didn't agree to Yao Chong's son's request.
In the end?
In the end, because Li Yi restrained Yao Chong, he still had a position. Then Li Yi continuously helped him and treated him right after he fell ill.
Moreover, Li Yi didn't want anything. He didn't ask for anything in return. He didn't care about helping you once.
The key point was that Li Yi's morals were impeccable. He wasn't greedy and didn't plead for corrupt people.
Everyone knew that Li Yi didn't bribe just one person. He bribed all the officials in the capital.
Other people bribed to open the door for themselves. Li Yi's bribe was to not cause trouble when he was doing things for the country and the people.
Therefore, Wei Zhigu didn't trust anyone but Li Yi.
As long as Li Yi mentioned something that involved the Ministry of Works, he would do it.
He didn't go against his heart when he worked for Li Yi, but he was wronged when he worked for the imperial court.
Song Jing drank two mouthfuls of soup. After the soup warmed his stomach, he became energetic. "Everyone, do you think that worm is delicious?"
He suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do with anything else. The worm he was talking about was naturally the bean worm.
"It's okay if it's fried." Bi Goo had eaten it before and liked it quite a bit.
"At home, I ate it with stuffing. At first, I felt disgusted. Later, I heard that the Li Family Zhuangzi also ate it with stuffing. After frying it, it can be eaten."
Su Yi explained his family's situation. He couldn't eat buns or dumplings.
If he switched to frying it, the bean worm could be eaten when it was placed with other vegetables.
Because the bean worm made with other methods had a lot of water, the outside of the frying was hard and there was little water, so the oil seeped in.
"He eats two dry fried bean worms every day." Wei Zhigu also provided a data.
He ate it. When Li Yi said that it could be eaten and was good for the body, he believed it. When he ate dry fried bean worms, he couldn't eat anything else.
"Actually, roasting it is also fine, or baking it with salt in a pot." Li Yi returned with a plate of sliced watermelon and cantaloupe.
Other people's greenhouses were torn down, but the Li Family Zhuangzi had a four-season greenhouse. It was always out of season, and it was a glass greenhouse.
Other than using it for vegetables out of season, it was also used for breeding.
Some seeds didn't need to be grown in hot weather, but required a constant temperature. This way, the yield of seeds would be higher.
Now that there were no results from hybridization, they could only look for breakthroughs in the seeds themselves.
For example, cowpeas. Some cowpeas grew well, and their fruits were plump and long, while others were short.
Then, they would choose the longer cowpeas and plant them. When the seeds matured, they would immediately plant another batch and choose again.
This was something that had been done by various dynasties and generations. It had never stopped.
If one had to say when it stopped, it would be during the chaos of war. If there was no war, it would only stop for a period of ten years.
That ten years … …
Li Yi used the greenhouses to shorten the time. Generation after generation, if there were no hybridization, they would use the greenhouses.
Now, it was the same for the watermelons and cantaloupes. Different fertilizers and soil were used in the greenhouses to grow and differentiate.
"Xiao Yi, there are no more watermelons and cantaloupes in the royal greenhouses." Bi Goo saw the fruit plate and reminded Li Yi.
"There will be more next year. The glass is about to be mass-produced. Thanks to Jiang Hui, I will buy a large amount of tin from them.
Now, I have collected enough tin for the float glass. After I settle some things, I will take some time to bring out the technology of pulling glass.
The glass windows on your Prime Minister's carriage are blown glass. In the future, it will not be. "
Li Yi expressed his gratitude to Jiang Hui's family. They had gotten a lot of dirty money.
Li Yi followed the clues and found the place where there was a lot of tin.
He didn't need to consider the mercury float method. Tin was enough.
Float method was the method of floating. The glass would be heated into a liquid state, and the liquid would be poured into a liquid metal solution.
The two would not mix. It was like oil and water. The oil would float on top.
The glass solution would also float on top of the metal solution. The glass solution itself would spread out and become a flat surface.
If some metal pliers were added to pull the glass solution, the glass solution would become thinner and bigger as it was stretched.
It was many times faster than blowing glass. Glass was so cheap. Of course, that was referring to other people.
