After seeing his waist token, the official media's attitude immediately took a 180-degree turn. He spoke politely and respectfully, and the wrinkles at the corner of his eyes could even blossom.
Li Yi finally understood why the scholars in ancient times had sharpened their brains to drill into the officialdom. Realizing their life ambitions and serving the country were all said for others to hear. Of course, there was no lack of people who were really loyal to the emperor and loved their country, but most of them only cared about the limitless glory and the power in their hands after becoming an official. After all, even a small County Lieutenant of the eighth rank could not be underestimated in a district or a county.
No wonder so many people flocked to the imperial examinations every year. If they were lucky and could get an official position, they could bring honor to their ancestors and reach the pinnacle of life.
If it wasn't for the fact that he had lived two lives and was used to being lazy, not wanting to be restrained by the rules and regulations of the officialdom, and not having much pursuit for these things, he might not be able to resist the temptation of being called "County Lieutenant" by so many people for a long time.
After the official media finished asking what he needed to ask, he immediately took his leave. He was afraid that everything would be settled by the next morning.
Before she came, Xiao Huan had already prepared the charcoal stove. After such a long delay, the stove fire had long been extinguished, so she hurriedly went to light the fire.
As usual, the mutton was cut by Liu Ruyi. The knife in her hand danced up and down at an extremely fast speed. Li Yi could not see her movements clearly, but the mutton she cut was as thin as a cicada's wing. The knife skills were exquisite, which made him extremely envious.
After washing the vegetables with Liu Ruyi outside, the stove fire was also blazing. They first put some in the pot, and the whole family waited patiently around the stove.
Li Yi would teach Xiao Huan a new dish every few days, most of the time, Liu Ruyi would also follow along and learn, now was not like a few months ago, every meal was porridge and white flour, even on normal days, the meals were exceptionally sumptuous, but to say the most popular was still the hotpot.
Whether it was the ancients or the modern people, this thing had a mysterious charm, especially in the cold season, it was even more comfortable to eat. After a few days, when it was snowing and freezing outside, the whole family would gather around the stove to eat hot pot. That was the true enjoyment.
Old Fang became addicted to it after freeloading for a meal. He made a mandarin duck pot from a blacksmith in the prefectural city, took it home, and poured all the meat, vegetables, seasonings, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and so on into it. Halfway through, Zhu Zi couldn't help but vomit after taking the first bite.
"Little brat, how long has it been, and your mouth has become so picky?"
Fang frowned and kicked the brat's butt. He picked up the chopsticks and scooped a mouthful of bloody mutton from the pot, chewed it a few times, and vomited it without swallowing it.
Later, he realized that there might be some tricks in this thing that he hadn't figured out, and he couldn't bring himself to do it, so he sent his wife to ask Xiao Huan. Before he left, he brought back some of Li Yi's homemade hotpot base. Since then, Fang's internal heat hadn't gotten better, and he always had the smell of mutton on him. Every day, he followed Li Yi back and forth between the prefectural city and the stockade village, and Li Yi usually kept a sufficient distance from him.
Today, when they were eating hot pot, Liu Ruyi didn't fight with him, which was rare. Li Yi thought that she had finally listened to the etiquette of hotpot that he had painstakingly taught her, and he was very pleased.
In the days when he first came to this world, the biggest problem he faced was how to fill his stomach.
It wasn't enough to fill his stomach, and he also needed to solve the problem of feeding his family.
At that time, what Li Yi hoped for was just to eat a few more grains of rice in the porridge he ate every day, and to have more oil and vegetables in his plain noodles, and he would be satisfied.
When he first came to this world, he had an inexplicable repulsion and fear towards this world. He wanted to live a comfortable life without starving, and it wasn't in vain that God had given him a second chance in life.
Although there was a small problem with the initial setting, such as the location and the era, and the poor family situation, fortunately, the gender didn't change. These days, although there were many twists and turns, everything was still smooth.
Later, the problem of feeding his family was solved, and he had to solve more people's problems. Fang, as well as those who didn't mistreat Liu Sister Ruyi all these years, had bigger and bigger businesses, and got to know more and more people, including little princes, princesses, and even the emperor …
Inexplicably, he climbed to the position of County Lieutenant, and countless people had to salute him respectfully and call him "County Lieutenant".
This was too different from Li Yi's original ideal. It should be known that he just wanted to make some money to live in retirement here …
However, ideals would change with time. If he stayed in Willow Leaf Village like this for the rest of his life, he would probably die of boredom soon.
Even if he wanted to live in retirement, he had to change a place. After a period of time, when he had enough money, he would buy a house in the prefectural city and bring Ruyi and the others there. It was not only troublesome but also tiring to run back and forth between the prefectural city and the village every day.
After dinner, there was still a long time before it got dark. Li Yi walked around the yard for a while to digest the food, and he thought about how he should be lazy tomorrow. He sat in the county government office and drank tea all day, and he went to the latrine a lot. He was so bored that he was going to be moldy.
A graceful figure walked past him, bringing with it a faint fragrance.
Without looking up, Li Yi knew that it should be Liu Ruyi who had just taken a bath after dinner. It was her favorite perfume.
"Follow me."
Miss.Liu said lightly and walked out of the door.
Seeing that she went to the newly built stable to get the horse, Li Yi was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately showed a trace of joy on his face.
Was she finally going to teach him how to ride a horse?
Li Yi had been thinking about this for a long time. In just a moment, he came to himself and hurriedly chased after her.
In this life, including his previous life, he had only ridden a horse twice.
No, it should not be said to be riding.
The first time was when Fang grabbed him to lie on the horse, and he fainted because of the bumpy ride. The second time was when he was still pressed on the horse by him, and it was still bumpy all the way. After getting off the horse, he held the willow tree by the moat and vomited for a long time …
At that time, he secretly swore in his heart that he must learn how to ride a horse if he had a chance in the future. Although he might not be able to ride a horse in fine clothes and travel to the ends of the world with a sword, at least he would not be embarrassed when he encountered such a thing in the future.
The horse that Li Xuan gave him was indeed a good horse. It had a wide forehead, big and bright eyes, bright and full of expression, big and straight hooves, and no messy hair on its body. Li Yi had seen in a book about horses that a horse that looked like this could be regarded as a hero among horses.
Of course, the most intuitive way to distinguish it was that after Liu Ruyi commandeered the horse, she did not intend to return it to him.
After passing through the stockade village and walking for a while, he could see a flat grassland. When Li Yi walked over, Miss.Liu was waiting for him there with the horse.
