The few old generals were really loyal to their king and patriotism. In less than five minutes, they had already decided on the distribution of the loot … and the distribution of benefits.
"That …" Li Xuan scratched his head and said, "I'll pay 50,000 taels too."
He knew better than all the other old generals that he could earn a lot of money by following Li Yi. There was no reason for him not to participate in such a thing where he could earn money by lying down.
Old General Xue and Old General Ma looked at each other. The former waved his hand at Li Xuan impatiently and said, "Go away …"
They could only get 1,000 taels by pooling together, but Li Xuan offered 50,000 taels the moment he opened his mouth. The more he offered, the more points he would get. When the time came, would the few old men fight for the soup?
Li Yi patted Li Xuan's shoulder with a smile and said, "Don't worry, we're brothers. How could I forget about you?"
Li Xuan was touched. He patted his chest and said, "Tell me, what can I do?"
"Didn't I just say that we're going to make canned food and pack it with aluminum foil? It's not easy to make aluminum foil. Forget it, I'll leave the sealing to you. If the sealing is not good, the rations will spoil easily …"
Li Yi looked at him with a smile and said, "Also, we haven't tested whether instant noodles will work. Other forms of rations are more feasible in theory. Of course, there are still some problems that need to be solved. The Academy of Science specializes in solving such problems. I'll leave these to you too … We're all brothers, don't stand on ceremony!"
"Good, that's great!" Old General Xue immediately patted the table. He was very satisfied with Li Yi's arrangement.
The touched expression on Li Xuan's face froze. He raised his head and took a look at Li Yi. Only then did he realize that Li Yi's smile was sinister and there was a chilly wind blowing from all directions …
In order to teach Li Xuan what retribution was, what it meant to not seek death, what it meant to not seek death, what it meant to be a good person would be rewarded, and that the time had not yet come for retribution, Li Yi had put in a lot of effort.
The old generals were still very interested in the matter of military rations. They then asked Li Yi a few related questions.
Before troops and horses were mobilized, rations and fodder had to be prepared first. Rations were the lowest standard to maintain the combat effectiveness of an army.
Only when they were full would they have the strength to fight, and the concept of military rations in this world was only to fill their stomachs.
However, from the point of view of the future, the requirement to quickly fill one's stomach was a little too low. Not only did the soldiers have to eat their fill, but they also had to eat well. They had to be nutritious, and they even had to eat happily and happily …
These theories were very unfamiliar to the old general.
However, although they had never heard of such a saying before, they felt that what Li Yi said was very reasonable. A simple meal and a delicious meal gave people a different feeling. If the soldiers ate well, their morale would naturally increase. According to him, military rations was also a field of knowledge that required a large group of people to put in a lot of effort to study it.
This task was naturally handed over to the Academy of Science to complete.
Using instant noodles as military rations was also an idea that Li Yi came up with on the spur of the moment. After all, this had never been done in the future. He would let Li Xuan verify the feasibility first. Military rations were not suitable, but naughty children's rations were the most suitable.
"Although the food is good, this name is really too casual." Old General Xue stroked his beard and shook his head. "Instant noodles, convenience … How can you talk about eating with convenience? Isn't it disgusting …"
"Why don't we call it Killing Enemy Noodles!" Old General Xue thought for a while and slapped the table. "Eating it will allow you to fight bravely. How about that?"
"Vulgar, unbearably vulgar!" Whenever Old General Xue suggested something, Old General Ma would always oppose it. He immediately shook his head and said, "In my opinion, why don't we call it Strength Noodles?"
"Strength Noodles is not bad?" Old General Song shook his head and said, "It's better to call it Hibiscus Noodles."
Killing Enemy Noodles, Strength Noodles, Master Ma Noodles, and Master Xue Noodles were all better than this. It would be strange if such a name wasn't bad. Although Hibiscus Noodles could be a little better, Li Yi had already thought of the name and wouldn't allow anyone to change it.
"Little Raccoon."
He looked at the few old generals and said, "Little Raccoon Instant Noodles, it's decided!"
…
Although the old generals were still a little dissatisfied with the name, they couldn't do anything since Li Yi had made up his mind.
After walking out of the Xue Mansion, Li Yi let out a long sigh of relief.
At the same time, he was also extremely glad that he brought the tsundere Lolita along. Otherwise, the two of them would definitely be walking out.
He patted her head and said, "Come, let's go back to eat spicy prawns!"
"Sure, sure!" The tsundere Lolita didn't eat well just now, so she agreed with him.
Although Li Xuan wanted to go with them, he had to face the problem of how to deal with the military rations. Now he had to go back and think about this matter.
At the same time, a strong sense of regret arose in his heart.
At that time, he was really blinded by greed. He should have known that he shouldn't provoke anyone …
…
…
After entering the middle of the first month, the atmosphere of the New Year not only didn't fade, but it became even more intense.
This was because with the approaching of the Lantern Festival, the annual lantern festival in the capital also began. From the 10th, the curfew time was delayed by a whole hour. Once night fell, the entire capital became a sea of joy.
On the 15th, the curfew would be directly lifted for three days. From the officials and nobles to the ordinary people, everyone could enjoy the nightlife of the capital to their heart's content.
"Son-in-law, 'Second Miss' – what's the answer to this riddle?" On the noisy street, people came and went. The little maid stood outside the crowd and looked inside. She suddenly turned her head and asked Li Yi.
Today was the 14th of the first month, only one day left before the most lively lantern festival. At night, the prosperity of the capital had reached its peak in recent days.
"Second Miss …" The crowded street was unusually noisy. Li Yi casually said, "Go and ask Second Miss if she knows."
Xiao Huan really ran to the side and asked. After a while, she ran back, shook her head and said, "Son-in-law, Second Miss doesn't know either."
Li Yi gently knocked on her head and said, "Stupid, this is the 'Zi' in 'posture'."
"Oh!" The little maid responded and squeezed into the crowd. After a while, she came out with a lantern.
Li Yi looked at her and asked, "Don't we have a lot of them at home? Why do you still need to take them?"
Xiao Huan hugged the lantern and said, "This is for Bing Ning. She said she also wants to play on the street at night, but she can't come out because she's in the palace. I'll take one for her next time."
The capital had been quite busy these days. For safety reasons, Yong Ning and the proud Lolita didn't leave the palace. Tonight, they were going to the lantern festival with Ruyi and Xiao Huan. Tomorrow, they would have to go to the Lotus Garden to attend the banquet.
"Eldest Miss and Second Miss are in front. Son-in-law, let's go quickly …"
Xiao Huan hugged the lantern with one hand and grabbed Li Yi's wrist with the other. She squeezed forward …
…
"Miss, Miss, 'An empty courtyard waiting for a child to return'. What is this?" Xiao Cui stood under a row of lanterns and pointed at a lantern she liked.
When she turned around, she found that Miss was looking in a certain direction in the crowd. She waved her hand in front of her eyes and said, "Miss, Miss?"
Ceng Zuimo came back to her senses. When she looked again, the figure she saw was no longer in the crowd. She asked, "What is it?"
"An empty courtyard waiting for a child to return, what is this?" Xiao Cui asked again.
Ceng Zuimo thought about it and said, "It's a 'Li' character."
"Oh." Xiao Cui nodded and memorized the answer. She planned to win that lantern later.
She also liked the design of the lantern next to it and asked again, "Then … if it is destroyed once, it is a careless heart. What is this?"
"If it is destroyed once, it is a careless heart …" Ceng Zuimo thought about it again and said, "This is, this is …"
She suddenly looked at Xiao Cui with a bit of anger and said, "One lantern is enough. Why do you need so many …"
After he finished speaking, he walked forward, leaving the young girl standing in the same place with the lantern in her arms with a baffled expression.
