After lunch, Li Chengqi refused to leave and stayed with Li Yi.

Li Yi asked someone to set up a big pot and start cooking the chicken.

Li Chengqi looked at it and suddenly asked: "Brother Yi, what is boiling in the pot is medicine."

"Shh!" Li Yi put his index finger in front of his mouth.

Then he whispered: "Some medicines are used as seasonings, such as star anise and fennel."

Li Chengqi suddenly understood and nodded: "I understand, the secret recipe? Is your soy sauce beef added with medicine?"

"Exactly, I ordered people to prepare medicine according to several prescriptions. After buying the medicine, sort out the medicine that cannot be used for cooking and put it aside, and use the medicine that can be used for cooking."

Li Yi explained the origin of the medicine and grabbed a bunch of prescription medicines.

"Gao, then the drug store won't know how you use the ingredients." Li Chengqi understood what was true and what was false.

"Brother, do you want a recipe?" Li Yi asked, looking at the spices he didn't throw in.

"I want to make something good." Li Chengqi waved his hand, indicating that he was not interested in Fang Zi.

He thought clearly, asked Yi Di to cook it, and then was responsible for eating it himself.

And if you have to keep the prescription secret, why bother?

At this time, fifty chickens were put into the large pot, and Li Yi did not leave any raw chickens.

For more than an hour, the aroma of chicken spread.

Li Yi asked someone to fish out the chicken and hang it to dry.

Let it dry for a while, drain off the water, and boil the big pot again to dry it.

Place the chicken on the grate, brush the chicken with sesame oil, and place it on the grate.

Throw the caramel to the bottom of the pot, cover the pot, and steam with smoke.

There are several ways to make sugar, which are all listed in Qi Min Yao Shu.

Li Chengqi didn't know this, and it was impossible for him to memorize the important skills of Qi Min.

But Li Yibei, he needs to know what is and what is not in this era.

After about five or six minutes, take the pot down, lift the lid, and take out the chicken.

The chickens were all red, as if they had been smeared with soy sauce, and they looked appetizing.

Smell it again, the slightly bitter taste of sugar smoke is like coffee and tea, addictive.

"Brother Yi, this...is smoked chicken?" Li Chengqi swallowed, as if he had discovered a new world.

Can you still do this with chicken? Put some sugar in the pot, let it smoke and then smoke it. It tastes so fragrant?

"How come other people can't think of it?" Li Chengqi said dullly.

Li Yi: "Because others are reluctant to throw sugar into the pot like this."

It's getting late now, and the children are lining up after school.

Just as they passed by Li Yi, seventeen children stood up and saluted Li Yi: "Hello, brother proprietor."

"Okay, okay, just in time, come here and give you a chicken. Share it and eat it. Don't grab it."

As he spoke, Li Yi hugged a smoked chicken regardless of how hot it was. Then he clenched his fist and banged the smoked chicken several times until the whole chicken came loose.

The twelve boys stepped aside and five female dolls were revealed.

A female doll stepped forward, tore off a chicken leg and a chicken wing, and ran away with the other four.

The boy rushed forward, you tear off a piece, I grab a piece, stuff it into your mouth, and laugh and play.

Li Chengqi's eyes suddenly blurred as he watched. The boys fought over each other but refused to grab the chunks of meat. No one touched the chicken legs.

"Brother, actually the chicken skin of smoked chicken is the most delicious." Li Yi said to Li Chengqi with a smile as he watched his children eating chicken.

"They are friendly to each other." Li Chengqi sighed.

Li Yi shrugged: "Who knows, maybe when they grow up, these same people will kill each other for a chicken."

As he said that, he went to see other smoked chickens.

Li Chengqi was stunned and speechless for a long time.

Before dinner, Li Chengqi left, taking thirty smoked chickens with him.

Li Yi sent seven smoked chickens, one for each of the six students, and wine to the forty-two students.

The chicken here weighs seven or eight pounds, which is enough for the students to eat.

When Li Chengqi returned, he quickly sent the smoked chicken to his brothers and his father.

The chicken wrapped in oil paper is still warm. When you tear off the oil paper, the aroma will come out.

Li Longji, Queen Wang, and Gao Lishi ate the last.

They had to wait for others to taste the poison before they could eat it. Everyone who tasted the poison was very happy.

This chicken is delicious. Do you want to eat a few more bites?

Gao Lishi coughed, and the taster sat next to him and waited.

Half an hour later, I had a reaction. I was even hungrier and wanted to eat again.

Then it was Li Longji and Queen Wang's turn to eat.

"Tomorrow you take a hundred chickens, bring back fifty, and watch them being cooked with your own eyes." The chicken Li Longji ate was completely cold.

He was very unhappy and gave orders to Gao Lishi.

Gao Lishi watched it being cooked, so naturally he could eat it directly after taking it back.

Fortunately, smoked chicken tastes good even when it's cold, especially the chicken skin.

Early the next morning, Gao Lishi ran away.

Li Chengqi hurriedly found Li Longji.

"Third brother, Brother Yi taught me something yesterday. It's called a curved shaft plow. The craftsmen rushed to make it. I'm trying to plow it today. It takes twice as much effort as two oxen lifting a bar."

Li Chengqi reported the situation and the Quyuan plow was used. It was so useful that everyone agreed.

After Li Longji held the court meeting, he took Yao Chong to see it with him.

When they arrived at the place, they saw an ox pulling a plow, and a man behind him holding the plow, moving forward in the field.

When we reach the end of the field and turn a corner, the oxen will turn and the plow will turn, which is so fast.

Yao Chong ran over and followed him to watch.

When they reached the end of the field again, Yao Chong said to Li Longji: "Your Majesty, you should ask Sinong Temple to promote it to the world. This thing is a magical tool for farming."

Li Longji's fists clenched, equally excited.

Good thing, two oxen can pull two plows in the future.

The key is that the person holding the plow does not have to stop the oxen and lift the plow to adjust.

This new plow rarely gets stuck when plowing, unlike the original plow that always got stuck and couldn't move forward.

Promotion must be promoted, and it must be promoted now. Even if it is too late for plowing in a distant place, there is still time to make plows and wait for the next plowing.

Sinong Temple made the drawings as quickly as possible and sent people to go to the 22 counties in the capital to promote it.

So when Li Yi saw Gao Lishi who had brought a hundred chickens, the system gave a prompt to add three thousand hours.

Li Yi was confused, who gave it? Three thousand, you can buy more chili noodles.

"Dr. Li, someone offered smoked chicken yesterday. Your Majesty was delighted. Today I will send you a hundred chickens and take back fifty."

Gao Lishi still looks gentle.

Li Yi quickly arranged for someone to handle it.

Kill eighty of them and keep the other twenty in the chicken coop.

After the chickens were cooked and smoked, Li Yi didn't keep any of them and gave them all to Gao Lishi.

The extra thirty belong to the filial piety Gao Lishi.

According to historical records, Gao Lishi accepted gifts blatantly.

Gao Lishi seemed very satisfied, patted Li Yi on the shoulder and led the team away.

At noon, Li Yi took everyone to dinner, and another group of people came.

When everyone came out to see, some of the people who came were missing an arm, some were blind, and some were lame.

Another group of people did not stand with these people. They carried boxes on their backs and also took care of their families.

"Brother Yi, Brother Yi, I have found the veterans and craftsmen you want for you."

"Because these people in Zhechong Mansion are unable to fight, the imperial court does not give them many things."

"Later, the Zhechong Prefecture was abolished and merged, and they left the fields to cultivate. Last winter, a snowstorm destroyed the houses and caused many casualties. This spring, the snow melted and turned into rivers, destroying the land."
