Chapter 9: The knowledge of the poor and the lowly shall not be forgotten(1/2)
"Dongzhu Li is also a wonderful person." Gao Lishi looked at Li Yi's movements, smiled and patted Li Yi on the shoulder.
"Tong Miao, General Gao will wait a moment." Li Yi put away the documents and ran back to his house.
When he came back, he had a small jar in his hand, which he handed to Gao Lishi.
He said: "There is not much chili meat sauce left. I will keep half of it at home. I will make it later."
Gao Lishi laughed and took it in his hand, happy.
He had eaten this hot sauce before, but unfortunately he ran out of it.
"Dongzhu Li is like this. He can't get his high position for free. How about leaving a few servants to take care of the village?" Gao Lishi said and turned around.
He brought many people with him, including palace maids and eunuchs.
"Can I not stay?" Li Yi asked straightforwardly.
"Of course!" Gao Lishi nodded.
"Then let's stay, two men and two men." Li Yi agreed.
He thought Gao Lishi was going to put people in, but when the other party said he didn't need to keep them, he decided not to stay, and he took the initiative to let people put them in.
Gao Lishi ordered two eunuchs and maids to come out. The four people who were ordered had complicated expressions.
When Li Yi saw it, he said to Gao Lishi: "General Gao, why not take turns and send four more people every ten days, so as to have a comparison."
Gao Lishi instantly understood that the little proprietor was angry.
The four people who were left did not want to stay, so the small proprietor meant to rotate.
When I later know the benefits of staying, I won't be able to keep it even if I want to, so I have to change it.
What he finds most interesting is that the small proprietor bargains and makes a decision.
"Yes!" Gao Lishi nodded and agreed, there was no other way, the young proprietor was the one that His Majesty liked.
The four people who were left behind still had complicated expressions.
They also figured out that this Li Yi seemed to be giving benefits.
After the matter was done, Gao Lishi and his party left.
Li Yi said to the four people: "The girls are named Taohong and Cuiliu, and the boys are named Qingsong and Brownyan. Write their names on your chest. They will rotate in the future and they will still have the same four names."
The two palace maids and the two young eunuchs nodded in agreement.
The four male servants and four maids in the village, plus the steward, were very nervous.
These are four people from the palace. Have you never seen how cruel the struggle in the palace is? Have you not heard about it?
Can people who can survive in such an environment survive with me in the future?
"Ah Da, Ah Er, Ah San, Ah Si, and Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum, please tell them what happened in Zhuangzi. You are not allowed to tell them how to make soy sauce."
Li Yi gave instructions to his people again.
"Yes, proprietor." Eight people responded at the same time.
In a word, it means that Zhuangzi's eight people have more power than the four people who rotated later.
The four of us are indispensable. Anyway, it’s only ten days, a ten-day period, and it’s not like we can’t go back.
Then that night we had hot pot, and the people in the village did not bring ten tenants with them.
The tenants ate a beef tendon alone elsewhere, the one with sauce.
Li Yi and fourteen people cooked hot pot with mutton and wild vegetables.
Then Li Yi brought the beef offal, tripe, etc. after they were processed, and dipped them in the last bit of chili sauce and garlic sauce to eat.
The staple food is noodles, oh, now they are called soup cakes.
Cut the belt noodles and put them in to cook at the end of the hot pot preparation.
The two palace maids and the two eunuchs were stunned by one meal.
Why is it so delicious? Zhuangzi eats this every day?
That night, the next four people stayed up all night in a small room, with no room left.
Waiting until daybreak, the steward took them to clean up the woodshed and a coal shed that was no longer equipped with coal.
Others drove bullock carts to the city to buy things, silk and jewelry.
Li Yi decided to make another set of beautiful clothes for himself.
If you have the status of paying tribute to the royal family, how can you be shabby?
We also have to buy cattle and horses.
I bought the ducks and geese and let them stock in the river when the weather is warm.
The money was spent like water.
Li Yi is not worried, because he will sell soy sauce tomorrow, and he will only sell two hundred catties a day, so the price has increased.
How much it goes up depends on the auction price.
It's an auction.
A jar of ten kilograms will be auctioned once, whoever pays the highest price will get it.
You have to hold back if you are not satisfied. If you have the ability, you can rob me? I will pay tribute to the emperor, and Gao Lishi will connect with me.
Li Yi feels that he has reached the peak of his life, and the next step is to continue to improve his life span.
You can't just get yourself knocked upside down.
When the people who went to the city come back at noon, kill a sheep first and eat it in the evening. It is too late to cook now.
The staple food for lunch is egg fried rice, which also contains diced lean meat. It’s so bold and rich.
Pair it with pickles and drink wild vegetable soup, with soybean oil floating in the soup.
There are forty-two students in a row.
All the people in Zhuangzi, big and small, men and women, are so happy.
There is actually egg fried rice with a lot of oil.
Everyone was moved, and Li Yi was even more moved.
What a great staff, just one egg fried rice is enough.
Thinking back to that time... no, I don't want to, it was all tears.
The palace maid and the eunuch brought the new bedding into the room and were shocked again while eating.
What kind of village is this? The proprietor simply doesn’t regard money as money.
It is said that it is the handover of spring and summer, and it is time to replenish the body.
So I bought a lot of sheep, picked out one and killed it, and it is still cooking in the pot.
The four of them are living well in the palace.
I don’t dare to just fry white rice with so much oil and eggs for just one meal.
The students didn't say anything, but after eating, they went back to study.
The students who took turns teaching the children had rulers in their hands, which they did not have before.
Because Li Yi said, the time of drought has come, dear friends, it is expensive to buy food, so just eat it on the farm.
So the students who had been focusing on teaching and not caring about other things found a thin wooden board as a ruler and wanted to spank the child.

"Eldest brother, third brother, you two are here, just in time. Let's have some mutton soup right away."
In the evening, Li Yi saw his two brothers coming and said hello happily.
"Yidi Zhuangzi's mutton soup must be delicious, don't you think so, Third Brother?" Li Chengqi said to Li Longji with a smile.
Li Longji saw the palace maid and the eunuch, narrowed his eyes and said, "Brother Yi, we have helped you get a tribute, you must make delicious food for us."
"Big brother and third brother, wait and see, I'll make water-fried belly for you." Li Yi agreed and decided to change it to some more chili noodles.
Because the life span has increased again, it seems that it is the result of the help of my two brothers to promote soaking seeds in lime water, accumulating fertilizer and using phosphorus stone.
This is not a one-time increase. The more people use it in the future, the more it will increase.
Five hundred and thirty hours were suddenly added.
The four maidservants knew that the brother whom the proprietor recognized was a powerful man, so they went to bring tea and dried fruits.
The two eunuchs and two maids who came from the palace, their hearts were beating so fast at this moment, they always regretted it.
So that’s how it is? How could it be like that?
Can you go back to the front again and stop rotating?
Returning to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, how difficult is it to stand out?
To be continued...
