On the twentieth day of the lunar month, there are three more days, Chang'an has a small year, and there are four more days, and some places have a small year.

Prices in Chang'an City began to rise, and Caoyun appeared to be busier.

On weekdays, people are reluctant to eat, and they don't buy until the end of the year, cutting a pork and buying a chicken......

People who have the conditions make their own caramel candy, and if they don't know how to make it, they naturally have to buy it.

The children are happiest this year, and their families have money.

On the coal pitch outside the city, a group of people are there. Ha! Oh! Hum! ’

They each have one or two tools for making honeycomb coal.

The kind of big ones that Li Yi provided are used, and more are slightly thinner bamboo tubes.

The craftsmen discovered the secret, as long as there is a hole in the middle, the coal will burn.

Some craftsmen make small pieces of bamboo that are joined together to form a noodle tool.

Guess directly on the coal pile, guess a few times, pick it up and go to the open space and knock it, and a bunch of mini honeycomb coal comes out.

What kind of briquettes are shaken, just throw them in the stove.

The disadvantage is that the tools are perishable, and bamboo is far inferior to iron.

"Why are there briquettes shakers over there?" After a few days, Pei Yaoqing slipped here again and asked in a place.

"There are people in the city who don't want to burn small honeycomb coal, and a basket of briquettes has risen by two to three cents." The officials knew the situation.

Pei Yaoqing thought for a moment and said, "Other craftsmen may find a substitute to make a stove like the Li family Zhuangzi that can be carried around?" ”

"I can't do it, I can only use a tandoor oven to put honeycomb coal, it's heavy, unless it's put on the car, the price of the stove made by Li Dongzhu is too high, and the rich people are willing to use it."

The official gave an answer and sighed, and now the official has begun to think about the people.

When a new thing is made, whether the people can afford it or not is the most important thing.

"That's fine." Pei Yaoqing couldn't think of a way by himself.

"Ming Mansion, why don't you go and ask Li Dongzhu." The official came up with an idea.

Pei Yaoqing shook his head: "If he can do it, he will definitely not say it." ”

"Not necessarily, Li Dongzhu sometimes can't remember." The official always felt that there was no problem that Li Yi could not solve.

***

Li Yi is solving the problem at the moment, solving the children's problems.

The children on the farm are of all ages, and firecrackers are made.

Each child over the age of eight was given a hundred small straw whips, very thin, with bamboo pipes inserted with charcoal strips.

I played with my own Zhuangzi children, and I didn't braided the whip, but scattered it directly, otherwise I would have to tear it down.

The child with the whip took it and put it around, snapping, snapping.

Younger children are unhappy, they want to play, but no.

This is not something that makes Li easy to embarrass about, he is worried about why the children are as 'smart' as he was when he was a child.

The whip pinched the back point with his fingernails, lit it and waved it out, and some waited before throwing it, causing the whip to explode in mid-air.

How smart it is to know long-range strikes, and at the same time the air explosion is the most lethal.

"I'll give you a new toy." Li Yi went to the workshop again, the firecracker workshop, to adjust the ratio of saltpeter, charcoal and sulfur. At the same time increase the grain of sand.

We don't pursue maximum flammability and swelling, just listen to the sound.

Then spread the paste on a large sheet of paper, place the reconfigured items a little apart, and finally cover a piece of paper.

Cut it according to each place where the material is put away, and it becomes a small paper cannon.

Take the yellow mud to make a cylinder with a diameter of more than half an inch and a height of half an inch, and bake it dry.

Sandwich the piece of paper containing the charge between two pieces of mud, put a layer of paper on the outside, and brush the paste on it.

Li Yi picked up a few, went to the workshop outside, and threw it the ground, and a mud fell down, 'Bang! ’

"It's done, take all their little whips back, the big kids and the little dolls have them, drop them."

Li Yi was very satisfied, and there was no need to make other chemical material cannons.

A group of people went to grab the children and confiscate things.

A group of people helped make the mud cubes, and it was too late to dry them, so they baked them directly.

Not counting labor costs, only materials, a penny can be made about ten.

By lunchtime, the unhappy child was happy again.

After eating, he ran out and crackled.

After falling, pick up the fallen ones, and some of the mud is not broken, and they can continue to be used.

If it is broken, peel off the paper outside, put the mud in the garbage basket of Zhuangzi, put the paper in another basket, the garbage should be sorted, and the paper can be recycled.

"Brother Yi, Brother Yi, in this morning's football game, many people heard that there was bone broth to drink and rice to eat, and they were all full, and some people were standing."

Li Chengqi came over to talk about the football game, and there were many people.

"Brother Yi, you don't know, the two strongest teams of the four Chang'an teams played the game, and the scene was big, and the audience called out......"

Li Chengji continued to introduce the scene of the competition.

A game is more than half an hour, plus halftime, and entry, an hour.

In the end, the score was 25-28, which was exciting.

The audience can't wait to kick the ball in person, helping to shout that someone has grabbed the ball or something.

"After watching the game, many people left and talked about going to the store where I advertised." Li Chengji said that he was most concerned about things.

The purpose of playing football games is to make money and then use it for the people.

"Congratulations, big brother." Li Yi congratulated, he didn't go to watch the game, he didn't have time.

He had to exercise his body, practice his medical skills, copy medical books, give lectures, read accounts, and ponder new things.

The most pleasant thing to do every day is to walk around the village, watch the villagers and migrant workers have a good life, and have a sense of achievement.

And, of course, harvest life.

"Big brother, on the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, there is still a competition in the ice rink, you organize it, and I will prepare the prizes for you." Li Yi was troublesome and directly let the eldest brother take care of it.

"Okay, lively." Li Chengqi is addicted.

"Proprietor, the Mu Chengxi who came a few days ago came with a cow again, ten, this time the cow is good."

Song De ran over, and the smile on his face was not hidden at all.

"I'll take a look." Li Chengqi trotted to the main road of Zhuangzi.

A group of people came over.

"Proprietor Li, I will bring my family here today, ten cows, stay today, and take a look tomorrow morning." The old man said to Li Yi with kindness.

Next to him stood a woman in her forties, who gave the impression of dignity at first.

"Yes, you boy looks pleasing to the eye." The woman said to Li Yi.

Li Yi had several titles in his mind for a while, aunt, aunt, aunt, and grandmother......

In the end, it was replaced with: "Thank you, Mrs. Mu." ”

"Okay." The woman said, took out a jade pendant from her sleeve, and took Li Yi's hand and put it on: "Wear it, your baby is good." ”

Li Yi wanted to refuse, but found that his hand was clutched, so he had to nod: "Yi will put it away, please outside the wooden staff and Mrs. Mu inside." ”

A few people went to the courtyard arranged for the old man, and on the way they saw children snapping and throwing things there, and the sound was crisp.

"What are the dolls playing with?" The old man asked naturally.

"Drop the cannon and play with the kids." Li Yi said and beckoned, and several children ran over.

"Give me some." Li Yi stretched out his hand, and the children pulled out of their pockets.

"Enough is enough, go play, don't fall where the poultry and livestock, and don't go to the place where the hay is fired."

Li Yi warned again, and introduced a few dropping cannons in his hand to others.

One person fell two, I thought it was quite interesting.

"How much money does this object cost?" The woman asked suddenly.

"I can make ten for a penny now, and after that, I can make twenty." Li Yi named two prices.

"The dolls have dropped a lot of money and gone out?" The woman is distressed about money.

"Just like playing and eating snacks, you have to pay for watching people dance."

Li Yi felt that the person who gave him a piece of jade should not be misunderstood.

"But the people?" The old man asked directly.

"Yes!" Li Yi nodded in response.
