For a while, Li Chengji had an idea in his heart.

Since his father's abdication, his aunt Princess Taiping was given death.

The remaining five brothers became emperors, and the others did not dare to participate in any political affairs.

You can only play in the daytime, but you should do something.

"Come on, Brother Ren, try the secret seasoning and soy sauce made by my village."

Li Yike didn't know what Li Chengqi was thinking about, he was pushing soy sauce hard.

Li Chengqi returned to his soul and dipped the pill in soy sauce according to his words.

As soon as he bit into it, he felt an indescribable comfort, his tongue and mouth, and the whole thing was extremely comfortable.

Li Yi looked at it and said in his heart: Do you know how powerful monosodium glutamate is? More direct than the sauce isn't it?

Thinking about it, as soon as Li Yi turned his head, he saw that those people hired by this benevolent brother were taking a small bite of dumplings, so he dipped them in soy sauce.

Li Yi couldn't help but shudder, how much water do these people have to drink when they go back? Not afraid of getting scared?

Li Chengqi dipped it twice here, hesitated slightly, and asked, "Brother Xian, how much soy sauce is there?" ”

"Yes." Li Yi nodded vigorously: "When Brother Ren returns, bring ten altars, ten catties each." ”

As he spoke, he swept his eyes at the person who planted garlic, meaning, as a wage.

Li Chengqi didn't push back, and smiled.

And asked: "The method of soybean oil?" ”

"Brother Ren will come tomorrow, this method is not difficult. Qi Min has to keep a record. The oil is crushed and crushed, and I squeeze it with a wedge. ”

Li Yi said how people used to deal with vegetable oil.

Sesame oil is the simplest, grinding, grinding to complete the sesame paste, after precipitation, there is oil slick on the upper layer.

Other plant seeds, the method of crushing.

When "Heavenly Creation" comes out, there is a method of entering the wooden wedge and producing oil.

Li Chengqi was a little embarrassed and asked: "Brother Xian's method of squeezing beans into oil, can there be a family admonition?" ”

Li Yi shook his head: "This method is created by the younger brother, and he doesn't want to keep his secret, but he is hungry." ”

Li Chengqi was stunned for a moment, put down his chopsticks and saluted: "Virtuous brother Gaoyi." ”

"That...... Brother Ren, you take the soy sauce back, if you meet someone who is destined, you can say it on your behalf, ten catties per altar, a copper coin, no, a silk horse. ”

Li Yi, who had just been praised for his high righteousness, directly began to talk about selling soy sauce.

He originally wanted to sell it for ten catties, that is, a thousand Wen, but he felt that it was expensive.

Then changed to a silk silk horse, in the Kaiyuan period, a horse silk is fifty feet long, one foot eight inches wide, and the money is five hundred and fifty Wen.

Then a pound of soy sauce is fifty-five dollars.

Li Yi thinks it's okay, a pound of soy sauce also has a cost, and it's almost five cents, mainly because salt is expensive.

He brewed a hundred large vat of soy sauce billets, and this time he only opened one vat, and the oil was produced for the first time.

It can be made two or three times in the future, and the more you go on, the more salt you have to add, and if you don't add salt, you won't get oil, and then mix it with distilled water.

Li Chengqi didn't know the calculations in the heart of the young man in front of him and the huge profits of soy sauce.

He was embarrassed again, ten jars of soy sauce were five thousand five hundred wen.

I called a hundred people to come over, and in the afternoon, fifty-five yuan per person, the salary was too high.

So he decided to help sell, the prince sells soy sauce, which is considered an elegant thing, right?

"Virtuous brother and relieved, for his brother will find that good appetite and wealth."

"Thank you Brother Ren, when there are good things, I will share them with Brother Ren." Li Yi is in a good mood.

He saw that the other party was quite rich, and maybe there was someone in his family who was an official in Beijing.

***

After eating, a group of people came in silence and walked in silence, waving their hands without taking away a drop of soy sauce.

However, the dish used to dip the soy sauce is clean.

"Proprietor, this is the account of today's oil consumption." The steward Song De came to Li Yi's study and handed over a piece of paper.

"It's hard work." Li Yi took the paper and nodded to Song De.

I understand what you mean, we don't have enough noodles in our house, and we can't invite so many people to eat dumplings anymore.

The steward left, and Li Yi entered the account.

The steward uses the three-pillar settlement method, and there are requirements when recruiting, and the literacy will be calculated.

Li Yi entered his own accounts, double-entry bookkeeping.

There are also table sets that he made.

For example, three tables are equal to two tables plus one table.

It's not practical now, but the rules have to be set.

Includes line charts, compound pie charts, ......

***

Li Chengqi rushed home with ten jars of soy sauce and one jar of soybean oil.

Cross the Bashui first, and then you can reach Tonghuamen for seven miles.

But he didn't go to Tonghua Gate, but ran diagonally down from outside the city to Chunming Gate.

A large area on the north side of the road from Chunming Gate is Xingqing Palace.

It was originally called Longqingfang.

Li Chengji lives here, and his three younger brothers also live together.

This year, I was moved out and ran to the diagonal Anxing Fang.

If you go back to Anxingfang, you should go through Tonghuamen.

Enter the Tonghua Gate, pass by Yongjiafang to arrive, Yongjiafang below is Xingqing Palace.

He's the equivalent of running a long distance and going around in a circle.

The purpose is to go to the main gate of Xingqing Palace, sit in the north and face south, and the main gate of Xingqing Palace is in the south.

said that he had something serious, and asked the person with the soy sauce jar to give two jars, and then he went around and went home.

He pondered, if the third brother didn't go to Yongxingfang today, he would return to Xingqing Palace, and as soon as he heard that he was going to the main gate to deliver things, he would also ask.

If you don't go back to Xingqing Palace, the people in Xingqing Palace will naturally go to the third brother and say.

In Li Chengqi's view, soy sauce is a small matter, and soybean oil is a big matter.

One more oil, and the people will consume less grain.

The key is that the oil extraction method, the beans can be squeezed out of the oil, and other oil crops will squeeze out more oil.

In the palace, Li Longji was still reviewing the recitals.

Since he had absolute rights, he has been busier.

Dispatch generals in key positions in various places and place people who are at ease with them.

There are too many tax-free lands annexed by Buddhism, and they are limited to Buddha.

The struggle for the throne was too cruel, many people were killed, and the people were silent.

Just after the Chinese New Year, he sent troops to fight the Khitan, but he never beat anyone, so he asked others to beat him, and he lost his troops and lost his generals.

A few days after turning his head, the Turks took the opportunity to call, but they didn't fight Datang, and asked Datang to beat them, which was very good.

After less than 20 days, a group of Western Turks united to mutiny, but fortunately they were cleaned up.

In April, the Turks came again to propose.

Why are there so many things going on day by day?

And it was almost time when the harvest was not enough, and the people were going to starve.

The meal is not fragrant, if it weren't for the bowl of soup cakes sent by the queen just now, I would be hungry now.

Just thinking about it, someone came to report.

It is said that the king of Song went to Huangzhuang in the east of the city today, and heard the sound of children reading in the neighboring village, so he went.

After having dinner in the neighboring village at noon, 100 people were transferred to the neighboring village to plant garlic, and they ate again in the evening, and returned with the number of eleven in the small altar.

Leave two jars of soy sauce at the main gate of Xingqing Palace, and return to the palace.

Li Longji was bored, and when he heard that the eldest brother went out to help people grow garlic and brought things back, he was interested.

Before he could inquire, someone came to report it.

said that when King Song returned to his house, he ordered someone to send a jar of soy sauce to each of his three younger brothers.

Two other altars were sent to the Baifu Hall and the Emperor.

"What is soy sauce?" Li Longji didn't think that the eldest brother would think about using this soy sauce to poison everyone.

The person who reported the news hurriedly said: "The supervisor of Chengdong Huangzhuang said that soy sauce, like water and oil, is more delicious than sauce, and can be dipped in prison pills." ”

"He also said that Li Yi of the neighboring village understands the method of squeezing soybeans into oil, and the oil and water in the village are sufficient, and there is grain accumulation."

"In addition, the kiln in Zhuangzhong produces bricks and mortar, makes three biogas digesters, and connects the copper pipes to store gas in the swamp, which is combustible in case of open fire."

"The village uses biogas as a lamp, which is brighter than a candle flame. It is used for the children of the poor family to study at night. ”

Li Longji gasped and was frightened.

There is a Zhuangzi next to the Huangzhuang, which builds a kiln to burn bricks and build a pond like a swamp.

And then a tube is inserted, and the gas comes out and ignites, brighter than a candle?

How? In the future, you Zhuangzi will not cost money to light the lamp?

Li Longji thought, glancing at the candles around him.

The rest of the temple was dark, and only his own side was bright.

Wax is expensive.

Lighting the oil lamp smells bad again, and it's not bright enough.

He made a swamp thing in a Zhuangzi, why is it brighter than mine?

I don't know why, Li Longji was a little surprised.

Thinking about it, Li Longji approved a few important movements, and went to find his eldest brother Li Chengqi, and he had to ask about it clearly.

By the time Li Longji arrived at the Song Palace, it was already the right time, eight o'clock in the evening.

Li Chengqi was waiting to eat the prison pills, and he didn't eat a few bites on Li Yi Zhuangzi, but asked for the seasoning to prepare the prison pill filling.

When I got home, I asked people to chop the stuffing and bread prison balls, and the stuffing was taken from Li Yi.

The mixed packet used a third, enough for ten people.

As soon as Li Longji came, the others retreated.

The two brothers sat on each other and took prison pills.

Li Chengqi first asked the emperor's younger brother not to dip anything, and directly ate the prison pills mixed with seasonings.

Then switch to soy sauce.

Add the garlic puree.

Mix with vinegar.

Drip sesame oil.

Li Longji tasted everything and finally understood how delicious soy sauce was.

"Big brother, why is the prison pill more fragrant today than in the past?" Li Longji asked for advice.

Li Chengqi smiled: "Your Majesty, third brother, I took the stuffing from Li Yi, the more meat there is, the more fragrant the balls." ”

"Look at it again, there is a lot of oil dripping from the pill on the plate, and I added the soybean oil I took from Li Yi."

"Don't say that there is still meat, and the prison balls wrapped in only vegetarian vegetables taste good."

He said good things, soybean oil tastes better than other oils in the filling, not to mention the seasoning.

"What about Li Yi?" Li Longji swallowed the prison pill and asked.

"There is a literary talent, knows farming, knows how to cook, understands work, and at the moment, it seems that he has a mind."

Li Chengji gave an evaluation, or praise.

To this day, he has not forgotten the shock of the children reciting the thousand-character text in the early morning.

That kind of power, like the brilliance of the rising sun, is as brilliant as the clouds.

Later, I saw the tenant children wearing the same clothes, carrying beautiful school bags that they had never seen before.

It feels like a mountain and a river.

The mountains are majestic, and the water is murmuring.

Like a painting.

Then he told Li Longji about the rules for planting garlic, but Qi Min didn't have it.

When Li Longji heard this, infinite reverie arose in his heart.

I'd love to see that place, to see the boy.

At night, Li Longji stayed in the Song Palace.

Lying on the collapse, he couldn't sleep for a long time, muttering: "Heng Mei coldly pointed at Qianfu, and attached the head is willing to be a son of a cow." ”

The next morning, Li Longji was still eating prison pills in the Song Palace.

But this time it was steamed, pure beef filling, so there was a meatball in the ball.

Still dipped in garlic sauce and vinegar, after eating, Li Longji packed the portions of four people and left.

Go to the Baifu Hall first, and send two copies of the pill to his father and Doulu Guifei.

Another portion was given to the queen and queen, and the remaining one was given to Gao Lishi, and at the same time soy sauce.

Gao Lishi, Emperor Taishang, and Doulu Guifei all ate it by themselves.

Queen Wang tasted it, and beckoned several palace maids and eunuchs around her, one by one, to dip it in soy sauce and eat it.
