Year by year, it feels slow when counting the days, but it seems so fast when counting the years.

Sometimes I am very happy, because every year is being right, and the days are getting better every year, so there is something to look forward to.

Sometimes it's inexplicably sad, because time is actually counting down for everyone.

In the blink of an eye, Li Qi is no longer the little Diudier, but a big Diudiuer.

No matter which aspect you look at, it's big.

When they returned to Jizhou, it was already the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, and the streets and alleys of Jizhou were already lit up.

Think about it, the last time Li Diudiu sat on the wall and looked forward to Xiahou Zhuo's return, it seemed to be just a few days ago.

Time is immutable, but it also gives people a lot of illusions.

The people have time to sit down and savor life slowly.

A pot of tea and a handful of melon seeds can taste the ups and downs of the past few decades.

Add a handful of peanuts and you can taste the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the coming decades.

So people can't help but sigh, what kind of days did everyone live a few years ago, and what kind of days are they now?

Before King Ning became the lord of Jizhou, counting from Zeng Ling's time, the life of the people of Jizhou was not at ease.

It is not them who are comfortable, those who are comfortable are those famous families, and those who are prosperous are those dignitaries.

But King Ning has only been in Jizhou for less than three years, and the lives of the people of Jizhou have more than doubled.

At least during the Chinese New Year, there is wine, meat and rice on the table in everyone's house, and there are laughter, tears and celebrations in everyone's family.

The wealthy merchants in the city even thought about building a statue of Li Qi in Jizhou City.

They got together and asked to meet His Royal Highness King Ning.

King Ning did not refuse, and entertained these people in the Yamen of Jizhou Mansion.

Everyone sat around, had tea and sugar, and chatted happily.

Although everyone is very reserved, after all, it is His Royal Highness King Ning who has seen him, but he is the greatest joy when he sees it.

When Li Qi heard that these people planned to spend tens of thousands of taels of silver, maybe even 100,000 taels of silver, to build him a statue of three feet and three feet high in Jizhou City, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Do you really want to spend this money?"

Li Qi asked.

Those rich businessmen nodded again and again, as if they were insincere.

Li Qi said slowly: "If your name is engraved on this statue, saying that you raised money to build it, it is naturally the best." ”

The rich businessmen nodded again and again, as if they did not agree.

Li Qi said: "But the statue is engraved with these words, it doesn't look so good-looking, the first is shabby, ask everyone to pool money to build a statue, and people will laugh at it, the second is not beautiful, carved so many words, as if commemorating something......"

He sighed, "But if I don't engrave your name, it will be a loss to you." ”

The wealthy businessmen looked at each other, not knowing for a moment what Li Qi's plan was.

Li Qi said: "In this way, since you have to spend this money, it is better for me to help you think of a better use." ”

Li Qi glanced at everyone and said, "Use this silver as a shield, and I will have your name engraved on the shield." ”

Li Qi said with a smile: "After all the shields made are distributed to the soldiers, they will know who made them the life-saving thing when they get it." ”

Li Qi got up and said as he walked: "You said that building a statue for me can also accumulate merit for you...... Then think about it, how much merit has been accumulated to save someone's life? ”

Li Qi's smile looked so gentle and soft.

"The most important part of my Central Plains Taoist Sect is to save people's lives as a meritorious service, and the people of Zen Buddhism in the Western Regions say that saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter."

"When you make a shield, you save a person, and you don't just save it once, every time you go on an expedition, this shield is a life-saving thing."

"The merit of your shield, to say a little, can at least be equivalent to the seventh-level floating map in the Zen Buddhism, and the Taoist teachings, at least to say a little, saving a life is to accumulate a meritorious ......"

Li Qi looked at the rich merchants and said, "What if there are a hundred shields, a thousand shields?" What about ten thousand shields? ”

Li Qi smiled and said: "If this is the case, if everyone here wants to talk about merit, then everyone can fly to the heavenly realm and rank in the immortal class." ”

The rich merchants looked at each other, and each of them had a sparkle in their eyes.

Li Qi said: "Think about it, the soldiers raised the shields in their hands, and at a glance they saw your name on the shield, and each of them will remember that you are their benefactors." ”

"Make a shield!"

A wealthy businessman stood up and said with an excited face: "I'm going to do it, I'm going to make a thousand faces!" ”

Another stood up and said, "I also make a thousand noodles." ”

People expressed their positions one by one, and Li Qi looked at them, in fact, he also knew that they would not be excited because of his words.

How can anyone do business to this extent?

They get excited because they feel they should.

But Li Qi didn't care whether their excitement was real or fake, because the silver was used in the most suitable place.

Really used the silver used to build the statue to create 10,000 shields, Li Qi felt that even if these people really went to the immortal class, it would be nothing.

Turn around and let Zhang Yu say hello to those immortals.

As long as the places where those immortals in the heavenly realm live are spacious enough.

It doesn't matter if you squeeze a little, immortals, squeezing a little is also an immortal.

Shared housing is also an immortal, and shared housing is both.

So, both sides happily reached a satisfactory result and made a shield.

The next day, when it was almost noon, the carriage was moving.

Li Qi still likes this, it seems to be more free here.

In Tang Pidi's words, Li Qi felt that he had to wear a mask to be the king of Ning, and in the carriage and horse shop, he was still Li Qi.

Iron pots, firewood.

Li Qi looked at the steaming big pot of stew, thinking about whether he should eat rice or steamed buns for a while.

This kind of stew, this kind of aroma that is so rich that it makes people's stomachs tremble, is simply rare in the world.

As long as you do too much, you will be able to master it.

Although this is not Li Qi's talent, unlike some people, it seems that they have recipes in their heads when they are born, and they are delicious in the world if they are made casually.

can also rely on this talent to coax the little girl beautifully.

But he was studious enough and persistent enough.

This row of iron pots, all steaming.

This pot is stewed meat, next to a pot of stewed fish, and next to it is a pot of stewed chicken......

Li Qi pinched his waist and looked at it, thinking that Yuzhou would probably be like this, and the sense of accomplishment should be about the same.

Hey?

Why do you use the metaphor of beating down Yuzhou?

At that moment, a man came in from outside the door, bent over, head in, butt still outside the door.

As I walked inside, I sniffed hard and came in.

As soon as Li Qi saw the man enter the door, his eyes began to glow.

"Why did you suddenly come back this year?"

Li Qi immediately asked.

Xiahou Zhuo said as he walked forward: "This smell is too fragrant, you stewed it?" ”

Li Qi said: "That's nature. ”

Xiahou Zhuo asked, "I don't believe in your craftsmanship, unless the meat is different, so fragrant...... Did you stew the Condor? ”

In the distance, the Condor raised his head and looked at Xiahou Zhuo, and his eyes seemed to say that he was afraid that he was a fool when he came in.

Xiahou Zhuo walked to Li Qi's side, glanced at the pot full of meat, and then looked at the stewed chicken next to him.

"Here's the Condor, there's the dog."

Xiahou said: "I'll taste it first." ”

He reached out and pinched a piece out of the pot and put it in his mouth, and the taste penetrated his soul at once.

"You're a fake Li Qi."

Xiahou Zhuo looked at Li Qi: "Say,

Who was the demon who took Li Qi away? ”

At this moment, Xiahou Yuli and her mother came in together, and the moment they saw Li Qi, Xiahou Yuli's face turned red inexplicably.

As if to cover up, he deliberately looked at the side of the Condor: "Ah, Condor, you are fat again!" ”

The Condor saw Xiahou Zhuo's disgusted face, but when he saw Xiahou Yuli, he immediately ran over.

Circle around Xiahou Yuli, and use its nose to arch on Xiahou Yuli's legs.

Li Qi looked at its embarrassed appearance and asked Xiahou Zhuo: "You asked me just now, did you stew the Condor?" ”

Xiahou Zhuo: "Huh? ”

Li Qi said: "Tomorrow, tomorrow's stew." ”

Xiahou Yuli teased the Condor for a while, and walked to Li Qi, who was talking to Mrs. Xiahou with his hands behind his back.

Pretended to listen for a while, and then gently kicked Li Qi with his foot.

"What about Ning'er?"

She asked.

Li Qi said: "Go out to buy things, I'm going to come back soon." ”

"Hmm......."

Xiahou Yuli seemed to want to say something, but suddenly ran away: "I'll go find her." ”

Xiahou Zhuo looked at his sister running out, and couldn't help but sigh heavily.

Suddenly raised his foot and kicked Li Qi's ass.

Li Qi asked in surprise: "Why is this?" ”

Xiahou said: "That pig arched my sister just now. ”

Li Qi said: "Then you kick the pig." ”

Xiahou said: "Kick it." ”

Li Qi: "According to the opinion of our deceivers, what a low-level pit you are......

Xiahou said: "A pig is a pig, whether he is low-level or not, a pig is stupid." ”

Outside the door, Tang Pidi and Tangtai came in together, and when they saw that Xiahou Zhuo and Mrs. Xiahou had actually returned, they hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

Tang Pi said: "I just saw Miss Xiahou running out, talking about stupid pigs and stupid pigs and stupid pigs while running......

He asked Li Qi, "What happened to her?" ”

Xiahou Zhuo: "Hahahahahaha......."

Li Qi said: "It's the Condor!" ”

Tang Pi said: "Divine Condor? Is the Condor angry with Miss Xiahou? Shall we eat it? ”

Xiahou Zhuo: "Okay, tomorrow's stew." ”

Tang Pidi looked at the Condor, then at Li Qi, and then laughed inexplicably.

Li Qi glanced at him: "Laughing fart? ”

Tang Pi said: "What's so funny about fart, laugh at a pig." ”

Yu Jiuling ran in from outside the door, and said as he ran, "Are you ready?" ”

Li Qi replied: "Almost, hungry?" ”

Yu Jiuling said: "Hide quickly, Luo Jing is actually here!" ”

Luo Jing was a foot away behind Yu Jiuling, and when he heard Yu Jiuling's words, he immediately stepped around.

Suddenly, I realized.

The heart said that it was no wonder that Li Qi's mother-in-law, Gao Xining, was used to using hidden weapons.

But inside and outside the carriage, it was actually swept clean.

So Luo Jing looked at Luo Zhijie beside him: "Take off your shoes." ”

Luo Zhijie didn't know why, but he immediately took off his shoes.

Luo Jing took the shoes, took them, and threw them out with a whoosh, hitting Yu Jiuling's buttocks.

Yu Jiuling looked back and saw that it was a shoe, first looked at Luo Jing, Luo Jing looked proud, and then looked at Luo Zhijie, Luo Zhijie looked innocent.

Yu Jiuling said in his heart that it doesn't matter if you are innocent or not, he shouted towards the Condor: "Come here!" ”

The Condor twisted his big ass and ran over, and Yu Jiuling stuffed the shoe into the Condor mouth: "It's the New Year, take it and eat it." ”

The Condor ran away with his shoes in his mouth, and ran with his butt in his hand.

Luo Zhijie: "......"

Don't ask why the Condor likes to hold shoes.

Asking is all thanks to dogs.
