Chapter 2696: A Little Sadness and Longing for Home

At eight or nine o'clock, the sun appeared in the east. The local people of the Tang Dynasty, who had enjoyed the whole night, waved their arms to bid farewell to the fleet.

Turning their heads, they began to sleep soundly. They were so full of food that they were sleepy.

Li Longji and others were energetic. They couldn't stay with them all night and rest in the house built on the land.

In front of the French window, he ate the fried fish fillet made by Li Yi with a knife in one hand and chopsticks in the other, dipping it in garlic chili sauce.

Princess Yongmu and Xiaolan each had a steamed bun with braised pork. It was not easy to eat the main dish for breakfast, so they stuffed it into the cake.

There was also a little girl eating with them. She was eight years old this year. She was going home.

After passing the Solomon Islands, it was her home.

Li Yi was in a daze at the gluten cake in front of him. He looked tired. He made several kinds of rice. Can't everyone make a unified one?

"Li Lang." Princess Yongmu ate two bites. Seeing that Li Yi didn't move, she asked with concern.

"It's okay. It's okay to go back. Come again next time." Li Yi muttered.

Everyone looked at the little girl, and it was obvious that Li Yi was talking about her.

The little girl blinked her big eyes: "Go home and I'll take a look. When you go to a distant place, take me to Datang with you. Take everyone with you."

"Yes, there are only about 300 people in total. What's the point of you guarding the island? Go to Datang, and arrange for others to stay here. Eat."

Li Yi figured it out instantly. He felt sorry. The little girl was smart. Even if she was not as good as the three apprentices, she was better than ordinary children.

He felt that if he could continue to teach, the child would definitely be able to gain more knowledge. Now throwing her back would be a pity for a good seedling.

It's just an island with a lot of bird droppings, and soldiers were sent to garrison in rotation.

The steam engine fleet was responsible for delivering things, and also bringing things back to earn back the travel expenses.

As long as there are enough goods, it is also cost-effective to send a cruise ship. One trip back and forth, you can get a lot.

He ate happily, pickled vegetables, roasted frozen sausages, and thickened soup, and he finished eating in a short while.

The little girl's face was also covered with oil from the braised pork.

There is a group of natives in the Solomon Islands. The fleet passed by the cruise ship non-stop. The steam engine ship came to the port to arrange to deliver things and tools.

After another day and a half, in the morning, Guano Island was in sight.

The fixed-wing drone flew over to take pictures first. The arrangement was rows of houses, stone below and wood above, two floors.

Smoke rose from the open space next to it. The people on the island gathered together and, led by the female leader, hung up three flags.

A three-star flag with the sun, moon and stars, a flag with the word Yulin embroidered with blood on a bright yellow background, and a flag with a dragon pattern and red Tang characters on a bright yellow background.

After the flags were hung, the meal was also ready, and everyone ate under the flags.

Pickles made from wild vegetables, porridge made from wild vegetables and fish with rice.

Everyone ate with chopsticks and wooden spoons, and looked skilled.

The drone lowered its altitude, and the people on the ground heard the sound and looked up.

Someone jumped up and pointed at the drone after landing and shouted.

The female leader was stunned for a few breaths, and called everyone to stand up, stand under the three flagpoles, regardless of gender, age or status.

The female leader seemed to remember something and shouted again. Everyone ran into the house. When they came out a few minutes later, they changed into silk clothes.

The female leader was wearing the official uniform of the governor of the governor's office, and the others had smiles on their faces.

"Take it back, take it back, take it back to me, and you will be the governor when you go back. Brother Yi, where is the right place to be the governor?"

Li Longji was so excited when he saw the behavior of the people on the shore of the island that his eyes turned red.

In a distant place, there is a small island in the vast ocean. People on the island first hang the flag of the Tang Dynasty when they eat.

The moment they saw the drone, they happily changed into their best clothes, and one leader was actually wearing the official uniform of the Tang Dynasty.

These people are guarding the island for the Tang Dynasty! But the food they eat is so poor, there is not even a salted duck egg, or even an extra piece of fermented bean curd!

"Third brother, don't worry, don't worry yet, shout, tell them not to eat the meal, put it on the boat to feed the pigs, and keep the pickles, the pickles of wild vegetables are delicious."

Li Yi can understand, but he needs to keep it stable. It's good enough for the island to eat these things.

When I came here, the people on the island didn't have any decent tableware, let alone houses.

Eat fish, shellfish, birds, bird eggs, wild vegetables, seaweed, and a kind of grass seeds like barley.

Store rainwater in the concave parts of shells and stones, or drink water on leaves.

The cooking method is roasting, and eating raw is also a kind?

Now drinking rice and eating wild vegetable pickles, the quality of life has improved a lot, otherwise how can people hang flags?

"Red-braised pork, brother Dongzhu, red-braised pork."

The little girl looked at the family members on the screen, thinking about what to let her family eat.

"Yes, braised pork. Tell the kitchen to take out some of the frozen braised pork and stew it with the frozen rice beans. Remember to add more ginger slices and steam the rice. Use glutinous rice."

Li Yi agreed. The braised pork was prepared in advance and frozen, waiting to be served with other dishes. It was fast.

Otherwise, good braised pork would take more than four hours to stew, and the one made in a pressure cooker in 20 minutes would be inedible.

The kitchen had already prepared breakfast and started working overtime. Fortunately, there were not many people. They made 600 portions, but less than 300 people ate them. It was enough.

The drone shouted, telling the people on the island to find a shady place to stay first. The ship would not arrive for some time, so don't eat the meal. There were delicious foods.

The female leader led her people to another awning, with several people in one awning.

Someone skillfully picked up the hay there and wanted to weave something. This was the function of the awning.

The female leader shouted again, everyone stopped, yes, wear new clothes, don't get them torn.

The yacht arrived first, it was fast, the boat was "small", and a group of ministers moved over on the yacht.

Li Yi drove a helicopter carrying Li Longji and others, and the little girl looked at the scenery below and giggled, going home!

The helicopter chose a slightly farther location, an open space, a beach to land.

After the propeller stopped spinning, the hatch opened.

After the little girl was carried down, she ran towards the tribe, and fell twice on the way, covered in sand.

"I'm back, I'm back." The little girl hugged her mother and cried, and her mother cried too.

There was no news for several years, and I thought she was gone.

As a result, she came back, and she looked different from them. She was beautiful, her clothes were nice, and her eyes were smart.

Li Longji and others did not move, waiting.

After Li Dan and others lined up, they joined in.

The ceremonial guards were set out, the canopy was also propped up, and the palace maids, eunuchs, Qianniu Guards, and Jinwu Guards were in place.

Li Longji and Li Dan walked side by side, Li Dan was on the left, Concubine Dou Lu was on Li Dan's left, and Queen Wang was on Li Longji's right.

Then came the other concubines, Princess Yongmu was the first after the concubines, and Li Yi followed beside her.

The ministers behind were arranged according to rank and actual power, and Qingdai and the other three were in the middle.

The little girl ran to the female leader to introduce herself, and the female leader greeted her. Her rank was not low, from the third rank.

A governor's office had less than 20,000 households, and it was a lower governor, from the third rank, and her people were pitifully few. To be continued
