Chapter 53 The Prime Minister Was Shocked by the Food

Chapter 53: The shocking farmer’s meal (first update)

Before it was time to eat, everyone wandered to the place where the water was flowing.

A large area of ​​gardens is still under construction, requiring simplicity, simplicity, nature and leisure.

The more this happens, the more difficult it is.

Fortunately, Li Yi has the drawings. How did they build Suzhou gardens? It's like Qi Men Dun Jia.

Copying means there are few craftsmen.

"Brother Yi, there is a world of difference here." Li Chengqi stood next to a branch of the small water canal and put his hand into the water to shake.

"Otherwise, it's okay to say that we are short of manpower, craftsmen." Li Yi wanted to bring in another group of people.

"Lack of craftsmen." Li Chengqi repeated, looking at Wei Zhigu.

Wei Zhigu, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, always punishes craftsmen who accidentally do something wrong.

Or they are ostracized, have a bad personality, and are not good at skills.

Wei Zhigu didn't dare to tell me about my arrangements. He just indicated with his eyes that he knew and would make arrangements later.

"You want craftsmen with good skills, right brother Yi? You don't want those who steal things?" Li Chengqi said to Li Yi, but actually he wanted to tell Wei Zhigu.

"It depends on the reason for stealing. Those who drink or go to Pingkangfang don't want it, and those who gamble don't want it. If they steal things and sell them to pay for their family's medical treatment and rice, I want it."

Li Yi has a choice, don't kill him with one shot.

In fact, as mentioned earlier, he also has a way to cure it, but he doesn't want to and it takes a lot of effort.

"Yes, Yi Di is right. Sickness and lack of food do not exist in Yi Di Zhuangzi." Li Chengqi agreed.

Wei Zhigu knew who he should send it to.

He was so willing that he even decided to send some good craftsmen over with his family.

Staying in the Ministry of Industry, the role of craftsmen is obviously not as great as that in Li Yizhuangzi.

Li Yi always has new things to do and is short of manpower, so why not support him?

After walking around for a while, it was almost time and everyone went to the canteen to eat.

Two new people came, and Li Yi didn't want to bring them into his yard.

"What is this? Zhuangzi calls it a canteen? A place for farmers to eat?" Zhang said he was frightened when he entered the canteen.

It's such a big place, with rooms connected to each other, all connected, and everyone goes back and forth to get food.

Put the food there and serve it yourself.

This is not a problem, but why is there a strong smell of meat entering my nose?

There is a small sign in front of each dish with writing on it.

Wei Zhigu, who was also here for the first time: "Scallions mixed with tofu, pork belly stir-fried with plantains, chicken stewed with mushrooms, braised pork, fried fish, scrambled eggs with garlic sprouts, duck rack soup, roast duck slices, stir-fried chicken offal, and sauced duck liver , steamed grass carp, dry pot pork kidney..."

He recited one after another, a total of twenty-six dishes.

Next to the staple food are millet rice, rice, steamed buns, hand-rolled noodles ready to be cooked at any time, and sorghum rice soaked in water.

As for the side dishes, there are red and green cubes, salted beans, salted dried tofu, dried vegetables and pig skin pickles, and salted duck eggs cut in half.

The more he thought about it, the lower his voice became. He and Zhang Shuo had the same idea.

Is this the food eaten by villagers in Zhuangzi? Are the lives of the people of our Tang Dynasty already so good?

He looked at Li Yi again and felt a little scared. It was too scary.

Not to mention someone hired by my own family, I would not dare to eat so many kinds of vegetables in a day.

Many dishes are written clearly, and I can only guess by the words. I understand the stir-fry, but what is the stir-fry? What is a dry pot? How is braised pork cooked and reddish? What is the difference between steaming and steaming?

Zhang said he stood next to Wei Zhigu, waiting and watching.

The farmer came over, took a bamboo dinner plate, served vegetables and rice, and then filled the pottery bowl with soup, and took it with him to find a place to sit down and eat.

The two of them looked at each other and made sure that the food for the banker was not just for show.

The farmer served the food very naturally and ate it normally.

It's not like when you can't eat meat normally and suddenly encounter meat.

Li Longji and others had already packed their own meals and entered the smallest connected room next to them.

Zhang Shuo and Wei Zhigu immediately picked out the dishes they wanted to eat, packed some and followed.

I didn’t dare to pretend too much, so there was a sign on the place where the food was served: Serve as much as you want. If you don’t have enough, come again.

"This cabin is nice." Zhang said that after he came in and took a look, he thought it was good.

"Separated specifically for me." Li Yi said.

Two eunuchs and two maids also came in after finishing their meal and sat at a table next to the breakfast table.

The entire cabin can accommodate four long tables.

Zhang Yue and Wei Zhigu looked at the four people. The four people were not afraid at all and lowered their heads to eat their own food.

The two of you have served. Your Majesty and the Queen are eating, and you are eating next to them. You should stand up and serve.

Li Longji didn't care about the many dishes, but his favorite dishes were still hot. It was not easy.

"Where are your followers? Call them in and prepare your own meals." Li Chengqi noticed that the two followers did not come in.

"Ah!" Wei Zhigu agreed, ran out, and called in all the people he and Zhang Shuo had brought.

I was just as surprised as my classmates. There were so many dishes and rice, so you could eat whatever you wanted.

"Dongzhu Li." Wei Zhigu asked first before eating.

"Aren't you afraid of being poor when you give this kind of food to the farmers on Zhuangzi?"

Li Yi smiled: "As a proprietor, if I have to rely on defrauding farmers to survive, I might as well jump into Ba Shui."

"But, but... the food is so good." Wei Zhigu was still confused.

"You think it's good because you don't have it. I, Zhuangzi, have raised a lot of livestock and poultry myself. Of course I want to eat them."

Li Yi gave a philosophy that only when there is comparison is there harm.

Zhang said he didn't want to say the same thing again, so he served a small mushroom, which was delicious, and asked: "Where did the mushroom come from?"

"Now is the season for mushrooms. People from other places picked mushrooms and brought them to Zhuangzi to exchange for things. Zhuangzi paid a high price." Li Chengqi said.

He was very proud, I know mushrooms are in season now, what about you two?

Zhang said they really didn’t understand, who would care about which month there are mushrooms.

"I don't know if I'm afraid or not. If you come around more in the future, my brother Yi's knowledge of Zhuangzi will be great." Li Chengqi comforted the two ministers.

The person who was relieved was even more sad.

Does this mean that we are uneducated?

"It will be fine next year. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Many vegetables did not come out this year. I am prepared for next year. In the winter, there are also cucumbers, eggplants, and Chinese cabbage. I call Chinese cabbage Chinese cabbage. These vegetables will appear."

Li Yi said to Li Longji, tell the third brother, don't use your status for a little vegetable, no, my brother has it here.

Li Longji understood and was so moved that he wanted to cry.

Zhang said he was interested: "How to plant in winter?"

"I originally wanted to burn glass, but now that I think about it, I can't do it. It's too easy to make people jealous and it's not good for people's livelihood."

"So I have to use silk, the lighting is not very good, and with the warm wall, the growth cycle will be slower, but it doesn't matter if I plant it in advance."

Li Yi gave a brief introduction.

"Can you tell me?" Wei Zhigu also wanted to give it a try.

"Okay." Li Yi thought for three or four seconds and agreed.

"Brother Yi, no." Li Longji stopped.

"Why...ah, it won't work. I'll try it with the villagers in Zhangjia Village first. Once the test is done, I'll go to other villages."

Li Yigang reacted when he wanted to say why.

Out-of-season vegetables are brought out and ordinary people cannot afford to grow them, so they are all taken away by the rich.

It is better to find cooperation in one village after another, lead the villagers to get rich, and operate according to the cooperation model between enterprises and people in their own world.

Li Longji obviously had different thoughts from Li Yi.

He said: "The business of making big money should be left to yourself, and you should do it in Zhuangzi."

"No, third brother, I still want to lead many people to live a good life." Li Yi shook his head.

"What does it have to do with the people?" When Li Longji heard about the people, his tone changed.

Zhang said and Wei Zhigu nodded together, yes, tell me, can you help the people live a good life?
