Chapter 9 The Knowledge of Poverty and Lowliness Should Never Be Forgotten. The Wife of Chaff Will Not Go to Court.

"Dongzhu Li is also a wonderful person." Gao Lishi looked at Li Yi's movements, smiled and patted Li Yi on the shoulder.

"Tong Miao, General Gao will wait a moment." Li Yi put away the documents and ran back to his house.

When he came back, he had a small jar in his hand, which he handed to Gao Lishi.

He said: "There isn't much left of the spicy meat sauce. I'll keep half of it at home. I'll make it later."

Gao Lishi laughed and took it in his hand, happy.

He had eaten this hot sauce before, but it was a pity that he ran out of it.

"Dongzhu Li is like this. You can't get the high position for nothing. Are you willing to leave a few Xiaos to take care of Zhuangzi?" Gao Lishi said and turned around.

He brought many people, including maids and eunuchs.

"Can I not stay?" Li Yi asked straightforwardly.

"Of course!" Gao Lishi nodded.

"Then let's stay, two men and two men." Li Yi agreed.

He thought Gao Lishi was going to put people in, but when he saw the other party said he didn't need to keep them, that's not the case. Just stay, and take the initiative to let people put them in.

Gao Lishi ordered two eunuchs and maids to come out. The four people who were ordered had complicated expressions.

When Li Yi saw it, he said to Gao Lishi: "General Gao, why not take turns and send four more people every ten days, so as to have a comparison."

Gao Lishi instantly understood that the little proprietor was angry.

The four people who were left didn't want to stay, so the little proprietor meant rotation.

Later, when I know the benefits of staying, I won’t be able to keep it even if I want to, so I have to change it.

What he finds most interesting is that the small proprietor bargains and makes decisions.

"Yes!" Gao Lishi nodded and agreed, there was no other way, the young proprietor was the one that His Majesty liked.

The four people who were left behind still had complicated expressions.

They also figured out that this Li Yi seemed to be giving benefits.

After the matter was done, Gao Lishi and his party left.

Li Yi said to the four people: "The girls are named Taohong and Cuiliu, and the boys are named Qingsong and Brownyan. Write their names on your chest. They will be rotated in the future and they will still have the same four names."

The two palace maids and two young eunuchs nodded in agreement.

The four male servants and four maids in the village, plus the steward, were very nervous.

These are four people from the palace. Have you never seen how cruel the struggle in the palace is? Have you never heard of it?

Can people who can survive in such an environment survive being with me in the future?

"Ada, two, three, four, and plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, please tell them what happened in Zhuangzi. You are not allowed to tell them how to make soy sauce."

Li Yi gave instructions to his people again.

"Yes, proprietor." Eight people responded at the same time.

In a word, it means that the eight people of Zhuangzi himself have more power than the four people who rotated later.

Four people are indispensable. Anyway, it’s only ten days, a ten-day period, and it’s not like we can’t go back.

Then that night we had hot pot, and the people in the village did not bring ten tenants with them.

Elsewhere, the tenants ate a beef tendon alone, the sauced one.

Li Yi's fourteen hotpots are made with mutton and wild vegetables.

Then Li Yi brought the beef offal, tripe, etc. after they were processed, and dipped them in the last bit of chili sauce and garlic sauce.

The staple food is noodles, oh, now they are called soup cakes.

Cut the belt noodles and put them in to cook at the end of the hot pot preparation.

The two palace maids and the two eunuchs were stunned by one meal.

Why is it so delicious? Do you eat this every day on Zhuangzi?

That night, the next four people stayed up all night in a small room, with no extra room.

Waiting for daybreak, the steward took them to clean up the woodshed and a coal house that was no longer coal.

Others drove bullock carts to the city to buy things, silk, and jewelry.

Li Yi decided to make another set of beautiful clothes for himself.

I have the status of paying tribute to the royal family, how can I be shabby?

Cattle also had to be bought, as well as horses.

Bought ducks and geese, and let them stock in the river when the weather is warm.

The money was spent like water.

Li Yi is not worried, because he will sell soy sauce tomorrow, and he will only sell two hundred catties a day, so the price has increased.

How much it goes up depends on the auction price.

It's an auction.

A jar of ten kilograms will be auctioned once, and whoever pays the highest price will get it.

You have to hold it in if you're not satisfied. If you have the ability, can you rob me? I paid tribute to the emperor, and Gao Lishi contacted me.

Li Yi feels that he has reached the peak of his life, and the next step is to continue to work on his life span.

You can't just get yourself knocked upside down.

When the people who go to the city come back at noon, kill a sheep first and eat it in the evening. It is too late to eat now.

The staple food for lunch is egg fried rice, with diced carrots in it, so proud and rich.

Pair it with pickles and drink wild vegetable soup, with soybean oil floating in the soup.

There are forty-two students in a row.

All the people in Zhuangzi, big and small, men and women, are so happy.

There is actually egg fried rice with a lot of oil.

Everyone was moved, and Li Yi was even more moved.

What a great staff, one egg fried rice is enough.

Thinking back then... No, I don't want to, it was all tears.

The maid and eunuch brought the new bedding into the room and were shocked again while eating.

What kind of Zhuangzi is this? The proprietor simply doesn't regard money as money.

It is said that it is the handover of spring and summer, and it is time to replenish the body.

So I bought a lot of sheep, picked out one and killed it, and it is still cooking in the pot.

The four of them are living well in the palace.

I don’t dare to just fry white rice with so much oil and eggs for just one meal.

The students didn't say anything, but after eating, they went back to study.

The students who took turns teaching the children had rulers in their hands, which they did not have before.

Because Li Yi said, the time of drought has come. Dear friends, it is expensive to buy food, so just eat it on the farm.

So the students who had been focusing on teaching and not caring about other things found a thin wooden board as a ruler and wanted to spank the child.

"Eldest brother, third brother, you two are here, just in time, let's have some mutton soup right away."

At night, Li Yi saw his two brothers coming and said hello happily.

"Yidi Zhuangzi's mutton soup must be delicious, don't you think so, Third Brother?" Li Chengqi said to Li Longji with a smile.

Li Longji saw the palace maid and the eunuch, narrowed his eyes and said, "Brother Yi, we have made a tribute for you, you must make delicious food for us."

"Big brother and third brother, just wait and see, I'll make water-fried belly for you." Li Yi agreed and decided to change it to some more chili noodles.

Because the life span has increased again, it seems that it is the result of the help of my two brothers to promote soaking seeds in lime water, accumulating fertilizer and using phosphorus stone.

This is not a one-time increase. The more people use it in the future, the more it will increase.

Five hundred and thirty hours were suddenly added.

The four maidservants knew that the brothers recognized by the two proprietors were powerful, so they went to bring tea and dried fruits.

The two eunuchs and two maids who came from the palace, their hearts were beating so fast at this moment, they always regretted it.

So that’s it? How could this be?

Can you go back to the front again and stop rotating?

Returning to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, how difficult is it to stand out?

Now in a village, there are just a few people, it’s too simple.

Why? Why do Your Majesty and the King of Song call themselves brothers to a young man from Zhuangzi?

The four people felt infinite regret, but tried their best to pretend that they did not know the emperor and Prince Rong.

They understand that if they dare to speak out, not only will they die, but their families will die as well.

Li Yi went into the kitchen and exchanged another pound of chili noodles, the kind that cannot be grown.

Turn one third into chili oil, one third to make spicy salt and pepper, and keep the other third.

He set up a wok and fried mutton with green onions, grilled mutton face, stir-fried haggis, grilled mutton with hands, mixed tofu with spring onions, and fried tripe with water.

There are three big plates, one of which is grilled lamb face, and the others are replaced with fried lamb liver.

Three large plates of each kind were distributed to the people in Zhuangzi.

The others ate together, and Li Yi, Li Longji, and Li Chengqi had a small table alone.

Salt and pepper, chili oil, pepper, sesame paste, soy sauce, and vinegar are all set out.

There were several stir-fried dishes that left the two Li Longji brothers dumbfounded. How were these dishes made?

The two people looked at each other and looked at each other.

That means we have eaten a lot of sheep, why have we never eaten anything like this?

Why is it so fragrant? It makes me appetizing just by smelling it.

Everyone in the imperial kitchen of Shangshi Bureau deserves to die. Look at the dishes you cook. Can they be compared to what is on the table in front of you?

The housekeeper Song De and the eight slaves were used to it. The proprietor prepared delicious food for everyone when he had time, and even gave instructions on how to make it.

But I haven’t eaten this today, it’s mutton.

Last time I ate sheep, I didn’t do it this way. I just stewed it and made it hot pot, although it was quite delicious.

The four people who came from the palace wanted to cry. They felt that they had missed their lives, wasted their years, and lost the whole world.

The proprietor can cook by himself and the food is so delicious? Are you being unreasonable?

The two palace maids looked at each other, which meant to encourage each other to speak out.

For example: Boss, can we not rotate?

But no one said anything. At this time, the emperor would be angry. What qualifications did the maid have to speak?

The most terrifying thing is that if the emperor asks why.

The proprietor said it again, and the emperor promised to think about it.

Ah, I am very happy to come here, but you are not happy? Okay, I'll make you happy.

"This is delicious, Brother Yi." Li Chengqi praised the best part of the belly when it was dipped in soy sauce, sesame sauce and chili oil.

Li Longji looked at the four people coming from the palace and said to Li Yi: "Brother Yi, there is a difference between superiority and inferiority. Let's eat together..."

The steward and four men and four women nearby stopped their chopsticks and prepared to change places. They were right.

Li Yi also put down his chopsticks and said seriously: "Third brother, when I came here, after buying them, they worked hard. They never deceived the master."

"Now that life is getting better, I, Zhuangzi, have recovered. I eat alone, and it's empty."

"It's easy for me to ask them to go out today, but the eldest brother and the third brother are not afraid that I will be rich one day and look down on you?"

"Don't forget the knowledge of poverty and lowliness, and the wife of chaff will not go to court."

After Li Yi finished speaking, there was silence around him.

"Proprietor." Steward Song De left the table and knelt down.

"Proprietor." The other eight people knelt down and touched their heads to the ground.

The chopsticks in Li Longji's hand were trembling, and his heart was pounding.

Li Yi said to the nine people: "Don't listen blindly when guests come in the future. If you hear something, pretend you didn't hear it. Get up and work hard for me, or I'll scold him."

"Yes, proprietor, get up. There are no rules." Song De stood up first and read a book www.uｕｋｎshu． net said eight others.

The eight people wiped away their tears and sat back down again, lowering their heads and saying nothing, but looking up at Li Yi from time to time.

"Brother Yi, third brother has made a mistake." At this time, Li Longji stood up, cupped his fists and saluted in a circle.

"No need, third brother, I'll just tell you." Li Yi stood up, pressed Li Longji's hand, and sat down again.

The people who came from the four palaces no longer wanted to cry, but wanted to die.

What did we miss? It turns out that the proprietor treats other servants as human beings.

"The knowledge of poverty and lowliness should never be forgotten, and the wife of chaff will not go to court." Li Chengqi repeated it, with slightly red eyes.

As he said that, he glanced at his third brother with envy. The third brother's current queen was the wife of Chaoshuang.

And he is a very powerful one. The third brother can win the world today, and his sister-in-law takes at least half of the credit.

Li Yi saw that everyone was in a wrong mood and quickly changed his mind. His voice suddenly became deeper.

"Speaking of mutton, even if everyone doesn't eat it often, they know a thing or two about it, but few people think about it when eating."

“The more precious a delicacy is, the more ordinary it looks on the outside, just because it’s there.”

"When the iron is intertwined with fire, the deliciousness of the meat blooms. Whoever can stir-fry it at the most appropriate time can appreciate its beauty and wonder."

"Just like this fried mutton with green onions, green onions are spicy, but it is precisely because of its spiciness that it can better integrate the fishy smell of the mutton..."

"When the taste of mutton on the tip of the tongue alternates between fat and lean, the instinct to eat gradually sublimates in its simplicity, and people are no longer pursuing just filling their stomachs..."

The surroundings were silent again, and everyone was stunned.

A group of people listened to Li Yi and kept swallowing their saliva.

There is no need to eat or smell, just listen.
