On the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, there are three days left to celebrate the Little New Year in Chang'an, and four days to go before the Little New Year is celebrated in other places.

Prices in Chang'an City began to rise, and water transportation became busier.

Things that people are reluctant to eat on weekdays have to be bought at the end of the year, such as cutting a piece of pork, buying a chicken...

Those who can afford it make their own malt candies, and those who don’t know how to make them naturally have to buy them.

The children are the happiest this year, and the family has money.

At the coal-shaking field outside the city, a group of people were saying 'Ha! ha! oh! snort! ’

Each of them has one or two tools for making briquettes.

The big ones provided by Li Yi are used by people, and more are slightly thinner bamboo tubes.

The craftsmen discovered the secret. As long as there is a hole in the middle, the coal will burn easily.

Some craftsmen make tools that connect small pieces of bamboo together to form a surface.

Put it directly on the pile of reconciled coals to guess. After a few guesses, pick it up and hit it in the open space. A pile of mini honeycomb briquettes will come out.

There is no need to shake the briquettes, just throw them into the stove.

The disadvantage is that the tools are easy to break, and bamboo ones are far inferior to iron ones.

"Why are there people shaking briquettes over there?" A few days later, Pei Yaoqing wandered here again and asked, pointing to a place.

"There are families in the city who don't want to burn small honeycomb briquettes. A basket of briquettes has cost two to three cents more." The yamen servant knew the situation.

Pei Yaoqing thought for a moment and said, "Maybe other craftsmen can find substitutes and make portable stoves like Lijiazhuangzi's?"

"If you can't make it, you can only use a clay stove to put the briquettes. It's heavy, unless you put it on a car. The price of the stove made by Dr. Li is too high. Rich people are willing to use it."

The yamen servant gave an answer and sighed. Now the yamen servant has begun to think about the people.

When a new thing is made, the most important thing is whether the people can afford it.

"That's okay." Pei Yaoqing couldn't think of a way.

"Ming Mansion, why don't you ask Dongzhu Li." The Yamen servant gave an idea.

Pei Yaoqing shook his head: "If he can do it, he will definitely say it."

"That's not necessarily true. Sometimes Mr. Li can't remember it." The yamen servant always felt that there was no problem that Li Yi couldn't solve.

Li Yi is solving problems at the moment and solving the children's problems.

The children in the village were of various ages, and firecrackers were made.

Each child over eight years old was given a hundred small straw whips, which were very thin and had charcoal strips stuck in bamboo tubes.

When I was playing with my children in Zhuangzi, I didn’t braid the whips and just scattered them, otherwise they would have to be dismantled.

The child who had a small whip took it and put it around, snapping, snapping again.

The younger children were unhappy and wanted to play, but didn't.

This is not something that embarrasses Li Yi. What worries him is why the children are as 'smart' as he was when he was a child.

The little whip pinches a little point at the back with its nails, lights it and throws it out with a wave of hands. Some wait and then throw it, letting the little whip explode in mid-air.

How smart, knowing that long-range strikes and simultaneous air explosions are most lethal.

"Let me change your toys." Li Yi went to the workshop, the firecracker workshop, to adjust the ratio of saltpeter, charcoal and sulfur. Also add grit.

Don't pursue maximum combustion and expansion, just listen to the sound.

Then spread the paste on a large piece of paper, place the reconstituted items at a distance, and finally cover it with another piece of paper.

Cut each piece according to the place where the material is placed, and it becomes a small paper cannon.

Make yellow mud into cylinders with a diameter of more than half an inch and a height of half an inch, and bake them to dry.

Sandwich the piece of paper filled with the medicine between two clay blocks, wrap a layer of paper on the outside, and brush it with paste.

Li Yi picked up a few, went to the workshop outside, and threw them hard on the ground. A piece of mud fell down, 'Pop! ’

"It's done, collect all their little whips, both big children and little ones, throw them away."

Li Yi was very satisfied and no longer needed to make cannons made of other chemical materials.

A group of people went to catch the children and confiscate things.

A group of people helped make the clay, and there was no time to dry it, so it was baked directly.

Not counting labor costs, just materials, one penny can make about ten.

By lunch time, the unhappy child became happy again.

After dinner, I ran out and fell.

After throwing it, pick it up again. Some mud is not broken and can still be used.

If it is broken, peel off the outer paper, put the mud in Zhuangzi's garbage basket, and put the paper in another basket. The garbage must be sorted and the paper can be recycled.

"Brother Yi, Brother Yi, at the football match this morning, many people heard that there was bone soup to drink and rice crackers to eat. The seats were full, and there were still people standing."

Li Chengqi came over to talk about the football match, and there were a lot of people.

"Brother Yi, you don't know. The two strongest teams among the four Chang'an teams play in a match. It's such a big scene, and the audience is shouting..."

Li Chengqi continued to introduce the situation of the competition.

A game lasts more than half an hour, plus halftime and entrance, one hour.

The final score on the court was 25 to 28, which was exciting.

The audience wished they could go off to play in person and help shout for someone to grab the ball or something.

"Many people watched the game and when they left, they discussed going to the store where I advertised." Li Chengqi said what he cared about most.

His purpose in playing football games is to make money and then spend the money on the people.

"Congratulations, brother." Li Yi congratulated him. He didn't go to the game and didn't have time.

He needs to exercise, practice medical skills, copy medical books, give lectures, check accounts, and think about new things.

The most pleasant thing every day is walking around the village, watching the villagers and migrant workers live a better life, which gives me a sense of accomplishment.

Of course, life is also gained.

"Brother, on the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, there will be a competition in the ice rink. You can organize it. I will prepare the prizes for you." Li Yi found it troublesome and asked his eldest brother to take care of it.

"Okay, it's lively." Li Chengqi was addicted.

"Proprietor, Mu Chengxi, who was here a few days ago, is here again with ten cows. The cows this time are good."

Song De ran over, the smile on his face not hidden at all.

"I'll go take a look." Li Chengqi trotted to the main road of Zhuangzi.

A group of people came over.

"Dr. Li, today I am bringing my family and ten cows. I will stay here today and have a look tomorrow morning." The old man said to Li Yi with kindness.

Standing next to him was a woman in her forties, whose first impression was that of dignity.

"Yes, you young man looks pleasing to the eye." The woman said to Li Yi.

Several titles appeared in Li Yi's mind at once, aunt, aunt, aunt, grandma...

Finally it was changed to: "Thank you, Mrs. Mu."

"Okay." The woman said, took out a jade pendant from her sleeve, took Li Yi's hand and put it on it: "Wear it, you are a good kid."

Li Yi wanted to refuse, but found that his hand was being held, so he had no choice but to nod: "Yi will put it away. Mr. Mu and Mrs. Mu will please come inside."

Several people went to the yard arranged for the old man. On the way, they saw a child throwing things there, making crisp sounds.

"What are the dolls playing with?" the old man asked naturally. UU reading www.uukanshu.net

"Throw the cannon and let the children play." Li Yi said and waved, and several children ran over.

"Give me a few." Li Yi stretched out his hand, and the children took it out from their pockets.

"That's enough, that's enough. Go play. Don't throw it where there are poultry and livestock, and don't throw it where there is hay or firewood."

Li Yi warned again, holding a few throwing cannons in his hand and introducing them to others.

One person throws two, which is quite interesting.

"How much does this item cost?" the woman suddenly asked.

"One penny can make ten now, and later, twenty." Li Yi said two prices.

"Did the dolls lose a lot of money?" The woman felt sorry for the money.

"Just like playing and eating snacks, you also need to pay to watch people dance."

Li Yi felt that the person who gave him a piece of jade should not misunderstand anything.

"Is it beneficial to the people?" the old man asked directly.

"Yes!" Li Yi nodded in response.
