Chapter 20 The Emperor and Queen Want to Invest in Shares
Li Yizhuangzi had just eaten in the evening and didn't eat until half past two at noon, so dinner was postponed later.
Today I killed a big fat pig and a sheep.
Li Yi personally used a shovel to make the braised pork in two large pots. He boiled the eggs from the new chickens, peeled them, fried the beans and stewed them with the braised pork.
The sheep continued to drink soup and millet was the staple food.
As soon as everyone had eaten, Li Longji came with his wife.
There was also a large group of guards, who showed their identities blatantly.
Of course, they didn't wear the costumes of the Habayashi Army, nor the costumes of the Senniu Guards.
He looks very strong and is a guard.
"Brother Yi, don't eat yet, your sister-in-law and I are here." Li Longji shouted to Li Yi.
Li Yi quickly put down his chopsticks and saluted: "Hello, sister-in-law."
"You don't have to be so polite. Sanlang and I came over for dinner. He said that your food is good and the kebabs are delicious." Queen Wang was still so lively.
Li Yi turned to the two palace maids and two eunuchs and ordered: "Go and wear strings. You know how to wear them, right? Why are you standing there in a daze? These are my third brother and my sister-in-law."
The four people trembled neatly, not daring to show any extra expression, and lowered their heads to put on the strings.
Li Yi shook his head: "The people from the palace, left behind by General Gao, usually look very smart, but they are probably tired today."
He explained the situation to Li Longji and Queen Wang.
"Yes, uncle, Sanlang and I will stay with you today." Queen Wang said with a smile.
"Okay, no problem. I'll have someone bring you new bedding and pillows."
Li Yi didn't object, because after eating, he couldn't go back to Chang'an at all.
Queen Wang held her hands behind her back and jumped up and down while watching others eat: "What are you eating? Wow, it smells delicious!"
The taste of braised pork is so charming, the little baby's face is so oily that his head is almost buried in the bowl.
"Sister-in-law, this is braised pork and eggs. In fact, it would be better if there are quail eggs. Add oily bean soak, bean soak..." Li Yi introduced.
Before he could finish speaking, Li Longji said: "Brother Yi, please give another explanation, that is... eating plantains that day."
Li Yi nodded to show that he understood, took a deep breath, and spoke in a low voice.
"Pigs have been the most commonly eaten livestock by people since ancient times, and braised pork is specially selected from the fat and thin parts of the pig."
"The fat and muscle here are clearly layered and have a unique marble pattern. We call it streaky three-layer meat."
"Before cooking, it must be cut into one-inch-wide meat strips and burned in a large stove. There is no need to blanch the meat. When the pieces of meat are slowly fried in the pot, the fragrance of the fat will inevitably spread out."
"A natural taste. From the transition from eating hair and drinking blood to farming and burning, people have learned how to eat more delicious meat."
"When the oil in the fat is fried out, it gradually spreads along the wall of the pot, revealing the essence of the ingredients..."
"Frying sugar is a technical job. When the sugar melts and gradually changes color, control of the heat must always be the first priority..."
"If roasting over a high fire can bring visual enjoyment, then slow stewing over a warm fire will definitely give people an olfactory surprise..."
"The moment the oily braised pork is lifted off the pot lid, its fate as a delicacy is already destined..."
"Fat but not greasy, thin but not dry, and fragrant on the lips and teeth are just the most basic characteristics of braised pork. When you chew slowly, you will find that your saliva can't help but secrete. That is the passive feedback of the human body... …”
"The saliva is mixed with fat and flows down the throat. It is smooth and tender with a rich aroma. Take a bite of rice and let the rice grains mix with the finely minced meat. It is wonderful..."
Li Yi cooperated with his third brother. When he turned around, he found that his sister-in-law had snatched someone's chopsticks and had already eaten.
"Sister-in-law, let's eat kebabs later." Li Yi quickly advised him not to eat, because his child was about to cry.
"It's delicious." Queen Wang reluctantly put down her chopsticks and touched the head of the child who had her chopsticks taken away from her. "Uncle, give him another dish."
"Yes, sister-in-law." Li Yi agreed and said to the child, "I'll cut the lamb liver into pieces for you."
The child nodded vigorously, as if he wanted to continue giving the chopsticks to Queen Wang.
It means you eat it, eat it all, and then I will have more good things.
"Is it delicious?" Li Longji also asked.
He found that whenever Brother Yi talked about food and used that tone, he made people want to eat.
Queen Wang nodded her head: "It's delicious, not fishy or smelly."
"Brother Yi, why?" Li Longji knew that pork was not very tasty and had a nasty smell.
"As I said last time, soak it and marinate it with salt to get out the excess water in the meat. Just add a little wine."
Li Yi gave the answer. When the pigs are not chopped, the hormones have a taste.
The technology of pig farming has been around for a long time, but not many people have mastered it.
A plate of sauced lamb liver was cut up and brought over, and the children took it and enjoyed it with their parents.
Li Yi and the three of them found a place alone to grill skewers over charcoal.
Li Yi is the main roaster, while Li Longji and Queen Wang are the roasters.
Li Yi first bakes the dried tofu rolls, which is the fastest. He puts them on the charcoal fire, brushes them with oil, and then takes them out.
Then dip it in the sauce on the plate and eat it. It is impossible to sprinkle the seasoning when baking. It is too expensive and I can't bear to part with it.
"Brother Yi, you have to give me your methane pit and lamp. I want them too." Li Longji demanded.
There are two copper pipes spraying fire next to it. It is so bright, much brighter than a candle.
"Brother, no cement was burned there?" Li Yi wondered.
"I can't wait. Give me cement and I'll build a biogas digester." Li Longji couldn't wait.
"Sure!" Li Yi responded.
His kiln is not very efficient at burning cement. It is not a rotary kiln, but it can also burn cement.
"Uncle, is this candy?" Queen Wang seemed to have discovered some mysterious situation.
Li Yi looked over and saw that the granulated sugar had not been further purified and crystallized, so it was not yet rock sugar.
He plans to wait until winter to make candied haws and sell them.
This method will not be spread and will have little impact on social development. What is the difference between eating brown sugar and eating rock sugar?
Whatever you can’t afford, you can’t afford to eat.
Li Longji also saw it. He took a little bit with his chopsticks and sipped his mouth. It was sweet, it was sugar.
But why is that?
Without Li Longji asking again, Li Yi said directly: "I simmered the charcoal, and then used the charcoal to filter the brown sugar water. It is similar to the method of boiling salt with mud."
Li Yi mentioned boiling salt, boiling sea water at the beach to make salt, and filtering it with mud, so that the salt would be better.
Li Longji and his wife instantly realized that it was like this, so simple.
Queen Wang pinched some sugar with her hands and suddenly laughed while looking at it.
"Uncle, you can make money." Queen Wang told the truth.
"Earn money in winter." Li Yi admitted.
"Take me with you, my family doesn't have much money. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net" Queen Wang said pitifully.
Li Yi: "..."
He looked at Third Brother, "What do you mean?"
Li Longji's eyes lit up. He really didn't have a lot of money, and his own share wasn't much.
The emperor had a small treasury with different names in each dynasty.
Nowadays, it is naturally called internal money, or internal treasure, because there is left treasure and right treasure.
"Brother Yi, you can't leave me behind when doing business." Li Longji said like a rogue.
Li Yi blinked and handed over a bunch of lamb kidneys: "Okay, when I make money, I'll give you a share."
"I'll give you money to join." Li Longji said.
Queen Wang nodded vigorously in agreement.
"No, third brother, please help me settle the official matters, and leave the rest to me. We'll split it 50-50. Oh, and eldest brother, this..."
Li Yi thought about it, there are six brothers, how to divide them?
"Let's divide it between three and seven, and give seven to you. You divide it yourself. What do you think, third brother?" Li Yi spent a lot of money.
The royal relatives have already shown their abilities.
If you ask for tribute, you will get tribute. If you ask for craftsmen, there will be craftsmen. If you ask for veterans, they will come.
Even Gao Lishi was affected, which shows that his ability is not trivial.
Thirty-seven cents, of course, is the net profit, not the gross profit.
Take 30% for yourself and give the other 70% to your awesome brothers.
"Okay, brother Yi, don't worry. If anything goes wrong in official matters, it's because I'm incompetent and I won't be able to see anyone in the future."
Li Longji guarantees the vote.
Queen Wang kept nodding and said: Yes, we promise to take care of the official matters for you.
So confident.
