After seeing his county lieutenant badge, the attitude of the official media immediately changed 180 degrees. He spoke in a harmonious and respectful tone, and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes could bloom.
Li Yi finally understood why scholars in ancient times had to sharpen their heads and immerse themselves in officialdom. What they wanted to achieve their ambitions in life and serve the country were all told to others. Of course, there were also some truly passionate and loyal patriots.
But what most people only value is the unlimited glory and power they hold after becoming an official. After all, even a small eighth-grade county captain, his influence in a district or county cannot be underestimated.
No wonder so many people flock to the imperial examination every year. If they are lucky enough to succeed and find an official position, they will be able to honor their ancestors and reach the pinnacle of life.
If it weren't for the fact that he was used to being lazy in his two lifetimes and didn't want to be bound by the rules and regulations of the officialdom, he wouldn't have much pursuit of these things. He would be called "Sir County Captain" and "Sir County Lieutenant" by so many people for a long time.
I'm afraid I really can't withstand such temptation.
After the official media asked what they should ask, they immediately left knowingly. I am afraid that everything will be done properly tomorrow morning.
Before she came, Xiaohuan had already prepared the charcoal stove. After such a long delay, the fire had already been extinguished, so he hurriedly went to light the fire.
As usual, Liu Ruyi cut the mutton. The knife in her hand flew up and down at an extremely fast speed. Li Yi couldn't see her movements clearly. The cut mutton was as thin as cicada wings, and the knife skills were exquisite, which made him extremely envious.
I and Liu Ruyi washed the vegetables outside, and the fire started to burn brightly. I cooked some in the pot first, and the family gathered around the stove and waited patiently.
Li Yi will teach Xiaohuan a new dish every few days, and most of the time, Liu Ruyi will follow him to learn it. Now it is not like a few months ago, when everything was just porridge and white noodles. Even in normal days,
The food is also very rich, but the most popular one is the hot pot.
This thing has a mysterious charm to both ancient and modern people. Especially in the cold weather, it tastes even more comfortable. When it snows a few days later, it is freezing outside, and the family gathers around the stove.
Eating hot pot next to it is a real enjoyment.
After one meal, Lao Fang became addicted to it. He made a decent mandarin duck pot from the blacksmith in Fucheng, took it home, poured all the meat and vegetable seasonings, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, etc. into it and cooked it.
Halfway through, Zhuzi couldn't help but vomited after taking the first bite.
"Little bastard, how long has it been before you become so naughty?"
Lao Fang frowned and kicked the naughty child on the butt. He picked up his chopsticks and took out a mouthful of bloodied mutton from the pot. He chewed it a few times and vomited it before swallowing it.
Only then did he realize that there might be some secrets in this thing that he hadn't figured out yet. He couldn't help but send his aunt to ask Xiaohuan. Before leaving, she brought back some of Li Yi's homemade hot pot base ingredients. From then on
, Lao Fang never got better from getting angry, and there was always a mutton smell on his body. He followed Li Yi back and forth between Fucheng and the village every day, and Li Yi usually kept a sufficient distance from him.
When eating hot pot today, Liu Ruyi rarely fought against him. Li Yi thought that he had finally listened to the hot pot etiquette he taught her so carefully, and she was very happy in her heart.
When I first came to this world, the biggest problem I faced was how to fill my stomach.
It is not enough to fill your own stomach, you also need to solve the problem of feeding the family.
At that time, all Li Yi expected was to have a few more grains of rice in the gruel he drank every day, and more oil, water and vegetables in the plain noodles, and he would be satisfied.
When I first arrived, I felt an inexplicable rejection and fear of this world. I thought that if I could live my life comfortably without going hungry, I would not waste the chance God gave me to live again.
Although there was a slight problem with the initial setup, I had no choice of location, no age, and the situation at home was not good, but fortunately my gender has not changed. Although there have been many twists and turns in the past few days, everything has gone smoothly.
Later, the food problem at home was solved, and more people had to be solved. Lao Fang, as well as those who had not treated Liu Ruyi sisters badly in these years, the business was getting bigger and bigger, and I knew more and more people, the young prince and the princess.
, even the emperor...
He climbed up to the position of county captain inexplicably, and countless people had to salute respectfully and shout "Sir County Captain" when they saw him.
This is too different from Li Yi's original ideal. You know, he just wanted to make some small money to retire here...
However, ideals will change over time. If he stays in Liuye Village like this for the rest of his life, he will probably die of boredom soon.
If you want to retire, you have to move to another place. After a while, when you have sufficient funds, you need to buy a house in Fucheng first and take Ruyi and the others there. Running back and forth between Fucheng and the village every day is not only troublesome, but also tiring.
Enough.
After dinner, it was still quite a while before dark. Li Yi walked around the yard a few times to eat, and thought about some clever ways to be lazy tomorrow. He sat in the county government office drinking tea all day long.
I didn't run much, and I almost felt bored.
A graceful figure walked past him, bringing a faint fragrance.
Without looking up, Li Yi knew that it was Liu Ruyi who had just finished eating and taken a shower. This was the scent of her favorite perfume.
"follow me."
Miss Liu Er said lightly and walked towards the door.
Li Yi saw that she had gone to the newly built stable to fetch the horse. After being stunned for a moment, a hint of joy immediately appeared on his face.
Is she finally going to teach herself how to ride a horse?
Li Yi had been dealing with this matter for a long time, but in an instant, he came to his senses and hurriedly chased after him.
In this life plus his previous life, he has only ridden a horse twice.
No, it shouldn’t be said to be riding.
The first time was when Lao Fang grabbed me and lay on the horse, and I fainted from the jolt. The second time was when he forced me onto the horse. It was still a bumpy ride. After I got off the horse, I held on to the willow tree by the moat and vomited for a long time...
…
At that time, he secretly swore in his heart that he would definitely learn to ride a horse if he had the opportunity in the future. Not to mention wearing bright clothes and angry horses, and wielding a sword to the end of the world. At least he would not be embarrassed if he encountered such a thing in the future.
The horse Li Xuan gave him was indeed a good horse. It had a wide forehead, big and bright eyes, bright and energetic, big and straight hooves, and no hair on its body. Li Yi saw it in a horse physiognomy book.
However, generally speaking, a horse that grows like this can be regarded as a hero among horses.
Of course, the most intuitive way to tell is that after Liu Ruyi commandeered the horse, she had no intention of returning it to him.
After walking through the stockade, you can see a gentle grassland after walking for a while. When Li Yi walked over, Miss Liu Er was holding the horse and waiting for him there.
