my wife is mulan

Hua Mulan asked suspiciously, "Brother Junsheng, what's the matter?"

Zhao Junsheng walked over and asked the strong man, "Are you going to cut off the sheep's head with just one blow?"

The strong man said nonuo: "Yes, yes, what's the matter?"

Zhao Junsheng reprimanded: "You are still herdsmen who live by grazing! How can you beheaded casually when you kill cattle and sheep? Don't you have any rules or rituals? Cattle and sheep are food bestowed on you by God, you have to be careful. Be grateful, even if you want to kill, you must have rules!"

The brawny man said, "Then...my lord, how do you want to kill him?"

Zhao Junsheng asked the strong man to continue holding the sheep, and instructed him to operate: "Open a small hole in its chest!"

According to Zhao Junsheng's instructions, the strong man took a sharp knife and slashed the sheep's chest lengthwise.

"Okay, reach in and take out the sheep's heart, and pinch the beating blood vessels extending upward!"

The strong man put his hand into the sheep's body and pinched the arteries. There was no heart-piercing cry as imagined. The sheep was unimaginably quiet, its eyes closed slowly, its body became limp, and it collapsed to the ground to die.

"Okay, stab the knife behind the sheep's ear, cut its carotid artery, and cut its esophagus!"

The strong man followed suit, because the heart of the sheep had stopped beating, and the blood from the carotid artery could not splash out.

Next, the brawny man followed Zhao Junsheng's instructions and began to peel the lamb leg first, and inserted his fingers between the sheep's skin and meat. Soon a piece of sheep skin was peeled off, and the sheep skin spread out on the ground to become decomposed lamb. , sheep bones and internal organs, and all subsequent actions are done on the sheepskin, but the sheepskin cannot be broken.

Not a single drop of sheep blood was seen during the whole process!

Zhao Junsheng said: "If there is blood dripping on the grass, it means that your craftsmanship is not good enough. It is unlucky for sheep blood to drip on the grass! The process of killing sheep must follow: no blood is killed, no knife is used for chopping, No meat left on the skin, no sticky hair on the meat, no knife marks on the bone, no smell, clean and undamaged!"

"Hiss—it's really knowledgeable. It turns out that killing sheep is so particular! This uncle seems to be very knowledgeable!" The herdsmen whispered, and they all looked at Zhao Junsheng with a hint of awe in their eyes.

Zhao Junsheng asked again: "How do you plan to eat this mutton?"

The strong man was taking out the viscera of the sheep, and replied as he started, "Of course it is chopped into multiple pieces and boiled in the pot to eat!"

Zhao Junsheng shook his head: "It doesn't taste good when cooked. Of course, you have to eat whole roasted lamb. Later, you first light up the fire and skewer the whole lamb with wooden sticks and wait for me. I will prepare the seasoning." , today I have to let you know how to eat lamb! By the way, leave the lamb whip and lamb kidney for me, these are good things!"

The herdsmen looked at Hua Mulan with weird faces when they heard the words. Hua Mulan blushed and felt her cheeks burning. She turned around and ran away with Zhao Junsheng.

She caught up with Zhao Junsheng and asked, "Brother Junsheng, what condiments do you want to prepare?"

Zhao Junsheng asked: "Ginger, garlic, cumin, pepper, chili powder, salt, oil, is there any?"

"What is chili powder? I've never heard of it! There are salt and oil, aren't ginger, sour, cumin, and pepper all medicinal materials? Can medicinal materials also be used as condiments? There are a lot of pharmacies in the castle! "Hua Mulan asked suspiciously.

"Who said medicinal materials can't be used as condiments?" Zhao Junsheng smiled, followed Hua Mulan to the pharmacy, and quickly prepared all the required condiments, but the quality of the salt was too poor. Yellowish granulated coarse salt that has not been purified and resolved.

Zhao Junsheng had no choice but to grind coarse salt finely and use it in a pottery bowl.

As night fell, the herdsmen piled up sun-dried cow dung, horse dung and sheep dung eggs on the grass outside the fort, and built logs on the dung, and four sheep were roasted on the fire.

Zhao Junsheng immediately brushed the ginger and garlic water on the roast sheep with a brush to remove the fishy smell, and then brushed the sheep fat on the roast sheep. Cumin, pepper and finely ground salt.

"Did you see clearly? According to the method and steps I just made, add seasonings while roasting, and remember to turn the roast lamb, not just one side." Zhao Junsheng asked the three women next to him.

The three women nodded one after another.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you!" After Zhao Junsheng finished speaking, he handed over the condiments to the women.

Zhao Junsheng clapped his hands, went to sit next to Hua Mulan and asked, "How is it? Does it smell good?"

Hua Mulan sniffled and swallowed: "It's so fragrant, it turns out that medicinal materials can really be used as condiments!"

At this time, some young male and female herdsmen gathered around and began to dance around the fire hand in hand, dancing and singing, with happy smiles on their faces, and the old people sitting beside them looked at them with a smile, and sang along with them. .

"Let's go, let's join in the fun!" Hua Mulan got up and said, pulling Zhao Junsheng.

"Okay!" Zhao Junsheng got up and agreed, and joined the ranks of young people with Hua Mulan with a smile.

After dancing and singing for a while, the roasted whole lamb was ready and was chopped into pieces by the women with knives for everyone to eat.

A stack of roasted mutton was placed in front of everyone on a row of long tables. Zhao Junsheng took a bite, nodded and said, "Well, it's not bad. Mulan, try it!"

Hua Mulan cut a piece with a knife and ate it in her mouth, saying repeatedly: "It's delicious, it's delicious! How did you come up with the idea of ​​eating mutton in this way? And use those medicinal materials as condiments?"

Zhao Junsheng said: "It's enough to use your brain more often! Another day when I'm free, I'll meet you to make some delicious food. Keeping it makes you want to swallow your tongue!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you to make me something delicious!" Hua Mulan said vaguely while eating the mutton, with a sweet smile on her face.

Early the next morning, Zhao Junsheng came out of the room yawning and walked into the yard. Hua Mulan was carrying a quiver and holding a bow and was shooting arrows at a straw man 70 meters away, almost every second. For an arrow, she took the arrow from the quiver, set the bow, drew the string, aimed, and the movements and processes in the room were very coherent, like flowing clouds and flowing water. She looked very comfortable, and the hit rate reached more than [-]%.

Zhao Junsheng was dumbfounded, and stood there for a long time without recovering, thinking: "It turns out that Mulan's archery looks so beautiful!"

In fact, Hua Mulan knew that Zhao Junsheng was standing not far away. After she shot the last arrow in her quiver, she turned around and said with a smile, "Brother Junsheng, do you want to try it?"

"Can I? Okay, let me try!" Zhao Junsheng agreed, walking over with a smile on his face.

He took the bow from Hua Mulan's hand, and took an arrow from Hua Mulan's hand, put it on the bow arm and aimed it at the straw man opposite.

"Brother Junsheng, your posture is wrong. It will take a lot of effort to draw the bow like this, and it will be difficult to aim!" Hua Mulan corrected Zhao Junsheng's bow and arrow posture.

After some guidance from Hua Mulan, coupled with Zhao Junsheng's own understanding, he quickly mastered the essentials, but when he wanted to draw the bow, he couldn't draw it completely, even with all his strength. It didn't work either, and in the end, his face turned red.

Hua Mulan blushed and said embarrassedly: "Brother Junsheng, I'm sorry, I forgot that this bow is a three-stone strong bow, with your strength..."

It's as if he was about to mount a gun, but Hua Mulan said that his little brother was too soft, and he couldn't do it!How could this not embarrass Zhao Junsheng, at this moment his face was as embarrassing as if he was constipated.

Chapter 44 A son-in-law and a half son

Although he was not despised by Hua Mulan, Zhao Junsheng was hit hard, and he secretly decided that he must make up his mind to practice martial arts hard after returning home.

A breakfast is very simple, but very delicate, millet porridge, pancakes, and pickles. Zhao Junsheng's body has gradually recovered in the past few days, and his appetite has increased a lot. He drank two bowls of millet porridge and ate one cake.

Outside the door, the Bodings had already prepared the carriage, and Mulanniang had already prepared a change of clothes, money and dry food. Hua Mulan and Zhao Junsheng carried Hua Hu into the carriage together and asked him to sit on the carriage.

Before leaving, Hua Mulan said to Zhao Junsheng: "Brother Junsheng, this is the first time you have come to Huajiabao. Originally, I wanted to keep you for a few more days."

Zhao Junsheng hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's important to treat Uncle Hua's illness. You will come back when you have many opportunities in the future. Don't worry if you leave Uncle Hua and Auntie to me. Take care of the Huajiabao's affairs at ease. Go see them when you have time." Look at uncle and aunt, I will save a room for you!"

Hua Mulan nodded and said, "Well, Grandpa and Grandma will trouble you!"

"Why are you saying these kind words to me? Well, it's getting late, we have to go back to Suiyang City before dark, otherwise we will have to be carried away by mosquitoes if we spend the night outside the city!" Zhao Junsheng held the horsewhip on horseback.

Hua Mulan talked to A Niang for a while, and then Hua Yuan took a maid and got into the carriage reluctantly.In addition, there are maidservants riding horses, one named Xiaoqing and the other named Honglian. Their needlework skills are very good. Zhao Junsheng planned to leave them in the garment shop as tailors, making clothes for custom-made customers, but they wanted To reach his standard, he still needs to teach several acupuncture methods, and only after he is proficient.

Huajiabao is seventy miles away from Suiyang City. Huahu and his wife are sitting in the carriage. Considering Huahu's physical condition, the carriage cannot go too fast, and the entire team cannot move fast. It took a whole day to finish the journey, and finally entered the city before the city gate was closed.

Back at the clothing store, Zhao Junsheng called Feng San and the Huajiabao people out to help. Under his arrangement, everyone cleaned up a few vacant rooms and put clean straw mats on the beds. , smoked spices to repel mosquitoes, and he took the coachman and drove the carriage to Hexingtang Medical Center to invite Zhang Jingxuan, a descendant of Zhang Zhongjing, to the garment shop for Huahu diagnosis.

"Sir, please, this is the place. The one who is sick is my father-in-law, Hua Hu, the owner of the Huajiabao ten miles away. The day before yesterday, he suffered a stroke due to stimulation. He couldn't move his hands and feet, and his speech was also affected. I have to trouble you to fix it." Give my father-in-law a good look, if he can be cured, I will be very grateful!" Zhao Junsheng introduced the situation and invited Zhang Jingxuan and his apprentice carrying the medicine box into the backyard of the shop.
