Chapter 34 Departure
That night, Li Zheng instructed Gu Chengze to build an oven. At night, he took out a whole pig from the space, cut it into strips and marinated it.
The next day, Li Zheng asked Gu Chengze to go out and buy more meat, preferably a whole head.
Seeing that he brought back half a pig's leg and some fish and shrimp, I asked him to chop the pork into paste.
She took the pork strips marinated last night and put them in the oven to roast. Looking at the large pot of meat, it seemed that there was enough time to roast it.
I went to the kitchen to wash vegetables, make fish balls and string them together to make the skewers I would sell this afternoon.
"Bang, bang, bang..." Hey, holding a kitchen knife is more tiring than holding a sword. Looking at the pork that is still half done, time seems to be going by more slowly. I don't know what this meat is used for.
"Hey, I don't know what to cook at A Zheng's house next door. I'm already hungry."
"Hey? This store is open in the afternoon? I don't know what smells so good." I looked at the small blackboard that said the store is open in the afternoon.
People outside couldn't see anything because there was a wall in the yard, and they had no idea what was going on.
At this time, Li Zheng didn't know that many people were walking back and forth outside the house, and she was still peeking inside. But even if she knew, she would not react.
Looking at the first batch of dried meat that has cooled down, I can no longer smell anything special after smelling it for a long time. I took a bite and found that it was indeed fragrant and delicious.
"Here, try it." Seeing that he was tired and lying on the recliner.
"Okay, let's leave it there for now." He looked a little weak and didn't want to move.
Li Zheng stuffed the dried meat directly into his mouth and said, "Come, let me rub it for you. It only took a while to chop it, is it a big deal?" She directly picked up his arm, pressed a few acupoints, and started rubbing it.
Seeing her take action, he sat up in shock. Since she had already taken action, it was difficult to refuse. He chewed the dried meat in his mouth. It was quite delicious, with a slightly smoky flavor and a good chewiness. He looked up and saw that she was sweating a little, and her hair was stuck to her face. But she had grown up, too. Now that he thought about it, she was completely different from the fire-burning girl before. Her eyes were usually calm, but they were smiling when she was interacting with people. Her mouth was as cold as her personality. His eyes moved down again, and he saw a white neck. Suddenly, he remembered that day... and quickly turned his head.
"What's wrong? It's a bit spicy?"
"Hmm? What?"
"Isn't your face red from the spiciness?"
"Uh, no, it's a little hot."
"Oh. What would you like to eat for lunch?"
"Anything is fine."
"Okay." It's okay to say it even if you hate it the most! Humph! Man. Don't think she didn't know he was looking at her just now. She didn't expect this man to be so innocent. She didn't reveal anything and still blushed.
She made some quick lunch, quickly mixing the minced pork with sugar, salt, soy sauce, ginger and scallion sauce, and some pepper to make some pork jerky. She didn't have any honey, and since she didn't like sesame seeds, she omitted them. It tasted pretty good, though. She didn't make the skewers she was going to sell that afternoon, and instead had Gu Chengze do it; it just needed to be cooked, which wasn't a big deal.
…
"Brother Bao, I will go to your house after class. Today I asked my mother for money on purpose." Thinking about how delicious the tofu and shrimp I ate yesterday were.
"OK."
"I'm going too, I'm going too."
"Yes, Bao Ge'er also bought some yesterday. They are so delicious!"
"Yes, yes, I like eating radish. It doesn't taste like radish at all."
"I like fish balls. They don't have any fishy smell."
"I like……"
The students began to discuss what they wanted to buy.
"Brother Bao, it seems there must be a lot of people here today."
"It's okay, we're the only ones there anyway." Ah, with so many people, we can definitely make a lot of money. Hehe.
As soon as the students saw their parents coming after school, they would run over and say, "Mom, I want to eat skewers."
"Dad, I want to eat too."
"Yes, take us there."
Students with money in their pockets went there directly. It’s better to have money on you. You don’t have to beg for food and you can choose your dishes earlier.
It was some students who came this afternoon, so adults just wanted to try it. Besides, although it is not expensive, it still costs a lot of money to eat a full meal, so the majority of the business is still from students.
Seeing the little ones begging their parents to buy them food, and the older ones buying it themselves when they have money, it seems like this is the same everywhere. Business was still good today, and all the vegetables were sold out. Although business was good, she decided to start selling in the afternoon and only for an hour. After all, she can't open it every day and it would be tiring. And having to prepare the ingredients in the morning is also time-consuming. This way, she won't be tired.
After dinner in the evening, I looked at the ring in my hand, thought for a moment, and decided to knock on the door and go in.
"You can go tomorrow."
"Yeah. What's wrong?" What's the matter with coming here at this time?
"This is for you."
"This is..." Looking at the gray and inconspicuous ring in his hand.
"There are some medicines in here, for treating injuries and detoxifying. The space inside isn't too big, about half the size of your house."
"Such a valuable thing, I..."
"It's okay. It's yours. And it's not going to be of much use to me." She thought about it and still had some complicated feelings about him, but one thing she was sure of was that she didn't want him to die. "Besides, the battlefield is so dangerous, you should keep it for your life. Besides, you probably can't get your sword in there. Even if you do, what if someone takes a fancy to it? Just use this to hold the sword."
…
After Li Zheng left, he looked at the ring in his hand. He touched the blood to it and saw it disappear instantly. He closed his eyes and saw a gray, empty space where some elixirs had been placed. He opened his eyes and tried to take the knife in. Shocked to see it gone, he put it back out. This night was destined to be a sleepless one. Although he knew she had abilities, he had never imagined that the hidden secrets described in the storybooks were real, and that they were even given to him. Did she know what would happen to her if others knew? It seemed that he needed to rise to power sooner rather than later, so that he could protect them.
The next morning, Li Zheng packed up the dried meat and pork jerky and gave him two jars of mushroom sauce and shrimp paste.
"Brother, do you really want to go?" If that happened, I wouldn't be able to see my brother for a long time.
"Well, but I will come back when I have time. Besides, this place is not far from the army. You can come to see me if you miss me." Well, although the military discipline is strict, those who live close to home will also be given the opportunity to go home. The time is also very short, but it is much better than those who are far away from home.
"Here, take this with you!" She picked up a large bag with great effort and put it on the table.
Looking at the pile of things on the table, it wouldn't be too much. But thinking of her good intentions, his eyes softened a little.
"Brother, you really don't want us to send you off?" He also wanted to see what the army looked like.
