That day, Han Du stayed in front of Tang He's hospital bed for about two hours.
Tang He woke up from his drowsiness again and saw that Han Du was still there. He was moved and asked Han Du not to worry about him, and insisted on letting Han Du go back.
As a last resort, Han Du had to go back first.
The next day, Han Du was preparing to visit Tang He again, but his fifth uncle came to report that the Duke of Xin State had sent someone. .??.
Han Du thought for a moment, put on his clothes and went to the lobby to meet the visitor.
As soon as he entered the lobby, people from Duke Xinguo's Mansion immediately came forward, bowed and said, "Master Marquis, please come over here."
Han Du was a little helpless towards this man. Even though he had been deprived of his title, people in the Xinguo Palace still used to call him Marquis.
"Is it the father-in-law?" Han Du suddenly became anxious, thinking that something had happened to Tang He.
"No, no, no, it's not the father-in-law, it's the fish that the marquis wants that has been found."
"Found it? So fast." Han Du was slightly startled, sighing at the power of the Duke of Xin State. The fish were very rare, and it was not easy to find them. To catch them, Han Du estimated that it would take at least several fish.
Genius will have news. I didn't expect that I would catch it so quickly.
"Let's go and have a look." Han Du walked out of the door first, got on his horse and trotted towards Duke Xin's mansion.
Han Du went straight to the backyard of Duke Xinguo's Mansion, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Tang Ding and Zhu Ru.
When Tang Ding saw Han Du coming, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "You're just in time, let's see if this is the kind of fish you mentioned?"
Han Du looked into the water tank and immediately recognized the sturgeon. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, that's it."
"Then what to do next? Do you want to use this fish for medicine?" Zhu Zhu was very curious about what Han Du planned to do. Should he use part of the fish for medicine, or prepare the whole fish for medicine?
Han Du smiled and explained: "What kind of medicine should be used? No need for medicine. Didn't I say that what is needed is an ingredient on it. Since it is an ingredient, it is of course used for cooking."
"Cooking?" Zhu Xi asked strangely, "Are you going to use vegetables to treat my husband's illness?"
"Medicine and food come from the same source, so why not use vegetables to treat diseases?" Han Du smiled slightly, "But even with the miraculous effects of this thing, my father-in-law is too old after all, so he may only be able to delay it."
But he didn't expect that these words were like a bolt from the blue in Zhu Zhu's ears. He was stunned on the spot and muttered blankly: "Medicine and food have the same origin? Medicine and food have the same origin."
"It's enough to delay. You'd better hurry up and tell me what to do." Tang Ding didn't care.
Since medicine and food come from the same source, what he cares about is whether this thing is useful to his father.
Han Du nodded, and then directly ordered the servants of Duke Xin's Mansion: "Come here, find some cooks."
Soon, the servants came over with four or five cooks from Duke Xinguo's mansion. They first gave the soup cauldron a gift.
Tang Ding waved his hand directly, turned to the hurried Chao Handu and asked: "What should we do?"
Han Du pointed at a few people and said, "You guys, please catch the fish on the chopping board."
Several people obeyed the order and immediately rolled up their sleeves, and stretched out their six hands into the water. As soon as they touched the fish body, a large ball of water exploded in the water tank, soaking all the clothes on the chests of several people.
The six hands also exerted force at the same time, locking the fish firmly in an instant. Forcibly pressing the fish onto the chopping board, Han Du got closer and looked for the thin black line he saw during the live broadcast.
Pointing with his hand, he said: "Use the knife from here and cut to this position. Remember, you can't cut too much, and you can't cut too little."
Then, Han Du ran to the tail of the fish and said, "Cut it all the way around. Pay attention to the depth. It can't be more or less."
Several cooks were able to go to the Xinguo Duke's mansion, and their craftsmanship was of course excellent, and their skills in using knives were also top-notch. They cut as much as Han Du told them to cut, and they cut exactly where Han Du told them to cut.
After the head and tail were cut, Han Du ordered: "You two, hold the head of the fish. You two hold the tail. Especially the two of you holding the tail, remember not to be anxious and be patient."
Slowly pull out the dragon tendon, understand?"
"You guys understand~" Several people nodded and replied.
Then, following Han Du's instructions, the two of them held down the fish's head, and carefully and slowly pulled out the dragon's tendon bit by bit. When the dragon's tendon was completely pulled out, someone was already holding a large porcelain plate underneath.
, catch the dragon tendon.
"Is this what you are talking about?" Zhu Zhu looked at it, which was crystal clear and as white as jade, and was thicker than a human thumb. Just by looking at it, one could tell that it was extraordinary.
Han Du nodded with a smile and said: "This fish is only a few dozen kilograms, not very big. Therefore, this means that its dragon tendons are not very big. If you can catch a fish weighing four to five hundred kilograms,
That dragon tendon is probably about an inch in size."
"What do you call this thing? Dragon tendon?" Zhu Zhu's expression suddenly changed and he looked at Han Du with wide eyes.
Perhaps because his father is a real dragon, he was also
The reason why he is called Longzi is that when Han Du mentions Longjin, he always feels a numb and itchy feeling on his back.
"This kind of fish is called sturgeon, and these things are actually the tendons on its back, which are of course called dragon tendons." Han Du said matter-of-factly.
Zhu Ji glanced at Han Du for a few times, shook his head and sighed: "Let's call it sturgeon tendon. Of course, if you dare to say that this thing is dragon tendon in front of your father, then just pretend that I didn't say that."
.”
I think Han Du immediately realized. If Lao Zhu knew that this thing was called dragon tendon, he would probably think that he was up to no good and was cursing him.
"Your Highness reminds me that I remembered it wrong. It is indeed called Sturgeon Fish Tendon." Han Du gave Zhu Ru a grateful look. Fortunately, he reminded him, otherwise if this word reached the old man
Inside Zhu Er, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it and carry it around.
"How should I make this?" Seeing Han Du change his mind, Zhu Zhu felt relieved and noticed the sturgeon tendon that the cook had placed on the porcelain plate.
"It's very simple, just get some pork ribs and stew them. Wash the ribs and stew the sturgeon tendons, then add dried shrimps, scallops and mushrooms to enhance the flavor."
When Tang Ding heard this, he immediately said to the cooks: "Did you hear that? Hurry up and do it."
"Yes, Lord Marquis." Several cooks quickly left with sturgeon tendons in their hands.
Zhu Ji originally wanted to take a look, but he thought of Junzi Yuan's instructions from the chef and had to stop. Then he saw the sturgeon fish left on the table and asked curiously: "Is this fish useless?
"
Han Du hadn't spoken yet. As soon as Tang Ding heard that the fish was useless and that it was not far from the place where his father was recovering from illness, he immediately wanted to move the fish and the chopping board. "Someone, take all these things away."
Move it for us."
"Wait a minute." Before the servant next to him could make any move, Han Du immediately stopped him.
Seeing Tang Ding looking at him doubtfully, Han Du smiled slightly and said: "This fish is pretty good. If you don't want it, then take it back to me."
Hearing what Han Du said, Tang Ding naturally knew that this fish was probably a good thing. But firstly, the cook in Xin Guogong's Mansion had never even seen this fish, so he obviously didn't know how to cook it. Secondly, his father was seriously ill now.
, no matter how rare things are, they are not as important as dad's illness.
"It's just a dead fish. Since you like it, I will send someone to deliver it to your house soon."
Zhu Zhu glanced at the Arowana a few times, then at Han Du, and made his next decision.
Qianqing Palace.
Since seizing the title, Han Du had some complaints in his heart, and Lao Zhu had completely ignored Han Du in the past few days. If it had been in the past, when Han Du had just returned from the sea, Lao Zhu would have called him in front of him for questioning. He was very
I like to hear Han Du talk about all kinds of experiences overseas.
But this time, Lao Zhu tried to summon Han Du into the palace several times but resisted. Instead, he called Zhu Biao to him and told him about Zhu Biao's experiences overseas.
I don’t know what happened today. After Lao Zhu was a little tired from reviewing the memorial, he suddenly spoke while taking a break with ginseng tea. I saw Lao Zhu took a sip of ginseng tea and asked casually: "These days, Japan and South Korea."
What are you doing?"
The old eunuch knew what the emperor was thinking. He just felt a little sorry for Han Du, so he deliberately ignored Han Du. Now when he suddenly heard the emperor ask about Han Du, the old eunuch didn't dare to answer directly, but wanted to ask Han Du again.
After confirming, he asked: "Is the emperor asking Han Du what he has been doing these days?"
Lao Zhu just asked a habitual question, but as soon as he said it, he regretted it. Now when he heard the old eunuch asked in a low voice, Lao Zhu thought about it, anyway, I just wanted to ask what he has been doing these days, and I have no intention of doing anything.
What's the problem with summoning him here? On the contrary, Lao Zhu felt that if he didn't ask about Han Du's current situation, maybe this bastard would cause something else to happen to him.
"What has he been doing these days?"
This time it was confirmed, the old eunuch immediately replied softly: "In response to the emperor's words, Han Du rested for a few days after returning. Then he went to Xinguo Gong's Mansion yesterday."
"He went to see Tang He?" Lao Zhu suddenly raised his head and immediately interrupted the old eunuch.
"Yes, Han Du already knows that Duke Xin is seriously ill." The old eunuch replied calmly.
Lao Zhu sighed, and Tang He was seriously ill. Lao Zhu felt uncomfortable. Tang He was not only Lao Zhu's friend since childhood, but when Lao Zhu joined the rebel army, Tang He was the first to stand firmly with Lao Zhu.
Behind his back, he is the one who supports him to be the one in power.
Those friends and brothers of Lao Zhu had already established themselves in the rebel army, and all of them were either generals or captains. Lao Zhu had just arrived and had no identity. Why did those people have to bow their heads and recognize Lao Zhu as the superior? It was because of the people he had at that time
With the support of Tang He and Xu Da, the two people with the highest status, Tang He contributed the most. At that time, Tang He's status in the rebel army was even higher than that of Xu Da.
Lao Zhu has always recognized this debt of gratitude, or rather the debt between brothers. Even Lao Zhu himself believes that he, Lao Zhu, does owe Tang and Tianda a favor in this matter.
