The military doctor was stunned, "Using pig's feet to practice? Is this okay?"
"Of course," Zhou Liru said: "My sister-in-law and I both practice with pig's feet. After practice, we can chop them and stew them, so there is no waste. By the way, I have a way to stew pig's feet here.
Do you want it?"
The military doctor hesitated: "Yes?"
Zhou Liru didn't even write anything down, but just read it to him, which made Man Bao look at her several times. When she came out of the military doctor's office, she couldn't help but ask, "Why are you still memorizing the recipe?"
Zhou Liru sighed and said, "What can I do? Every time our housemasters buy pig legs and come back to practice, they all have good ways to deal with them afterwards. Only me, when I say I want to stew pig legs, they all dislike it and start the fire to get water."
I can't rob them of this kind of thing, so I can only find a recipe for them, so that I can contribute my own strength, otherwise I would be embarrassed to buy pork legs with them."
Zhou Liru is their dormitory supervisor, and even the youngest in the entire Imperial Medical Office. The youngest one is several months older than her, and since she is Zhou Man's niece, everyone can't help but take care of her more.
But she has a good temper and gets along well with everyone. In the Imperial Medical Office, they have to practice suturing. Rabbits are hard to find, and each suture requires them to be alive. The little girls don't dare to directly deal with living things, so they always start with them.
Started with pork legs.
It was hard to throw this thing away after practice, and they were reluctant to part with it, so they took it and ate it.
The Imperial Medical Office has a kitchen, but it does not allow students to handle these things privately, so students need to handle these things by themselves.
Man Bao asked, "Who asked for your recipe? It seems a little different from what my sister-in-law usually makes."
"I got it from the shopkeeper," Zhou Liru said, "Sister-in-law, have you forgotten? When you were still at Jishi Hall, your senior brothers learned to sew with you. That's how the pig's feet we ate at that time were made."
Man Bao said in disgust: "It's not as delicious as the one made by my sister-in-law. It's too bland."
The pork leg is bland…
Zhou Liru stopped talking, but she also thought so in her heart. The pig's feet made by her eldest aunt were soy-flavored and particularly delicious.
Zhou Liru suddenly felt hungry, and Man Bao also said quietly: "I'm hungry."
When they were hungry, Governor Duan only gave them cakes and a large pot of mutton soup.
Because they were leaving tomorrow, Governor Duan had gained a lot of trophies, so he generously took two ingots of silver and went to the tribe next door to buy some sheep and kill them. They kept one and distributed the rest to the soldiers.
Everyone celebrated lively for half the night, and then went to rest. They got up early the next morning and packed up the tents. After packing, everyone stood on both sides of the official road to say goodbye.
Governor Duan glanced at the road hidden in the mountains and said, "Take care on your way here."
Bai Shan smiled and thanked Governor Duan. Everyone also wished Governor Duan a smooth journey. Then after the sun rose, they separated and went back to back. One team was going to Liangzhou and the other was going to the Western Regions.
Man Bao looked back while riding on his horse and said to his friends: "I don't know how long it will take for the letter sent back by Master Duan to arrive in the capital."
She wrote a letter to Xiao Yuanzheng. Because it was official business, she handed it over directly to the official post station for delivery. However, most of the post station in Liangzhou was demolished and even the person who delivered the letter was gone. She had to leave it to the governor Duan.
Manbao also included a private message to his family, and Yin or a few others also wrote a letter and included it with him.
Governor Duan was also riding on his horse. He glanced at the packages carried on the backs of the soldiers and shook his head slightly. Sometimes these young men were too smart and capable to look like teenagers, and sometimes they were lively and out-of-the-box like children.
The master rode up from behind and said, "Sir, our people saw with our own eyes that they crossed the mountain safely."
Governor Duan nodded with satisfaction, and the master couldn't help but ask: "Sir, are you just giving them the cat's eye stone in exchange?"
Duan Jishi sighed and said: "Heroes come from young. Mr. Bai is right, that thing is a gem only when it is sold, otherwise it is just a stone. Do you think that with our ability we can find someone more suitable than them?"
Buyer?"
After thinking about it for a while, Master really couldn’t.
There are people whom Governor Duan knows who would spend thousands of gold to buy a horse, but there is absolutely no one who would spend thousands of gold to buy a stone, oh no, a gem.
Thinking of the whole process of being persuaded, Governor Duan couldn't help but sigh again, "Heroes emerge from youth."
The young men were galloping towards the rising sun, and even Yin or you let the horse start trotting, running wildly behind them.
Mr. Zhuang also gave up what he had been thinking about for several days, leaned against the car wall and fell asleep.
The two pedestrians sat in the carriage and counted the spoils they had received. They did not contribute much, but they also participated, and everyone saw their share, so they also shared some.
Not to mention, this amount is more than their annual salary. It will not be a loss if they go out this time. When they return to Beijing and buy some things from the Western Regions, it will not be a loss.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that walking so slowly is nothing.
But this time, their speed was not slow. In just one day, they entered a small county town that didn't even have a city gate. After a short rest, they immediately hit the road again, and then they entered a desert.
Mr. You was walking with them. He was quite familiar with this road and had walked it three times, so he unconsciously acted as their guide.
Because he found a lot of treasures, Governor Duan graciously returned most of Mr. You's goods to him. He didn't need to follow him back to Liangzhou to register. The governor did it for him cheaply.
Although a batch of goods was lost and several workers died, Mr. You still cheered up and continued to Yumen Pass.
Only when he got to Yumen Pass, sold these goods, and bought some popular products from the Central Plains to sell back, could he have money to make a comeback, and only then could he have money to settle down the family of his dead clerk.
This time he didn't dare to leave first, so he followed Zhou Man's motorcade. For this reason, he had to go to Mr. Zhuang to keep company and talk to him basically every day.
This was the first time for Man Bao and the others to see the desert. They didn't realize it at first. There were fewer and fewer plants wherever they walked. When they looked up, they suddenly found that everything they could see was a piece of yellow sand.
Only then did Bao realize that this was no longer a lush green grassland.
So the few people who were still riding horses immediately dismounted and moved into the car. Man Bao turned over the belly of the car to look for something. He quickly found the curtain hat and gave one to Zhou Liru. "Fortunately, we prepared this in advance."
Zhou Liru touched the gauze on it and asked curiously: "Sister-in-law, who prepared this? Why didn't I see it when I was packing my luggage?"
Man Bao said: "It was given by Second Sister Fu. She also gave me two cloaks."
The two of them put on their cloaks and then went out to look at the sand. After looking at it for a long time, they felt it was inconvenient, so they lifted up the veil.
Although it wasn't hard to see clearly, it was hazy and uncomfortable.
Man Bao stared into the distance with his big eyes, "So this is the desert, the sky is really full of yellow sand."
