Chapter Seventy-Six: Everything is Normal
Hearing Ruan Bai's words, Zhang Daniu shook his head almost tremblingly: "No, the villain accompanies the adult." "After last night's chickens and dogs, where did they dare to let Ruan Bai wander outside alone. Without using the Huns, he could have lost himself himself.
It doesn't matter if the adults lose themselves, the little pawns they left behind can't stop Lord Chu's eye knife...... No, you don't need an eye knife, just Lord Chu is usually scary enough. Probably the adults in their family will think that Lord Chu is easy to bully.
So, after Chu Hao came home with the oil bottle Cao, he saw Ruan Bai walking Dada back. Without waiting for Ruan Bai to get off the horse, Chu Hao reached out and hugged Ruan Bai down: "Why did you walk for so long?" Got into something on the way? β
Ruan Bai said without blinking: "Well, the third child is hunting." β
Chu Hao looked at the string of chickens and rabbits that Zhang Daniu was holding in his hand, and there were two snakes in it that were not small.
"The third child has indeed been at home for a long time." He never knew that dogs knew beauty and ugliness. After shaving, you'll just be at home and sneer. This time I went out at night...... It seems that they will be allowed to go out at night in the future.
Zhang Daniu was slightly stunned, and watched his adults not hesitate to shift the responsibility for coming back late to the three dogs. Obviously, Ruan Bai was slow, and the third child waited impatiently to go hunting.
Ruan Baitou was on the side, saw General Cao, and greeted: "The eldest brother is here, wait a while, and try the craftsmanship of the younger brother at noon!" β
General Cao Yan nodded with a smile. He came to talk about the business of medical kits, and the meal was just a stop-by. Well, stewed chicken or something has to be hot, and it's too late to eat it at noon...... No, the medical package is a big deal, how can it be solved in one noon? Must come again in the evening.
Three big dogs have a bit more prey. Unlike General Cao, who eats white rice, Chu Hao and Zhang Daniu cleaned up a dry prey together. Then Zhang Daniu carried a rabbit and two chickens and ran away. He didn't want to eat at the same table with General Cao, the pressure was too much.
Ruan Bai looked at Zhang Da Niu's speed: "Da Niu's running speed can catch up with the elite soldiers, right?" β
Not only the speed of running, but also other aspects! Chu Hao looked at Ruan Bai angrily: "Who is like you to train a post guard like this?" With Da Niu's current skills, there are not many people in the entire barracks. "If it weren't for the late age of martial arts, I'm afraid it would be compared to him...... It's definitely not as good as him!
Ruan Bai laughed twice and lowered his head to deal with the water. The cost of practicing martial arts is not low. If you really want to practice a five-four or three, eating and sleeping well is only the basic of the basics, and you also need the cooperation of various medicinal materials. In addition to the recipe left by Tian Kaifu before leaving, there is also Chu Hao's guidance - these are basically the secrets of the family's cultivation of children. Of course, even if you have these recipes, you have to adjust your workout progress from time to time......
He himself was under Chu Hao's full supervision, and Zhang Daniu and the others were at most picking up a little bit of his leftovers. But even if it is leftovers, the resources obtained by these post guards are much more than those of ordinary soldiers, even compared to some low-level generals.
Zhang Daniu is not unaware of them, and they are working harder and harder to exercise and study. After all, apart from these, they don't know what they have to do to repay this kindness. The present days are almost like a dream for them.
Chu Hao couldn't get angry when he saw him like this, so he leaned over and kissed him before taking all the things in Ruan Bai's hand: "I'll get these." General Cao has something to look for you, a medical kit. β
"Oh." Ruan Bai washed his hands and ran to General Cao.
Their houses are too small to entertain people. General Cao came over and sat in the post house.
General Cao saw Ruan Bai come in with a plate of shortbread: "What? Didn't you say cooking for your eldest brother? β
Ruan Bai put down the shortbread and said with a smile: "Chu Hao said that the eldest brother has something to discuss with the younger brother, and lunch will be handed over to him." β
The craftsmanship of His Royal Highness...... Is it too late for him to return to the camp now?
On the tray, there is only a small plate of shortbread, the size of which is just one bite. General Cao took a piece and put it in his mouth, and when he bit into it, the layers of puff pastry made a crisp cracking sound, and the fragrance of green onions, oil, and sesame seeds was fragrant...... There are also various fragrances that General Cao can't distinguish. The outer layer of puff pastry is thin and crispy, and the inner layer of puff pastry melts almost in your mouth.
General Cao narrowed his eyes when he ate, almost unbelievable that a small shortbread could contain such a rich flavor, and it was so layered, and it was perfectly combined with each other.
Ruan Bai put a few medical bags on the table, and when he looked up and saw General Cao grabbing an empty plate on the plate, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then his face turned red and said, "Big brother likes to eat, and after eating for a while, I will pack a little for my eldest brother." "It's a shame that the host didn't prepare enough food for the guests.
General Cao's old face was silent, and he nodded solemnly: "Hmm." He pointed to a medical bag very seriously, "This is?" β
"I heard Chu Hao say, the eldest brother is here for this." There is nothing to detour with his own brothers, Ruan Bai went straight to the point, "This one is the simplest, it is equipped with gold sore medicine, bandages, and tourniquets; And then there's this, the drug is equipped with a little bit more......"
There were only three kinds of medicine kits that Ruan Bai took out. General Cao listened to Ruan Bai's introductions one by one, which contained many terms that he had never heard of, and could only ask questions from time to time.
When Chu Hao came up with the dishes, Ruan Bai had just opened the third medical bag, a row of golden sharp weapons, and General Cao's temples twitched. Is this a medical kit? Does the medicine kit need to be so brutal?
However, Ruan Bai was clearly hungry. Eat the emperor great. Without waiting to satisfy General Cao's curiosity, he gave up his seat and helped Chu Hao put the dishes on the large tray on the table one by one.
General Cao glanced at it first, and found that the food on the table actually looked very ordinary, and even smelled good. However, this is the son of the world. Comparing his heart to his heart, even when he was the hardest on the march, he never got food by himself. Chu Hao's identity is much more noble than him, just changing a few people, just practicing martial arts will take up most of the time, not to mention that he has to learn a lot of other things, is there still time to learn to cook?
General Cao was uncertain.
If Ruan Bai and Chu Hao usually eat, it doesn't matter who is the first to put down the chopsticks. But now that General Cao is here, Ruan Bai can't do it first, so he can only look at General Cao blankly.
Chu Hao pursed his lips and said, "Lord Cao, please have dinner." β
"Uh-oh." General Cao answered twice, turned his heart sideways, sandwiched a piece of golden fried rabbit meat, and stuffed it into his mouth as soon as his eyes were closed...... The taste turned out to be normal.
The habit developed in the army is that everyone eats quickly. Ruan Bai was the last to finish eating, and he wasn't much slower, but he definitely couldn't eat well at this speed.
Chu Hao wrung the hot towel and wiped Ruan Bai's face: "There is chicken soup stewed in the kitchen, and I am hungry to eat it in the afternoon." β
"Hmm."
The post man cleared the table without squinting.
General Cao looked at the two of them like this, but he couldn't help but look at them twice. He has always known that his sworn brother and this prince can be regarded as sharing weal and woe, and their friendship is extraordinary, and their closeness to Cheng DΓΉ is definitely above him. He didn't believe that Ruan Bai would not know that Chu Hao was the prince of Pingxi.
Well, Ruan Bai doesn't seem to have any concept of status and inferiority, I'm afraid that no matter how noble Chu Hao's identity is, it won't move Ruan Bai. It's just that Chu Hao not only washes his hands and makes soup, but also serves people so habitually, the key is that Ruan Bai has sound limbs, and he is not a child, and he still needs to wipe his face with His Royal Highness, the Prince of Labor? !
Chu Hao and Ruan Bai were used to it, but they didn't feel anything. Besides, the two of them are together, and the people around them will have to get used to it sooner or later.
Brewing a pot of tea again, not mentioning the lunch break or not, Ruan Bai continued to introduce the third set of medical kits: "This third set has not been able to be mass-produced so far. β
General Cao nodded. It's just that he just glanced over, and he knew a rough idea, there are so many things in it, it is estimated that it will not be suitable for a while.
Ruan Bai sighed quietly. His big brother didn't understand what he meant. In these days, almost everything is made by hand, and there are still few craftsmen who can create some fine things. And without a certain amount of training, even if these things are tossed out, no one will use them, and they are just a waste. This third set of things, he didn't plan to do more. It's just that it would be better if General Cao's side could have more resources to improve and replenish it.
"Scissors, gold needles, knives, spirits, anesthetics, ......" His goal is to be able to perform emergency surgeries outside, and the equipment is luxurious.
General Cao understood after listening to the beginning, this thing is very good, but not to mention the configuration of the whole army, even if it is ten people with one like Chu Hao, it is impossible to achieve it.
"How many sets can you make in a month?"
"Three sets, up to five." To do these things, he does not take away the resources of the army. The army now has no additional resources to use for him.
The blacksmith has always been the busiest of the auxiliaries. As far as he knew, after the arrival of the Ministry of Works, the blacksmiths had been making horseshoes and stirrups. In addition, although they are not needed to forge weapons, they have to go through their hands to repair them or something. The big war is imminent, and the blacksmith has already exhausted several times. It's okay in winter, but in summer it's a real skill to beat the iron stove around it.
General Cao made a decision at the moment: "This third type of medical kit, I will need a few sets if I can make a few sets." The other two, you can prepare first, the number I will ...... tonight I'll give it to you tomorrow morning at the latest. β
"Okay!" I haven't even paid back the price, what a good buddy! Righteousness was in his heart, of course, he didn't quote too false a price, but he also left a little room for counteroffer. Based on the stories of poverty in the army, which he had often heard, he doubted that the supplies could be contributed. Fortunately, General Cao is quite on the road.
In the evening, Ruan Bai did not wait for General Cao, only a note with a specific number written on it.
Chu Hao sneered: "Where is General Cao's generosity? Except for those of Cao Jiajun, the rest are paid by us hundreds of households, and it doesn't cost anything to share it. β
Ruan Bai nodded: "Yes, this is reasonable." β
"Don't worry, no one can requisition our second brother's things." Chu Hao assured, "Is the medicinal herb enough?" β
"Oh, I have already asked Liniang to prepare on the West Mountain." As for the equipment or something, maybe he can find his Golden Rabbit buddy?
