Chapter 33: The General's Promise
Ji Shu and Yu Qian'er were busy for half the night.
First, the herbs are soaked, and then the medicinal soup is boiled.
Two quarters of an hour of soaking herbs, two and a half hours of boiling medicinal soup, one hour of drying, half an hour of lambskin layering, plus three hours of soaking.
This was the first batch of lamb skins to be brewed, so only a hundred sheets were used. Although they had already mastered the production process by heart and had done it more than 100 times by hand, they decided to start conservatively.
As long as there is work in their hands, they will remain silent to ensure that their energy is concentrated, although many movements have long been engraved into the memory of the hands and brains, and gradually become part of the body's instinct.
After finishing the previous steps, and in the last three hours of soaking, the first half of the night had passed quietly, and the two closed the door of the workshop and used the remaining half of the night to return to the bedroom to rest.
Pleasant labor always leads to a pleasant sleep. There were no dreams, no thoughts about Senior Brother and A-Ning, they woke up in the light of day. The timing was just right.
Changing into a neat outfit, the two of them first went to the workshop urn to take out the soaked lamb skin and dry it.
Outside the workshop.
The sound of school drills came one after another, making people feel like a dream.
"Extinguishing Ming, why am I dreaming, come, pinch my arm to see if it really hurts!" Yu Qian'er touched Ji Shu with her elbow.
Ji Shu didn't think about pinching his forearm.
Yu Qian'er screamed in pain.
"Yes, it's true!" Yu Qian'er said with a satisfied face.
"Dude, I've been working all night, can it still be fake?" Ji Shu didn't smile at all, "However, I heard the sound of the camp beating last night, which made people feel a little confused. If you come here, you will be safe. ”
"Would you like to walk around the barracks?" Yu Qian'er instigated.
Of course I do!
Ji Shu said without modesty: "Who can stop us from walking around the barracks with our skills, but you forgot the 'four non-chaos'?" ”
So Yu Qian'er remembered Su Xiaofu.
Anyway, shouldn't the general's personal guards also get up early?
"In my opinion, it's still the excitement you said!" Yu Qian'er didn't take Ji Shu's words to heart at all, "What's the 'four non-chaos' in it, let's do it again?" ”
"You want to be called a snitch?" Ji Shu looked at Yu Qian'er with interest, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I don't want to!" ”
Yu Qian'er immediately jumped up when she saw him laughing: "I'll just say it, you haven't been a fuel-efficient lamp since you were a child, you look thin and well-behaved, but you actually have a bad idea." ”
Yu Qian'er remembered the bits and pieces of how she got along with him, especially when she was attacked again and again and was made up, the past is unbearable to look back on!
"Tell me, what the hell are you up to?" Yu Qian'er complained that she changed her mind halfway, and asked in a shy, "Come and listen!" ”
"Confidant!" Ji Shu squinted his eyes and patted him on the shoulder, "It's good to swagger around the dignified Tieying Cavalry Barracks!" ”
Yu Qian'er was half a head tall to Ji Shu, and at this time Ji Shu patted him on the shoulder to give him the illusion of being looked up, but unfortunately he was shocked by Ji Shu's words before he could enjoy this illusion: "Extinguishing Ming, are you joking?" ”
"yes!" Ji Shu gave him a blank look, "Otherwise?" Don't forget the purpose of our visit, we are here for our father-in-law, and we must not disgrace him! ”
He and Yu Qian'er represent Jijiabao at this time, and their reputation is Jijiabao's reputation and Ji Wei's reputation.
There can be no spread pools.
As for swaggering around the barracks, you must visit it if you have the chance.
But not now.
While talking, Su made a small fuss.
She was followed by two men carrying food boxes.
Ji Shu felt that this meal came a little early. If he was in Jijiabao, he would still be doing morning classes at this hour.
After saying hello, Ji Shu and Yu Qian'er were not in a hurry to eat, but asked people to put the food box on the table in the workshop.
"Master Su, please get some more herbs from yesterday, and you will use a lot of them in the future, and the amount is far from enough." Ji Shu said to Su Xiaofu, "Simply, I gave you all the things you need, so you can prepare well and save yourself from going back and forth." ”
"It's fine." Su Xiaohao replied.
Be concise and to the point, and don't ask or say anything superfluous.
Woe comes from the mouth, and if you say too much, you will lose.
As for the accent, she is not worried, there are many people from different places in the barracks, except for the local area of Jingzhou, which one does not have a little accent of birthplace?
It's not easy to run out, and she doesn't want anything to go wrong.
She's going back to fight with those sisters and brothers, and make them angry. Speaking of annoying, she has a whole set!
Su Xiaohao is a man of action, but he is also a man of action who does what he wants, she looked at the lamb skin hanging in the workshop, and muttered in her heart, these two teenagers are okay, although one is thin and the other is straight, and his face is harmless and simple like a rich man, but it is far from being as embroidered pillow as it seems on the surface.
After taking Ji Shulie's list, she didn't look at it and put it in her arms, then nodded goodbye, and went back to her room to sleep.
Anyway, the general is not there, there is no need for her to mix incense to calm her nerves, she is only responsible for the affairs of Ji Shu and Yu Qian'er, and it seems that there are not many things at present, and she is happy to be idle.
Making masks is a delicate job, and Ji Shu and Yu Qian'er can't be in a hurry. Be sure to do your preparations.
A thousand masks are not much, they are not much, they are not much, and to put it bluntly, they are all in the fineness of the hands. Now, Ji Shu and Yu Qian'er have to face exactly that. Ji Xiao rejected Ye Xiao because of his father Ji Hanbai, not because of the number and difficulty of the masks.
Fortunately, the afterlife is terrifying.
It doesn't matter if it's difficult or not, even if we come, we have patience and enthusiasm, and ...... Skill.
Talking and laughing can determine the confidence of the future.
After the first batch of 100 lambskins is dried, you can start making masks, and while making masks, you can soak the new lambskins at the same time, and the time difference is just right.
However, Ji Shu and Yu Qian'er did not make it. They are waiting.
and other great generals.
On the third day, the general who had been busy for the time being finally returned to the Tieying Cavalry Camp.
He came to the workshop as soon as possible. followed by Su Xiaohao.
Ji Shu and Yu Qian'er stopped the morning class that had been cut by half.
Hundreds of soaked lamb skins were neatly placed on the big table, both soft and light, during this period, Ji Shu and Yu Qian'er had already thinned the dried lamb skins, and the general shape had been determined.
I've seen the Great General - the Great General is not a formal person. Before they could come forward, the general said calmly and majestically, "Excuse me!" ”
He approached the table and reached out to touch the soft skin, which was a thin layer, delicate and smooth to the touch, and slightly darker in color, matching the complexion of a long-time traveler. Pick it up and look at it, even the light shines.
The general secretly praised in his heart: Jijiabao really deserves its name.
I can't help but think highly of these two teenagers.
Su Xiaohao looked at the lambskin that had been reborn in the past few days, and his heart was also full of surprise.
Sure enough, there is a specialization in the art industry!
Interesting!
"I want nothing to be flawless!" The general opened his mouth, and his eyes were like eagle falcons, and he looked at Ji Shu and Yu Qian'er fixedly.
There is no doubt in the tone.
The implication: I don't want the process, just the result.
The general was twenty-seven or eighteen years old, slightly darker-complexion, and quite tall. There is a scar on the top of the left eyebrow, because it is very close to the eye, it is difficult for people to ignore it.
So much so that the scar style covered his tall and straight nose.
The general's eyes were deep, and when he looked at people, he was majestic, and his lips pursed lightly looked very decisive.
"Is this really the Third Prince? Is he a royal or a military man? Ji Shu thought.
Yu Qian'er's eyes were full of eagerness: "Ah, this is the general?" Terrible! When he was looked at by the general, his blood was hot. ”
"I want nothing to be flawless!" The general's words echoed in the minds of Ji Shu and Yu Qian'er, like a hammer sounding, arousing the stubbornness and courage of Ji Shu's whole body, as well as the arrogance of the Ji family.
Ji Shugong replied: "'Fame is not in vain, but reputation is not self-sufficient. 'The disciples of the Ji family are at home and in the country, and they dare not slack off at all, the general can rest assured! ”
"That's good!" The general looked at Ji Shu, "Sure enough, the young man is ambitious, you are Ji Shu?" ”
Ji Shu: "Yes! ”
The general looked at Yu Qian'er again and pondered for a moment: "Needless to say, you are Li Wenjun." - If he wants to enlist in the army and serve the country, come to General Ben! ”
Yu Qian'er's eyes lit up with excitement, can she really follow the general into battle to kill the enemy?
Just thinking about it makes my heart flutter.
He was only in charge of the surging side, but Ji Shu said to the general: "General, there is something I want to ask for your consent. ”
The general said that he would listen to him.
"We want to see the thousand iron knights. Also, General, you also see that we are ready to make a mask, I would like to ask you, General, what kind of mask do you want? ”
Su Xiaohao was surprised when she heard this, she automatically ignored the second half of Ji Shu's words, and thought with a smile in her heart: I want to see Tie Ying ride, I am not afraid to wow!
Tie Yingqi is a specially trained soldier directly under the general, an elite of a group of elites, and an iron fist of Shangyuan. This army of 3,000 men, with unpredictable strength and mysterious faces, has independent dress and passwords.
Who wants to see it?
However, the general was satisfied with Ji Shu's words.
That's right, that's what he's waiting for.
The general nodded: "I want them to wear masks, and they are Huqiang." ”
Ji Shu: "Yes! Checkmate! ”
Just as he had guessed.
"As for you wanting to see Tie Yingqi, General Ben agreed!"
