Chapter 13 Flower Picking
The sky is clear, the clouds are not stained, the distant mountains contain daisies, and the wind warms. It was another beautiful day, and Xu Miaoyun came to the kitchen to help as usual.
"Uncle Zhao, what are we going to do for lunch today?"
"The general said this morning, reward the soldiers, let's have a meal of stewed chicken at noon."
"Huh? Is there chicken to eat? My favorite thing to eat is chicken wings pulled! ”
I heard that there was meat to eat at noon, and Xu Miaoyun, who was not happy without meat, was also very happy. Leave the Nth day of hot pot, barbecue, fried chicken, steak, Korean food, Japanese food skewers, spicy hot grilled cold noodles, think about them~
"Boil the water first, and then follow us to catch the chickens."
"Okay!" Xu Miaoyun diligently added firewood to the stove.
"Uncle Zhao, do you still have chickens in the army? Why didn't I see a chicken coop the other day? ”
"How can there be time in the army to raise chickens? It was the prefect and the people of Beihan City who thanked our Zhenbei Army and specially sent a hundred chickens. Zhao Gang said.
"Oh, then the prefect and the people of this Northern Cold City are good enough."
"Can it be good~ Don't you look at how much our general has solved internal and external troubles since he came to Beihan City!" Xiao Tie said proudly. "Blocking the enemy in front and blocking the horse bandits in the back, by the way, you can also help catch the flower thieves!"
"Flower thief? The flower thief is still caught by our general? Isn't that a quick catch? Xu Miaoyun is very interested in this topic.
Zhao Gang explained, "It's just an accident. The year before last, the general went into the city to buy military supplies, stayed overnight, and happened to have a cauliflower thief in the inn, and committed a crime next door to the general, and the general helped catch the thief by the way. ”
"Ah, that's it, the flower thief is miserable enough, I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out, haha" Xu Miaoyun said with a smile.
"But it's not just the cauliflower thief who didn't read the yellow calendar, I think there is also the girl who was picked, who is also unlucky." Another soldier, who was helping in the kitchen, whispered.
"Well, that's right, I've met a pervert, can you not be unlucky?" Xu Miaoyun responded and said. "But, it's not nothing, I met our general!"
The soldier looked at the door, and when he saw that no one was passing by, he whispered, "The unlucky one is to meet our general!" I heard that the girl fell in love with our general at first sight! ”
Yes? Just the ice cube face? Crush? Xu Miaoyun sneered, but if she thought about it carefully, well, Lu Zhan's face, if he was not angry, was indeed very confusing.
"What happened, what happened?" Xu Miaoyun asked gossipingly.
"What's the future, our general left after saving people, but I heard that girl, I followed the general with one mind, and it's been 2 years now, I heard that the girl has never married, waiting for the general~"
"Oh, that's right. That, that's not it, that girl looks like, um... Doesn't it look like our general's favorite? ”
"Who said that! The people in the city have spread that the girl is the beauty of the country and the fragrance of the sky, and the flowers and the moon are beautiful... You don't want to think about it, if you don't look good, can you be targeted by flower thieves! It's just a pity that our general doesn't like her. The soldier smacked his lips and said regretfully, as if he had been rejected.
Xu Miaoyun thought about it and nodded approvingly.
Lu Zhan's wood, even in front of him, a big beauty in the 21st world, has no idea at all, and he always puts on a stinky face with her. I don't know what kind of woman he can find in the future! Maybe it's a man he likes! Aren't there a lot of good men's deeds in ancient times?
"Is that girl really never married? The general didn't give an explanation, this..."
Xu Miaoyun wanted to ask again, but Zhao Gang coughed lightly twice on the side and stopped the topic.
"Ahem! Dare to gossip about the general, you kid is bold! Zhao Gang stepped forward and twisted the soldier's ear.
"Oops, hey, don't dare, don't dare~" The soldier begged for mercy.
"Is the water boiling? Come with me to catch chickens! ”
After that, Zhao Gang asked Xiao Tie to call two soldiers, and several people carried two large buckets of hot water.
Outside the makeshift chicken coop, start preparing to kill the chickens.
Xu Miaoyun was the first to open the curtain of the chicken coop, and the was so big that she almost didn't smoke her.
Seeing this, Zhao Gang on the side smiled and ordered, "Xiao Tie, a few of you go in and catch chickens, I'll kill the chickens, what about Xiao Xu.... You can take the chicken blood here with a basin."
Zhao Gang knew that she was a girl and might not be able to do this kind of work, so he intended to arrange an easy errand for her, as long as she squatted next to her.
"Pick it up, take the chicken blood?" Xu Miaoyun repeated, "That's it, it's you who "stab" on it and cut the neck of the chicken, and then I watched the blood tick down below....."
Xu Miaoyun said as she gestured with her hand on her neck, the little expression seemed to be the chicken waiting to be slaughtered, and she could see that there were a few more wrinkles on Zhao Gang's face.
"Then you'll help pluck the chicken feathers." Zhao Gang rearranged.
"Cheche, dignified man, why don't you even dare to kill chickens?" The soldier who was chatting with Xu Miaoyun just now spoke, then straightened his chest and walked into the chicken coop with the two of them, and in an instant, he came out with a chicken in one hand and handed it to Zhao Gang.
I didn't even have time to scream when I heard the chicken, and I had already returned to the west.
Zhao Gang threw the chicken into the boiling water, and the rest was Xu Miaoyun's life. Xu Miaoyun looked at the barrel and didn't stretch out her hand, Zhao Gang thought she wouldn't, and gave her a demonstration.
"Plucking chicken feathers is simple, just like this, blanch the chicken in boiling water, and then pull it with your hand, and the chicken feathers will come down."
“....”
Xu Miaoyun stared straight at Zhao Gang's steaming white flower's naked body, and suddenly got goosebumps. She loves chicken, but she doesn't eat chicken skin except for her wings. Now it's time to get up close and personal with the goosebumps...
Xu Miaoyun shook her head, turned her head, and saw that Xiao Tie was also carrying a chicken.
"Uncle Zhao, I think I'm going to catch **! I'm good at catching chickens, really, I'm going to catch chickens! As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and swore to the chicken coop.
But she never expected that catching chickens was not as easy as she imagined.
Just now seeing others so relaxed, she took one out after a while, and she thought that these chickens had lost their combat effectiveness. Unexpectedly, as soon as she came in, these chickens seemed to be rejuvenated, dying and struggling from heaven to earth. For a while, chicken feathers and chicken manure were all over the place, and Xu Miaoyun didn't dare to stretch her legs or start, so she could only use her voice to help.
"Hey~Hey~ Hurry up and stop ~"
"This way, this way, I'll fly out in a while."
"Ahh There's chicken manure pulling on me!! ”
In the distance, I just made a round, walked to Lu Zhan and Shen Liangzhi near the chicken coop, and heard the screams of "human and chicken unity" from a long distance.
When I got closer, I saw Xu Miaoyun jumping up and down in the small chicken coop covered in chicken feathers, and the hair of the flying chicken was like a real chicken coop.
In the end, a century-old "man-chicken war" ended with Xu Miaoyun shouting hoarsely.
At noon that day, because she witnessed the tragic situation of the chickens from being caught alive to being killed to being put in the pot, Xu Miaoyun, who was hungry for meat, was stunned and didn't eat a piece of chicken.
And that night, General Lu, who was Xu Miaoyun's roommate, vaguely heard the following in countless tossing and turning:
"Ahh Yes! Don't come here! Chick chick, don't bite me..."
"Don't, don't, it's not me, it's not me!"
"Chicken Hero! Big Brother Chicken! I will never eat your meat again! ”
