【098】Preparation before visiting relatives
In the more than a month after Su Lan's rebirth, he not only used his mental power to temper his body and exercise his abilities, but also practiced boxing to improve his skills.
Now, although Su Lan's skills are not half a star worse than those in her previous life, she is not inferior to a veteran like Chen Yuanchao who has been a soldier for so many years, and she doesn't have to worry about her personal safety at all.
"Of course we're not worried that you can't beat people, we're worried that you've been deceived." Su Jimin said with a dark face, "How chaotic is the world outside? Not to mention anything else, there are a lot of traffickers on the train, what if you encounter them? You've beaten people, but can you beat a group of people? What if someone gets close to you and you are stunned by medication? ”
Su Lan raised her eyebrows and said, "Dad, have you forgotten that what I am best at is medicine?" Are you still worried that people will give me drugs to stun me? You might as well worry about the traffickers being poured out by me and retaliating against them. ”
"Okay, Dad, my eldest brother has been out to serve as a soldier for two years, and he hasn't come back once, you don't want him, Xiaomei and I miss my eldest brother." Su Lan smiled, "We have to go and see if the eldest brother has really been doing well in the past two years, and he is alone outside during the New Year, let's go and see if he can let him know that we are still thinking about him." ”
"And I separated from Yuan Chao just after we got married, I still miss my fiancé very much, can't I go to see him? I also told him when I returned from vacation to aid Korea, and I would go to the army to visit relatives before the Lantern Festival. Su Lan raised his eyebrows.
"You're going alone?" Su Yuanzhi asked at this time.
"Originally, I was going to go by myself, but Xiaomei has such a good relationship with her eldest brother, every time she communicates, she writes to her eldest brother, I think she also misses her eldest brother very much, so I can take her to see my eldest brother together." Su Lan replied, "I was worried about Xiaomei's safety before, Xiaomei has been practicing martial arts with her grandfather and you since she was a child, and her kung fu is not bad, plus now that her strength has increased, there is no need to worry that she can't protect herself." ”
"Really, sister, are you going to take me with you? Can I really go to the army to see Big Brother? Can I take the train? Is it possible to go farther than the county seat? Su Mei was overjoyed when she heard her sister say that she was going to take her to visit her family.
In the past fifteen years, Sumy has not been to the county seat several times except to go to school in the town. The last time I went to the county seat was when I followed Su Lan to the scrap yard in the county seat. Since she came back, she has been staying at home with her sister, and she has never gone out again. Now she is very happy to hear her sister say that she will take her to visit relatives in the army.
"Of course with you, don't you want to be a big brother?" Su Lan smiled and nodded Su Mei's forehead and said, "What's more, you will continue to go to school soon after the beginning of spring, and you won't have time to go out by then." ”
"When we come back from this visit, you don't have time if I have time, if you want to visit your eldest brother again, you have to wait until I get married to your brother-in-law, and you go with me when I am in the army." Su Lan said slowly.
Su Jimin looked at his eldest daughter, still a little reluctant, but Su Yuanzhi agreed.
"Okay, Jimin, it's better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, children will eventually grow up, they can ensure their safety, and we don't need to stop them from going out to see the world." Su Yuanzhi patted his son's shoulder and persuaded.
"If you don't worry, let Xiaobai and Yuan Chao pick them up at the train station, and you will send them when you get on the train, so you won't be so worried." Su Yuanzhi gave his son a support.
Su Jimin thought about it, this is okay, there will be no danger on the train, even if there is any danger, with his daughter's skills, he will not suffer.
Su Jimin agreed, and Su Lan and Su Mei decided to go to the army to visit their relatives on the eighth day of the new year.
It took a day and a half to get from Bin County, the county seat of Su Lan's hometown, to the county seat where Chen Yuanchao's troops were stationed, and they set off at noon on the eighth day of the first month, and they might arrive in the morning of the tenth day of the first month. There are still a few days to go, and today is only the fourth day of the new year, and Su Lan and the others are not in a hurry to leave, so Su Lan's family is preparing things for Chen Yuanchao and Su Bai.
Because she knew that her family already knew her secret, although Su Lan didn't say what her secret was, but she didn't avoid her relatives anymore, after deciding to visit her relatives, Su Lan naturally took out a slaughtered cow on the morning of the fifth day of the new year and let Su Mei deal with it.
"Sister, this cow is so big." Su Mei also knew that her sister had a secret, although she was very curious, but her sister didn't say that she wouldn't ask, anyway, her sister provided her with so many ingredients, she just needed to cook food with her heart and eat food.
"Well, deal with this cow, and then make the meat into jerky or braised meat for the eldest brother and your brother-in-law to bring over, they also need to eat something good for the New Year." Su Lan nodded and said.
"Okay." Su Mei excitedly took the several knives that Su Lan had given her and began to handle the cow.
Su Lan instructed Su Mei on how to deal with the cow, how to kill the cow, and how to dissect the cow.
A cow that is still alive will indeed make people soften when they are killed. But this cow was killed by Su Lan, so Su Mei didn't have any soft-hearted emotions when dealing with it.
Su Mei bled this bison of nearly a thousand catties according to Su Lan's instructions, because this cow Su Lan had just killed it and took it out, so he was not afraid that the blood had already coagulated. After the bloodletting, Su Mei carefully peeled off the cowhide as instructed and handed it to her father to nitrate. Su Mei disembowels the cow again, cleans the beef and then cleans the offal.
After spending a whole morning, after not handling the cattle, there were still five or six hundred catties of beef left, one hundred catties of offal, and the rest were gone. The offal was marinated by Su Mei, and the beef was made into beef jerky by Su Mei. In addition to the cow, Su Lan also killed two pigs, let them go to make pork jerky, stewed and boiled.
It took the Su family two days to make these foods, and it was already the sixth day of the Lunar New Year after they were ready. After making the dried pork floss, Su Lan took out a large number of medicinal materials and asked his father and grandfather to concoct it together.
"I don't know when I'll come back when I went to visit relatives this time, I'm afraid that there won't be enough medicinal materials at home at that time, and you still have to make pills and ointments, and you also need a lot of medicinal materials."
For such a reason, Su Lan asked the whole family to concoct medicinal materials together and deposit them in the Su family's pharmacy.
It took another two days, Su Lan and Su Mei took large and small bags, and with the help of Su Jimin and the eldest brother and second brother of the Chen family, they went to the county seat to catch the train.
The train tickets were two train tickets that Su Lan sent a telegram to Chen Yuanchao and Chen Yuanchao said that when he went to visit relatives on the eighth day of the new year, Chen Yuanchao called an acquaintance to buy them.
Su Lan and her sisters were sent on the train by the eldest brother and second brother of the Chen family and Su Jimin.
