Please ask me to be the emperor

Chapter 28 Steamed Goose Heart

Zhang Shun's threatening words left Qiaoer's father speechless. However, Qiaoer's father was reluctant to let his daughter suffer and was afraid of the rampant thieves. He could only stare angrily and suppress his face until his face turned red.

Fortunately, after only a moment, Chen Jingzhi walked out of Qiaoer's boudoir. This made Qiaoer's father feel extremely pleasantly surprised and felt like he was reborn after a disaster. On the contrary, Chen Jingzhi was dejected, as if he were mourning for his heir, and his face was full of bad luck.

Zhang Shun felt strange and asked: "Is Qiao'er unwilling to go with you, or does he have another sweetheart? Why do you look like this?"

Chen Jingzhi is a kind-hearted person. Even when facing his enemies, he is not cruel enough to kill him, let alone a weak woman like Qiaoer? Zhang Shun felt that Chen Jingzhi would definitely not force himself on her, so it must be Qiaoer who had a problem with his feelings.

Who would have thought that when Chen Jingzhi heard this, he sighed: "I think back then, we were childhood sweethearts, chatting and laughing at the boss's banquet. But I never thought that in just a few years, Qiao'er, who had bright eyes, white teeth, and innocence, was now getting older. Big, ugly face."

"Compared to the age of eleven or twelve, I am indeed much older. Even my chubby little face has become pointed, and my flat figure has become bloated. It is true that time flies by and time flies like an arrow! Before I I heard the saying, 'Before you gave birth to me, I will be old after giving birth to you', I didn't understand its meaning. Only today did I understand the true meaning of this saying."

Zhang Shun was stunned after hearing this, and asked a little uncertainly: "What you mean is not that Qiaoer dislikes you now, but that you dislike Qiaoer now that he has grown up?"

"My lord, that's not what you said. I have been studying the scriptures day and night. When I was in the city, I was studying in my house, and when I was at home, I was studying in the house. Day and night, as long as I thought of Qiao'er, I wouldn't feel the pain. Now, I see myself day and night. When I was worried about Qiaoer, I didn't expect that this was not the Qiaoer I wanted. The Qiaoer I wanted was twelve or thirteen years old, young and cute, with a milky voice. But he was not the charming one he is now. Woman. Who would have thought that she had not seen her for several years and missed her day and night. Now that she has seen her, she feels lost and suddenly feels boring."

After Zhang Shun heard this, he was speechless. What kind of virtue is this man? Even if he stays at home, he will probably be a supporter of "the death penalty is not a loss" in future generations. He can really kill him. If you have a daughter in the future, you must not let this person see it unless the daughter is over eighteen years old.

Abandoning Qiao'er at this time, Chen Jingzhi was a little embarrassed because he bothered everyone to follow him for a wasted trip. Zhang Shun didn't say anything. He just patted him and said, "This may not be a bad thing for Qiao'er and her family. Chen Wei doesn't need to worry about it. In the future, everyone will seek their own blessings and forget each other in the world."

"My lord, just ask me to take care of him." Chen Jinzhi always felt that his lord spoke strangely, and replied a little depressed, "That's true. It would be better for Qiao'er to find a good family in the future than to follow me and wander around. But I still feel like this in my heart. It’s so sad that many years of friendship have been destroyed in one moment, and I feel so sad and lost.”

Haha, Zhang Shun felt that he couldn't sympathize with this guy, so he comforted him with a few random words, and then hurried back with everyone.

When they arrived at Meng County, Zhang Shun was worried about everything, so he went to check on Zhang Sanbai's work on making a spear. Chen Weizhi bothered everyone and felt sorry, so he followed.

This time, Zhang Sanbai, under the guidance of Chen Changzhen, followed the guiding principle of "no more than two gun heads", which greatly increased the speed of manufacturing. So far, more than 200 gun heads have been made, but it is difficult to find suitable gun barrels.

For example, for the sake of gun shafts, some soldiers of the Ming Dynasty specially built a forest of white wax poles, and selected the poles with suitable thickness, length and no insect hole scars to use as gun poles. The southern armies also like to choose suitable bamboo poles as gun poles, and even pay attention to the following: The bamboo and wooden sticks are used as gun shafts. This kind of gun shaft is usually made of a wooden shaft as the core, with bamboo slices on the outside, and then painted with silk thread, leather straps or rattan skin. If the spear head is long and sharp, and the girth of the bamboo and wooden coffins is five minutes long, it is the legendary horse coffin. This shows how difficult it is to find a suitable gun barrel.

Ordinary wood, in addition to its thickness, is often curved and twisted, making it difficult to use as a gun shaft. Zhang Sanbai sent people to search from house to house. It was because Huaiqing Mansion was very popular in martial arts that he directly found some suitable spears in some people's homes. Zhang Shun had no choice but to lower his standards, temporarily make some short guns and use them improvised.

After inspecting the matter, Zhang Shun ran to Director Ma to check on the wounded soldiers. This battle was different from the last raid on Mengjin City. It was a frontal field battle with considerable casualties. According to the custom of this era, everyone agreed that just discarding the wounded soldiers.

However, Zhang Shun read online novels in his previous life and remembered someone saying that abandoning wounded soldiers would hurt morale; secondly, it would not be cost-effective to abandon experienced veterans and train new recruits. Therefore, Zhang ordered the injured to be brought back, and asked Master Ma to be responsible for finding doctors in the city for treatment.

This time Zhang Shun arrived and took a look, and sure enough he saw that most of the soldiers were bandaged very well. Most of them only had minor stab wounds on their arms and chests, which were basically not serious. Originally, Zhang Shun wanted to follow Wu Qi's example, love soldiers as much as his own son, and perform his own deeds of sucking abscesses. However, at this time, medical skills were much more advanced than those in the Warring States Period, and no one's wound had suppuration. This was a pity for Zhang Shun.

After all, the day's work was finished. Zhang Shun invited everyone to have dinner together and report and summarize the day's work. At this time, Zhang Shun saw that Chen Jingzhi was also there, so he went to the kitchen and arranged for him to add another dish.

Not long after, the food was served. Zhang Shun personally brought out a plate of food from the kitchen and gave it to Chen Jingzhi to eat. Chen Jingzhi was surprised and happy when he saw it, and was very grateful.

Zhang Shun smiled and said: "This is a special dish from my hometown. As the saying goes: the shape makes up for the shape, and whatever you eat makes up for it. This goose heart is the best way to make up for the heart. Isn't it sad that you have been emotionally frustrated now? You should make up for it!" "

"I wonder if you have heard that the first day of the month, the first day of the month, the eighth day, and the twenty-third day are the days of the four Buddhist fasts. The first day of the month is the first day of the month, and the first day of the month is the fifteenth day. Today is the sixth month. Fifteen is the fourth fasting day."

"In my hometown, there is this custom. If you are emotionally frustrated after staying at home for a long time, you should cook a dish of steamed goose heart on these four days to make up for the emotional pain. Therefore, the name of this dish is: 'Sizhai Steamed Goose Heart', which is appropriate. It also nourishes the mind for the sutra!"

Chen Jingzhi was surprised and delighted when he heard this and said, "I, Chen Jingzhi, also take this orally?" Then he happily ate it.

Only Chen Jindou was surprised and murmured: "Buddhism prohibits meat, so why do you eat goose hearts on fasting days? Master Ma, do you know that this custom exists in Chenzhou Prefecture?"

"Be careful! Maybe there is, but we don't know why!" Taoist Master Ma replied mysteriously.

Chen Jindou was speechless.

At this moment, someone suddenly made noise outside the door. Zhang Shun frowned and asked someone to go see what the noise was about. Not long after, a panting man was brought in and reported: "General, Zhao Lizi asked me to report to you that there is movement in Huaiqing Guard today. I guess I got the news and are preparing to send troops to Meng County. General, please make preparations early!" "
