Zhang Zhong thought about how difficult it was for others to be an official and compared it to himself. He was in a good mood and said to Zhang Xiaobao, "Xiao Bao, let's do as Elder Bi said. Where are we going? Do we need to prepare first? "
"Dad, I don't know. I think that guy will send you to the south, not to Henan or Jiangnan. He will continue to the south and send you to a place where you are usually sent to."
Zhang Xiaobao thought about it and felt that the possibility was very high. It would take a few months or half a year to go to that place. It was not like when he and Wang Juan were at that time. The further south they went, the more prosperous it was. Now, most people were not willing to go there. If they did not like someone, they would be sent to that place.
The road was difficult to travel and the climate was not suitable. Otherwise, there would not be so many people who died on the way. They really needed to prepare well.
Zhang Zhong did not expect that his son could say so far. He thought that they would go to Sichuan or Linhai in Henan Province. He was a little scared when he thought of that place.
"Xiao Bao, only people who are sent to that place go to that place, right? That Lv Yanzuo is so capable that he can send me, a county magistrate with achievements, away? "
"Dad, of course Lv Yanzuo is not so capable, but our Zhang family is. Cooperate with him and you can go there, right? It is easy. Dad, you can watch the scenery along the way and eat and sleep well when you reach the place.
It is best to go to the seaside. Although it is a little wet, the scenery is good. You can eat and drink a lot of things that are not here and see a lot of ethnic customs. Dad, you haven't seen what the sea looks like, right? It is blue during the day and dark at night. Dad, don't you want to see the scenery there?
The moon rises from the sea, and we share this moment in the world. Sail a small boat and experience the feeling of riding the wind and waves. Listen to the sound of seabirds and see how they fly in the sea and sky. Okay? "
Xiaobao began to talk about the good places, describing them as if they were in heaven.
"Not good, not good. Who would send you there? What if I fall sick on the way? You can just wait to feel better. Go and see how much the water level has dropped. I'll be back soon."
Zhang Zhong was really attracted by what his son said, but when he thought about it, it didn't seem to be the case. Those who were sent there all looked so sad. Countless officials died on that road.
As he spoke, Zhang Zhong turned around and walked up the embankment. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan followed behind. Zhang Xiaobao was still trying to entice him, "Father, how can it not be good? Others may not understand, but our family is different. When we arrive at a place, we first improve the lives of the local people, and then we build there.
In order to prevent you from not being acclimatized, from tomorrow onwards, Father, you will start to eat things from the sea for dinner. I will change the cooking method for you. When we go there, we will take the boat and go through the river. The river will change to a small river, and the small river will enter the big river. There are also canals and lakes.
I will use various methods to cook, such as stewing, braising, simmering, warming, steaming, roasting, frying, frying, frying, frying, baking, braising, smoking, buckling, soaking, boiling, mixing, pan-frying, roasting, pickling, pickling, pickling, pickling, and so on. When you are familiar with the food, you can eat any dish. If you are not used to it, you can eat less and make it into a plate.
In this way, how can you not be acclimatized? In order to not be seasick, Father, in the future, when you have nothing to do, you can sit in a boat in the water. I will ask someone to make a round boat. You can sit in it, and with the paddles around you, the boat will start to spin. That kind of boat will go up and down as long as it encounters a little wave.
After practicing for half a year, you will not have to worry about seasickness. At that time, we will eat, drink, and play. Our two families will go together to the beautiful place with blue sky and blue water. "
Zhang Zhong listened and was amused. He looked back at his son and said, "You know so many cooking methods? I am not seasick. I don't need to suffer from that. "
"You don't know, but others know. Even if a chef knows a few cooking methods, there are chefs from all over the capital. Find them, and the cooking method will be complete. Why do we have to wait until we get to the place to prepare to adapt? From now on, our two families, including the inner courtyard, must be prepared."
Zhang Xiaobao really did not know so many cooking methods. It was good enough that he could cook something to eat. He was not a chef before.
Zhang Zhong felt that it was reasonable. "In that case, we will do as you say. We have to hurry up with the things here."
*****
"Turn back ~ Go, one two one two, stand still."
After Zhang Zhong's matter was settled, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan became free people again. The construction of the supermarket and the boat were left to other people.
This time, the two of them finally regained their freedom. Every day, they wrote a letter to the old man and explained the things they did not understand in the letter they received yesterday. In the morning, they would wake up to eat, then study. In the afternoon, they would eat and sleep for a while. Then, they would exercise. In the evening, after eating, they would sleep and wake up in the middle of the night to study again.
Their lives became regular. They did not have to worry about Zhuangzi. The farmers raised their own poultry and livestock. Only when they were cooking roasted chicken and smoked chicken, they would come back to Zhang Xiaobao once in a while to ask for seasonings. Zhang Xiaobao did not give this to anyone else. In the future, when he left, he would let a few people in Zhuangzi remember one thing.
Only when the items of a few people were put together could the recipe be made. If someone really stole the recipe, they could only blame themselves for not being strict enough. The other matters of the manor remained unchanged, but they would leave behind a person specifically in charge of management.
Zhang Xiaobao began to learn the things Wang Juan wrote for him. Wang Juan trained the guards in the courtyard, with Huzi as the leader. There were 16 people in total. They wore the same clothes and were diligently training according to Wang Juan's instructions.
It was a hot day. Standing in the courtyard, there was no shelter. The sun directly shone on the 16 people. Their clothes had long been soaked through by sweat. However, if they did not meet the requirements, they could not stop.
There was rock sugar and mung bean soup on the side. After practicing for an hour, they would drink two big bowls. There was no need to worry about heatstroke. Wang Juan, who was shouting commands, and Zhang Xiaobao, who was studying, sat under the shelter. They were eating ice cream and shouting at the same time.
Ever since they got the fans, the two of them developed an eggbeater. After adding milk and cooling, the ice cream would be produced. It was the very pure kind.
"Look ~ to the right ~ in a row. Look ~ forward ~ in a row. That's all for today. It's the first day. The requirements are not strict. Don't stand in a row. Go back and think about it. We'll continue tomorrow. Dismissed."
Wang Juan held a bowl with ice cream in one hand and a spoon in the other. She used her tongue to lick the ice cream into her mouth and lectured with a serious expression.
Zhang Xiaobao shook his head helplessly. It was the first time he saw such an instructor. It would be better if she smeared some mud on her face and made it into a flowery face. Coupled with the action of snorting, which army in the world could command a group of people to walk in a row? Which army in the world could be more strict than the Zhang family's Miao Protection Team?
The 16 people were already exhausted. Finally, the young lady showed mercy and let them go. However, when they heard the young lady's words, they were so scared that they almost fell to the ground.
Wasn't this not strict requirements? One by one, they were either standing or walking. Their backs were already aching and their legs were cramping.
Huzi felt that as the captain, he should help his team members get some benefits, so he said, "Young lady, can we get a big shed tomorrow and practice under the shed? If our faces are exposed to the sun like this, our skin will burst. "
"Oh, you're afraid of the sun? Okay, we'll start tomorrow morning. We'll practice on the paved sand road outside. The wind in the courtyard is small, and it's stuffy. There are so many flowers and plants, and it's humid. It's better to practice on the road outside. That road has been paved with stones, so it's flat and ventilated. "
After listening to Huzi's words, Wang Juan gave him a chance to show that he cared about his team members as the captain. They would change the place starting tomorrow.
The other 15 people looked at Huzi differently. The courtyard was just a little bit sunny. The ground was bluestone, and there was water flowing by. There were also flowers and plants, and there was also the wind blowing from the pond. It was not bad. There was no wind outside, and even if there was, it would be hot.
The sun on the road was already hot enough. When they looked at it in the afternoon, it was like looking at a flame, fluctuating back and forth. How hot was that? Huzi, you're fine. Why didn't you take a shower after disbanding? Why did you say that?
Huzi was dumbfounded. He did not need to look to know how the other 15 people looked at him. He also knew what they were thinking. That was not what he meant.
"Okay, why are you still standing there like idiots? Train hard. When you're done, I'll give you a chance to teach others. There are 40 people in Elm Village waiting for you. I'll train them like I train you. "
Wang Juan did not seem to notice the bitter expressions on their faces as he continued to speak. As soon as he said this, the sixteen of them perked up. Thinking about how they felt during training today, and then thinking about how they would train others in the future, a special smile appeared on their faces.
"None of the military instructors are good people." Zhang Xiaobao, who was waiting to ask a few questions he did not know, saw the expressions of the guards, shook his head, and muttered with a sigh.
"Zhang Xiaobao, you're not allowed to slander such a serious matter. To be able to become a qualified instructor is a kind of honor. Their smile is a smile of honor. In two days, we'll also train with them. Then you'll understand the principle of first bitterness, then sweetness, and first tiredness, then glory."
Wang Juan heard this. Holding the bowl of ice cream, she turned around and said solemnly.
Zhang Xiaobao nodded. "I can feel it. In a few days, let them train in only their underwear and tan. That's a sign of glory. We need to let them get used to the seaside in advance. If they don't get tanned, it will affect the job of protecting the seedlings.
As for us, we don't need to train with them, right? There's no point. We'll just train ourselves. "
The next morning, Hu Zi and the others dragged their bodies, which had not fully recovered, and were really brought to the road outside by Wang Juan. The sixteen of them stood in four rows, and were not allowed to move at all.
