Sun Fuling watched him take a breath for three to five seconds, then slowly sat back down, planning to just sit back and watch.
This counts as an agreement.
He Lingchuan worked hard and quickly tied two bamboo bones and glued them with white paper. It was warm in the room, and the white paper from the lake in front dried quickly, making it possible to draw.
Sun Fuling waited to see what else he could do besides write a few words to make the child cry in anger.
He Lingchuan was an amateur when it came to painting, but he had to show off in front of Master Sun, so he took out red and black paints and used the big splash method to color the white paper.
It was just scribbling, filling in color blocks at best. Sun Fuling couldn't bear it anymore: "What are you doing?"
"Draw a fish!" He Lingchuan pointed at the fish-shaped bamboo bone, "Isn't this the color of koi?"
Which colorful koi looks less like Doodle?
"Is it possible to draw a big black fish?" It saves trouble, "it would be too unsophisticated."
Sun Fuling tried her best to keep a straight face: "You, the commander-in-chief, are you so careless during military training?"
He waved his hand: "My soldiers all know that they sweat more during training and bleed less during war. There is no need for me to beat them with bamboo sticks!"
Sun Fuling finally couldn't stand it any longer and burst into laughter.
Of course he would not whip people with bamboo sticks. The Yuheng Army and the Panlong Army were of the same origin, and they both used whips and sticks to entertain lazy people who were sneaking around.
Seeing her show off her face, He Lingchuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that he went to harm another paper kite, and first drew two large circles on the back of the paper, which looked like two tortoise shells, Sun Fuling was convinced: "What are you drawing again?"
"Viper's glasses, I mean eyes." He Lingchuan said seriously, "I plan to draw a krait."
"Okay, okay." Sun Fuling couldn't help but take the pen from his hand, "I'll do it, you go to Huzhi!"
Naturally, He Lingchuan didn't argue with her. He had given away all three of his axes, and he couldn't draw anything anymore.
But when you see the corners of her mouth slightly curling up while painting, you know that Master Sun is in a good mood again.
When he saw Master Sun painting, he subconsciously said: "Are you really not a kindergarten teacher?"
"Lion cub?" Comparing her to a lion cub?
"Nothing, nothing!" He looked at Master Sun's paintings. They had concise lines and bold colors. Well, they were full of childishness. "It's beautiful!"
Just look good and that's it.
The two divided the work and worked together, finishing the work in about an hour and a half, and even made two more paper kites than originally planned.
"Let's keep these two for ourselves." They laughed and laughed, and the previous unhappiness had disappeared.
He Lingchuan noticed that she said "we".
Master Sun heard a growl coming from his belly.
"You haven't had dinner yet?"
"Oh, no." He belatedly touched his belly. As soon as he came back, he worked in vain for Master Sun and didn't bother to look for food.
It’s not a waste of time, you even got a kiss, right?
Sun Fuling didn't know what he was thinking. While scooping water to wash her hands, she said:
"Thank you very much for tonight. Can I treat you to a barbecue? The college just distributed charcoal fuel today, as well as two large pieces of pork and pork enema from the Shanxia Restaurant."
She turned back to the neat and capable Mrs. Sun.
Is there meat to eat? He Lingchuan perked up: "Then what are you waiting for?"
He climbed over the wall back to his kitchen, picked up the charcoal stove in one hand and walked out.
This outdoor charcoal stove was remodeled by him using an original broken tank in the house. The holes in the tank were polished smooth and became the charcoal inlet. The top was then shrunk to become a stove top.
As for the grill, it's very simple, a clean, thin slab of stone.
Sun Fuling grabbed ice cubes from the mountain spring, put them in an iron kettle, and placed them on the hot stone slab.
On the other side of the board, put sweet potatoes and autumn chestnuts.
He Lingchuan took a knife and cut the washed pork into thin slices.
This was all Mrs. Sun's salary. She specially selected plum meat, which was fat and thin, and then applied a layer of Yuheng City's specialty ganli sauce. When she put it on the stone slab, it made a sizzling sound.
Yuheng City was also called Pear City in the past. The pears produced are large and sweet. The locals use them to make various snacks. The most famous one is Ganli Sauce. This half-sweet and half-salty sauce goes best with meat.
Wrap the plum meat and grill it until slightly charred, then put it in your mouth together with the carrot sticks.
Kacha should be crispy and flavourful. The pear juice washes away the fat of the meat, leaving only the mellow flavor.
He Lingchuan also baked some naan pancakes. When the outside of the pancakes was slightly brown, he put the barbecued meat inside and added some pickles sent by the landlord.
Sun Fuling ate meat cakes and drank wine, sighing with satisfaction.
"Your skills are really getting better and better."
He Lingchuan saluted her: "Thank you for the compliment. It's a pity that in terms of this craft, I can't compare to Mr. Shao Jianshao."
Sun Fuling agreed: "His barbecue is truly outstanding."
"Have you tried it?"
"Yes." She took a bite and paused, "In the past, Mr. Shao also took the children from the academy out for picnics. As soon as the meat skewers he grilled came out of the oven, no one ate the ones we grilled. We didn't know who he was.
Where are you going now?"
He Lingchuan subconsciously looked up at the sky.
"By the way, last time you asked the dean about the algorithm of Tianluo Star." Sun Fuling added, "Later I noticed that it lit up for two more nights."
He Lingchuan was startled: "When?"
"One month ago, and seven days ago."
That was the Dragon Punishment Pillar spread by Shao Jian, and it was used by the followers of the gods.
He has always carried out his mission with determination.
Sitting here, He Lingchuan felt like a storm was coming.
He thought of Fang Canran.
After more than a hundred years, the stubbornness and determination of these two people seem to be carved from the same mold.
Everything they accomplish stirs up troubles, and will have a profound impact on the world and even the divine realm.
But tonight, the stars twinkle and the night is picturesque.
Sun Fuling looked at the lights under the mountain and suddenly said: "The lights in the city are more beautiful than the stars in the sky."
He Lingchuan lowered his head. Yuheng City was not as bright as thousands of lights, nor was it as bright as the Milky Way in the sky. But behind every light was a family with a story.
Now, his task is to protect thousands of households.
The two of them sipped wine slowly and were silent for a while.
The snow stopped very early. Sitting next to the warm charcoal stove, I didn't feel cold. The feeling of boundless heaven and earth and the lights under my feet was something I couldn't experience in Panlong City.
"Are there no fights in the academy lately?"
"No." Sun Fuling said with a smile, "Yuheng Academy is also going to have night classes. It's a special class specially for your soldiers."
"Thank you for your hard work." He Lingchuan said sincerely, "The people of Xiluo near Yuheng City are eager to join the army, but there are too few people who are literate. At least they have to understand the instructions and battle reports, and understand the gestures and code words."
The Xiluo Kingdom originally discriminated against the Xiluo people and did not allow them to go to school. When Yuheng City was first captured, not one of the twenty Xiluo people could be found to be literate.
