my brother champion

Chapter 12 Am I Scared?what a joke
It has to be said that Li Ling's archery skills have surpassed most adults under the training of his grandfather Li Guang.

At the start of the game, Huo Guang was far ahead.

"This is the ninth one!" Li Ling looked at Huo Guang, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and the haughty expression was beyond words.

He shot ten arrows in a row, and all the arrows hit the chickens raised in the mansion garden.

a time.

In Old General Cheng's mansion, chickens jumped up and down.

On the other hand, Huo Guang's talent is good, but after all, the practice time is short, not only the hit rate is not as good as Li Ling, but even the speed is much slower than him.

What should I do?
Facing a person who is more talented than you and works harder than you in practice, how can you defeat him?
Of course. Hit him a dick.

Sick is not!

It is said that it is misfortune, then misfortune is misfortune, who is in the mood to compete with these unlucky children in archery.

Huo Guang directly bent his bow and set an arrow, aiming the arrow at the barking dog in the yard, and shot it out, hitting its buttocks.

Immediately.

The barking of the dog became shriller.

On the other hand, Li Ling didn't know why, and even sneered, "Huo Guang, I thought you were so capable. You shot so far, how dare you be so arrogant!"

"I advise you, just admit defeat!"

"Stop wasting my time."

Huo Guang didn't care about Li Ling's ridicule.

Turning his head, he looked at Li Ling.

He just smiled contemptuously, and said, "What nonsense, just keep comparing."

"I really think there is no need to compare." Li Ling proudly picked up the bow and arrow, ready to aim at his tenth target.

Draw, charge, aim, and shoot!
All in one go.

The arrow pierced through the air and shot straight at the poultry in the yard.If there is no accident, this arrow will definitely hit.

however.

There was a clattering sound of metal clashing, and the arrow was thrown into the air by someone.

"Where did the baby come from, to run wild in the old man's mansion, how did the family raise him!" The old man scolded with a fierce look on his face.

Immediately.

The teenagers from the Wei family and the Li family watching the competition on the wall were so scared that they ran away.

"Run, it's Old General Cheng!"

Mrs. Wei recognized the old man holding a knife and flying arrows at a glance, and immediately dragged his two younger brothers to jump off the wall and ran away.

The same is true for the Li family's children on the other side. They jumped off and ran away one after another.

originally.

Huo Guang also wants to run away, because his goal has been achieved.

But after thinking about it.

He climbed up to the top of the wall again, and seeing the old General Cheng leading his men to chase him out, he did the opposite.He not only jumped into the yard openly, but also lifted out two of the chickens that had been shot.

"Such good ingredients should not be wasted."

Although Huo Guang is now living in the General's Mansion, he eats a lot.But to be honest, the "food" of the Western Han Dynasty was really unpalatable to Huo Guang, who had been a man for two generations.

Health is indeed health, after all, there is no such technology and hard work.

But in terms of taste, it really doesn't work.

According to Huo Guang's knowledge, the first delicacy recognized by the people of the Han Dynasty was barbecue, which was their big meal.

But the problem is.

There is no cumin in the barbecue, so it is also called barbecue?
At best, it is to fill the stomach!
Even in rich and powerful families, when it comes to eating barbecue, at most it is dipped in some sauce and vinegar.

this point!

It can be confirmed in "Qu Li", which records the sentence "Every ritual of eating is well-known outside, and the sauce is inside".

What does that mean?

That is to say, food like barbecue needs to be dipped in some vinegar and sauce to be delicious.

Thinking of this, Huo Guang was a little hungry.

After slaughtering and cleaning the chickens, I went to the lotus pond to pick a few clean and complete lotus leaves, and prepared to make two beggar chickens to eat.

As for why you choose the delicacy of Beggar Chicken?
Because it's simple!
You only need to kill the chicken and remove the internal organs, coat the chicken with yellow mud and firewood, put the coated chicken in the fire and simmer until the chicken is cooked, peel off the mud shell, and the chicken feathers will also come off with the mud shell. Then the cooked chicken was exposed.

This is the most primitive method.

However, Huo Guang specially wrapped a layer of lotus leaves in order to taste a fragrance.

Light the fire and grill!
When it is cooked, break open the mud shell, and the taste of the chicken is so fragrant.

But after eating.

But it feels wrong, like something is missing?
"It's salt!" Huo Guang frowned slightly, and sighed: "Chai rice oil salt sauce vinegar tea, if there is no salt, the taste will be quite bad."

Simply.

The remaining beggar chicken was not cracked open, but was "packed" and brought back to the General's Mansion, so that Brother Champion would have a taste of it.

however.

When he returned to the General's Mansion, he couldn't help saying in his heart that he had suffered.

The old general Cheng, who is strict with himself, is at the general's mansion at the moment, catching Mrs. Wei there and loudly reprimanding him for what he committed.

As a great general, Wei Qing could only apologize to Cheng Bushi.

On the other hand, the aunt Shen Youjia, who was standing aside, was a little displeased when she saw her husband bowing his knees like this.

Huo Guang glanced at it from a distance, but dared not enter through the main entrance.

The old general who didn't know Cheng Cheng must have come here because of the poultry that was shot. If he went in with a beggar chicken at this time, he would undoubtedly hit the muzzle of the gun!
So we can only take a detour and enter through the back door.

Since the back door was facing the kitchen, Huo Guang happened to get some sauces in the kitchen when he came in.During the Han Dynasty in this period, there were quite a lot of types of sauces, such as bean paste, meat sauce, mulberry jam, wolfberry sauce and so on.

Although it is not as delicious as the condiments of later generations, it is still edible.

After Huo Guang took the sauce, he was going to find Brother Champion.

But when he passed the hall, he saw that Wei Qing had invited the old general Cheng Bushi to sit down, and immediately ran into a room to hide in a panic.

"It's dangerous, it's dangerous!" Huo Guang patted his chest, he was a little flustered after he had done something bad.

At this moment.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man's voice came from behind.

"What's so dangerous?"

Hearing this sound suddenly, Huo Guang was startled suddenly, unexpectedly there was someone in the room.

prior to.

This room has never been lived in, and no one is allowed to enter.This is an order personally issued by General Wei Qing, and even his three mischievous children dare not disobey.

Didn't think so.

It turned out that a strange man lived here.

Huo Guang turned his head to see the man's face clearly, but he found that a sharp long sword was already on his shoulder.

"Don't move!" The man said in a thick voice, "What did you say to be dangerous just now? Also, I've never seen you before. Which family's little thief dared to run into the General's Mansion?"

"You're a little thief, take the sword away!" Huo Guang stared at the strange man in front of him, with an expression of no fear on his face, and continued: "I should be asking who you are, right?" ? I have lived in the Shogunate for almost a month, why haven't I seen you!"

The man was not afraid of Huo Guang when he saw him. Not only was he not angry, but he seemed a little amused. He immediately said, "You have a sword on your neck, so you're not afraid? Boy, have some courage!"

Huo Guang grunted, and said with a smile: "I'm not even afraid of my elder brother, but I'm afraid of you, a ranger who cheats on food and drink in the general's mansion?"

Ranger?

Ah!
It's just a group of people who don't do business but have money of unknown origin to spend.

They have similar meanings to the Street Liuzi of later generations. Compared with the Street Liuzi, they are nothing more than having a noble family background and a little more kung fu.

In the city of Chang'an in the Western Han Dynasty, there were many knight-errants.

People like Guo Jie, Wan Zhang, and Lou Hu can all be classified as rangers.

The middle-aged man holding the sword was called a ranger by Huo Guang, but he didn't care, as if he acquiesced to this identity.

He just lightly moved the long sword in his hand, and said with a smile: "You are not even afraid of your elder brother? Heh heh, why do you look so honorable! Well, what you mean by obedience, your elder brother should also be a hero in Chang'an City." Character, tell me, who is it?"

Huo Guang was happy when he heard this.

Thinking of reporting the name of my champion brother later, don't you want to scare him?
But on second thought!
I also felt that if I said it directly like this, it would appear very unreasonable.

and so!
Huo Guang pretended to be profound, and said, "My surname is Huo. Tell me, who else is my elder brother in Chang'an City?"

"Surname Huo?" The middle-aged man immediately thought of someone, but narrowed his eyes slightly.

after all!

He had never heard of the man surnamed Huo, who had a brother.

So, the middle-aged man asked with some uncertainty, "You mean Hussar General Huo Qubing, right?"

"Yes!" Seeing that You Xia knew his brother's name, Huo Guang immediately smiled a little, and said sarcastically, "Are you afraid?"

After hearing this, the middle-aged man laughed loudly. Not only did he not look scared at all, he even asked, "Am I afraid? What a joke!"

"In this world, no one can scare me!"

"Do you know who I am?"
