Border Cook

What matters is the death or injury of generals.

Fight brothers, fight father and son soldiers.

On the battlefield, the only ones who can truly cooperate tacitly and win the war selflessly are loyal subordinates and blood relatives.

It’s a pity that An Leiting had few descendants. Apart from two useless illegitimate sons, only An Jingzhong, his legitimate son, inherited some of his strengths and was able to follow him in his expeditions.

As for this legitimate son, An Leiting also cultivated him with great care.

It is necessary to pave the way for An Jingzhong and give him enough opportunities to go to the battlefield, and at the same time, to protect him and, as far as possible, use others to prepare enough wedding clothes for An Jingzhong.

Therefore, An Leiting adopted the most common method used by the Wu family - adopting a son.

The adopted son was used by An Jingzhong, but did not compete for power with him. He could be said to be an extremely suitable stepping stone.

It is also the most convenient way to preserve the family's glory.

An Yunji is one of his adopted sons, but he is the most useful knife.

In any case, this knife needs to play its due role.

An Leiting did not specify these words, but An Jingzhong understood them. After sighing, he said, "I understand, father."

"Ah."

Seeing that he was reluctant but did not refuse, An Leiting said no more and just went to see the situation on the training ground.

Many people on the parade ground were amazed at how the soldiers led by Lu Qiyan could annihilate the "enemy" without any damage.

Many people were amazed that Lu Qiyan became a battalion commander just through a review and even won the favor of the wing commander.

Some people envy Lu Qiyan's extraordinary luck. It is really enviable that he can meet a noble person so easily.

However, some people also think that Lu Qiyan is quite skilled and has a lot of experience in deploying troops and battle formations, so it is only natural for him to be promoted.

After all, isn't it the military camp's emphasis on making the best use of one's talents?
Many people also felt that since Lu Qiyan was able to serve as a battalion commander at such a young age, he must have a bright future, so they came to congratulate him in the hope of establishing a good relationship with him.

Lu Qiyan responded politely with a smile on his face.

Appears extremely calm and steady.

The news that Lu Qiyan was promoted from a captain to a battalion commander quickly spread to Jinqiu County and also quickly reached Xia Mingyue's ears.

Xia Mingyue was naturally very happy.

The other people also felt that Lu Qiyan was very promising. While congratulating Xia Mingyue, they were filled with emotion.

Especially Mrs. Lu, who kept slamming her lips, "Qi Yan is really amazing. He has been promoted to battalion commander in just over a year. Sister-in-law, don't think that there is only one level difference between the captain and the battalion commander. There is a huge difference!"

"This captain is still a soldier after all, but this battalion commander is different. This is already an official, and in the future my sister-in-law will become an official's wife, so the status is different."

"I have to tell my sister-in-law first, no matter how high an official Qi Yan becomes, or how high an official's wife my sister-in-law becomes, we still have to run Xia's business, and we can't leave me, your sister-in-law, aside. I'm also shameless enough to stick to my sister-in-law, and I'm going to follow her and enjoy the best of life!"

"Okay, we'll stick together forever and never separate!"

Xia Mingyue agreed with a smile, "It's not difficult to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks. Let's not talk about the future. Let's have a good meal at noon today."

He Shunzi sent over a few live ducks these past two days, so Xia Mingyue thought about making soy sauce duck and teaching Lou Shanzi, Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu at the same time.

Kill the duck, pluck the feathers, and clean it. Cut the duck in half from the center. Put the two halves of the duck into a frying pan and fry them on low heat until the duck skin changes color and tightens. Add soy sauce, white wine, and brown sugar.

After the soup boils, turn to low heat and simmer for about an incense stick of time. During the simmering period, open the lid and turn the duck over every once in a while to ensure that every part of the duck meat is evenly colored and flavored.

When the duck meat is stewed until it can be pierced through with chopsticks, remove the duck meat, let it cool, cut into pieces and serve.

The soy sauce duck is bright reddish brown in color, tender and delicious, with a mellow and rich flavor, fresh and sweet, and endless aftertaste. In spring, the weather is dry, and duck meat has the effect of cooling down and reducing dryness, making it very suitable for eating at this time.

A plate of this sweet and rich soy sauce duck is a perfect enjoyment.

Even Yin Lingyou and Mao Sanli praised the taste of soy sauce duck. When eating it, they wanted to chew all the bones to satisfy their cravings.

Yin Lingyou ate with relish, and kept showing off his contribution, "It is because of my prompt decision that I can now eat such delicious food."

"Master is right." Mao Sanli nodded repeatedly, but the chopsticks in his hand did not stop at all, and he kept putting food into his mouth.

But after a moment, he paused again and said, "It's just that our clinic's sign has been up for two days, but not a single patient has come. Could it be..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard someone outside asking, "Excuse me, is this a clinic?"

"Who said there are no patients coming to visit?" Yin Lingyou rolled his eyes.

Isn’t the patient here?

"Yes, there is a patient, there is a patient!" Mao Sanli was overjoyed, but was reluctant to put down the meal he was eating, so he just held the rice bowl and went out to greet the patient.

"This is the medical clinic." (Chew chew)

"But do you want to see a doctor?" (chewing)

"Please wait a moment. I will ask Master to come out." (Chew chew)

The people who came to see the doctor were not others, but Dai Changnian and Chef Wei.

As he looked at the tall, dark-skinned man in front of him, who was as tall as a mountain and whose mind and eyes were filled with the food in the bowl, he began to murmur in his heart.

This place...

Is it reliable?
But the sturdy man also said that he needed the master to come out and see the patient, which meant that he was just an apprentice. Maybe that was okay?
As long as the doctor is reliable, it should be possible.

Dai Changnian was thinking in his mind, and he bowed to Mao Sanli, "Thank you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Lingyou came out of the house, holding a duck leg in soy sauce in his hand, and was gnawing on it with great pleasure.

Mouth and hands full of oil.

"Do you want to see a doctor?" (chewing)

"Sit here." (Chewing)

Dai Changnian: "..."

Why do I feel that this master doesn't seem very reliable?

But since I'm here, I might as well take a look first.

After all, Chef Wei has visited all the clinics in Jinqiu County for his illness, but there has been no improvement. He is desperate and has to try any possible means to cure his illness.

Dai Changnian bowed again and prepared to sit down.

Yin Lingyou glanced at him and said, "Why are you sitting down? Let him sit. He is the patient."

As he spoke, he pointed to Chef Wei next to him.

Dai Changnian was stunned.

After discussing with Chief Zhou about Chef Wei's loss of taste, he did not clearly inform him of the actual situation. (End of this chapter)
