Hard work

Chapter 198 The Role of Flowers

Ever since talking with Guan Ju, when Lan Hua'er was alone at home, she couldn't help but often took out Zang Lang's body deed to have a look, and then stared at the small piece of paper in a daze.

She herself doesn't know what's so good about this thing, but she just can't help staring at it.She sometimes finds it ironic.Zang Lang is so big and capable, but he is bound by a thin piece of paper.

Moreover, in addition to the body contract, Zang Lang also signed the life and death documents, and he is a person who has surrendered his life.Ordinary people sign a body contract, but they are slaves for the rest of their lives. Of course, even their offspring must become slaves, but even so, at least half of their lives are in their own hands.Even if they belong to the master, it doesn't mean that the master can take their lives for nothing.

Even the master, without any special reason, can't arbitrarily kill the slaves.

Lan Hua'er had read in books before that those masters who killed their servants for no reason would still be sanctioned and punished by law.There are the most serious cases, and even sentenced to exile.

Of course, no matter how outrageous things the master did to his servants, he didn't have to pay with his life.But at least it's not like Zang Lang, who may not even have a straw mat when he dies, and no one will bother.

There is no difference between a person who has signed the life and death document and a dead person.

Lan Hua'er even thought, if she and Chu Jiang had left the mountain one day later, or even half a day later.Even if what happened to Zang Lang, if Chu Jiangkai really wanted to hold someone accountable, it is estimated that others would only regard him as a psychopath.

No one would treat a guy who signed a life and death document as a human being.

Guan Ju said that there are many people like Zang Lang in the capital.Even high officials in some big cities keep some at home for self-defense.Basically die in battle, rarely live long enough to retire.

"Moreover," Guan Ju said faintly, "even when they are old, many of them still die in missions, or at the hands of the master. No master is willing to let the dead who know many of their secrets go out alive. There are too many dirty things about him, if you don't want to reveal them, then kill them all. People like Wu Lang are strange."

Wu Lang—that is, Chu Jiangkai.Zang Lang called him Chu Erlang, and occasionally Wu Lang.Lan Hua'er guessed that "Wu Lang" was probably a title opened by Chu Jiang or something.

Because of this, Lan Hua'er was even more restless.She always felt that Zang Lang's life seemed to be picked up from somewhere, and if he was not careful, he would hand it over again.She herself knew that the idea was funny, but she just couldn't stop thinking about it, and even thought about it so much that she started having nightmares at night.

Once she held Zang Lang's hand, drove Zang Lang up and down, and then asked blankly:

"A wolf, will a group of people come to chase you down one day?"

Zang Lang was baffled by Lan Hua'er, stretched out his hand and scratched his head, "Chasing me?"

"Juju said that people like you don't live long," Lan Hua'er looked at Zang Lang seriously when she said this, as if she could read the answer from Zang Lang's face, "It is said that people like you can't live long." I know a lot of my master's private affairs, as well as dirty things, so I am very cruel to my master. If there is a chance, I will kill him if I think of a way. Hey, by the way, is there anything dirty about Chu Jiangkai? You can tell me quickly. Let me talk about it. If he... um... I will have a way to get revenge."

Zang Lang couldn't get rid of Lan Hua'er's hand, so he could only stand stiffly and let her watch, while looking at her with a puzzled face:
"Erlang is fine. No one will come to kill me."

"...I don't believe it. At first glance, he is a dirty person, and he hasn't done anything dirty yet. Look at the little girl he hooked up with. It's lucky that he can be cruel. " Lan Hua'er curled her lips, expressing her disbelief, regardless of the actual situation, it was actually Honghuabai who suddenly found out that she fell in love with him, so she chased after the capital.However, when Zang Lang said that no one would chase him down, Lan Hua'er was secretly relieved.

But after she thought about it, another thought came to her mind:

"What if it's not the people from Chu Jiangkai who want to kill you? Well, for example, someone Chu Jiangkai offended, or he has some political opponents. If you want to know his dirty things, say Maybe it will find you."

Zang Lang couldn't understand the word "political enemy", but he could probably guess the meaning, after thinking about it, he said:
"It's useless to find me about Erlang's affairs. And no one knows I'm here. The people in the town don't know about Aozi Village."

After he said that, Lan Huaer realized that this was indeed the case.Although she brought Zang Lang home and went to the town with him before, no one in the town knew that Zang Lang and she lived in Aozi Village.She seemed to be really worrying a little bit.

Zang Lang was still standing cautiously, thinking that something was wrong, but he didn't know why Lan Hua'er suddenly brought up this topic:

"Little lady, don't be afraid. Even if someone comes to kill me, I won't let them get close to you..."

"Who told you this." Lan Hua'er didn't think about it at all, but when she heard Zang Lang say this, she couldn't help being stunned for a while, "Yes, if you say that, if someone comes to the door, I am also in danger. What should I do? Do I need to build some traps outside the house first?"

"Little lady..." Zang Lang couldn't help scratching his head again, and said in a muffled voice, "I don't think anyone will come."

Lan Huaer let out an "oh", paused, thought for a while, and felt that since Zang Lang himself said so affirmatively, probably no one would come to the door, so she felt relieved.

Zang Lang was afraid that Lan Hua'er would continue to think wildly, so he comforted her and said it was okay:

"If Erlang didn't like it, I wouldn't be here now. He didn't have to."

"Didn't it be too miserable to look at you at that time. Oh, at that time... I thought that you might have to go home when I saw you... Thinking about it this way, I'm really great. I'm not afraid of you...cough cough ...I still brought you here. If it's really bad, I was the only woman in the house at the time, and I don't know what to do."

Lan Hua'er thought of what she did back then, and felt that she was really too courageous.If she were to go through it again now, she might never dare to get into the big trouble of Zang Lang again.

Thinking about it this way, Lan Huaer remembered that she decided to take Zang Lang home because she felt that Zang Lang's eyes resembled the big dog she often dreamed about.As a result, after taking Zang Lang to Zhao's house, she never dreamed of that dog again.Thinking about it suddenly, I feel a little nostalgic.

That big dog, could it be Zang Lang? Lan Hua'er couldn't help thinking about it.But within two seconds, she herself was amused by the thought.

Although Zang Lang often behaves like a dog, he is a human being after all.If she had dreamed about it, it must have been about Zang Lang. The dream of turning a man into a dog was too much nonsense.

After confirming that neither Zang Lang nor herself was in danger, Lan Hua'er finally stopped thinking about it.

Taking advantage of the arrival of early summer, it is a perfect day for beekeeping.Orchid Hua'er also went to the back mountain, picked a lot of flowers and came back, thinking to see if the petals can be dried to make scented tea materials, or try to make perfume.

She had never made perfume before and had absolutely no idea how to do it.However, the materials originally came from the mountains, and it only took some effort to pick them, so it would not be a pity to waste them.

Lan Hua'er even went to the vegetable field next to her home, picked some cauliflowers in bloom, and specially used the cauliflowers to cook a pot of soup.When she was reading comics before, she had seen a recipe that used cauliflower instead of ginger and spring onion to cook fish soup.She tried it herself, and found that the manga was indeed a lie.The cauliflower taste was too bland, not at all strong enough to mask the fishy smell.However, if it is a fish soup with ginger, scallions and cooking wine, and some cauliflower, it is quite delicious.

Because there were too many cauliflowers to finish, she also tried mixing cauliflowers with pork to make stuffing, and made dumplings once, which tasted very delicious.

This is a unique delicacy that can only be eaten in the village during the season of late spring and early summer.Lan Hua'er divided the dumplings among many families, so many families followed Lan Hua'er's example and picked the cauliflower to make into dishes.

The flowers picked from the back mountain are washed by the orchids one by one, and then put outside to dry, ready to try to make flower cakes and perfume.

She also thought about soaking the petals in honey, but this is done, and I guess she can only eat it by herself. The ladies here probably haven't developed enough to buy petal honey, so the orchids simply bought it. Abandoned the idea.

Compared with making perfume, Lan Huaer is more confident in making flower cakes.Moreover, she always feels that luxury goods like perfume are probably not easy to sell outside. If she can make flower cakes, um, she can send them to the mountains for Honghuabai to taste.Honghuabai likes to eat desserts, but also likes to eat meat, and also likes to eat fresh food, which will definitely make her happy.

Thinking about it this way, Lan Hua'er simply tried to make flower cakes when she had flowers in her hand.As for the perfume, it was a joke.If it can be done, it will be great, you can send it to Guan Ju and Fang Ningai, they will definitely like it.If it can't be done, it's okay, anyway, there is no hope.

The flower cake is very similar to the cake that Lanhuaer made before. The method is simple, but the petals are put inside.After the petals are dry, Lan Huaer starts to make flower cakes.

　I'm sick...I would like to remind everyone to keep warm in summer, don't blow the air conditioner violently, and pay special attention to changes in temperature difference...don't be as tragic as me...T_T~
