Chapter 246 Little Tiger
"Uncle, my wine is different from other wines. You have to take small sips when you drink it, otherwise you won't be able to bear it." Zhang Haoran said with a smile.
"Hey, then I have to try it." Hua Hu picked up the bowl impatiently and took a big sip out of habit.
But just when it reached his throat, it suddenly stopped there. His neck and face turned red instantly, his eyes widened, and tears welled up in them.
After swallowing it forcefully, he took a long while to calm down.
"Well, good! It's great. I've never tasted such good wine." Hua Hu said with a smile.
"I told you to drink slowly and take small sips. This bowl of wine of mine is equivalent to ten jars of wine. Please don't waste it." Zhang Haoran said with a smile.
"Yeah!" Hua Hu agreed with this.
"Is he really that powerful?" Hua Mulan was a little surprised as she watched from the side. She had the same personality as her father, neither would admit defeat.
Without caring whether her father was willing or not, she just picked it up and took a sip.
When it reached my throat, I started coughing violently.
“Hahaha…” Hua Hu laughed.
"Why is this wine so choking? It feels like fire is burning in my stomach." Hua Mulan said.
"This is the essence of wine. What I said just now was true. It takes ten jars of wine to make a bowl like this." Zhang Haoran said with a smile.
"Miss Mulan, eat something to relieve your stress." Zhang Haoran pushed the peanuts in front of her.
After a bowl of wine, the atmosphere became lively.
Naturally, Zhang Haoran had a lot of topics to talk about, and he would talk about some new things from time to time, which surprised Hua Hu.
Even Hua Mulan moved a chair and sat down, propping up her head and listening with her eyes wide open.
Looking at it from a close distance, Zhang Haoran couldn't help but say in his heart that Xiaoyanzi's eyes were indeed big and round, and she hadn't blinked for such a long time. He really wanted to ask, are your eyes dry?
After eating and drinking, someone nearby came over to say that everything was cleaned up. Hua Mulan took some bedding and tidied up the room simply.
In that era, there were no thick cotton quilts. Having a sheepskin cloak to cover yourself was considered good. There would be some hay underneath, a thick straw mat woven with hay, and a linen sheet.
Standing at the door and watching Hua Mulan finish her work, she said: "Miss Mulan, thank you for your trouble."
"No need. In the village, everyone helps each other." Hua Mulan waved her hand and said, "You... you should take a rest first. I'll come and call you for dinner in the evening."
The two of them were alone together, and Mulan felt a little uncomfortable. After she finished speaking, she ran away like the wind.
Zhang Haoran found her quite interesting.
Now that I have just arrived, I have nothing. I can only accept Hua Mulan's kindness and stay with the Hua family for a day.
The next day, Zhang Haoran began to renovate this somewhat dilapidated yard.
Most of the walls in the village are made of adobe. This yard was unattended and many of them collapsed due to wind and rain.
"Doctor Zhang, the village chief asked me to come and see if there is anything I can help with."
Zhang Haoran looked at a bohemian boy who walked in with a dogtail grass in his mouth.
"Your name is Xiaohu, and my name is Zhang Haoran. From now on, just call me Brother Zhang. Don't call me Doctor Zhang, it's too formal." Zhang Haoran said with a smile.
"Okay, Brother Zhang, if you have any problems in the future, you can let me handle them. The village chief dislikes me for having nothing to do and always hanging around in front of him. He says I'm an eyesore, so he wants me to follow you." Xiaohu said with a grin.
"You are quite honest." Zhang Haoran said with a smile: "Okay, from now on you can follow me and help me. I will teach you medicine and kung fu."
Zhang Haoran knew the village chief's intention and did not refuse. Xiaohu could be said to be Hua Mulan's only friend, who valued loyalty and affection. But in the end, Hua Mulan watched him being killed by the enemy and could do nothing.
"Ah? No...Brother Zhang, you also know Kung Fu?" Xiaohu asked in surprise.
"Of course, otherwise how do you think I survived alone?" Zhang Haoran said with a smile.
Xiaohu thought about it and it made sense, but he didn't really like to practice, otherwise he wouldn't be unable to beat Mulan.
"That's perfect. I want to renovate the yard, and you can help me." Zhang Haoran patted his shoulder.
"Okay!"
Zhang Haoran got some adobe molds and some clay blocks, the same kind that people use in later generations, mixing mud together, adding some hay as reinforcements, and then drying them in rows.
It was simple. On this hilly plain covered with dirt, the two of them quickly made what they needed.
After putting it away, just wait for it to dry and take shape.
Then Zhang Haoran pulled Xiaohu to tidy up the stove.
There was a person hiding in the distance and watching. He wanted to come over to help, but was too embarrassed to do so.
The stove is also made of yellow mud and stone. After it is built, it does not need to be dried in the sun, just burn it directly. As for whether it will crack, he doesn't care too much, as long as it can be used.
However, with his abilities, the things he makes are naturally quite unique and not so easy to break.
Zhang Haoran took out the pots and pans and cooked at noon, which opened Xiaohu's eyes.
Before long, several mouth-watering dishes were ready, along with fragrant white rice.
Originally, Hua Mulan wanted to come over and invite Zhang Haoran to her house for dinner, but Zhang Haoran ended up asking her to stay for dinner.
"Sister Mulan, please try it. The food cooked by Brother Zhang is so delicious. I have never eaten such delicious food in my life." Xiaohu stuffed his mouth full and his cheeks were puffed up.
Hua Mulan held the rice and looked at the delicious and tasty dishes on the table. She felt shocked. Why was she not as good as a man in cooking?
But these dishes seemed to be ones she had never seen before.
……
Yuantou Village is not small, it can also be called a village, but this village has more than one hundred households and more than three hundred people.
It is nothing in later generations, but during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it can be said to be a densely populated village.
During the early period since he arrived, Zhang Haoran has treated almost every household's illness.
Moreover, he did not need to use any herbal medicine. Acupuncture was enough to cure the disease. He learned this from the medical books that the Black and White Impermanence brought to him.
Xiaohu has been learning from him, and Zhang Haoran also plans to pass on the acupuncture technique to him.
"Xiaohu, let's stop here today. You go back first. Remember to come early tomorrow!" Zhang Haoran said.
"Oh, I get it, Brother Zhang!" Xiaohu replied in a somewhat awkward tone. He was really exhausted in the past two days.
He would practice martial arts with Zhang Haoran in the morning and study medicine with him during the day, which made his life very fulfilling every day.
Zhang Haoran ignored him and went back home.
When passing by the Hua family, he inadvertently saw Hua Mulan practicing sword with a wooden stick.
With a sudden thought, he picked up a branch and attacked Mulan.
