"Yue 'er, tell Mister Bai to buy more fat and oil tomorrow. The fatter the better. There's no need for any meat or skin at all. Then, buy some soda. Find a few sisters to pick flowers. Pick as many as you can. But first, pick one kind of flower. It has a strong fragrance. Come back as many as you see. It's already summer. All the flowers that should be blooming have bloomed. Tomorrow, mobilize all the maids in the manor to go with you and buy me some of the strongest wine on the market. Do you remember?”
After listening to Liu Heng's instructions, Yue 'er thought about it for a while and slowly nodded. Liu Heng smiled and stood up."I'm done. Help me change."
Liu Heng had noticed Yue 'er a long time ago. Although she was a little girl who was not even 16 years old, she had a very good memory. No matter how troublesome the matter was, as long as she was told once, she would remember it firmly.
Li Zixun also wanted to reward everyone. Moreover, Yue 'er was fortunate enough to eat this meal with Liu Heng and Li Zixun. Initially, Li Zixun had told Liu Heng that Yue' er had settled the matter after she thought of Le Lang. After all, she had already promised Yue 'er. However, now that there was a financial problem at home, how could she spare money for Liu Heng to have a concubine? Li Zixun was unwilling to let Yue' er suffer, so she delayed it first.
Li Zixun guessed it when she saw Liu Heng talking and laughing at dinner?
Liu Heng smiled evilly." Hehe, there's no use in acting coquettishly. I just won't tell you. You'll understand in two days."
Hey, can you understand the chemical equation I wrote for you?
The next morning, Liu Heng woke up early to do his morning exercise, feeling refreshed. He was practicing Tai Chi in the courtyard. This was the first time Wang Yanzhang had seen him in the morning. He stood there and looked at Liu Heng for a long time.
"Ziyu, what are you doing? I've been watching it for a long time, but it doesn't look like Five Animal Frolics?”
Liu Heng said as he fought," You don't understand, right? This is called Taiji Fist. Although it's not as strong as the Five Animal Frolics, it can still train one's body. Look at how elegant this move is."”
"Hehe, this is not practical at all. I'll teach you a set of fist techniques. It can also help you defend yourself.”
The third wheel in Liu Heng's head suddenly lit up.""That's right. Don't waste such an expert by your side. In this chaotic world, you can't do without martial arts.”
"Alright, Ziming, from today onwards, how about you teach me some simple and useful martial arts?”
"How can this martial arts be as simple as you say? Han Tong and I both practiced martial arts from young to old, which is why we have today's methods. I taught you some punches to strengthen your physique. Don't count on this fist technique to let you live on the battlefield.”
"Why would I go to the battlefield? It's fine as long as you can let me defend myself.”
" Alright, you can watch first." Wang Yanzhang started to dance in the courtyard after he finished speaking. Liu Heng clapped and cheered.
When everyone heard Liu Heng's cheers, they gathered around Wang Yanzhang and formed a circle. After a while, Han Tong walked over and said to Wang Yanzhang,"This punch of yours…can't do it!"
Seeing that someone was cheering, Wang Yanzhang immediately stopped."No? How about we have a martial arts competition today?”
Just as everyone was watching, a cough and a cheer came to an abrupt end. Li Zixun stood behind Liu Heng. Han Tong and Wang Yanzhang also stopped. Han Tong was an old man in the Liu residence. Although he usually didn't speak, he knew how powerful Li Zixun was. Although Wang Yanzhang had just arrived, he had long seen that Madam Liu had the final say in the Liu residence.
Liu Heng turned around and smiled." Madam, you're up. Let's go have breakfast."”
As he spoke, he held Li Zixun's arm. Li Zixun said with great enthusiasm that she was not allowed to cause trouble like this in the future. Han Tong and Wang Yanzhang lowered their heads and did not even dare to let out a fart. It was enough to show Li Zixun's power. Actually, the two of them also felt that since Liu Heng was so eager to flatter Li Zixun, what else could they say?
In the blink of an eye, a few days had passed. Liu Heng had asked Wang Yanzhang to teach him martial arts behind Li Zixun's back in the courtyard. After practicing for an entire day, he was drenched in sweat. Liu Heng wanted to take a shower again. He wondered if he had finished what he had instructed Yue 'er to do.
Just as Liu Heng was thinking about it, he saw Yue Er and a few maids come back from outside. Each of them carried a bamboo basket on their backs, filled with flowers. The rays of the setting sun reflected on Yue Er's golden clothes. Coupled with Yue Er's exquisite face, it was a beautiful scene. Liu Heng couldn't help but be stunned when he saw her.
Yue 'er saw Liu Heng standing there in a daze as soon as she entered the door. She immediately complained to Liu Heng.
" Young Master, you've been working hard for the whole day. Your feet are already bubbling." As he spoke, he sat on the stone bench and rubbed his legs.
Liu Heng smiled bitterly when he heard his voice. He walked to Yue 'er and squatted down. He picked up Yue' er's feet and placed them on his legs to gently rub them.
"Thank you. You must be tired. I'll give you a good massage.”
"Hey, let me show you if this is okay?”Yue Er picked up the bamboo basket beside her and handed it to Liu Heng.
Liu Heng took the basket over and sniffed at the basket. He took out a few flowers and nodded."Yes, it should be possible."
Yue 'er smiled happily when she saw that. Liu Heng gently put her foot down and said,"Take a rest first. I'll go find Mr. White to see if he's ready. We're going to start work soon."
"Young Master, what do you want? Why do you want so many strange things?”
"You'll know in a while. Go and have a good rest.”Liu Heng then went to find Mister White.
"Mr. White, have you prepared the things I asked you to prepare?”
" Hey, Young Master, what are you trying to do? You want pig fat?" Mister White looked at Liu Heng with a sad face.
"Why can't I get it? Those butchers and meat sellers don't want this thing at all. They throw it away every time. I spent a lot of effort to get this.”
Mister White hurried into the kitchen with a large basin of pig fat.
"This is easy to buy. I bought it long ago. It's the strongest wine on the market.”As he spoke, he called out to the manservant, who came over with a wine jar.
Liu Heng took a sip from the wine jar and smacked his lips."No, this ancient degree is not good. It's only about 30 degrees. It seems that we still have to distill it.”
Liu Heng immediately used some wooden pipes and added a lid to the pot to drain the water and assembled a simple boiler. He said to a servant,"Watch carefully. Take care of the wine that will flow down from this tube. Don't waste a drop.”
Then, he poured a jar of wine into the pot and began to boil it. Liu Heng then ordered the servant boy to turn the flowers that Yue 'er and the maids had guessed into a pulp. The thinner it was, the better it would be for him to extract the clear liquid inside.
He poured the pig fat into the pot and added water to heat it up, stirring it little by little.
