Siheyuan: Game of Red Dust

Chapter 76 Roast Whole Lamb

Li Weidong came out of Fengze Garden and walked towards the guard regiment. He didn't expect to meet Lou Bancheng today. Lou Bancheng has strong business capabilities, which can be seen from his nickname. Li Weidong thought of carbon fiber bicycles, so he asked Lou Bancheng if he had any friends abroad.

After a moment's thought, Li Weidong put it out of his mind. Then, thinking about Zhang Haiyang and the others, Li Weidong felt a bit of a headache. What should he teach them? Zhang Haiyang and the others were different from Damao and Dazhuang. Their fathers were all military men and were very familiar with the army's training methods. Or perhaps their fathers had taught them this way since they were young. So, Squad Leader Wang probably wouldn't be able to teach them soon.

Li Weidong had a headache. He hadn't thought of this at the time, and now that he had blown all the bullshit out of his mind, he could only hold his nose and bear it. He decided to go to the library and see if there were any boxing techniques or something like that.

Li Weidong immediately headed to the library, where he stumbled upon two martial arts books: one on Bajiquan and the other on Xingyiquan. He immediately began reading, finishing both books in no time. He discovered that the "Zhan Zhuang" (standing posture) techniques in them were indeed quite useful. Long-term practice of standing still, combined with specific breathing techniques, boosted lung capacity, strengthened leg stability, and fostered the habit of rapid counterattacks and defenses.

The force-generating techniques in it also gave Li Weidong great inspiration. He deduced them in his mind and found that they were indeed useful.

I decided to deduce a new boxing style in my mind that combines Xingyiquan and Bajiquan, which is more comprehensive and strengthens the lung capacity and stabilizes the legs.

Li Weidong also deduced the force-generating technique and modified it to be more reasonable, mobilizing greater body strength.

Li Weidong tried it, nodded with satisfaction, and left the library with two boxing books.

After returning to the Guards Regiment, Li Weidong went to the training ground first and saw the group of boys, led by Squad Leader Wang, practicing military boxing. Li Weidong did not go over, but took a look and returned to the dormitory.

After returning to the dormitory, he told his teacher and his wife about Fengze Garden, and then prepared to go to the kitchen to see if Nan Yi had returned. If not, he would have to come by himself.

Before leaving, Li Weidong asked the little foodie Zhou Xiaobai if he wanted to go with him. Well, actually, he was thinking that since Nan Yi hadn't come back yet, he wanted to capture a strong man to help him with the work.

Unexpectedly, the girl didn't even look at Li Weidong. She just waved her hand and continued to chat with her master's wife.

Li Weidong had no choice but to go to the kitchen by himself. When he got there, he saw that Nan Yi had not come back yet. There was no other way, he had to do it himself!
I went to the warehouse, caught two lambs, and started slaughtering and roasting them whole.

When he put the two sheep on the simple grill, Zhou Xiaobai and Xiu'er ran over after smelling the aroma.

"Brother-in-law, are we having roasted whole lamb for lunch?" Little foodie Zhou Xiaobai stared at the roasted whole lamb and asked Li Weidong.

"Daddy, eat some meat." The girl Xiu'er was also drooling, staring at the roasted whole lamb.

Li Weidong smiled and said, "Yes! Isn't this a treat for you kids? I've been training for a whole morning. If I don't treat you guys, you guys will complain about me when you get home!"

After hearing what Li Weidong said, Zhou Xiaobai rolled his eyes and said to Li Weidong, "Brother-in-law, if they come again next week, will you entertain them as well?"

Li Weidong said angrily, "You little bitch, do you think your brother-in-law is a fool? And you're treating me? Where did I get all that meat?"

Zhou Xiaobai ran over and shook Li Weidong's hand, saying coquettishly, "Brother-in-law, you must treat them well when they come over next weekend."

Li Weidong looked at Zhou Xiaobai and teased her, "That depends on your performance! If you perform well, you'll get everything. If you don't perform well, you'll get nothing."

Then came Zhou Xiaobai's various acts of coquettishness and flattery. Li Weidong accepted them all with a smile, but did not give in.

In the end, Zhou Xiaobai had no choice but to stomp his feet in anger, drag Xiu'er, and go to his master's wife to complain.

Time passed quickly, and it was almost half past eleven. Li Weidong checked the roasted whole lamb and saw it was already cooked. If he continued roasting it, it would be too late. He also checked the steamed buns that had just been put on the stove and saw they were almost done.

He called a guard and asked him to go to the training ground and call Squad Leader Wang and the others to come back for dinner.

After the guard left, Li Weidong began to take the roasted whole lamb, cut it into pieces with a knife, and put it in a bowl for easy consumption.

By the time Squad Leader Wang returned with the sweaty Zhang Haiyang and the others, Li Weidong had already finished dissecting the meat and placing it in three large basins of roasted lamb, emitting an alluring aroma. Squad Leader Wang didn't react much; after all, this was far inferior to the last time he had entertained Li Weidong's fellow apprentices.

Zhang Haiyang and his friends are different. They are not the veterans they appear in the drama yet. If they dare to mess up now, they will definitely be punished. So they eat whatever is cooked at home. As for wanting to satisfy their cravings and go out to eat, well, the budget does not allow it!

Take Zhang Haiyang, for example. When he made a bet with goddess Zhou Xiaobai about Li Weidong, why did he bring so many people? The budget didn't allow it. If he didn't bring so many people, what if he lost and couldn't afford the treat? Wouldn't that be embarrassing in front of the goddess? If it were the Zhang Haiyang in the show, how could he have brought them?
"Brother, are we going to eat this for lunch?" Zhang Haiyang said, looking at the mutton in the bowl and swallowing his saliva.

"What? You don't like it? If you don't eat mutton, I have some pickles over there. I'll get you some later." Li Weidong said jokingly.

Zhang Haiyang hurriedly said anxiously: "Brother, I eat it. Who said I don't eat mutton? I got angry with him. Everyone knows that I love meat the most."

Li Weidong and the others burst into laughter. Zhang Haiyang also realized that Li Weidong was joking with him and touched his head awkwardly.

Li Weidong then said, "Okay, let's eat first. It won't taste good if it gets cold. Everyone, help yourself and have enough food. I have one thing to say: you can eat as much as you want, but don't waste food. If anyone dares to waste food, don't blame me for punishing you."

After Li Weidong finished speaking, he picked up the mutton and a few steamed buns that he had prepared in advance for his teacher, his teacher's wife, Zhou Xiaobai and Xiu'er, and gave them to his teacher's wife and the others.

After Li Weidong left, Squad Leader Wang took Zhang Haiyang and the others to get their meal. Each of them filled a bowl with food, put it on the table, and started eating, gobbling it up as if they hadn't eaten meat in several lifetimes.

I have to say, these guys can really eat. Each of them ate two big bowls, and then they sat at the table and chatted while burping.

"Brother, you are so good to us! You give us enough meat. This is the first time I have eaten such a good meal in my life."

"It's true that our brother is very kind to us, but it's a bit too expensive. How much does all this meat cost?"

"It's got to be at least a few hundred yuan, right? Even if you have money, it's hard to buy. Tickets are a problem."

……

Everyone was talking about how much the meat would cost. Finally, Zhang Haiyang couldn't stand it anymore and said to everyone:

"Stop discussing this nonsense. This is what my brother got while hunting. I heard he even killed a big tiger. Xiaobai asked me to go to her house in a few days to see it. My brother gave the tiger skin to Uncle Zhou."

"Fuck, is our brother so powerful?"

"Ocean, go back and ask our brother when he's going to teach us real skills."

"That's right, Haiyang. Ask him later. We've been practicing those military skills since we were little. They're nothing special. If we want to become stronger, we have to learn our brother's kung fu. It hasn't been long since we've killed bears and tigers. Do you think our brother will take us hunting if we learn well? If we kill a tiger and carry it around the yard, how impressive it will be!"

Zhang Haiyang was also a little tempted after hearing this and said, "Okay, I'll ask him when he comes back."

"Brothers, whether we can enjoy the delicious food and drink the spicy food depends on you, Ocean."

"Yes, come on!"

……

Everyone encouraged Zhang Haiyang.
