The pork butcher is smoother than a pig butcher!

Chapter 225 If a child fails to educate himself, it is the father’s fault!
They only eat grass, produce many offspring, and reach market weight quickly!
They all hit the nail on the head with perfect precision.

Whether it tastes good or not is not important.

The important thing is that it's meat!
Finally, Captain Gan added:
"When I was in Daming Prefecture, I heard a lot about how to cook rabbits."

One of them is a type of wax rabbit!

The specific process involves marinating fresh rabbit meat with salt and spices, then smoking and drying it. It can be preserved for up to six months without any problems!
This smoked rabbit, once cooked, has dark red meat that can be torn into strips. It's salty, savory, and chewy, and even the bone fragments are fragrant.

The aroma penetrates to the bone?

That would definitely be a great dish to enjoy with drinks!
Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.

It turns out that it wasn't that rabbit meat was bad, it was just that the people from Northwest China didn't know how to cook it!

The general in charge of the Right Guard Battalion immediately requested permission to go into battle.

Who else but them can shoulder the heavy responsibility of catching wild rabbits?

Gan Minglan thought that the general, who came from a background of night watchmen, must have some unique skills in catching rabbits, but she didn't expect him to come to her for help.

The general smiled obsequiously:

"I'd like to borrow your grateful rat for a while. It's so good at digging holes, it's definitely better at finding rabbits than any of our thousands of people."

Gan Minglan's molars are a little sore.

It was only then that she realized that King Atu wasn't even in the border town.

They're still keeping those dozen or so good-for-nothing young masters eating sand to survive in the desert.

Although she did this under the guise of doing something good.

Escaping is not in her nature.

He immediately approached General Zhao privately and told him the whole story behind how the good-for-nothing young masters were thrown into the desert for reformation.

General Zhao looked shocked.

It took him a long time to come to his senses.

But he only asked one serious question: "Can you really come back alive?"

Gan Minglan replied decisively: "Yes, it's possible!"

Unexpectedly.

Just moments ago, General Zhao had been visibly shocked. He let out a long sigh, drank half a cup of tea, and then began to pour out his grievances to her:
"Captain Gan, you did a good job teaching him a lesson. It's good that you spared his life!"

This wretched child is usually only disciplined occasionally by his stepmother in the Marquis's mansion, and is increasingly spoiled by his concubine, becoming completely lawless.

As his father, I have no way to deal with him except by beating and scolding him.

He was quite well-behaved and adorable before he was six years old!
From the time they hired a tutor for him when he was six, the Hou family never had a moment's peace. From a Xiucai (a successful candidate in the county-level imperial examinations) to a Juren (a successful candidate in the provincial-level imperial examinations) and then to a Jinshi (a successful candidate in the metropolitan-level imperial examinations), they hired at least eight or ten tutors.

I can't concentrate on learning, I simply can't!
This Marquis is not the kind of person who is pedantic. He thought that if the man could not take the imperial examination, he should join the army.

As a result, he couldn't even hold a horse stance for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!
This good-for-nothing son of a man, good for neither literature nor martial arts, was someone I used to think would only make a fool of himself in the small territory of Huaiqing Prefecture.

Unexpectedly, this wretched creature dares to wreak havoc in the border town.

There is no better son than a father!
Knowing his own father's lecherous nature, he must have said some thoughtless and outrageous things to Captain Gan.

They vandalized shops without cause, harassed respectable women, bullied five-year-old children, and even stole a baby who was only five months old.

Each and every one of these events could cause his blood vessels to rupture.

After the gentlemen all declared that Zhao Rui was beyond redemption, Zhao Muyun gradually accepted the fact that his eldest son was a good-for-nothing wastrel.

But all of this is based on the premise of not harming anyone. Just now.

Upon hearing Captain Gan's method for dealing with the unfilial son, he genuinely felt it was a good idea.

"In ordinary times, people call on their friends and are flattered so much that they don't know their own limitations. They can share the good times, but when things go wrong, it's hard to say whether they will be able to share the burden."

He only knows how to choose the best food, clothing, and daily necessities. He's never been hungry since birth, so how could he know that he'd struggle to survive after leaving the Marquis's mansion?

If he still doesn't learn his lesson after being punished like this, then I might as well give up on this good-for-nothing.

Gan Minglan was finally completely relieved.

The fact that Zhao Muyun could say such a thing shows that he was truly at a loss when it came to educating his eldest son.

Even with such a malicious tactic she used, he could treat it as a fight against poison.

Well, she was judging others by her own petty standards.

At the end, Zhao Muyun solemnly apologized to Gan Minglan.

Confucianism remains the orthodox ideology today.

If a child is raised but not taught, it is the father's fault!
When a son makes a mistake, the father should bear the consequences!
He offered a very sincere apology and proactively asked Gan Minglan what kind of compensation she wanted.

Gan Minglan then proposed that she wanted to build a wild horse ranch on the western foothills of Junma Mountain: "Wild horses are not like domestic horses; they spend most of their day running wildly!"

Zhao Muyun naturally received news about the wild horse herd.

His only concern was: "The western foothills are too close to the Tatars in the southern desert! Wouldn't it be easier for them to plunder if we raised horses and sheep here?"

Captain Gan was incredibly domineering:
"Since I dared to build a ranch on their territory, I naturally had these defensive measures in place! If they dare to come, I can make sure they don't leave alive!"

"Alright, Captain Gan, you can claim as much territory as you want, and just ask for whatever you want!"
The imperial court truly can't control us anymore; they haven't responded to our previous petition for your commendation.

Rest assured, the General and all the other generals will never forget all the contributions you have made to the border town!

His words implied that he would give Gan Minglan a suitable official position at the right time.

He also promised that he would give capable people like Gan Mingfu and Zuo Wenkang enough space to develop their talents.

Gan Minglan was in high spirits after easily passing the test and gaining the privilege of building a private ranch.

When she returned to No. 36 Courtyard, she found that the entire medical team had gathered at her home.

When the She family saw her, they were overjoyed, as if she were family.
"Captain, we're back! Everyone's back!"

"Captain, we didn't let you down this time. General Zhao has praised us many times!"

"Captain, I stitched up 325 patients all by myself. They all said that my stitches were fine and even, and the scabs looked like a single seam!"

"The military doctors are all wonderful people. They taught us how to treat different types of wounds, such as arrow wounds and knife wounds, and even taught us several formulas for hemostatic and anti-inflammatory drugs!"

"Captain, the battlefield really tests a person's character! I wouldn't be afraid of dead bodies or wounded people missing limbs right in front of me!"

"Hehe, war really does make you rich! The General gave each member of our medical team several bolts of cotton cloth! And you got one too!"

"."

Gan Minglan could tell that these people had a significantly different spirit and energy.

Although they were all dressed in drab, uniform clothes, their faces were full of pride when they talked about the new skills they had learned.

Especially those few who couldn't bear the hardships of the red tent and went to the battlefield with the mindset that they were doomed to die.

Returning to the border town, a city that felt both familiar and unfamiliar, they finally felt a sense of peace.

Back alive!
He really came back alive!
