Chapter 27 Catching a Thief
So Lu Jingheng pursed his lips, put aside his thoughts, and continued to drink the soup in the bowl.
After the children finished the chicken soup in their bowls, Jiang Tangtang picked up a chicken leg for each of them.
"Thank you, mom. This chicken leg is so delicious." Lu Tiantian was as sweet as ever.
Lu Jingheng looked at his elder brother again, then ate the chicken leg silently.
Lu Jingcheng said with a cold face: "I want to eat cake!"
Then he pushed the bowl away and picked up the meat patty in the colander.
Jiang Tangtang spread the skin of the meat pie very thinly and fried it in a frying pan until both sides were golden brown. The meat filling was made by chopping wolf meat that was three parts fat and seven parts lean, adding green onions and seasoning powder.
The crust is crispy and the meat filling is neither greasy nor dry. It is so delicious that you want to swallow your tongue.
Lu Jingcheng imitated his father at a young age and had an icy face, but when he ate the meat pie, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
He originally wanted to give the chicken leg to Jiang Tangtang, but after taking a bite of the meat patty, he was really fascinated by the taste of the meat patty.
Jiang Tangtang didn't know what her son was thinking. She just thought that the little guy didn't like him and that it was the chicken leg she picked up, so he was throwing a tantrum and refused to eat.
She glanced at Lu Shiyan, meaning to ask him to communicate with the little guy and take care of him.
After eating until she was 70% full, Jiang Tangtang got up and went back to the kitchen to start making the marinade.
If you want the braised meat to have a nice color, you have to fry the sugar color first.
In modern times, chefs usually use rock sugar or white sugar for frying. But sugar was a scarce commodity in this dynasty.
Jiang Tangtang hesitated for a moment, but decided not to stir-fry the sugar color first, and to make the food taste good first.
As for the sugar color, it wouldn't be too late to make it after she persuaded Liang Jiamin and bought some sugar in the town.
Jiang Tangtang skipped the step of frying the sugar color and directly took out the spices from the space to prepare the marinade.
So, when the villagers finally restrained themselves and lay down, they smelled the tempting fragrance again.
This smell is even more fragrant than the one I smelled at dinner.
Many villagers were so angry that they sat up from their beds, "What is this old man Wang doing at home? He doesn't even let us sleep!"
"That's right! This damn old man is so evil!"
…
Not only were the villagers complaining, but even the officials who had just eaten felt hungry again.
"Boss, what delicious food is Jiang making now?" An official couldn't help but look for Liang Jiamin and asked.
Liang Jiamin said, "There are still a few wolves we picked up this morning that we haven't eaten yet. She's probably cooking them!"
"We also had wolf meat at noon, but why wasn't it as delicious as this?" The officer swallowed again.
"You didn't eat enough tonight? Go to sleep! You have to get up and take over from Dayong soon."
Although most prisoners were handcuffed and shackled, police officers still took turns patrolling at night to prevent them from escaping.
The officer lay down muttering, "I'm full, but this tastes so delicious. This Jiang family is the same, if there's anything delicious, can't they just cook it during the day? Why save it for the night?"
"Don't worry, Jiang is sensible and will definitely deliver fresh food. The reason why it's delayed until so late is probably because it takes a lot of time and they don't have time during the day."
Liang Jiamin guessed right on this point. If you want the braised meat to be flavorful, it is best to soak it in the marinade for a while after it is braised.
Jiang Tangtang planned to braise the meat before going to bed, then soak it in the marinade overnight. When the meat reached its best eating quality tomorrow morning, he would give the meat to the officials to eat, and then discuss business with Liang Jiamin.
The official could still remain calm, but since he lived in the yard and could only smell the fragrance but could not eat the food from the second and third branches of the Lu family, he was filled with complaints.
Lu Yingxun glared at the village headman's kitchen with hatred.
Since the people from the eldest wife eat all the food themselves, don't blame him for being rude.

Making braised meat is actually not tiring. Just boil the marinade, throw the meat into the pot, and light the fire.
Jiang Tangtang was dozing off in front of the stove when she suddenly felt someone holding her head.
She opened her eyes sleepily and saw Lu Shiyan looking down at her, and it was his suspicious hands that supported her head.
She suddenly woke up from her sleep and stammered, "Why are you here?"
Lu Shiyan said, "See if you need any help."
When Jiang Tangtang was reading books in the past, she often saw the author say that when you look at a beautiful woman under the lamp, she becomes more and more beautiful.
She used to disagree with it, thinking it was the author's exaggeration. It was so dark that it was impossible to see clearly.
But she believes it now.
He sighed in his heart again, no wonder the original master drugged him and slept with him.
This appearance and figure are really tempting to commit a crime!
She struggled to get rid of the mess in her mind. "I used the remaining wolf meat to make braised meat, but it's already done. There's nothing I need your help with."
"Then go to sleep!" Lu Shiyan said, "I'll just watch over you here!"
"I'm afraid someone might do something bad, so I have to guard this meat. I won't sleep all night... Forget it, you should go to sleep, and I'll watch over you."
Jiang Tangtang thought that she had returned home late last night in order to explore the route, and had not had much rest at all. Today she was busy on the road and had not had much rest at all.
She was already ill and hadn't recovered yet. If she continued to suffer like this, wouldn't he get sick again?
She doesn't have many common medicines in her space. If she gets sick a few more times, her stock will be used up.
And is the water in that space as magical as described in novels, containing spiritual energy and able to cure all diseases...
She hasn't tested it yet, and she doesn't want to waste any more medicine.
In Lu Shiyan's eyes, her reaction meant that she cared about him, felt sorry for him, and was reluctant to let him live in the kitchen.
He said a little uncomfortably, "Don't worry! When I was fighting at the border, it was common for me to stand in the snow all night. Besides, the bench at the headman's house is quite wide, so it's no problem to make do with it for a night."
Thinking of his superhuman recovery ability, Jiang Tangtang felt that she might have been worrying too much and there was no need to worry about her inventory.
Jiang Tangtang said happily, "Okay, then you stay here and I'll go back to my room to rest."
Looking at her brisk back, Lu Shiyan suddenly felt that he had overthought. She was so happy, how could he not be reluctant to leave her?
After Jiang Tangtang left, Lu Shiyan extinguished the torch that was lighting the room.
Sit upright on the bench and close your eyes to rest.
He used to practice this way often when he was in the army, and over time, he developed a magical skill.
When there was no sound, he closed his eyes and fell into a state of rest. However, his five senses were extremely sharp and he could detect the slightest sound.
So when he heard the first noise from the door, he opened his eyes. However, he sat there motionless, waiting for someone to lift the edge of the pot, then he suddenly jumped up and subdued the person.
"Ah!" A scream like a pig being slaughtered suddenly came from the kitchen.
