Chapter 28 Talking Business
When the police came running, they were shocked to see Lu Yingxun with several fingers cut off, curled up on the ground, howling.
Seeing the officer coming, Lu Yingxun quickly complained, "Sir, arrest him quickly! He stabbed me on purpose!"
Liang Jiamin asked, "What are you doing in the kitchen so late at night?"
"I...I..." Lu Yingxun was sweating profusely in pain, but he couldn't think of a suitable reason.
"Alright, I know what you're thinking. This belongs to the officials, so why should you covet it? Get out of here right now. If you run around again, watch out for your remaining fingers."
Lu Shiyan had already cut off several of his fingers, but Liang Jiamin did not punish him again.
But even so, it was enough for him to bear.
He was already beaten by Zhou Lei, with bruises all over his face and wounds, and now Lu Shiyan had cut off several of his fingers.
There was a lack of medical care and medicine during the exile, and his survival depended on his fate.
As for the fact that Lu Shiyan injured Lu Yingxun, Liang Jiamin not only did not punish him, on the contrary, she had a higher opinion of Lu Shiyan in her heart.
He is brave and resourceful, able to bend and stretch, and can be ruthless when necessary.
I still love my wife and children...
It has both armor and weaknesses!
Such people are worth associating with.
Jiang Tangtang didn't know that because of this accident tonight, Liang Jiamin's evaluation of Lu Shiyan suddenly increased a lot, which invisibly helped her a lot in the business she was going to discuss next.
She, Shen, the village head and others rushed over upon hearing the noise, and saw Lu Yingxun covering his fingers and rolling out of the kitchen in shame.
Seeing Jiang Tangtang, Lu Yingxun's eyes flashed with resentment. These two bitches from the first wife's house! Sooner or later, he would make them pay the price.
Jiang Tangtang didn't notice Lu Yingxun. She hurried to Lu Shiyan's side and asked him, "How is it? Are you okay?"
"It's okay, you all go back and rest!" Lu Shiyan said, and apologized to several officials.
Liang Jiamin waved her hand nonchalantly and left with her group. The people who had followed to watch the excitement also gradually dispersed.
Jiang Tangtang stayed and didn't leave. "Go back to your room and rest! I'll watch over you for the rest of the night."
Lu Shiyan said: "No need, I can rest anywhere."
"Actually, the meat in the pot is already braised. We just need to scoop it into a bucket, soak it in the marinade, and eat it in the morning. No one needs to watch over it now."
Jiang Tangtang said as she took out the wooden barrel that contained the wolf meat at noon and scooped the braised meat and marinade from the pot into the barrel.
The problem of storing the wolf meat was solved perfectly, but after all this trouble, Jiang Tangtang lost her sleepiness.
She lay on the hardwood bed, thought for a while, and simply found a place to hide and sneaked into the space.
The raw crystals collected in the cave yesterday were piled up in a mess in the warehouse and had not been sorted out yet.
Jiang Tangtang picked out some smaller gravel and took them to the cutting machine for cutting.
Jiang Tangtang hadn't done it for a while, so she felt a little unfamiliar with it. It took her a long time to slowly get back to the feeling.
But after glancing at the time, Jiang Tangtang didn't dare to continue, fearing that she would be discovered if she left the room for too long.
There's no rush to make crystal jewelry anyway.
She first went to her room and picked out a few pieces of jewelry she had collected before, planning to pawn them and exchange them for something else when she got to town.
As for whether the origin of the jewelry would be suspected, Jiang Tangtang was not worried.
The original owner had a strong personality and liked to eat alone. She kept all her things by herself, and the Lu family had no idea how much she had hidden.

The next morning, Jiang Tangtang got up early to make breakfast, and then took out the wolf meat that had been braised last night.
"Are you really going to give it to us to eat?" Liang Jiamin said last night that the wolf meat was theirs, but because I wanted to protect Lu Shiyan, I didn't want to take advantage of them.
"There's so much, we can't finish it! Sir, please try it!" The wolf meat had been cut into thin slices and placed on a plate, with a rich aroma.
With such delicious food in front of them, the officials could not resist and started to eat with relish.
"This meat is delicious! It's even better than the stewed radish yesterday!"
"It tastes better than any big restaurant in Beijing."
…
Amid the officials' praise, Jiang Tangtang struck while the iron was hot and approached Liang Jiamin to discuss business. "Sir Liang, what do you think of my braised pork?"
Liang Jiamin swallowed the meat in his mouth, gave her a thumbs up and said, "Not bad, it's delicious! This is the first time I've eaten such delicious meat."
Jiang Tangtang asked, "Master Liang, how about I exchange this wolf meat for pork, beef, or mutton, and take it to the capital to sell it?"
Liang Jiamin nodded without hesitation and said, "That will definitely sell well!"
Jiang Tangtang said with a smile, "Sir, how about we discuss a business deal?"
Liang Jiamin unconsciously straightened her body a little, "What business?"
"The braised meat business!" Jiang Tangtang said, "I'll let you do this, sir. You only need to give me 30% of the profits. Also, just turn a blind eye and give me some convenience along the way."
Liang Jiamin sneered, "You're quite brave!"
Having been an escort officer for many years, he has seen all kinds of people.
Some people sell out their loved ones in order to survive, some sell their bodies...but this is the first time he has seen someone like her who dares to come and discuss business with him.
Jiang Tangtang flattered, "It's because of your wisdom that I dare to say this. If it were someone else, I wouldn't dare to say this either."
Liang Jiamin said, "Okay, stop flattering me. Tell me, how are you going to run this business?"
"This dish tastes delicious, yet it's simple and easy to prepare. Just ask a few trusted people to make it. Furthermore, this dish is suitable for people of all ages and can be sold to people of all walks of life. For those who are more discerning, they can choose chicken, duck, beef, or mutton, while the poorer classes can choose poultry offal..."
Jiang Tangtang blurted out the speech he had prepared earlier.
Liang Jiamin didn't reply immediately, but simply said, "Alright, I'll think about this first. Hurry up and have breakfast, then pack up and get going. We're fifty miles today, and we can't miss a single step."
Jiang Tangtang could only feel a little anxious, but she also knew that this matter could not be rushed, so she could only suppress her worries and go eat first.
Last night, Jiang Tangtang braised all the remaining wolf meat. Today, in addition to giving some to the officials, she also gave some to the Zhou family and the village head's family.
The Zhou family thanked them with red eyes, and the village head's daughter-in-law brought some food over.
After a simple meal, Jiang Tangtang carried the three children to the cart, put the dried mushrooms and vegetables sent by the headman's family, and the remaining half bucket of braised meat on the cart, and then pushed the cart away.
Those families with children were extremely envious when they saw Jiang Tangtang's car.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Fang family pleaded with red eyes: "Sister Jiang, can you put my third boy on your cart as well?"
There are three children in the Fang family's eldest branch. They are all young. The youngest, Fang Zikai, is only three years old this year, just like Lu Jingcheng's siblings.
On ordinary days, Fang Dalang always carried his youngest son on his back when traveling. But yesterday, Fang Dalang was killed by a wolf.
