Chapter 8 Ugly People Have Many Tricks
When Jiang Tangtang went over, several officers had already collected firewood.
The officers and soldiers were free to move around and were not restricted like prisoners. Some officers even went into the woods to shoot a few pheasants.
However, the officials' food was not that good either. Their staple food was brown rice and mixed beans, plus a jar of sauerkraut.
In the past, officials would cook mixed beans and brown rice.
If they caught prey, they would clean it and roast it over a fire to eat with their meal. If they didn't catch any prey, they would eat pickled cabbage with brown rice.
If she wanted to conquer the stomachs of several officials with today's meal, she had to make some achievements.
It is difficult to prepare meals for more than 20 people even in a large kitchen with modern equipment, let alone in this desolate mountain area.
But since Jiang Tangtang has taken on the job, he has to do it well.
She first boiled some hot water and used it to swell the beans.
While the beans were swelling in the hot water, I skillfully cut apart a few chickens, put the chicken bones and heads in a hanging pot on the side to make soup, cut the chicken into small cubes, and put half of the chicken fat and skin into the pan to stir-fry until the oil came out.
Stir-fry the sauerkraut in the pan with chicken oil until fragrant, then add the other half of the chicken oil and chicken skin into the pan to fry out the oil, then add the diced chicken, mixed beans, and brown rice in turn and stir-fry, finally add water and simmer over low heat.
Soon, a mouth-watering aroma wafted from the open space.
The officers all began to look forward to today's meal, and in the distance, Jiang Aivi, who had just finished two moldy steamed buns, became even hungrier.
She cursed Jiang Tangtang in her heart, but couldn't help but look in the direction where Jiang Tangtang was cooking.
Like Jiang Caiwei, all the members of the Lu family couldn't help but look over there.
The once noble families now had to swallow their saliva for a little country food, which made them feel ashamed.
So, he took out all his anger on Jiang Tangtang.
"Shi Yan, your wife has this skill, but she keeps it to herself and doesn't help her family. Instead, she goes to the officials to show her affection. Could it be that she has some inappropriate thoughts?"
Chen said sarcastically, "She may be ugly, but she has so many tricks up her sleeve! No wonder she resorted to such despicable tactics to marry me!"
"Do you have rice to cook for her?"
Lu Shiyan's eyes were calm, but the tense jawline and the murderous look lurking in his brows made Chen's heart skip a beat. Suddenly, she remembered that this was a killer who had been on the battlefield since he was fifteen.
But then she thought, no matter how glorious he was in the past, he was now just like her, a prisoner with no tomorrow.
She pouted and said, "It's wrong for her to do this even though she has no rice to cook! No matter how ugly she is, she is still the daughter-in-law of our Lu family. Why doesn't she observe the virtues of a woman and join a men's team? What's the difference between her and a whore?"
"Buddhism says that people with shit in their hearts see shit in everything. They're talking about people like you, right?"
When Jiang Tangtang came back, she happened to hear Chen saying bad things about her, and she immediately retorted without any hesitation.
Chen spat on the ground and said, "You're clearly a fool, yet you're pretending to be a gentleman. Ugh!"
"Even a straw bag is better than you!" Jiang Tangtang said.
Jiang Caiwei thought about how Lu Shiyan had just spoken up for Jiang Tangtang, the big black bear, and felt really bad. She deliberately walked over and said, "Cousin, you're back? Why didn't the official invite you to stay for dinner? You work so hard, but you still have to eat moldy dry food like us?"
"Since you're married, you should call me Third Aunt according to your husband's generation."
Jiang Tangtang was too exhausted to bother with her. After striking her vital spot, he went over and sat down next to Lu Tiantian, whispering, "Have you had the ginger soup I left for you?"
Lu Tiantian said in a baby voice, "Drink it." As she spoke, she quietly took out something from her arms and handed it to Jiang Tangtang, "Mom, this is for you. Daddy roasted some sparrows. Eat it."
Jiang Tangtang's body began to show the same symptoms as when she was cooking just now. Her mouth was drooling like crazy, and she wanted to snatch the sparrow from the child's hand and swallow it.
She pinched her palm hard and said with a smile, "Mom is not hungry, you eat. I'll go to the bathroom first."
After saying that, he quickly ran towards the bushes nearby.
The officials on this trip were very satisfied with the meal Jiang Tangtang cooked today. They even felt that it was more delicious than what they had eaten in the restaurant.
Seeing her enter the nearby woods, no one came out to scold her.
Jiang Tangtang quickly found a way out of the dense forest, covered herself with clothes, took out an egg tart from the space and stuffed it into her mouth.
After eating three in a row, she felt the maddening rage in her body slowly subside.
After her symptoms were relieved, she did not go back immediately, but entered the space.
Although the officers did not invite her to dinner today, it can be seen from their reactions that they should be very satisfied with the food she cooked today.
The next time we go to the post station to collect rations, we should be able to meet her request and replace their family's dry food with brown rice and grains that they can cook themselves.
I will also give her convenience within the scope of principles.
It should be easier for her to hide and eat in the future. However, apart from snacks, many foods are semi-finished.
After traveling through time, the snacks in the space were gone after each one was eaten, and she was reluctant to waste them. In fact, the most important thing was that snacks were high in calories and could not fill her stomach, so she had to prepare other food.
After thinking about it, she washed her hands, scooped flour and appropriate amount of water into the dough machine, and let it knead and ferment automatically.
Then he hurried to the yard, dug up a bunch of sweet potatoes and carried them out of the space.
As for making steamed buns, she could only look for another opportunity later. She was afraid that if time passed, Lu Shiyan would come looking for her again.
Sure enough, as soon as she came out of the woods with the sweet potatoes, she met Lu Shiyan. Jiang Tangtang held up the sweet potatoes in her hand and said, "Look, what did I find in the woods?
”
"What is this?" Lu Shiyan looked at her with a curious look.
Jiang Tangtang said, "I heard this from a mountain villager when I was learning to identify medicinal herbs. I heard it's called yam and can be used to fill the stomach. Let's find a place to wash it and then go back and cook it and try it."
When Jiang Caiwei heard that Jiang Tangtang had found something to eat, a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.
That bitch, how come she always finds food today!
There must be a ghost!
"Did you really find this in the mountains?" Jiang Caiwei walked over and said.
"I didn't find it in the mountains, did you find it in the mountains?" Jiang Tangtang said sarcastically, "Why? Third Aunt wants to eat it too?"
Jiang Caiwei couldn't help swallowing, but she said stubbornly, "I don't want to eat it. I don't know what kind of tree root you found. It looks weird. Don't eat me to death."
"Don't worry, you won't have the chance to eat it even if you want to! Because you can't find it!" Jiang Tangtang said angrily, "And I won't give the things I worked so hard to find to someone like you who is so duplicitous and vicious!"
