Chapter 31 Victims in Victims
"I'm sorry! I bought a lot of things, so I wasted a little more time." Jiang Tangtang said, spanking the donkey's butt with an unfamiliar gesture, speeding up, and left the city with the officials. .
The camp was not far away, and a few people drove the donkey cart back to the camp in a short time.
Seeing Jiang Tangtang and his friends coming back, everyone in the Lu family's house gathered around in surprise, "Why did you buy a donkey cart?"
When they saw the contents of the donkey cart, they were even more surprised.
Jiang Tangtang took out the clothes and shoes he bought for everyone and distributed them to everyone.
The shoes everyone wore were worn when we set out. After walking for such a long time, they were already worn out.
After getting new shoes, everyone took off their old shoes and planned to put on new shoes.
Jiang Tangtang said: "Grandma, mother, please wait a moment. After a while, wash your feet with warm water, apply medicine on the wounds on your feet, and then put on new shoes!"
Before the exile, everyone was a pampered nobleman. , with tender skin and tender flesh, how can it withstand the pain of exile.
Not to mention several women, even Lu Shili's feet were covered with wounds.
Mrs. Su was moved to tears, "Then wash your feet first and apply the ointment."
Jiang Tangtang took out the ointment bought from the drug store and said to Ms. Su and the others: "I bought a new stove. You will boil water and apply the medicine yourself later. I will Let's go over there first and see what we can prepare for tonight."
"How can you think so thoughtfully, kid?" Mrs. Lu said, "Shi Yan came back from collecting firewood and boiled the water quickly. You wash your feet first and put the Wipe the wounds on your feet before you go!"
Jiang Tangtang waved her hands and said: "No, I have rough skin and thick flesh, but my feet are fine."
When she first came in, her feet were covered in blisters just like them. and festering wounds, but she had already secretly hid in the space and applied ointment, and now her feet are fine with no injuries at all.
It's just that she didn't know how to explain the ointment in the space, and there wasn't much of it, so she didn't take it out and distribute it to everyone.
Jiang Tangtang bought a donkey cart and bought so many things, which made the fellow exiled prisoners extremely unhappy.
But now everyone knows that the official is obviously protecting their family, so it's useless to go to the official to argue, but no one makes trouble anymore.
Not only did no one cause trouble, but many people went to please Jiang Tangtang and expressed their intention to help her.
At this moment, Jiang Tangtang was worried that he had not thought carefully and had forgotten that although pig offal is delicious, it is difficult to clean. If someone came to help, he would not refuse.
However, the other families who were exiled during this trip were not as high-status as the Lu family before they were exiled, but they also had a group of servants at home, and they had never done such rough work as washing pigs and draining water.
When they heard that they were being asked to sew pigs into the water, several ladies at the scene lost their temper and thought that Jiang Tangtang was deliberately making things difficult for them.
What Jiang Tangtang didn't expect was that Fang Mengshi, who looked weak and weak, did a very good job. Not only did he not dislike the dirty and smelly pig waste, but he also strictly followed the methods taught by Jiang Tangtang to clean it.
In addition to Fang Mengshi, Zhou Lei's performance is also very surprising.
At that time, Jiang Tangtang gave some dried meat to several children of the Zhou family for the sake of him speaking for her. From then on, he silently helped her with some things. For example, he picked up dry firewood and brought it over, or when she needed water for cooking, she took the initiative to fetch water...
Today she came to wash the pigs in the water. She didn't talk much, but she washed them very seriously and very cleanly.
Jiang Tangtang sent away several women who were full of complaints, leaving only Fang Mengshi and Zhou Lei.
The two came to help, and Jiang Tangtang didn't let their hard work go in vain. After the pigs were marinated and after consulting the escorting officer, Jiang Tangtang filled a large bowl for each of them.
The women who had just complained about Jiang Tangtang letting them wash pigs in the water now felt extremely regretful when they saw the two of them holding a big bowl of fragrant braised meat.
Although pig offal is only eaten by untouchables, it is still oily and watery!
What's more, the pig's urine that they usually looked down upon passed through Jiang Tangtang's hands and immediately turned into a supreme delicacy.
Just the smell of it made the prisoners in the camp salivate.
Not only the prisoners were salivating over the braised food, but the fellow officers were also very satisfied.
If he had doubts about Jiang Tangtang's money-making idea before, he was now completely convinced by her words.
Jiang Tangtang's status also quickly changed in the officer's mind. In the past, although the official servants gave her a little favor because the food she cooked was delicious, that was all.
But things are different now. In their hearts, Jiang Tangtang has changed from a prisoner to a business partner.
After that day, life in the Lu family's main house became completely better.
During the day, Jiang Tangtang asked a few children to sit on the donkey cart and grilled meat, sweet potatoes, fish, etc. on the small oven for the children to eat. An iron pot was placed on the big wood stove and cooked in it. Order snacks like fried rice.
When the officers call for a break, send some to them.
When Mrs. Su and Mrs. Lu took turns coming to the car to rest, the official turned a blind eye and pretended not to notice.
As for the official's breakfast and dinner, in addition to Lu Shiyan, Fang Mengshi, and Zhou Lei helping her, the official will also help now.
Originally it was a bit difficult for her to cook for more than 20 official servants, but now that there are so many more people helping her, she feels more relaxed.
Of course, the official's help is not in vain. Now that he has some free time, Liang Jiamin brings three or five official servants to talk to her about business.
There were more than twenty officials escorted this time, but they were all laymen when it came to doing business.
Regarding how to open a shop, where to open it, and how to run it...
For Jiang Tangtang, who is accustomed to seeing various promotions in modern times and also started his own farmhouse, it is simply child's play.
However, Jiang Tangtang feels that where the shop is opened, whether it is open to try food to attract customers, are not the important issues. The point is, how to prevent the braised pork recipe from leaking out.
Therefore, she suggested that the key process of making braised pork should be completed by the most trustworthy person.
Most of the families of these policemen are not wealthy.
It's not like a big family has servants butlers, the most trustworthy people are just wives, brothers and so on.
As for who to pick, Jiang Tangtang left it to them to decide, as long as they ensured that the recipe was not leaked.
Jiang Tangtang did not participate in the selection of whom. Liang Jiamin and the officials discussed and decided on their own.
After walking smoothly for seven or eight days, it started to rain again.
There was a donkey cart this time, and Jiang Tangtang bought raincoats and other rain gear in advance. The people in the Lu family's big house were pretty good, and no one got sick from the rain.
But the rain didn't stop for four or five days in a row, and the further south we went, the worse the situation got.
Not only were the roads muddy and difficult to navigate in the rain, making it difficult to find a resting place at night, they also encountered several waves of refugees on the road.
These refugees looked at the official grain trucks with crazy looks in their eyes.
