Jiang Tangtang touched the child's head with pity and said, "When we get to Lingnan, can we make glutinous rice cakes for you? Let's make yam cakes for you to eat today. How about that?"
I heard that tonight You can eat yam cake, and Lu Tiantian feels much more energetic when walking. After two days of adapting, Jiang Tangtang walked a little faster, and mother and daughter could barely stay in the middle of the team.
It was not until dark that we arrived at the inn.
The inns in such desolate areas are small and dilapidated, but compared to sleeping in the wild, people are already very satisfied.
The rooms are divided into family units, and each family is assigned a large room. There was no bed, no tables, chairs or benches inside, just a large, dusty bunk.
At this time, everyone ignored the mess and dusted it casually, then couldn't wait to lie down and rest.
Jiang Tangtang and Lu Tiantian whispered for a while, then took the yam out of the room.
Seeing Jiang Tangtang take away the whole bag of yams, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but said: "What is she doing again? Maybe she wants to eat alone secretly again!" "
No, my mother is going to cook it for me. Yam cake." Lu Tiantian pouted and defended her mother.
Mrs. Chen pursed her lips and said, "Come on, just like her, I still believe you when you say she went to eat it secretly, but I don't believe you when you say she can make yam cakes."
Lu Tiantian didn't understand that her mother was so good. Why did the second aunt always say bad things about her? She immediately puckered her lips and started crying.
Lu Shiyan held her in his arms, gave Chen a cold look and said, "The yam was dug by Jiang. Even if she eats it, it is not stolen. Second aunt, please be more careful what you say in the future."
Chen was beaten by Lu Shiyan His cold eyes were startled, he didn't dare to say anything anymore, he turned around and sulked. Jiang Caiwei pinched her palms with her fingernails and left the room with her head lowered.
Jiang Tangtang had no idea about the conflict in the room. She took the yams and went out to find Liang Jiamin, "Sir, my child wants to eat some pastries. Can I borrow the kitchen?"
Without waiting for Liang Jiamin to answer, she added: " By the way, adults, what do you have for dinner? Do you want me to help with the cooking? I am cooking for the children anyway, so I can also help you with tonight's meal, okay?" Thinking of
Jiang Tangtang's good craftsmanship, Liang Jiamin naturally He didn't refuse and took her to the small kitchen of the inn.
Although the food eaten by official servants is not much better, at least they are in a post station and the food is much richer.
This time, in addition to brown rice and beans, there were also several large pumpkins, a long winter melon, a small piece of bacon, a few fan bones, and half a bag of white flour.
Looking at the food on the table, Jiang Tangtang quickly had an idea.
She first washed the brown rice and boiled it in a pot.
While the brown rice is cooking in the pot, peel the pumpkin and cut into cubes. When the brown rice is half-cooked, quickly drain the water with a basket and put it on the steamer to steam.
The steamer at the inn is an old-fashioned bamboo steamer. Jiang Tangtang uses three layers to steam brown rice, the second layer to steam pumpkin, and the top layer to steam yam.
The miscellaneous beans are still the same as last time, and they are simmered in a separate pot. But this time she was alone in the kitchen. She secretly took out some spices from the space, and the stew tasted better than last time.
Cut the winter melon into cubes and stew it with the fan bones in another large pot.
After the pumpkin is steamed, crush it with a spoon and knead it into a ball with flour to make pumpkin pie.
The yam cake was also crushed like pumpkin, and rice flour, tapioca flour, milk, cooking oil, and white sugar were secretly taken from the space. They were mixed in appropriate proportions and then steamed in the big pot again.
Cut the bacon into cubes, stir-fry until fragrant, then put the steamed brown rice into the pot and stir-fry.
In an instant, the fragrance wafted throughout the entire inn, and the officers guarding outside and resting in the room were all shaken up.
While Jiang Tangtang was cooking in the kitchen, Jiang Caiwei also found an official at the inn.
She took out a banknote from the middle of her clothes, handed it over and said, "Brother, could you please give me some powder?" The
official with the mustache squinted and wandered back and forth over Jiang Caiwei's body, looking lewd and seductive. "What kind of medicine do you want? Is someone in the family sick?"
Jiang Caiwei was disgusted by her gaze, but thinking about what she was planning, she suppressed her nausea and said, "Yes, my man has hurt his body, and he is in so much pain that he can't sleep every night. , can you give me some powder to help him fall asleep at night?"
The mustachioed officer pushed the banknote back with some reluctance, "You want me to give you some powder to help you escape? That's not possible. If this is found out, , but it's about losing my head."
"How dare I run away!" Jiang Caiwei said delicately: "My man really can't sleep at night, so you can help me, just give me a little bit, then a little bit, why? Might I knock out a few official servants? Besides, I am a weak woman, in this barren mountain and wilderness, where can I run to?"
How could the official servant believe her words.
But seeing Jiang Caiwei look like Xiao Jia Biyu and acting like a coquettish girl made my bones go numb and my heart was really itchy.
He pulled her into his arms and put his hand dishonestly into her clothes, "Are you really my man?"
Jiang Caiwei was so sick that she wanted to vomit, but thinking about Jiang Tangtang leaning on Lu Shiyan and provoking her, she felt strong again. Resisting the urge to push the person away, he said softly: "Really, please help me, brother."
"Your man is not hurting his body, but his roots, right?" As the official said, he led Jiang Caiwei to Go to the empty room on the side.
Jiang Caiwei was so anxious that she clung to the wall and refused to leave, "Brother, look at the medicine powder..."
"Don't worry, as long as you make me happy, even if you break the rules, I will help you do it. But besides I, no one dares to give the Mongolian sweat medicine to the exiled prisoners..."
The officer's intention was obvious. If he was not allowed to take advantage, then even if he spent money, he would not be able to get the Mongolian sweat medicine.
Jiang Caiwei felt that his fingers were crawling back and forth on her body like disgusting snakes. She wanted to grab the banknote and run away immediately.
But on the road to exile, it was a good time to kill someone.
Moreover, if a person dies on the way to exile, officials generally will not investigate the cause of death. I would just casually report a reason to the higher-ups.
Thinking of Lu Shiyan's cold face defending Jiang Tangtang, Jiang Caiwei didn't push the man away after all.
The man worked as an errand at this remote inn and had seen many exiled ladies.
Which one was not a chaste and martyr woman in the beginning? But for the sake of food and survival, in the end, who wouldn't be as slutty as that bitch in the brothel?
It's just that there are not many people like her who are looking for medicinal powder.
But the man didn't care what she wanted to do to get the powder. He took Jiang Caiwei to the room, couldn't wait to untie her clothes, and started nibbling on that soft little mouth.
Jiang Caiwei smelled a fishy smell, and she resisted the urge to vomit and endured the storm that made her sick.
