The next day, when Jiang Tangtang opened her eyes, she saw Lu Tiantian holding her chin with her hands and smiling at her.
Seeing that she was awake, Lu Tiantian came over, took a sip on her face, and said in a soft voice: "Mom, the yam cake you made is so delicious."
Jiang Tangtang was given a big gift early in the morning, just like drinking It was as sweet as honey and water, she smiled and said: "Have you eaten it?"
Lu Tiantian said: "My brother and I woke up hungry in the middle of the night, and my father gave us something to eat. It was soft and fragrant. I had never eaten it before. I have such a delicious cake."
"The little cutie has such a sweet mouth!" Jiang Tangtang scratched the bridge of her nose and said with a smile, "Mom, I will make it for you next time!"
Lu Tiantian hugged her neck and said It smelled delicious on her face.
Jiang Tangtang looked at the light coming from the window and thought that it was almost dawn. She thought about getting food from the officials and cooking for herself, but she didn't care about being affectionate with her little daughter. She hugged her and said, "Wait here for me." "Mom, go get something delicious for you."
Unexpectedly, Lu Shiyan also followed her out of the room.
Seeing that he had been following her, Jiang Tangtang asked in confusion: "What are you doing here?"
Lu Shiyan said: "I'm going to help you!"
Seeming to see Jiang Tangtang's doubts, he added: "Last night, when I asked the official to borrow hot water, I heard that I told you to ask for a gift from the adults. From now on, our family will replace the dry food with grain and cook it ourselves."
Jiang Tangtang raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Can you cook?"
Lu Shiyan said: "I can't! But I can help. You collect firewood and make a fire and do rough work!"
Jiang Tangtang thought about cooking alone and being in a hurry to light the firewood stove, but she didn't refuse his kindness.
It would be nice to have someone to help her, it would make her more relaxed.
Although she can also cook a wood stove, it is really difficult for her to light a fire and work on the stove alone.
While they were talking, the two of them had arrived at the small kitchen.
Seeing Jiang Tangtang coming over, Ge Daquan handed the grain to her and said, "This is the ration for your family of nine this morning." "
Thank you, sir." Jiang Tangtang took the grain, thanked him, and asked about cooking today. thing.
"The boss said that we have to be busy on the road today, so we don't need you to cook for this morning's meal. You can just cook for the evening meal."
Ge Daquan said, and then reminded: "You should hurry up and set off when the time comes. We don't care whether you have eaten or not."
"Thank you, sir. I will not waste time as a civilian woman."
After Ge Daquan left, Jiang Tangtang got busy.
Prisoners and officers eat different food. Prisoners usually eat vegetable wowotou, so what Ge Daquan gave her today was a bag of Sanhe noodles and a handful of radish leaves.
This Sanhe noodles are composed of bean noodles, sorghum noodles and millet noodles. Even the freshly steamed steamed buns get stuck in the throat.
Jiang Tangtang had put in so much effort to get a chance to improve her life, and she didn't want to eat the cornbread stuck in her throat.
She handed the radish leaves to Lu Shiyan and said, "Don't you want to help? Do you know how to wash vegetables?"
"Yes!" Lu Shiyan neatly took the radish leaves and left the kitchen to find a place to wash them.
When Jiang Tangtang saw someone leaving, she quickly poured half of the Sanhe noodles into the basin. She quickly took out the cornmeal and flour from the space and poured some of each. After estimating that the amount was about the same as the bag of Sanhe noodles that the official gave her, Jiang Tangtang hurriedly Pour the remaining three-height noodles into the flour bag and put them into the space.
Before Yan came in when he landed, he quickly made noodles.
When making the dough, I secretly cracked two eggs into it and quickly threw the eggshells into the space.
When Lu Shiyan came back from washing the dishes, her dough had already been kneaded. Although she secretly added a lot of good things to it, because the dough was already kneaded and Lu Shiyan didn't know how to cook, she didn't notice anything wrong.
"Help me light the fire! Can you do it?" Jiang Tangtang took the radish leaves, put them on the cutting board and started cutting them.
"Yes!" Although Lu Shiyan was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he went to the battlefield at the age of fifteen, experienced life and death several times, and now has experienced exile. This kind of thing is not difficult for him.
Seeing that he was cooking well, Jiang Tangtang felt that this helper was not bad. She quickly mixed the chopped radish leaves and various noodles evenly, then made the steamed buns and steamed them in the steamer.
In order to rush for time, Jiang Tangtang made a big hole in the middle of his buns. This makes it easier to cook.
But even so, the steamed wowotou had just been steamed when the official called to leave. The two of them hurriedly put the hot steamed buns into cloth bags and hurried on, without any time to eat.
When Mrs. Chen saw it, she gloated: "Some people are just like this. They like to be strong at all times. Even if they do it themselves, they even drag their mother to do it with them. Now, it's great. At such an old age, my mother can't even get a mouthful of dry food in the morning. We haven't even eaten yet, and we still have to walk for a day, but what should we do!"
When the official was distributing dry rations just now, she heard that Jiang Tangtang had asked for the rations from the main house and wanted to cook them herself, which made her feel dissatisfied.
But seeing Jiang Tangtang working so hard but still not eating it, the dissatisfaction in his heart dissipated instantly.
Not only the Chen family, but also several aristocratic families who were exiled nearby also secretly gloated in their hearts.
In the past two days, they had watched Jiang Tangtang, a fat woman, pick wild fruits, dig yams, and cook to please the officials. The officials who were originally very unhappy with her now gave her a good look. They had long been unhappy. So happy.
It's fine now. I'm so busy that I haven't eaten yet!
Even Lu Zhixi rubbed his belly and glared at Jiang Tangtang hatefully, "It's all your fault for showing off, I'm going to starve to death!" "
Zhixi!" Lu Shiyan said coldly: "Apologise to your sister-in-law!"
"You You actually hurt me because of her!" Lu Zhixi has grown up and has never seen her eldest brother be so cruel to her. She immediately cried aggrievedly: "Besides, what kind of sister-in-law is she? If she hadn't been shameless and drugged you to taint you, , came to the house with the child in her belly and insisted on you marrying her, will we become the laughing stock of the entire capital?"
Lu Shiyan's eyes darkened and he said coldly: "That's because I did something wrong, not her fault. Apologize to your sister-in-law!"
Lu Zhixi choked up and said loudly: "I won't!"
After saying that, he turned around and ran away.
"Zhixi!" Mrs. Su glanced at her son disapprovingly, sighed, and ran after her daughter.
"Brother!" Lu Shili clenched his fists, looked at Lu Shiyan with disappointment and said, "You have changed!" After saying that, he ran away angrily.
"They are ignorant! Don't take what they say to heart." Lu Shiyan looked down at Jiang Tangtang and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, you... don't be angry!"
Jiang Tangtang said indifferently: "It's not your fault, you and I What are you apologizing for? Besides, I'm not angry!"
Since they don't want to eat what she cooks, they can just ask the officials to continue giving them dry food at night!
What does she have to be angry about?
However, she is still so kind! Gotta change it!
