Chapter 12 Hard pancake

Roast chicken cannot be left out, otherwise it will go rancid. It has been a long time since Bailu was delivered, and it will go bad if you don't eat it.

Summer is hot. If there is no refrigerator, food will easily deteriorate if left at room temperature, not to mention that the roast chicken has been kept in the bag for most of the day. Jiang Zhimiao opened the oil paper and smelled it, then tore off a small piece to taste. If you taste it and don't taste any peculiar smell, you can still eat it.

Two roast chickens were more than enough for four people. Seeing Jiang Zhimiao's mouth dripping with oil after eating, Xu Yourong originally wanted to remind him that he was just suffering from a serious illness and should not eat so greasy, but then he thought about it, food is in short supply now, and his stomach is full of food. She couldn't walk dozens of miles a day without oil. She sighed and finally chose to compromise.

On the first day of his exile, most of his relatives and friends came to see him off. They had everything from banknotes to food, and some food was more exquisite than roasted chicken. They drooled with envy when they looked at the roasted chicken, which was so oily that it was roasted.

The exile team is huge and there are many government officials. They are already used to this kind of behavior. As long as they don't cause trouble, they basically turn a blind eye.

Even though these people are all lost dogs, the skinny camel is bigger than a horse. They are watching. The baggage is so big, there must be a lot of money, and they are just hoping to make some money.

Some people couldn't help but wanted to grab it, but after being warned by the officer's eyes, they didn't dare to do anything wrong.

The people of the Jiang family completely scorned the roast chicken in the hands of Jiang Zhimiao and others. The food in their hands was much better than the roast chicken, and there was no need to covet the roast chicken from a concubine.

The mother-in-law's natal family is not a vegetarian. Even if the daughter of the family is exiled due to political reasons and cannot see her off, it does not mean that she cannot let others see her off.

Therefore, the members of the Jiang family can indeed be said to be extremely rich. The money in their hands would not be enough for an ordinary person to eat in a lifetime, let alone how many people can eat it.

Halfway through eating the roast chicken, Jiang Zhimiao heard a noise. Jiang Zhimiao looked up and saw the Yamen servant shouting to get food. He quickly put down the roast chicken in his hand and followed the sound.

The government officials were standing in front of the temporarily moved tables in the yard, lining up and distributing the prepared food to everyone.

Although they had carriages and horses to carry food, the hot weather made it inconvenient to bring fresh food, so they could only bring food that was easy to make and not susceptible to rot and moisture.

What the prisoners eat is a kind of food called hard pancakes. There are no tricks. They are just mixed with some multigrain brown rice and black flour. They can be eaten after they are cooked. They are not susceptible to moisture, are hard, and have a long shelf life.

The prepared hard pancakes can still be eaten within three to five days, so they often prepare three to five days' rations in advance and wait until they are finished. This can save a lot of trouble.

After Jiang Zhimiao heard the yamen's shouts, he asked Xu Yourong to look at some pearls and Minghuai, and then went to line up to get food.

After all, no matter how small a fly is, it is still meat, and no matter how unpalatable it is, it will not be as unpalatable as the one in a prison.

The queue was not long, and it took less than a stick of incense to reach Jiang Zhimiao. The standard for distributing hard cakes was: three adult men, two half-grown children and women, and one child.

Although the quantity is okay, the pancakes are not big, and the portion given out is only enough to fill you up.

This seventy-eight percent fullness is due to the fact that the pancake is too hard and the texture is too hard, so you must chew slowly when eating. The slow eating process will make people secrete more saliva when chewing, which ultimately creates a feeling of fullness. illusion.

The daily consumption of dozens of miles is far more than a few half-sized pancakes can make up for. However, eating something is better than eating nothing. Even if they are not full, they have no right to dislike it.

Although things happened too suddenly, they knew one thing, that is, prisoners were not qualified to make demands in front of officials.

Wang Wu, the yamen servant who distributed the rations, took Jiang Zhimiao's case from the basket without squinting and put it directly in her hand.He had an impression of this girl. She looked frail but walked with great strength. She held two babies and carried a big bag and walked steadily without losing her breath.

She is really a good candidate for practicing martial arts, but it is a pity that she is a woman and a prisoner. If a man wanted to, he would definitely be able to make a name for himself in the military camp.

Just as he was about to call the next one, the girl raised her head and looked at him, wanting to take away her family's share, which surprised Wang Wu.

It's not surprising that Wang Wu was surprised. He was so tall and dark-faced that ordinary prisoners didn't dare to look at him.

Who would have thought that she would be so courageous, she looked at him with a straight face, and he said that she was a good martial artist, courageous, and stable. It was a pity, a pity.

After asking the name and number of people as usual, he circled the corresponding place on the book and gave the cake to her.

Only sixty-seven out of ten people on the list came to receive the pancakes. They didn't care about this. They were also given out. If you don't come to receive them, you can't blame others.

They have always turned a blind eye to the things in the hands of prisoners. As long as they don't cause trouble, they will naturally not withhold anything. After all, their mission is only to escort these prisoners to the Far North, regardless of These prisoners are treated equally here regardless of their previous mistakes.

After all, Hedong has been in Hedong for 30 years, and Hexi has been in Hexi for 30 years. If they have a chance to turn around in the future, they will be the ones who suffer.

The royal family of this dynasty is a bloody example before our eyes.

Those government officials who had suppressed them excessively on the road to exile were all executed one by one, not even their bodies were left intact.

Nowadays, this group of government officials have undergone a major change, so naturally no one dares to do anything to suppress prisoners excessively.

In short, since that incident, Daxu State has been extremely strict with the prisoners in exile, but at the same time, it will also give the prisoners a certain degree of freedom. For example, when sleeping, the shackles will be removed and only the shackles will be worn.

Jiang Zhimiao took the hard cake and walked straight towards Xu Yourong and the others.

As soon as I sat down and was about to put the hard pancakes into my bag, I didn't expect that the two dolls saw them and insisted on trying them.

Jiang Zhimiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw this, so he broke off two small pieces and handed them to them, and told them that the pancakes were very hard and they must be eaten in small bites.

Then she picked up the unfinished roast chicken and continued to eat. Unexpectedly, before she had even taken two bites, Mingzhu started crying aggrievedly.

She held the hard pancake, curled her little mouth, and looked at her aggrievedly. Her watery eyes were filled with crystal clear tears, which were about to fall, which was very pitiful.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Zhimiao felt like he had received a knowing blow, and his whole body was transformed into cuteness.

Let me ask, who can withstand the attack of a cute baby?

At least, Jiang Zhimiao couldn't do it. She could resist lightning strikes, but she couldn't withstand the attack of a cute baby.
