Chapter-47: old lady lark was punished to walk for a day
Old lady Lark's eyes went dark and she almost fainted. She wanted to die! But she didn't dare disobey, so she had to get off the car and walk. After walking for a while, she was panting, sweating profusely, and begging for mercy.
She had been in jail and thought it was the most miserable thing in the world, but now she realizes it is not. The officials ignored her, so she had to take out silver to bribe them. After begging for a long time, she finally got Lord Jeff to give in.
"You can take the bus tomorrow." Old Madam Lark was half worried and half happy, "Then today..."
Zaman Lark winked at her and said, "Mom, stop talking. I'll help you walk."
She challenged other people's authority, and they were determined to teach her a lesson and use her to establish their authority. Old lady Lark had never walked so much before. She fainted several times and was woken up by cold water.
Wake up and keep going, no room for negotiation, unless you die on the road. The fact that she was not spared just because she was old and frail sent chills down the spine of all the exiles.
Never offend the officials! This was the first time that Lord Jeff showed his ruthless side, which frightened the convicts. Old Madam Lark regretted it very much. Why couldn't she control her mouth? But as soon as she saw Wendy Lark, she was furious and wanted to tear her face off.
She once again realized that she was no longer a noble old lady from an official and marquis family, but a lowly exile whose life was worthless and whose death would be in vain.
In the end, she had to rely on her children and grandchildren to support her as she walked the entire distance. Old lady Lark walked with one deep step and one shallow step, her whole body seemed to be floating, and she was numb from the pain.
Seeing the gate of the post station from afar, old lady Lark finally fainted with relief, causing the Lark family to panic. After entering the post station, the official asked for a few ordinary rooms, one for several people.
According to the agreed terms, Wendy Lark can pay for a room herself. She never puts herself in a difficult position and always does whatever makes her feel comfortable.
But they would also be careful not to exceed the official's food and accommodation standards so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. Wendy Lark was called to work in the kitchen before she had time to wash up.
She washed her hands clean, tied her hair up, and every move she made exuded solemnity. It's a sense of ritual. The cook couldn't say what it was, but he was shocked inside. The peanuts and sesame seeds were ready.
Wendy Lark started by making the sweet snack from before while teaching Wilson and Tom Lark how to make it. The two of them listened very attentively, and Wilson Lark was even repeating himself, fearing that he would forget.
Wilson Lark is good at carpentry and has very dexterous hands. He was a little clumsy at first, but he always completed what Wendy Lark asked him to do, even though the process is not smooth.
Tom Lark was far worse. His hands were not as flexible and sometimes he even made things worse. Wendy Lark simply sent him to make a fire. It takes twenty minutes to stir-fry the flour, and both hands cannot stop.
It is a delicate job. Wendy Lark stir fried for a while and then handed it to Wilson lark. There is no technical content in this. If you want to make it delicious, the key is the heat and proportion of frying.
Wendy Lark can control this throughout the process and she started to cook dinner, which had fresh pork belly and eggs, so she made a dish of braised pork and eggs.
The officials were all from poor backgrounds, and had to travel long and physically demanding distances, so they liked to eat meat dishes to replenish their energy.
They did not need overly complicated and sophisticated dishes and heavy flavored home-cooked meals were more suitable for them. Wash the pork belly and put it in cold water, then add wild ginger and green onions.
But unfortunately there is no cooking wine in this world at this moment. "Brother, light the fire."
In fact, making a fire is also a technical job. It was Tom Lark's first time doing it, and the cook helped him to make the fire. When the meat is cooked, take it out and cut it into small square pieces, each piece is about the same size.
The eggs are also boiled, peeled and set aside. Put sugar into a hot pan and stir fry on low heat. When it turns into caramel color, pour in the pork belly and stir-fry. It will be colored in a short while.
Add ginger, scallions, cinnamon, peppercorns and other ingredients and stir fry until fragrant. Pour water in. The water should cover the pork belly. Then put the round eggs in. Then she covered the pot, brought to a boil over high heat, and then simmered on low heat.
The aroma of the meat came out little by little. Taking advantage of this break, she stir fried a pot of vegetables. The braised pork was too greasy, so she paired it with a vegetarian dish. The combination of meat and vegetables was the most reasonable.
When the vegetables are out of the pot, they are green and look very tempting. Deputy Captain Luke came in following the smell and was stunned when he saw the vegetables.
He only liked to eat meat and not vegetables, but when he saw this plate of vegetables, he couldn't help swallowing saliva few times looking at the dishes. "I'll help with the food tasting."
