The fat wife is rebellious: she was spoiled by the group on the way to escape famine

"A gentleman's word is as good as gold!" the man answered firmly.

After receiving the promise, Jiang Jinhe stood up:

"Then please take me to see your daily water source."

She was not worried that the other party would go back on his word, because in the minds of the ancients, promises were extremely important, especially for bandit leaders and people in the martial arts world, who believed that it was necessary to keep their words and keep their deeds to maintain their prestige, so as not to lose credibility.

"Okay! Come with me."

Jiang Jinhe was surrounded by the crowd and brought to the edge of the pond.

"This pond is where we get our water. It dried up two years ago, but the recent rains have filled it up, and unexpectedly, the leeches have increased dramatically."

Jiang Jinhe asked in detail about the water source. Looking at the leeches crawling around and tumbling in the water, although he got goose bumps all over his body, he was secretly happy in his heart.

These are not just disgusting bugs, they are also precious medicinal herbs that can resist blood coagulation, prevent and treat fibrosis, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and have a wide range of uses.

The boss frowned and looked at the leech:

"This is the situation, and you have seen it with your own eyes. If you have any good ideas, please tell me."

Jiang Jinhe smiled, having already made up his mind.

"Boss, please don't worry. Could you please send a few people to help me catch some leeches? I need them urgently."

The boss's brows furrowed even more tightly, and he looked reluctant, but he still waved his hand and asked his subordinates to do as they were told.

Although the brothers who came to help were extremely reluctant, they had to obey the boss's orders and had to do it anyway.

Jiang Jinhe carried a jar full of leeches and borrowed the kitchen again.

She asked someone to bring her own package, which contained not only food and herbs, but also various spices that she had carefully collected.

After she sent everyone away, the kitchen became her own stage and she began to deal with the leeches.

She first boiled a large pot of water and without hesitation dumped all the leeches into the boiling water, quickly covering the pot to avoid the churning. This step was to remove the fishy smell and sterilize.

While waiting, Jiang Jinhe added firewood to the stove and looked around the kitchen, hoping to find something useful.

Unfortunately, apart from some cooking oil, there is almost no food that can be eaten directly, and not even some green leafy vegetables.

She forced herself not to imagine whether the pot had ever been used to cook something unspeakable.

Fortunately, the kitchen was clean and tidy, without any disturbing signs.

After blanching, what remains in the pot is protein-rich ingredients.

Jiang Jinhe took them out and cooled them, cleaned them one by one, and cut them into small, even pieces.

Then, she cleaned the pot, took out her favorite seasonings and her secret stash of chili peppers, reheated the oil, and stir-fried the food over high heat.

Since the meat is already blanched, this step only requires a quick seasoning. Soon, the kitchen is filled with an enticing aroma.

The brothers guarding outside couldn't help but twitch their noses.

"Oh my god, what is this? Why does it smell so good?"

"I've never smelled such an alluring fragrance in my life!"

There was a lot of discussion outside, and Jiang Jinhe came out at the right time with a plate of dishes. He walked straight to the boss and handed him a pair of chopsticks for him to taste.

The spicy aroma hits your nose and makes you salivate.

But he had a vague guess in his mind and hesitated for a moment.

Before the boss could take action, the curious people around him were already eager to try.

"Boss, let me try it for you first. I promise it's fine."

Before he could finish his words, his hand had already reached out for the plate, but was blocked by the boss.

Without any hesitation, the boss picked up a piece and put it into his mouth. He was instantly conquered by the spicy taste.

After taking a few bites, he was filled with surprise: "What is this? How can it be so delicious!"

Jiang Jinhe smiled and replied, "They are the leeches you asked people to help catch."

Upon hearing this, the boss almost dropped his chopsticks. He instinctively wanted to vomit, but was still attracted by the delicious food.

The bandits around were also stunned. They regretted it as much as they had disliked leeches in the past.

However, the spicy and fragrant temptation made them drool.

Jiang Jinhe turned around and smiled at everyone, "There's more in the pot, if you're interested, try it."

As soon as the words fell, a brave brother ran to the kitchen, and the others followed suit.

Soon, Jiang Jinhe's spicy leeches became everyone's new favorite.

"I can't believe this disgusting thing can become so delicious!"

"Little guy, leave some for me!"

The kitchen was bustling with activity, and the scene of everyone scrambling for delicious food made Jiang Jinhe smile.

She raised her eyebrows, looked at the leader with a smug look, and asked with a hint of provocation:

"Boss, how does it taste?"

The man laughed heartily and subconsciously raised his hand to pat Jiang Jinhe on the shoulder, but suddenly remembered that she was a woman, so he withdrew his hand and said with a hearty smile:

"Brilliant! Young lady, you really have some tricks up your sleeve! Once you've spoken, it's impossible to take it back. Release your people immediately!"

Jiang Jinhe saw that he was about to give an order and quickly stopped him:

"Don't worry, boss, there's something else to discuss."

The chief ate heartily while mumbling:

"tell me the story."

Seeing that the dishes he cooked were so popular, Jiang Jinhe could not hide his joy and said with a smile:

"There are many leeches in the mountains, and they are also a rare food. Can you give me a few? Just a tiny bit will do."

She raised her pinky finger to indicate that she didn't need much.

The man laughed when he heard this:

"Haha, it's a piece of cake. Just grab whatever you want and have a full meal!"

Jiang Jinhe thanked him happily and made another request:

"I have another request. I'll put my release on hold. I want to pick up a few friends first."

The leader understood and agreed, holding up his chopsticks:

"It's all up to you. I'll send someone to lead the way."

After saying that, he swept away the remaining food on the plate like whirlwind.

At this time, some brave people came forward to ask for food. Jiang Jinhe smiled and left. A small leader showed him the way and tried to please him in every way. He also tried to find out the cooking secrets.

Jiang Jinhe was in a good mood, so he took the opportunity to tease her. The two of them chatted and laughed, and soon they arrived at the dungeon.

Everyone was surprised and delighted to see Jiang Jinhe return safely.

"Miss Jiang! Miss Jiang has returned safely!"

"She's fine, she must be here to save us!"

Jiang Jinhe ignored the others and only gestured for Song Wenqin and a few others close to him to come forward. Although the others longed for freedom, they were intimidated by the sharp blades of the bandits guarding the gate and dared not move.

When they arrived at the door, Jiang Jinhe wanted to lead them out, but those who were not chosen saw this and immediately started arguing, and the peaceful dungeon suddenly became chaotic.

Especially the people from the first and second branches of the Song family:

"Miss Jiang, we are of the same clan. You saved outsiders, so why didn't you save us? You have such a cruel heart!"

Jiang Jinhe smiled bitterly. He was so arrogant that he dared to speak rudely while asking for help.

"You're talking like that, and you still want me to save you? Dream on! Just stay here and wait to become your meal!"

After she finished speaking, she turned around and led her men away. There was a commotion in the prison and some people tried to rush to the door.

"Quiet! Everyone, be quiet now!"
