Chapter 70: Chapter 68 If the Duke Does Not Abandon

The chef looked at Jiang Xiao with a playful expression but managed to hold back the rage inside.

"Or, you can make do with this for now, and I’ll prepare something delicious for you tomorrow, how’s that?"

"Fuck your mother’s fart!"

Jiang Xiao pointed at the gigantic menu above the cafeteria.

"It’s Sunday today, and even our illiterate Old Li can tell what we’re supposed to eat! What? Can’t you read, or are you telling me you can’t even fried dishes by looking at the pictures?"

"You’re supposed to prepare braised pork and stew some potatoes. If all you have is moldy rice, send someone out to buy ingredients now. In the meantime, make some plain wheat buns for everyone to get by with a few bites!"

What?

You spout all that with your tiny mouth, thinking I should just get exhausted and work like a dog?

Just get by with a few bites?

Go get by with your @#￥%!

The chef threw the ladle with a gesture that meant ’do whatever the hell you want, eat if you want, or leave it if you don’t.’

The atmosphere tensed up.

Soon after, a frail female prisoner swallowed saliva.

She stepped forward to pick up the spoon that the chef had thrown down and went to the basin full of spoiled food.

Although...but...

If we don’t eat, we’ll have nothing, and we still have to work in the afternoon.

How can we meet the quotas on an empty stomach?

Seeing her move, quite a few other prisoners also gathered around.

Well, let’s eat~

After all, we are used to this kind of life day after day.

At that sight, Jiang Xiao’s eyebrows shot up immediately!

"Put the spoon down! None of you are allowed to eat! Didn’t I just tell you this morning, ’Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, dogs travel thousands of miles to eat shit!’ What are you eating now!"

The female prisoner got startled by Jiang Xiao and put the spoon back with a look of grievance.

What’s going on?

You won’t eat and you won’t let us eat?

You’re high and mighty, you’re incredible, you’re the elevated warden...

Except for the three-person group.

Now the prisoners in Area A all had some complaints about Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao once again turned his spearhead towards the greasy chef.

"What? A warden like me can’t give orders to a son of a bitch like you?"

"They’re prisoners, but that’s no excuse for you to strip them of their human rights! Even I was only against giving preferential treatment to POWs, not feeding them this rotten shit that not even dogs would eat! Speak! Are you guys corrupt or not!"

The chef, fat-brained as he was, still acted as if nothing could touch him, like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water.

"You really can’t order me around. I report directly to the deputy warden, and also, I’m the only one in the cafeteria, so I can’t manage everything. How am I supposed to prepare good food?"

"Oh? So you mean you have all the ingredients, just not enough hands, is that it?"

The chef crossed his arms and nodded arrogantly.

"That’s right, I have the ingredients, but I’m the only cook, so what can you do?"

Could it be that you plan to personally...

"Get a few who know how to cook, come with me to the kitchen!"

What?

Everyone was taken aback, somewhat disbelieving what Jiang Xiao had said.

But Zhen Meili, with a hood on her head, was already standing behind Jiang Xiao.

She knew how to cook!

These prisoners from Area A even made Jiang Xiao feel that burning frustration of ’hating iron for not being steel’.

"Look at you all, so spinelessly compliant! Not one of you is acting like a man, worse than a woman! What are you afraid of, haven’t I taken responsibility for you?"

With someone taking the lead, and the warden offering assurances,

Several more prisoners stepped forward, including the frail girl who had wanted to get her meal.

"Let’s go! Today I’ll treat you to braised pork!"

Braised pork!

Just the name already made the prisoners swallow their saliva hard.

Ever since they arrived at Hengshui.

Not to mention meat, they hadn’t even seen a bit of fat.

The best thing they had ever eaten was food that hadn’t spoiled, fermented, or gone rancid...

"Do you dare!"

The chef bared his teeth in an attempt to stop them.

"Watch me fucking dare!"

There was no need for Jiang Xiao to lift a finger, as both Zhang Dabiao and Scar-faced had already blocked the chef.

[The Deputy Prison Director said, in this prison, apart from him and the Prison Director, no one could suppress the felons of Area B]

That naturally included the chef!

Jiang Xiao, walking confidently, led five people straight into the kitchen.

Good lord...

The pantry in the cafeteria was clearly stocked full of meat and vegetables.

But he deliberately chose the spoiled food to make lunch for the prisoners!

So, not only was this chef intentionally mistreating the prisoners, he also expected Jiang Xiao to eat rotten vegetables along with them?

No wonder he looked like he was dripping with grease; this was definitely corruption!

"Warden...can we start now?"

The girl swallowed nervously and spoke.

She couldn’t care less now; she just wanted to turn all the ingredients before her into food in her stomach!

Even if it meant being punished to death later on, she’d accept it!

"Ha! Look at your greedy little face! Let’s get started."

Staring at the dishes in front of him, Jiang Xiao couldn’t help but reminisce about Sun Wei...

That lady might have looked somewhat aloof, but her culinary skills were indeed unquestionable.

At this time, the chef outside was getting anxious.

That was the meat reserved for the two Prison Directors and himself for the coming week.

Allowing these sixty-one people to feast themselves to death, would there be even a pig hair left in the end?

If this were investigated, he would be punished too!

"Prison guard! Where’s the prison guard? There’s a disturbance!"

Prison guard?

The prison guard had "left" the canteen knowing better early on.

If even the warden, Jiang Xiao, ate the same as the inmates, it went without saying for the prison guards.

They had finally found an opportunity to improve their own meals, and they certainly had the sense to see that.

Damn it!

With no other choice, the chef pressed the alarm button in his pocket; the siren went directly to the Deputy Prison Director’s office.

But unfortunately...

The Deputy Prison Director had already left his office to report to the real boss of Hengshui Prison.

Yes, it was about Jiang Xiao’s exam paper.

Zero points.

And both ludicrous and absurd.

The matter of Zhang Dabiao going out to sea made Li Bing think this text could only exist in the heavens.

Although he didn’t know who he was, just by the name, he could tell he wasn’t any ordinary firecracker.

By right, this should merit severe punishment, but the Deputy Prison Director...

Thinking about the bruised Trio from Block B, he felt somewhat uneasy—what if he couldn’t beat Jiang Xiao?

"It’s better to report this anyway, after all, he was sent by the higher-ups, it should be his call to make..."

On Jiang Xiao’s side, the food was almost ready to come out of the kitchen, the big chunks of braised meat went straight into the pressure cooker.

Several inmates even scooped out a bowl for themselves while the rice was still half-cooked.

Were it not for Jiang Xiao holding them back, they would probably have stuffed themselves full with just the rice.

’Dong dong dong~’

"Come in~"

The Deputy Prison Director pushed the door open and saw the virtuous-looking Prison Director and a woman with a blushing face.

Previously, there were no female staff in the prison, only four female inmates.

The first thing this Prison Director did when he arrived was to recruit a civilian secretary.

Those who know, know~

"Li ah, what’s the matter, looking for me? Aren’t you able to handle everything in the prison single-handedly?"

"Prison Director, it’s like this, the new warden who came this morning seems a bit off."

"Go, go, go~"

Before he could finish speaking, the Deputy Prison Director was shooed out.

"What’s wrong with being off, what big waves can they make? Don’t bother me with such trivialities!"

Helpless, the Deputy Prison Director decided to go see Jiang Xiao himself.

Meanwhile, in the room, the Prison Director lecherously pulled the woman back into his arms.

"Ah!"

Caught off guard, the woman let out a startled cry.

"The Deputy Prison Director isn’t far away. Aren’t you going to check on this warden? It doesn’t sound like Li Bing is joking."

"Hey! It’s nothing, I’ve roamed the jianghu for so long, the only time I slipped up was... in a gutter."

Seemingly remembering an unpleasant memory, the Prison Director shuddered violently and shook his head.

"Forget it, forget it, let’s not bring it up. I think that Li, he just doesn’t really accept the warden I’ve appointed. He’s trying to give me trouble over nothing."

Hearing the Prison Director say this, the woman didn’t bring it up again.

It’s just a pity that Jiang Xiao wasn’t there.

Otherwise, he would surely be surprised why this "old acquaintance" could make it here.

...

And on the way back to his office, Li Bing had already kicked off the crafting session with Jiang Xiao leading the inmates...

No sophisticated cooking skills, just meat!

Fist-size chunks of braised meat.

No longer caring whether it was flavored enough, they just couldn’t wait a minute, not even a second longer!

Almost every inmate just grabbed it and gnawed away!

With each bite, the greasy juice would run down the corners of their mouths onto their wrists, the soup-soaked pieces of meat bursting with juice.

Those scalding hot potatoes were also grabbed and gnawed on directly with their hands.

Many, due to grabbing too forcefully, turned the chunks of potato into mashed potato on the spot.

When they got to the delicious rice.

They cried while eating, really cried...

Previously, many inmates with grievances put their differences aside.

They huddled together like lunatics, crying and eating at the same time.

Daguang was always the most loyal, and even as he tearfully tore at the braised meat, he didn’t stop himself from getting on his knees.

"I’ve drifted half my life, lamenting that I’ve never met a true leader. Today, if you would not disdain me, I’m willing to swear you as my foster father!"

His voice was sincere, his attitude resolute, which stunned the rest of the inmates.

They were still thinking about how to express their gratitude to Jiang Xiao for bringing them this meal.

There goes Daguang, kneeling down and calling him ’Dad’. Seriously?

Too much bootlicking, huh?!!

Over the top, this move was really over the top...
