Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 354.

Without this jade, Li Zhen's mind became much more at ease.

There is no sense of crisis that there is a bomb in his arms that may detonate at any time.

comfortable.

"Goooooooo~"

After waiting in the kitchen for a while, a large pot of water was already bubbling.

He directly moved the wooden bucket in, poured all the hot water into the wooden bucket one by one, and piled up two large buckets of cold water.

After ensuring that the water temperature was controlled at a lukewarm level, he poured two more buckets of water into the pot to prepare for washing himself, and then jumped directly into the bucket.

ho~
Comfortable.

Narrowing his eyes comfortably, he leaned against the bucket.

After soaking for a while, he began to wipe his body with a linen cloth.

While it was being wiped, there was a sound outside:
"gentlemen?"

"Eh!~"

Li Zhen responded.

The kitchen door was pushed open, and an orange with a red nose came in.

There was also a small jar in his hand.

After seeing Li Zhen soaking in the wooden barrel, a look of joy appeared on the child's face:
"Sure enough, Mr. is back!"

"Haha~"

Li Zhen smiled happily:

"I also said to find you after taking a shower...how did you find it?"

"Hey, I heard from the customers at the stall that you appeared at the south gate to show your sanctity, sir, so I came here...Sir, this year my mother set up a stall to sell meat porridge at the door of our house...just...the one I learned from Mr. ..."

"what?"

Before Liu Ding finished speaking, Li Zhen was suddenly stunned:
"……preserved egg?!"

Liu Ding nodded:
"Ok!"

preserved egg.

It should be regarded as Li Zhen's original work.

The cause was eating one day.

Li Zhen no longer cares about the meals at Chunyou Club.

They all gave Liu Ding the money the night before, and then Liu Ding came back with a basket of vegetables the next morning.

He gave a lot of money, and he was rich enough to buy meat and wine.But this kid is very sensible, and he never eats extravagantly, and he will report to Li Zhen every day, the price of meat today, the price of rice, how much meat he bought, how much rice he bought, how much he spent, and so on.After finishing speaking, give the rest of the money to Li Zhen.

Report the account clearly.

Mr. Dayou means that you can go to the market to ask questions at any time.

But Li Zhen never asked about such things.

No matter what this kid offers with or without moisture.

As the old saying goes, if a cook does not steal, he does not reap grain.Although this statement is disrespectful to the chef industry, it is a bit rough, which is normal in Li Zhen's view.

When he was a child, it was time to eat in the canteen of the institution, but because everyone was in the same compound, Li Zhen had seen the elders who worked in the canteen bring things back many times.

To be more coarse, salt, sugar, soy sauce... To be more specific... Li Zhen has seen many times with his own eyes that when the dough is left at the end, the master in the cafeteria pats the dough into dough pieces and spreads them on his own. Inside the towel on the shoulders, then folded the towels in two, and hung a bag of dough on the shoulders to go home to add a meal to the family.

This is not something unacceptable in his eyes.

Children who grew up in that era know the hardships of that era.

Although there is no planned economy and the food stamp rationing is so exaggerated, the generation of children when it was just opened did not grow up in a materially rich childhood.

I especially remember that I don’t even eat lean meat when I eat meat, because there is no oil in my stomach, so I have to pick fat meat...

If you want to keep a piece of fatter pork belly during the holidays, you have to give gifts to the people in the supply and marketing cooperative.

So normal.

And this child is also a typical fat thinking.

The husband said to buy mutton, you must get up early and pick the fattest ones to buy.

The fatter the better.

Because it is the same in his concept.

Mutton fat, with suet.

Eating meat with meat, and eating meat without meat, with mutton fat and salt, are better than ordinary meals.

This caused Li Zhen to feel really tired after eating the big fat strips for two days in a row. One morning, he planned to cook porridge and eat pickles to clear his mouth.

And when that day came, before the Spring Friends Club started, he and Liu Ding were eating and chatting.

Liu Ding likes to hear her husband talk idle.

There are all kinds of affairs in the rivers and lakes, and all kinds of human feelings.

Then we chatted and chatted, and for some reason, we talked about the recipe of this porridge.

Li Zhen said that she would eat the so-called "preserved egg and lean meat porridge" in the morning.

Liu Ding didn't know what preserved eggs were, so Li Zhen explained to him what to do with eggs, plant ash, quicklime, and salt water.

At first, the child was dubious, but he couldn't hold back what Li Zhen said was too true.

He asked Li Zhen if he could try it.

After all... this is the "secret recipe" given by my husband.

Li Zhen didn't think there was anything wrong, and personally told him the proportion of yellow preserved eggs.

Black preserved eggs have to go through an alkaline procedure, which is not available in this era.But quicklime is already rotten.

But at that time, I just raised my mouth... Who knows...

"Is this done?"

His eyes were full of surprise.

Liu Ding smiled a little embarrassed...

Although this method was taught by my husband, my mother set up a stall without my husband's consent... It's always inappropriate.

So he nodded quickly and lifted the jar:
"Sir, this is the meat porridge my mother asked me to bring to you, please try it."

"Okay, okay. Let it go first, I'll eat after I come out."

"Mmm... sir, I'm sorry, little one!"

"……what?"

Seeing the child who suddenly bowed and changed his address, Li Zhen, who was sitting in the bathtub, was a little puzzled:

"What's the matter?"

"After trying to make preserved eggs successfully, I cooked porridge according to my husband's method. I found it very delicious...I asked my mother to start a business without my husband's consent...It's my mistake! Please punish me!"

"Uh……"

Looking at the bowing child, Li Zhen couldn't laugh or cry:

"Hey~ okay, okay, get up quickly. I thought what was going on."

The child's father went to conquer Korea and did not come back.For orphans and widows, it is not easy for Liu Dingniang to pull the children. Although the family has divided the property, if people do not support themselves, they will sit and eat.

So his mother made bamboo baskets for people.

I can't make much money, but with the rent of the land, it is enough to feed the family.

And now...

"How is business?"

"Very...very good!"

After hesitating for a while, the child told the truth:

"At first, everyone didn't know what it was, but after the neighbors came over to eat it once, they fell in love with it! They even asked what the flavorful thing in the bowl was...but my mother wouldn't let me tell, even the porridge It’s not called preserved egg and lean meat porridge, but meat porridge! The preserved eggs are cut into cubes at night, put them in pots, and sell them the next morning!
Business... really good!One bowl of Qiwen, these days, more than 100 bowls can be sold in a day!After deducting the cost, there will be nearly [-] cash a day... Mother... Mother said that the husband is so kind and virtuous that he can't repay him. It's just... It's just sold, please wait, sir. Send me some money..."

"Hahaha~"

Hearing this, Li Zhen felt... This should be the best news he has heard this year.

Not because of money.

It's because of what you did.

He didn't make trouble, and he didn't mess around. He really did a good deed.

So he waved his hand directly:
"Don't worry about money, your husband, do I seem to be the greedy person?"

"No! Mother said..."

"Orange!"

After interrupting the child, Li Zhen picked up the sackcloth and handed it to him.

Liu Ding sensiblely put the jar by the stove to keep it warm, took the linen cloth and began to wipe his back.

"You have younger brothers and sisters. The younger sister wants a dowry. Doesn't the younger brother say he is smart? With this money, he can buy books and paper. Then hire a gentleman to teach him to read and read, and he may be able to read in the future." Exam to be a scholar. Sir, my daily income is more than half a month’s worth of porridge sold by your family. So, I don’t want this money, sir. Your father died early, and it’s not easy for your mother to pull your brothers and sisters to grow up. It’s a good thing to have a family heirloom so easily... Well, this matter is settled, don’t argue any more. Oh right... Then what are you still doing here? "

"Of course I will!"

Liu Ding was relieved when Li Zhen said that he didn't want money.

After hearing this, Li Zhen smiled slightly.

He is not surprised.

Man, that's actually it.

On his side, money, he doesn't care.But the other party must show an attitude.You give it, I don't want it, this is a truth.

And if you pretend to be confused if you don't mention it, it's another reason.

The same goes for Liu Ding's house.When the other party says "I want to give money", it means that they are ready, know where the money comes from, and know that the money is to be given.

If you don't give it, your hard work is very rewarding.And if you give it, although you will lose some, it is also reasonable.

And now the result is that everyone feels comfortable.

It's true that Liu Ding has a good character and a down-to-earth temper.

But at the same time, he also has to think about his own family.

Human nature.

A half-grown child, and not a saint... It's enough to have this thought.

"My mother said... the husband is very kind to my family, a great kindness! There are also university questions! Let me follow my husband steadily!... But that was before..."

"Ok?"

The Taoist who was lying on his stomach and enjoying it was a little puzzled:

"Before? Then now..."

"...Sir, can I worship you as my teacher?"

"..."

Li Zhen, who was lying on the edge of the barrel, opened his eyes a little.

After thinking about it, he asked:

"What do you want to learn?"

"I……"

Liu Ding hesitated and said:

"In the past few days...it's been rumored that Mister is a real martial artist who came down to earth...with great ability! It's...a real king who descended into the world, blessed... the world..."

Li Zhen closed his eyes again.

Listening to Liu Ding's compliment...he felt that Liu Ding didn't say it himself.

Among other things, Li Zhen, who has been with him for more than a month, would not believe that a child who has never read a book can say words such as "blessing", "helping the world with kindness", and "compassion for all living beings".

This word, has been taught.

but……

"Liudin."

"If you can be enlightened by Mr.... huh?"

"Sir, I also have a teacher. And my teacher is preaching to people in the palace now. If I want to accept disciples, I need to get the teacher's consent. If the teacher wants to agree, I must ask His Majesty... Do you understand?"

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?"

"Ah."

Hearing the panicked voice behind him, Li Zhen nodded:
"Besides, sir, I...don't accept male disciples."

"……Uh……"

"Let's see in the future. If there is a suitable senior, I will help you to ask. But apprenticeship is about fate, and you can't force it... So, do you really know?"

"This... well..."

Hearing the sadness in the voice, Li Zhen sighed inwardly.

He really hoped that this child would be a child with his own mind.

For example, today I said the words "I want to learn about books with my husband"...

pity……

Your mother is very bitter.

Already lost her husband.

As a woman, she had a hard time.

Seeing that this life has hope.

Then let her, let your brother, sister...

Your family... live happily ever after.

Because ignorance is not happiness?

As a bystander, sir, I also don't want to see you make a mistake one day and die as a foreigner.

The matter of cultivators...

After all, it was too dirty.
