Mountain Miscellaneous

Chapter 26

A plate of scrambled eggs with leeks is placed on the table, exuding a tempting aroma.

Every leaf reflects the green light, fresher than the bamboo leaves after the rain.

"Old man, you can eat enough when you breathe in, you're not a fairy!" Liu Cuie said to Li Dahai who was lying on his stomach and smelling the fragrance of vegetables.

"How come there is a unique fragrance besides the fragrance of leeks and eggs?" Li Dahai murmured.

"What are you doing with so much fuss? The vegetables grown by Qingwa are naturally pollution-free!" Liu Cuie glanced at Li Dahai and said.

"Hey, don't tell me this leek is really tender! Take a bite, the leek juice will splash out and fuse with the warm egg yolk, combining the flavors of leek and egg yolk perfectly, it's very good!"

Li Dahai has never liked to talk, and he praised and commented for the first time with his brows and eyes widened.

"You are heartless, I have cooked for you for decades, I have never seen you boast like this!", Liu Cuie said aside.

"Mom, don't patronize and talk, you should try it too!" Li Changqing said with a smile.

"Okay, try the leek scrambled eggs made from the chives grown by Qingwa, what's the difference!" Liu Cuie also laughed.

"How?" Li Changqing asked.

"Your leeks are really different. They are tender and spicy and not hard to chew at all!" Liu Cui'e was full of praise while eating.

"Haha...there are too many. If you want to eat, go to Zhong Nanshan to cut it!" Li Changqing smiled happily.

It is worth it to Li Changqing if the family eats happily.

What's more, the value of leeks is not its taste, but the benefits to the human body.

Leek can not only strengthen the yang, nourish the kidney, nourish the liver and strengthen the stomach, but also have the effects of regulating the intestinal tract, preventing cancer, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.

The morning light shines on the vast green leek leaves, and the dew on the leaves shines crystal clear.

Li Changqing carefully harvested leeks under Zhongnan Mountain with two snakeskin bags, for fear of hurting the roots of the leeks.

The two snakeskin bags were filled quickly, and Li Changqing carried them back home.

After Li Changqing tied up the two bags of leeks, he rode a broken motorcycle to the city again.

The Dongfeng vegetable market on the Jinshui River embankment, Li Changqing saved people here when he came to buy leek seeds last time.

It once aroused heated discussions, but the information in this era is updated too fast, and people have gradually forgotten it in the past ten days.

The entire Jinshui River embankment is full of vegetable sellers, and someone occupies a slightly conspicuous position!

Li Changqing didn't care, he parked the car in an inconspicuous corner, and spread out the leeks.

"My fellow, do you have any green peppers here?" A middle-aged woman asked with a bag.

"No!" Li Changqing smiled.

The flow of people is very small, and they still buy green peppers...

"My fellow, your leeks look very tender, how did you sell them?"

"Fifty!"

"So many fifty?"

"No, fifty a catty!"

"Others sell it for three yuan a catty, but you sell it for fifty?"

"My dishes are worth fifty!"

"You're sick!"

……

The visitor glanced at Li Changqing with the eyes of a madman, and left quickly.

"Little brother, this is not how vegetables are sold! The vegetables grown by us country people have the advantage of being pollution-free and free of stall fees. They are a little cheaper than those in the vegetable market, and they are very easy to sell!" said a man from not far from Li Changqing. The middle-aged vegetable seller with stubble on his face reminded him kindly.

"Hehe, thank you brother for your suggestion, but my dish is really worth fifty!" Li Changqing said with a smile to the man.

Seeing that Li Changqing didn't listen to persuasion, the middle-aged man didn't say anything.

Facing the noisy vegetable market, Li Changqing thought of two lines of poems in Tao Yuanming's "Drinking Wine".

Settled in the human world, without chaos.

Ask your Lord He Neng'er, far away from yourself.

It probably means that living in a bustling street market where crowds gather, but has never been bothered by the noise of cars and horses.If you want to ask me how can I be so extraordinary and free and easy, my mind is far away from the mundane, natural and quiet.

There used to be a great man who read books in the downtown area, and Li Changqing seemed to think that reading in the downtown area was more enjoyable than reading books.

"Don't worry about scarcity but worry about inequality, don't worry about poverty but worry about uneasiness."

"People with lofty ideals and benevolent people do not seek life to harm benevolence, but kill lives to achieve benevolence."

"If you don't get angry, don't open up, if you don't complain, don't express; if you take one corner and don't use three corners to counter it, then there will be no more."

……

In the crowded vegetable market, Li Changqing stood quietly in the middle of the bustling market and recited the Analects of Confucius.

The voice of the book is cadenced and impassioned. Even a scholar who has never read it can understand the meaning of the words through the atmosphere rendered by Li Changqing.

At this time, even Li Changqing was wearing old clothes full of mud and a yellowed straw hat on his head.

But looking from a distance, it seems to be floating, as if left alone in the world, becoming immortal and ascending to immortality.

Soon a crowd of onlookers gathered, and the strange thing was that no one spoke or took pictures with their mobile phones, so they quietly closed their eyes and listened to Li Changqing's reading.

"The Analects of Confucius" itself is not long, and Li Changqing finished it in a short time!
"Everyone, do you want to buy food?"

Li Changqing smiled and asked lightly.

"Huh, fellow, you read so well! I'm fascinated by it!"

"We haven't read it in elementary school, so I don't know how to use words to describe the books that my fellow countrymen read, but we really understand it!"

"Hey, what a pity! Just now I finished immersing myself in the sound of the fellow reading, and forgot to record a small video to go back and listen to!"

……

The audience was still full of ideas, chatting in a hurry, hoping that Li Changqing could read it again.

"Let me tell you, my fellow villagers are here to sell vegetables, not just to read for you!"

"Yes, yes, just for the sound of the fellow reading just now, I believe that the food of the fellow is definitely not bad, give me a catty!"

"Hehe, my food is not cheap!" Li Changqing said with a smile.

"How expensive are leeks? How much is a catty?"

"Fifty!"

"Ah, fifty? Fifty is fifty, give me half a catty, it's money for Tingshu!"

Li Changqing grabbed a handful of leeks, weighed them, and handed them directly to the man.

"Hey, don't even mention it, my fellow's leeks can feel very tender when you hold them in your hand, as if water will come out with a little more force." The man said in surprise after taking the vegetables.

"I said fellow countryman, the food is a bit expensive, if you read "The Analects of Confucius" for us again, I will buy a catty too!" A man with glasses who looked quite refined said next to him.

"Haha, since everyone likes to listen to my reading, I'll read it again! But my food is indeed not cheap, but there is something expensive about it. You can buy it or not according to your own will!"

Li Changqing smiled and said, why not let more people listen to the teachings of the sage?

"Wealth and honor due to unrighteousness are like floating clouds to me."

"Everyone sees it, and what's more, everyone admires it."

"When I was five out of ten, I was determined to learn; at thirty, I stood up; at forty, I was not confused; at fifty, I knew the destiny; at sixty, my ears were compliant; at seventy, I followed my heart's desire, without exceeding the distance."
