Chapter 22 Cooking Rice and Meat Mantra
Zhang Youping and his wife heard the voice of the little girl, and quickly comforted Zhang Shicai for a few words, and then prepared to say goodbye and leave, fearing that others would not like the little girl.
"Shicai, then you have a good rest. We have nothing to get. The chickens we feed at home, saved some eggs, you can replenish the nutrition and recover faster. Don't think about some things too much. Living is better than anything else." Zhang Youping put the eggs and money on the cabinet beside Zhang Shicai's bed.
"Brother Ping, you have been injured. Take these things back and make up for them yourself. Recently, relatives and friends have sent me a lot of things. I can't finish them even if I eat them." Zhang Shicai refused to accept Zhang Youping's things.
"This is my and your sister-in-law's wish. Don't dislike it. My injury is not serious and you recover quickly. Be careful not to get infected with the wound. Keep your body well and live a good life in the future." Zhang Youping naturally couldn't really take the things back.
Luo Ximei took out a pack of candies from the jar in the corner of the room. She wrapped it in kraft paper, unzipped the rope, grabbed a few candies from it, and felt that it was a little less, and added two more, and then wrapped the candies again. These days, they used this kind of candies to wrap. The salesmen of the supply and marketing cooperatives all had the unique skills of wrapping things in kraft paper, which was wrapped like handicrafts. Salt, sugar, candies, biscuits... All bulk products are wrapped in kraft paper.
When Luo Ximei caught candy and chased her out, Zhang Yaohua had already disappeared. He didn't dare to ask for Luo Ximei's things. If his parents knew that he was secretly following him, they would be scolded again. So, after Luo Ximei discovered her, Zhang Yaohua hurriedly ran away.
Zhang Yaohua ran to the pine forest in the distance and kept gasping for breath.
Zhang Youping and his wife said goodbye from Zhang Shicai's house. Luo Ximei stuffed the handful of candy that she was preparing to give to Zhang Youcai and asked them to take it back to Zhang Youcai. Zhang Youping was unwilling to accept it.
"Youping. I am begging for these candies. I just asked you to take them. If you refuse to bring them to me, I will go to your house and deliver them to the beggars. Don't be too strict with you two teams. I have heard about beggars. Don't believe in some such things. Take care of the children well. No matter what others say, just don't pay attention to them." Luo Ximei put the candies into Liu Qiaoye's pocket.
Luo Ximei's words moved Zhang Youping and his wife very much, "Aunt, then we will thank you. Let's go home now."
When Zhang Youping and his wife returned home, Zhang Yaohua was watching the ants coming and going in and out of the gaps in the mud ground under the eaves, and they were very busy.
"Boy, didn't you let you stay at home honestly? Why did you follow me secretly again?" Liu Qiaoye tried hard to put his face on the floor.
Zhang Yaohua didn't answer, but just laughed at her mother stupidly.
"I won't laugh at you. Tell my mother, are you still not obedient in the future?" Liu Qiaoye asked with a pout.
"I'll be obedient in the future." I don't know how many times I said this sentence, but Zhang Yaohua can't remember it clearly anyway.
"Forget it, I won't bother with you today. Grandma Jiu grabbed a lot of candies, you can take them to eat." Liu Qiaoye took the candies out of her pocket.
Zhang Yaohua ran over happily, but only took a candy from Liu Qiaoye's hand, "I want to save the remaining land and eat it when I'm greedy."
Every day when Zhang Jiaohua dreamed, he would follow the old Taoist priest to learn Taoism and various mantras. Some mantras were so strange. For example, last night, Zhang Jiaohua learned a mantra of roasting wine, but he didn't know what it was for. He didn't even roast wine at home. He also learned a mantra of cooking rice and meat, and a magic spell of tofu pushing juice.
The spell of the tofu pushing sperm is also very interesting: the ancestor of one, two, three, four, five, and the god of blessings of gold, wood, water, fire, earth and blessings. The disciple chanted the mantra in his heart, boiled beans and burned bean baskets, and the beans were of the same root. They were originally born with the same roots, and they were not too deceptive. If they were not clear, they would not be clear. If they did not succeed, they would turn the slurry into a basin of clear water. The disciples called the command, thousands of spirits and all spirits. At that time, they would be effective. I would like to ask the six stars of the South Dipper and the seven stars of the North Dipper. I will follow the orders of the Supreme Lord as the law.
Zhang Jiaohua thought to himself, "The mute's family beats tofu every day. Why don't you try this talisman when you pretend to beat tofu one day?"
Immediately, this idea was rejected by Zhang Yaohua again, "If I want to cast my spell, I must take the gang steps and recite the spell. Unless the mute family is blind, they will definitely be able to see my movements. At that time, if something happens to their tofu, the first one will doubt me. No, no, if my parents know, my butt will bloom again."
"By the way, I have to cook rice every day. Unfortunately, there is no meat, otherwise I can try the cooking spell." Zhang Jiaohua learned so many spells, so he naturally wanted to try every spell.
Zhang Youping's wound recovered very quickly. He didn't go to sew it, but he actually healed on his own. He didn't dare to say that he was doing heavy work, for fear that the wound would collapse. But he was embarrassed to watch his wife, a woman, pack all the farm work. Every time he went out to work, he would always follow her and do something within his ability. Otherwise, he would sing a little twist to the woman to relieve her fatigue.
Everyone in the village joked that Zhang Youping wanted to tie his wife to her pants and guard her all day. Zhang Youping didn't care what others said, and it would be better if he could tie her pants.
When Liu Qiaoye went out, he had finished the rice and told Zhang Yaohua to remember to cook when the sun hits the threshold. There were not many Shanghai-branded mechanical watches in Meiziao, and the villagers mainly rely on experience to see the time. People in the countryside do not need too precise time. They do not have a strong concept of time. They only need a rough time distinction, so they can arrange their daily labor in an orderly manner.
While cooking, although there was no meat, Zhang Jiaohua still experimented with the mantra of cooking rice and meat. After burning the fire in the stove, he recited the mantra there: The sky is vast and the earth is vast. The disciples call the command, the rooster does not open their mouths, the hen cannot crow, the meat jumps in the pot, the rice is soaked in the steamer, and the fire is extinguished in an instant, and it is as calm as water. If you don’t know if you can’t do it, you won’t do it. If someone comes to meet him, he will be dizzy and unconscious, please ask the six stars of the South Dipper and the seven stars of the North Dipper. I will follow the Grand Duke and the Old Lord urgently as the rule. A special fingering is aimed at the iron pot that is being heated on the stove. I don’t know if the mantra is useful. Zhang Jiaohua did not open the lid to see. When lifting the lid at this time, it is easy to cause the rice to grow.
