Chapter 951 Douhua must be sweet, salty ones are heresy!
No matter what dynasty they are in, scholars will always receive preferential treatment due to the needs of the ruling class.
Even those who have passed the academic examination can not only meet the county magistrate directly, but can also meet officials without bowing, and can also receive a certain amount of rice from the court every month.
Of course, that was in the past, but now the emperor is fatuous, the world is in turmoil, and finances are tight.
Linmi has long existed in name only.
However, it is more convenient to travel around the world wearing the skin of a scholar. Under normal circumstances, even bandits and bandits do not like to provoke scholars.
Otherwise, how do you think those scholars in ancient times went to Beijing safely to take the exam?
"Lady boss, bring me two bowls of beancurd." Hao Shuai ordered.
"Do you want it salty or sweet?"
"Of course it's sweet! It must be sweet!" Hao Shuai said firmly.
After the proprietress left, Hao Shuai said to Xin Sisi in a serious manner: "Sissi, remember, you must only drink sweet tofu curds. Salty tofu curds are heretics and will be hung on a pillar and burned at the stake."
.”
Xin Shisi Niang: "..."
Xishi didn't keep Hao Shuai waiting for the bean curd. After a while, two bowls of white bean curd were served.
The desires of the mouth and stomach, the pleasures of the world.
If you have a beautiful woman by your side, it will be even more of a joy!
The tofu pudding is white, tender and plump, and looks extremely delicious. Especially when accompanied by a beautiful woman, eating it makes you feel more comfortable.
Just as Hao Shuai and Xin Shisi Niang were savoring the sweet tofu pudding, they suddenly heard a few noises from the downtown area. It seemed like someone was arguing, and many people were making noises and making a fuss.
Curiosity drove Hao Shuai to look over. With Hao Shuai's eyesight, he could easily see the scene inside.
I saw a vendor pushing a cart of pineapples for sale, and leaning in front of the cart was a lame Taoist priest wearing a tattered scarf and woolen clothes.
The Taoist was slovenly, with disheveled hair, and a thin layer of dust on his face, giving people a gray feeling and making it difficult to see clearly. His eyelids were droopy and listless, as if he could fall asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.
If it weren't for the Taoist robe on his body, others would have regarded him as an ordinary beggar.
At this time, the Taoist stretched out his dirty hands and begged with a salivating face: "This layman, please give me a pear to quench my thirst!"
The merchant refused and shouted, "You stinking Taoist priest, go away quickly and don't hinder my business."
The Taoist priest said bitterly: "You have nearly a hundred pears in your car, so why not give one to the poor Taoist?"
"No, no, I am lucky enough to have worked hard to grow these pears. My whole family relies on selling these pears to make a living. Why should I give them to you? My pears cost a penny a piece, even if they are a penny less, hurry up if you don't have money."
Leave, don't affect my business!" the merchant argued.
At this time, the bystanders also urged the merchant to give a pear to give alms in order to send the Taoist priest away. The stubborn merchant refused, so they started to make a fuss, attracting more and more people to watch.
The commotion here was naturally overheard by Xin Shiniang, who was standing beside her. She said: "Sir, you said this vendor is real, why can't he be kind enough to give a pear to a Taoist priest? How much is a pear worth?
.”
Xin Shisi Niang's words made Hao Shuai look at her. If he hadn't known that she was kind-hearted and not a moral bitch, Hao Shuai would have stayed away from Xin Si Niang, lest she get involved when she was struck by lightning.
Own.
That’s not right either~~
It seems that I have been implicated by him once!
So in order to correct Fourteenth Mother's thinking, Hao Shuai shook his head and said: "Fourteenth Mother, take a closer look at the vendor and his hands."
"The merchant and his hands?" Xin Shisi was a little confused, but she still followed Hao Shuai's prompts and looked at the merchant.
The vendor was in his thirties, with dark skin, thick joints, calloused hands, and wrinkled face, giving him a weather-beaten look.
"Do you understand?" Hao Shuai explained: "Maybe for wealthy people, one penny, two penny, or even one tael of silver, or ten taels of silver doesn't matter, but for those poor people, it doesn't matter.
To put it bluntly, even if it is a penny, it is something they have earned through hard work, so they are naturally reluctant to part with it."
"If you have money, you can pretend to be generous. If you don't have money, you will naturally be stingy!"
"As for the onlookers next to me, they typically sit and talk without feeling any pain in their backs!"
Hao Shuai's education made Xin Shisi Niang nod her head somewhat vaguely, but she didn't know if she understood.
It’s okay if you don’t understand~~
Hao Shuai has already made up his mind to make sure that the Fourteenth Mother understands what he wants to say!
The Hao family does not allow the presence of a holy mother bitch or a moral bitch, it will harm the feng shui!
…
Just as the melon-eating crowd gathered more and more, the surrounding shop owners quit.
Such a large group of people gathered around, which has affected the business of surrounding stores.
At this time, a fat shopkeeper walked out of a roadside shop, took out the money and handed it to the merchant, saying: "It's just a pear, why bother making such a fuss? I gave him the money for the pear."
When the Taoist priest saw someone paying, he immediately picked up the pear in the cart without ceremony, and finally chose the biggest pear. After taking a few bites, he only had a pear core left in his hand.
Immediately afterwards, the Taoist said to the onlookers: "Just now, some kind people invited me to eat pears, and now I will treat everyone to eat pears."
Someone asked: "Since you have pears, why don't you eat your own?"
The Taoist priest said: "I need this pear core to make seeds."
After finishing speaking, I saw the Taoist put the pear core in his hand, took off the small shovel on his shoulder, dug a hole several inches deep in the ground, then put the pear core in, covered it with soil, and moved it to the side.
The people asked for hot water for watering.
Someone who had something to do went to a roadside shop and brought a pot of boiling water. The Taoist priest took the boiling water and poured it into the pit.
Everyone stared at it and saw a bud sprouting up and gradually growing up. After a while, it grew into a large tree with lush branches. In a blink of an eye, it bloomed and bore fruit, and big and fragrant pears hung.
The branches are full.
"Oh my god~~this~~"
"Gods~~This is the old god, the tricks of the immortal family~~"
"Meet the old god~~"
…
The people around were stunned. A pear core turned into a pear tree in less than a cup of tea, and it blossomed and bore fruit. In the eyes of these ordinary people, these methods were no less shocking than those of the immortals.
In front of everyone, even the vendor didn't care about selling pears and looked at it dumbfounded.
However, Hao Shuai at the bean curd stall smiled disdainfully at this. It was just a cover-up and a trick, and it had no real impact on the table.
While everyone was marveling, the Taoist picked a pear and handed it to the fat shopkeeper, saying: "Shopkeeper, I'll give this pear back to you." Then he called to everyone: "You're welcome, just pick it. This pear is a treat for all of you."
.”
At this time, the onlookers also recovered from the shock. After hearing the Taoist priest's words, they all picked pears from the pear tree and ate them. In a short time, they ate all the pears on the tree.
