door god biography

Early in the morning, Chen Ze stood in the yard doing Taijiquan for health preservation. Taijiquan was taught to him by Chen Ze's grandfather, and he had developed this habit since he was a child.

Erhei flicked his tail and watched Chen Ze's movements, and would swipe his paws to the rhythm from time to time, a look that I was very interested in.

Just after finishing a set of punches, there was a sound of an electric horn from the alley outside the gate, and the sound of 'tofu, soft tofu, soy milk, fresh soy milk' was constantly playing back in the horn.

It was a tofu seller pushing a cart over. Hearing this voice, Chen Ze quickly walked into the house, took out a small basin from the dish shelf, and walked out of the yard with it.

When Chen Ze walked to the entrance of the alley, there were already many people who wanted to buy tofu. There was only one merchant who often came to his town to sell tofu. The small boss who made tofu was very honest and made good tofu. Their tofu cubes are plentiful, tender and resistant to stewing. Whether it is cold, braised, fried or fried, it is very popular among people in small towns.

The owner of the tofu seller is surnamed Wang. He looks like he is in his 30s. He lives in the neighboring village. He walks back and forth between his town and other villages selling tofu. He has been selling tofu for almost ten years.

Because he makes good tofu and his surname is Wang, the big guys sometimes call him Tofu King in amused manner, but those who know his temper well only have one name for him, that is Wang Laoshi.

You can know his temper by just hearing this title. Lao Wang and his wife are both well-behaved and honest people. Although neither of them has much culture and they do hard work, No one has ever heard the couple complain like anyone.

Chen Ze lined up and waited in the back with a small basin. Through the crowd, he saw Wang Laoshi shoveling tofu piece by piece for the people in front.

Wang Laoshi has been selling tofu for almost ten years. He is a frequent visitor. The people here are very familiar with him. Some of the more lively ones will take advantage of the idle time in the line to play some jokes with him.

No, Uncle Li, Chen Ze's neighbor, watched the tofu owner shoveling tofu for himself, and said to him teasingly: "I'm honest, people say that there are three kinds of suffering in the world, which are punting, blacksmithing, and selling. Tofu. I didn’t see the first few items, but this last one happened to be your job, so tell me, is it hard to sell tofu?”

Wang Laoshi, who was potting the tofu, said with a naive smile, "It's not bitter. I have food and drink, clothing and housing, a wife and children. Selling tofu can help me support my family. What's the matter?" bitter."

The people around were delighted to hear that Lao Wang was not a native of them. When he first came to the next village to settle down, he was impoverished. All his property added up to less than 100 yuan. His landlord at the time thought he was pitiful. In addition, there was a lack of labor at home, so he was left behind.

At the beginning, he was just taking care of food and living, and gave him a little pocket money. Later, people who worked for him saw that he was willing to endure hardships, work hard, and he was honest and kind. The only daughter who was so good, she decided to find a son-in-law for retirement.

The old landlord first discussed it with his daughter, and after seeing her daughter agreed, he revealed his tone to Wang Laoshi.

To Wang Laoshi, this news was like a big pie falling from the sky and hitting his face directly, which made him dumbfounded at the time.

Therefore, the family he worked for made tofu. Although their lives were not that rich, they still had two small houses and a big animal. Although their daughter was a little weak in body, she was gentle and good-looking. Well, Wang honestly knows his own conditions. Apart from this person, he wants nothing else. Now that someone can like him, what else can he ask for.

So the two young people got along for a period of time under the arrangement of their elders. They were very satisfied with each other's personalities. A year later, the two got married and Wang Laoshi took over the tofu stall business from his father-in-law. Careful operation to this day.

Chen Ze also went to the wedding of Wang Laoshi and his wife. He had just entered junior high school and went there with his grandfather. It is said that his grandfather and Wang Laoshi's father-in-law are old friends, but it is a pity that the two old people are now All passed away.

Wang Laoshi worked quickly, and after a while, all the people in front of Chen Ze had finished their shopping and left. Wang Laoshi saw Chen Ze approaching with a basin, so he said to him, "You still want a piece of tofu, right?"

"No, I want two yuan this time." Chen Ze returned with some shame.

Wang Laoshi looked at Chen Ze in surprise when he heard the words. The tofu he sells is quite large, and one meal is enough for a family of three. People with small appetites often have leftovers. Chen Ze lives alone. Why so much?

Although he was a little uncomfortable being seen, Chen Ze still didn't change his words. There was no way Shigong's appetite had grown again. A piece of stewed tofu was not enough for him to eat.

Although he was a little puzzled, Wang Laoshi shoveled two pieces of tofu into the small bowl Chen Ze was holding. Just as Chen Ze paid the money and was about to leave, a crunchy child voice said to him beside him: "Big Brother Don't go yet."

Chen Ze heard the words and followed the reputation, and saw Wang Laoshi put a bag of soy milk in his son's little hand, then pointed to Chen Ze, and asked his son to bring it over.

The kid was holding the soy milk and ran like a tiger, and came to Chen Ze in a hurry, handed the soy milk in his arms to Chen Ze and said: "Big brother, the soy milk that our family fried this morning, you Try it."

Chen Ze smiled when he heard the words, held the basin in one hand, took the soy milk in the other, and threw the soy milk into the small basin he was holding. He reached out and touched the little boy's furry head, and then he was about to take out the money.

The little boy is very well-behaved, with big black eyes that are lively and energetic. After he handed the soy milk to Chen Ze, he accepted Chen Ze's touch of approval safely, but when he saw that Chen Ze was about to give money, he followed him. ran away.

Chen Ze held a tofu bowl in his arms and didn't dare to chase the child who ran away, so he had to give the money to the child's father. Who knew that Wang Laoshi dodged Chen Ze's hand to give the money, and then he was busy with his own work , and said to Chen Ze: "Your little brother gave you this, I dare not take the money, if he finds out later and keeps crying, I can't stand it."

Chen Fuming knew that what Wang Laoshi said was an excuse, but he couldn't tell him apart. Since his grandfather passed away, every time he came to buy tofu, Wang Laoshi would think of various ways to give him some support.

Today, in order to give him a bag of soy milk, Wang Laoshi even moved out his son, who is not yet five years old. Seeing how relaxed he is now, Chen Ze thought it would be very hurtful if he didn’t accept it. face one thing.

Thinking of this, Chen Ze said: "Then I will thank Uncle, and I will also ask Uncle to help me thank your little brother later."

Wang Laoshi let out a mouthful of white teeth when he heard the words. Chen Ze knew that he still cared about the original relationship between the two families, and wanted to take care of him seeing him living alone.

Walking home with the tofu bowl, Chen Ze's heart was warm all the way, and this good mood lasted until he got off work.

When he returned home, Chen Ze was still thinking, in less than a year, that clever little Maotou of Wang Laoshi's family will go to primary school, and then he will inquire with the old director to see how well the teacher in the town primary school teaches. Some, Toto relationship sent the kid in.

Returning home humming a ditty, Chen Ze flipped through the almanac hanging in the house, and seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival was three days away, he stroked his chin and thought for a while, then took out some offering paper from the cabinet, and took the matches to the I went to the Earth Temple.

The Earth Temple in Nanyuan Town is still the same as before, the difference is that the broken bowl used to insert the incense is gone, and it is replaced by a small bronze incense burner with a simple shape. The incense twitched the corners of his mouth.

Chen Ze kept hinting to himself, isn't this censer just for worshiping incense, so if he doesn't insert incense, whoever will insert it.

Thinking of this, he really felt much more comfortable. Chen Ze quickly walked a few steps to the front of the Earth Temple, lit the paper offering with a match, and said while making the offering: "This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, I will be with Shi Gong There is a banquet at home to appreciate the moon, and Aze came here today because he wanted to invite the two immortals to come over to enjoy the banquet. If the two immortals are free, please come to my residence to have a talk."

A gust of wind blew by, and the ashes of the burnt paper offering danced in the air. Chen Ze also heard the answer from Tu Di and A Ding, and they both agreed.

Chen Ze smiled slightly when he heard the words, and said, "Then Aze will welcome the two of you at the mansion."

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the school was on holiday, Chen Ze got up early and went to his parents' house, and had a reunion dinner with his parents and brother and sister-in-law. Because Guomu's illness had been resolved satisfactorily, so his elder brother's appearance today , looking more energetic than when he came to the door twice before, Chen Ze was very happy to see his elder brother's radiant face.

Brother Chen was also very happy to see his younger brother. He took out a bottle of red wine that he had always cherished and poured it for the family. The family had a lively reunion dinner.

In the afternoon, Chen Ze bid farewell to his parents, brother and sister-in-law, and did not hurry back to Nanyuan Town, but walked around the vegetable market a few times in the city.

The market in their town is gathered spontaneously by people. It is nothing in normal times, but every year and festival, people are busy going home for reunion, so every afternoon at this time, the vegetable market in the town is full of people. It is said that he is a seller, and there will not even be a mouse that steals and eats.

Shopping all the way, Chen Ze's hands were full of plastic bags in a short while. You don't need to buy many vegetables. You basically have them in your own vegetable garden. What you want to buy are mostly fruits and meat.

When passing by the aquatic product stall, Chen Ze looked at the crabs in the water basin with their teeth and claws open, and thought that it was the time to eat crabs, so he asked the boss to pick the fat ones, and bought three catties of crabs to take home.

With empty pockets and full handbags, Chen Ze left the vegetable market contentedly, and went back to Nanyuan Town by car.

After returning home, Chen Ze quickly packed up the ingredients he bought. Shi Gong, who knew that Chen Ze had invited guests to the banquet today, felt a little bit reluctant to see Chen Ze busy in the kitchen alone.

So when Chen Ze turned his head, he saw Shi Gong standing behind him with a serious face.

Chen Ze was taken aback, and managed to stabilize his mind and asked, "Shigong, what do you want?"

From childhood to adulthood, from man to god, Shi Gong has been educated as a gentleman who cooks far away, but when he saw the marks drawn on Chen Ze's delicate hands, he felt very uncomfortable. So he said, "My lord, can I help you with something?"

Chen Ze blinked when he heard the words, and it took him a while to realize that Mr. Shi was going to help him, and he said with a slightly raised corner of his mouth, "Of course."

Then he turned around, found a toothbrush, poured the crabs bought from the city into the basin, handed the toothbrush to Shi Gong and said: "I just bought some crabs, so I asked Shi Gong to wash them It's clean, wait for a while to put it in the steamer."

Shi Gong looked at the toothbrush that was in front of him, and then at the live crabs in the basin, finally took the toothbrush, squatted silently beside the basin, grabbed a crab that was waving its pair of pincers at him. Crab, scrub vigorously.
