little son-in-law

During the few days in Zhaoyang, Ye Qing also came back from the neighboring county, and during those few days, the family was also thanks to their help to look after them.

Beans and peanuts have been covered for a few days, and if they are not dried, they will become moldy.

On the second day after they returned home, after breakfast, although the sun was not very good, Xiao Mo also went to clean up the road at the gate. Mo Nanjin and Ming Ting carried out the peanuts and beans, dumped them on the road, and continued The peanuts are alright, but the bean stalks have not had time to dry when they are pulled out, some of them have become moldy, and even some of the beans still in the pods have been moldy.

Yuyang's injury recovered quickly thanks to the Bijing Ointment, and she was able to get out of bed in the past few days, but the family still didn't dare to let her do any work. They just went to the porch to bask in the sun and tie a silk thread.

"Brother Mo, is your daughter-in-law feeling better?" Mo Nanjin was spreading peanuts when the sister-in-law who passed by the road asked him.

"Sister-in-law, are you back from the field? Well, she's much better and can get out of bed now." Mo Nanjin stood up.

"That's good, that's good, turn bad luck into good luck, by the way, I'll give you spinach, grown in my own field, crack an egg, and make a bowl of spinach soup." The middle-aged woman said from the crook of her arm. From the basket slung in his hand, he picked out a handful of spinach with both hands.

"Sister-in-law, it's planted in the ground, you can keep these for yourself to eat."

"You still talk to me heretics, folks in the village, just a handful of spinach is not a good thing."

"Then thank you sister-in-law." Mo Nanjin took it over with a smile and asked, "Sister-in-law, would you like a glass of water?"

"No, no, there is still a lot of work waiting at home, next time, next time your wife is well, I still want to play tricks with her."

"Well, next time my sister-in-law will come directly."

A morning passed.

When Xiao Mo came back from the field at noon, he looked at the things Mo Nanjin put behind the door, and exclaimed with a smile: "Master, we can go open a grocery store."

Two bundles of spinach, four pig's trotters, five or six large goose eggs, two or three fish, half a basket of eggs, a small basket of yams, half a bag of potatoes, a few catties of pork ribs, a big rooster, and dried mushrooms, apples, pears...

Many people have seen what happened that day, and they all know that the daughter-in-law of the Mo family has suffered a catastrophe this time. Looking at the situation that day, the people in the town are worried that there will be bad luck. Unexpectedly, they came back safely. The popularity of my family has always been good, and the people who have been in contact with me have sent a lot of things here one after another today. There are not many good things in the countryside. Fortunately, in autumn, there are a lot of things from the fields. I am close and have some money. If you buy a piece of fish, bring some eggs, meat, etc., if you are far away, you can give spinach, and some potatoes are also a kindness.

The Tian family came over last night and gave them three old hens, a basket of eggs, four or five catties of meat, and two taels of silver. Second Uncle Tian escorted his son into the door and knelt down.

Tian Shulian, who is almost thirty, is squatting at the threshold of Mo's house, crying with snot and tears, but in the end Mo Nanjin persuaded him for a long time.

Mo Nanjin originally wanted to keep the things and left them, but asked them to take the money back. After all, these two taels of money were only used by a family like the Tian family for half a year.Uncle Tian refused.

At noon, Mo Nanjin looked at so many things and thought about what to cook. He added herbs to Yuyang's specially made chicken soup and simmered it on a casserole.

Unexpectedly, an unexpected person came.

"Master, who do you think is here?" Xiao Mo ran into the kitchen excitedly, still holding two unwashed yams.

"You mean?" Mo Nanjin stopped the knife in his hand and asked.

"Amitabha, benefactor, don't come here without any harm." Master Huiyan, about [-] years old, has white beard and hair, a gray monk's robe, clasped hands, and a compassionate and dignified appearance.

"Master..." Mo Nanjin was really surprised.

Daning Shangfo, Xiangguo Temple in Shengjing, has the reputation of "all Buddhists in the world come from Xiangguo", and is the head of Buddhist temples known all over the world. Huiyan is the youngest disciple of the previous Xiangguo Temple. The three senior brothers in front of him are all world-renowned Buddhist masters, but this young apprentice who is the most valued by the host likes to travel around, and his reputation is not obvious.

His master, Huiyan, came to Prince Rong's mansion suddenly when he was two years old, pointed at him who was standing under a hibiscus tree in brocade clothes, and said: "If you are not born here, you will die soon."

The father, who was so angry when he heard this, waved his hand and wanted someone to pull him out.

But he just stared at himself and said calmly: "Little benefactor, would you like to listen to the poor monk alone?"

In fact, Rong Jin knew that the seemingly reckless monk in front of him was not very human when he heard the phrase "I was not born here".Because he could tell at a glance that he was not from this world.

At that time, although he knew that he could no longer return to that world, and his father and mother loved him very much, but he always felt a sense of disobedience to this world, and even a person in his twenties could not accept his love for this world. The soul is in a child's body, so in those two years my spirit was not very good, and even my bones were poor. Maybe if it really goes on like this, I will really die soon.

At that time, he told himself a word: "Universal energy can strictly purify the sea of ​​all chasms"

Rong Jin's own understanding is: only when one's heart is simple, the world can be transparent, and everything will be finally peaceful.

Rong Jin worshiped him as his teacher. He taught the "Clear Heart Sutra" in Rong Wang's Mansion for three years, and then drifted away without a trace. Until three years ago, he brought Yuyang and Mingyue to find Mo Nanjin, and he himself left In the Lihua Temple outside the town.

Although not far apart, they seldom move around.

So it is even more unusual to go directly to the door today.

"Xiao Mo, go to the well and wash the vegetables. I have a few words to talk to the master."

Xiao Mo agreed and withdrew.

Master Huiyan waited for Xiao Mo to go out, took a ponytail from the window sill, patted his belly, and wailed, "Little Jin, is there anything to eat? I'm starving to death." .”

Mo Nanjin chuckled, knowing that he would not last long.

Mo Nanjin brought out a plate of fried vegetarian vegetable balls from the kitchen cabinet. The tofu skin was wrapped with prepared bean sprouts and shredded radish, dipped in egg liquid and fried in a pan.

The illusion of compassion and compassion in front of the person is gone, Master Huiyan is now rolling up his sleeves, holding a plate in one hand, and chopsticks in the other, eating a ball of meatballs with each mouthful, enjoying himself.

"Master, eat slowly, there will be food later." Afraid that he would choke, Mo Nanjin got up and poured a cup of warm water from the teapot beside him, and then turned around, the meatballs had already gone down more than half.

Hui Yan ate the last few balls into his mouth, put the plate and chopsticks aside, took the glass of water, took a few sips and said, "These few years have really tortured me to death. In my ears, I was talking about being a monk, giving up this, giving up that, and refusing to put more oil in the meal. I finally came out today."

"Then Master happens to be here today to eat more." Mo Nanjin put the plate away and put it in a wooden basin filled with water.

Hui Yan waited for this sentence, grinned, nodded quickly and said: "I was thinking about it, by the way, how is that girl in Yuyang doing? A few days ago, people who came to the temple to offer incense said, Hit by a carriage, are you okay now?"

"It's all right now. I should be happier to see you at dinner later." Mo Nanjin sat beside him peeling garlic. Today, the master came over and we all had vegetarian dishes at noon. Buddhists pay attention to avoiding five spices, but his master except Apart from avoiding alcohol and meat, there is no taboo on other foods, especially garlic, which he knew many years ago.Being tightly locked up by those young monks in the temple, it was rare to come out, so Mo Nanjin only picked his favorite food to cook.

"Then I don't worry, that girl is the one you've been destined for. She will be of great help to you in the future." Hui Yan leaned over to help him strip it together.

Hearing this, Mo Nanjin raised her head, frowned, and said, "I don't need her to help me, as long as she is fine."

Huiyan smiled mysteriously, and said: "It's just to help you, and she has a bad relationship with herself. Don't worry, this girl will not be worse off in the future than she is now. I've calculated it. Her life and death will be a catastrophe." It has passed."

Mo Nanjin suddenly remembered the words Yuyang said in his ear on the carriage that day, sighed quietly in his heart, and said in his heart, I hope Yuyang can live a smooth life.

At noon, Mo Nanjin cleaned up a table of vegetarian dishes, and specially made the vegetarian goose and spinach mixed with garlic that Master liked to eat. The three little guys made the old man very happy.

After lunch, Mo Nanjin added cabbage, fungus, eggs, vermicelli, steamed a pot of steamed buns, and packed a food box for him to take with him. He immediately laughed with his white beard up and down, and he couldn't see his eyes.

Mo Nanjin has been sent to the mouth of his town.From time to time along the way, someone came to say hello.

"Little Jin, do you still remember what I said to you when you were two years old?" Hui Yan looked at him with rare seriousness.

"Remember, master." Mo Nanjin replied.

"The teacher is still telling you that sentence now."

Mo Nanjin looked at the crops in the distance, they had already started to turn yellow, another year's autumn harvest, the law of heaven and earth, formed nature.Is everything going with the flow?

"I see, Master."

"Hehe—it's good to know. In other words, the food you cook, Xiao Jin, is getting better and better. Next time I will come out to eat when they are careless." Huiyan stroked her snow-white beard and smiled in satisfaction. Nod.

"Okay——" Mo Nanjin felt that the only thing that hadn't changed in these years was probably this master, with a child-like personality, but living the most transparent life.

The beans, peanuts, and sweet potatoes in the field have all been harvested, and now they are spread out on the road to dry.Xiao Mo was chasing the birds outside, and by the way he beat the dried bean stalks out of the beans with a stick.

After what happened last time, now Mo Nan Jinjin dare not let the three little guys run around on the road by themselves.Xiao Mo was beating beans, and he didn't care to watch them.

Put them in the backyard, give each of them a shuttlecock, and let them play by themselves.

More than 100 duck eggs from the pond were brought in.

Let the old lady of the Yun family try the preserved preserved eggs last time.I heard that the old lady liked it very much, and later Yun Sichuan came to the door personally and said that he would sell it to them in the store.At that time, Mo Nanjin pickled a total of about [-] pieces, and the ones that were given away, and the ones that were eaten at home, only made up a round number of [-]. Unexpectedly, they were sold out in less than half a month, Yun Sichuan said, Five cents a piece, the people who enter and leave the restaurant are looking for something new.

Preserved eggs are delicious but you can’t eat too much, and there are still some left at home. Mo Nanjin decided to marinate salted duck eggs this time. If you marinate them at this time, you can eat them in winter. When there are few vegetables in winter, the yellow ones will be oily. There are salty duck eggs that are very sandy, which is a rare delicacy.

The family found three large pots, Ming Ting put the duck eggs in a large wooden basin and cleaned them one by one, Ming Yue boiled two large pots of water.

Mo Nanjin added five-spice powder and salt to one pot, and only salt to the other pot.

When the water in the pot is cool, ladle into the prepared jars.Mo Nanjin put the washed duck eggs in the jar.Seal the mouth of the jar with mud, and made two jars of salted duck eggs and one jar of five-spice eggs.

Ming Ting put the jar in a cool place, and just waited for the winter to seal it with mud, boil it and eat it.
