Ancient Buddhist Life

Chapter 27 Seven Colored Rice Balls (Revised)

"Brother, is this a tiger?" Zixin asked, pointing to the 1-meter-long cloth tiger.

"Yes, but real tigers are more ferocious and majestic than this. If there is a chance to meet them in the future, brother will show you real tigers." Hu Ziyi hopes to show them the outside world as much as he can. , instead of just knowing the three acres of land in front of you like a frog in a well all your life.

"Really?" Several people looked at the eldest brother in disbelief.

"Really." Hu Ziyi confirmed again.

"Great, when I meet Ziqing, I must tell him that I have not only seen a cloth tiger, but also a real tiger in the future. He must have never seen one, and he will definitely envy me." The more Zi Xin thinks about it, the happier she is, she can't wait to go to Zi Qing to show off.

"You, you can't tell about the dolls now, and the elder brother still needs to make money from it!" Hu Ziyi helplessly stopped.

"Okay!" Zixin said a little wearily.

"I haven't slept all night. You should be tired too. Go wash up and go to bed." Seeing their tears in their eyes and yawning one after another, Hu Ziyi put down what he was doing and urged them to go to bed.

In order to mobilize their enthusiasm and efficiency, Hu Ziyi suggested: "Which one of you is the first to wash up, when you wake up, I will reward him with a bowl of colorful glutinous rice balls."

The sharp-eared Zixin didn't care to be sad when he heard that there was something delicious, so he jumped off the chair with a whoosh, and ran out first before his brothers and sisters.

Seeing this scene, Hu Ziyi instantly felt that his worry just now was unnecessary. For a foodie, there is nothing that can't be solved by eating.

Because everyone deliberately released water, Zixin won the first place without any surprise.Zi Xin, who got the first place, held his head high like a little rooster fighting for victory, with a proud expression on his face.

"Brother, I want a big bowl of colorful glutinous rice balls." Zi Xin, who was cautious but big, gestured with his hands.

"Okay, as long as you can eat as much as you want." Hu Ziyi replied dotingly.

"Brother, I'm going to sleep. You must wake me up when the dumplings are ready!" Zi Xin, who was thinking about the dumplings, said worriedly.

"Got it, little greedy cat, go to bed!" I was really defeated by the foodie Zixin, whether I can still sleep, and I only think about eating.

It was obvious that Hu Ziyi was overly worried, the little boy Zi Xin snored softly as soon as he got on the bed, and he didn't appear to be unable to sleep that he was worried about at all.

Hu Ziyi couldn't help sighing: It's good to be young!There is no such thing as insomnia when you say sleep and sleep.

Hu Ziyi, who had always been a night owl in his previous life, has been transmigrated in just a few days.I haven't adjusted my state, almost every day I can't fall asleep when I should sleep, and my tired eyes are always fighting when I shouldn't sleep.

Hu Ziyi thought that he wouldn't be able to sleep for a while, so he might as well prepare some fresh food while they were asleep, and surprise them.

Hu Ziyi can't guarantee that he can cook other dishes, but when it comes to sweets, as long as he has tasted them and found them delicious, he can't cook anything.

Considering the lack of ingredients, Hu Ziyi finally decided to make according to the existing ingredients: colorful glutinous rice balls, dumplings, pudding, and chicken cakes.

Before going to the kitchen, Hu Ziyi thought about putting all the finished dolls and the things he bought yesterday into the only box at home and locked them up.Although the others did not leave home, no one can guarantee that Mrs. Hu and Liu will not suddenly come to the backyard for a walk. After all, yesterday they were seen by many people in the village carrying large and small bags.

What's more, there were a few people who had a problem with them in the bullock cart yesterday, and they would not let go of this opportunity to sow discord, and they would definitely publicize their faults with Hu Liushi.

As for when Hu Liushi will come over, this is beyond Hu Ziyi's control, and he can only prevent problems before they happen, so as to respond to all changes with the same.

After everything was packed, Hu Ziyi walked into the temporary kitchen with the ingredients and started to work.

But because many places in ancient times were not as convenient as in the previous life, for example: to beat egg whites, in the previous life only an electric egg beater was needed.Here, Hu Ziyi could only beat the egg whites into a creamy shape by hand, and he couldn't feel his hands when he stirred them.

Although there were constant situations in the middle of the meal, fortunately, the result was gratifying. Seeing the cake that was baked and looked good, Hu Ziyi suddenly had the urge to cry with joy, it was really not easy.

Compared with the cake, the other three things should not be too easy, Hu Ziyi didn't take long to finish it.Except for the egg pudding, Hu Ziyi steamed it in advance and put it in the pot, and the rest of the glutinous rice balls and dumplings had to be cooked after they woke up.

Here, Hu Ziyi had just closed the kitchen door and was about to go to bed, when he turned around, he saw Hu Liushi and his two daughters-in-law walking towards this side in a hurry, and behind them there were some excited faces watching the excitement villagers.

When Hu Liushi saw Hu Ziyi, he was a little apprehensive at first, but then he thought that he would not dare to do anything to him in front of so many people, otherwise this brat would suffer the reputation of not being filial to his elders.

Hu Liushi, who succeeded in making up his mind, looked at Hu Ziyi proudly and said, "When we separated, it was nice to say in front of your elders that you should be filial to your grandparents. Why don't you really do that! "

"Grandma, what do you mean by this?" Looking at Hu Liushi who has not yet learned how to behave, Hu Ziyi felt that he had to improve her memory.

"It's spread all over the village that the three-bedroom grandchildren of our old Hu's family have made a lot of money! I went to the town yesterday and brought back a lot of bags! I, as a grandma, shouldn't come here to congratulate Congratulations, I went to the town to squander it just now, which is really amazing!" Hu Liu said eccentrically.

"It's okay, I want to come here to divide the family just for money, and I said it nicely, to treat Zi Xin's illness. I don't know if the illness is cured or not, but the matter of buying things is definitely not fake. This is what everyone saw with their own eyes. The facts I saw!" Hu Zhang, who hated Hu Ziyi's brothers and sisters for ruining the reputation of her youngest son, added fuel to the fire.

"Bah, heartless little bastard, hurry up and take out the things you bought, maybe I have to go and search them myself." Hearing what the second daughter-in-law said, Hu Liu became even more annoyed. It's all the money I have saved through my luck.He has always been reluctant to spend it, but he was lucky to spend the money as soon as he got it and before it was warmed up.

"I don't know what position grandma used to ask me for something. Why should I give it to you when I spent my own money?"

"Why? Just because it's my money." Hu Liu shouted loudly.

"Your money, grandma, have you lost your mind? It was distributed to us when the family was separated. Why is it now your money again? It seems that I need to invite the patriarch and village head to take care of it. Please tell me, is there any reason to take back the money from the division?" Seeing Hu Liushi being so aggressive, Hu Ziyi still looked careless.

"Aside from being able to invite the village head and patriarch, what other skills do you have?" Thinking of her old man's instructions, Hu Liu said through gritted teeth.

"Since the old Hu family can't control you, I have no choice but to ask the elders in the clan to help me decide. Anyway, my reputation has been ruined by you outside, and I don't mind making it worse. I just don't know your two Does this precious son care?" Hu Ziyi said while looking at Hu Liushi indifferently.

"You..." Thinking of the impact on her precious son, Hu Liushi felt a little lack of confidence.

After all, my old man has repeatedly asked her not to let her have any more troubles until the end of the Yidong and Yixi imperial examinations.Otherwise, no matter who intercedes, she will be driven back to her natal home.

The fearful Hu Liushi wanted to go back, but the Hu Zhangshi who was still staring at him would not easily let go of this opportunity.

On the sidelines, he continued to encourage: "Mother, if you leave like this, that little bastard Hu Ziyi will think you are afraid of him, and he will have to be even more lawless from now on."

"That's what you said, but your father has repeatedly told you not to cause trouble in the recent period, and you should wait for Yidong and Yixi to finish their exams, and then take care of him slowly." Hu Liushi said unwillingly.

When Hu Zhangshi heard that it was his father-in-law's intention, even though he was not reconciled in his heart, he did not dare to openly contradict his father-in-law's majesty. After all, the most important thing for his old man is that his family can produce an official son.If Xianggong and uncle failed the exam due to their own reasons, father-in-law would have to let Xianggong divorce her.

After figuring it out, Mrs. Hu Zhang didn't target Hu Ziyi explicitly, but said with a hidden knife: "Zi Yi, your grandma and I got a little emotional just now, but it wasn't aimed at you. It's not that I heard that you bought it. There are a lot of things, I was worried that you would be deceived, so I became more excited for a while, I think you won't care about us!"

"Hehe, it's really hard for you to think about us in your busy schedule. Second Auntie, since you have time to worry about our six siblings, you shouldn't be very busy after all. I don't know why Grandpa promised to let Ziqing apologize to Zixin , when are you going to do it?" Since she wanted to pretend to be a good person, Hu Ziyi felt that it was necessary to remind him of the things that he deliberately forgot.

"Do you still remember this? Is it necessary for you to be so serious because you are all cousins?" Hu Zhang asked pretending to be puzzled.

"Brothers are brothers, and principles are principles. If one does something wrong, he has to admit and apologize. The second aunt wants Ziqing to be an unreasonable and bad boy, and be ridiculed for not taking responsibility." Seeing her look like a dead pig Hu Ziyi couldn't help sneering as if he wasn't afraid of being scalded by boiling water.

"What are you talking about? It's not good for children to take things too seriously. It's better for people to be confused."

"Second Aunt, just tell me when you can come! I'd better save the rest of the truth and tell my cousin Ziqing! I think he needs it more than I do. After all, a child who is only 3 years old will be obedient and obedient. Bullying my cousin, what will happen in the future is really worrying." Hu Ziyi, who didn't want to waste his precious sleep time talking nonsense with him, said bluntly.

"You, you..." Mrs. Hu Zhang who didn't expect him to be so straightforward, was suddenly speechless in anger.

The villagers who watched the excitement saw that the Hu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who had been invincible in the village were once again defeated by Hu Ziyi's hands.

For a while, everyone booed.Some of them who were at odds with the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law couldn't help but look at Hu Ziyi with admiration, this is the real genius!If I can learn one and a half of his moves, I will see how embarrassing they will be when I meet the Hu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future.

Hu Ziyi, who didn't know that he was secretly admired by many people, yawned and said, "You guys still have something to do? I went in without me."

Seeing that Hu Ziyi was really going to leave, Hu Huashi couldn't hold back any longer. Originally, she thought that her mother-in-law and second daughter-in-law could take care of this brat, but she didn't expect them to be so useless. The kung fu was stunned and he was speechless.

Hu Huashi, who despises them in his heart, has no choice but to curry favor with them, who will let them have a good life.One has two sons who can read, and the other has a husband who can read.I was thinking about my incompetent husband-in-law, who was useless at all except being used as a gunman and guarding the shop after following a building every day.Now she can only count on her son to be successful.

For the sake of her son, although Hu Hua did not want to get involved in these matters, she had to express her position.Otherwise, after going back, she would have to be run over to death by Mrs. Hu and Liu. Because the second daughter-in-law was her niece from afar, she had always been partial to Mrs. Hu.If she was caught again today, there would be no room for her to survive in the Hu family from now on.

"Zi Yi, auntie has a merciless request, I hope you can consider it." Unlike Hu Liushi and Hu Zhangshi who were talking nonsense, Hu Huashi said with a smile in a soft voice.

Looking at the soft and weak uncle in front of him, Hu Ziyi felt that she didn't want her to be as simple as she looked on the surface. Judging from the original owner's memory and the past few days of contact, Hu Huashi has always been like a non-existent person, submissive He followed Hu Liu's aunt and nephew.

Unless necessary, she generally has an attitude of having nothing to do with herself. She neither bullies their brothers and sisters with Hu Liu and the others, but she also does not speak up for them, just watching with cold eyes like a stranger .

For a moment, Hu Ziyi couldn't figure out why she was so abnormal today, but there is a saying: when things go abnormal, there must be demons.

After thinking about it for a long time, Hu Ziyi raised his eyebrows and smiled without saying a word.

Hu Huashi looked at Hu Ziyi who was smiling but didn't speak, and was a little uncertain what he meant.I wanted to ask, but I was worried that what he said was not what I wanted to hear.

He simply didn't care what he thought, and said directly: "Zi Yi, I heard from your aunt Cao that you bought several bolts of silk and satin in the town, and the aunt wanted to borrow some from you to make some for my second uncle and younger uncle. A new set of clothes. Isn’t it because the exam is about to come, and students from all over the place will gather in Fucheng, so we have to make decent clothes for them, don’t we?”

"Borrowing" I have to say that this person's rank is much higher than Hu and Liu's, but Hu Ziyi is not someone who can be manipulated at will.

"Could it be that the family is so poor that they can't even afford clothes? I remember that a few days ago, the grandfather of the branch family said that the family had 50 taels of silver. Excluding the 15 taels for me, there should be 35 taels. No matter how you look at it, you don't need it." I have no money to borrow!" Hu Ziyi deliberately emphasized the word "borrow".
