Chapter 20: Healing
Li Dascoop!
Li Dascoo is a nickname.
Dou Qi didn't even know what his real name was.
There's no need to know Lu Dao, just an inconspicuous cook.
I have the impression that this man is nested in the kitchen, unable to beat a fart with three sticks, cooking those repetitive meals that anyone will cook, taking the same salary for several years, and has never stopped for more than ten years since he was an apprentice.
In fact, even if he didn't come for a few days, Dou Qi felt that it would make no difference to everyone, and no one could even remember that there was still him in the kitchen.
is such a person, grandpa actually wants to give him the dividends of Zuifenglou, so that such a person can actually share their Dou family's silver money forever.
Just such a person, why!
Grandpa is a nostalgic person, and when he is old, he is soft-hearted, but he forgets that business is business, so after he got Zuifenglou, the first thing he did was to drive away those mediocre and dispensable people.
When this cowardly left, he was still crying, kneeling down in front of himself and crying, saying that as long as he had a mouthful of food, he didn't need to be paid, it was really a shame to die.
Later, I heard that the sick man was going to die, but how did he recover again? I can even stand on the stage!
"Li Dascoop?" Someone in front of him turned around and asked with some curiosity, "Do you recognize?" Who is he? That's amazing! ”
It's amazing! It's amazing!
Dou Qi's face was pale.
"What's wrong with him?" He asked.
The man did not answer, and the other turned his head and spoke.
"Didn't you see? Just now, he carved the eight treasures of Buddhism in a bowl! He said, excited. With a smug face. "Who made you run slowly. I just caught up with it when I came, and then I was taken away...."
"Who can't carve eight treasures?" Dou Qi gritted his teeth and said.
"People carve it with tofu, will anyone else?" Someone else said, louder, "Tofu, have you seen tofu?" Have you ever seen tofu? ”
Bean curd?
What is it?
Dou Qi's gaze looked forward, and the back of the cowardly man was no longer visible.
"Which family offered it?"
"It's Taipingju."
"Where is the Taiping Residence? Why haven't you heard of it? ”
"yes, didn't you come to worship? Why don't you wait for everyone to see the road before leaving? Not even under a pretense. ”
"Is that all? Nothing else? We haven't seen it yet. It's not extravagant to taste what you don't taste, even if you look at it. ”
"Come on, people are specially dedicated to the Buddha, and they don't let us see it, whoever wants to see it can see it, and whoever wants to eat it can eat it, so what kind of rarity is that."
Whoever wants to see it can see it, and whoever wants to eat it can eat it, is it not rare?
Dou Qi's face became more and more pale.
Who shouted just now and rushed to ask for the big vegetarian pot of their immortal residence, this group of things who put down the bowl and scolded the mother!
"Master Dou."
A familiar voice came from the side.
Dou Qi looked over. Seeing that the shopkeeper Wu smiled at himself, he saluted.
"Are you done? We're done with it, so we're done. He said. Without waiting for Dou Qi to reply, he turned around and left, walked a few steps and thought of something, turned back and smiled at Dou Qi, and gave his hands again, "Oh yes, Dou Ye, Wishing you prosperity." ”
Dou Qi had never felt that anyone would laugh so uncomfortable, he stood on the ground and was swaying from place to place by the crowd.
The chamberlain stood beside the king of Jin'an County, talking and laughing.
“… Life is vivid..."He said, his eyes crooked with a smile, while licking his lips, "Also, that plate of steamed tofu, poured with soup, looks delicious, but unfortunately I can't eat it..."
The king of Jin'an glared.
"I let you see people, who let you see the food?" He said.
The chamberlain laughed and laughed.
"People, people are not good-looking, and they can't be compared with His Highness." He said.
King Jin'an snorted.
"Whoever looks better than that, boy, is it good-looking." He said, "Hugh is talking nonsense. ”
As he spoke, he looked to the other side.
The woman was already surrounded by many women, including an acquaintance.
The king of Jin'an County hurriedly turned around and hid behind the pillars.
"Sister, what are you looking at?" Chen Danniang asked, pulling Chen Banniang's sleeve.
Chen Banniang retracted her gaze and frowned slightly.
"I seem...."She said, stopped halfway through her words, and took Cheng Jiaoniang's hand, "It's okay, you're tired of playing for a long time, right?" Mother has already set a vegetarian fast, let's go quickly. ”
"Susai?" Chen Danniang said, wanting to shake her head left and right, "Someone said that I should eat vegetarian noodles, what about people?" ”
Mrs. Chen was a few steps behind and listened to the servant whisper.
"Acquaintance?" She asked in a low voice.
The servant nodded.
"Listening to talk is knowing." She said.
Mrs. Chen pondered for a moment and looked at Cheng Jianniang, who was walking among the daughters in front of her.
Although she deliberately wore the spring shirt she gave her, in a group of cardamom girls, the woman's back still looked lonely, perhaps because of her thin figure, or because of her upright posture.
"Look, who is it?" She asked again.
"The young man is the same age as the lady, or one or two years older, handsome, leisurely, although he seems to behave boldly, but he is also measured, and there is no blasphemy and frivolity to the lady." The servant woman said earnestly while thinking about it, hesitated for a moment, and smiled again, "Moreover, he is very happy to see the lady. ”
Mrs. Chen hummed and nodded.
"As long as it's not rude." She said, sighing, "If there is rudeness, you can't treat your mother as your own daughter on the grounds that it is inconvenient for others to take care of her, and you must protect her in everything." ”
The servant woman hurriedly answered.
"I hope this child can have a good marriage." Mrs. Chen said, looking at Cheng Jianniang in front of her again.
At the same time, Mrs. Zhang was being slapped on the arm by her grandson Zhang Cheng.
"Grandpa, grandpa, that's Taipingju, that's Taipingju!" He shouted excitedly.
Old lady Zhang stood a few steps.
"I'm too old to hear." He said, glaring at his grandson as he stood up. The crowd surged and crowded him a little embarrassed.
This woman. You'll come up with some weird food.
"Grandpa. Grandpa, didn't Banqin say that the owner of Taipingju also came? You can introduce me to me. Zhang Cheng said, looking left and right with a little excitement, "The capital is so good, I'm a little reluctant to go." ”
Old lady Zhang also looked left and right, frowning slightly.
The people at the Zen tea party dispersed, and the people poured over, and the crowd was so crowded that they couldn't recognize who was who.
"Why didn't you see her in the hall?" He said to himself.
When the king of Jin'an stepped into the palace gate, it was already early afternoon.
The palace maids greeted them with a salute. Watching the boy pass by with a gust of wind.
"Your Highness is so pleased." A palace maid smiled and looked sideways at the temple door.
"As long as you go out to play, Your Highness is happy." The other smiled and shook his head again, "It's just that I don't pay attention to my homework, the Queen Mother knows that she should be worried again." ”
The box that he had always held in his hand all the way was placed on the ground, and the king of Jin'an sat down with a smile.
The chamberlain also knelt down on the side, looked at the box, and then looked at the king of Jin'an.
"Your Highness." He couldn't help but say. "Is it pretty?"
The king of Jin'an County, Ha Luha, smiled and raised his foot to kick him.
"Naturally pretty." He said. While exhaling, he smiled slightly again, and pointed to the box, "Look, it's a birthday gift for me." ”
He accentuated my words.
Maybe the woman just replied casually, and His Highness was so happy, but His Highness actually said to this woman that today was his birthday.
Your Highness has been lonely for too long.
But what surprised him even more was that the speaker was so comfortable, and the listener was not apprehensive, according to the king of the county, this was the second time the two met, and they talked freely like old friends? Is it because they have experienced life and death?
"The boy said she did it with her own hands." King Jin'an continued.
The chamberlain came back to his senses and nodded with a smile.
"Yes, yes, congratulations to Your Highness." He leaned over and saluted.
King Jin'an opened the box and looked at the three remaining pastries.
"I remember that my mother did this for me when I was young." He said suddenly.
The waiter's face trembled, and his expression was a little complicated.
"Well, I don't know if the taste is the same." He forced a smile and said, "Your Highness, try it." ”
The king of Jin'an looked at the dim sum and was silent for a moment.
"Maybe it's like, the dim sum is like this, and it's not necessarily the same, as for the taste, I've long forgotten." He said, and laughed.
The chamberlain bowed his head and did not speak.
Footsteps rang out the door.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty and Niangniang have asked people to send you a birthday gift."
The king of Jin'an County pushed the lid of the box under several cases, turned around and bowed his head.
The door has been opened, and the four chamberlains are holding the tray and smiling, which is full of gold and jade brocade pen, ink and paper inkstones, bright and shiny.
"Your Majesty will give you a set of four treasures and a jade belt."
"The Queen Mother gave Jin Ping a pair of agate plates and a bowl."
"The queen mother gave twelve jewels of the South China Sea."
"Concubine Xian..."
The king of Jin'an raised his head, smiled all over his face, and bowed after standing up again.
"Minister, Xie Longen." He sang the promise aloud.
In the Taiping Curie, Li Dasco knelt and leaned over.
"Thank you for your great kindness." He said.
The head was bowed to the ground, and the man's voice was muffled.
"Thank me for what I did, I didn't carve the tofu." Cheng Jianniang said.
Li Dasco still didn't look up.
He remembered that it seemed like a long time ago, that he too knelt in front of a man, begging not to be driven away, begging to leave him a way to live.
He has been apprenticed with his master since he was ten years old, and until he was twenty-eight years old, he didn't know anything else except being a cook, he didn't want the dividends given by Old Lady Dou, he could ask for less wages, as long as he didn't drive him away.
He can't speak, he just kowtows.
Please, please, please, please, please.
Li Dasco fell to the ground, and the sleeves that were close to his face gradually became wet.
But his pleas were useless, he was still driven away, useless, wasted, sick to death, sold cattle and land, and sold his daughter-in-law's dowry field, the old lady was old and stupid, the daughter-in-law was honest and sick, the child was still young, and when he died, what would happen next, he had already seen it.
First the land is sold out, then the house is sold, and then the daughter-in-law will be forced to remarry by her mother's family, the child will either starve to death, or be sold, the old lady will starve to death in the wild, if you are lucky, the village neighbors will be buried with a broken sweep, and if you are unlucky, you will fill the belly of the wild dog.
At first, the people of the village would gossip and lament the pity of the family, but it would not be long before no one talked about it anymore, and then the family would be forgotten as if it had never existed in the world.
Either way, there won't be an ending like he has today.
He took the dishes he cooked, followed the great monk who enjoyed the royal worship, and under the gaze of so many people, he walked into the Buddha hall step by step, accompanied by the great monk's worship of the Buddha, and put the dishes he made in front of the golden Buddha statue.
He Li spoon, made, dish!
He Li Dascoop, finally, like a person!
How did all this happen, he looked up slightly, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the servant girl sitting on the side.
"This big brother, I asked a doctor to treat you."
In the dimly lit room waiting for death, a crisp voice rang in his ears.
"The doctor has treated you, you will be well soon, don't worry."
Li Dasco looked up at the woman sitting in front of him.
"Lady, thank you, you treat the little one." He said, bowing his head again, his voice choked, "The little one is now healed." ”
Not only cured his illness, but also his life.
