CHAPTER XV

Soy sauce, or Qiu Ji soy sauce fragrant, no additives pure soybeans, dark color like ink, mellow taste, ten miles of fragrance, hit a can of soy sauce and the boss to talk to the boss to buy salt next door salt shop, the salt shop proprietress age dress up a little bit can not see her age, face painted white, lips pursed vermilion, laugh deep two dimples, articulate, quite fierce, as a widow of the proprietress no one dares to bully their mother and son, in this area is the top famous salt widow.

The salt here is not the modern salt sold cheaply by the bag, it is sold here by the pound, salt is more expensive than rice, a pound of salt costs her ten cents, if salt is not essential, she is reluctant to buy this luxury

Salt widow is a bold person, when she learned that Yuequan is the master of Qingzhou Town and is also a widow, she takes care of it, every time she sees Yuequan coming from a distance, she has to greet loudly and warmly, and then talk bitterly about how to prevent wolves, teach Yuequan where the weakness of men is, how to seduce men, etc., often provoke Yuequan to blush and shy, as a modern person can blush and heartbeat, it can be seen that this boss lady's extraordinary skills.

In addition to a pound of salt, the bamboo basket has a few more bananas, and every time I go, there is a surplus harvest, if it weren't for the fear that the proprietress would be angry, she really didn't want to enter the salt widow's shop, and even her son complained that she had to be subtle and subtle, but at such an age, her thoughts have been stereotyped, and it is useless to complain, so she can only adapt to her thinking mode.

The most fragrant old vinegar belongs to the lame old Wu family, his vinegar is the most famous in the city, and the temper is also the most smelly, even the city lord does not put the people in his eyes can see the great temperament, and at the same time the old Wu is also the most colorful, the daughter-in-law ran away with her son, he can still be happy, close the door after dark, limp skillfully around the zigzag alley, knock on the door and enter the house with red lanterns......

His deeds are countless, there is a little Yuequan is the most appreciated, he will not touch Peng who should not touch, so she who buys vinegar is not afraid of this obscene old pervert at all, after buying a bottle of vinegar, Yuequan left without lingering, leaving the greedy breath of air and a faint aftertaste, admiring the beauty of Lao Wu.

Yuequan's dress can still praise the beauty, which shows that Lao Wu is already colored to the bones.

Oil, salt, sauce and vinegar still have oil left, oil to Zhu Ji pork shop, there are three pork shops in the city, the other two are not fresh and often sell overnight meat, this pork shop is the freshest, Yuequan actually doesn't like to go the most, because the proprietress of the pork shop is a vinegar jar, so as long as women go to buy meat to stare at fiercely, like a hungry wolf prey, once there is redundant action, it will be beaten hard, and if you can't beat it, then you will be beaten in a group, and you will be beaten without reason.

Hurriedly bought a piece of fat and a piece of pork leg meat, bowed her head and left in a panic in the appreciative eyes of the proprietress, the jealous woman is really terrible, you have to pay attention to every move, and you have to hide away from the pork to let the boss put it in the bamboo basket, and wait for the boss to leave with the copper coin on his back and the bamboo basket after the boss leaves.

There is still spare time after buying, her mother-in-law's wardrobe is too little, she wants to make a dress for her mother-in-law, although her mother-in-law often says that she is about to enter the coffin and don't waste it, but she just can't see her mother-in-law's ragged clothes, the money is gone, you can earn it, and no matter how much money you have, it is useless, you should enjoy it or enjoy it.

Yuequan walked into the Zhuang Ji cloth shop, most of the female guests in the shop, occasionally walked into the masked official lady, surrounded by the maids arrogantly picking, the proprietress was already familiar with it, directly took out the best fabric, nodded and wrapped it so that the servants could send it to the house.

Mrs. Fugui has left, the proprietress is sitting on the stool shaking the pu fan to steal, seeing Yuequan to not greet, nor urging, yawning and squinting her eyes to pretend to sleep, Yuequan is not annoyed, directly into the corner of the corner to pick out a piece of linen cloth to pay the apprentice three dollars and leave, faintly said "poor ghost is poor ghost"

Yuequan didn't care, the poor and the rich look at the heart, and the poverty of the heart is more terrible than material poverty.

There is plenty of time, Yuequan came to the bean curd shop, the bean curd generally sells well in the morning, and it is not easy to sell at about ten o'clock.

"Idle aunt, have you cleaned up the stall?"

"Yes, Master has finished buying it!"

"After I bought it, could it be that when I saw the market day, there were few people in the east, and it was not crowded, I planned to go to the west to have a look, do you go?"

The proprietress waved her hand and shook her head, "No, we are all such old people, we haven't seen anything, eldest sister, the market is crowded, you are inconvenient, we suggest you don't go too." ”

The mother-in-law nodded, "Shi'er, you go!" Remember to come back early, I'll go back with my eldest sister. ”

Yuequan pondered for a long time, "Okay! Be careful on the road. ”

"Well, go ahead, I'm such an old person, I can't grab my head, but Shi'er, you have to pay attention to safety."

"Okay, I will."

Leaving the mother-in-law and carrying a bamboo basket to the west, the more people went west, including hawkers, merchants, farmers, officials, young ladies, rich ladies, and so on.

To enter the harvest Niangniang Temple, you need to cross a bridge, the bridge name is "Ping'an Bridge", the ancient saying goes, the ancient bridge of Mitsukoshi to keep safe, hence the name of this bridge. Follow the crowd into the countryside, walk back and forth three times to keep safe, along the stone road around the hawkers more and more, occasionally meet the villagers in the town after greeting each other Yuequan did not bother them, continue to move forward, the more people, the more crowded, money is also easy to steal, she doesn't want to squeeze, into a dilapidated house, through the back door, around the crooked pickled alley, to the back door of the harvest Niangniang Temple, this road is sparsely populated, few people know that there is this road, if not to hear the mayor mention her really don't know.

The backyard is surrounded by dilapidated green bamboos, three or five little nuns hurriedly serve tea back and forth, there should be a big man visiting, seeing the moon spring, the nuns whispered, how can there be outsiders in the backyard, but I am afraid that it is a noble person, I dare not expel it, so I can only let the five-year-old girl enter the house to ventilate the news.

Before the half-pillar incense arrived, the elderly nun walked in slowly, clasping her hands together, "Female donor, the backyard is heavy, please go to the front yard to light incense, if you get lost, please follow me." ”

Yuequan nodded "Okay"

After Yuequan finished speaking, a panting little nun suddenly rushed out, and she stammered, "Female, the female donor is Miss Li Shishi?" ”

Yuequan looked at the little nun with a surprised face, how did she know?

"Grandma Zu please"

Grandma? I haven't seen it, and I don't remember this person.

The elderly nun opened her mouth wide in shock, the grandmother has been in retreat for ten years, and she hasn't heard of it, so why do you invite someone? Could it be that she is out of customs? Thinking that she hurriedly led the way, took the confused Yuequan through the corridor, walked more and more remotely, and finally stopped outside the door of the cave in the back mountain, and the elderly nun knelt on her knees and prostrated "Grandma Zu"

The birdsong sounded three times, and the elderly nun got up, "Grandma Zu is inside, and the old nun will not follow." If you walk along the cave, you will see the deep forest, and the colorful spirit birds will come to pick you up, remember not to talk along the way, and do not disturb the evil spirits. ”

Full of doubts to push open, the wooden door, go inside, the dark cave only has a dim oil lamp, carrying the oil lamp, the more narrow it becomes, no choice but to crawl slowly forward, about five minutes or so A light appeared in the cave, seeing the light, it was like seeing hope, the moon spring climbed more and more urgently, and even felt that the knee was pierced by the stone.

Out of the hole, stunned to look at the fairyland of the world, dense forests, towering trees, strange flowers and plants, colorful birds, see people are not strangers, around the head of the moon spring circle, chirp to signal the moon spring to follow, follow the bird through the dense forest, the sound of the roaring waterfall into the ears, a wooden house built next to the waterfall appeared in her eyes, a majestic building, the waterfall water hit the roof of the corridor like a crystal curtain, through the bottom to the top of the staircase corridor to the pavilion, the simple pavilion only has a stone table and four stone benches, The stone table and stone bench are smooth and clean without dust, it should be that there are often people sitting, leaning on the railing to watch the waterfall, and the naughty rainbow hangs quietly in the waterfall.

Further up, the road is steeper, the stone steps are covered with moss and very slippery, you need to be careful, at the end of the steps is a large house with an area of about 1,000 square meters, the door is open, and you will see a female Bodhisattva with her eyes closed and meditating, walking up six steps, kneeling on the linen embroidered pouch mat and bowing sincerely, silently reciting the blessing of the Bodhisattva in her heart.

Standing up, there was a virgin standing beside him at some point, the virgin smiled and said with her hands together and respectfully, "Honorable guest, the master is invited"

Follow the virgin, come to an inconspicuous Zen temple, the girl sent to the arched gate of the Zen courtyard and leave, the moon spring with the rain stone road to the inside, a faint sandalwood incense came to the nose, the quaint Zen building came into view, into the door to open the carved peony flower wooden door, the door is very simple, only a set of brown wooden tables and chairs, and then open the silk curtain, a smiling, eyes closed lying Bodhisattva presented in front of her, the Bodhisattva kneeling on the cushion in front of a wooden fish to be sent nun.

"Grandma Grandma"
