The old lady said a lot of this in one breath, and Tian Qingqing heard it in a fog.
I have died twice, and each time I have been to the underworld, and I have seen Judge Cui and black and white impermanence; crossed, with magical space and abilities; A few days ago, he "fugued" subspace and killed the monsters in the water and the money string spirit; And I also saw a demon possessed by my own eyes......
Tian Qingqing, who is a human being in the third life, really believes in the theory that there are ghosts and gods in his heart.
But when it comes to the gods giving things to people, I really haven't heard of them except for those who pretend to be themselves.
Today is the first time.
encountered an incident similar to his own behavior, which greatly aroused Tian Qingqing's strong interest.
Actually, this old lady also heard the rumors that the gods sent "divine food", so she thought about it.
"Auntie, are you sure that no one has poured that oil into it? Or is there someone else who changed the sesame oil and put it in that oil bottle when you were not at home? Tian Qingqing asked.
Because it was so mysterious, she had to understand it before she could answer it correctly. She knew that she knew both things: she didn't know anything but the memories of her past life; Without powers, she's just an ordinary little girl. And such a mysterious thing cannot be solved with an ability.
"Nope. I handle everything at home alone. The old lady said and sighed: "Cough, Qingqing, I won't tell you, your aunt and I are narrow, and the eldest is in his thirties before he finds a daughter-in-law with leg problems." After passing through the door, two more children were born, and they couldn't work.
"The second child is also thirty years old this year, and he is still alone. A family of seven is still picking a horse spoon in a pot. Every qiē at home is memorized by me. Where to put things, none of them know, no one to help this heart. “
It seems that pouring oil into it can be ruled out.
"Every time you use sesame oil, don't you pick up the bottle and pour it? There's a lot of oil and a lot of oil, and it's been picked up, but I haven't found it before? Tian Qingqing asked again,
"Nope." The old lady said, her face unnatural: "Cough, Qingqing, let me tell you the truth, I haven't touched the sesame oil bottle since I put it."
"When you eat it, dip it with chopsticks and put it in the noodle soup or boiled vegetables in the pot. It's the same with the stuffing, but with two more dips than in the pot. Ahem, the family is poor, where can I afford to eat sesame oil! I also saw the oil beads and ate a fragrance. ”
Tian Qingqing was even more puzzled when he heard this: the oil bottle was left in place and had not been touched, indicating that it had indeed not been added. Even if you dip it with chopsticks, it's a little less! In a year's time, even if you can't finish dipping, at least you can't dip more and more!
Tian Qingqing was really confused this time, and she had no idea for a while.
Seeing the anticipation on the old lady's face, she couldn't say anything if she refused. I thought: Why don't you go to the scene to see, the longer it drags on, the more the old lady's enthusiasm will naturally cool down. When it finally didn't work, she could accept it. So he said:
"Auntie, I don't see the situation, and I can't tell what to do. Well, I'd like to follow you to my home and see what I might find. ”
The old lady was stunned at first, and then her eyebrows fluttered with joy.
It turned out that the old lady's family was very poor.
People are poor and short-minded, and it is not false at all. Because the old lady is poor in her family, she always feels that she is looked down upon in front of people. came to Tian Qingqing, also because Tian Dalin and his wife were honest and kind.
Seeing that people passed Tian Qingqing into a little prodigy, he was even more convinced. But prodigies are also children, and children don't hate the poor and love the rich, so they found it.
Unexpectedly, Tian Qingqing took the initiative to say that she wanted to go to the house to have a look, which made the old lady both shocked and happy.
"That's great." The old lady said happily, "Let's go." It just so happened that the old family took the child back to their parents' house, and no one saw it. ”
It seems that the old lady's secrecy is still very heavy.
An old man and a young man, walked through the streets and alleys, and soon came to the old lady's house.
"No, it's been here all along." The old lady gestured to a corner of the stove.
Following the old lady's hand, Tian Qingqing saw a one-pound green wine bottle. The mouth of the bottle is covered with a piece of corn pit covered in grease. The oil bottle was also full of oil stains, and if you didn't pick it up, you couldn't see what was inside and how much it contained.
The oil bottle was placed too far inside, and if Tian Qingqing wanted to take it, he would have to step on a small bench or something.
Tian Qingqing glanced at the hall, there was no object to step on here. There was only a futon made of wheat straw in front of the stove, and it seemed that the old lady was sitting on the fire cooking.
The financial situation of this family is really not very good! Tian Qingqing thought to herself.
"Auntie, bring it to me and I'll show it." Tian Qingqing pointed to the oil bottle and said.
"Okay." The old lady agreed, and took it.
Sure enough, the oil bottle was the first half of the bottle. Because the outside of the oil bottle is covered with oil stains, it is impossible to see the color of the liquid.
Tian Qingqing held the oil bottle in front of him and looked at the sun.
This one looks at the problem: the liquid in the bottle is layered. The top layer is thin, accounting for less than one-sixth of the proportion. The middle layer is thick, two-thirds thick; There is also a one-sixth black sediment underneath.
Tian Qingqing is even more of a second monk - confused: it is obviously an oil bottle, how can there be delamination? Four taels of sesame oil will not precipitate so many impurities?
"Auntie, how do you use sesame oil?" Tian Qingqing handed the oil bottle to the old lady and asked.
The old lady put the oil bottle back in its place, and then said to Tian Qingqing: "The family is poor, where can I be willing to eat sesame oil?" I have a daughter-in-law, and if I don't prepare it, I have to say that I will pick it. Every time. ”
The old lady lifted the pot as she spoke, and the smell of wild vegetables immediately permeated the hall.
Tian Qingqing glanced into the pot, and it turned out that it was soaked in half a pot of cooked penghu buds.
The buds are the buds of the buds, which can be eaten cold after cooking. It has an earthy smell, and if it is soaked in water after cooking, the earthy smell will disappear. This is the most common way to eat in the countryside.
It seems that the old lady has no doubt that she will be cold at night.
Tian Qingqing sighed secretly for the poverty of this family.
"Every time." The old lady picked up a pair of chopsticks and said to Tian Qingqing: "For example, this is half a pot of noodle soup or half a pot of boiled vegetables, when it is cooked, I am like this." As he spoke, he pulled out the black corn core on the oil bottle with his hand, then stirred it with chopsticks in the buds in the pot, and then put the chopsticks that were still with water droplets into the sesame oil bottle, shook it, took it out, and quickly put the chopsticks into the pot and stirred, and repeated again.
"Half a pot of rice, I usually dip it twice. In this way, you can see the oil beads in the bowl. The old lady let out a sigh of relief, as if she had done something important, and a look of joy floated on her face.
Tian Qingqing suddenly realized:
The "oil fairy" comes from the old lady's chopsticks.
It turned out that after the old lady cooked the noodle soup or cooked the vegetables, she used the chopsticks to dip the bottle in sesame oil. The soup that the chopsticks hung in the pot fell into the sesame oil in the bottle.
And because the chopsticks are wet and slippery, there is very little sesame oil on the chopsticks. In this way, more fell in, less brought out, four taels of sesame oil for a year, but became more than half a catty, not unusual at all.
found the reason, but Tian Qingqing was embarrassed.
Look at this family, it's too poor. There wasn't even a chair or bench to sit on in the hall. The curtains of the doors of the east and west rooms are patches and patches. There is a curtain hanging on the door of the east and west rooms, I don't know what is going on inside, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the hall as "the four walls of the house".
During this period, there was a scarcity of goods, and there was nothing wrong with poor people praying to the gods for happiness with a pious heart. Looking at the old lady's radiant expression when she spoke, Tian Qingqing knew that she had great hopes for this. Once the story is broken, the old lady's love will definitely fall from the peak to the trough.
is in her sixties, and she has a thirty-year-old son who has not started a family, what kind of mental pressure is the old lady undergoing?
White lies can sometimes be a good medicine. Tian Qingqing has a deep understanding of this. Although she has never known the old lady in her life, the old lady has traveled all the way to find herself, which is enough to show the old lady's trust in herself.
Since we have met, it is fate.
What's more, helping the old, weak, sick and young is to accumulate yin virtue; Seeking the welfare of the people can also improve one's mental strength. In the past, I thought so, but the last time I "fugued" subspace, the five ethereals also mentioned this. It can be seen that you will also benefit a lot from doing so.
When Tian Qingqing thought about it, she decided to hide it and leave a beautiful thought for the old lady, so that she could live a better and happier life in this thought.
"Auntie, this sesame oil is indeed too much. As for whether there is a 'oil fairy', I think, as long as you have it in your heart, there is. However, you're not doing it right. Look—"
Tian Qingqing said, took the chopsticks from the old lady's hand, stirred them in the pot, then lifted them, pointed and said, "Look, the chopsticks are stirred in the pot, and there is a lot of water on them." If it's a noodle soup, it's even more. Over time, the water in the oil bottle will gradually increase. When the impurities in the noodle soup settle down, a layer of black stuff will be formed. You see, these black things on the bottom of the bottle are brought from the soup.
"If there really is an 'oil fairy', the water of this worldly world cannot be mixed with the oil of the gods. Otherwise, oil is oil and water is water. Look at the oil bottle on top, and there is water on the bottom, which is the reason why the water on your chopsticks is mixed in. ”
"What should I do then?" The old lady frowned when she heard this: "I can't eat too much, so I can only dip it with chopsticks." ”
Tian Qingqing: "You can take the bottle and go out." Pour one or two drops, also hygienic. It's not better than dipping it with chopsticks. ”
The old lady hurriedly waved her hand and shook her head: "I can't help it, I can't help it, if I pour too much, I can't take it back." This sesame oil is quite expensive. (To be continued) RS
