Chapter 10: Stone Soup

There was a man in South Vietnam named Stone, whose temper was as bad as a stone, and when he spoke, others looked at him with ill intentions.

This has to do with the birth of stones, which are born in a season of fragrant melons and fruits. As soon as he was born, his father and mother were busy picking watermelons and buying and selling watermelons, and at that time, not everyone had watermelons to eat, only the emperor and nobles could taste the taste of watermelons. The stone was born and could not be called Daddy, but could only say the word watermelon.

At that time, there was a famous summer vegetable soup called stone soup. It was a vegetable soup cooked by the South Vietnamese people who pressed the iron pot with a stone, and as for why the iron pot was pressed with a stone, it was mainly because the iron pot at that time was not pure enough. The iron pot is prone to cracks, and pressing the bottom of the iron pot with a stone can double the pressure to prevent the pot from cracking when the iron pot is boiling the soup.

At that time, the fire was very unstable, probably because the house was not built in the past, and it was easy to crack in 20 years, and some black ashes appeared between the kitchens, so with this stone soup method, the open and dark flames in the kitchen were suppressed by the stones, and they no longer ran around, causing burns on the walls.

When Shi was a child, when his family could still grow watermelons every year to make money, he would make stone soup for him to eat every day. The stone always shouted: look at what was added to the soup in the pot to make it so fresh.

Mother Shi pretended to be happy and said, "Go and ask your father." The stone fart ran over to find Daddy, and when he saw Daddy planting watermelons, he stood on the ridge and shouted: Daddy, the stone soup is ready, come back and eat it!

Daddy Shi, who was working in the fields, stopped what he was doing, straightened his waist, and scolded loudly: Shi, go home quickly. Daddy still has to work to grow watermelons, and after planting watermelons, he will go home and drink Tangle.

The stone doll standing on the ridge of the field looked at a frog running around in the field, swallowed its saliva, picked a dog's tail grass and went home. When the stone doll was stupid, he also liked to weave dog tail grass, nicknamed others, and named himself King Kong Doll, just for the most beautiful girl in the village, Huahua, to look at herself more.

When Shi was sixteen years old, Huahua got married. He ran around with the marriage procession, serving bowls of stones to everyone to drink. Father and Mother Stone called him to go home and plant watermelons, but he pretended not to hear and sat down to drink stone soup together.

Finally, my father and mother got sick and could no longer grow watermelons. There was only one person looking at the stone in the watermelon field, and this year's harvest was very bad, and he couldn't hand over the watermelon eaten by the emperor of Nanyue, so it was fine. But the stone bragged and said that this year's watermelon harvest was good, but it was not cheap Emperor Laozi.

Finally, the servant of Emperor Lao Tzu heard this, and the next day he took the stone away for questioning. I don't know if I don't ask, and I'm shocked when I ask. This stupid stone can't even make stone soup, and says that it tastes best to chop the stone and boil it in a pot.

Later, the village did not see the stones going to the watermelon field to plant. It's just that the emperor's servant has another recipe for stone soup, whether it is a real or false stone or a dime of iron stone.

You can say anything, but don't blow big words, blowing big words are easy to go the wrong way and move your mind, if people don't know, unless you do it.
