Chapter 23 (II) Eliminate Evil and Restore Justice
"Bad guy! It turned out to be spring water used to make salt, don't I understand when you say that!" Ma Xiaomei immediately said angrily.
Adding salt to cooking dishes can remove some of the peculiar smells of raw materials and increase deliciousness, which is the freshness of table salt.
Among the many cooking ingredients, except for a few ingredients that have a more popular and acceptable taste (such as cucumbers, tomatoes, fruits, watermelons, melons, cantaloupe, etc.).
Most of the raw materials have some bad smells to varying degrees, and if they are turned into delicious dishes, in addition to heating, soaking and other methods, it is necessary to play the function of salt to "eliminate evil and promote righteousness".
The so-called "eliminating evil and correcting" is to suppress the fishy smell of the raw materials themselves during the cooking process, assist in improving the delicious substances in the raw materials, and enhance the delicious taste that people like.
Many ingredients are added to the base before being cooked, mainly salt, especially animal raw materials.
"Ha! Ma Xiaomei, Ma Xiaomei, I originally wanted you to lie down on the cart and sleep well, and spread a layer of soft hay on top of it, how comfortable! Hey, it seems that you can sit down!" Ma Li continued to say jokingly.
Lying on top of a trolley is naturally much more comfortable than sitting on it.
You know how stiff it is to sit on it, but it's not the same when you lie on soft hay!
"Hey, I'll tell Grandpa, you're bullying!" Ma Xiaomei said a little anxiously.
Although the little girl didn't quite understand the difference between the two, she was still able to understand what her brother meant.
It would be nice to be able to sleep on the trolley!
"Tell me, why did I bully you?" Ma Lile asked rhetorically.
Ma Li let Ma Xiaomei sit in the cart, and she was still pushing hard outside!
Even if the power of waste is small, it is more tiring than sitting in a cart!
"You're just bullying me, you let me sit, that ass old man. I told Grandpa that you wouldn't let me lie in the car. Ma Xiaomei immediately pointed out that Ma Li was not good for her.
Ma Xiaomei has to be unforgiving, anyway, she is bullying people.
"Okay, okay, but let's go first, what about you go? We can put a few barrels together, there is enough space on the cart, you can lie down and sleep, but you can't come back, you have to put several buckets of salt spring water on it, you can only sit!" Ma Li smiled, and began to reason with Ma Xiaomei seriously.
This is the first vaccination!
But normally, it is still necessary to leave some room for Ma Xiaomei, at least let her sit in the cart, but when she comes back, there is no place to lie down like when she went.
"But sitting like this, my ass is old, it hurts too much!" Ma Xiaomei immediately pursed her mouth and said with some reluctance.
Ma Xiaomei is also reasonable, and thinks this is the truth.
"Hah, are you afraid of anything, you are so good that you can put some hay and sit down, or you will go to your mother-in-law's house next door and stay?" said Ma Li with a smile.
Yu Po is the matchmaker who worked for Wei Ze, not far from Ma Li's house.
I've also hit Ma Xiaomei's attention before.
"No, that Yu Po always wants to be a matchmaker for me, saying that I will go to someone's child's daughter-in-law, so I won't do it!" Ma Xiaomei heard that she was going to be with Yu Po, and immediately refused with a good face.
Although Yu Po can speak well, Ma Xiaomei naturally dislikes her, and thinks that her eyes are not good, and she looks like she wants to eat people.
"Alas, little sister, it was the time when Grandpa was sorry for you, and the family almost couldn't open the pot a few days ago, so Yu Po wanted to relieve some of the burden on our family. Grandpa didn't refuse her before, but in the future, Grandpa made it clear to her that our family is not bad at food, and my little sister will be a child daughter-in-law for others!"
Hearing Ma Xiaomei talk about this, she also felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Although it was Yu Po who came to mention this matter, Grandpa was also a little moved, the girl will marry sooner or later......
"Well, my brother will make money, my brother can still catch a lot of fish, and the food he cooks is always delicious! I don't want to be a child daughter-in-law for others!" Ma Xiaomei said with a pouting mouth.
Ma Xiaomei thinks about her brother now, it's still very good, at least now she won't let other people be child daughters-in-law.
"Okay, okay! everything will be fine in our house. Let's go play in the mountains!" the horse began to push the cart he had just made.
Ma Li pushed the cart out of the yard, and the items prepared on the cart were already placed.
"Wait for me, wait for me! Let me sit on the car first and then go!" Ma Xiaomei hurriedly ran over with her little short legs.
Ma Xiaomei ran over at a very fast speed.
"Alright, alright, hurry up!" said Ma Li with a grin.
Seeing Ma Xiaomei running over, Ma Li stopped and waited there for Ma Xiaomei to come over.
"Big baby, don't bully the little sister!" Grandpa was also amused, and said helplessly.
These two little babies are still quite lively, fortunately, they didn't listen to their mother-in-law's advice at the beginning, and sold their little sister to others as a child daughter-in-law, so that they could have a happy childhood.
"Okay, okay, Grandpa, we won't encounter any danger in the mountains this time, right?" Ma Li begged for mercy.
Ma Li still feels that he needs to be cautious about such a thing as going to the mountains, which is no better than in his own village.
The situation in the village is very familiar, but it is different in the mountains, and any kind of abnormality is possible.
"Peace of mind, I've been going into the mountains to collect medicine alone all these years, and as long as I don't go into the depths of the mountains, there's no problem!" Grandpa said calmly.
Grandpa still knows a lot about the situation in the mountains.
Especially this time, it was only at the edge of the mountain, and there were no large beasts, so naturally there was no problem.
"No, are there no wild beasts in the mountains?" Ma Li shook his head suspiciously, thinking that this was impossible!
If you encounter a beast at that time, it will be troublesome, so you have to prepare in advance now.
"That's not it! Actually, it's exactly what you imagined, the most dangerous thing in the mountains is not the infestation of wild beasts, let alone bad people, but easy to get lost and trouble if you can't find your way!" Grandpa recalled his past experience before he spoke.
Generally speaking, there is feces left by large beasts wherever they are infested, giving a silent warning to other beasts entering the territory.
"Ah, isn't it terrible to encounter wild beasts?" Ma Li felt that his three views were wrong!
In Ma Li's memory, didn't it say that the beast was fierce?
Many people in the village have been attacked by wild beasts, some are injured, some are maimed, and some are even missing!
"In fact, as long as you don't encounter packs of wolves, generally speaking, as long as a lone beast sees us humans, the beasts will often be the first to be frightened and flee!" Grandpa said as he walked.
In reality, even if a tiger sees a person, it will stay away.
Unless you've seen too much and don't think it's dangerous, you'll be nervous if you haven't seen a mysterious creature before.
"Why?" Ma Li pushed the cart, and Ma Xiaomei lay on it obediently and listened to Grandpa and Ma Li talking.
Ma Xiaomei felt very curious when she heard it, there was definitely such a thing, isn't this more afraid of people than the big dog in the village?
"We humans are generally able to enter the mountains, and we are more or less prepared, either with a firewood knife for self-defense, or with a hunting bow, do you think ordinary beasts can not worry?" Grandpa waved the firewood knife in his hand.
How can you go to the mountains without preparation!
"Oh, then we will enter the mountain this time, grandpa, are you going to bring a firewood knife or a hunting bow?" Ma Li was stunned.
Ma Li didn't pay attention at first, but now as soon as he said it, Ma Li noticed that Grandpa was carrying some bags on top of the cart!
"Bring them all, I'll prepare them for you too!" Grandpa took out the firewood knife and hunting bow that had been prepared from the cart.
