MTL - I’m Against the World-Chapter 108 Kind-hearted little fairy 2 Fairy descends to earth
In this era, the ingredients are not abundant, the cooking utensils are also scarce, and there is a tradition of "grain food", so the cooking method is surprisingly simple.
Put it in a pottery or copper kettle to cook.
The taste is rough and quite toothy.
Rice, yellow, rice and millet are different. These grains can be burst open by boiled granules and boiled into a soft, glutinous and viscous soup and porridge with a smooth taste.
Qin Yilan boiled and ate all the two handfuls of millet left at home in the morning. Ma Tao had to make soup and porridge, which could not be cooked with wheat grains and beans.
"Didn't you eat porridge and soup at the morning meal today?" Qin Yilan's face showed a somewhat forgiving smile: "Are you greedy again?"
Greedy is not greedy, the goddess does not pay attention to these appetites, Ma Tao bit her lip and shook her head.
Looking at her aggrieved and aggrieved appearance, Qin Yilan was in a very good mood, she generously promised: "Good girl, please bear with it for a few more days, and when the money is sent from the mansion at the end of the month, Dad will go. Buy you a bucket of fine grains."
There are still seven or eight days until the end of the month, Ma Tao can't wait, she grabs Qin Yilan's hand and shakes her pleading: "Dad, the end of the month is too long, you should go buy some rice now Is rice okay?"
Qin Yilan sighed and shook his head: "Where does our family's money go, you should be clear about it, why, why don't you want Dad to lend you money to buy refined grains for you?"
Speaking of the money at home, Ma Tao stopped, but Qin Yilan was angry.
She sighed and frowned and began to reprimand Ma Tao: "Dad knows that you have always been good-hearted and likes to help others, but before helping others, you should also see if you have the ability, Ah Dad saved up the money for half a year, and bought the woven cloth to cut clothes for you, but you are good, and you give it to others when you change hands, you say you, alas~”
Qin Yilan looked at Ma Tao's obviously shortened cuffs and trouser legs, and then looked at his shirt with several layers of patches, shook his head and sighed, his face full of distress.
Ma Qiu has a strong body and is in his prime, and he has the unique skill of raising horses. The salary paid by the General’s House is not low. It is said that they are only their father and daughter in the family, so they should have a good life. That's right, as a result, his father and daughter were living in even more poverty than the orphaned old woman whose son and daughter-in-law died in the lane later alone with their two grandchildren.
The reason is that Ma Tao's heart is too "kind".
Since his wife was kidnapped, Ma Qiu, the groom's temperament, has changed drastically. He is short-tempered, eccentric, and somewhat harsh. This is recognized by the neighbors.
On the contrary, his daughter Ma Tao has a good reputation among the neighbors as being kind-hearted, pity the poor and the weak, and help the orphans and widows.
If she needs it more, she can give it directly to others for nothing.
For example, the few piles of cloth at the beginning of last month.
Ma Qiu is the daughter of Ma Tao. He will never treat Ma Tao badly when she eats, drinks and dresses. He wears coarse linen clothes, but he is not willing to let the delicate and tender little daughter be The burlap rubbed the skin.
Changed the clothes of the niece for the season to be shorter, Ma Qiu took out all the money she had saved for a few months and bought a few pieces of yellow silk woven from raw silk. The cloth is docile and supple, and it does not wear on the body. It is suitable for making clothes for girls.
Because the clothes were made for girls, Ma Qiu did not interfere much. After buying the cloth, she gave it to Ma Tao and told her to take the cloth and find the aunt next door , let the aunt cut her into a style she likes, and he will settle the wages with the aunt.
Ma Tao took the cloth but didn't go to the aunt to make clothes for herself, but directly distributed a few thorns to the Han family selling tofu in the back street, because the family had three The four children are five or six years old and are still playing in the street with their bare bottoms.
The family who received the cloth was naturally grateful to Ma Tao, and as soon as it spread among the neighbors, Ma Tao’s reputation for benevolent charity rose to a higher level, but Ma Qiu was angry when she heard the news Anxious and helpless.
He was wearing a thick linen shirt with patches and patches, and he was not willing to change it for a few years, but his daughter was generous enough to give away a few yellow thorns. She didn’t think about it, how could that family How many children are around the same age?
Because the tofu hawker had money and food in his hand, he had two concubines and came back to give him birth and work to grind beans for him. The Han people did business, but Much richer than Mafu Maqiu.
The cloth has been given away by her daughter, even if she needs those cloths more than the tofu family, but if Ma Qiu comes to ask for it, she will inevitably cause people to talk about her father in secret The women don't speak.
Although her daughter is only nine years old, Ma Qiu refuses to treat her daughter as an ignorant baby. He is a father and only makes face for her daughter. There is no reason to easily damage her daughter's face. , So Ma Qiu caught her daughter and reprimanded him a few times while she was distressed, and the matter was over.
.
Ma Tao saw that he couldn't do the rough work, so she volunteered to carry water for the widow. She is a nine-year-old girl who is so short that she can't even carry a pole, how can she carry water?
She could only bring water to the widow's house bucket by bucket, and she had blood blisters all over her hands.
Ma Qiu was never willing to let her daughter do a little rough work at home, but her daughter ran out and abused herself so much.
How come it was the turn of their little girl to bring water to them?
Ma Qiu was full of fire, but every day she brought water to others was a promise made by her daughter, even if Ma Qiu was reluctant, she had to hold her nose and endure it The widow's job of carrying water took over.
There is such a "pity the poor and the weak" on the stall and love to "do good things". , And every now and then, he wants to be stupid. Even though Ma Qiu loves her daughter, she can't help but often reprimand her.
I was really angry when I was training the child, but Ma Qiu was not ambiguous when it was time to hurt the child.
Daughter's family is Jingui, and she shows her wrists and ankles all day long and she looks like she's not covering her body. It will take several months to expect to save money to make clothes for her daughter, Ma Qiu can't bear it. Can't wait.
In order to make money, he decided to take the risk of training horses.
There is a wild horse in the house that the general caught from the grassland. It is tall and strong, and the wild horse is hard to tame. It took more than three months to catch it, but no one could get on it. The general sent a message early. , whoever tames the horse will be rewarded ten gold.
Ten gold reward money, gritted his teeth hard.
A large amount of foreign debt.
Ma Qiu had no money, so Qin Yilan bluntly rejected Ma Tao's request to buy rice.
Not ordinary people.
After being ridiculed and reprimanded by Qin Yilan this morning, Ma Tao, full of grief and grievance, went to the Han family's home to help with needlework.
She said she was doing work, but she was actually going to play. She was only nine years old and a half-year-old child, so what kind of work could she do? Just a few stitches.
Although she is a small and weak person, she is a help.
The Hu people are good at raising cattle and sheep and not good at planting them. Only the Han people will take the time to plant these fruits and vegetables. For the Hu people, peaches are also considered the most fresh things.
Ma Tao couldn't help but be overjoyed when she got the peaches, holding the peaches to go home to share with Dad, by the way, let him see how kind and generous the Han people he hated all day long.
However, as soon as she walked to the street, Ma Tao encountered an emergency.
The old woman walking in front of her somehow fell to the ground after shaking twice.
The Northland has been in chaos for decades. Years of military disasters have led to a decrease in the population and no farming. Food is the most precious thing. Give up to others?
Although Ma Tao is small, she has a good reputation for helping the poor and the weak. When she was on the scene, everyone naturally pushed her to come forward, and a group of people told her: "Mother-in-law is hungry. Yes, as long as you eat something you'll be fine."
The mother-in-law who fell on the road needs to eat, and Ma Tao is naturally not stingy. She immediately forgot the idea of sharing with her father, and gave the peaches in her hand to her mother-in-law.
After eating this delicious peach, my mother-in-law really felt much better. She took Ma Tao's hand and was very grateful: "Good boy, you are such a good boy, mother-in-law thank you very much."
This yellow-clothed mother-in-law has a kind face. For some reason, Ma Tao felt very approachable and approachable at first sight when she saw her, which made her extraordinarily attached. When making some soup and porridge, Ma Tao agreed without saying a word.
Ma Tao gave fresh peaches, which are rare in the north, to an old woman who she didn’t know, and brought her home to make soup and porridge, which aroused the praise of a group of onlookers.
Ma Tao's reputation for being kind-hearted, sympathetic to the poor, and willing to help others has risen to a higher level.
After she brought her mother-in-law to the house, Ma Tao found out that there was no millet at home, and the wheat could only be cooked into wheat rice, not porridge and soup.
After that, he couldn't wait to run to the General's Mansion to find Ma Qiu.
Now the lovable and lovely mother-in-law that Ma Tao wants to be attached to is still waiting at home, how can Ma Tao return without success? She kept begging that Qin Yilan had to buy some rice for her.
Ma Qiu also has this incident in her memory.
The difference from the current situation is that there was millet at home at that time, but the mother-in-law still did not drink soup or porridge.
In the memory of the original owner, Ma Tao gave the peaches to the old woman and brought her home. She made a pot of soup and porridge for the mother-in-law who made her feel very close. It didn't make it well, Ma Qiu went home from work, and when she saw the situation, she was furious.
If it weren't for her daughter's help, this old woman would have died on the side of the road and become starving. She was penniless and begging for food. It wasn't enough to eat a fresh peach from her daughter, she even ordered a name If you want to drink soup and porridge, why would she be wronged by eating wheat rice?
My daughter is young and weak in spleen and stomach. In the past, she had obtained fine grains such as millet, but Ma Qiu was always reserved for her daughter.
When he was injured, he was reluctant to cook a bowl of soup and porridge with refined grains, but the old lady who came here inexplicably wanted to grab food with her little girl, it was outrageous!
Ma Qiu was furious and drove away the picky old woman with a bowl of wheat rice. He looked at the two bowls of soup and porridge that had been boiled, and they all went into the belly of his own daughter, so he felt comfortable. .
He is comfortable, but Ma Tao is very uncomfortable.
Ma Tao felt extraordinarily close to the old lady in yellow when she first saw it. She had a strong and strong admiration for the old lady, but she hated her own unreasonableness My grandfather is really stingy. He clearly has soup and porridge at home, but he refuses to give the mother-in-law a bowl.
Thinking of the lovable and lovely old woman who didn't even drink a bowl of hot soup and porridge and was kicked out by her father, I don't know what will happen, Ma Tao felt very distressed and guilty, and tears came pouring out Next, I cried heartbroken.
The heartbroken Ma Tao was tired and sleepy, and she dreamed in a daze.
The old woman in the dream patted her head with a smile and said: "Good boy, thank you for your kindness, peach is a good thing, I eat one of your peach is enough to prolong life ."
Ma Tao was aggrieved and sad, buried in the arms of the old woman and cried, the old woman hugged her for a good comfort, and promised to come to meet her in the future, then she turned and floated away.
When Ma Tao woke up, she thought she was just having a dream, but found a peach pit in her hand. She thought it was not easy, so she planted the peach pit in the yard.
After only two days, a peach sapling grew in the yard.
Ma Qiu saw the peach sapling. He didn't know that his daughter had such a dream, nor did he know the strange origin of the peach sapling, so he didn't associate the peach sapling with the picky old woman at all. Together.
Seeing that there was a peach sapling in the yard for no reason, he was quite happy: "Yes, when the tree grows up, my daughter will have fresh peaches to eat."
Ground, miscellaneous things weighed heavily on Ma Qiu's heart, Ma Qiu didn't have the energy to focus on the sapling anymore.
He simply quit his job as a groom and joined the general's army as a soldier.
I would rather be a peace dog than a person in a troubled world. After the incident of his wife being kidnapped, Ma Qiu realized that in order to give her daughter peace in this war-torn world, the only way is to be a powerful person can go.
Just kidnap?
Ma Qiu entrusted her daughter to the care of the general's house, and went to the army to fight for her life.
After ten years of battle, the general Ma Qiu followed became king, and Ma Qiu was also awarded the title of General Zhengdong due to his bravery in battle.
The great king established a royal capital in the prosperous big city, and entrusted his hometown in the north to Ma Qiu to be stationed there.
Ma Qiu became famous and returned home, but Ma Tao refused to move into the General's Mansion with Ma Qiu, and still lived in a row house on the back street outside the General's Mansion, because she wanted to guard the peach tree at home.
Only ninety-nine red and large fresh peaches were produced.
March is the time when the peaches are ripe, Ma Tao will give the peaches to the poor in the city.
This peach is not only amazing in season, but also amazing in effect. For those with minor illnesses and injuries, the injury will disappear after eating, not only can they recover in good health, but they can also be kept from hunger for a few days.
The effect of peach stunned everyone, this is clearly a method only used by Xianjia!
These peaches are so good, but Ma Tao is never stingy. Whenever the peaches are ripe, none of the ninety-nine peaches are left, and they are all given to the poor in the city.
Such a good peach must be a fairy peach.
Ma Tao has the fairy peach tree, and since she was a child, she took pity on the poor and helped others. Such a good person must be a fairy.
Therefore, everyone rumored that Ma Tao was a fairy, and her good name spread to the king's territory and spread all over China.
The more famous Ma Tao is, the more distressed Ma Qiu is.
pact.
unrighteous people.
Because of this covenant with the Han people to watch and help each other, all the Hu tribes turned against the Xianbei people.
.
Ma Qiu is the highest local officer, his family is already eye-catching, and Ma Tao is also well-known outside everyone knows, if the major tribes negotiate to go to war with the king, live in the general Ma Tao in the servants' row house in the back alley of the mansion is Ma Qiu's absolute weakness.
The situation in the city is getting more and more serious, not only those who make trouble, but also those who take advantage of the chaos to kill people.
Ma Tao refused to move.
It is said that this is a sacred tree, and the peaches it bears can help her to help the poor, the old and the weak in the city. It is because this tree comes from the hand of the old woman she loves very much. The tree will not be dropped.
This sacred tree has been coveted for many years. If Ma Qiu had not sent a lot of guards to Ma Tao in order to protect her daughter, the sacred tree could not have been dug up early. Now If she entered the general's mansion, her father would definitely not send so many people to guard a tree.
No one is guarding, there must be some scoundrel who wants to hit this tree.
darling?
Ma Tao refused to move.
However, the city is becoming more and more chaotic, and there have been many killings of Han people and Hu people who are close to Han people on a daily basis. Ma Tao is Ma Qiu's daughter, and she loves Han people more than Hu people. Man, Ma Qiu was restless and insisted that Ma Tao must move.
Ma Tao was stubbornly guarding a tree and refused to obey her father's order to move into the general's mansion. Ma Qiu was furious and ordered the tree to be cut down.
