Chapter 956 Tofu Pudding Must Be Sweet, Salty Ones Are Heresy!

No matter what dynasty they are in, scholars will always receive preferential treatment due to the needs of the ruling class.

Even scholars who have passed the college examination can not only meet the county magistrate directly, but also meet officials without bowing to them, and can also receive a certain amount of rice from the court every month.

Of course, that was in the past, but now the emperor is fatuous, the world is in turmoil, and finances are tight.

Linmi has long existed in name only.

However, it is more convenient to travel around the world wearing the skin of a scholar. Under normal circumstances, even bandits and bandits don't like to provoke scholars.

Otherwise, how do you think those scholars in ancient times went to Beijing safely to take the exam?

"Lady boss, bring me two bowls of beancurd." Hao Shuai ordered.

"Do you want it salty or sweet?"

"Of course it's sweet! It must be sweet!" Hao Shuai said firmly.

After the proprietress left, Hao Shuai said to Xin Sisi in a serious manner: "Sisi Si, remember, you must only drink sweet tofu pudding. Salty tofu pudding is heresy and will be hung on a pillar and burned at the stake. "

Xin Shisi Niang: "..."

Xishi didn't keep Hao Shuai waiting for the bean curd. After a while, two bowls of white bean curd were served.

Appetite and appetite are the pleasures of the world.

If you have a beautiful woman by your side, it will be even more of a joy!

The tofu pudding is white, tender and plump, and looks extremely delicious. Especially when accompanied by a beautiful woman, eating it makes you feel more comfortable.

Just as Hao Shuai and Xin Shiniang were savoring the sweet tofu pudding, they suddenly heard a few noises from the downtown area. It seemed like someone was arguing, and many people were making noises and making a fuss.

Curiosity drove Hao Shuai to look over. With Hao Shuai's eyesight, he could easily see the scene inside.

I saw a vendor pushing a cart of pineapples for sale, but in front of the cart was a lame Taoist priest wearing a tattered scarf and woolen clothes.

The Taoist was slovenly, with disheveled hair, and a thin layer of dust on his face, giving people a grayish feeling and making it difficult to see clearly. His eyelids were droopy and listless, as if he could fall asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

If it weren't for the Taoist robe on his body, others would have regarded him as an ordinary beggar.

At this time, the Taoist stretched out his dirty hands and begged with salivation on his face: "This layman, please give me a pear to quench my thirst!"

The merchant refused and shouted: "You stinking Taoist priest, go away quickly, don't hinder my business."

The Taoist priest said bitterly: "You have nearly a hundred pears in your car, so why not give one to the poor Taoist?"

"No, no, I am lucky enough to have worked hard to grow these pears. My whole family lives by selling these pears. Why should I give them to you? My pears are a penny a piece, even if they are a penny less, hurry up if you don't have money." Leave, don't affect my business!" the merchant argued.

At this time, the onlookers also urged the merchant to give a pear to give alms in order to send the Taoist priest away. The stubborn merchant refused, so they started to make a fuss, attracting more and more people to watch.

The excitement here was naturally overheard by Xin Shiniang, who was on the side. She only heard her say: "Master, you said that this vendor is real, why can't he give a pear to the Taoist priest out of kindness! How much can a pear be worth? "

Xin Shisi Niang's words made Hao Shuai glance at her. If he hadn't known that she was kind-hearted and not a moral bitch, Hao Shuai would have stayed far away from Xin Si Niang, lest she get involved when she was struck by lightning. Own.

That’s not right either~~

It seems that I have been implicated by him once!

So in order to correct Fourteenth Mother's thinking, Hao Shuai shook his head and said: "Fourteenth Mother, take a closer look at the merchant and his hands."

"The merchant and his hands?" Xin Shisiniang was a little confused, but she still followed Hao Shuai's prompts and looked at the merchant.

I saw that the vendor was in his thirties, with dark skin, thick joints, calluses on one hand, and wrinkles on his face, giving him a weather-beaten look.

"Do you understand?" Hao Shuai explained: "Maybe for wealthy people, one penny, two penny, or even one tael of silver or ten taels of silver doesn't matter, but for those poor people, even one penny means nothing. Of course they are reluctant to part with what they have worked so hard for.”

"If you have money, you can pretend to be generous. If you don't have money, you will naturally be stingy!"

"As for the onlookers nearby, they typically sit and talk without feeling back pain!"

Hao Shuai's education made Xin Shisi Niang nodded with some vague understanding, but she didn't know if she understood.

It’s okay if you don’t understand~~

Hao Shuai has already made up his mind and must speak clearly to the Fourteenth Mother!

The Hao family does not allow the presence of a holy mother bitch or a moral bitch, it will bring bad feng shui!

…

Just as more and more people gathered to eat melons, the surrounding shop owners quit.

Such a large group of people gathered around, which has affected the business of surrounding stores.

At this time, a fat shopkeeper walked out of the roadside shop, took out the money and handed it to the merchant, saying: "It's just a pear, why bother making such a fuss? I gave him the money for the pear."

When the Taoist priest saw someone paying, he immediately picked up the pear in the cart politely, and finally chose the biggest pear. After taking a few bites, he only had a pear core left in his hand.

Immediately afterwards, the Taoist said to the crowd of onlookers: "Just now, some kind people invited me to eat pears, and now I will also treat everyone to eat pears."

Someone asked: "Since you have pears, why don't you eat your own?"

The Taoist priest said: "I need this pear core to make seeds."

After that, the Taoist put the pear core in his hand, took off the small iron shovel on his shoulder, dug a hole several inches deep in the ground, put the pear core in, covered it with soil, and asked the people next to him for some hot water to irrigate it.

A kind-hearted person went to a roadside shop to fetch a pot of boiling water, and the Taoist took the boiling water and poured it into the pit.

Everyone stared at it, and saw a tender bud emerge, and gradually grew up, and soon it grew into a big tree with luxuriant branches and leaves; in a blink of an eye, it bloomed and bore fruit, and big and fragrant pears hung all over the branches.

"My God~~This~~"

"God~~This is the old god, the immortal's tricks~~"

"Greetings to the old god~~"

...

The people around were already a little stunned. A pear core, in less than a cup of tea, turned into a pear tree, blooming and bearing fruit. In the eyes of these ordinary people, this trick is no less than the tricks of immortals, which shocked everyone. Even the vendor didn't care about selling pears, and was stunned.

However, Hao Shuai at the tofu pudding stall smiled disdainfully, saying that it was just a trick of sleight of hand and a technique of grafting flowers and trees, and it was not worthy of being put on the stage.

As everyone was amazed, the Taoist picked a pear and handed it to the fat shopkeeper, saying, "Shopkeeper, this pear is returned to you." Then he called everyone and said, "Don't be polite, just pick it, this pear is a treat from the Taoist."

At this time, the onlookers also recovered from their shock. After hearing the Taoist's words, they picked pears from the pear tree and ate them. In a short while, all the pears on the tree were eaten up.
