Chapter 176 The Mountain God’s Reward

"They're going to run a private school in the future?!"

When Aunt Chen heard her husband say this, she looked surprised.

She only knew that those who passed the test could get houses and land, but she didn't mention anything about studying.

How can peasants like them read books?

Her husband said, "Yes! I heard from Huaixiang that it was the one who lived across from our house."

"I know. Her brother is the steward. He was chosen as soon as he showed up just because he could read. He was also on the first list during the assessment."

"Yes, it was her. She said it herself, and asked us to behave well and try to send our Chunhua to a private school."

"But Chunhua is a girl..."

"What's wrong with being a girl? Isn't Manager Qu also a girl? Manager Qu's daughter, Manager Huai's sister, which one of them isn't a girl? And there's also Madam Xu!"

Aunt Chen agreed when she heard it.

Girls and such are really nothing outside, but this is Qinghe Village.

Girls in Qinghe Village, as long as you have the ability, you can get more pay than men.

The refugees who failed the assessment were only rewarded with food rations, but if they passed the assessment, they could exchange work points for houses and land.

Even if you don't have enough work points, you can buy on credit in advance and pay it back slowly later.

They are a family of three.

Is it important to be a woman?

unimportant.

Isn’t it because Aunt Chen is a good cook that she passed their review?

Even now, Aunt Chen is working in the "canteen", cooking for these refugees every day.

In the past, we distributed rations and asked them to make it themselves, but later they found it was too much trouble for them to do it themselves, so some people discussed to do it together.

Gradually, Xu Runiang set up the "Refugee Canteen".

Of course, after the canteen was set up, we did not forget to pick out the best food and send it to the mountain god temple to offer to the mountain god.

At first, when Aunt Chen heard that the dishes she cooked were to be given to the Mountain God, she was a little surprised and said quickly: "Me? How...how can this be? How can the food I cook be worthy of the Mountain God!"

"Why is this unworthy? How many people in the cafeteria can match your cooking skills? Since your food is more delicious than theirs, it should be sent to the mountain temple to be offered to the mountain god." Xu Runiang said, "The mountain god protects us and keeps us from being invaded by monsters and beasts. We can farm peacefully. Just for this, we should give him our best things."

When Aunt Chen heard this, she cooked the dish with greater care.

When everyone is eating, they try to save oil as much as possible. When cooking for the Mountain God, they naturally put hot oil in the wok, fry the sliced ​​monster meat until fragrant, and then add the sweet potatoes and stir-fry until they are fragrant.

Then mix the eggs with hot water, stir evenly, put them into the pot, sprinkle with chopped green onions and seasonings when they are cooked, and you will have a bowl of excellent egg custard.

The bamboo shoots used in the soup are cooked together with the peeled bone-eating ants, and the result is a bowl of fragrant bamboo shoot and ant meat soup.

The rice is fine rice, unlike others, which also have sweet potatoes, potatoes and the like added in.

With a nervous mood, she followed Xu Runiang to deliver the food to the altar, and was worried that the mountain god would dislike it.

Unexpectedly, after he bowed his head and looked up again, the things on the altar had disappeared, but a bag of seeds was left.

The words "winter wheat" were written on the bag, which surprised Xu Runiang: "Thank you, Lord Mountain God. May Lord Mountain God have great fortune and a long life as long as the heaven and the earth!"

She guessed that the Mountain God would like it, but she didn't expect that the Mountain God liked it so much and even gave her a reward.

They usually offer sacrifices, but not every time they offer sacrifices they receive a "reward" from the mountain god. This time it was a pleasant surprise.

Xu Runiang quickly took Aunt Chen and the bag of grain seeds to find her father Xu Zhong and told him the good news.

Yang Xiangwei looked at the cabbage in front of her and a smile appeared on her face.

Although the villagers offered him many gifts, he knew that their conditions were not good, so he did not always accept them. He would only accept them if he found someone he was interested in.

Like the food this time, you can tell at a glance that it was prepared with great care, and the chef’s skills are also good. Only then did He become interested and want to taste it carefully.

As a deity, Yang Xiangwei had long ago been practicing fasting and transcended the three realms, but the mundane world always makes people greedy.

Yang Xiangwei enjoyed it happily.

Winter is coming soon, and giving them some winter wheat seeds can also make their granaries more full.

"This was given by the Mountain God?!"

Xu Zhong was very surprised.

In the past, the mountain god would give things, but usually only when a mountain temple was built. I have never heard that the mountain god would give benefits to anyone who offered offerings.

Xu Runiang nodded: "Yes, it was given by the Mountain God. Aunt Chen is a good cook, so I thought of asking her to make some for the Mountain God. When I looked up, the offerings on the altar were gone, and there was a bag of winter wheat seeds."

Xu Zhong seemed to be thinking about something.

Usually they also offer food to the Mountain God, but except for the fresh things that are offered for the first time, the Mountain God basically does not accept them. They just put them on the altar and offer them, and then they can take them down and eat them after completing the process.

During this process, the things placed on the altar can also be blessed by the mountain god, and it is said that eating them is good for the body.

Xu Zhong wasn't quite sure how good it was, but since there was such a saying, he naturally believed it.

The mountain god is not stingy, but they do not invite the god for the "benefits" given by the mountain god. In the final analysis, they just want the "protection" of the mountain god to protect them from being disturbed by monsters and beasts.

Also, other gods eat people, but the mountain god doesn't.

These two points alone are enough for them to believe.

If you build a mountain temple later, you can get the "temple building benefits" or other things from the mountain god.

Not everyone can become a messenger of God, and most people don't think about it that way.

Most of the ordinary people also pray for the first two types. When they have the ability, they will pray for the third type. The last type depends on luck.

If he is lucky, he can become a messenger of God like his nephew Yu Zhongdou. If he is not so lucky, he can be an ordinary believer, farming under the protection of the mountain god and live a good life. There is nothing wrong with that.

If you have any good stuff, you can also take it to the Huangshan Grocery Store and see if you can exchange it with the Ginkgo Tree God.

Of course, if you are lucky and have captured a monster, but don’t want to make such a trip, you can offer it as a sacrifice to the Mountain God.

Sometimes, the mountain god would bless with other things, or directly help purify the monster meat.

For example, his nephew Yu Zhongdou offered sacrifices to monsters and obtained a lot of good things.

He was also given a few pieces of talisman paper for protection.

He also gave one of the "amulets" to his daughter Xu Runiang.

He had always believed that only monster meat could be rewarded by the Mountain God. Now his daughter only sent some carefully prepared food and got a bag of seeds. Xu Zhong suddenly felt that perhaps they should be more attentive in their offerings.

Maybe he'll get some unexpected rewards like his daughter.

Xu Zhong did not hide the matter of winter wheat seeds from other village heads. He mentioned it when he attended the regular meeting of the Niba Eighteenth Village Paper Mill.

Others were also very surprised and asked, "They just sent food, nothing else?"

"No, but Aunt Chen's cooking skills are very good. I heard that her ancestors were chefs, so she learned a little bit from them."
