Chapter 177: Can't Let Them Starve
Yang Xiangwei had said before that He does not eat humans, and the offerings to Him do not have to be complicated. Just offer whatever you have, such as a bowl of water, wild flowers and fruits from the mountains.
After learning that monster meat is poisonous but can be purified by placing it on the altar, the villagers only thought of asking Yang Xiangwei to help purify the monster meat.
Even if someone wanted to cook a bowl of meat for Yang Xiangwei, with their skills and the lack of oil and salt, the result would not be very good.
Yang Xiangwei only tasted some of the food because she was greedy, and she gave most of it back to them.
This was the first time that Yang Xiangwei "collected" the "food" offered by the villagers in its entirety, which made all the village heads at the round table realize that their previous offerings seemed a bit "perfunctory".
Although this kind of perfunctory attitude was not what they had in mind, they indeed followed His words and offered whatever they had, but they never thought of doing anything for Lord Mountain God - even if it was just to invite someone to carefully prepare a delicious meal for Lord Mountain God.
They all knew that their master's cooking skills were average, and the food he made was just so-so. They had been used to the food for decades, but who was the Mountain God? He had seen all kinds of food, so it was normal for him to look down on the food they offered.
Village chief Wumu was in a depressed mood and felt a little sorry for the mountain god.
Village chief Tong Na felt that he had missed out on 100 million.
If he had known that it was so easy to "please" Lord Mountain God, he would have gathered people with good cooking skills to make a good meal for Lord Mountain God.
But it’s not too late now. The villagers’ craftsmanship is not as good as that of the new Aunt Chen in Qinghe Village, but he can arrange for people to learn.
After learning, wouldn’t it be nice to go back to the village and offer it to the mountain god?
So, Yang Xiangwei soon discovered that in recent times, the food offerings from the villagers had been getting better and better.
The food served as offerings was increasingly rich in oil and meat.
Yang Xiangwei used her spiritual sense to take a quick look and knew what was going on.
Yang Xiangwei: “…”
Although He was happy that people valued His food, but...
Given their current situation, it's unnecessary, right?
How delicious can the food they make be when they don’t have peppers, tomatoes, or even oil, salt, sauce, or vinegar?
Even if they were willing to let go for His sake, how long could they hold out given their current conditions?
Don't bankrupt them.
But Yang Xiangwei couldn’t possibly tell them to stop doing it in their dreams, right?
This will really dampen their enthusiasm. What should we do?
Yang Xiangwei thought about it and decided to improve their quality of life. So, He sent dreams to several villages, sending rapeseed seeds and a method to press rapeseed oil to one village, sending soybeans and a method to make soy sauce to another village, and sending wheat seeds and a method to make vinegar to another village.
Oh, and by the way, there are also tomato seeds and a method for making tomato sauce; chili seeds and a method for making chili sauce.
Yang Xiangwei said that He could go hungry, but He would never accept His believers going hungry in order to feed Him.
Since they wanted to "worship" Him so much, He should be generous and teach them how to "worship" themselves correctly.
Overnight, Niba Eighteenth Village had an oil press, a soy sauce press, a vinegar press, a chili press, and a tomato sauce press.
When Yang Xiangwei received food offered by the villagers, such as tomato egg drop soup, fried bone-eating ants, hot and sour potato shreds, and spicy bone-eating ants, a satisfied smile finally appeared on her face.
He said, how could His believers not be able to cook delicious food?
In the past, there must have been too few ingredients and there wasn’t much variety. Now there are more varieties, and the food tastes much better.
We eat at one restaurant today and another restaurant tomorrow. After a month, every meal is different and there is something new in every meal.
Even the people living in Niba Eighteen Village were very surprised and smiled happily.
"This is peanut oil! It smells so good!"
"Yes, these peanuts can not only be used to extract oil, but also be fried in oil, which is very fragrant."
"After the peanuts are fried, grind them into powder and add a little to any stir-fried dish, it will be fragrant."
"Of course. Peanuts are good for making oil. How can they not smell good?"
"The chili peppers are also very fragrant. Whether you dry them and stir-fry them with vegetables, or fry them in oil, they are very fragrant when you stir-fry vegetables or eat noodles."
"My husband loves to eat. He works so hard every day and has no appetite. I put a little bit of chili in it and everything tastes delicious to him."
"Mine isn't fragrant, and he can't handle spicy food. He and his son like to put tomatoes in it."
"Tomatoes are delicious, sour and sweet, and they are delicious even when eaten raw."
"It looks bright red, just like a persimmon. No wonder it's called a tomato, because it has a persimmon in it."
"Vinegar and soy sauce are good things. You can add a little bit of them to any dish. You won't notice it when you don't add them, but once you add them, I feel that the dishes I cook taste much better, and I even enjoy them when I eat them myself."
…
Sure enough, it is different to have the protection of the mountain god and not to have the protection of the mountain god.
Look, before they met Lord Mountain God, let alone the good life they have now, they had to worry about being chosen to feed the evil god one day.
With the Lord Mountain God, they no longer have to worry about being taken away to be offered as sacrifices to evil gods.
Not only that, it can also fill your stomach.
Village chief Wu Mu sat in his own yard, drinking wine and eating fried peanuts, feeling so comfortable.
The only regret is that the mountain god only gave me a bag of peanut seeds, so I can only harvest these “overnight-ripened” peanuts this time. If I want to harvest them again in the future, I have to grow them myself.
However, Chief Wumu was not greedy. He knew that if everyone had not offered sacrifices frequently recently and "touched" the Lord Mountain God, the Lord Mountain God would not have suddenly wanted to "thank" everyone and bestowed so many things.
Since they met Lord Mountain God, they have received too many gifts of thanks from Lord Mountain God, but they themselves have really done nothing.
As for the believers, they believe in the mountain god only to obtain his protection.
Moreover, the territory is only as big as Niba Eighteen Village.
Village chief Wu Mu thought, this won’t do. How can such a small number of believers be worthy of the Lord Mountain God?
He had to discuss it with everyone and find a way to bring in more believers.
When the village chief Tong Na, who was invited to drink, heard this, he said, "That's exactly what I was thinking about, but I haven't figured out what to do about it."
"I haven't thought about it either, but I think we can learn from the previous methods."
"What is the solution?"
Chief Wumu said, "How did we drag Mud Eighteen Village into the fire?"
"you mean……"
Village Chief Wumu nodded: "That's what I mean. Who doesn't have relatives and friends? If you can get one, then that's it. Gradually, more relatives and friends will trust you. After they get a taste of the sweetness a few times, won't they gradually believe in you?"
"Okay, then let's hold a meeting and see which village has more relatives and friends, and develop them well."
"good."
