Chapter 5

The old lady was so happy that she said, "speak quickly."

Sermon Liu: "Although the Liu family has done a low-key job of accumulating virtue, doing good deeds and providing relief to the victims, the Bodhisattva also knows. Otherwise, he would not say that no one has seen the practice. God knows it. His grandson is thinking that life is alive, people act and people do. Heaven is watching. The Liu family is not short of money. We must build up this porridge shed and make it beautiful. Only in this way can the Bodhisattva be happy. Liu used to be happy The porridge shed only supplies 500 Jin of rice a day. From now on, at 12 o'clock a day, you can supply it whenever you come. Don't interrupt. "

The old lady said, "you must! Bodhisattvas all know that if we don't make a scene, we are disrespectful to Bodhisattvas."

Seeing that the trick succeeded, Liu Bu was very happy and said, "I'm lucky! With your order, the grandson will arrange the housekeeper to do it immediately."

The old lady said, "old Buddha?"

Liu Bu flattered: "grandma, you are the person who has hung up the number in the Bodhisattva. You will become an immortal and become a Buddha sooner or later, so you have to call the old Buddha!"

The old lady smiled into a flower and said, "old lady, how can ordinary people be called Buddha?"

Liu preached, "you've hung up your number at Guanyin Bodhisattva. Of course, you can stand it. After 99 years, you'll report to Guanyin Bodhisattva and be in the immortal class!" he knelt down again and said, "I wish the old Buddha eternal happiness and longevity with the sky." as soon as he winked at others, others knelt down and praised them in unison.

Of course, Liu Yuanqiao is the biggest in Liu's house. The seven grade official of the current Dynasty is the head of the family, followed by Liu bu. Liu Yuanqiao is filial to his mother and obeys Mrs. Liu. She is the supreme existence. Liu Bu can see clearly and please Mrs. Liu. He can walk sideways in Liu's house.

Liu Bu can't resist even Empress Dowager Cixi, who is used to seeing the world in future generations, let alone old lady Liu.

The old lady couldn't close her mouth with a smile and said, "get up! Get up! There are many rewards." as soon as the old lady was happy, she immediately rewarded Liu Buyu Ruyi, a pair of dragon and Phoenix jade pendants, ten brocades, and others.

Liu Bu was very happy that he had won the prize and said, "my grandson has gone to supervise the porridge shed."

The old lady said, "go! Go! This is what the Bodhisattva told you, but you can't neglect it."

Liu Bu came out of Ankang happily and said to Liu Ning, "go to the accounting room and lead the way! Who? Go and call the housekeeper Xu Jianqiang."

Liu Ning is a dull and deep man. He doesn't talk and smile on weekdays. Now he likes to move color and is very happy. He said, "good! Childe! Please!"

Liu Bu came to the accounting room. Mr. account Liu Fugui greeted him and bowed: "young master, you haven't been far away. It's disrespectful."

Liu Bu was a modest, cautious and low-key man. Life smoothed all his edges and corners, but now he is a young master and should have style. He nodded sharply, sat down and said proudly: "From now on, the porridge shed in Liu's house will be supplied at 12:00 a day, subject to the standing chopsticks. My young master will supervise at any time. Anyone who dares to commit fraud will be severely punished!"

"There is not much pressure on the reconciliation," said the accountant Liu. "The earlier reduction was all due to the refugees taking porridge and blocking the front door, which made it inconvenient to get in and out of the house and lost the view support. I'm afraid adults will be unhappy if the young master changes it without authorization."

In ordinary people, the head of the family, of course, is called the master, but Liu Yuanqiao is an official of the imperial court. He prefers to be called an adult, which is more dignified and dignified.

At this time, the housekeeper Xu Jianqiang arrived. He hurriedly said, "yes! Young master, please think twice. My Lord is a figure in the officialdom. There are great scholars in conversation and laughter, and there are no white men in communication. The door is full of refugees. It's out of sight!"

Liu Bu didn't like Xu Jianqiang at all. The goods were beautiful, but they were full of bad water. He said, "what's wrong? This is the meaning of the old Buddha. Who dares to say anything?"

Xu Jianqiang was stunned and said, "who is the old Buddha?"

Liu Bu said today's miracle once, and then explained, "when we see the old lady, we have to call the old Buddha. Violators should be careful."

Liu Fugui, the accountant, said in surprise, "what do you think of this, brother Xu?"

Xu Jianqiang said, "the students don't know. They don't speak. They are crazy."

Seeing the possibility of being questioned as a divine stick, Liu Bu brushed off his displeasure and said, "do you doubt that Ben has told less lies? You are so brave. Do you know this is an offence to the Bodhisattva?"

Liu Fugui and Xu Jianqiang hurriedly said, "no!"

Liu preached: "this is the practice of the old Buddha. If anyone breaks the practice of the old Buddha, don't interrupt his dog legs! Dad, what's his problem? Let him find the old Buddha."

Once Liu Bu becomes powerful, Liu Fugui and Xu Jianqiang immediately say yes and dare not disobey. Liu Yuanqiao is a well-known filial son far and near. He can make his mother happy and doesn't care about any more money.

Liu Bu almost loves this feeling. If there's anything to do, tell his men to do it. If there's any doubt, scold him for being bloody. He should decide whether the Liu family is big or young, otherwise he will shake the prestige there?

Under the leadership of Liu Kang and Liu Ning, Liu Bu came to the side door of Liu's house. There was a bamboo shed here. Several guys were busy here. In front of the shed, there were hundreds of ragged and vegetable faced people holding bowls and queuing up to get porridge.

The Liu family's porridge shed is kind and there is no sand seeping wild vegetables. You can eat half full. There are a lot of people in line. Seeing that there is not much porridge, many people begin to worry and squeeze forward one after another. The women and children in front are pushed out by the strong ones. They are scared to cry and are in a mess.

Old Wei, who was in charge of the porridge shed, knocked on the porridge spoon in his hand, raised his chest and belly, and said in a harsh voice: "rebellion? Who's going to squeeze again, and I'll break his dog leg! Yo! Isn't this your son? Hello, your son!" just now he was as powerful as a senior general. Now he nodded and bowed and said hello.

Liu Bu nodded proudly and asked, "what's the noise?"

Lao Wei said, "isn't there almost no porridge? These people are worried. It's useless to be anxious! After the porridge is delivered, come back tomorrow?"

A refugee said, "we came all morning. We've been in line all day."

Old Wei was afraid of Liu Bu, but he was not afraid of the refugees. He stared at him and shouted, "what are you shouting? It's so much every day, or you'll have your dinner?"

The refugees were afraid of Lao Wei's momentum and shrank.

Liu preached, "don't be rude! After all, people believe that our Liu family came and let people return on an empty stomach. Isn't it a way to treat guests?"

Lao Wei said, "it's good to teach you. You know, you can cook 500 kilograms of rice every day. In order to let more people wrap their stomachs, the small ones are as thin as possible. It's a clever woman who can't cook without rice!"

Liu preached, "I tell you, Ben has little to say."

Lao Wei immediately shouted, "pay attention! Pay attention! Our childe has something to say."

When everyone calmed down, Liu Bu came out and prepared to speak. If he was not quiet, people would not give porridge. Liu Bu coughed and said: "I, the Liu family, a famous local family, have always been benevolent and concerned about the suffering of the people. My old Buddha feels that the world is difficult and life is not easy. He decided to supply the Liu family's porridge shed at 12:00 a.m. day and night for the villagers from today."

Twelve hour supply, and the government didn't have such an operation method. Everyone was stunned and couldn't believe it was true.

Liu Bu didn't expect everyone to react coldly and withdrew awkwardly. He knew that everyone thought he was bragging and fooling. Nowadays, half a bowl of real porridge is better than a big bowl of fooling.

Sure enough, not only did the refugees not believe it, but even Lao Wei did not believe it. He said with a bitter face, "my childe, my ancestors, do you know why 500 kilograms of rice can last up to now? It's all because it's thin. There's also a pot that can't be cooked after it's cooked. If it's opened, it can't last half an hour. There are more refugees in the Qing City than Wang BA in the canal."

Liu preached: "this is what the old Buddha means. Doing good is accumulating virtue and practicing. Who dares to miss the old Buddha's practice?"

Lao Wei said, "who is the old Buddha?"

Liu Bu said what happened today and solemnly announced: "from now on, the old lady will be promoted to the old Buddha."

Old Wei was surprised and said, "is that so? The old Buddha has always been compassionate and shocked the Bodhisattva. It's not unusual? Amitabha, the old Buddha's disaster relief and rescue is also a practice. He has great mercy and boundless merit. For such good reasons, the Liu family doesn't pay attention, and God has no eyes. Little people, take 12 points of spirit. Today's porridge shed is open."

Only then did the refugees know that it was true. Such as meeting manna after a long drought, their joy fell from the sky. They knelt down and kowtowed one after another and said, "thank you for giving porridge to me."

Now it's cold and the weather is green and yellow. Everyone sleeps out and has a bowl of porridge on top. They barely live until dawn. Those who have nothing to cushion in their stomach often don't wake up and don't move. Their clothes are peeled off. Government officials patrol the street and pull outside the city. Not to mention a thin wooden coffin, there is no straw mat. Although this bowl of porridge is light, it is the hope of living.

When Liu Bu saw the black crow kneeling so many people, men, women, old and young, he hurriedly said, "everyone, get up! Get up! How dare Liu take credit for his modest efforts? The old man gets up and kills the late baby!" he hurriedly helped an old man up.

Liu Bu ordered his friends to cook porridge with all their strength. In the past, porridge was distributed at one window, but now it is distributed at four windows. This time, it is no longer thin, but chopsticks do not fall down. It is almost rice. He also divided two windows for old and young women and children, and only old and young women and children are allowed to receive it, which avoids the old and weak from queuing up to compete with the young and strong.

The old man who Liu Bu helped up just now sighed: "abide by the old and love the young, have the style of ancient sages, cultivate and read poetry and rites, and inherit the family. It is worthy of its name!"

Liu Kang and Liu Ning watched the excitement while Liu Kang said, "if housekeeper Xu knows that you're cheating on the young master, you'll have to peel your skin."

Liu Ning said, "I don't know what you're talking about?"

Liu Kang said with a smile, "just let housekeeper Xu know! He is a famous snake in the mouth. If someone pecked him, he had to tear a piece of meat from him."
