I sold grilled fish in the 70s!

Chapter 219 Propagating Buddhism

After hearing what the system Xiaodu said to her, Zhuzhu became even more convinced that her grandmother and uncle were no ordinary people. Because sometimes their thinking was far ahead of their time!

Moreover, in her previous life, Zhuzhu had never met her grandmother or uncle. She even wondered if Jianlin, Jianmei, and Xiaoyingying had grandparents at all.

Master! Master! Why are your thoughts wandering again? There's a whole host of things that need your immediate attention.

Zhuzhu quickly shook her head and looked at her grandmother and uncles kneeling in front of her. Zhuzhu stepped forward and helped one of the elderly men kneeling in front of her to his feet.

Uncle, please don't kneel before me! I'm just an ordinary little girl!

But we just clearly saw a beam of golden light shining on you, and not only that, this beam of golden light also revealed that person who, relying on his status as a monk who has practiced for many years, is going around extorting money from us poor people!

Yes, yes, yes! If we don't give him money, he'll say that if we don't give him money, then the Bodhisattva will bring disaster upon us. So for a while, we started to doubt whether Guanyin Bodhisattva and Buddha would come to harm us poor people.

But when we recalled what our elders said, that many people starved to death during the famine in our hometown that year, Guanyin Bodhisattva of the South Sea, knowing about this, disguised herself as an ordinary village girl and came to our hometown.

She taught us about a dark green wild grass that grew in the fields, which we could pick and cook to fill our stomachs. At that time, many people believed what Guanyin Bodhisattva had said.

Many villagers even argued with Guanyin Bodhisattva over this matter, but the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva could only shake her head helplessly.

In order to convince the villagers that the dark green grass growing in the fields was edible, she squatted down and picked a large basket of mushrooms growing in the fields.

She carried the large basket of mushrooms to the riverbank and washed them all thoroughly. Then, as if remembering something, Guanyin Bodhisattva looked around and saw no one nearby.

So he used his magic to transform the mushrooms in the basket into a kind of wild grass that could be eaten to fill one's stomach. The woman ate it and became pregnant within half a month. This is the origin of the saying, "Pick mushrooms and give them to your brother-in-law; if the sister has no child, the brother-in-law has no time."

Originally, Guanyin Bodhisattva wanted to turn the Nan Gu grass into steamed Nan Gu buns and serve them directly to the villagers. However, she was afraid that the villagers wouldn't believe that the food she was serving them wasn't made from this dark green wild grass. So, she carried a basket of Nan Gu to the home of a person who made a living by selling tofu.

That's right, this family is Grandma Yu!

Hello! Grandma, may I put these mushrooms that I picked in the field in your yard to dry?

Sure, you can! But could you tell me why you're drying this kind of weed? I work in the fields every day, and I've never seen this kind of weed before!

Grandma, do you think it's possible that Guanyin Bodhisattva in heaven knew the people of Jiang Le were suffering from famine? So she used her magic to make our fields grow full of these dark green weeds.

I believe such amazing things can happen, but how should we turn this wild grass into a delicious dish?

When Guanyin Bodhisattva heard that Granny Kui actually believed everything she had said was true, she was about to ask her why she believed that Guanyin Bodhisattva truly existed in this world when she realized that Granny Kui was no longer by her side.

Guanyin Bodhisattva could only shake her head helplessly. Just as she was about to turn and leave, she heard Granny Kui shout loudly behind her.

Young lady, didn't you just say you were going to put the wild grass you picked in my yard to dry? I was just turning around to go inside to get a container to hold the wild grass in your basket! Why are you turning around and leaving?

Do you think I won't believe what you just said to me, which is why you turned around and were about to leave?

As Granny Kui asked the Bodhisattva this question, she placed the container used to dry the mushrooms on the floor. Then she took the basket of mushrooms from Guanyin Bodhisattva's hands and poured all the mushrooms from the basket into the container.

Grandma Kui gently stirred the mushrooms with her hands, and after she finished doing so, she subconsciously raised her head.

The sky, which had been overcast and gray, disappeared completely after Grandma Kui arranged all the mushrooms in her basket.

The sun peeked out, shining brightly, and a warm spring breeze blew in our faces.

Seeing this, Granny Kui smiled and said to the Bodhisattva standing behind her, "Look, Heaven really knows how to treat people. Seeing that we were going to dry our things, the sky, which was originally covered with dark clouds, suddenly cleared up. It seems that Heaven couldn't bear to see all the people of Jiangle die in this great famine."

What do you think we should use to make this wild grass into a delicious dish?

Oh, right! After we've prepared this delicious food, let's take it to the village entrance and distribute it to the villagers. You don't know how many people in Jiangle have died because many families have no food.

Right now, you're the only one in the entire Jiang Le who has food to eat! Won't you lose your mind because of this?

What do you mean by selfish motives? Selling this delicious food to the villagers at a high price?

When Guanyin Bodhisattva heard what Granny Kui said, she nodded to Granny Kui.

Hey! We're all residents of the same county, and right now is a time of severe food shortage. Why would I, with plenty of food in my hands, cheat ordinary people?

So I think it's a really great idea to turn these wild herbs you picked from the field into a delicious dish and share it with everyone!

Grandma Kui smiled and said to Guanyin Bodhisattva standing beside her! But not long after, Grandma Kui, who had been smiling, suddenly burst into tears.

When Guanyin Bodhisattva saw this scene, she went forward and hugged Granny Kui in her arms.

What's wrong, Grandma? You seemed so happy just now. Why do you suddenly become so sad?

It's nothing! I just suddenly felt really silly, you know?

My husband and I have been married for many years but have not been able to have a healthy, chubby child.

Because of this, I'm always scolded by my in-laws as a hen that can't lay eggs.
