Qingpingguan’s alms had already been posted and spread among the believers, so many poor beggars with thin clothes and sad faces came to the foot of the mountain early in the morning.
Of course, human nature is selfish, and some people who love to take advantage of others will also get involved, and when the time comes, they will step forward to fish in troubled waters.
This year, Qin Liuxi said hello to Yu Qiucai early and invited some city guards to help maintain order at the donation site to prevent the poor people who received the food from swarming up and causing a stampede.
At the second quarter of the hour, the bell of Qingpingguan rang, and people at the foot of the mountain began to line up the poor and beggars, while the Taoist priests and believers on the mountain came out one after another, carrying porridge, soup and steamed buns down the mountain.
Seeing this scene, the waiting poor people began to get excited. Some of them had been hungry for a long time and had been waiting in the cold wind for so long. They were already cold and hungry. The younger children were even crying. He stood up and was coaxed by the warm voices of the people around him.
The poor people who lined up were divided into several lines. The Taoist priests and believers laid out their things and began to give away porridge and steamed buns without waiting for anything.
Some people were holding porridge containers, all of which were old or even broken earthenware pots and broken bowls. When they saw it started, they pushed the people in front of them to rush forward. Some people were pushed and cursed.
"Don't crowd. Anyone who crowds will be kicked out of the team and will not be allowed to lead." A city guard equipped with a long stick shouted loudly: "If you crowd down, no one will be able to get good food."
As expected, the people in line stopped pushing after shouting.
In this way, the person at the front got a large spoon of medicinal porridge and a thick steamed bun first.
The porridge is whole grain porridge, made with stomach-warming millet and some medicinal materials. Compared with refined grain white porridge, it is easier to feel full.
In Qin Liuxi's words, Taoist charity, regardless of whether it looks good or not, the most important thing is to fill the stomach and let more people get meals, so the ingredients are coarse grains and noodles, and the price is cheap, so more ingredients can be exchanged.
Someone got the medicinal porridge and steamed buns and immediately squatted on the ground and ate them hungrily.
Some people got it, just took a small taste, then hid the steamed bun in their hearts and ran away in a hurry, maybe to give the food to more important people.
"This year's porridge is thicker than last year's. It's really delicious, and the steamed buns are also bigger." Someone said happily.
"Yes, after taking this sip, your whole body will feel warm."
"Eat quickly, I will have to drink ginger soup later. I heard that ginger soup also contains medicinal herbs."
"Qingpingguan must have become so popular that it would be so generous."
"Then I hope that the ancestor will bless it and it will always be so prosperous, the most prosperous in the world, so that we will always have such a good meal."
"But I still hope that my ancestor will bless me and I can earn more wages so that I don't have to come here to receive meals next year."
After hearing this, some people swallowed slowly. This makes sense. How can you survive long by relying on charity? If your backer falls, you will always have to rely on yourself.
If you earn money, you don’t need to use it to receive charity food.
"Eat quickly. After eating, I will go up and kowtow to the ancestor."
"Wait with me."
Qin Liuxi took his two young apprentices down the mountain without knowing it. After listening to these words from a distance, he walked away and moved to another place.
"It's called charity. A bowl of porridge and a steamed bun are not enough for me to stuff between my teeth, and it's not generous." A man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, a pointed head and a narrow forehead complained in disgust.
"That's right, it's still thick noodles, which makes your stomach feel heavy. The wealthy officials in the city use thin noodles when giving out porridge and steamed buns." Another person agreed, but his swallowing speed was not slow at all.
After Wangchuan heard this, she was so angry that her little fists clenched. If Qin Liuxi hadn't pulled her, she would have rushed over to argue.
Teng Zhao glanced at the two of them coldly.
"You pick up the bowl to eat and put the bowl down to scold me. You are so disgusted. Why don't you wait for the rich officials to give you porridge? It's really hard for you two uncles to come here and compete with us for these coarse food!"
Not far away, there was a man with a stern face but wearing patches holding a broken bowl and a steamed bun in his hand, staring at the two and scolding them.
"Who are you calling mulberry trees and pagoda trees? Are they eating your rice?"
"The ones I'm scolding are you ignorant and conscienceless bastards. What, you want to fight?" The man's eyes were fierce and he said loudly: "Qingpingguan gives alms and does good deeds every year. Which year's porridge is not coarse grain, but it is more filling than polished rice." There are too many, and a lot of medicinal materials have been added this year. Drinking a bowl will make your body warm, do you think you are too fond of it? "
"That's right, if you can't shut your mouths when you have something to eat, why don't you go to heaven!"
"Yeah, you don't like this as a human being. You are a white-eyed wolf, which damages your moral character."
"Grandmaster is afraid that he will hold back a bolt of lightning and strike them."
Seeing that more and more people were joining in the accusations, the two men cursed and ran away in despair.
"See, justice is in the heart of the people." Qin Liuxi said with a smile to the two apprentices.
Wangchuan whispered: "I thought Master would teach them a lesson."
"Learning skills makes you better and stronger. Having a skill is not to use it to bully the weak. Like this, if the other party just lectures them for a moment, that would be too flattering to them, and that's right. It's over." Qin Liuxi said: "The so-called insatiable desire is talking about people like that just now, and this is also human nature. Among all living beings, not everyone will be as grateful as the few we heard just now. Some people will take it for granted and be picky and greedy.”
"Although it sounds uncomfortable, giving and doing good deeds is not just because you want to get a good reputation. It is to really help those in need, rather than caring about temporary gains and losses. This is the original intention of doing good deeds. Let's talk about it again Those two people, look at their faces, how can they be peaceful and kind-hearted people? They are both shameless people who love to take advantage of others and cheat. How many of these people have a good ending? There is no need to be dirty. In our hands, with their temperament, it will be a matter of time before they are unlucky."
The two of them thought about the face of the man just now, thoughtfully.
Qin Liuxi rubbed the heads of the two of them and said, "Although the way of heaven is sometimes supportive, the way of heaven is supreme. People do what they do, and heaven is watching. It knows what's going on."
Wangchuan asked innocently: "What if it suddenly loses its mind?"
Qin Liuxi replied without thinking: "That means it fell asleep."
"Does Heavenly Dao also sleep?"
"Otherwise, why would God not open his eyes and say something?"
"What Master said makes sense."
Teng Zhao: "..."
What a dare to ask and a dare to answer.
He looked up to the sky, and there were dark clouds gathering in the sky. He didn't know whether they were accumulating snow or thunder.
"Give me, what kind of steamed buns can a little girl eat? It's against you!"
"Master, please return this steamed bun to me. My daughter is very hungry."
"If she dies, her life will be cheap. If she dies, she will die as a loser."
Several people looked around and saw a man in shabby clothes holding a steamed bun in his hand and stuffing it into his mouth. He didn't forget to kick the greasy-headed woman who was holding his legs.
Qin Liuxi's face turned cold, and he walked over in three steps and two steps at a time. With a clever move, he pinched the man's arm and gently pulled him away and threw him to the ground.
