The female general of the last days returned to ancient times to raise a young prostitute
Chapter 44 Be a cow or a horse
The next morning, when Mrs. Mo opened the door and saw something at the door, she yelled for everyone to get up.
Mo Rao rubbed her sleepy eyes. "Grandma, what do you want us to do? It's not even daybreak yet, why are you waking us up? I haven't even slept well yet."
Still sleeping? What are you sleeping for? Look. Look at what this is? As she spoke, Old Lady Mo lifted the bucket in her hand.
Mo Rao drooped her eyelids. She glanced at what Old Lady Mo was holding. She said nonchalantly, "Isn't it just a bamboo tube? What's so strange about it? It's just a little thicker. There are bamboos this thick deep in the mountains. Isn't that normal?"
Old Lady Mo said, "Is this about the bamboo tube? What I want to ask is, who put this thing at our doorstep? And what's inside it? Why are there bees on it?"
When Mo Rao heard what Old Lady Mo said, she stretched her head and peered into the barrel. Her eyes widened at the sight. She was no longer sleepy, nor was she drowsy.
Old Lady Mo was holding a bamboo barrel, as thick as her waist. But that wasn't the most important thing; the key was what was inside. What was it? Honey. Honey, even from the hive itself.
Mo's mother asked curiously: Girl, do you know what this is?
Mo Rao was surprised that her mother and grandmother didn't know what honey was. Come to think of it, it made sense.
How could farmers like her grandmother and her mother possibly afford honey? Beehives, like these, were mostly found in the mountains and forests. Especially a hive this big. It's no surprise that her grandmother and her mother had never seen one.
Mo's father and Mo Qingshan knew about honey. Boys who climbed trees to rob bird nests and went to the river to fish naturally knew about honey.
How could something as precious as honey appear on their doorstep? This bucket of honey alone could fetch dozens of taels of silver if sold in town.
What's more, there are three bamboo tubes neatly placed at the door.
Mo Rao suddenly thought of the wild man. This beehive was undoubtedly the same large one she had seen in the mountains. She had been envious of it at the time. However, since she didn't have the tools to do it, she hadn't considered taking the hive.
Unexpectedly, this person actually picked it and gave it to their family.
Mo Rao shared his guess with everyone.
Mo Qingshan said: What should we do with this honey?
Mu Ran said. Since this person has been given to us, then he is ours. If he is given to us for free, why not take him away? We can't just throw him away now, right?
Mrs. Mo quickly put it away. She definitely couldn't throw it away. Since it can be sold for money, let's sell it.
Zhang Lanlan said hesitantly. What if this is poisonous?
Mo Rao said nonchalantly, "That's easy. Feed some to the chickens. If the chickens don't die, then it's not poisonous."
You prodigal son! What did we do to our two chickens? Why don't you kill them? Are you feeling bad? Whenever I test the poison, I think about those two chickens. Mother Mo said distressedly.
"Mom, what do you say we should do? We can't use people to test the poison, right?" Mo Rao said dissatisfiedly.
Mo's mother rolled her eyes and said, "Don't we have a rabbit in our backyard? We can use it to test the poison, it's perfect."
Mo Baoshan immediately protested in dissatisfaction after hearing this. "No, you want my rabbit to test the poison. No way."
Mo Rao felt depressed when she thought of the rabbit. She had originally thought she could eat braised rabbit meat. She had never expected that the half-dead rabbit would actually come back to life. Mo Baoshan saw that the rabbit was alive. How could anyone eat its meat? He could only keep it alive.
This won't work, that won't work. What should I do? Throw it away, Mo Rao muttered softly.
Father Mo said: "Is there no other way to test the poison? If it turns out to be poisonless, it will be thrown away. Wouldn't that be a pity?"
Mo Rao scratched her hair. It was so frustrating! It was so early in the morning. She hadn't even gotten enough sleep yet, but she was already being woken up to think about something.
Suddenly, Mo Rao seemed to think of something. She said, "Don't those high-ranking officials and nobles all use silver needles to test for poison? Aren't silver needles and silver the same thing? This silver needle can test for poison. So can silver, of course. Don't later TV dramas all use silver needles to test for poison?" So, using silver to test for poison shouldn't be a problem.
The Mo family members agreed. After all, using silver needles to test for poison was a relatively reliable method. They had also heard of nobles using silver needles to test for poison in food.
As soon as she said it, she did it. Old Lady Meng hurried into the house and took out a small silver ingot. She placed it on the dining table. Mo Fu and Mo Qingshan both carried the honey to the table. Using chopsticks, they each stirred a piece of honey from the wooden barrel and placed it on the silver nail. After a long while, there was no sign of the nail changing color.
The family was delighted by this discovery. It wasn't poisonous, so that was easy.
These honeys. After Mo Rao's repeated persuasion, I kept them for my own consumption. Now that I was woken up, I couldn't fall asleep.
Mo Rao filled a cup of honey water for everyone in the family. Everyone took a sip and it was sweet. It tasted different from the taste of white sugar. It was another sweet taste, very delicious. Everyone drank the honey water carefully.
Mo Rao had nothing to do, so he started drawing. He drew a house structure diagram.
People these days only build square houses, without any thought or care.
Don't spare your sketch. It's simple and clear, and people can understand it at a glance. The house is also very attractive. Murong designed a courtyard house.
Old Mrs. Mo got up and chopped the remaining meat. She made big meat buns.
The whole family ate delicious food this morning.
That day, Mo Qingshan and Zhang Lanlan came back to visit. Old Mrs. Mo picked up the basket and handed it to Zhang Lanlan.
This is what Old Lady Mo prepared for Zhang Lanlan. Since we are going back, we can't go back empty-handed.
So Old Lady Mo prepared a lot of large meat buns for her and placed them in a basket. She also put a small jar of honey and a box of cakes. This gift was quite generous.
Then Old Lady Mo took out another thirty taels from her bosom and handed them to Zhang Lanlan.
Take this. Have you paid off all your family debts?
Zhang Lanlan refused and said: Grandma, how can I take money from home?
Old Mrs. Mo said seriously, "My eldest grandson actually married you. He should bear the responsibility. Naturally, he must bear it."
We also know your family's request for you to marry him. Since he married you, he must naturally fulfill his promise.
Zhang Lanlan explained, "Grandma, that was just an excuse I used to avoid getting married. After all, look at my appearance. No one would offer such a generous dowry to marry me. At the time, I just wanted to stay home and take care of my younger siblings."
Old Lady Mo said, "You don't need to feel burdened by this money. It's not given to you for free. He will return it to me later. I'm just borrowing it from him." Old Lady Mo said seriously.
Zhang Lanlan knew this. This was Old Lady Mo giving her a chance to show respect. She was so moved that tears streamed down her face. Because of the money they owed their relatives, they had endured a lot of disdain from their relatives over the years.
But they couldn't afford to pay back the money. They were forced to endure the oppression of their relatives. They were treated like farmhands, toiling away for them. They were beaten and scolded, yet they dared not say a word. Now, they have finally escaped their clutches.
My younger brothers and sisters can also live a normal life.
Zhang Lanlan sank to her knees before Old Lady Mo, kowtowed several times. "My greatest fortune in life, Zhang Lanlan, is marrying Qingshan and having a family like you. It's the happiest thing in my life. Even if I work like a slave, I could never repay your kindness."
Old Mrs. Mo quickly helped Zhang Lanlan up and talked about working like a slave. "You are our granddaughter-in-law. You are a member of our Mo family. As long as you are well and live a good life, we will be happy."
