Chapter 125: Being Well-fed Is the Capital of Revolution
"Master, do you really want to get involved?" The young monk asked his master in confusion on the way back to the monastery. Didn't the master always say that monks should not get involved in worldly affairs? Why did he respond so readily?
"He is the Lord of Kindness! I just mentioned it casually, it's not meddling, Amitabha!" The master knew very well that he had been protected by the nobleman for so many years, and the nobleman had silently contributed to the expansion of the temple. Otherwise, even if he was a high monk, he would not be able to escape the precarious life of living in a shabby room and begging for alms everywhere. It was just the truth that those who are righteous will have many supporters, while those who are unrighteous will have few.
The three male owners did not return home all night, and the three sisters tacitly chose to stay in Xiaoyao Garden early the next morning.
Yiyi's idea is that since everyone is so busy now, if she stays with her sister, Xiaoqi and Xiaoba will be free to do many things, and one more person can help more.
Yanan had similar thoughts. Last night, she was loved by her husband Shen Wen. She was only one hour later than Yiyi. Yes, one hour! After Yiyi and Bailu walked around the garden hand in hand, picked fresh fruits and vegetables with the help of Xiaojiu, chopped the meat, kneaded the dough at home, and made several plates of dumplings, Yanan was brought by her husband.
"Wow, dumplings! I'm in for a treat." As Yanan walked in and saw the dumplings on the table, she began her exaggerated performance.
"This woman's personality suddenly changed!" Bai Lu said as she leaned close to Yi Yi.
"This woman is so charming!" Yiyi nodded in agreement.
"You can tell at a glance that she's been moistened by a man..." Bai Lu has returned to her sharp-tongued nature after two months.
"..." Yiyi glanced sideways, where was she looking?
"Look, she has developed an S-shaped figure." Bai Lu continued to comment as if no one was around.
"Oh..." Yiyi nodded!
The protagonist Yanan ignored her sisters' performances and lay down on the sofa. "I want the universal soul dip!"
"Who did it?" Yiyi asked.
"Her!" Bai Lu pointed her finger at Yanan! At the same time, she also broke off Yiyi's finger and pointed it at Yanan.
"Pfft, hahaha..." The three women burst into laughter.
"I'll go if I want. Everyone has the responsibility to take care of pregnant women." Yanan got up after a while. "Do you want to steam or boil the dumplings?"
"Boil!" Bailu and Yiyi spoke at the same time, and they sat obediently waiting for their sister to take care of them.
Xiaojiu was the only one left in Xiaoyao Garden. After making the dumplings, he went back to the kitchen to light the fire and cook nutritious soup, taking care of the two pregnant women as instructed by his brothers.
"Xiaojiu, is the soup almost ready?" Yanan poked his head into the kitchen to take a look.
"Uh, okay, now just simmer it on low heat." Xiaojiu stood up and replied.
Yanan: "Oh, okay, I'll blanch some vegetables for soup. Is one plate of dumplings enough for you? Do you want to buy more dishes?"
Xiaojiu: "That's enough! We've made enough dumplings. Brothers, don't come back here for lunch."
"Okay! Then I'll blanch some vegetables and make the dipping sauce. You go and bring all the dumplings over. I'll do it!" Yanan naturally took over the kitchen work.
Cooking dumplings was easy for her. She prepared two flavors of dipping sauce, but she still had to consider the conditions of her sisters. She was very free to do what she wanted, mixing seven or eight kinds of ingredients together, which was fragrant, spicy and tasty!
As soon as noon arrived, Yanan had already prepared everything! On the coffee table, each person had a plate of dumplings, a few small bowls of dipping sauce, a plate of green vegetables, and a casserole of nutritious soup.
Xiaojiu wanted to give them some space to be alone, so she wanted to take her own portion back to her room to eat, but was stopped by the three sisters.
"Don't leave in such a hurry. Wait until you finish eating. I have something to ask you." Yiyi said frankly that she had something to say.
"Little aunt, just say what you want to say!" Xiaojiu was still a little reserved when facing the three sisters.
"Eat first and talk while you eat. It won't taste good if it's cold. You can all try the sauce I made. Bailu and Yiyi can only taste a little bit, not more!" Yanan asked everyone to eat first and then talk.
Bai Lu, whose appetite had improved, took the lead and took a dumpling and rolled it into the dipping sauce bowl before putting it into her mouth. She nodded in satisfaction and praised, "Mmm... Delicious! Very delicious! I want to change this sauce!"
"You can't eat too much, try something else." Yanan moved away decisively.
"You are deliberately seducing me and not giving me food. You have no conscience and are so mean!" Bai Lu complained that Yanan had no conscience.
"Be good, Yiyi is very good..." Yanan turned around but swallowed her words. She found that Yiyi sprinkled the soul sauce on the dumplings. What else can she say about this action? !
"Haha, Yiyi did a great job! Don't dwell on what to eat or how to eat. Being well fed is the foundation of revolution!"
"Madam, why do you say that? Being well fed is the capital of revolution?" Xiaojiu asked after hearing this.
"Well... the body is the capital of revolution. Eat first, then talk later. That's why the mouth is the body's supply station," Bai Lu explained casually.
"That's the creed of a foodie!" Yanan added.
"..." The foodies, Bailu and Yiyi, looked at each other with dumplings in their mouths.
"That makes sense!" Xiao Jiu thought it was right. He was in charge of agricultural planting promotion. Their secret power had always been supported by his brothers, and the taxes from the fiefdom supported the garrison. He could deeply understand how difficult it was to feed people. Xiao Jiu pondered for a long time.
Yiyi saw that he was still thinking and said, "This is about the question of 'What are people's needs?' They can be divided into five categories."
1. Physiological and survival needs: meeting basic needs of food, clothing, shelter, transportation, childbearing, and mastering survival skills.
2. Security needs: Security of life and property, such as housing, medical care, and health.
3. Social needs: Interacting with others and society to reflect one's existence in the group, involving giving and receiving love.
4. Career needs. To reflect the meaning and value of one’s existence, to demonstrate self-esteem and respect from others, which is specifically reflected in the right to allocate finances, the right to control time, and the right to personnel autonomy.
5. The need for self-realization. It is the perfect destination for spiritual and material pursuits.
“This is the theory of needs that we have learned, which involves all aspects of life.
The more basic the needs are, the more fundamental they are. They are the most basic requirements for people to maintain their own survival, including hunger, thirst, clothing, shelter, sex, and health. These needs are the most powerful driving force for people to act. They are also the basis for pursuing all needs. So it is the capital of revolution!
If the basic needs are not met, people will not think about anything else but just want to survive, and their thinking ability and moral values will obviously become fragile. For example, when a person is in desperate need of food to survive, he will do whatever it takes to grab food. It is just like many people who don’t have a partner nowadays will fight for a partner. ”
"Wow, you're a nerd!" Yiyi explained the demand theory based on her memory and understanding. As soon as she finished speaking, she received applause from her two sisters. It was really too exaggerated.
"The vast majority of people work hard throughout their lives to meet the survival needs of the grassroots. Whoever can lead them to meet the two major needs of survival and safety will be their master!" Yanan also concluded.
"I can testify that this conclusion is very certain! It has been verified in our time." Bai Lu also agreed.
"How amazing! Who is so wise that he could succeed?" Xiaojiu felt extremely mysterious. He never knew that he could use such thoughts to guide his work, and that studying these aspects could also be helpful. Xiaojiu's inner world suddenly opened up, and he decided to follow this line of thought and conduct in-depth investigation and research, hoping to help his little uncle.
"It's not the power of one person, it's the power of a group." Yiyi didn't know whether she should explain to him that it was the power of a political group, so she just left it at that!
"Xiaojiu, you have three sisters as your teachers, remember to pay the tuition fees!" Yanan teased.
"Okay, I understand." Xiaojiu nodded obediently!
"So I have found my career path? Tutoring Xiaojiu?" Yiyi said.
"I should have received this money. You stole my job!" Bai Lu fought back unconvinced.
"Hahaha..." Three sisters spend a day teasing a little boy!
