Introduce some fairy tales

The four major folklores in China are (Cowherd and Weaver Girl, Liang Zhu, Jiang Meng and Legend of White Snake).

The following are some legends about the West Lake.

There used to be an apricot blossom village near the West Lake. In Xinghua Village, there is a smart and capable girl named Xing Chan.

When Xing Chan was seven or eight years old, one noon in early summer, she was herding cattle on the grass in Xinglin, in front of the village. At this time, the apricots on the tree were ripe, and the red apricots fell down at their feet. She picked up apricots and tried to put them in her mouth, but she heard a crisp voice saying, "Little girl, little girl, stop biting and let me go."

Apricot chan looked around. No one was there quietly. Who's talking to her? She was shocked. As soon as her hand was released, apricot fell all over the floor. Strange to say, that apricot has become a rare beauty in the sky, and standing in front of her is actually an apricot fairy!

Xingxian took a dazzling golden hairpin from her head and handed it to Xingchan. She smiled and said to her, "I'll give you this golden hairpin, hardworking and kind girl. When you are in trouble, just knock on the golden hairpin and call the apricot fairy three times, and I will come to help you. " Say that finish, apricot fairy turned into a big red apricot and flew to the tree.

When Xing Chan grows up, she will marry Song's ninth son as a daughter-in-law. She married the Song family, the young couple lived in harmony, and her in-laws liked her. Everything else is fine, but my family is distracted. You want to go east, he wants to go west; You want sweet food, and he wants salty food. My father-in-law is an honest man and can't manage nine long and big sons. A mother-in-law is easy to talk to, but she can't be the master of her daughter-in-law. Seeing that my father-in-law usually has a lot to worry about, Xing Chan often mentions a few words. Her ideas are always right, okay. If her mother-in-law forgets something, she can remember it. Therefore, my in-laws love to discuss everything with her.

Now, eight daughters-in-law were unhappy, thinking that their in-laws were partial to their younger sisters, and they began to whisper to each other.

One day, it was the turn to cook. She had just cooked a pot of rice and a pot of old tofu when the eldest sister-in-law waved to her at the kitchen door and asked her to cut a shoe sample. As soon as she went out, Ersao walked softly into the kitchen, added some big firewood to the stove pit and sprinkled some salt into the tofu. When Xing Chan returned to the kitchen, she only smelled a pungent burning smell. When she opened the lid, a pot of good rice was burnt. Lift the lid again and taste the bitterness of tofu. When she guessed, she understood everything in her heart, but silently added a spoonful of water to the rice pot and cooked it into a pot of burnt porridge; Add some water to the tofu pot and water chestnut to make a pot of tofu soup. It's time for dinner. Everyone who works in the fields is back, and the girls are busy moving tables and benches. BaSao stood by, winking at each other, waiting for cooking, salty tofu and jokes. At this time, Zen happily brought out the food and said to everyone, "It's hot, I made fried porridge to quench your thirst. Everyone is tired of eating this old tofu. I will change my way, change my taste and cook tofu soup. "

Father-in-law, mother-in-law, uncle, little nephew, little niece ... the family had a good time. While eating, they praised the delicious tofu soup, saying that the fried porridge was fragrant to quench their thirst and ate all the dishes in the iron pot.

After this time, the eldest sister-in-law really admired Xing Chan, and seeing that she respected her in-laws, considerate her husband and treated others kindly, she recommended her to be a maiden, so as to lighten the burden on her elderly in-laws.

Xing chan has never raised a child since she took over. She always discusses things with everyone and arranges all the farms and housework on a stop-and-go basis. Those nine brothers live in the fields exclusively and don't have to worry about family affairs at all. There are nine sisters-in-law at home, who spin and weave, sew clothes and make shoes, and arrange meals every day. My mother-in-law is in charge of the children, and my father-in-law is in charge of the market. Older girls also have things to do, such as herding cattle, mowing grass, chopping wood and collecting dung. In this way, the family has no worries about food and clothing, life is getting better and the house is decorated.

Xingchan's housekeeper is very fair. Food and clothing are never thicker than this, and everyone always has a share. The whole family, old and young, loves the young, and the young respects the old; My brother and sister-in-law are also very kind, even the little girl has become good.

Xingchan is most willing to help others. The neighbor is short of firewood and utensils, so she always lends them out without waiting for others to speak. So people in the surrounding villages worship Xing Chan. People teach their daughters and daughters-in-law and always say, "Look at them!"

You praise Xing Chan, and I also praise Xing Chan. Pass it around, and the emperors in the palace have to know. The emperor didn't believe that there would be such a capable daughter-in-law, so he sent an imperial envoy to give an almond to the Song family to eat and see what apricot could do with it.

Father Song's family was shocked to hear the imperial edict. Only Xingchan took the almond from the imperial envoy unhurriedly and said, "Your Majesty, thank you very much. Please sit in the hall and watch our family eat this almond before leaving. "

Apricot greedy move bricks, piled a furnace in the class on the spot. A big pot was put on the stove, and the pot was full of boiling water. She cooks almonds in the pot, adds some brown sugar to the pot, and puts them in spoonfuls. Ha! No more, no less, just one bowl per person, and the whole family ate almond tea!
