The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 468
Mr. Jia obviously met someone who knows how to drink, and he asked happily and surprised: "Did you drink it?"

Old Tan said: "Well, I've drank it." Then he continued: "Pine needle wine is a kind of ancient wine making. Regular drinking of pine needle wine can help blood circulation, promote metabolism, and nourish the heart, brain, liver, kidney and blood vessels.

According to the wine book, regular drinking of pine needle wine helps to filter blood lipids, relax tendons and activate blood circulation, regulate qi and harmonize stomach, and tonify yin and yang.The elderly can carry out body maintenance after drinking it, improve the quality of life and prolong the life cycle.

It's just that there are not many people who can use pine needles to make wine now, most of them make wine like your old man, the effect of soaking wine is halved, and it lacks the effect of prolonging life. "

Mr. Jia couldn't help nodding his head and said, "It seems that you understand very well."

Talking about pouring another glass for Lao Tan, Lao Tan hurriedly stopped him and said with a smile: "Thank you, old man, I have high blood pressure, so I can't drink this, just try it. Drink it when the blood pressure is normal, it can promote blood circulation ah."

Suddenly, the old man hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." After he finished speaking, he poured himself a glass, took a sip of enjoyment, and said, "I used to like drinking when I was young, and I almost enjoy drinking because I often suffer from my wife. son's training.

That didn't matter, now that I'm old and drink less, I'm no longer greedy.When I came here, I saw that the pine trees on this mountain were green and the pine needles were very good, so I picked some sparkling wine. This is the second jar.Do not drink too much every day, one or two in the morning, one or two at noon, and two or two in the evening. "

Old Tan said: "That's fine. Four taels a day is just right for your age. It stands to reason that you shouldn't drink alcohol in the morning. In the morning, Maoshi is the time when the large intestine meridian is in order. When the door of the earth is opened, the waste in the body should be excreted. Then comes Chenshi , the stomach meridian is in season, eat with the growth of Yang Qi to supplement nutrition, and avoid drinking alcohol.

As the saying goes, drink in the morning and get drunk all day, and it is true.Alcohol enters the blood with food, anesthetizes the nerves and brains, naturally confused and ecstatic.But it’s okay to drink only one or two like you, especially pine needle wine, which relaxes tendons, activates blood circulation and filters blood lipids, which is beneficial and harmless. "

Mr. Jia was delighted to hear that, and he was in a good mood, smiling to find evidence for himself to drink in the morning.

After breakfast, the seven of them went back to their houses. Mrs. Jiang told Lao Tan that everyone, like the monks in the temple, had two meals a day.Free activities after breakfast, you can go to the quiet hall of the main hall to meditate and chant scriptures, you can also go for a walk in the mountains, or you can do your own things in your own room without being disturbed.

Dinner was at that time yesterday, and Lao Tan naturally cooked the dishes.

After returning to the room, Lao Tan burned the medicine and took the medicine first, then made a pot of tea, turned on the computer and connected to the Internet, and watched the news for a while.The network is not good, and the time card is disconnected from time to time, so it is turned off.He felt that his legs were sore, and knowing that he was tired from going up the mountain, he went to bed to rest.

An hour later, Lao Tan got up from the bed, left the incense room, came to the temple, and borrowed a copy of the Diamond Sutra from the Zhike monk.

He had read the Diamond Sutra before, but only in general, and wanted to take advantage of the three-month recuperation time to read it again and grind it carefully.

He is not a devout Buddhist, or even a Buddhist, but he likes Buddhist culture and is willing to study it.The great virtue said that he has a predestined relationship with Buddha, probably because he does not believe in Buddhism but sees it more clearly.

He believes that China's three major religions are the traditional culture of the Chinese nation, Buddhism cultivates nature, Taoism cultivates the mind, and Confucianism cultivates the body.

Learning Buddhism makes people let go, learning Taoism makes people pure; learning Confucianism makes people behave.

Although Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are the three schools, they also have similarities, and they should not be superstitious.

Buddhism originated in India, flourished in China, and became famous all over the world.

What is Buddha?Buddha is man, man is Buddha, only obsession and awakening.

Lao Tan took the Diamond Sutra and didn't go back immediately, but entered the quiet hall of the main hall.

Cigarettes are curling up in the quiet hall, Mrs. Jiang, Sister Tang of Qingdao, and the Tao Brothers are meditating and chanting.Lao Tan looked at it without disturbing and exited gently, then left the temple and returned to the guest room.

Not long after arriving in the room, a young lama came over and called him, saying that the old lama who was in retreat told him to come over.He was a little puzzled and asked: "Isn't the master in retreat?"

The young lama said: "It's in retreat, I just want to see you."

"Where is the retreat?" Old Tan asked.

"Follow me, I will lead you there."

The young lama led the way, followed by Old Tan, who entered the monastery again and went around to the back of the main hall.It turns out that there is a cave behind the main hall, and the main hall blocks the cave, so you can't find it unless you go around.

The entrance is very high, and there is a hall.

Lao Tan followed the young lama to push the door and entered. Inside was a quiet room with simple furnishings, a bed, a table and a stool, a few things for daily use, and an altar with an incense burner burning incense.

There is another door in the quiet room, the young lama pushed it open and asked Old Tan to enter.

Lao Tan walked in suspiciously, thinking that this should be the retreat place of the old lama.

After entering, look up, there is a hole in the sky.

The first feeling is that the cave is so big, empty and far-reaching; the second feeling is that it is warm inside, like spring; the third feeling is that it is slightly drunk, full of sandalwood fragrance.

The old lama was sitting in meditation on the wooden couch in the cave, looking at Lao Tan with a smile.

Old Tan stepped forward, clasped his hands together, and bowed his head in salute.

"Hello, master."

"Good morning, Lord."

The old lama motioned for Lao Tan to sit down, and Lao Tan took off his shoes and sat cross-legged on the wooden couch.

The old lama said: "After the Chinese New Year, I asked too many questions, and I couldn't shirk them. I retreated on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year."

Old Tan smiled and said, "They are all big leaders, probably from other provinces."

The old lama smiled without saying a word, and nodded slightly.

Old Tan said: "People in the world know that you have a high level of cultivation, so please enlighten me; leaders know your great wisdom, so please give me some guidance."

The old lama said, "It's just a question."

Old Tan laughed, and changed the topic: "I brought plum blossom three sake to the master, and beef jerky from Tongliao Ganqika."

The old lama also laughed and said: "Leave the customs in ten days." Then he said seriously: "Come, I will give you the pulse."

Old Tan stretched out his arms and said, "Wine and meat are enlightened by Buddha."

The old lama smiled without saying a word, took Lao Tan's pulse seriously, looked at his complexion, asked about the situation, and then said: "The benefactor has been worrying and restless all the year round, eating irregularly, and drinking too much wine, the stomach and liver are naturally damaged. Fortunately, the benefactor Food, the damage is not big, but it is due to heredity, high blood pressure, and bad trachea."

Old Tan nodded.

"Worrying and worrying will inevitably lead to illness, but you are not a short-lived person. If you save someone's life four times, you should die without disease. You don't have to worry about life and death."

Lao Tan thought about it, and it seemed that he had saved people four times.The first time was to save Xiaohui's mother and daughter when they were in Binhai, the second time was to save the decorator during the renovation of the Haidong store in Hohhot, the third time was to save Wang Haijuan in the sea of ​​fire, and the fourth time was to save Gu Yi in the rain.

Old Tan asked: "Is there another saying? I am really sick." It means that the cancer I have is not an external disease.

The old lama said: "It's just a bad disease, not to mention it's the initial stage. Let go of your mind and take care of it carefully. It will be fine."

"Thank you very much." Old Tan said.

"Stay here, put down the mundane things, and practice with peace of mind. Get up early to climb mountains and cut firewood, breathe out the old and take in the new, which can open your heart. Meditate and chant at noon, and the Lingtai is clear, and you will get rid of troubles and dryness, and your body will be empty; I don't know, just do your homework, drink wine and enjoy the breeze, and be open-minded, so it's easy.

If you have a clear mind, you can understand the heaven and the earth by looking at the mountains and rivers, and you can perceive the way of heaven by looking at the birds and animals.

My Buddha is merciful, saving people from suffering and attaining happiness.There are no mountains and famous rivers here, but it is also blessed with beautiful mountains and rivers, four distinct seasons, and its own way of heaven.The spirit of the mountain has cause and effect, and the fierce beast has a good relationship; the beauty of the water has aura, and all things are endless.

I am here to pave the way and build a temple, not for the prosperity of incense, but because it occupies the aura of heaven and earth, it is safe and clean, and suitable for pure cultivation.Good men and women, if they are strong-willed and not afraid of hardships, can also live with fellow practitioners.

Feel the good fortune of heaven and earth, enjoy the aura of heaven and earth, and have no miscellaneous thoughts, what is the disease?
If you really receive the guidance of my Buddha, enlightenment and inspiration, and then go out and do things in the world with the wisdom of the world, and benefit the common people, it is also a merit. "

"You have great wisdom and great merit." Old Tan said sincerely.

"The almsgiver's praise, you are greater than me compared to doing meritorious deeds. I live here deeply, just to realize the Dharma to reach the people of the world. You are a true practitioner. You build a shop to provide a bite of food for the common people, so that thousands of people have jobs to support their families. That's it. It is a great merit to have a benevolent heart, be willing to do good, and value love and righteousness."
