The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 474
Before Gu Yi left, he donated 20,000 yuan, which is very rare for a Buddhist who does not believe in it.

Some people have a predestined relationship with Buddha, and some people have no predestined relationship with Buddha.

Those who have a relationship with the Buddha worship, worship, worship, visit and practice the Buddha; those who have no relationship with the Buddha are distant, far away from the Buddha, abandoning the Buddha, cursing the Buddha, and cursing the Buddha.

When the Buddha crosses a predestined person, good and evil are just a thought away.

Lao Tan sent Gu Yi and Yang Zhijun to the parking lot on the mountainside, and watched them go away, feeling a sense of sadness in his heart.

Gu Yi told him about opening a store, and he persuaded Gu Yi not to open it, telling him that this year is mainly to recuperate and practice internal strength, improve the quality of dishes and services, improve management capabilities, and improve the operating system. Save energy for future development.

Although Gu Yi was puzzled, he believed in Lao Tan in this regard, so he agreed.

Before Lao Tan went up the mountain, he had given Zhou Xiaomei the focus of this year's work. He hoped that Zhou Xiaomei could follow the plan he had made, which was the most correct for Aqiao.

Again, money is not earned overnight.If the foundation is not well laid, everything is a castle in the air, and sooner or later it will collapse.This year is a year of rectification, laying the foundation, and returning funds. Only when the foundation is laid and the funds come back can we be ready to develop and develop our grand plans.

He also thought about his body.

It is false to say that you are not afraid of death. As the saying goes, it is better to live than to die. If you have a glimmer of hope, you don't want to die.

I have to admit that he has a good attitude and is optimistic about his condition, and he is glad that he met a good Chinese medicine doctor, who can responsibly prescribe the right medicine and treat the disease, and control the condition.

He could feel the changes in his body. The cancer cells were controlled from the root, unlike chemotherapy that only killed them on the surface.

This feeling is wonderful and can be felt, but it is difficult to explain.

If cancer cells are compared to a poisonous lotus, then his stomach is the soil suitable for the growth of this poisonous lotus.

If it is chemotherapy, only a few petals of the lotus are withered, but the roots and soil are still there.After a few days, the withered petals withered and new petals grew.

The current situation is that the poisonous lotus is still growing normally, but the soil suitable for its growth is quietly changing, from being suitable in the past to becoming unsuitable.To put it bluntly, the nutrients for the growth of the poisonous lotus are gradually decreasing, and will disappear in a short time.

Once the soil is gone, the poisonous lotus will die no matter how well it grows, sooner or later.

This is the magic of Chinese medicine - the source of the cure.If you don't cure it, just go to the root.

Old Tan understands the truth that getting sick is like a wall falling down, and getting rid of a disease is like spinning silk. He is now maintaining an optimistic attitude, telling himself not to worry, and take care of it slowly. It is estimated that he will recover in two years.

It’s best not to have anything happen during this period, and don’t get angry in a hurry. Once you get angry in a hurry, it is easy to make the condition worse and all previous efforts will be wasted.

This is how he really feels, and so is the reality.

In the afternoon, seven pilgrims from Chongqing arrived.

The seven pilgrims consisted of four women and three men, with an average age in their fifties.The oldest, 68, is the team leader, named Wang Jianguo, who was born in the army, tall and tall, with a Chinese character face, majestic, not angry and majestic, like a chief executive.

The other two men are about 61 years old and of medium build. They seem to be retired cadres. Their names are Wang Shengli and Li Guohua.

Among the four women, the oldest, 58, is called Li Xia, and the other three are Yue Guimei, Li Yanjing, and Yuan Fang.Yuan Fang is the youngest, 45.

The seven people are all diabetics, so it can be said that they are fellow patients.They all love to travel, and they are also Buddhist believers, so they organized together and started to visit ancient temples hidden in the mountains.Along the way, he not only cultivated his sentiments, but also exercised his body, indirectly cured the disease, and at the same time paid homage to the Buddha, which can be said to kill four birds with one stone.

To be honest, pilgrims like them who can travel around have an economic foundation, and ordinary people can't compare.Ordinary people suffer from diabetes and live in tight clothing and food. No matter how good they are, they can live a tight life. It is impossible to travel around-it doesn't cost money.

That night, Lao Tan cooked a table full of dishes to welcome the new friends. Knowing that they are from Chongqing, he specially made four spicy and numb dishes.

Mr. Jia brought out the pine needle wine, and Lao Tan also contributed the ganoderma lucidum and ginseng wine, and they had a sumptuous dinner together.

At the dinner table, Mr. Jia explained the rules here, and the seven people understood it immediately, and they also understood it before they came. Wang Jianguo made personnel arrangements on the spot.

Wang Shengli and Li Guohua were in charge of carrying water, Li Xia and Du Guimei were making breakfast, Li Yanjing and Yuan Fang were in charge of cooking for Lao Tan, and went up the mountain with him to collect firewood.

Wang Jianguo said: "We have traveled to many places. In other places, we pay to live in guest rooms and eat meals. There is also a time limit, which cannot exceed five days. Those places are said to be in the mountains, but they are actually commercialized. Drinking saliva is not enough. ask for money.

We know this place from the Internet. Someone who has stayed here posted photos on the Internet and introduced the situation here in detail. We came here just because of the name, and we have always wanted to find such a place. "

Li Xia, the oldest of the four women, said worriedly: "We got off the train from Hohhot and hired a minibus when we came here. We didn't have time to buy too many vegetables, and there was little rice and noodles, which was enough for a week. -"

Lao Tan said: "Don't worry about the food. The rice, flour, oil and oil I brought are enough for us to eat for a month, and the meat is enough. Today my friend brought a lot. Don't worry about the vegetables. There will be a special car going down the mountain every three days to buy them. Just give it to them.

When you came here, you should have seen the village where you just entered the mountain. You can buy all the vegetables there. They are pure green, so you can rest assured. "

The next morning, Lao Tan led Wang Shengli and Li Guohua to Donggou to fetch water, Mr. Jia led Wang Jianguo, Li Yanjing, and Yuan Fang up the mountain to collect firewood, and Mrs. Jiang led Li Xia and Yue Guimei to make breakfast.

It was the first time for Wang Shengli and Li Guohua to carry water. Lao Tan didn't ask them to carry a full bucket, but filled two buckets with one bucket of water, which was not easy to sprinkle but also brisk.

"You two come here step by step, don't get tired all at once, you are over [-] years old, you are no younger than you." Old Tan said.

"Yes, I haven't carried water for many years."

Lao Tan walked ahead with two buckets full of water, and the two followed behind.

The air is clear in the morning, and the stomach is refreshed when inhaled.

The young grass buds on the sunny hillside have already arched out of the ground, mixed with the withered grass, looking from a distance, it is green and yellow, with the feeling of spring.The branches of the mountain peach tree are turning green, and the arched flower buds are like blue beans, with a hint of pink in the center.

Lao Tan carried the water and walked with ease.Take a close look at his steps and breathing are very regular, one exhale and one inhale exactly four steps, two steps and one inhale, two steps and one exhale, the pole on the shoulder just trembles twice.

After learning the method of breathing and breathing from the old lama, Lao Tan has practiced for a week, and he has now mastered it. He found the rhythm between steps and breathing when carrying water, and felt more relaxed and no longer panting.

He could clearly hear the footsteps and breathing of the two people behind him from the front. After walking for a while, he heard the shortness of breath of the two.

"Tired?" Old Tan asked with a smile.

"A little bit." Wang Shengli said while wiping his sweat.

Old Tan said: "Take your time, exercise and exercise will be fine."

Li Guohua said: "Yes, mainly due to lack of exercise."

Old Tan nodded, and then said, "I'll teach you two a way to breathe. You two will try it later to see if it's lighter."

So Lao Tan spoke out his method of two steps, one inhalation and two steps, one exhalation, and tried to practice after the two of them took up the burden again.

The two of them couldn't find the rhythm of their pace and breathing, and they were a little confused.After walking 100 meters, I gradually caught up. The pace and breathing reached the same level, and I felt relaxed. I didn't feel tired until I walked the same distance as the first rest.

When resting again, Lao Tan said: "The air is good in the morning, the sun is rising, and the yang energy is rising and the yin energy is sinking. Master the rhythm of breathing and exercise, and achieve a balance between the two, often getting twice the result with half the effort.

This is the practice of letting go of the old and accepting the new in the cultivation of Buddhism and Taoism. The so-called method is the law. Once you find the law, stick to it and form a habit. "
